I followed the MovieClip Preloader tutorial and everything worked fine. The problem is the movie that I am loading keeps looping. Is there any way to stop this from looping? I used Flash CS5, AS2.Here is the code that I am using:
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");

MovieClip Preloader keeps looping movieI made a MovieClip preloader and everything workes fine.The problem is the movie that I am loading keeps looping.Is there any way to stop this from looping?I used Flash CS5, AS2. Here is the code that I am using:

Have used the preloader at [URL] and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually. Is there a way I can add something that will make the movie loop direct to frame two and miss the preloader?
View 1 RepliesI made a basic slideshow it's not interactive it just loops, each time it loops the preloader loops with it so you see it each time. How would I get rid of that preloader looping?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a looping SWF file that I uploaded on my website. It played perfectly until I decided to add a preloader.
I set up the Flash file with 2 Scenes, "Preloader" and "Scene 1" .The Preloader scene will play just fine. After the preloader plays, Scene 1 then begins to play as it should. However, once the animation ends, instead of looping like it did before, it just stops on the first frame.
How can I get my SWF to play the Preloader, and then continue looping the main animation (Scene 1)?
Here is my AS:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function update(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );

My latest Flash project is almost finished apart from one small but annoying thing. The first frame containing the preloader and no images keeps playing on loop with the rest of the movie, I just want the rest to loop and the preloader to disappear for good when it's finished doing it's preloader thing! I'm guessing there's some actionscript I have to put somewhere to stop the first frame playing on loop, I'm just not sure what or where. Here is the test page with the flash as header: [URL].

I am still a NooB to Flash, but did finally get to build a successful preloader (ahem). Now that I have that built, I was wondering if it is possible to loop a sound within the preloader 'scene'. This is what I have built for final production:cene 1: Diesel Startup SoundScene 2: Preloader movie, while main movie loads (w/ loopable diesel engine sound?)Scene 3: Sounds stop, plays 10 sec movie, then 'goes to url'Can anyone point me in a direction to see a preloader w/ looped sound, or a project that shows how to do this? Or, even better, show me how the code should look? I'm getting lost in code!

