getting a sound to start at 15 seconds

[timaging]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get a sound event to play at around 15 seconds. I have the header code in there:

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
import com.greensock.OverwriteManager;
TweenPlugin.activate([VolumePlugin, MotionBlurPlugin, TintPlugin, BlurFilterPlugin]);
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

OverwriteManager.init(OverwriteManager.AUTO);

var sound:Crunches = new Crunches();
var chompSound:SoundChannel = sound.play();

 

and I have my sound labelled:

 

and then I have my code in timelineMax:

var yourtimeline:TimelineMax = new
TimelineMax({repeat:0,onComplete:myFunction});


yourtimeline.insert(new TweenMax(chompSound, 0, {volume:1, delay:15}));

 

I'm reading through the Flash docs and tried to do sound.stop(); but that crashed flash. I don't see a way to set volume to 0. No matter what I do, the sound plays at the beginning.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

thanks,

dave

the following will fade a sound in over 1 second after a 3 second delay. you can call myFunction however you like, for the onComplete of a TimelineMax, TweenMax, delayedCall... whatever

 

var sound:Crunches = new Crunches();
var chompSound:SoundChannel;

TweenLite.delayedCall(3, myFunction)

function myFunction(){
chompSound = sound.play();
TweenMax.fromTo(chompSound, 1, {volume:0}, {volume:1})
}

 

sound.stop() won't work as stop() is a method of SoundTransform, not Sound. could they make this more confusing?

this helps a lot: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3sound/

Carl,

 

this is outstanding. How did you know to find this delayed call information?

 

If I could find this myself, I'd be out of your hair

 

THANKS!!

hey Dave,

 

glad to help. I've found that just reading the AsDocs and going through old posts on this forum is a great way to learn.

when I come across something in the docs that sounds cool, but I don't really understand I force myself to try to implement it somehow.

I did that too, and for a few hours, but never found the solution.

geez... no wonder. I was looking specifically at the Adobe AS 3 sound page, because I never would have thought that just the greensock code would do it. I gotta figure out a way to wrap my head around all this. Just when I think I'm getting the hang of it, something else comes up!

 

 

thanks again for your help-

Dave
