I need to loop the animation, its a simple loop but i have confused me in this code and cant solve it.
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
View 1 Repliesso I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

How would you get an animation to loop with a delay in between using AS3?
View 1 RepliesIm an Industrial Design student that has never really used any Flash before but need to use it now to mock up an interface design for a product/service I'm developing for my major project.
So far, in ActionScript 2.0, I have a picture of a TV and remote control and intend to design the interface over the top of the television picture and highlight buttons on the remote beside it, that the moderator can click to navigate around it.
To get across the idea that the interface pops up over the existing moving television picture I have imported an FLV of some television ads. My problem is that I want the Flash animation (everything but the FLV if you like) to pause and not loop, and the FLV to continue playing (and looping) in the background, but can't figure out how to do it. Ideally the FLV needs to continue playing, seamlessly behind the interface after the next button is clicked etc.
Wherever I seem to put a stop(); action it'll stop everything, including the FLV, and if I just extend the timeframe to the length of the video, it'll still stop at the end or just loop to the beginning of the entire SWF.
I have a logo which animates one time and stops. What I would like is, it should loop every 5 seconds interval. The following is the action scipt 3 written in the flash document.
var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);
l.load(new URLRequest("MyLogo.swf"));l.x = 100;l.y = 100;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);

I'm new to flash and this is my first animation... I'm making it in CS5 using AS2 and it features a snail with a movement loop. The loop is in the library as a movie clip, it has 3 layers and is 19 frames long. Because it is a snail in the loop it ends in a different place then it started. The snail has to move along 97 frames after each movement. I thought I could do this within the movie clip using some actionscript on frame 1 but I haven't really got to grips with actionscript so I was wondering how I should go about moving it every time the loop restarts.
View 2 RepliesI am producing a banner ad and I need to have this 15 second animation loop two times (for a total of 30 seconds) and then stop. If this does call for AS?
View 3 RepliesI've been using the Adobe CS5 collection for nearly a year now but today is the first day I've decided to give Flash Professional a go.I'd tried creating a looping animation in Flash Catalyst but have had no luck at all (I'd followed a couple of suggestions such as using an flv movie as a timer but nothing seems to work for some reason), so I thought I would do it the proper way in Flash Professional.So far I have figured out how to import images, convert them to symbols,create a motion tween with key frames and do the animation. All this is good, but now I want the animation to jump back to a few seconds after the movie begins and play until the end,then jump back to that point again.Basically when the animation first starts it fades in for a half second or so,and went I want it to loop around I want this fade in missed out.
View 4 Repliesok so im having an issue with Flash CS5.I have a sound looping, and my animation is only 13 frames long, while the song is like a minute long, so each time the animation loops threw the default "Loop Playback" a new sound audio is played which os overlapping the previous over and over causing a massive echo effect.Whats the best way to loop both of them insync, or atleast copy and paste the animations frames and make it the length of the song?

The running result is also wrong. how should I make this animation in the loop?
Im trying to pause a loop in my flash animation. I have been trying bunch of codes nothing seems to work.
I have an actions layer.
The animation is 15 seconds. I will extend it to 30 seconds but i want few seconds pause between the 2 loop starts.
I'm a bit stuck but think this should be a fairly easy problem to fix.I have arranged some movieclip instances on the stage (_root) at author-time and would like to hold them in an array. I can't seem to get the loop at the end of this script to workBasically what want to end up with is a load in animation, by setting the array's visibilty to false initially, then looping through a function to set each indexes visibilty to true, with a setInterval variable so that it dosen't happen too quickly. From there I could add a tween to the loop and fade the array instances in one by one.
shapes = _root["eye1","eye2","nose1","dots1","lips1"];
trace(shapes);
//apply some properties to the array

I am using the TweenLite engine and i was wondering how to loop/ start over the animation??
View 3 Repliesi have this ongoing thing with thumbs being loaded via xml in a forloop.
I have white backgrounds behind every thumb. Now I want some movement with the backgrounds easing in to their positions.
function ScreenprintsLoad(screenprints_xml) {
var screenprintsThumbs = screenprints_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
maincontent.createEmptyMovieClip("holder",1);

how would I start this, I have a simple AS ease function that I could put in. Im just confused how to integrate it into this loop. Also how would I have the thumbs consecutively tween in?
I have Flash CS4 but I decided to use Actionscript 1/2 for this file. I am a beginner at using ActionscriptI need my file to loop back to frame 110 on mouseover. Also, the animationshould not loop or stop until the animation is over. What is the actionscript code for this?I already added a stop(); command at the last frame of one layer so it won't loop)
View 1 RepliesI converted a short (96 frame) animation from QT to FLV format and I'm able to instance this onto the stage. How do you infinitely loop the animation? It executes through one iteration, and then stops.