View 2 Replieshow to stop a single movie clip in flash and other movie clips still looping. I tried stop(); and myclipname.stop(); both are not working. I attached a simple file,
View 0 Repliestrying to make this file work, in Flash CS4, using AS2. First some info on my file. I have 2 movieclips, mc1 and mc2. mc1 is in the first frame in scene1, it plays out for 138 frames, after which the scene darkens for 15 frames and then mc2 starts playing.
The problem is that I cannot get the timeline to stop looping after it moves onto to mc2. I have tried everything, I have a stop function in the last frame, stop functions within mc2. I even tried a gotoandStop(mc2_Frameno). Nothing works. It still keeps looping. When I extended the mc1 layer to the complete extent of mc2 layer, then it did not loop. But I don't want that as it is causing undesirable effects on the screen.
All I want is to play mc1 and mc2 one after the other, with no breaks. After entering mc2, the timeline needs to stop once buttons are loaded in mc2. But after loading the buttons, it moves out of mc2 and starts playing the timeline again.
This is probably an easy fix, but I obviously can't get it. Below is the actionscript to loop my movie clip, but once it's activated, I can't get it to stop. I thought it would stop at 3. Flash 8 (CS2).
on (rollOver){
for (i=0; i<=3; ++i){
audio_mov.duplicateMovieClip("audio_mov" +ii);
}}
I have a movieclip that as the function as a container with another movieclip inside and a motion tween.
I only want the inside movieclip to "play" it's animation once and not play it again and again and..... How do I control this?
I've drawn a few shapes, converted each of them to a MovieClip, and then put them all in one parent MovieClip. How can I loop through them all so I don't need to do this:
Code:
parent.child1.height = parent.child2.height = parent.child3.height = 0
I'm very new to Flash and after searching for a solution to looping a layer I understand this is best done by creating a new Movie Clip and creating the animation to be looped here. I've done this, and then placed the Movie Clip into a layer on the Scene... but it just won't play at all. It acts like I've placed just the symbol that shows in frame 1 of the Movie Clip and it remains static.
View 3 RepliesI 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'm not sure when it started happening, but I believe after the update my movie keeps looping if I test the movie. This never happened before. I'm not sure what went wrong? I never changed my action script or anything. What can be my problem?
and my stop(); doesn't work
The movie is 12 frames long .I have an action placed in frame no. 11 which says :
if(_framesloaded = 12) {
gotoAndStop(12);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(10);
}
This means that if the movie is not loaded , it will loop between 10 and 11.I have a movie clip on frame no. 10 and frame 11 is empty, this means that , the movie clip (a square ) should blink .Also , the movie when its loaded stops at 11 rather than going to stop at frame no 12 as per the actionscript .
I have a movie clip in the library which is an animation of some 72 frames.
When I add it using addChild it loops, I would like it to play once then stop.
A stop() in the last frame of the movieclip does not seem to be executed.
My Flex app embeds (i.e., compiles in) another SWF's MovieClip, like so:
[Embed(source='assets/clips.swf', symbol='MyClip')]
private var MyClip:Class;
... and then uses an mx:Image tag to display it:
<mx:Image source="{MyClip}" width="300" height="100" />
... but the resulting clip loops forever. I want it to play only once and then stop.
The source clip has a stop() action defined in its final frame, but I suspect that script is being stripped out at compile time, so I'm wondering how I can tell the Image tag, or MyClip class somehow, that the clip should not loop continuously.
In AS2 - it was possible to declare a for in loop to trace out all of a movieclip's child instances like this:
Code: Select allfor(item in my_mc){
trace(item);
}
[code]....
When I want to loop through instance names like: "tile1", "tile2" etc. I use a code like this:
PHP Code:
for(var i=0;i<=10;i++){
this["tile"+i]._x=300;}
But when I put these MC's inside an MC (which I've named: "ground") for some reason this code:
PHP Code:
for(var i=0;i<=10;i++){
_root.ground.this["tile"+i]._x=300;}
doesn't work. Is there a way to loop through all the objects inside a movieclip without giving each one an instance name?
I am having a problem with a looping set of movie clips. The first pass, works as expected, but the second pass only shows the static (original) movieclip that all others were duplicated from.
myArrayXML.load("params.xml");
...bunch of code... this works fine the images come in from xml and do get loaded.
dup_insert = _root.magazine_env.duplicateMovieClip("Mag_insert_ "+i, getNextHighestDepth());
dup_insert.mag_insert.magazine_image.loadMovie(myA rray[i]);
--- however, the movieclip which calls the duplicated movie ---
play();
var myArray = _root.myArray;
var index:Number = this._name.split("_")[1].valueOf();[code].....
Works as long as it passes through the array one time. Once the array starts over and is calling for Mag_insert_1 it presents the original movie clip (everytime it's called). The trace shows the that the name is correctly incrementing, but it still does not show the proper image.Here is a url http:[url].....after the "soul food" image passes by it gets stuck on that image.I want to know what I need to do to get this to work (as in continuously loop).
I have a .flv movie file that I purchased from Istockphoto.com. I have placed it in my Flash CS3 file, and it works fine. However, once it plays, it loops back to the beginning, and I would prefer to loop it at the last 5 seconds of frames, so that it doesn't replay the entire video. Can this be done with Flash actionscripting or do I need to somehow do it in a video editor? Which wouldn't be ideal, as it would make a much larger file size.
View 1 RepliesI want to loop 5 movie clips so that one clip moves onto the stage, stays there for a certain time, then moves off the stage, then the next one.Here's what I've got so far:

I've created 5 different movie symbols that move a graphic symbol across the screen at various speeds. I want to create a movie that will play on continuous loop with the graphics moving across the screen with each symbol being generated in staggered time intervals. What I want to avoid is having the stage clear as each loop completes and the next one begins. I've tried to stagger by entering the start times of the movie symbols by entering them at different frames on the timeline, but as soon as the last frame plays, the whole screen clears.
View 4 RepliesI created a 30 second movie clip. I just want it to stop and display the last frame on the website.
How do I program AS3 to tell it to stop on the last frame and not loop? I don't want it to be blank though, I want the last frame to be visable.
I have been working on looping movies using cs3, but, I can't get it to work on a movie that was made using ASCS2, because of other coding in there, I assume. I am copying and pasting my code, exactly the way I have been using it, but it gets errors. Does anyone know the best way to create a loop in AS 2 so that the timeline repeats 3 times and stops.
View 6 RepliesI have set up a movie in which i have imported the music. the movie is about 1 min long and music about 3 min. I have imported the music--works great I have set up a mute/unmute button--works great But I want the movie to loop, but not the music. The movie loops naturally at frame 1, but the music starts again while playing the the music from the first loop.
