I'm trying to pause a movie using a stop action. I'm using a button to do this. This is in the actionscripting attached to the button.
on (press) {
stop();
}
The button is in the main movie so I don't get why it's not working. I'm also trying to add a button next to it that would play the movie, after pausing it.
Initially I want to control a movie clip (play, pause) using two buttons. I placed a movie clip(square) and two buttons (btnPlay, btnPause) on the stage.and created Engine.as assigned to stage.
/// Engine.as ///
package {
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]...
The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
Can someone help me finding a tutorial or explain to me how I can make a image gallery where I can click next / prew button AND have a play / pause button? I have accomplished to make both but not in the same flash file. I believe I have search the whole internet and tried everything (but off course that's not really possible). I have learned to make at least 6 different types of image gallerys now, but none of them works with both next/prew AND play/pause.
View 2 RepliesI can do this in AS2 but am struggling in 3. I've got the Play/Pause working and toggling and the Stop button stopping but I can't get the Play/Pause to toggle when the Stop button is pushed.
Here's my code:
var isPlaying:Boolean;var soundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();var sound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("commercial.mp3"));xstop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickStop);xplay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlayPause);

I am having problems finding a site so I can put a play and rewind button on one of my flash intros.

I have a couple of movies to add controls to and the consist of a series of layers with classic tweened movie clips. There is a button layer set up along with all the buttons, and an AS3 layer set up. This is the initial code I set up on the AS3 layer first frame:
Code: Select allstop();
innercircle.stop();
go.AddEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startplaying);
function startplaying (event:MouseEvent):void {
play();
innercircle.play();
}
innercircle is a movie clip which runs throughout the entire movie, so that's why I picked it to use in the command above. When tested this should enable the play button to work, however it's not working and brings up this error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method AddEventListener through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Anyway, you see that the sound is on a seperate layer, with gotoandplay(1); or w/e on the end... so it indefinetely loops if left to it's own devices.
Now the actions for the play arrow button are:
[Code]....
Techincally, as to my VERY BASIC A/S knowledge, this should work right? I also tried instead of "on (release)" I tried "onClipEvent (mouseUp)"
I have 2 buttons (play and pause)...on my main movie. I would like for these 2 buttons to play and pause entire movie (different flash movies into 1).
On my play button I have mc = playbutton
And the as for this is the following:
Code:
on (release) {
play();
_root.pause._visible = true;
_root.playbutton._visible = false;
}
on my pause button I have mc = pause
and the as for this is the following:
Code:
on (release) {
stop();
_root.playbutton._visible = true;
_root.pause._visible = false;
}
On my 1st frame of my main movie I have the following as:
Code:
stop();
_root.playbutton._visible = true;
_root.pause._visible = false;
My problem is that when I upload this... and test it, its not working. I also tried by removing _root. to it, but it didn't work either. I need other .swf's to pause and play too when its called from the main movie where the buttons are.
I have a glitch in Video Player. Some times when I press play/pause the button switches but the command to pause/play doesn't run, or I guess it gets called twice and continues to play. I have an on enterframe monitor running on the video. My automatic assumption is to check whether the video is playing and have the button act accordingly. But suspect this may be even more buggy.

I am going out of my mind trying to get this to work. I can do it in AS2 without a hitch - but not AS3. I just need to load an external swf file into an empty movieclip. Then I have 2 buttons play and pause that need to be on the top layer of the new movie and they need to play and pause the loaded swf file. I have tried a number of things and nothing is working.
View 1 RepliesI created a simple flash movie for a client that loops 3 times. At the end of each revolution i want to add a button that will pause the main movie action and reveal a small pop-up for legal copy when the user rolls over it, then re-start the movie again once they roll off it - however, it will only do this when the user interacts with the button, if they don't touch it, the movie will continue through the 3 loops unimpeded. Side note: I cannot use pause and play buttons, it needs to be a simple rollover/rollout function.

How can I get the pause button to stop sounds and music, and the play button to start them up again? As of now, it only stops the animation, and lets the music continue.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a play, pause and stop btns controlling a mp3 file which is in the library which has a linkage id of Speakers. I've manage to get the pause and play to work but now incorporating a stop button isn't working for me
Code:
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.attachSound("Speakers");
btnHalt.onRelease = function() {
snd.stop();
} btnResume.onRelease = function() {
snd.start(snd.position / 1000);
} restartbtn.onRelease = function() {
snd.start();
}
To say basically if you have pressed the pause btn, then the play btn, play from state pause at, but if you have pressed the stop btn then pressed the play btn, play from start and also if the play btn has been pressed and the audio is playing if pressed again dont play again do nothing.
I'm trying to create an animation which involves play and pause buttons, i've tried following the tutorial but because my animation is on many different layers it won't work.
View 1 RepliesI want to do something that is probably very simple, but I'm having difficulty.
I want to create an audio player with play, stop, and pause buttons that I can then import into Fireworks/Dreamweaver.
I am making a simple radio interface and i have 6 preset buttons which i want to have play the specific preset button's song which is in the library and stop/pause the current song when any preset button is pressed.
i tried using the attachSound function, with associated identifiers but not sure if that is the right way to go. It plays the songs, but doesnt stop them.[code]...
I'm struggling with a script to make a simple audio player. I'm loading the audio externally, using loadMovie. I have three buttons on stage ("Stop","Play", and "Pause"). First two work nicely, problem is the third one. here are the actions for the three buttons:
STOP button - Working
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
audioContainer.unloadMovie(10);
}
[code]....
BTW, the external movie clip contains an audio track inside a movie clip. Any ideas how to make the thrid button to "pause" the audio?
add the pause/play button along with a previous & next button (those got messed up when I added to slideshow) for the Kirupa photo slideshow...
View 1 RepliesWe are using default CS5 skins with an flvplayback component built through action script 3. When playing certain videos (and only certain videos, however there isn't yet a pattern), the play/pause, stop & seek buttons are completely unresponsive. They don't change stats on hover & they are unclickable.However, the fullscreen button does always work, and upon going fullscreen and coming back out, the buttons now work again. So far, the problem was seemingly at its worst displaying a video that was encoded with Sorenson spark (an older codec) and we wondered if it had to do with the file itself, the headers, anything of that sort. But the fact that the skin and buttons work fine once entering and exiting fullscreen - that is perplexing.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to disable/enable the buttons in FLVPlayback component? I got a flv files loaded into a fla file and the swf file then loaded onto the main fla file which where I want to disable/enable the FLVPlayback button at certain time.
View 7 RepliesI want to know if there is a command or actionscript that will allow you to pause the movie automatically for like 30 seconds and then continue the movie after 30 seconds have passed, instead of adding alot of frames for about that add up to 30 secs. Just like the goto and play command.
View 2 RepliesI have created a flah player with no controls which loads an ecternal flash video. What the client wants is to be able to pause and play the movie by clicking on it. I have an FLVPlayback component with the name MyVideo. All the actionscript I have at the moment is the following
myVideo.contentPath = file;
myVideo.autoRewind = auto;
File is a variable passed by SWFObject, this is the filename of the external Flash Video. This is so they can use the player with an video. Auto is a parameter passed by SWFObject so they can set whether the movie auto rewinds or not.
