actionScript3 ENTER_FRAME Event is not working

Question

I am trying to to use the ENTER_FRAME Event on playing audio ,but the code is not executing the handler function.

public function play_mp3(path:String,path1:String):void {
    var snd:Sound = new Sound();
    snd.load(new URLRequest(path), new SoundLoaderContext());
    channel = snd.play();
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);} 
 public function myFunction(e:Event){
  LogFB.info('test1234'); }

Answer 1

You're issue is likely that the class whose code you've posted, is not on the display tree. (it's not a display object or hasn't been added to the stage).

If it's not on the display tree, then ENTER_FRAME will not dispatch on it.

You can get around this a few ways.

1. Pass into the class a reference to something that is on the stage (or the stage itself). Then add the ENTER_FRAME listener on that object.

    var stage:Stage; public function MyClass(stage_:Stage){ stage = stage_; } .... stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, myFunction); 

2. Forgo ENTER_FRAME, and just use a Timer

    var timer:Timer public function play_mp3(path:String,path1:String):void { var snd:Sound = new Sound(); snd.load(new URLRequest(path), new SoundLoaderContext()); channel = snd.play(); timer = new Timer(250); //tick every quarter second timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, myFunction); timer.start(); } public function myFunction(e:Event){ LogFB.info('test1234'); }

Your problem is in LogFB.
Try this and you will see the trace from inside the function...

   var channel : SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

function play_mp3(path:String,path1:String):void {
    var snd:Sound = new Sound();
    snd.load(new URLRequest(path), new SoundLoaderContext());
    channel = snd.play();
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
} 

function myFunction(e:Event){
    //LogFB.info('test1234'); here is the problem
   // trace("is working!");
    hi();
}

play_mp3('aasa','aaa');

function hi() {
    trace("goooooddddd!"); //is working, I am using Flash CC
}

All the best!

there doesnt seem any error try this one

public function play_mp3(path:String,path1:String):void {
 addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
    var snd:Sound = new Sound();
    snd.load(new URLRequest(path), new SoundLoaderContext());
    channel = snd.play();
   } 
 public function myFunction(e:Event){
  LogFB.info('test1234'); }

ie put the enterframe event the first thing that hapen in your code to check if at least it initialise it?
