Hi

Great tutroial, but how can I make the bars and music loop instead of stopping when the track comes to the end?

I would like to have bars and music constant until track is changed?


Please help

Thanx

Hi Kooben,

In order to loop the track and the display, you will need a constant loop which doesn't escape when the track gets to the end, i.e. delete / comment out the if clauses in frame 5 and 6 in the analyser fla, leaving frame 5 with the following script:

for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
  theIndex = (theInterval-1)*10+(i-1);
  root.spectrumDis["sbar" add String(i)].gotoAndStop(Number(_root.track.sdata.charAt(theIndex)));
}

And in frame 6:

gotoAndPlay(5);

You will also need to tell the track to play itself when it finishes using the onSoundComplete function. Add the following lines in frame 1 or 3 of the track fla, make sure it's inserted before the line "soundChannel.start();"

soundChannel.onSoundComplete=function(){
  soundChannel.position=0;
  _parent.theInterval=0;
  soundChannel.start();
}

Now you might want a stop button in your analyser fla, just add the following lines to your stop button's on(release) block:

_root.track.soundChannel.stop();
_root.spectrumDis["sbar" add String(i)].gotoAndStop(10);
_root.gotoAndPlay(7);

Hope it helps, best.

Wow, you're efforts to educate are impecable. I can feel commitment as you strongly explain and visualize the manner of producing this flash widget. You should write one of those tutorial books...

BBgorb congratulations on a very well written article my friend.

Hello,

you wrote:

"File"-"Text file export" then the "File Contents" section and enter the parameters as follows:"

But when i use the 3 files in the source.zip, i have different options preselected. Like Number of columns are 9 --- in your tutorial 11.


Next question ... i generated a data.txt out of my first wav file. And started the converter.swf but after almost 45 min no result. Can anyone who has a faster cpu convert 3 txt files for me?

Nice tutorial. I often wondered when I saw those audio analyzers on some sites if they were actually synced up to the audio, and not just a movieclip of a bunch of blocks going up and down. This one is a definite keeper. Thanks.

Hey BBGorB - the tutorial is excellent, except when I get to the part that requires the data file be converted into a string via your converter .swf. Then it's all over - because your souce.zip isn't there and i can't download it. You don't say how to do it without it either, so I'm really stumped.

Please help!

Cool tutorial. I want to start compiling many tutorials soon but I have been so busy. If any of you want to make tutorials anytime or contribute them, you can put them in the tutorials section or pm me. Always make sure to get premission from the user if you can :> As soon as I have the time I will start on some tutorials. I am going to try to make and get tutorials for basic to advanced users.

Hello, is there any chance that you could fix the link to the source.zip on this tutorial please?
Something's not working for me, and I was hoping to get it worked out.

Thanks!

[xk_liber]

Yes, nice tutorial !
but, as deemon328 and bhhgirl, I'm a little bit blocked without the original source files 'cause the link is dead
Could you make it work again plz ?
