ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Play/pause Toggle Button?
Aug 13, 2002Is there an easy way to make a button that toggles from play/pause? Or should I ask, what is the best way.

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple flash mp3 player with a play/pause toggle button called toggle_btn. The button is actually a MovieClip with two buttons inside it: play_btn and pause_btn, which live in different places on the MovieClip's timeline. That all works fine, and when I press the play/pause button for the first time, my music plays as expected.
However, when I press it again to pause, it keeps right on playing. If I push it again, the button gets all glitchy, and doesn't go into its rollover state when it should nor toggle when clicked.
Here's my ActionScript:
Code:
// load the playlist
var getFile:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest('songs.xml'));
var numSongs:int = 0; // number of songs in playlist -- we'll set this later

I'm having difficulty adding a Play/Pause button to an FLA animation that I've created. The animation is a frame-by-frame clip with motion tweens (rather than an FLV file). I'd like the Play/Pause button to toggle between a PLAY state and a PAUSE state depending on whether the animation is already playing or paused. (It will automatically play when the user begins viewing it, so the first button state should be at PAUSE.)
I've sucessfully created the button (actually as a movie clip with the two states). I've also got the button to pause and play the animation--but I'm unable to get the button (movie clip that is) to actually toggle between the two states. Can anyone tell me a good script to use for this type of control?
I currently started getting into webdesign and downloaded adobe flash trial as well as dreamweaver trial. How to add the toggle button.
This is the code I am using.
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var isplaying:Boolean = true;
var lastposition:Number;

I am new to this flash and I am using as2 for the action script I wanted to know how to create a toggle button so far this is all I have.
on (release) {
play ();
} on (release) {
stop ();
}
I wanted so that when you hit playit would start the animation but showing the pause button and vice versa.
I have encoded a video to make a .flv for my site, I want to add a simple pause/play toggle button for the flv, does anyone know what code I need to add to a button to get it to work? I don't want to use the default skins and can't seem to find away to get it to pause / play??
View 2 RepliesI've googled and googled but got no where or outdated tutorials. Anyone know how to make it so I can toggle audio with buttons using ActionScript 3 on Flash?
View 2 RepliesI'm new to flash and just need to do a simple task but I can't manage to get it to work. I'm trying to import a video (flv) into a SWF container and need to AS functions which should be exposed to JS (using liveconnect or anything else). These two function should toggle sound on/off and toggle play/pause. I dont need any user interface or a full featured player, just these two functions.

View 3 RepliesI'm simply creating a button in flash that should alternate between a 'play' graphic (i.e. > ) and a pause graphic (i.e. || ) every time its clicked. That's all!
In shockwave I would simply type a line of code that would set a new memberNumber or memberName to swap the graphics on mouseUp. How do I do it in Flash? I called a friend and he though I had to do something like create a movieClip inside a button or vice versa. It all seems rather complicated for such a simple task.
What would be the best way to make a toggle button -- like one where you switch it on, and it stays on until you switch it off. I have two jpegs one for on and one for off.
View 4 RepliesWhen button1 is clicked, the cursor changes into a 'movieclip' I want this movieclip cursor to switch back into a regular cursor when button1 is clicked again, so toggle the function on and off. My question to you is, is it likely to use some kind of boolean here to toggle the function on and off?
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,wipe);
function wipe(e:Event):void {
Mouse.hide();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follow);
function follow(evt:MouseEvent) {
cursor.x = mouseX;
cursor.y = mouseY;
}}
i started with a Multiple mp3 players project and i more complicated with that - as you see in the picture i try to do that when click on the play button for every song this switch the song that selected -first preloading + percentage the mp3 file and after play it immediately and of course there is stop button, pause button when choose a song the previously that play will be muted
View 4 Replieson frame 1 I've got 10 movieclips and each movieclip has a toggle button to make it visible true and false.
How do write the script to do the following on frame 10?
if only 1 movieclip is visible make one_mc visible true
if only 2 movieclips are visible make two_mc visible true
if only 3 movieclips are visible make three_mc visible true
... so on for all 10 hope this make sense.
I finished the Flash Video Basics Tutorials, but I'd like the video not to start playing straight away. I also want it to stop playing when it's finished and not start over again.Is there also an easy way to have the play-button change into pause button, when the video is paused?

