I cannot get the clearInterval command to work. I have a panel that is tweening down into the stage about 4 seconds after the movie loads and then I do not want it to happen again. Right now the panel continues to tween in everytime I close it. Right now, the clearInterval is not working.
var down:Boolean;
var currentInterval:Number;
down=false;

I'm having an issue with setInterval/clearInterval when it comes to dealing with objects. Take this example:
[Code]...
Why does clearInterval not stop the interval? Does clearInterval not work when called inside a setInterval? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to delete the interval when it reaches a certain count?
I typed the following code two ways... one has the word "new" and one doesnt... the one with the word "new" completely ignores the clearInterval() call... however when the code is run without the word "new" it behaves as I expected- with the interval terminating in the first call of the function. why the inclusion of the word new causes the clearInterval not to work?
myInterval = new setInterval(myFunction,100);
function myFunction(){
trace("hello");
clearInterval(myInterval);
}
I am trying to get a handle on the setTimeout command and I can't seem to get it to function at all. As a test I set up a simple movie where two objects fade in, one after the other. But whatever I try, they both fade in together.
Code:
_global.setTimeout()
stop();
onLoad = function(){
box1_mc._alpha = 0;
box2_mc._alpha = 0;
[Code] .....
I checked out a lot of sites but can't figure out how to do this. without the mask my animation of a button growing bigger works well, the stop command is respected. But i want an image inside the form of the button that grows larger, so i took a picture on a layer below it, and made the button into a mask. visually, it works fine, but it loops, since the layer in mask mode doesn't respect the stop ();
View 1 RepliesI have several buttons in my Flash file that direct to an external URL with the openUrl command. That always works. However, in some cases I used _self to open the new URL in the same tab, and in other I used _blank to open it in a new tab, but that doesn't work consistently. Sometimes the one labeled _blank opens the URL in the same tab, and vice versa. Is there another way to define whether I want the new URL to open in a new tab or not?
View 2 RepliesI am using CS3 actionscript 2. I am having trouble with the preloader. It works, but it is causing the stop commands throughout the rest of the movie to not work.

Now the photographer would also like to have a next/previous arrow buttons so the user can click through like a slide show. Is there a way to have Flash know what movie is currently loaded and based on that information go to the next or previous?
How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?
Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.
popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
[code]....
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).

I use an interval to verify when someone scales the browser when tweening, afterwards it shows correctly.The problem is that sometimes the clearInterval doesn't work It always happens after a while when I click next or prev too fast Also bothering is just before the bug, the image scales to very small (sometimes)

function sizeInterval2 ()

loaderback._width = containerMC._width + 10
loaderback._height = containerMC._height + 10

can any of you point out if this code is wrong or do I have a bug in my Flash? It's sopposed to be a simple move function, called by an interval, and after reaching the border of the film, it's sopposed to stop. pretty simple, right? right, but theHere's the code I've used: (mcBall = 1 framed movieClip)
_root.onEnterFrame = function()

I just created an image gallery that displays 3 images at a time. For some reason, it works (for the most part) in Opera, but it doesn't display the images properly in IE.
img1, img2,and img3 are blank movie clips that hold each of the photos. The links to the photos are retrieved from XML, and are displayed in a random order. The first picture shows how it looks in IE, and the 2nd is in Opera. It also seems that the clearInterval() function isn't working like it should. Once the pictures are loaded, they are resized using the resizeMe() function (called by setInterval) to fit in the rectangle.
IE: Opera:
Code:
img1._alpha = 0;
img2._alpha = 0;[code].....
I have a project that requires around 20 external swfs. All of these swfs get called into a _root via XML. Each swf (contains a video swf and some graphics/text) has a progress bar and a playhead that is monitored by using a setInterval(). Once the progress bar is complete, the interval gets cleared.
However, if a user wants to watch a new video before the progress bar gets cleared, the video swf won't load, although all the text and static graphics that are in the swf file will. I think it may be an issue of the interval not clearing, because if the progress bar is completely downloaded and then a new swf is chosen, the video swf loads fine. Can I use clearInterval() from the _root of my movie to clear the setInterval from my external swf?
PS -- I tried to solve this issue by using removeMovieClip() in my _root, and that worked really well on everything but IE 5.2 for Mac?
I am using setInterval to call a function which itself creates intervals to call a second function..My issue is with the second interval in function1 'var b'. I am trying to use clearInterval(b) under certain conditions to stop each interval. This works when I have a 'single' interval created (i.e function 1 is only called once) but as soon as it is called more than once, I get errors.simple eg below
Code:
var b:uint;
var a = setInterval(function1, 1000);[code]....
I actually solved this by creating a 'counter variable' which is passed to function2, and just used clearInterval(counter), counter++; to clear each interval.My issue with this solution is having to keep track of what number interval im up to 'manually'.. and if i create more intervals later on Im worried about 'loosing count' and having to keep track.. and would rather reference the var name itself if possible?
I've tried to compare my counter var to the value of the interval via a trace, and they appear to be the same. So I dont understand why clear(a) and clear(counter) dont give me equivalent results.
i was wondering if someone could pls help me to code the setInterval/clearInterval functions in a cleaner way?

I'm using a version of XML Slideshow Photogallery that loads slideshow.swf (and other pages) into master.swf. It plays good the first time through and when I trace myInterval, I can see it increment 1,2,3 ... with each slide. When I go to another page and then come back to the slideshow - the myInterval will skip a couple or I get 2 values at the same time. This causes the slideshow to display every other image (or every 3, etc). I can see that the problem is from not clearing the myInterval variable properly. The clearInterval(myInterval); function seems to just clear the last instance created. Is there a way to clear all instances?

View 1 RepliesI'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.

I have created a SWF file that streams an FLV file.What I would like to do, is have an actionscript command activate AFTER the FLV has played to the end of the movie.
View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash and working with a site template that uses a xml data file. In the animation there are a couple of 'read more' links that when pressed, the movie animates to a read more screen with basic info depending on which it is (read more 1, read more 2, ...) In Flash I have added an image on one of the main pages and I would like it to link to the same readmore just as one of the text links does.
The xml has the following line for editing the text, so I see how it is calling the readme page with asfunction, but I have no idea how to use actionscript (or behaviors?) within the flash document to mimic this with an image as the link. I am guessing its something simple but I have yet to stumble upon it.[code]...
