Question

Hello Im creating a game , that have more than 200 sounds , so I cannot just put the sounds in my libray in flash and then instanciate them as class and play them. Because the sound it will play when I click one object is not always the same.

I have this function to play background sound , where enters the name of the song I wanna to be played :

public function startMusicBack(music:String):void{

        var musicback:Sound = new Sound();
        var bgChannel:SoundChannel;
        var bgTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(1); 

        var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(music); 



        try {

            musicback.load(req);

            //parar todos os sons
            SoundMixer.stopAll();
            // vou transformar o som para ele ficar mais baixo
            bgTransform.volume = .05;
            //faço o play do som mas meto num soun
            bgChannel= musicback.play(0,999,bgTransform);
        }
        catch (err:Error) {
            trace(err.message);
        }

}

Ok this worked fine until I tryied do a export of the swf file , and then I got messages of error because of the path to the music is not correct .

Ok my question is , how can I embed the past with the sounds in the swf or how can I call musics in library of flash in runtime ???

Answer 1

You can embed sounds directly into your SWF using the Embed tag:

// the path here is relative to the *File*, not the SWF
[Embed(source = "../../../../../assets/someSound.mp3", mimeType = "audio/mpeg")]
public var mySound:Class;

then you can create a new Sound as:

var s:Sound = new mySound;

Although, with 200 sounds, this’ll probably make your SWF enormous and make your compile time a pain in the ass. For the problem that you’re having, it just looks like the path to your music file is wrong. If you had a project layout like this:

parentFolder
    - assets
        - mySound.mp3
    - bin
        - output.swf
    - src
        - subFolder
            - Main.as

Then in your main class, you pass the path to the sound as relative to your *SWF* file (i.e. output.swf), so call your function like:

this.startMusicBack( "../mySound.mp3" );
