Advanced Sound Object

This object basically is an add-on (NOT a replacement like Onu) to MMF's sound engine:

• Create and delete sounds from files or memory
• Full control over sound playback via their names (instead of selecting it in MMF's sound dialogue)
• Generate custom sound effects - thanks a lot to Tomas Pettersson and Please login to see this link.

I highly recommend you to download sfxr and mess around with it. It's a really great tool and it will help you to use the extension since it is *very* similar to the object' sound generator - You can even import/export SFS files that are used by it.

It's rather late and the examples are a bit messy - nonetheless, I hope that you will enjoy this object.

Here is a simple demo of the sound generator.

Thanks.
I have uploaded a new version.
You can get all generator variables via expressions (Old expressions have been removed since they were useless).
The menus are a bit more organized now, and you can disable the genrator completely in the object's properties (for the sake of efficiency), plus you can set the length of the buffer for the sound generator (It's 5 seconds by default).

Mokhtar, I haven't looked at it yet but I would like one as well. However, I might not be able to play a sound from a buffer in Flash. I don't know.

You can use MMF's inbuilt expressions for that! They take a string parameter anyway.

For example: SamplePosition("Test")

Playing a looped sound is not yet supported but I might add it later.

However you can simulate looping with the expressions:

SamplePosition("Test") == SampleDuration("Test")
+ Set position of sound "Test" to 0

This picture shows you how to do it:

SustainPunch and DecayTime work fine here!

Update. The object has been renamed to simply "Sound Object" - the link is different as well:
Please login to see this link.

You can now play a sound and directly specify its parameters (volume, pan..). Also, there is a condition that is triggered whenever a sound is played. You can then get the sound index and the channel it is played on via expressions.

For generated sounds only. It would take too much effort (and increase in file size etc.) for it to work on any sound.

I *could* add support for loaded WAV files - No OGG etc. - but that sounds kind of messy. A dedicated extension would be nicer.

The problem is that MMF's sound engine was not meant for effects etc. - You'd have to use a separate library like FMOD or Bass that allows you to easily apply effects.

Thanks for the PM - Just so everybody knows (I know some people on Gwerdy asked me this before) - I'll port the extension to Flash Thanks to Atom who discovered an AS3 version of sfxr!

Making good progress. Requires Flash 10.
