I want to loop a movie clip a different number of times depending on conditions in an if else statement i tried using a counter like this
Code:
playTwo = function(){
if (_global.counter < 2) {
theMC.play();

Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.
I'm trying to get a movie clip to loop 3 times, and then continue on.Here's the code I've written (I'm sure it's painful to see)
stop();
if (!loopCount) {
var loopCount:Number = 0;[code]...
i want to loop a movie clip i have (an swf from swift 3d).i want it to spin 4 times, then stop . (using actionscript). [maybe even switch it with another movie clip, or a button or whatever.i have NO idea how to do this. i think maybe using a loop of some sort.

I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

View 2 RepliesI have this animated block that I want to use multiple times in a scene. Everything looks fine until I move the background(separate layer) with a tween. The second it moves it shows only one animating block instead of 4. Also, if I click on "show this layer only" it only shows the one block.So how can I use this movie clip multiple times?

View 6 RepliesI am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

View 2 RepliesI'm pulling in xml and generating movie clips to display scrolling thumbnails. When the user clicks on the thumbnail I've got this code.[code]What I want here is to display a couple more images, some text and a couple of links related to the thumbnail. This comes from the xml file and is stored in an array.I need to pass the unique number of the movie clip to the pop-up in order to target the info from the array but I don't know how to get the number of the clip.trace (target_mc); gives me _level0.container.container_mc8. The number of the clip is obviously 8. How do I just get the number or can I somehow use this result?

If I hard code this value i.e. _glow0 or _glow1, this works but this value needs to be dynamic, in order to get the rollover state working. per highlightCan();
I use FlashMX and made a basic flash movie with one movie clip. (movie clip contains frame by frame animation using images rendered at AE) How can I make the movie clip stop after a specified number of seconds? Client wants to be able to change the seconds when needed. So a text file along with swf file including number of seconds...?
View 2 Repliescreate a variable that represents the number of frames in a movie clip? I thought maybe something like var = getProperty(my_mc, frames); might work, but it doesn't. I'm trying to make a "last" button for a template that goes to the last frame in a movie clip, and as we'll be updating and changing the number of frames in the movie clip quite often, I'd rather just have it find the last frame rather than have to update the actionscript every time.
