I need to loop an flv in the background of my flash movie. I don't normally work with video a lot so I don't know much beyond using the general video player and customizing skins. Everything I'm looking at is either for a standalone player or using AS3. I'm on CS3 using AS 2.
View 1 Repliesagain fixed, now all i need to know is how to pause the background, and then have it continue playing when the "aim" animation is finished.
heres the AS2.0 of the actions: // set counter
counter = 0;
fire_button.onRelease = function(){

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've got this space background image that you can move around with the arrow keys. What I'm trying to accomplish is kind of hard to explain so I'll just give an example...
First, look at the SWF and move the background in any direction. You'll notice that the actual image is pretty small, just barely bigger than the stage itself. I want to make a script that will create duplicates of this image and place those duplicates in the right place so that you will never see the empty white space.
Ok, so say you hold down the right arrow key.. and the image moves left. Once the right edge of the space graphic touches the right edge of the stage, i want a duplicate of the picture placed so that the left edge meets the right edge of the original graphic. Keep holding right, and eventually the original graphic will be pushed off the stage. I'd then like for that graphic to be removed, and for the whole process to repeat itself while moving the picture.
I am trying to get a loop repeating as background noise I have implemented this within an MC on maintime line.
Code:
myLoop = new Sound;
myLoop.setVolume(80);
myLoop.attachSound("final");
myLoop.start(0 ,99);
var pos:Number;/////user interface below
By me starting loop at 0, playing back 99 shouldnt that loop it endlessly? However it stops after first play.
I am making a cloud background continuously loop using actionscript, however the image cuts itself off. I was following the tutorial at: [URL]. I attached a picture of what it looks like. Here's my code(very similar to above websites code)
Code:
animator = createEmptyMovieClip('animator',1);
bg_1 = animator.attachMovie('cloudsMC','bg_1',1);
bg_2 = animator.attachMovie('cloudsMC','bg_2',2);
bg_1._x = -bg_1._width/2;
bg_2._x = bg_2._width/2;
[Code] .....
This code is all in a movieclip named bg_mc. The width of cloudsMC is 1500 px. Why the image cuts off as it scrolls to the left?

View 4 RepliesI'm SO new to scripting. I find it all a bit daunting I have a Flash movie that runs for about 300 frames, then I'd like it to run backwards once it's reached the last frame, then play again from the beginning, and loop from there.
So really forward end frame reverse loop play again (loop) Is there an easy way to script this? I think I can figure out the first frame, but what would one put at the last frame?
How would I go about using a timer to initiate multiple movie clips at once, and then loop them if they are all different lengths so that they restart in sync once more?
For example, say at t=0, 3 movie clips are started. Movie clip 1 is 3 seconds long. Movie clip 2 is 6 seconds long. Movie clip 3 is 10 seconds long. Movie clip 1 would end before movie clip 2 and 3, but I don't want it to restart until the others are both finished.
Furthermore, is it possible to set a countdown so that the the movie clips are initiated not after a duration, but after a specific time? For example, instead of having a timer countdown from 10 seconds and then playing, it instead countdowns until say 12:00 PM and then plays the movie clip.
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.

I've designed a Flash site in CS3 using Action Script 2.0 that has a main flash movie sorta floating in space over a gradient background. I want the gradient background to re-size with the browser, so I thought that the easiest way to do this would be to delete the gradient background in Flash and instead recreate the background in Dreamweaver using the repeat background option and then make the Flash movie's background transparent. (I hope I'm making some amount of sense here).
I've found a few tutorials on how to do this, but so far I just get a white background instead of transparent. I've tried choosing "Transparent - Windowless" under Window Mode on the HTML tab in Publish Settings. And I've tried selecting the movie from within DW and clicking the parameter button and adding a "wmode" parameter with "transparent" as its value.
On very slow machines (>p200Mhz) I sometimes get an error that says "A script in the movie is causing macromedia flash player 6 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" Yes, No.
I have a loop function that populates a listbox, sometimes the file it loops from is over 2000 lines, and takes a long time for the listbox to populate. In this time I get the error. If I hit No on the error everything works just fine. I am almost for sure there is no problem with my script, flash just thinks the loop is set to infinity or something and pops open the error box.
Is there any way how to add a movie while i can place an animated text on different layer while the movie is running...

I've been trying to get it to loop after it finishes playing, but it doesn't seem to work even with the "loop" parameter set to "true."

The problem is, when I specify where the background movie should start (which would be where it moves to when you click home) it moves off to the same place as soon as the movie is loaded...When home is clicked, it goes to the right place.. And I can see the movie is loading in the right place, but then it promptly moves off to the side, but if you click on home again, it moves straight back and stays there, as it should...
