Is there a way to stop every nested mc animations as once. In other words, I would like to stop every existing playhead in my swf file with one button. Currently, I got on button stopping the main scene playhead, but it doesn't stop any nested mc animation.Here is what i got on my main scene action layer :
ActionScript Code:
_global.drapeau="1";
_global.stopPlay="play";

i have the flv on autoplay when the motion tween finishes but when i go to another part of the site the video is still playing and i can hear the audio.the video is on a movie billboard with no buttons to play or stop i dont want too use buttons to start & stop the flv,i would like it too auto start and stop when the user leaves the page.so i dont hear the Movi clip audio playing on other pages.if there is actionscript to auto stop the movie clip on exit to another page that would be ideal if anyone could post it.
View 8 Replieshow to prevent the mouse from moving over a movie clip, so that the movie clip in a sense has a boarder around it that stops the mouse from entering its area on the main stage.
View 1 RepliesQuite simply, I'm trying to loop a movieclip for 15 seconds then stop without having to keep re-animating the movieclip's content. I have a stop action on the main stage, but it only targets animation happening on the stage, and not the movie clip in question. The movie clip is on its own layer on the main stage and I have extended its duration to 360 frames (15 seconds at 24fps), knowing full well that a movieclip will loop indefinitely unless otherwise commanded. It will stop if I put a stop action on a layer inside the movieclip's timeline, but the animation itself is only 1 second, so extending the timeline and redoing the animation for 15 seconds would defeat the time saving point of having a looping movieclip on the stage in the first place.
This is Flash 101, and I thought I knew how to do this properly, but I was proven wrong again and again this past weekend.
I use FlashMX and made a basic flash movie with one movie clip. (movie clip contains frame by frame animation using images rendered at AE) How can I make the movie clip stop after a specified number of seconds? Client wants to be able to change the seconds when needed. So a text file along with swf file including number of seconds...?

View 2 RepliesI press a button and have an object (a movie clip) move onto the stage - that works ok.When that movie clip gets to a certain spot, I want it to stop - that works ok.I want to be able to press the button again and have it leave the stage - that works ok.Then if I press the button again, it will come back on the stage again - that works ok.when it stops on the stage, I want a part of it to animate just once. I've been trying to do this by putting a second movie clip inside of the first, but it won't work.
View 4 RepliesNote: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.
View 1 RepliesAnimation of the head that comes up with the crank on it is 15 frames long. The head stops at frame 15, and it begins to crank at frame 16. Do I make a keyframe at frame 16 of that still crank at its begininng position, double click it to get its own timeline, then import the other 7 images of the crank animation into this seperate timeline, animate its cycle, then go back to the main time line at frame 16 and it should play the cycle when the main timeline hits frame 16? What if I want the cycle to only crank once around and not loop? Then, what happens to this movie clip when frame 17, 18 20, 30 is playing? It takes say 2 seconds to play the crank animation so while the play head is going along after frame 16, and the crank is moving what is in its place on the main timeline after frame 16? Should I just put frames in for the length of the rest of the animation (brain and words coming out of the head)?
View 1 RepliesI am new to animating in flash and have come up against something I don't understand.I made a small 15 frame animation.I drew each of the 15 frames by hand.The animation will loop. that is if you play frames 1 to 15 and then jump back to 1 it seemlessly transitions back and can begin again.I want to convert these 15 frames into one element that I can add many times to the time line.Is there a way to do this?
I tried converting to a movieclip symbol but it only brought in one frameIf it only brings in one frame, what is the point of it being a movie clip?What is the best practice to make a self contained unit of these 15 frames so that I can reuse them?
I have web content with simple rollover animations. When someone rolls over the target a text box fades in. When they roll out it fades out.
How can I have a smooth transition if the user rolls out before the roll over animation ends (i.e. before it's faded all the way in) ?
when i add my animation to library movie clip goes far from center, why is this happening and how can i fix it?
View 5 RepliesI have a demo/spec file I'm working with (download the .fla here): [URL] I'd like to have a movie clip (FLV) start playing AFTER the animation stops playing. I know once I bring the clip in, I'll have to give it an instance name and reference it in AS, but I'm not just not sure exactly how to start. I feel like the whole timeline thing traps me up...
View 1 RepliesI've been working on this sort of sunset-like sequence inFlash. I've created a movie clip of a star that has a sort oftwinkle animation. It consists of 3 layers. What I want to do israndomize this animation so I can use the symbol spray tool to fillmy sky with twinkling stars. If I just to a "gotoAndPlay" repeat,they all twinkle at the same time, and this looks pretty stupid. My limited knowledge and experience with Actionscript tellsme that I need to define the animation as a function and use somesort of math randomizer to control when it plays?
View 2 RepliesI have an animated item on the main stage that was imported as a swf but it needed to be edited to fit the stage. I successfully edited each frame and the whole movie is running exactly as I'd pictured it. However, I was reading somewhere that to optimize the movie, keyframes and bitmaps and graphics take up more space and that it would be better to convert an animation to a movie clip. I had to edit each frame of my swf, so right now it's in 15 different key frames When I imported them, Flash turned each frame into a bitmap and then when I edited them for size they became graphics attached to those bitmaps, each as its own keyframe.

