ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Stop Actions From Running Across Scenes?
Nov 17, 2008
I am using Flash CS3. I'm new at actionscripting and I do not understand it completely. I have a movie that has a few (2-4) scenes in it. Each scene is like its own "commercial" I created a holiday movie that has snowflakes falling using an online tutorial. The movie works fine by itself, but when I load it as a scene in the movie that has my"commercials", the snowflakes continue to fall throughout the rest of the scenes. The holiday movie has a movie clip that has a snowflake falling straight down. The actionscripting duplicates the movie clip randomly as well as its opacity, postition, etc. I understand what I did during the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to get the snowflakes to stop falling throughout the rest of the scenes. I've tried entering a stop after the script but it just seems to stop the scene there without continuing to rotate through the rest of them. I don't quite understand where to tell it to stop. Somewhere else on the actions timeline? In the movie clip itself? Here is the actionscript code I'm using:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc",10);
var i = 0;
myInterval = setInterval(addFlake,500);
I have four games that are very similar with certain names, colours and fonts changing in each. To design these, I built the first and changed the rest - updating what was needed. I then had to go back and add a few scenes to each - which were all the same save for a few word, colour and font changes. I updated game 1, but can't find an easy way to transfer the new scenes to my other .fla files.
I understand that you can select all frames and then copy these for pasting in a separate .fla file. However, this merges all contents to one layer and does not copy the actions for that scene. I also understand that you can embed a .swf of these new scenes within the other games - but this would not allow for changes.
I was hoping that someone could tell me how to copy a scene from one .fla to another - keeping all layers and actions intact.
I currently have 6 scenes in my current movie. It's going to be an online portfolio and each page is a section of the portfolio. However, I have an animated background (400 frames long) that I want to be played throughout the entire site. Of course, when I try and do this the animation resets every time the scene changes. The best I could do so far is to have it running on every page this way but like i said, it resets every time the scene changes. Is it possible to set this background to run smoothly through the portfolio without resetting?
I'm working on a school project in flash cs5.We've been stuck with this for a few days now, scanning all pages in google to find. At the moment we have two scenes. The first scene sets up a menu, these buttons are for navigating to the other scenes. The second scene, pulls a movie into the screen.We've tried putting a stop(); at the end of the first scene, but it doesn't stop. It stops the movie in scene 2.We've tried stopping in scene 2 and tried with frame labels, but we're not sure if we did this in the correct way.
I'm building a point&click application with hundreds of buttons, functions and so on I've added to the main gamepanel two buttons, one opening a navigation map and the other opening a paper with a long text. There is nothing strange, no interactions with those addings (both loaded with attachMovie or loadMovie, doesn't matter).
Obviously, when the map or the text are opened, the buttons below continue to be clicckable and usable...It exist a way to stop all buttons in all scenes?
I have a series of 6 images. In a single movie clip symbol (with the pictures embedded/attached in the swf), I want the images to fade in, stop for 4 seconds, fade out as the next image fades in, and repeats from there. I know how to do this with timeline tweens - but I wanted to learn how to make it in actionscript.
I've finally been able to make the images do this, but when I pull the movieclip into my main animation, it breaks all my stop(); commands for navigation. it seems to stop for 4 seconds and then continues on. I'm still very much an actionscript beginner, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it.
I have a main swf into which has a number of clip instances which serve as buttons to load separate swf files dynamically. The swf I'm testing has stop(); actions on various frames, but when loaded it simply plays through to the end and loops continuously.I was able to use onLoadInit to stop the loaded swf in the first frame, but have failed at various efforts to direct the clip to play again in the manner that I desire- i.e. stopping at the various pause points until a click starts it playing again.
Am I right in thinking this is happening because it's still trying to execute actions that were happening in frame 1 (fading in of movie clips using transitions) when it goes to frame 2? If so, how do I stop these actions so this error doesn't occur?
My flash movie has the following actionscript which makes several leaves fly across the screen....I would like to be able to stop this action completely once I get to a certain frame within my movie....
I have this script that makes random bubbles comes up. I need to have the script stop when it gets to the next scene, but it just keeps running.I have tried an
onEnterFrame.removeMovieClip("bubble");but that didn't work.
