Hey everyone, I need some help with a music control menu… I have this actionscript attached to a button:
on(press) {
// Load Sound
if (MissYouloaded != true) {
MissYouloaded = true;
MissYoupreloadNow=1;
MissYou.loadSound("../music/MissYou.mp3", false);
}
}
// Return Message Saying how much is left
on(release) {
MissYouBytesTotal = _root.MissYou.getBytesTotal();
MissYouBytesLoaded = _root.MissYou.getBytesLoaded();
MissYouLoading = Math.round((MissYouBytesLoaded / MissYouBytesTotal) * 100);
if (MissYouLoading < 100) {
_root.percentLoadedText="Not Ready " + MissYouLoading + "%";
}
// Show Currently Playing and Play Music
else if (MissYouLoading==100 and MissYoupreloadNow==1) {
stopAllSounds();
MissYou.start(0,999);
_root.percentLoadedText="Now Playing: Miss You";
}
}
on Press, it loads the mp3 from an external source, then on release it checks to see if the song is loaded completely or not. If it isn’t, then it tells a dynamic text box to display “Not Ready: XX%”. If it is, it tells the same text box to display “Now Playing: Miss You” as well as play the song. I’m using this script for 5 other songs in the same movie, and it works fine, but I have some questions:
-
How would I make it so the text box updates automatically with the percent loaded of the last song clicked? For example, if I were to click button 1, the text box would display the loading status of button 1’s song and update it, but if I clicked button 2, the text box would change and display the loading status of button 2’s song (and update that as well)?
-
After the song is loaded, it doesn’t automatically start playing, how would I accomplish this?
-
I need some help translating each of the above (onpress and release) to functions. I’ve been able to get a max of 2 values, such as the song’s external URL and preloading variable, but any more and the functions stops working.
Any kind of help would be great.
