I'd like a pause in my code, before it goes on to perform the next action.I'm trying not to use the timeline as little as I can, so in this case a timeline pause would be useless..[code]
View 1 RepliesI would like to use some sort of timed event to choreograph a movie as opposed to extending out the time line "x" number of frames.
In my movie - I would like some sort of pause action which pauses the movie for 5 seconds before proceeding to the next frame of that movie.
It's not a visible timer - just a way of controlling the time line with a frame action.
I'm trying to pause a movie using a stop action. I'm using a button to do this. This is in the actionscripting attached to the button.
on (press) {
stop();
}
The button is in the main movie so I don't get why it's not working. I'm also trying to add a button next to it that would play the movie, after pausing it.
Can somebody change this code from action script 1 to a action script 2 because it doesn't work on new flash 8

The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
I'm trying to make it so that an object will hit another object, go to the back of the screen, wait for 5 seconds, and then continue forward. I know how to do this all, save for the pausing. I have not been able to figure this out using the Adobe documentation, so it's probably not as simple as a pause(5) command like in other languages.

View 2 RepliesI've tried to create the code to do the following,.. after you press the button the movie will slide to a certain point ( 100,100 ) and then the movie will start its motion again ( nMC.startMotion() ) the problem is it doesn't have time to move to the position before the movieclip startmotion code kicks in. So basically i need some kind of delay in the code! Is this possible? [code]...
View 3 RepliesHow would I pause the execution of code? In Python it would beCode:pause(number of seconds)but I have no idea how to do this in AS3. I don't want to pause the frame, only the execution of the code.
View 7 RepliesI am creating a video and I need a play button to appear anytime someone hits the pause or stop button on the skin. Is this possible and if so does anyone have a sample code I could use. I am a super novice. I would also be ok with the entire preview movie clip appearing... as long as I can click it to play.
View 3 RepliesWhat is the equivalenet of the following code in Flex/AS3?
var elem = document.getElementById('hiddenTestDiv');
elem.innerHTML = '<b><span class="redText">H</span>ello <span>World!</span></b>';
var innerText = elem.innerText; // equals 'Hello World!'
var contentLength = elem.innerText.length; // equals 12
I was wondering if there was anyway to pause as2 at a specific part of the code. For instance I want to pause for 2 seconds before I enable a button. Most of my code is all held on one frame of the main timeline so pausing the timeline using setInterval is not an option.
So i guess what I am really trying to do is pause a function. Is that possible?
designer by trade & having difficulty getting my head around scripting. For most of what I'm doing, I'm managing to get by modifying snippetts that I've found online. However, one spot where I'm now stuck is making a pause button work for streaming mp3 files. I should qualify that adding the pause button was an after thought that I now realise is essential to the project working properly. The mp3 needs to start playing as soon as it starts downloading which is working fine. The mp3 needs to stop when the user goes to the next or the previous page, which is also working fine. But when the pause button is clicked first time, nothing happens. When it's clicked a second time, another instance of the mp3 starts playing. The pause and stop buttons work on this second instance, but not the first. I'm sure there's something really straight forward that I'm missing here, but I need a hand to find it. Following is the script as it now stands.

I'm using this piece of code from a panning source file uploaded to this site while back. I've tried to change the code so that after you press the button the movie will slide to a certain point ( 100,100 ) and then the movie will start its motion again ( nMC.startMotion() ) the problem is it doesn't have time to move to the position before the movieclip startmotion code kicks in.
img.b3.onRelease = function() {
nMC.slideToPoint(100,100); I need a delay here; nMC.startMotion()
}
I've inherited a project and found I can't find the code in the Actions Frame, that I can plainly see in the Movie Explorer in Flash Pro CS3.

View 1 RepliesThis seems a very basic question, but googled for long time... I have a movie clip, at Frame 3 there is only one line of code: stop(); My question is: how can I add it through AS? The instance name is my_mc, more specific, how to refer to the Frame 3 of my_mc?
Another question is the same. The movie clip has two frames, frame 1 is blank, at frame 2 there is a button. After attachMovie, get my_mc, trace my_mc, it is there, trace my_mc.my_button, it says undefined. How can I refer to my_button at frame 2? Then I can define onRollOver function for it.
I'm designing a platformer game, in which the code is all held within the character MC. I want to pause the game using something like 'delete this.onEnterFrame' as a start point to terminate code. The code layout within the character is like so:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
...
this.onEnterFrame = function(){ //within clip event
...
if(btnon == 1){ // when button pressed(on stage)) global value of 1 is true
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}...}}
Due to the fact its within a clip event structure, it doesn't pause it, instead it slows everything down. Would I have to construct all my code in a frame layer or can I still use an MC to terminate this?
is there a simple code that pauses all the movieclips or would i have to write a code for every single movieclip to pause??
View 1 RepliesI made this music video, and now I'm trying to give is some UI controls. I have a play and replay button at the start and the end. But I want to have a pause/play button available to users all the time. I know how to do that for one object at a time, but I have around 80 layers. How do I make it so it will pause the whole video (including the music) without a billion lines of code?
View 9 RepliesVisual Studio had a command "showDialog()" which allowed you to show your form as a dialog box on the screen. The advantage to this was that the code calling the dialog box would pause, stopping execution entirely until the dialog box closed. The benefit was you could write your code as follows (made "actionscriptey"):
Code:
var result:DialogResult = form1.showDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)

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 just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
