ActionScript 1/2 :: Using Stop() To Control A Timeline After LoadClip?
Aug 16, 2011
i want to control the timeline of a swf loaded with loadClip command. i wrote this code
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);
function onLoadComplete(_mc:MovieClip) {
_mc.play()
[Code]....
function pause on a button is used to stop the playback of the loaded movieclip.
strange thing is that stop() works when testing the movie by flash application and playing it from the projector. It DOES NOT WORK when running it from swf directly or by html with swf embedded. I checked lot of time and the name of the "container" is resolved, but the command is not working for its timeline.

I have the following code:
Code:
_root.TemplateListener = new Object();
_root.TemplateListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void
{
trace (_root.mcBalloonBase.mcTemplate); // undefined[code]........
The loaded SWF 'bt_latex10.swf' have an instance named 'mcTemplate' in its stage. Since it is being loaded into a new empty movieclip called 'mcBalloonBase' that is at the stage of main movie, why it is returning undefined? How can I access the 'mcTemplate' after it be loaded?

On the last frame of my swf, I placed a loadClip("filename.swf", fileholder); using a MovieClipLoader object. Now it is successfully loading the external swf, I can see it, but it immediately jumps back to the first frame of the parent swf. Why is this happening?I have placed the fileholder movieclip in the same frame. Also, the moviecliploader code is not inside any container, it is just placed into the actions section as is, starting with moviecliploader declaration.

I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.

my reverse button causes the timeline to ignore the stop() function on its keyframe and play backwards all the way to the start. Since it keeps trying to play the previous frame, it's frozen at frame 1.
Code:
stop()
// Reverse button //
var reverse:Boolean;
rev_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down );

Where can I find ready-made buttons that will control an FLV and a timeline together? I have a swf with an FLV and I animate images and phrases on a movieClip timeline timed to what they say in the flv. I set up cuepoints that trigger the animations, so when users scrub, pause, etc. the timeline eventually catches up with the FLV, but it would be a lot nicer if the pause, scrub, etc. would do the same to the timeline and there was no lag time.

in AS2 how would i use the down arrow key to make the timeline play? at the moment i have this and i presume i need to put something after that to make it play. [code]but i presume this is totaly wrong because the "stop();" doesnt stop the clip when the "if (Key.isDown(40))" bit is after it.

I have an application with a collection of sounds in the timeline. One sound file is recorded at a slightly lower volume than the others. I know I could change this in Audacity but I'm wondering whether I could attach a line of actionscript to its button to raise its volume slightly.I know its possible to do this when playing sounds with actionscript directly from the library, but that would be too big a departure from the development style used.

I am creating a very simple presentation in CS3, which will be projected on-screen and will have a live speaker. I would like to be able to pause the SWF at various locations along the timeline so that the speaker my discuss issues on the screen, and then presume playing it. Since don't want this control visible (such as with a button) to the audience, I would like the control either with the press of a key, such as the arrow right key, or with a remote controller. How would I encode this both with the press of a key or with a remote controller?

in the old version of flash, there was an option in the property inspector where one could have assigned ie. 8 seconds to a keyframe (esp. text) so one could read the let's say 3 sentences before the next set of sentences came on the stage. i swear there was an option for this in flash 8. can anyone tell me how to control the timing in flashcs4 in between frames? i know how to make the very last frame stop( ); in actionscript 3.

What was simple is now documented by 15 pages of chicken scratchesI have searched through the docs and am just lostWhat I want to do was simple enough in AS2: onClipEvent (EnterFrame)_root.gotoAndPlay("2");But can't be done now. It doesn't work as a frame action either without the onClipEvent. All I want to do is go from the last frame of the timeline to frame 2 and skip the preloader. How the heck do I do that in AS3? I've searched online and cannot find the method, and perhaps search terms don't work. Anything I can find applies to AS2.

I am trying to use a button to control a timelineie if you click once you gotoAndPlay frame 2, the next time you click the same button you will gotoAndPlay frame 22, then gotoAndPlay 44 etc.I have spent the last couple of days trawling forums and a variable seems to be the answer, but I am not sure if this is correct.

