[FMX04] Actionscripting - help with pulling in sound file along with .swf

programming flash
1

Hey All, Another AS novice here. I have a FLA built that pulls in external .swf files via XML files. On a button click inside the FLA I load the SWF into a small window in the FLA. I can get it to play, stop and pause… but the sound still plays because it’s embedded in the SWF file. Sooo, I wanted to try to load the MP3 files along with loading the SWF files. But I can’t seem to get it working. I’m sure there’s some big mistake with pulling the sound file in and getting it to play - I just don’t know enough about AS to see them. Any help would be GRRRREATLY appreciated! Thx!

Here is the code that’s pulling in the files:

//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML()
myXML.ignoreWhite = true
//Load XML file
myXML.load("seminars.xml?cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime());
//Make a reference to current timeline
myXML.ref = this
// Parse XML and fetch
myXML.onLoad = function(success){ 
if(success){ 
var root = this.firstChild 
nodes = root.childNodes 
for(var i=0; i<nodes.length; i++) { 
this.ref["Title_txt"+i].text = nodes*.attributes.name 
subnodes = nodes*.childNodes 
this.ref["Comments_txt"+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString() 
this.ref["Link_txt"+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString() 
this.ref["Link_txt"+i] = subnodes[1].firstChild.toString()
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].loadMovie(subnodes[2].firstChild.toString())
this.ref["holder_mc"+i].my_sound.loadSound(subnodes[3].firstChild.toString(), true);

} 
} else trace("Error loading XML document") 
}

And here is the code for the button:

on (release) {
var lo = new Object();
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
mcl.addListener(lo);
lo.onLoadInit = function() {
};
mcl.loadClip(Link_txt0, "_root.mainMovie");
my_sound.start(Sound_mc0, 99);
button_mc.onRelease = function() {
};
 
}

And here’s the XML:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE data[
 <!ELEMENT title (comments, link, image, sound)>
 <!ATTLIST title name CDATA #REQUIRED>
 <!ELEMENT comments (#PCDATA)>
 <!ELEMENT link (#PCDATA)>
 <!ELEMENT image (#PCDATA)>
 <!ELEMENT sound (#PCDATA)>
]>
<data>
 <title name="name">

  <sound>soundfile.mp3</sound>

  <sound>soundfile.mp3</sound>

 <title name="name">
  <comments>text here</comments>
  <link>file.swf</link>

  <sound>soundfile.mp3</sound>
 </title>
</data>
