i want to loop a movie clip i have (an swf from swift 3d).i want it to spin 4 times, then stop . (using actionscript). [maybe even switch it with another movie clip, or a button or whatever.i have NO idea how to do this. i think maybe using a loop of some sort.

I want to loop a movie clip a different number of times depending on conditions in an if else statement i tried using a counter like this

Does anyone know how 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.
How do I get the movie to loop a specify amount of times.I want the movie to loop 3 times only.

View 2 RepliesI have this animated block that I want to use multiple times in a scene. Everything looks fine until I move the background(separate layer) with a tween. The second it moves it shows only one animating block instead of 4. Also, if I click on "show this layer only" it only shows the one block.So how can I use this movie clip multiple times?
View 4 RepliesI want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.
View 6 RepliesI am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

View 2 RepliesSo I have created a button and am trying to program the button to start my movie clip of a metronome. I am able to have the movie clip not going, but when I press my start button, the move does one click and does not loopAlso, how do you change the "label" of a button. I have changed it to "start" on the stage and it shows up like that on the screen, but when I view the final scene the button's text says "label"

View 3 Repliesi have a main menu that when you roll over the shop button, a sub menu will appear beside it.this sub menu is a movie clip namely;shopSUB.
shopSUB is animated and when i load it on the stage it loops again and again. and so, how will i make it loop only for once?
what I'm trying to do is have a mc play continuously either forward or backward depending on whether you roll over the "forward" or "reverse" buttons..I've almost got it there, except I can't figure out how to get the reverse to loop after it gets back to the beginning of the animation.

I know that a movie clip is supposed to loop by default, but mine seems to only go through the code once. Here is my code:
[Code]...
This code is supposed to check server time every second and once the server time passes the end time (stored in a global variable) it should go to a different frame. I've created a variable cd_time for testing purposes which displays current server time on the screen. I would expect it to change every second, but it only displays current time when it loads and does not refresh after.
I would like to loop a movie clip forward and reverse by selecting a forward or reverse button. I found the following actions script 3 code on Adobe however the code which plays the mc in reverse is not triggered by a button.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI want to have an array that loops my movie clips.However, there also needs to be the ability for the loop to stop and play a specific movie clip when a specific thumbnail that corresponds to that clip is clicked on.Then, when that movie is done playing, the array is accessed again and the array continues once again, also looping.I don't even know if this is possible.I set up something that worked in Flash Catalyst, but the only problem is that FC doesn't have the ability to have a fullscreen button in it for the document.I need to be able to have the entire document go fullscreen when a button is pressed.I do not have Flash Builder.[code]
View 3 RepliesActionScript Code:
for(i = 1; i <= 27; i++){
this["build" + i].onPress = function(){
buildMenu._x += 380;
}
}
I have 27 buttons on a menu generated by a for loop. When the button is clicked it moves the menu +380 pixels. Now to shorten my code I moved the buttons inside the menu movieclip. Intance name: "buildMenu"
This means I only have to move the menu rather than the menu plus each individual button.
The code below works fine but I don't want to have to write this 27 times as each button will be calling much more than just "buildMenu._x += 380;"
ActionScript Code:
buildMenu.build1.onPress = function(){
buildMenu._x += 380;

I'm stuck on combing the this["build" + i]" with the menu movieclip instance "buildMenu"
I have a movie clip and I wanted to play until a specific frame for 1 time and I want a loop sequence for the rest of the frames. I managed to do it in flash combining 2 movie clips but I was wondering if and How I could do it with a code!
View 3 RepliesI have this problem since many weeks ago, I can't figure out how to resolve it. My partial code is:
function checkCollision(rect) {
for(j=0; j < drop.length; j++) {
temp2 = eval(drop[j]);
[Code].....
I send to the function a movie clip that I use for drag and drop, so when I drop this function is called. The problem is that of the three rectangles that I use for contain the others, only the last senses the drop target.