I just got stuck with something while making an animation. I am making an animation where I want the last frames to keep repeating I want everything else to stop playing but to have specific animations repeat from a certain key-frame. Something like the animation on this site.
View 2 RepliesI need to rotate through an animation sequence.
the animation is 40 frames long and I have stop frames on 1, 10, 20, 30, and 40.
everytime the user clicks the "rotate" btn, it will go through the animation
This is the code I have on the rotate button:
on (release) { for (var i = 0; i<=5; i++) { _root.play(); trace(i); }}
It works for the most part, BUT, once the animation starts over again, it hesitates for a frame when you click the rotate button then it goes back
to normal.
I played around quite a bit and came up with exactly the effect I was looking for. Basically a movie clip with floating icons that come in and out of the stage. All was done in actionScript 3.0 and Code Snippets. There is no timeline per se, using the classic timeline view it is only one keyframe, the animation lasts for about 45 seconds.
I want the animation to loop continueously. Even in the HTML output I did click Loop Cont. under Publish settings. That does not work either.
I've created a flash banner for my website. This banner starts with an animation of text and the logo fading into frame.What I would like to do, once the introduction animation has played through, is periodically have the logo pulsate.I'd like to do this without obviously looping the entire animation. How would I set it to just loop a single movie in my scene.
View 1 RepliesThis was originally a tween, i converted it to code and removed the tweens.[code]....How can i loop that so the animation continues to run, because right now it only runs once.
View 4 RepliesI'm working with Flash CS4 on Windows Vista. I made a simple animation. Then, I added a top layer for ACTIONS and added functions at the last keyframe.
The function is-- stop(); --
Should not be hard, could not be more basic then that! Well, it doesn't work. Animation still play as loop.
is there a way to get the animation to start for the first time from frame 1 but then loop from a different frame,,, something like frame 30.
so it starts of like normal but then the loop starts at frame 30 instead of 1.

Check out the beginning of my site [URL]. Look closely at the flowing dress... it stutters when it tries to loop. However, look at the ripple animation behind the hexagon; it loops just fine. I recall when I worked on the ripple animation that I had a hard time getting it to loop, and that I had to add some action script to it. However, when I look at it, I don't see any action script at all.
I was thinking what I used was
on (complete) {
this.autorewind =true;
this.play();
}
but that doesn't work.
Here is how my files are organized:
FlowingCloth << Movie Symbol, contains a .FLV of the flowing cloth
FlowingDress << Contains FlowingCloth and the Bride graphic
Then FlowingDress is placed on the main stage. Using CS3
First, I am an ultra newb who has read about 50 tutorials in the past two weeks or so.So, here is what I am trying to do. I have a header navigation box in my flash page. I want, when someone opens the page, for an animation to play. Then, I want it to stop and display my menu.
What I have done: I created two frames and put my animation in one inside the movie clip. The second frame has the menu. When I try to test it, The frames flicker and the animation doesnt play.I tried putting stop() at the end of both frames. This just made it...not do anything and just display the menu.
A friend suggested putting "root.gotoAndStop(2);" at the last frame of my animation, but then I get an error.
I have created a banner in Flash CS5. It starts with a blank stage and an image tweens on to stage from the right edge. The image stays on the stage for a few seconds and a 2nd image tweens on to the stage and completly covers the 1st image. Similarly 3rd and 4th image cover the preceeding images. When I play the animation, before the 1st image covers the stage, there is nothing prior to it. When the 2nd starts tweening over the stage, the 1st image is still there.
Similarly for the 3rd and the 4th images, there is an image covering the stage. But after 1st loop completes, the animation goes back to a blank stage and the 1st image starts tweening on to the stage. Iwould like to have the 4th image stay on the stage while the 1st image starts tweeing on to the stage. I have started using Flash recently and am not very skilled with the program or ActionScript.
