I have a nested MC that functions as a continuous slider; when you mouse right of center it slides one way and when you mouse left of center it slides the opposite direction. Right at center it stops. The problem I have is that I'm using this as a menu at the bottom of a .swf and there are other places to mouse on the page, which means that this menu is constantly in motion even when it's not being used. I want it to stop when it isn't being used, only because it's an MC I can't use the onMouseOut command to stop the clip. I tried making a button that targets the clip and stops it when you roll over the button but it doesn't work.
Here's the script I'm currently using:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xcenter = 467.5;
speed = 1/25;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;

Im having trouble stopping or starting loaded swf files. I need to dynamically load the swf file but make sure it doesn�t play until the user requests it. The trouble is I wont know anything about the loading swf file (for example frame labels, if it has a 'stop' script in the first frame etc.) Ive attached a simplified version which I think illustrates the problem but the code is:
I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
I have a dial which I drag around a circle to give me a reading between 0 and 1.
Something like this:
dx = mouseX-centerX; dy = mouseY-centerY; rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
[Code]......
This work's great, except when the slider goes from 359 degrees to 1 degree, my value between 0 and 1 returns to zero. (Which makes sense, as the value is based on the angle of my slider)
I'm trying to find a way for the dial to move from 359 degrees to 361 and onwards basically.
In my head: I need to check if the next value of my mouse drag goes past the 360 degree point and add 360 to the total, to stop it returning to zero and continue to 361 degrees.
the proper code that I should use to scroll images like a slideshow but i want it to keep going like on this site [URL] I figure the script below but it makes it keep going on.
I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline?
I've set a music sound to play across three scenes in my movie. However, when the user clicks to enter the fourth scene, I'd like the music to stop. Simple enough.
Here's the problem...the fourth scene contains individual keyframes in the scene where I have separate voice overs for each frame. The user navs forward or backward among the scene's keyframes using arrow buttons for forward and backward. How can I have the voice over stop playing on frame 1 if the user clicks the arrow to go to frame 2 if the frame 1 sound isn't finished playing? Frame 1 plays out until finished, even if the user has clicked to go to frame 2.
Then, on return to the main scene where the general music file played, I'd like it to resume playing upon the user clicking 'return home.'
Incidentally, I set up my sound files to play on a soundtrack timeline.
I have placed an invisible button over the tweened animation, now here's my question:Whe i click on the invisible button the animation stops and when I click on it again, it restartsSo that's it really, can this be done? I know how to stop the animation by putting a stop in the action script, so I am looking for some actionscript that works on an alternative click method if I am making myself clear? Example:
I'm working on an assignment for a Flash Game Programming class (1 of 2) where I have to take a pre-made animation, add start and stop buttons to it, and use AS3 to make those buttons work. I got the buttons on the .fla, but I'm having a heck of a time stopping the animation using the stop button (I haven't even done the start button yet). This course is an independent study so I'm not being "taught" anything by the instructor. I have to find the answers myself. I've asked said instructor, my former AS instructor, and several computer lab monitors for help and we cannot get the animation to work correctly. There are compile errors that come up that really make no sense. This is my last resort in regards to this assignment!

Code: function onTimerStart(evt:TimerEvent):void { play(); }
Im using the flvplayback to put up a video in my swf. in my swf i also have several buttons. the thing i want to do is when i for example click a button i want to start playing the movie from 5 seconds in it and then stop the movie at for example 10 seconds in it. even if the video is 20 seconds long i want to be able to stop it automatically at 10 seconds in the movie. the start and stop should be controlled from the button..
i know how to start the movie at a specific time but i dont know how to stop it at a specific time.
I tried Making the song title as a button, and then I figured out how to make the song play by releasing the mouse button. This works great, however, when I click on the button numerous times, the song starts playing numerous times..
What I would like is to be able to click on my Song_btn once to start the song, and then click again on the Song.btn to stop the song.
or another option is to start the song with the Song_btn, and then some way to just let that song play through.
I have used the "stop all sounds" command when you navigate away from that songs particular page..
I have a simple tween that runs over 50 frames, there is no stop action so it loops, just what I want. I have placed an invisible button over the tweened animation, now here's my question: When I click on the invisible button the animation stops and when I click on it again, it restarts. So that's it really, can this be done? I know how to stop the animation by putting a stop in the action script, so I am looking for some actionscript that works on an alternative click method if I am making myself clear? Example: First click stops it, second click starts it, third click stops it fourth click starts it - this goes on forever.
