Editing Creating Custom Lipsync Code in Flash (section)

===SEGUND===
It took years of intense struggle, but I had made that big jump from AS2 in MX to AS3 in CS6. That's not where my learning curve hits a decline, though-- recently, having to switch systems forced my upgrading hand AGAIN.

Around this Time, I was faced with a new challenge in my pipeline, since I had perfected my ability to make this space-bar puppetry technique work, but ONLY for games. So.

* How do I successfully export out my coded lipsync as a VIDEO, if I wanted to use it in an actual animated project?

I had to adjust the code for the tool just a scootchamagootch to function with being exported out. Not EVERY AS3 code is perfectly compatible with being exported out, but thankfully for me (see what I had to do to export vector art from Flash as pixel art from [https://www.deviantart.com/homestarrunnertron/art/Vector-to-Pixel-in-Flash-THE-TUTORIAL-492072874 MX/CS6] to [https://www.deviantart.com/homestarrunnertron/art/Vector-to-Pixel-in-Flash-Animate-v2-2020-825684091 modern-day]), enough of the stupid-simple stuff works, and it's mainly stupid-simple stuff I gravitate to, even when I have to chain a whole bunch of that stupid-simple stuff together pretty inelegantly. (How's that for an oxymoron?)

Here's the modified code, which instead of being tethered to counting the playhead position of a sound file (which exported video doesn't seem to understand), it just counts up a generic Timer element, instead.

 <nowiki>// REFRESH LIPSYNC VARIABLES

for(var a:int=0; a<1000; a++) {
	this["doOnce" + a] = 0;
}

// BUTTONS

play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startSound);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSound);

// IMPORTING

var SyncSound:Sound = new joe014();
var SyncChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

// DURATION

var duration:Number = Math.round(SyncSound.length)/1000;
durationBox.text = String(duration);

// START BUTTON

function startSound(e:MouseEvent):void {
	SyncChannel.stop();
	for(var a:int=0; a<1000; a++)
    {
        this["doOnce" + a] = 0;
    }
	var startat = Number(startatBox.text) * 1000;
	SyncChannel = SyncSound.play(startat);
}

play_btn.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));

// STOP BUTTON

function stopSound(e:MouseEvent):void {
	SyncChannel.stop();
}

// CREATING NEW LIPSYNC SCRIPT

var n:Number = 0;
var currentTime:Number;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, myKeyDown);
function myKeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE) {
	if (n==0) {
		n=196;
	}
	if (currentTime>0)
	{
		n = n+3;
		currentTime = currentTime-0.0;
		var stopCheck = "this.doOnce"+n;
		trace ("if (currentTime > "+currentTime+" && "+stopCheck+"!=1){"+stopCheck+" = 1;MovieClip(root).joeava.joehead.gotoAndPlay(2);}");
	}
}
}

// CONSTANTLY UPDATING SCRIPTS

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnterFrameLoop);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, DialogueScript);

function EnterFrameLoop(e:Event):void {
	currentTime = Math.round(SyncChannel.position)/1000;
	currentBox.text = String(currentTime);
}

var startTime = getTimer();

function DialogueScript(e:Event):void {
	var att = (getTimer() - startTime)/1000;
	if (att > 1.744 && this.doOnce2!=1){this.doOnce2 = 1;MovieClip(root).joeava.joehead.gotoAndPlay("nn");}
	if (att > 1.788 && this.doOnce3!=1){this.doOnce3 = 1;MovieClip(root).joeava.joehead.gotoAndStop("ah");}
	if (att > 1.9 && this.doOnce5!=1){this.doOnce5 = 1;MovieClip(root).joeava.joehead.gotoAndPlay("oo");}
// EC TETERA, EC TETERA, EC TETERA sounds like some kind of unearthly beast.

Then you just Export Video/Media, and the mouth timing will perfectly export out intact!
