[Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] Audio buffer-- Problems

[rev_nort]

this is killing me.. It is probably something super simple and I am missing it. I get the "a script in your movie is making the flash player run slowly. do you want to abort this script."

I have a bout 60 audio clips that i am loading in when i neeed them. Not as staright mp3s but as swf's. they are all different lengths and I want them to buffer for a bit before they play (they are set to stream btw). they all have a loop at the begining with the following code. It works fine on my computer but not on the web, or when i view as streaming in test movie.


// How much is loaded

_root.cStatus = "buffering";
goPoint = 30;

if (Math.abs(this._totalframes/this._framesloaded)<=goPoint) {
this.gotoAndPlay("audio", "start");
} else {
this.nextFrame();
}


what is going wrong here? Suggestions on how to make it work? any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello? Could this have something to do with the bug (sorry about the dirty word bit 101) in the flash 6 player, and the streaming sounds. I just don't understand why such simple code would freeze my flash player. Could someone just let me know if the code will not work? I have tried all variations... even going back to ifframeloaded.

I'm tearing my hair out here.

it might be because of that retarded streaming issue?

Here is a new FLA crossposted with my other thread.

I re-wrote it, and made it self sufficient. Check out the trace items in the first frame and follow the directions.
-add some audio to the second frame in the audio scene (labelled "add audio here")

I left the button in because it helps to illustrate the problem, but added the trace actions you requested.


Someone please give me an answer to why this is happening.

Hi,

I read all the discussion on the streaming thread - I'm pretty sure that this is a coding issue though. I don't have Flash MX, so can't test it but here are my thoughts.

First off - nextFrame() and prevFrame() will do a 'gotoAndStop' - this isn't what you want, you need to use 'gotoAndPlay' - otherwise the swf will stop executing and will exhibit exactly the behaviour that you seem to be getting - ie. stopping although it should theoretically carry on.

So, use 'gotoAndPlay(frameLabel)' and 'gotoAndPlay(_currentframe - 1)' instead.

further: you don't have to use 'else{this.nextFrame()}'. Apart from the problem mentioned above, the swf will automatically play the next frame, you don't have to program that.

one more: this._totalframes/this._framesloaded is always positive, so you don't need 'Math.abs'.

give those a try...

- n.

Yes I figured this out in all of my brilliance. Foot goes into mouth.

I formely appologize to anyone who spent any time on this. Thank you for your reply.

does this mean you got it working?

Yes I did. Again, I am very sorry for any waste of time.
