ActionScript 2.0 :: Basic Button To Play / Stop Movie
Sep 2, 2004
I'm trying (and failing it seems) to teach myself Action script and I'm having a really tough time with what I'm sure is something that quite easy to do. Basically I have one button. When this button is pressed I'd like it play a movie. When the button is pressed again I'd like to stop playing the movie. In the first frame of the movie I've put a stop action so that it doesn;t repeat itself when it finishes playing. In the last frame of the movie I've put gotoAndStop(2); In my main timeline I have 2 layers each of which has one frame. The button is one layer and the movie on the other.

I selected the button on the stage and gave it the actionscript
on (press){
gotoAndPlay("vcsound_mc.play(2)");

I edited a video and am trying to just throw it up as a basic flash video for an April Fools Joke but it's not working for some reason.
Code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="movie.swf"
width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high"/>
</object>
It will play just fine when I demo it on my own computer but when I upload it to a web server it doesn't work anymore. It shows that there is a Flash object. When I right click on the object it gives me the normal "Zoom In" and "Quality" buttons, but the movie itself doesn't play. And I do have the html file and the swf file in the same folder and it is named movie.swf. There is no other html code in this webpage than the above.

Normally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?

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.

I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

I've got a basic little slide show player which is timeline-based, rolling through 5 images with alpha transitions, and on the topmost layer, I have 5 invisible movie clips which have actions applied to them as follows:
on (press) { gotoAndPlay(21);}
This action should allow for the on click button to navigate to that specific frame, or image, but for some reason it is not working.

I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...

I'm making a movie where I want the movie to stop at particular frames.
I know I can use stop(); for that one.
Next I want the movie to start again after a mouse click or any key being pressed on the keyboard until I want it to stop again at another frame. Then start the same process.
I'm trying to make a slideshow type thing so you can understand why I want to do that.
What's the actionscript for this one? I don't want to involve any buttons?

I just want to play and stop my movie on a key click.I don't want to have the drop menu open and have the user click 'play'. Isn't there some way they can just press any key and the animation will progress forward?

I have five different scenes all including three different buttons. When I test the buttons in "play scene" - all buttons sounds correctly in all scenes. But when I play movie, there is sound only with one button (the same button in every scene). I have looked for differences, but this button seem to have all the same parameters as the others.

I'm trying to fade in a button over a looping video clip however, it fades in and disappears after a few seconds. I tried adding stop() to the button but it stops the whole movie instead of just the button.

I am using Flash CS5 and our professor from school has asked us to do a simple project for this weekend however I have been having so much trouble I have no idea what to do. He want's us to create an animation in flash and to use 2 buttons. One that will stop the animation and another that will play the animation. So this way as the animation is playing I can click stop and then click play at random times and the animation will stop or play.I have a buttons layer with 2 buttons on the same layer. One is called start and the other is called stop. I have a seperate layer with a movie clip I created of a moving polygon that goes from one side of the screen to the other. After creating the movie clip I double clicked on the object and created my animation in the new viewer that popped up. Now I have clicked scene 1 and it took me back to my main timeline.
Lastly I have an actions layer with nothing but code. I have made sure to type all my code by right clicking on this 1st frame and going to click actions. Then I typed in my code. Please note that each layer only has 1 frame as they were all edited individually by me double clicking on the object.After inserting the code I have I go to test the movie but get all these compiler errors. What am I doing wrong? Here is my code and the errors I keep getting.[code]

btn.onRelease = function () {
roller.stop();

I would like a certain part of a movie clip to play dependant on the button pressed. And to be honest I am a massive newb when it comes to flash[code]...
This is what I have at the moment and it isn't working, I know this is wrong but i cannot think how to write it the way AS3 would understand it. The Idea is that I would like the Movie clip to play dependant on what button was pressed. So if number one button was pressed it would play frames 1-10 of the movie clip, (and then loop), and if number two button was pressed it would play frames 1-20 of the movie clip ( and then loop). And so on for about 15 different buttons.

My movie has several movie clips each on it's own layer. The main timeline is one frame long. How would I have my entire movie play twice and then stop?
