hi all,

iam pretty newb, but i got SM2 to work on my litte page.

but i cant play files with blanspaces in them...
do i really have to rename all my songs to
artist%20-%20-title ???

Windows Vista upgraded my Flash player to version 10 today and now my SM2 sound is distorted. Coincidence considering I made some changes to my server yesterday? Or are others experiencing a similar problem? The problem isn't as severe in IE7 as it is in FF3.

Hi, I have a problem. I have flash player that works with xml. The issue I have is that on a certain page (Shows) there is a Sliding Panels widget that has 14 different slides in it. The flash player is at the top playing through the playlist.

All well and good except that the client wants a specific song to play when a particular show is visible. So when you click Next to go to the next slide a new song needs to play. In other words the XML playlist needs to be controlled by the Next and Back buttons of the Sliding Panels widget.

Some great soul told me on a forum that Sound Manager 2 was the answer to my problems.

Trouble is I dont know how to connect SM2 to my FlashPlayer and how to go about it at all really.

Can you please please help.

Can SoundManager check if master system volume has been muted by user, and then unmute?

In IE 7 and IE8 (Compatibility mode), SM2 dones't want to initialize.

What's funny is that if you hit "refresh" (F5), everything starts to work.

Can anyone tell me why this happens?

Thank you!

I'm trying to use mp3 files served from amazon s3 to play with soundmanager2.
This works fine if the file is public on s3, but any file that protected so that we have to generate a url with extra path info fais, for example, a url like this works:

"http://bucket.prx.org.s3.amazonaws.com/public/audio_files/10/somefilename.mp3"

...this does not...

"http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket.prx.org/public/audio_files/10/somefilename.mp3?AWSAccessKeyId=11RCNQMECKHP4QK3CP02&Expires=1217112844&Signature=w%2FlgGxPyyaxeHLU3NnA5%2FmjHIdI%3D"

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hi! I'm developing an online phrase guide for people learning English and would like to have it so that users can click on any phrase to hear how it sounds.

I've successfully installed SoundManager 2 on a test page and it's working well.

However, I'm keen to prevent users from downloading the MP3 files themselves as I don't want them to be used elsewhere on the web without my consent. As it stands, a user could simply look up the path to any MP3 file from the HTML code and then download it directly.

Is there any way I can prevent this? I tried placing the sound files in a separate directory and protecting that using Apache authentication, but that led to a password prompt when I tried to play a sound.

If it can't be done using SoundManager 2, is there another solution you could suggest, preferably also using using Flash/Javascript?

Many thanks,
Chris

Hi,
just wondered if anyone had the same problem. I've tried de-activating other WP plugins which could poss conflict but not the problem. Wondered if this has something to do with SM2 style sheet & IE?

hi there

Im at my wits end and im sure this is something simple which i have missed. I have the correct path to the swf url and the correct security domain in the complied swf yet i still keep getting the error:

soundManager: Failed to initialise.
soundManager: No Flash response within reasonable time after document load. Possible causes: Loading soundmanager2.swf failed, Flash version under 8, no support, flash blocked or JS-Flash security error.

doesnt seem to be browser specific and i have gone right back to the code on the ui visuliser page to check its nothing i have done. I've managed to get the page player demo working fine but have no idea why this isnt working

can anyone help?

Is there a way to convert a stereo-audio file to a mono-audio on the fly via Flash and set the pan to 100%left/right ?

I am using GWT SoundManager for playing audio and it works fine. How can I use it to embed video clips ?
I want to continue using the same APIs such as play(), pause() etc. for the video.

When Changing Body properties (overflow) there is a trouble in firefox
document.getElementById('body').style.overflow = 'auto'; //body tag
or
document.getElementById('html').style.overflow = 'auto'; //html tag
and it is the same with overflow-x or overflow-y

the sound is stopped and soundmanager is reseted:
(Flash): Flash to JS OK

no problem in IE

thanks

I want to combine two MP3 files using createsound. It seems the current syntax is a single URL, so I thought I'd try creating a MU3 file ('4-1,mu3') with the following lines. The intent is to concatenate the playing of two short MP3 files as if it were a single file.

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:32,4-1-1
Q/4-1-1.mp3
#EXTINF:42,4-1-2
Q/4-1-2.mp3

I've done this successfully in html, but perhaps soundmanager doesn't accept MU3 files.

Is there anyway to do this with soundmanager? I have applications where it would be very convenient to be able to use JavaScript to dynamically combine files.
