What’s up about progressive “panning” sound by using pure AS3 inside the .fla file?…so that: No by ussing External AS3 Class file but pure AS3 inside the .fla

I Have this code piece:

//Starts Left Channel funcion

function leftBal(e:Event):void
{
if(!muted)
{
soundVolume = volume_mc.slider_mc.x/100;

if(sc!=null)
{
var trans1:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(soundVolume,-1); //izquierda
sc.soundTransform = trans1;
muted=false;
}
}
}

But it don’t does progressive but total “pan” change…

Any idea?

Cheers!

It sounds good, but I think if you tried a more densely populated multi-instrumental sound loop sample you would hear the difference.

Believe me, I want it to work too. I’ve spent way too much time on this fueled by optimism and faith only to come to the conclusion that Adobe’s Flash/as3 is sorely lacking in the sound department.

You did a great job with what we were given, my hat’s off…

this is an example of the loop that i used for the test with the new line of code in.

thanks for the reply – I was excited to try out your suggestion, but… no cigar. Try a tight sound loop and I think you’ll hear it.

I now believe Event.SOUND_COMPLETE is good in theory, but doesn’t quite translate to real time application…

I’ve spent way too much time on this… don’t know if you’ve come across this

but that seems to be the state of pausing loops in as3/Flash for now. Unfortunately.

Let me know if you come up with some magic…