I am building a somewhat sophisticated slide menu. I have input a wait(); command using setInterval in the first frame of my actions panel. My wait() function works perfectly.I have also set a few variables to start out being false. Once a particular button is clicked, it sets the variable to true and sends the playhead to a particular spot within the movie. Actionscript then performs a command to that says if that variable has been set to "true" gotoAndPlay "this", otherwise gotoAndPlay "this-instead".
The problem I am having is that when I click on one of the buttons, it is somehow setting all the variables to true and sending the playhead to places I don't want it to go.Here is the code I have placed in my first frame:
button1 == false; button2 == false; button3 == false; button4 == false;
//Make movie wait for ten second interval before resuming playfunction wait() {stop();var myInterval = setInterval(function () {play();clearInterval(myInterval);}, 10*1000); // stop for 10 seconds}[code]....
For some reason, regardless of which button is actually pressed, (cube2, cube3, or cube4, all of the variables are set to "true" and the playhead goes to whichever frame it wants to at that point.

I have a flash web site with multiple scenes for each page. I know, I should use multiple swf's, not scenes, and I probably will if I can't get this figured out.So what I'm doing is that my link buttons set a variable called "destination" which then moves the time line to a frame label called var_transition, where var is the prefix for the current scene.(for example, the transition frame on my primary scene is ov_transition, where the transition frame for the faq scene is faq_transition).So you see, I don't have duplicate frame labels, but what happens is that the transition works perfectly when moving from the first scene to any other scene, but after that things get a little screwy... When I try to go back to the primary scene, the transition loops itself to the point just before the timeline would move.
It's 5 frames with a tween of a single graphic that sweeps past the stage. When the graphic fully covers the stage, the time line should move to the frame label defined in the destination variable, where, at that point, the transition will finish by continuing it's tween until it fully reveals the stage at the new location.Also, I included a button on the second scene (auto parts) that should send the movie to the third scene (bank), but when I hit it, it sends me to the 4th scene (cafe) for no apparent reason.

is there a way to place a control bar and counter into a Flash file and saved to a SWF, the same way you would have a player control bar in a FLV file? This is what I need it to look like... [URL]

What I need its a way to control my timeline forward and rewind. To make it easy to explain I will make a example: Imagine that you have a movie (cars crossing a street - with trucks and buses too). Sometimes there is just cars on the street, sometimes just trucks. I should paste this movie into my timeline(like image sequence), in the background of my application. In other layer will be informations, in this example, about trucks and cars. Till this point ok. But I need to make the movie go to the frame that I choose to be the image of the movie that only have cars.
Okay ... this is in frame 15 of the movie. Then I click a button and go to show trucks info. I click and go to frame 30... at this point ok too. But now I click again to see about cars. Its in frame 15 and I don't want to "JUMP" (like gotoandstop)... I want the movie rewinds (in the speed that it plays) till I get frame 15. How do I control the timeline like this? (There will be at least 6 points in this movie that i want to stop by. And this movie begins stopped.)

I've been trying to get a scroll bar to be able to control the timeline of an swf. For instance, let's say you have a movie clip with an animation that is 50 frames long. I would like to be able to make the frame # of that animation to be displayed according to the corresponding position of the tab on the scroll bar. So let's say the tab on the scroll bar is all the way on the far left, then the frame of the animation would be on frame #0 (or label 0). If the scroll tab was all the way on the far right of the scroll bar, then the frame of the animation would be on frame #50 (or label 50).

what I have completed already is a slider button that can be clicked on and moved left and right and have inserted my movie into flash. What action script is needed to apply to the slider button so it can forward and reverse my flash movie.I could find any tutorials on this basic dynamic movie player effect.

I need to control the timeline with the mouse. For example, if the user rolls the mouse from left to right. it'll play the movie to the end frame. and if they go back, it'll rewind them to the original frame. Think of it this way, a (faked) 3d enviroment (series of separate images) which is rotating in back and forth and controlled by direction of the mouse. (i'm aware that i could potentially do invisible buttons along different parts of the interface, but that'll not work as smoothly as i need) I've searched for a lot of tutorials and examples, but can't seem to find anything that I'm looking for.

I've been able to do most things by finding something similar and adapting, but this one is just not working for me and I know it's got to be easy. I'm working in Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 but willing to switch to actionscript 3.0 if it's easier. So this is what I'm trying to do: I've got 15 images on a single layer, keyframes 1-15. I want to build a slider bar that controls the movement from one image to the next. I tried doing the slider bars tutorial [URL] and I can do the tutorial correctly, but i can't figure out how to adapt it to scroll through the keyframes.
Also, for now there are 15 images but there could be as many as 72.
Do I need to put stops in each keyframe as well?
