RE: FLASH: Using variable to fadeout sound?

[Dave Hollinden]

You're right, Flash can't dynamically alter the sound.  But you can do what

you suggest in a clumsy way.  Have an instance of the sound file looping

while user=0.  Then when you leave the animation loop when there is user

interaction, stop the looping sound (put the same sound file in a keyframe

with its Sync set to Stop), and start the same sound again with a fade out.

I say it's  clumsy because there will be a glitch in the rhythm when the

sound abruptly stops and the fadeout starts.

Subject: FLASH: Using variable to fadeout sound?



Just wondering if there's a way to keep a sound looping until user 

interaction (another question asked this), kind of like fadeout lingo in 

director....here's something I'm thinking...



Frames 1--9 are a looping animation with a variable say, user=0...when it 

hits frame 9 if user=0 then return to 1 else go to the next frame...and 

in the next frame you actually have the sound fadeout setup?


John? Branden? 


My feeling is Flash has some good sounds to the way it handles sound 

(panning and such, as Director doesn't offer that), but no real way of 

dynamically altering the sound....?
