I'm making a game where if you hit something, an .swf appears over the game. During this time, I want the enemies to stop moving. The enemies are set up to move randomly onEnterFrame. I've tried deleting the onEnterFrame, but it doesn't appear to be working.

When I'm watching larger videos (> 15 min) on the internet via flashplayer or divx, after some minutes, the video quality begins to decrease (like the video starts lagging). When I now press the pause button and resume the playing after a short period of time, like 10 seconds, the video quality is again like normal for another couple of minutes, but then the video quality again decreases, so I have to pause again for some seconds.
My question is, from a software design point-of-view, why does the pausing stop the video from lagging? I thought it could be because the software gets time to refresh its caches, but I would be really interested in the correct answer.
I am having a problem restarting a function I have stopped using delete this.onEnterFrame a panel scrolls on the x based on mouse position. here is the code
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;[code]....
then on a button click I want the scrolling to stop and be able to be restarted on click from within a child movieclip.
I have a MC that follows the mouse. I want to do so the MC will smoothly/softly stop when i stop moving the mouse. Is it hard to code, And it would be very nice if someone could do some code for it
View 2 RepliesI have an interface set up with a tile list and a media player.
Based on the function I have below, the tile list loads and the media player begins to play the first video in the tile list. I want to change that in the function so nothing plays first, but only when the user clicks a thumnail in the tile list, is that possible from within this function?
// add Listener for item selection.myTileList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);
// Select the first video.myTileList.selectedIndex=0;
// Detect when new video is selected, and play itfunction

I have beginner's skills in AS3 and have been trying out a sample script in Flash CS5 to create an animation. The script works fine, but I am not sure how to give the user the ability to pause the animation by clicking on the screen and then resuming the animation by clicking again (if this toggling is even possible for a click event handler to do). Is there a way to pause/continue a function by clicking the player screen?

I have a hitTest function that keeps checking if two objects contact each other. I'm currently using the following code:
function checkOverlap():Void {
if(doorHit.hitTest(player)){[code]....
The message1 MC has a bunch of links that do stuff within the message1 MC, but because the interval keeps running it keeps resetting the message1 MC. Is there any way to pause the interval for as long as the player MC is in contact with the doorHit MC then unpause it when the two MCs are no longer touching? I've thought about making it so that message1 is already on the stage but outside the viewable area. The hitTest function would then move the message1 MC back and forth. But, I want to figure this out so I can also pause functions when the movie moves to a different frame then unpauses when it comes back to the frame with the hitTest. So, is there a way to make this work?

Im going to attatch the fla on here...I am also going to give you the script viewable here...im completely a beginner so i made my self notes
also this is not all my coding im just learning off of it to create my own project... What coding would i use to tell the mc to stop scrolling once it reaches a certain x coordinate? for example x=0 (left side of stage) or x= -484 which is when right side of picture is at right side of stage... and can i setup math for it to automatically determine the correct x coordinate (based off mc width) to stop at?? if there is easier scripting to do the same....fill me in
oh and x is off of the stage typically...this is panoramic pics im scrolling

I have a ball moving around the screen, position updated on ENTER_FRAME. My problem is that there is a considerable amount of flicker going on.

Currently I'm trying to make a basic game (using AS 2) but I'm having trouble getting the basic physics to behave. I have a ball which is supposed to fall until it touches the ground. It can also be dragged around the screen by the cursor.I want the ball to fall only if it isn't being held, but for some reason the condition isn't working properly. No matter how I structure the condition, the ball still falls even when it's being held (in fact I can move it from side to side, it is still being held even though it's falling downward).I've tried putting this on the ball to make it fall conditionally:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(hitTest(_root.ground1) == false){