I checked all flaskit sources and tutorials. All of them are telling about mp3 players with stop, play and pause buttons.
Is there any source or tutorial about a radio which continiously play songs ? No pause, no play, no stop button. it will play songs in specific folder nonstop in loop. ?
I'm trying to create buttons so a viewer can pause and then play an externally loaded swf. My project can be accessed at the linke below. This is how I want the project to function
-Click a room on the building (choose Accounting for this discussion)
-Click one of the demo options (choose Ending a Period for this discussion)
- Now that the demo plays, I want the user to be able to play and pause the demo swf.
The demo .swfs were created in Captivate so I don't have access to their timeline. They are loaded into an empty Loader component using the MovieClipLoader Class.

I'm extremely new to Flash and I am making a website and want to have a single button that when pressed pauses or plays a music file. I was able to create one that works by following a tutorial that I found online but the problem is that the button is on the main timeline so as I move away from it, it stops working. I think that it would work better if I was able to make a movie clip out of the button so that it doesn't sit on the main timeline and will keep working no matter where I am on the timeline. All I need is one button that pauses and plays music when pressed. I also want to be able to have a "music on" line of text and "music off" line of text depending on whether the music is playing or not.
View 4 RepliesWell as the title says I need to create an Play/Pause button in one. So when I click on the button it plays my animation, then when I click on it again it pauses it. And then when I click on it again it plays the animation where it was. etc. etc.
I know how to create a simple button and give it an event and an function, but I cant figure out how to get those 2 functions together in one?

I have created a Pause and Play button that toggles between states. It controls a Timeline with synced Sound. When I use it the sound and animation go out of sync. Can anyone help me with this or perhaps have better code I could swap out to make this work?
Below is what I am currently using:On the first frame of an Action Script layer put this AS:
playBtn.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause(false);
playBtn._visible = false;
pauseBtn._visible = true;
[code]....
Put the Pause and Play buttons directly over each other on 2 layers for the duration of the timeline.Pause Button on top. (unless you have a STOP on the first line then maybe the Play button will start it.
I am trying to make an animation that will pause and start again after a certain time. The problem is I don't have any experience with Actionscript (or programming of any sort for that matter)..I found this link that appears to explain how it's done, but I can't seem to replicate it. I'm not even sure which version of Actionscript this is.. [URL]
View 5 RepliesI have a play/pause button on my animation which works a treat when all animations are within the main movie clip. Now I would like to have some movement within the main movieclip and some within individual sub movie clips. Once I go to play the animation all animated objects within the main movieclip are stopped but the sub movie clips are playing. How can I stop the sub movie clips to???
The following is the current code I have
ActionScript Code:
stop ();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop(2);
_parent.play();

how to create a button to pause/play a FLV?I have an FLV with cue points (using the FLVPlayback component). The cue points are controlling when graphics are added to some empty movieclips on the stage. The FLVPlayback component skins would work but they are hidden by graphics on higher layers.I'm using CS4, Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0.
View 1 RepliesHow to add both pause and play sound button in a single button.. on play it shows the image pause and on pause it shows the image play.
View 4 RepliesI have seen umpteen different guides on how to make a play/pause button in flash. and i cannot get it to work. I think i may pull my hair out soon.basically- i have made an mc which sits on the main timeline. i t has 2 frames, ecah of which has a stop() action in the frame. the first has a pause button with the following script attached to to the button:
on(release){
_root.stop();
gotoAndStop(2);
}
i have also tried putting in nextFrame instead of gotoAndStop() -but this is besides the point as it's not even stopping!in the second frame there is a play button with the following scruipt attached to it:
on(release){
_root.play();
gotoAndStop(1);
}
I think the problem may be deeper rooted because i have looked on sevral guides and they all tell me to do a similar thing.
In fact i made a button which sat on the timeline with this script
on (release) {
_root.stop();
}
and STILL nothing happened!
