I'm looking for an AS2 tutorial or template that will show me how to create ONE button that will stop and resume an SWF file that is made up of several composited movieclip elements. I've found several that use two buttons (start and stop), but I would like one that operates like the single sound on/off buttons you see on many sites.

I currently have a 23-frame multilayered single-scene animation designed to loop continuously which I would like to add to my portfolio. As such, I am adding a Play button, which I would like to toggle to a Stop (or Pause) button. I currently have an instance of the Play button ("playButton") created.
(You can find this at pineboxmovingco.com/gear_redux.swf)
Besides imploring your assistance in providing the code, I must also ask if this requires (and best practice for) inserting an additional frame at the beginning for the ActionScript, as well as where/what layer to add an instance of the Stop button. I would like the movie to be stopped by default, presenting the Play button, toggling to the Stop button, and back to the Play button, each upon release.
When the movie loads, the music begins to play. I have a single Music On/Off button that can stop and restart the first track. However, whenever the user stops and then starts the music again, I'd like to alternate the track that plays.
As it stands now, only the the first track will play when the button is clicked (and when the movie loads, of course).
Code in action layer:
ActionScript Code:
var song = 1;
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();

I've got a fairly short little animation sequence that the folks here at my work would like to insert into one of our web pages on our site. It's a demo on how to use one of our products, so I'd like to add a few buttons so the user can pause and then resume the entire movie. There is absolutely no scripting applied to the FLA right now.
I've been working on another project that involves scripting some buttons with AS3, so I have some knowledge, but am still having a lot of difficulty,
so i need to make a play/pause button on my animation, i can use stop(); to stop the main timeline. i cna use intro.stop(); to stop a movieclip with the instance name intro that is placed on my timeline.
but can I stop every single movieclip (in all different levels) that are in my timeline?
if not, how can i stop movieclipA which is inside movieclipB which is on the main timeline?
Tell me is there a possibility to completely stop actionscript 3 code from running for a given time and then to resume?
View 1 RepliesI have many nested movieclips in different positions of the main timeline.
I have 2 buttons, play_btn and pause_btn.
I'd like when the user click pause_btn, the animations on the main timeline and in nested movieclips stop.
Whe he click play_btn the animations resume in both the main timeline and nested movieclips.
I have created array of nested movieclips on the main timeline.
var arr:Array = new Array(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_play_btn); pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_pause_btn);
function on_play_btn(e:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);

View 1 RepliesMy Original Post:I have been designing a visual presentation in Flash CS5, there are a few movie clips on the stage that are set to play at a certain time/frame. The problem I am having is that I am not familiar with coding/actions. I want to have a play and a pause button so I can pause at any point (not a specified frame) and discuss with the audience. Then I want to be able to click the play button to resume from that point (wherever I paused from). I hope to get help and be able to learn from your answers. I don't know how clear my question is, but I can clarify if you need me to... A Reply:you can stop/play any movieclip by using the movieclip's reference:

I like what the script below does but I need it to be extended in 2 ways and I can not figure how.this is what I would like this code to do...
1. play (ideally stream) sound automatically on entering the site.(right now the play button must be invoked, and it takes a little time to load.)
2. loop that same sound source
3. instead of stopping the sound I would prefer a pause.so more simply sound plays on entering site and I have ONE button (well 2 but changing visibilities) that control only pause and resume I have looked around quite a bit but can never find what I am looking for it would appear that everyones sound issues are so unique that no one has the exact issue that I do (well I am sure many do but I can't find the thread. ) and here is a link to what I have as of now
Code:
var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ax Mr .l..mp3");
var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();
thisSnd.load(loadSnd);

I'm loading an external .swf using the following code:
voiceover = new Sound ();voiceover.loadSound("Audio/Test.mp3", true);
The audio plays fine. My question is how can I create a pause, resume, rewind, or fast forward button for an external mp3?
Each time you go to another page the buttons flash white while having to reload. Is there any way around this?

I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.

View 4 RepliesI'm extremely new to Flash and I am making a website and want to have a single button that when pressed pauses or plays a music file. I was able to create one that works by following a tutorial that I found online but the problem is that the button is on the main timeline so as I move away from it, it stops working. I think that it would work better if I was able to make a movie clip out of the button so that it doesn't sit on the main timeline and will keep working no matter where I am on the timeline. All I need is one button that pauses and plays music when pressed. I also want to be able to have a "music on" line of text and "music off" line of text depending on whether the music is playing or not.