I need to create a tall background, when the user clicks on a button the background will scroll up and down to the area that the user wants to go to. ( I　attach an image of how that might look like)
I have a wheel that starts, loops, and slows to a stop, using 3 separate tweens, which is functioning pretty well. The issue I'm having is the transition between the startup tween and the looping tween:
Visually, everything should be based on the duration of the looping tween. I played with the duration of the starting tween to get it close, but there's still a small jump. How can I set a target rotational velocity for the end of the startup tween, so it seamlessly blends in with the looping rotational velocity? Should I not be using a tween for this? I'd like to pass in a duration value to the looping tween to support different speeds....which would affect the startup as well.
I'm trying to do a little augmented reality. I'm using an action script to call a video and play it. The problem that I'm having is that the sound is starting the moment the window is open and the video plays with the marker is shown. I want the sound and video to only play when the marker is seen. I would like it to pause when the marker is removed and then resume where it left off when the marker is seen again. Here is a copy of my code if someone could look it over and tell me what I'm doing wrong. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just correct my mistake. I don't understand enough about coding for you to just say Netstream.pause() and netstream.resume. I don't know where to put that information in.
I have multiple movie clips on 4 labeled frames of my movie. The keyframes are as follows : People, Place, Portfolio, Possibilities
The buttons to go to each of these keyframes work, although because I have a movie (different for each keyframe) I cannot get the previous movie's audio to stop when I click to another keyframe.
Also, I cannot get the other movie to work once I am on the next page.
The movieclips are named- Btn2 -which is the movieclip that plays once clicked on the homepage. Btn3- which is the movieclip that is supposed to play once clicked (on the people page).
To see what I'm talking about- visit: [URL]
give it some time to load- then click the doorbell- let the movie play for a little bit then click on people...the door closes, but the sound continues.
and my aim ise to create a Slider which can change starting and ending of the graphic, it is like what is showing in figure 6 in this website and here the MXML codes;
Any simple script that one could add to a custom jQuery content slider that would make the slider stop while Flash content is being played inside? Or, alternatively, just make the slider stop while hovering the mouse over it?
i'm trying to achieve an effect in which a triangle movieclip (which expands and then dissolves) respawns itself continuously. I'm hoping to figure out how to tell flash to respawn a new instance of the 15-frame movieclip of the triangle, when the original clip hits frame 5. the next one would do the same, and so on and so forth.My research so far has led me to believe this has something to do with the 'addChild' function but i'm so far unsure of what to do with it
In the transitional stage to AS3, I have 2 MovieClips onstage both with a short animation in them. MovieClip2 has the stop(); on its first frame. When movieClip1 gets to the end of its timeline I want it to start movieClip2 playing. parent.movieClip2.gotoAndPlay(2); doesn't work. Do I need evenetlisteners or something?
I have an swf file on the homepage that is the intro followed a menu. When the user types the URL for the home page from an outside site, I need the entire flash file to play from frame 1, but if you have already seen it and then clicked around to subpages within the site and then want to go back to the home page , I want the movieclip to start from a specified keyframe.
I'm loading an animated mc from the library into a placeholder movie clip. It adds alright but the animation freezes(including the sound which is really annoying). Any ideas? This is the setup function and I was hoping to use something similar to add movies to the generic holding mc via buttons(and remove them from the generic mc with a removeChild). Anyway, here's the code for initializing that I'm using.[code]
My knowledge of actionscript >= 0. You have been warned. So I'm using the falling snow action found on the Kirupa website ([URL]), and I have everything working great, the snowflakes are drifting gorgeously down my movie, and I'm deliriously happy that something *works,* and then I realize that I want to make the snowflakes stop. Specifically on frame 433, when my new 'scene' begins. I tried a buncha different (probably pretty dumb) things, like stop();, movieclip.stop();, even re-typed the duplicatemovieclip script to read removemovieclip and adjusted the math accordingly. Needless to say, it was all in vain.
I've created an object (a person named jop) from a number of other symbols, and I've added the person to the stage manually (i.e. not via AS). One of the symbols, the mouth, has multiple frames, and I would like to stop it from playing at runtime. Here's what I tried:
[Code]...
What I don't understand is why flash sees the mouth as a DisplayObject and not a MovieClip, when I've definitely gone into its properties to make sure it was a MovieClip. It would make a nice shortcut if I were able to handle MovieClips this way, so I hope theres a way...otherwise I guess I'd have to add all the components of poor ol' jop to the stage at runtime to have access to them as movieclips.
I apologize for being a newbie. I have been trying to figure out how to reverse an EKG movieclip to go from right to left instead of the direction it is currently moving:
I am usinga Flash CS4 file using Actionscript 2.0 I have a movieclip and a button and a combobox next to it. When I click on the button btn I use sucessfully the code below to stop the movieclip
I need to create a movie (AS2) that the user can control forward and backward by a slider. Moreover the slider should be updated automatically by the movie timeline position.
