ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Tell A Script To Stop Running?
Mar 19, 2009
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 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 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'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]......
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.
I have a strange problem. When I run an exe projector that I exported from flash cs5.5, and on few of my client's computers it running very slow in full screen.When I running an swf file (not exe projector), also in full screen, it running well!I checked my clients computer hardware, and it match the system requirements of flash player.
I have a problem in Flash Site uploading.That is, i have created a flash site & in the dreamweaver i inserted the flash site as insert -> media -> Shockwave.The site is running inside the dreamweaver but when i publish it, flashsite is not running.
I thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tweenone) myTimer.start(); function tweenone (event:Event):void[code]...........
I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr
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.
How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.
as simple as it gets, right? Wrong, the preloader works however is get this error 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.
I've tried a couple dozen things to try and stop this movie clip, even down to the bare bones basics and its not working.I have an imported TIFF sequence that i imported onto the stage of a movie clip. Its 73 frames long, i want it to stop on frame 73.So i add the usual stop(); command but it doesn't stop, it keeps looping.On the main layer i put this movieclip in i have an AS layer that also has stop(); and moviclip.stop();But it doesn't stop at all. it just keeps repeating.I put it down to this bare basic setup just to see if i could even stop it. But its not stopping.Layers -> and stuffScene 1Content - movieclipMCActionScript - stop(); movieclipMC.stop();Movieclip - keyframes consisting of image sequence 1-73. frame 73 has stop();
var sjunkBomb:Array = new Array; for (var i:int = 0; i < sjunkBombMaxAntal; i++) { var bomb = new sjunkbomb;[code]....
Each movieclip sjunkBomb contains an animated movieclip. When the bombs reach the bottom I want to stop the inside animation.I guess it's better to stop them so they affect the rest of the game if there are a lot of bombs. I know how to hide them with sjunkBomb[x] .visible = false; but if I want to stop them? sjunkBomb[x].stop(); doesn't work!?
I have a movieclip that I want to be scaled to 400.After that I don�t want it to scale anymore.How can I stop it going back to it�s original value and scale again and again.I have the as in "On enter frame",I dont want a button to be pressed to start scaling.
