Anyone know how to loop MP3

[invijwetrust]

If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to loop mp3's i would really appreciate it. Is there any program that will allow me to do that?

Thanks for the help.

s = new Sound();
s.loadSound("yourSound.mp3", true);
s.onEnterFrame = function () {
    pos = this.position/1000;
    dur = this.duration/1000;
    if (pos>=dur) {
        this.start();
    }
}; 

or if you are controlling sound object with a button to play it;

s = new Sound ();
s.loadSound ("yourSound.mp3");
playing = false;
button.onRelease = function () {
    if (!playing) {
        s.start ();
        playing = true;
    }
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        pos = s.position / 1000;
        dur = s.duration / 1000;
        if (pos >= dur) {
            s.start ();
        }
    };
};

If you are looking to skip the leader and follower silence that occurs when trying to loop a loaded in .mp3 file, I created a tutorial to do this a while back. (AS2)

I don't know if EQFlash's code does this, but I know it is quite a sticky problem.

No my code doesn't do that, and i would like to remove that silence from my mp3 files. thanx for the link.

var _sound = new MYMP3MUSIC();
_sound.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE);

simplest way:
var _sound = new YOURMP3MUSIC();
_sound.play(0, int.MAX_VALUE);

I have a question similar to this: I already have my song cut into a loop-able format (if you loop it in the audio editor / itunes it looks perfectly). However when I import it into flash it.. isn't perfect, it sort of jumps at the end of the song making the loop sound sloppy. I have no idea what to do. I heard there was a way you could trick flash via AS to get it to work.. but maybe that's for something else

can anyone help me out?

check out the link in the post above ^

Well, i did, and ultimately found this code

var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("TheSong");
var follower:Number=50;
var leader:Number=26;
var placeToStop:Number=my_sound.duration-follower;

When I stuck this in the frame, and tested the movie, nothing happened (no errors either)

And yes the identifier for the music loop is TheSong

any suggestions?

[EQFlash]

i have never tested the link nor the method of making seamless loops. i would guess you have to get the position of the sound. let me ask you, is your sound a wav or mp3? cause this covers mp3. mp3 files leaves a slight degree of silence for id3 info, as explained above. maybe you could you my code above and where it says pos = s.position/1000, make it pos = (s.position)+26. i'll have to run tests on it to see exactly what the number is.

[Warbreeder]

Yes my song is an mp3. When I stuck both your script and the script from the site that was linked (in another fla) into a single frame, and tested the movie, nothing happened, and when I say that I mean the song didn't even play

[EQFlash]

that's because my script is for an external mp3 file, not one imported into flash IDE

[Warbreeder]

Yeah thats no good, I'd rather have it from within the swf. Ah well, I shall keep searching

if you have access to the sound as WAV file, then import as WAV and use Flash built-in mp3 encoder. The Flash player will seamlessly loop sounds compressed with its built-in mp3 encoder because it knows how much of its own "leader" to skip.

yeah thats the only issue here... when I convert the song to a wav file, not only does the quality begin to suck, but for some reason it goes from 300 kbs to 3 mb or so

[Warbreeder]

Ok, this is the code I'm using (it loads the song off my computer, don't have it uploaded yet)

var leader:Number = 50;    
var follower:Number = 50; 
var placeToStop:Number;

var track:Sound = new Sound(song1);
track.loadSound("Song1.mp3", false);  
track.onLoad = function(){
    track.start(song1);
    placeToStop = track.duration - follower;
}

var intervalVal:Number = setInterval( runMe , 1 );
function runMe():Void{
    if (track.position > placeToStop) {
        track.stop();
        track.start(leader/1000);
    }
}

Now I have one question, say i have the script on frame 10 (thus starting the song to play) and I would like it to stop at frame 100. Should I would rather not use the command to stop all sound (which is the only one I know regarding this sort of thing) Is there any script I can place within the code? Or something on frame 100 to stop it?

Thanks

(sorry for triple post)

Just want to say I did mess around with the script a lot (well the second 1/2 mostly). I've tried a few things and nothing has worked so far
