I made a movieclip with 5 frames inside. Well, outside, when i push a button stop, runs the code: this.movieclip_name.stop(); , but, doesn't stop.Inside these frames there is a enterframe function that call drawing api functions.
View 1 RepliesI've tried a couple dozen things to try and stop this movie clip, even down to the bare bones basics and its not working.I have an imported TIFF sequence that i imported onto the stage of a movie clip. Its 73 frames long, i want it to stop on frame 73.So i add the usual stop(); command but it doesn't stop, it keeps looping.On the main layer i put this movieclip in i have an AS layer that also has stop(); and moviclip.stop();But it doesn't stop at all. it just keeps repeating.I put it down to this bare basic setup just to see if i could even stop it. But its not stopping.Layers -> and stuffScene 1Content - movieclipMCActionScript - stop(); movieclipMC.stop();Movieclip - keyframes consisting of image sequence 1-73. frame 73 has stop();

View 9 RepliesI'm still finding my way around even the simplest things in Actionscript. I have a movieclip named 'leaf9' in which I'm using as a button (which happens to be within another movieclip). I have the following actionscript on the frame which contains 'leaf9':
[AS]
leaf9.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("rollover");[code].....
What I want is for all the other functions to go away once "shrink" has started to play, so that if the mouse goes over the button again, the clip doesn't start playing "rollover" etc etc. So how do I stop all the other functions from playing once the .onRelease function has started?

I'm trying to make a little Flash Movie which randomly displays 3D cubes on the screen.
I've got a scene which consists of an array of shapes, each of which extends a basic shape class.
Then the camera has an array of shapes which it calls a scene.
You call the drawing method like this: camera_x.showScene(myScene);
The problem I have is that if there's more than one item in the scene array only one gets drawn. It's like the biggest thing is hiding all the rest.
This code is from a drawing board, the problem is:
1- When you click outside the drawing area, a dot is drawn (thus you cant click anything except inside drawing area because it will result in undesired dots)
2- When you drag outside the drawing area the dot is drawn (bad), the pencil doesn't draw (good), but if you drag until reaching the drawing area draws (undesired, because it should only draw when you started to drag from inside the drawing area) how to tweak the code or simple add a "deselect" tool option ? That's a link to the fla file ziped, and that's the code of the drawing board: [URL]
