I have been trying to create a drum machine in Flash 4. The basic idea is to have several different drum sounds looped at a set tempo (that was set when i made the samples .. ) .. I then created an interface with several buttons, each for muting and unmuting a specific loop. the problem is, altho the tempo is correct, they arnt synced .. and since the button isnt very precise (even using OnPress, there's a little lag .. ) .. It's really hard to use .. What i need to know is if there's a way to start all samples playing at the same time when the movie loads, but at volume 0 (they would then be synced .. ) .. and then to have the buttons simply raise and lower (turning on and off) the volume of the loops while in sync ... I tried several times using different sync combinations in flash, but to no avail ..
