I cannot get the timeline to stop on the last frame - when but02 is pressed it goes back to the first frame. How do I prevent this? The button should be inactive on the last frame.[code]...

I'm loading external movie on frame 1 of the main timeline.
When that movie stops, I want the main playhead to jump to frame 2 of the main timeline.
What action do i put on the last frame of the loaded movie?
I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for. I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it's single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.
View 3 RepliesI have a piece of code like a the end of a timeline, most usually looping back to frame one or a stop() if I let the playhead play through to this frame then flash will freeze!

I'm working on an audio player with a scrubbable playhead, per Kenny Bellew's outstanding tutorials [URL]In order to learn the mechanics and test drive it, I was able to create a fully functional model in its own movie. Now I'm trying to apply it to an MC nested in a larger project and I'm having trouble.The main website (w/o the audio part installed) is [URL]A smaller version that only has the part I'm working on (for this question) is [URL]The songloading and play/pause/stop are working fine. (I'll be adding a song loading preloader later--the songs are dynamically loaded), but I can NOT get the playhead working completely. It will track the progress of the song, but if dragged, the song stops, the playhead snaps back into its original place, and the song stops for good (until re-loaded).
I'm just calling something incorrectly--the whole Audio section is in the _root.Audio MC, and the songs are loaded in to audioSong.
The code for the drag head:
------
onClipEvent (load) {
startPosition= _root.Audio.hslider._x; // hslider is the knob.
left = _root.Audio.hslider._x;
top = _root.Audio.hslider._y;

I want my animation to STOP when I press SPACE, and then PLAY when I press SHIFT. This needs to be in AS3. The only catch is that my whole animation is composed of 5 Scenes. I'm confused as to where I should add the code. I have it in a class and it still doesnt work. I tried putting it on the 1st frame on Scene 1.

View 1 Repliesto stop the playhead at a frame in a movieclip should AS3 use "MovieClip(this).stop();" rather than just "stop();" ?
the movieclip is nested within several others dynamically and therefore cannot easily be referenced directly from the stage, if that would be otherwise preferable...
I am trying to stop the playhead from within a movie clip and when I test the scene (the movieclip) it works but when I test the main timeline scene, it stops the frame within the movie clip but continues on the main timeline. On the frames that stop I am using a script that will allow it to continue when the space bar is pressed. How can I stop it on the main timeline, and within the movie clip at the same time?Is their a way to do something like _root.stop(); or something?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a website that should have music playing abilities. (Sounds cool that way lol). I have a music player MovieClip and in it, it has some actions. It is placed on a frame on the main timeline. I also have an actions layer that has some code controlling other contents of that page on the site.
The music player works fine but when I leave the frame which the music player is loaded on the main timeline, the music keeps playing. How do I stop it?
Is there a way to dynamically tell if the main timeline's (or a MovieClip's) playhead is moving or has stopped? I know I can manually set a boolean variable and then toggle it between true and false:

I created a menu of invisible movieclips (from a library item with the class name Invis) with buttonmode set to true so that I can have them send the playhead to different labels on the main timeline. I could use some help with determining which button is clicked and then placing code that executes depending on which button is clicked.
Here is what I have so far on frame 1 of my timeline:
This works - I get [object Invis]0,or [object Invis]1...etc in my output //window depending on which one I clicked. Just not sure what to do next
How do i tell the playhead to gotoAndStop(); on frame 2 of the main timeline from a class file?....I'm trying to oop this program.
View 2 RepliesI have been approached to design a configurator for a new television product. The Application will let users specify the colours of certain parts of the product and also attach addons, which then updates a cost total.
In the main interface i have a looping animation of the product slowly rotating around 360 degrees that i rendered in 3ds max. When a user clicks a button on the interface i need to load an external movieclip on top of the main animation so it looks as though a certain part has changed colour, this i have acheived. The problem is that when i load the external clip over the original, the loaded clip starts playing from frame 1 and i need it to inherit the playhead position of the main animation so the two layered pieces look as though they are rotating as one. I'm sure this must be possible, unless i need to approach the problem in a different way?
How to detect the MovieClip playhead that is in play() condition or stop() in one frame?
View 3 RepliesI 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.
my reverse button causes the timeline to ignore the stop() function on its keyframe and play backwards all the way to the start. Since it keeps trying to play the previous frame, it's frozen at frame 1.
Code:
stop()
// Reverse button //
var reverse:Boolean;
rev_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down );

i currently have my animation looping but i want to set it up so that one of the layers/animations on my timeline do NOT loop (just fly in once)... i tried adding a stop(); but it seems to stop everything that is moving instead of just the target timeline.

I'm making at quite big company presentation with slides (CS4). On some of the slides I'm using buttons with behaviors on the timeline - they are a all placed in the first frame of the related slide. I have a placed a stop(); in the first frame in every slide so I'm sure the timeline will not start playing. The problem is that it does. I runs one time and then it stops.
How can I make it stop the first time you go to the slide?
Basically im trying to stop sound playing from a timeline. My little swf plays and has music playing from a separate layer. and when i mouse down on it i have action script 3 that jumps to a dif frame and starts playing a new anim and sound layer. but the previous sound layer keeps playing to the end. Is there anyway to stop the sound layer playing at the same time that i jump to a new frame?
