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?
I'm trying to make a Flash banner for a website and I'm having trouble with the play/pause part. Right now I've got it set up as 100 frames with 10 keyframes and 10 pictures and at the end it goes back to the beginning. Here's my AS:

How do I make it so that it only reads the first part of hte code and then reads the next after the user clicks it the second time?
I need to create a tall background, when the user clicks on a button the background will scroll up and down to the area that the user wants to go to. ( I attach an image of how that might look like)
The background is divided in to 4 sections, the way i figure to do this, is to have each section be a different part of the timeline- and what Ｉ need to happen is as the user arrives at one of the sections or in that part of the timeline the mc's on that sections start playing and stoping once he/she leaves.
If there is a better way of doing this as well- feel free of telling me- Im use flash about once a year.
I have a swf file "home" that has a series of animations that are button controled.I want part of the animation to be skipped when I click one specific button, for instance.Most of the time I want frame label:"1 out" to play all the way through to the last frame (20) and on frame (20) there is an action sending it back to frame 1and stopping, but I need to have a button that when hit plays frame label 1: "1 out" and continues to frame (19) and does not utilize the action on frame (20) sending it back to frame (1), or in other words playing through "1 out" and then playing "2 out" which occurs on frame 21 without returning to frame (1).

Is there a possibility to tell flash, that he should ignore a piece of code out of an xml file.I'm asking this becouse our programmer generates dynamicly xml's.these contain a piece of code that makes that flash doesnt want to read our xml.Maybe I could tell flash to ignore this specific string?
View 1 RepliesI have to swf files.
One is menu.swf and the other is long.swf
Menu.swf has basically a menu and loads long.swf in to it. Long.swf is a file with a very long background, only part of it is displayed at a time.
My question is quite basic- how do I get the menu.swf to load long.swf and go directly to a specific part of the background.
I can get long.swf to go directly where I need it with its internal navigation by using tweenlight, but not from menu.swf.
How can I make images load dynamically thru button onto the main stage in the same frame of the main flash movie.
Can I load a movie onto a specific part of the stage?
I've been trying to implement and make classes out of some code that was written in the timeline by someone else; some problems have inevitably arisen. One of these problems is that I can't seem to compile a specific part of it concerning vectors, given that it tells me that there were no property definitions for the variables and that upon importing, these definitions could not be found:
[Code]....
It also tells me that Vector is not a compile-time constant, and its methods or properties could not be found. Besides this, I can't seem to find the definition for BlendMode for applying a filter with the BitmapData draw() method. Below I list the pertinent piece of code for you to be able to help me in case there's something wrong in my writing. Oh and BWT, what does this declaration mean? var i:Vector.<int>=new Vector.<int>([1,2]); I don't understand why the array brackets inside an int Vector.
[Code]....
I have a custom FilterColumnHeaderRenderer with an HBox, inside a Label for the Column Header, a Textinput for the filter text and Label to clear the filter. Now I want that the column sorting only takes place on clicking the title.Currently the I use the sortCompareFunction on HeaderRelease for the whole columnHeader.[code]
View 2 RepliesWe are building a flash website with cms at the back end, and we are allowing admin to put anchors inside a content. Later we created a smaller version of the whole content to display just a small part and then [read more] button. Which add a new layer on top of every thing acting like a popup and it is populated with complete content.
Now we would like to scroll that text inside popup to that portion which [read more] button was clicked.
The most common example inside HTMl is go to top link in footer on most of the sites which move the whole document to top.
I'm trying to make a link from one flash site to another, but not just to the home page of it, but to a specific part of it.

View 2 RepliesHow do you protect part of a .fla file? I see how you can encrypt a swf file, but if it's the raw source code, and you want to protect a part of the file that would never need to be modified, how would you go about it? I had a look at [URL], but it can't encrypt .as files that have global variables that are referenced internally to your .fla. Ideally, I'd like to be able to encrypt an integral part of the code that makes the component unique, but would not need to be modified if the developer needed to add something to the component.
Also, on a similar note, how do you go about including domain name checking in the source, so that the component can only be used on one domain? I've seen articles on using this type of code in swfs, but is there a way if the component is a .fla file?
I have some code on the main time line which basicially just says when this button is pressed go to this frame indicated by the frame label. In this case "answer". This is done inside a movie clip, which isn't on the main time line.

Suppose I have 5 links that load different SWF files. I'm loading the first one in the background and I will continue to load the other SWFs once the previous one has completed.Suppose a user clicks link 4 but only SWFs 1 and 2 have been fully loaded and SWF 3 is currently being loaded. Would it be possible to pause loading 3 and skip to part 4 and finish loading that?
View 0 RepliesAt the moment, I am attempting to make a music player that will play a specific song of my choosing. I am stuck at the part where you can pause the sound, and then play it in the same place. I have tried many things such as using the timer utilities. Right now, when I pause it, it stops, and when I press play, it plays from the beginning.
stop();
var channel:SoundChannel;
var soundCheck:Boolean = true;
var song:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("song.mp3"));
channel = song.play();

So i am working on a pause menu for my game. I have an inventory box that has slots for weapons, powerups, and other items. I wanted different boxes that are specific to each type of pick-up (weapons, powerups, other). So I drew a box with 3 frames, it is set up similar to tabs in a web browser; click on weapons tab and you see your weapons in your inventory, click on powerups tab and you see the powerups etc...
In each frame I gave the inventory slots different instance names, i.e. in weapons; weaponSlot1, weaponSlot2, and in powerups; powerupSlot1, powerupSlot2.
When the player bumps into an item, i use gotoAndStop('frame number') so that each item is added to the proper inventory slot. the only problem is that if i bump into a key then pause the game, the key is there (under 'Other' tab), but if i click the 'weapon' tab and then go back to 'other', the key is no longer there.
This makes sense because when you click on each tab, i use gotoAndStop('frame number'), and in each frame the inventory slots are blank, so im stumped on how to keep each item in the proper slots?
I am going to i upload all my files in a zip, the main file that you will want to look at is the PauseMenu.as file
Also you will notice 3 public functions called 'checkWeaponSlots', 'checkPowerupSlots', and 'checkOtherSlots'. These are called in my main file, when the player bumps into an item, these functions are called to check which slots are empty.
Is there a way in flex (Flash Builder 4) to make regions like in c#, to group a part of the code allowing us to collapse it and see through our project more easily?
In c# it's like:
#region exammple
// my funtions I want to group
#endregion
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 1 Repliesdesigner 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()
}
