Question

So I want to create sound sequencer in flash with as3.

Can someone point me in the right direction.
I guess I would need to use some sort of array with all the sounds, then on enterframe I would check my grid, with ticked boxes and play the sound if it is ticked and playhead is over the particular piece on a grid….

Here’s the screenshot of what Im trying to make.

Some pseudo code, link to tutorial or just advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

There is 100 different ways to achieve the above result, firstly i would proberly have all the sound files in an array then you could use a hittest function.

so if the playheadMovieClip touches current DrumMovieclip ,play sound. This way its easy to control the tempo aswell by controlling playheadMovieClip.x +=1 or +=2.

I wouldnt use an Enterframe function other than to load the sounds and graphics.

If you need help with it upload your grid somewhere and i will add some code for you.
