stop();
positions = [];

It basicly loads some pictures into movie clip holders and they stream horizontally across the bottom of a page.My problem is i cannot get them to continuously loop, at the moment they just cross the screen once then stop.
it isn't such a big problem bur for a beginner like me it is.I have a movie clip called "Lion_beginning_mc", inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.For example:Key Frame number 01 - DogKey Frame number 02 - CatKey Frame number 03 - MouseI want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.

I have created a looping movie clip which I want playing in the background of my main movie which has multiple scenes. Obviously I cant drop it on the timeline in each scene as then when it skips scenes the movie reloads and there is a jerk on the screen. Is there a piece of actionscript that I can point to my SWF and just have it looping throughout the whole movie?
View 2 RepliesI have very annoying and easy (I believe) problem with Macromedia Flash 8. My movie consists of 10 scenes. I wanted them to be played each after another (e.g. scene 1, scene 2, etc.).However, the scenes that consist of movie clips are just flashing and movie proceed to next scene. There is no problem with scenes that where done just in main timeline. I tried to put some action script on these movie clips like:
on (release) {
play ();
}
I have a two-frame movie clip, each frame has a stop() action.This movie clip, instanced "btn", is inside another which has one frame, also with a stop action. This second movie clip is instanced "ctrl".The file is called mcCtrl.flaFrom another file, which I consider my main movie, I am using the following to load mcCtrl.swf.[code]Everything works fine except that the "btn" movie clip keeps looping.

For this post, I'll first send the "combined" .fla file then I will post them apart to see if anyone can find a better way.
using flash 8 AS2. I was thinking if it was possible to create a waving moving banner, with some flags of countries moving across it. much like the example below. Is it possible I will create a simple rectangular banner, then animate it in the timeline with flowing flags of a few countries from left to right. then i wonder if actionscript can create a wavy perspective banner that flows from the left to right in a loop or full stop from the movieclip timeline looping forever in it? The red arrow shows how the banner will animate towards the right from the left.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to add x amount of movieclips to the stage with their own unique _x value. Also with each movie clip added i need to add an array with a smiler name. I tried this code.
Actionscript Code:
enemycount = 46;for (i=1; i<enemycount+1; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[0]; this.attachMovie("BrownFox", ["enemy"+i], 101, {_x:100, _y:219});}for (i=enemycount; i<51; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[1];}trace (this.enemy1._x);trace (this.currentenemy45);
under the attachmovie I have ["enemy"+1] but when i trace enemy1 it returns undefined. But when I put ["enemy"+1] it returns the _x value. also if I put _x: i * 5, I only see one movie clip so I have a feeling they all have the same _x and_y value. basically I wanna be able to add 2 enemys to the stage with out over lapping, and the option to add 50 with out too much over lapping (would like to avoid overlapping by also giving various y depths, between 200 and 250)
I have a movie clip (scrollBar) in my site that contains a line of other movie clips moving across the stage (scrollContent1-4). Only two of these are visible at a time, so I have lined them all up, repeated the first two at the end, and have the animation looping.
I want each of the scrollContent1-4 clips to be clickable. It's all fine on the first loop, but once the clip reaches the end and returns to frame 1 the clips are no longer clickable.
I have a movie clip, which is loading a portfolio. A movieclip holding the images drops down into the screen and then when the user clicks the return button within this movie clip, it dispatches an "end" event. In the main timeline, I have put in a gotoAndPlay(frameno); in response to the "end" event.
From this "frameno" the movie plays on and is supposed to come to a stop at the end of the timeline. The problem is that it is ignoring the last stop and jumping back to the first frame of the movie. Also, the stop I placed to let the user browse the images, and listen for the end event, is being ignored and the timeline is proceeding as normal and looping continously.[code]...
I have been having some trouble with a movie clip basically designed to act as a button for a store front for a website.This movie clip has, stored as the front of the movie (i.e. before you click in to edit the movie) the following code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Over");
}[code]..........
This gives the movie the hover over and out effect and animates the button so as once pressed the button expands to give a 'Product Details' view.However, when clicked the info shows up as it should but the hit area which I put into the Movie Clip is still on the info area so none of the contents on this new window are accessible and when the cursor leaves the designated info area the movie clip returns to its first stage as it would appear at the start of the animation.Is there any simple way to disable the HitArea on specific frames within a Movie Clip?
I have a .swf that loads into a movie clip in a Flash website. The .swf has all necessary stops to play once and stop once loaded. When tested outside of the movie clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I make this stop looping? (This only happenes to .swf that were made in CS4, doesn't happen with older .swfs that were made in Macromedia)
View 10 Replieshow to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.
Im making a game where you have a little dude you're walking around with using the arrow keyes. Now i have certain underwater scenes and here i thought it would be nice to add a little movie clip of air bubbles coming out of the dudes mouth.
So i have the movie clip with the animated bubbles laying in the same frame as the scene (where the dude will walk around). Im looking for a script that makes it so that as soon you enter the scene the "bubbles" movieclip will "attach" itself to the "man" movieclip. (Or atleast follow it around)
I dont want to modify the man clip itself with bubbles since then the bubbles will interfere with some hittest i have (and just want the bubbles to be aesthetic)
ive created a character loop for two characters that are in a walk cycle. when a button is pressed both characters change animation, now ONE of the characters is doing what i want it to, which is, change from walk to aim, then back to walk. but the other character is going from one animation to the second, and then just continuing to loop the second animation.

I have to make a banner ad for my company's website that is 4 frames. It needs to play each frame about 3-4 seconds and then loop after 4th frame and continuously do so. It needs to begin this process when the web page is brought up without the user doing anything to it (so no clicking)And I have to keep it under 40k.I've found alot of tutorials for using external swf files and images but everything seems to use a button and I can't seem to get the coding down at all.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a project which there are two .swf file play side by side simultaneously. I need to use one of the file to control the animation in another file.
If they are in same .swf it should be easy. I can just use:
gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
but there are two .swf now. (lets say movieA and movieB) I think I should use something like:
"LinkToMovieB".gotoAndPlay("frameNumber")
"LinkToMovieB" should be the link to movie clip in the movieB file.
my problem is how do I get the link to movie B's movie clip. or there is other proper way to do this task.
How can you take a video clip and keep it looping in the background while you place other conten over it?

I'm using a square shaped container (content_holder) to load movie clips which have a lot of animations spilling off the stage.In my container I have a mask which fixes this so all you see is the content within the square.PROBLEM: The width and height of content_holder is not accurate, as it also counts the overflowing animation which is MASKED. As a result this messes with my ability to center and manipulate the clip because its width/height is constantly changing.
QUESTION: Is there a simple way to load a movieclip into a container and LOCK its dimensions to a specific size? So the width is always fixed to the container's OR prevent the masked content from adding to the clip's width & height values?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
