globalsound pause, play, fastforward

[computerpain]

Howdy,
I am running into an issue creating controls for a flash movie I have created. The first thing is I am using globalsound and have a volume slider. Also, I have different sections of my presentation as movieclips, each occupies one frame and has a stop(); action.

Is there anyway to control fastforward, rewind, play, and pause of the presentation of a movie if it is broken up into different movieclips that occupy one frame on the timeline? Or do I have to put the contents of my movie clip on the main timeline?

Also is it possible to pause and play globalsound instead of the individually attached sounds?



Thanks,

I don't know your movie structure. You need to play around with movieclip.gotoAndStop() gotoAndPlay() etc.

Howdy,
I would love to upload my zipped fla to show as an example, but it is 50mb uncompressed. It is a 3 minute presentation.

Now I want to pause, rewind, ff, my presentation. I am using global sounds and occasionally I have two sounds being attached at different points in the same movieclip.


I can get the sound to scrub and the stage to fastforward frames. When i am pushing the fast forward button it will play the first sound because it the sound is attached on the first frame. However, it will skip the frame that attaches the next sound so no audio will play for the second part of the movieclip.

Are global sounds not the best option when you want vcr like controls for the presentation?

If I dont use globablsound than i cant use a volume slider.

Would you suggest exporting the entire presentation and then creating a new file that puts the presentation into a movieclip and controlling it from there?

Thanks,

Howdy,
I have come a long way now with getting the controls to work with my swf. They are now working great. However, I have one issue.

I have the movie clips on my main timeline occupying one frame each with a stop(); command. I have an actionscript at the end of each movieclip that tells it to go to the next frame on the main timeline, thus playing the next movieclip.

So, when I rewind a movieclip to the very beggining of the current movieclip, how can I rewind to the last frame of the previous movieclip?

Give your movieclip a name and the last frame in the movieclip a name.

name.gotoAndPlay("lastFrame");
