ActionScript 2.0 :: Add A Stop Action After The Preloader Hangs The Entire Movie
Jan 29, 2004
I have a slide show that's about 800k and I'm trying to add a preloader. I tried 6 different preloaders today including a smart clip I downloaded from Macromedia. It seems that when I add a stop action after the preloader this hangs the entire movie. I've uploaded a working example of the slideshow without a preloader and a link to the fla of my NON-working attempt to apply the smart clip preloader here I think I'm just putting the stop action in the wrong place but I can't figure it out..

My movie has several movie clips each on it's own layer. The main timeline is one frame long. How would I have my entire movie play twice and then stop?

I learned to play a movieclip a specified number of times then stop. I need to stop an entire .fla (or, it may become a scene, but for now it's the only content) after it loops TWO times only.The .fla has one frame containing graphics and text on separate layers and 4 movieclips on different layers. The movieclips have no actionscript in them right now. They are essentially tweens over staggered times.
In fact, right now there's no actionscript anywhere in this particular .fla.How can I play it two times then stop. Also, I need to be able to accomodate further stuff after this.. that is, the movie is not yet been completed..it was just a start, but it's only this part that *is* completed I need to loop twice.

I have a preloader on my flash website, however when it runs for its first time, the preloader will sometimes hang at a random spot, say at 27% or 50%. To continue, the user must refresh, and that second time around the page will load fully. It does not do this for every first run, it seems to be pretty random, but once it has happened to someone and they refresh through it, it won't happen again. Here is the preloader code:. Note, "bar" is the instance name for the bar object on the stage to represent how much is loaded.
Code:
stop();
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
var loaded:Number;
var percent:Number;
bar.addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, load_progress );
[Code] .....

Im using flash cs4 pro, designing a website. I put a stop action in the last frame of scene 1 (main page) in the main time line, and that works fine. We have a button in scene 1 that brings you to scene 2 (sub-page), this scene also has a stop function in the last frame because we want it to stop, until the user hits a button to bring them to the desired scene. Now, the stop action in scene 2 seems to work, for about 6 seconds, then it goes right back to scene 1, and LOOPS! through scene 1 and 2 repeatedly, as if the stop function on scene 1 was never there.The button that brings you to scene 2 has the following action
Code:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("2","1");
}
the last frame of scene 2 has only a stop action, as does the last frame of scene 1. Why does it loop even with a stop action there?

I have a simple movie clip that animates some text and a divider bar. The clip loops which is normal, I want to add a stop action to stop the loop.I have three layers; text, divider_bar, and actions. On the actions layer I placed stop(); on the last frame. This stops the movie clip just fine. But if I rewind and play it again the movie clips stays on the last frame and wont restart. I'm using Action script 2 and have even tried using as 3 with out any luck.

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.

I have a CS5 FLA file with AS 3.0 with the following code for the preloader:
var pct_load:int = Math.round(framesLoaded/totalFrames*100);
if (pct_load == 100) {
play();
[Code]....
The preloader is in the first four frames -- it's just the background photo, a graphic logo, and the loading numeral text.
Everything runs great the first time it's loaded; then if you refresh the page, the graphics in the first four preloader frames flash on the screen before the movie plays.

How does one make a preloader in AS 3.0 for THE ENTIRE swf?
I'm certainly generally familiar with making preloaders in Flash, yet with changes to the Flash environment in the last few years, my situation may not be so straight forward:
I have a very developed Flash 3.0 application where the timeline is not used in the traditional way, everything is Class based, and there are all kinds of assets in the library that are used dynamically.
This type of preloader is useless, because (I guess) that "this.loaderInfo" is associated to the timeline (which has nothing on it) [code]...

how do I add a preloader on for my entire movie, without using a Document class (ie, all code on the timeline), using AS3?

ive recently introduced myself to AS3, its starting to get a bit frustrating. it seems that when i put the preloader actions in the timeline, everything is fine, the stop(); commands work fine. BUT when it comes around to adding the navigation to the timeline as well (ive tried putting the code on a separate keyframe, ive tried various styles of code) the stop(); actions are completely ignored.

anyone can offer me a way of housing an XML return in a seperate object, so that the flash movie in question doesn't hang around waiting for the feed to come back.The problem is we have an asp app which is returning the status of about 1000 citrix terminals at once.... while this only takes 10-15 seconds to return, any kind of animated loader i build into the movie, stops playing while flash holds on the XML return, as the http response status never responds dead, but says "waiting" instead.Any kind of way of adding the XML load script as an object listener maybe...?

I have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.
I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.
When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the quality of a particular movie clip rather than the entire flash movie?
For example, say i wanted to start a drag of a movie clip. So when it started, the quality of that particular movie clip would be set to 'low' then when the drag is stopped it is set back to 'best'

I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?

i am creating a flash website, i have a preloader at the start of the site. My problem is that when i view it as it would be seen on a browser the preloader doesn't appear straight away. i have an image with the preloader (site logo) and is 182kb file size and am guessing that this picture needs to load first for the next action to happen. if htis is so, other then reducing the file size is there anyway to make the preloader appear straight away.

I have a script that I found on here posted by Salvador Marley.It is supposed to load these sub-menus (which are movieclips in the library, MC01, MC02, etc...) into an empty movieclip when certain links are clicked from the main menu.The code works for loading the movieclip from the library, and even switches the movieclip when I choose the next link all like it's supposed to do.However my problem is that it will play the sub-menu movieclip, but it will not stop at the end. It constantly loops. I have tried to put the stop command in several places throughout my entire .fla but it doesn't stop. The sub-menu's transitions just keep repeating over and over again. How do I get it to only play the sub-menu movieclip once and then stop? [code]

I'm making a very simple menu in Flash CS4 using AS3. I have a stop() action on the first frame of my scene, but it keeps getting ignored and looping the whole thing. The only other code is that telling the buttons to gotoAndStop on certain frames.[URL]...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = Math.random()*2+90;
this._y = Math.random()*2+60;
this._alpha = Math.random()*30+50;
}
It is applied to the movie clip. I am having trouble figuring out how to STOP to action. I want it to stop after 10 seconds. How do I do this?
