FLV audio keeps playing when navigating to different section of page
by Adam Clark on Jan 21, 2009 at 1:20:44 am

So, just like the title says. My FLV videos play just fine, however when I click on any of the navigation buttons to visit another section of my website, the audio keeps on going. There must be some simple AS to stop the audio once a button is clicked. As it is now, the user has to stop the audio manually by clicking the stop button on the FLV playback component. I am using AS3, thanks for viewing and for any input.

Adam,
I Had the same problem, took me two weeks to figure out. I found this code on a Blog. Paste this code in your actions layer above each section of your site: in Home, About, Reel, Portfolio etc..You get the idea. It worked for me. You have to paste it in each section on the main timeline, not just the first frame in actions layer. No more hearing my demo reel audio when you click on another section of my site. Good Luck!

import flash.media.SoundMixer;

SoundMixer.stopAll();

Adam:

I have the same problem and being new to as3, the response wasn't clear to me. I tried adding the snippet that was posted, but no luck. Here's my code for my .swf file:

import fl.video.VideoEvent;

myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);

function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = true;
}

function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void {
myPoster.visible = false;
}

function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
myVideo.play();
}

myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, hidePosterFrame);
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, showPosterFrame);

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,

Sorry, I meant that last post to be addressed to both Adam and Anthony.

Hi John,

It worked for me. I just plugged in the code....

import flash.media.SoundMixer;

SoundMixer.stopAll();

Just like Anthony says, make sure you place this code in each of the sections of your page (Home, Portfolio, Info etc.) Good luck

Has anyone found a real solution to this, because simply killing the audio isn't going to stop the video download from occurring, which will just slow down the experience for the user?

i've been trying to deal with this for 4 days and it's aggravating. i have an .flv movie on Frame 1 and I don't have it displayed on frame 2. But the sound continues on Frame 2; it refuses to die. The above code works, but I know that isn't the right way to handle it.

Any solutions? Stop actions for the component and instance (I place it in a movie clip so it only exists in frame 1) aren't working either.

Adam (and Anthony), I just came back to CC after many months. You guys were right on the money;this did the trick. I hope to give back to the flash community as I get better educated. John

What about all the Flash sites out there that have mp3 players in them? The code you give above stops all audio no tjust the audio associated with a video. There has to be a better way to do this.
