mediaplayer does not repeat playlist

[Putz]

Hi All,

When loading the playlist from an xml file, it doesn't repeat ? Am I doing something wrong ? attached is a fun file, instead of real music, I put 1 sec
blank mp3's. The media player repeat is set to yes.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it work when you insert
mediaplayer1.setRepeat(2);
after the function to set the playlist ?

thanks Wilbert, that did it !

Wilbert,
Also, I am trying to control a movie, one frame is just static text, and one frame is with the shake animation. Before the mediaplayer, I was able to
use mySound.start and mySound.onSoundComplete to accomplish this. The mediaplayer has a start ( onFD,onPlay) but I can't find an event to stop it.

any suggestions ?

I'm not sure what you want. Do you want to stop the mediaplayer by using actionscript or do you want to act upon the situation when the playback of a media file has stopped because it reached the end.

[Putz]

no, I 'm using action script to start and stop the animation based on whether
the music is playing, music off = static text , music on = animated ( shake )

[w.brants]

If you also want the shaking to stop when the music is paused and you are only playing mp3 files, the best solution probably is to generate and use fd data. You can download a small utility from KoolExchange to precalculate some information on the mp3 file. If can be used to display frequency bars but you can also use the onFD event in that case to detect silence so you know when the text should shake or not. It even is possible to shake the text using actionscript so it is shaking more when the volume of the music increases.

I went to kool exchange and found an mp3 marker application - I will try it.

thanks for the direction

What I ment was MP3FDCreator. When you go to KoolExchange, select the category tools and you will find it there. It can generate a fd file for a mp3 file containing some information. When you normally play the mp3 file, play this file instead and make sure the original mp3 file is in the same directory as the fd file and is named the same (except for the filename extension).

I'm confused. The FDCreator doesn't have any options that I can see, beside the 9 and 12 band refresh rates ?

It should have a window on the left where you can select a mp3 file or a directory and below the 9 and 12 band selection there should be a button 'Create .fd files(s)' . You first select a file or directory you want to process and then press the button.

Wilbert,

I've made .fd before, but I don't understand how to attach "events" to it. I figure you would atleast get an "event" at the start of fd, but then, how do you set up an "event" for the end (or sound complete )?

onFD ( fArray[] )
-----------------
Event broadcasted when a .fd file is used.
fArray[] contains the values (each value can be 0 - 15) for the frequency bands.
fArray[] can have 9 or 12 items depending on the format used when the .fd file was created.
fArray[] will be undefined when the display has to be reset.
