[RESOLVED] Creating filepath out of strings

I know I'm close, but can't find what I'm doing wrong.

If I remove the variables and just type in the path name, the file does play. So there's no other error in this piece of code.
I just can't seem to figure out how to create that filename from variables.

If anyone could help me out I'd be very grateful.

Thx in advance!

EDIT: I should point out more clearly its about the line = public var soundRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sounds/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3");

I get a 2044 unhandled ioerrorevent error and a 2032 stream error.

Actionscript Code:

package  {
    
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    
    public class button extends MovieClip {
        public var btn1:MovieClip;
        public var btn2:MovieClip;
        
        public var Champ:String = new String();
        public var soundType:String = new String();
        
        public var soundRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sounds/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3");
        public var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
        public var soundChannel1:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        
        public function button() {
            btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, btn1Down);
            btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, btn1Up);
        }
        function btn1Down(e:MouseEvent){
            trace("click");
            Champ = "Akali.";
            soundType = "joke";
            mySound.load(soundRequest);
            soundChannel1 = mySound.play();
        }
        function btn1Up(e:MouseEvent){
            trace("up");
        }
    }
}

Nevermind I fixed it.
The Request needs to be moved to the btn Function.

Ok so apparently I didn't fix it.
Im making this class so I dont have to type 100s of lines of code, but the solution I had, was no actual solution keeping the class function in mind.

So please help me out here:

Actionscript Code:

package  {
    
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    
    public class soundClass extends MovieClip {
        public var akaliLaugh01:MovieClip;
        
        public var Champ:String = new String();
        public var soundType:String = new String();
        
        public var soundRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SoundsMP3Revised/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3");
        public var mySound:Sound = new Sound(soundRequest);
        public var soundChannel01:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        public var soundPosition:Number;
        
        public function soundClass() {
            akaliLaugh01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, akaliLaugh01Down);
            soundPosition = soundChannel01.position;
        }
        function soundCompleteHandler(e:Event){
            soundPosition = 0;
        }
        function akaliLaugh01Down(e:MouseEvent):void{
            Champ = "Akali.";
            soundType = "laugh1";
            mySound.load(soundRequest);
                if(soundPosition == 0){
                soundChannel01 = mySound.play();
                soundPosition = 1;
                }
                soundChannel01.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundCompleteHandler);
        }
    }
}

Thx in advance

Got something that works. In your case, create a string variable and pass "SoundsMP3Revised/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3" into it. Then pass that string variable into the URLRequest method like I do below.

Actionscript Code:

package
{
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    public class Test extends MovieClip
    {
        public function Test()
        {
            var url:String = "ProjectileSimulation4.swf";
            
            var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
            myLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));
            addChild(myLoader);
        }
    }
}

I'm really sorry, but I have no clue what u mean :(

Next to that I found out it's possible to extend one Class to another.

So I started trying that and came up with this:

Actionscript Code:

package {
    
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    
    public class orangeButton extends MovieClip {
        
        public var Champ:String = new String();
        public var soundType:String = new String();
        
        public var soundRequest:URLRequest;
        public var mySound:Sound = new Sound(soundRequest);
        public var soundChannel01:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        
        public function orangeButton() {
            this.stop();
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonDown);
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonOver);
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, buttonOut);
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, buttonUp);
        }
        function buttonOver(e:MouseEvent){
            this.gotoAndStop(2);
        }
        function buttonOut(e:MouseEvent){
            this.gotoAndStop(1);
        }
        function buttonDown(e:MouseEvent){
            soundRequest = new URLRequest("SoundsMP3Revised/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3");
            mySound.load(soundRequest);
            soundChannel01 = mySound.play();
            this.gotoAndStop(3);
        }
        function buttonUp(e:MouseEvent){
            this.gotoAndStop(2);
        }
    }
}

Actionscript Code:

package {
    
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    import flash.media.*;
    
    public class soundClass extends orangeButton {
        public var akaliLaugh01:MovieClip;
        