I have two functions, both are puting objects on stage and few seconds removing them, after decent of period of time mc steps to 3 frame where movie should stop, but those objects still appear on third frame, but I don't need them there. How to stop those functions?
I'm running a school project which involves flash product.I have used the slide show from[url]....php nad everything works fine, but th slideshow is seen on all the scenes, begginin with this scene wheere it only meant to be seen.I do not really know how to stop this, smth like "stop all actionscript from this scene, when going to the another".
I have a flex app that has several timers running for various amounts of time and for various reasons. I'd like to be able to stop all timers running if the user goes over a specified amount of time, but don't want to individually stop the timers using timer.stop(); Is there a way to stop all timers globally or find and iterate over all timers running and stop them?
I prepared a educational game at flash with actionscript. I newable at flash. But i have a problem. I create a main.swf and other swf's. I call others to main.swf with addchild() code. The swf which I called has sounds inside (i called sounds from file not embedded in timeline or linkaged from library). I create also some timers on other swf files to ease my job. Timers control timeline. But not controls the sounds. The problem is that when i unload or remove the child at the stage i can clear all of the items. But timers still continuning . I search the problem at web a bit and i meet by chance the following code,
ar t:Timer = new Timer() TimersManager.getInstance().register(t); ... TimersManager.getInstance().stopAll();
it is for Flex i understood. But it can be possible with flash? anyone knows that how i can create a timersmanager class and register my timers on it.
I have an event listener for a mouse click in one frame, then I go to another frame.There are no action so mouse clicking should not do anything, yet for some reason clicking the mouse does the same actions that the previous frame had.How can I stop the actions from being carried over to the new frame?
I have a simple flash game with two frames at the moment.Most of the stuff that happens is in as files linked to different movie clips.I orignially only had one frame my background frame and when testing I just press ctl+enter and bamm away it goes the actionscript runs as soon as the movie/game starts and ergo the game plays.My problem is this, I now want to have a start/home frame at the beginning (of course) which has the start game button on which when clicked THEN starts the game.Currently the game starts in the first frame along with the start button.How do I stop the game running straight away and my first frame only contains the start button, which when clicked then goes to the 2nd frame and starts the game?
I have a xml gallery on one frame (each frame represents a webpage) and when i click on another frame the frames content appears but the xml gallery is still running on top of it, why how to stop the xml gallery running before going on another page. Is there like a stop function ?
the code in as3 i used for the gallery is as below:
var xml:XML = new XML(); var img_count:uint; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var img_holder:Sprite=new Sprite();
I have a function that draw rectangles from values in an array in a loop. I'd like to add a new function that just draw rectangels from the last value in the array. The problem is that the drawing keeps on playing. Where and how do I put a stop to it?
how to move from one frame to another (once clips complete their actions). I had previously posted some questions regarding this matter, but I think the post got too long and confusing (at least to myself).SO I'm starting over from scratch and want to go step by step so I can understand. I have a line clip on stage that I move down the screen and center and expand it at the same time to fit the width of the stage. Now I have this code for that:
I'm trying to stop an animation running that I've imported from an .SWF file.I've loaded it using the new URLRequest method, but now I can't seem to talk to it.Is it possible to Talk to it, or should I just leave it in the Library and pull it from there.
I want to be able to stop a function from running by the press of a button. Is there such an inbuilt function? Like "stop function(myFunction);" or something..?
I would like to know how to stop a running tween when rollingOver a sprite. I used to stop the tween on as2, but I don't know how to acces the running tween on as3 because of the var statement before the tween name.I guess the score is modifying the 2 lines:
over_handler1.stop(); over_handler2.stop();
My code is this one:
Code: function fc_hitOver(e:MouseEvent):void { var lastActive:String=e.target.name;[code]......
the think is; in the main timeline im on the frame 1 (animation stoped here), i want to pass to frame 2 but first i play a MC, who is an animation of a black square who covers all the movie that goes from transparent on his own frame 1 going to full opacity in frame 5 and then transparent again in frame 9. Well i want to pass from main frame 1 to frame 2 when the MC animation is exactly on his own frame 5
I am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class(the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game).
[Code]...
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.
whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!
