I have a 30 second long animation (18fps). Movie symbol 135 frames long which loop 4 times using countTextField/if/else etc. and then gotoAndStop on a static frame. According to the company that are posting it on their site, the animation doesn't stop.
Are there any other ways of completely stopping an animation?
I'm trying to make an animation possible to play in two different ways. The first one is to play animation from beginning to end without stopping The second one is an interactive way - something like slideshow made in powerpoint. My idea was to use gotoAndPlay() function with stop() function. It doesn't work the way as I expect. For instance - I've one animation made of 500 frames. It makes up some 10 slides. If I put after every 50 frames stop() function then it's impossible to play this animation from beginning to end without stopping because of stop(). How to handle this? It would be nice if there was a function to indicate to play between some frames. For example, start playing from 1 until 50, then stop. Then start playing from 52 until 100 and stop .... then from 450 to 500. Besides that from 1 to 500.

Note: 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 RepliesI am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.

I have a character that is moving left and right across the screen. When it does there is a running animation that takes place from the idle animation to running, that part work but it does not go back to the idle animation when you release the left or right button.

View 2 RepliesI have 2 frames in an "enemy" movieclip, and frame 1 contains a movieclip with an idle animation, and frame 2 contains a movieclip with a throwing animation. I want it to play the throwing animation, and then go back to the idle animation. But all things I tried always make it loop. I tried around with if currentframes = totalframes and gotoAndStop etc but it doesn't want to work. I have my code in an actionscriptfile, however I also tried putting code on frames and it doesn't work.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on an assignment for a Flash Game Programming class (1 of 2) where I have to take a pre-made animation, add start and stop buttons to it, and use AS3 to make those buttons work. I got the buttons on the .fla, but I'm having a heck of a time stopping the animation using the stop button (I haven't even done the start button yet). This course is an independent study so I'm not being "taught" anything by the instructor. I have to find the answers myself. I've asked said instructor, my former AS instructor, and several computer lab monitors for help and we cannot get the animation to work correctly. There are compile errors that come up that really make no sense. This is my last resort in regards to this assignment!

I have an external .swf lib that I load using Loader class. I can get the content of it (images, text) using:
new (loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDef inition(symbol) as Class)();
Then I use it to load a .swf (that I generated using Flash CS3 trial) inside that .swf lib:
var mc:MovieClip = new (loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDef inition(symbol) as Class)();
I use addChild(mc) and the animation is displayed! So far so good, but the gotoAndStop, gotoAndPlay, stop and play, getting totalFrames, functions simply does not works!!!
i have a problem with a rollover animation stopping at it's 'on' state on release. i have a movie clip that fades text up from 0% at keyframe 1 to 100% at keyframe 10 and back down to 0% at keyframe 19. i have an invisible button above this with the following:

the visible bit is to turn off the invisible button on release. the problem is that with the following code, all that happens is the movie plays out from 11 on release. i want it to stop at keyframe 10 (where it is).

View 2 RepliesHow to load images in as3:Load them all at once, for example like this (pseudo as3 code):
for each (var url:String in images){
loader.load(url);

[code].....
This should be very simple: I want to fade-in a Movieclip (called MC1) using Actionscript.I normally use this (and it works just fine):
[AS]
this.MC1._alpha = 0;
this.MC1.onEnterFrame = function()
{
[code]....
Well, even though I can see the alpha values decreasing step by step (throughout the "trace" instruction), the fact is that the MC does not fade-in at all, it's just starts at a 100% alpha value.How comes this illogical behaviour? The instruction "trace" shows what it should do, but Flash does not fade it in.
I work for the NPS, and they have an outdated CMS. I have no rights to upload an .html file, or edit one that the CMS makes. SO, I am forced to use their little deal to display my .swf files. url...I made an eHike in as3 Flash CS4. It has two scenes, the first scene is the preload, second is splash content and ehike content. The problem is I cant get the preloader to display in IE. I have all actionscript content exported to the second frame, as talked about here:[code]I have tried many different ways to load the preloader.there is a simple text field for the percentage, and a simple 100 frame animation. preloader_mc.[code]The CMS lets you decide in the popup window if it is resizeable or not. This works in IE (stopping people from resizing), but not in firefox, people can resize it. Is there any way to disable the resize in AS3? Again, I understand that your supposed to export the .html file with these settings, but I have no permissions to upload or create new .html files.

I'm building a historical timeline app in Flash. The main feature will be an MC containing links to specific event in the history of an organization. The MC will scroll, and there will be a couple ways to scroll it. One type of navigation will be fwd/backward buttons, and I want them to work such that if the button is pressed and held, an MC containing links will scroll w/increasing speed (up to a limit), but if the button is clicked, it will just move the MC a specified amt.
An example of what I want to accomplish can be seen it this HP timeline: [URL]

I've been playing around with some simple test animations using Arrays in various ways. One of them consists of 15 squares and I want them to grow and shrink as I mouse over them. I've gotten it to work with both Tween and onEnterFrame, but for some reason it will not work with setInterval. It's something to do with clearInterval. When I pass the i value to a new square the previous one stops where it is instead of continuing to grow and shrink. Tween and onEnterFrame don't have that problem at all. I've attached two fla files. The one using onEnterFrame works just fine. The setInterval one really doesn't work at all.