/*      public var Champ:String = new String();
        public var soundType:String = new String();
        
        public var soundRequest = new URLRequest("SoundsMP3Revised/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3");
        public var mySound:Sound = new Sound(soundRequest);
        public var soundChannel01:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        public var soundPosition:Number;
*/        
        public function soundClass() {
            akaliLaugh01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, akaliLaugh01Down);
            akaliLaugh02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, akaliLaugh02Down);
            mySound.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onSoundIOError, false, 0, true);
            //soundPosition = soundChannel01.position;          
        }
        function onSoundIOError(e:IOErrorEvent){
            trace("An Error Occured and it looked like this.", e.text);
        }
        /*function soundCompleteHandler(e:Event){
            soundPosition = 0;
        }*/
        function akaliLaugh01Down(e:MouseEvent){
            Champ = "Akali.";
            soundType = "laugh1";
/*            mySound.load(soundRequest);
                if(soundPosition == 0){
                soundChannel01 = mySound.play();
                soundPosition = 1;
                }
                soundChannel01.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundCompleteHandler);
*/      }
        function akaliLaugh02Down(e:MouseEvent){
            Champ = "Akali.";
            soundType = "laugh2";
        }
    }
}

It plays the file once, the second button doesnt work (after the first one is pressed, it does work if u start with it but then the first button doesnt work), and even though the file gets played after pressing the button I get this Error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
at orangeButton()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at orangeButton()
at soundClass()

Thx in advance

I can't determine if the flash player loads the sound file because loading and playing is not allowed when file is local (http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/...dia/Sound.html).

Anyway, this is my fixing code. This eliminates all errors, only the file is not playing, probably because of the security limitation. I load all sound from the document class. The orangebutton02.as only holds how the movie clip will behave when the user roll his mouse over, click, etc.

Actionscript Code:

package
{
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundChannel;


    public class Main extends MovieClip
    {
        public var urlToSound:String;
        public var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
        public var sndChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
        
        public function Main()
        {
            //prevent error #1009
            addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
        }
        
        public function init(e:Event):void
        {
            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
            //start all your coding here
            var Champ:String;
            var soundType:String;
            
            akaliLaugh01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, akaliLaugh01Down);
            akaliLaugh02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, akaliLaugh02Down);
            
            //assign functions to buttons
            function akaliLaugh01Down(e:MouseEvent):void
            {
                Champ = "Akali.";
                soundType = "laugh1";
                urlToSound = "sounds/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3";
            }
            
            function akaliLaugh02Down(e:MouseEvent):void
            {
                Champ = "Akali.";
                soundType = "laugh2";
                urlToSound = "sounds/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3";
            }
            
            function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
            {
                mySound.load(new URLRequest(urlToSound));           
                //create event listener to play sound once sound is loaded
                mySound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
            }
            function onComplete(e:Event):void
            {
                //Play loaded sound
                sndChannel = mySound.play();
                trace(mySound);
            }
        }
    
    }//end class
    
}//end package

You should also enable Permit Debug in the Flash publish settings so Flash will tell you exactly at what line the error appears.

Nothing happened in the link you posted so I'm gonna say what I noticed in your first post.

PHP Code:

---

public var Champ:String = new String();
public var soundType:String = new String();
        
public var soundRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sounds/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3") 


---

This code ran when you created an instance of that class and it's the first piece of code that ran. When you created the soundRequest variable you combined "sounds/" with the Champ and soundType variables and ".mp3". The only problem is that Champ and soundType are blank strings when you create them. So pretty much soundRequest becomes "sounds/.mp3".

PHP Code:

---

Champ = "Akali.";
soundType = "joke";
//soundRequest = "sounds/" + Champ + soundType + ".mp3";
mySound.load(soundRequest); 


---

Then in this part you set the string variables to the proper values I assume, but you did not update soundRequest so the mySound is trying to load a file with a path of "sounds/.mp3". So maybe you can try adding the commented line I added in the code and see if it works.

The thing is, that solution doesnt make sense. I mean if you look carefull you might as well just type : soundRequest = "sounds/Akali.joke.mp3". Why should I use the variables, if I parse the strings into the file path inside the button?
What I'm trying to create is an overall soundRequest which would get changed by pressing a button. Thats why I tried making 2 classes. And as stated in my previous post, this does work, one time.
And weird that the download doesnt work, I tried it again and it seems to work.

Still thx for the reply!

For those how are interested.
I fixed it quite simply. I replaced Champ and soundType with this.name
The only thing I had to do now was have the exact same instance name as the filename and done :)