View 1 RepliesI have three small images on the stage in frame 1. I also have an invisible button symbol over one of the images and have given this button an instance name. On frame 2 there are the same three images but with a lower opacity level and also on this frame 2 is a movie clip instance containing an animation. I need an onRollover event connected to the button on frame 1 so that when the user rolls over it, the playhead jumps to frame two and shows the images and also plays the animation in the movie clip.
I've applied the following code to the button symbol on frame 1:
stop();
specialised_btn.onRollOver = function() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
and I've also put a stop action on the last frame of the animation within the movie clip in frame 1 so that it won't loop.
The problem is that when I test the movie, when you roll over the image on frame 1 it just continually loops between frames 1 and 2 - it doesn't play the animation on frame 2 as I thought it would.

Should I use Movie Clip or Graphic Symbols for Character Animation? What do people who make TV shows use. If I'm not planning on manipulating any symbols with ActionScript and I'm not using a symbol that requires it's own time line like a walk cycle, is there any reason to use movie clips symbols? If I put my animation on the web will it download noticeably faster if I use graphic symbols instead of movie clip symbols?

I want the animation (shooting star) to play at random times.
I created a movie clip symbol with a tween animation and created an instance of it on the main stage. The animation is in the movie clip timeline, not on the main timeline. I cannot get the mc to play using mc.play() or mc.gotoAndPlay.
View 7 RepliesFor example, I've created in Flash CS a movie clip CampfireMC, which contains child movie clip:
m_fire:FireMC
FireMC is an animation of flame CampfireMC controls playback of m_fire, for example, last frame of CampfireMC uses action code:
m_fire.gotoAndStop(m_fire.totalFrames)
And the question is how to replace (not delete/add, as m_fire.gotoAndStop(m_fire.totalFrames) will not work in this case) FireMC to another animation FireMC2?
I've tried the following trick, but it doesn't work
var campfire:CampfireMC = new CampfireMC();
campfire.m_fire = new FireMC2();
campfire.gotoAndPlay(0)
how to detect if an animation in a movie clip stops?I make myself clear:I have a movie clip with different animations which I call from the stage with mc.gotoAndPlay("frame label"). Being these animation one after another in the timeline I call a stop() function to avoid the animation after to begin without being called.
Now, on the stage I want to play one of these animations and when this stops I want to make something happen.Is there an event that tells me "this movie clip is not 'animating' anymore"?

I have a small tween animation, which i copied to AS3 code using the automatic feature in Flash CS3. the animation basically shifts a certain movie clip horizontally (only X axis) a few pixels. the line of cose which is responsible for this is: <Keyframe index="4" x="500"/> i wanted to make this animation slightly smarter. i want to have that code take the movie clip to a specific X coordinate no matter where it is on stage at the moment the animation is triggered.
for that i wrote the following code: var n:Number = work_btn.x - (-172.4); whereas work_btn is the instance name of the movie clip controlled by the code and -172.4 is the specific X coordinate i want the movie clip to go to when the animation is triggered. i figured that way, n stores the pixel distance between the current location of my movie clip and its final destination. now is there any way i can tell the code to move the movie clip by n amount of pixels?

When I play my animation in the Flash working file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any movie format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used within the animation. There are no extra frames in the timeline beyond what should be considered the last frame. Is there a setting or something I have overlooked that might cause that instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without appearing in the main timeline?
