have sound return after pause

[johnnyu]

Hi
I have small interface with play, pause and back buttons
and a voice over - when i hit pause i have stop and stop all
sounds -

when i hit play to return to movie- the sound does not return how
do you reengage the audio?

probably simple but new at this?

thanks in advance

Welcome johnnyu
Do you mean that the sound won't play again from where you paused it, or the sound won't begin playing again from the beginning?
If you can post your code we might have a better idea how to solve the problem.
Cheers

don't really have code handy but here's what i've done :

we recorded a voice over wav. track and i created a small tutorial
with an interface consisting of a play - pause - and back button.

i then created scenes and simply (here's where i'm sensing my problem)
imported wav. file into library and dragged onto stage in it's own layer -
scene starts v.o. plays things are groovin

now the dilemna..

the pause button will " stop" the action and
i applied a "stop all sounds" - simple action

but when you click the play button to start the action back up
-the scene (visuals) continue
without any sound -
i had assumed there would be a resume sound simple command -
that i could of applied

but after looking thru some similar forums questions i see
that i probably didn't build this correctly -
if there's any insight - would be appreciated.

Ok..the simple solution, using the set up you have (with your sound on the timeline) is to check the 'stream' option in the 'sync' menu. You'll find this in the properties box after you click on the timeline that your V/O is on.
Then the sound wil stop and start as you stop and start your movie. This assumes that you want the V/O to start where it left off and not from the beginning.

it works great - thanks very much
tell me is there any issue(s) with this method

from stability standpoint?

my final ouput will be a flash exe. file burned
onto a cd (pc - only)

thanks again

The other way to do this is with the soundObject and attachSound method.
//Frame 1:
myVO = new Sound();
myVO.attachSound("vo1");
//"vo1" is the name of your track in the library
myVO.start(secondsIn,loop);
pauseTime = myVO.position/1000; //convert to seconds
myVO.start(pauseTime,loop);

//Stop button:
on (press) { myVOPosition=_root.myVO.position/1000; _root.myVO.stop("vo1");
}

//Start button:
on (press) { _root.myVO.start(myVOPosition,0);
}

For a full explanation of this code, see "How to pause a Sound Object" in this tutorial (http://www.kennybellew.com)

The way you have things at the moment, you may run into trouble if Flash starts skipping frames to keep up with the frame rate you've specified.

The flash projector is created and i've viewed
on my machine - runs fine

will it depend on the system playing
the exe. file as to it's performance?

less memory on system etc.

or once it's on a cd - should be ok?

i'll test out your links and scripts
it should help me out down road
and if time permits here also.
