ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval In Movieclip Works But Breaks Stop(); Throughout Scenes
Mar 18, 2009
I have a series of 6 images. In a single movie clip symbol (with the pictures embedded/attached in the swf), I want the images to fade in, stop for 4 seconds, fade out as the next image fades in, and repeats from there. I know how to do this with timeline tweens - but I wanted to learn how to make it in actionscript.
I've finally been able to make the images do this, but when I pull the movieclip into my main animation, it breaks all my stop(); commands for navigation. it seems to stop for 4 seconds and then continues on. I'm still very much an actionscript beginner, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it.

The first scene will have an embedded movie clip and artwork as a background for approximately 150 frames, the next scene (Scene 2) then appears (in the first and only frame) which has the following (AS2) setInterval on it (to play a swf file on a movie clip - the swf lasts a little over 2 minutes. Hence, 122000 milliseconds below):
Code:
mc_demos.loadMovie("swf/aquira.swf");
stop();

As you can see on [url]...the last part of the Flash movie seems to be broken. Oddly enough, when I take the embedded SWF and view it separately[url]...
I'm not a flash expert, I don't know what can go wrong with embedding etc. but the actual FLA file seems to be ok, the map layer that is coming through randomly at the end shouldn't even be there! The frames at this point of the timeline on this layer are actually empty.

I have a function that draws a rectangle on the screen (see createInfoPanel())While drawing rectangle, I am adding 2 text fields on it.But as you may guess, it is adding those immediately. I want to delay adding these text fields, then I want to remove these panels after a while. The problem is, when I set an interval or timer, they won't work after I using once (I had to stop them by clearing/removing, it didn't set them again).Since my panel is being created each time image changes, I need them to work every time image changes.
So, I have 2 questions:1- How can I re-set interval each time my createInfoPanel() function works? It won't work anymore after setting and claring once. 2- You can see infoPanel.addChild(titleField); line in addInfoPanel() function. How can I work a smooth animation here? I mean, text appears slowly?

I have a small movie with a stop() on the last frame to prevent the movie from looping. On the last 10 frames or so a button appears that when clicked, goes to an external web site. The button will work until the timeline hits the last frame with the stop(), and at that point no longer works. The user is left sitting at the last frame of the movie, trying to click a button to visit another website and nothing happens.I have the button's actionscript in a separate layer starting from the same frame as the button (named buttonMBP) appears in the timeline:
Code:
buttonMBP.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, urlJump);
function urlJump(event:MouseEvent):void{
if(event.target == buttonMBP){[code]...
If I add trace commands to the function, I can see them work as I click the button when the last 10 frames are playing, but once the last frame appears with the stop(), everything goes into a dead stop. I guess the stop() stops everything and not just the timeline? I'm fairly inexperienced with AS3 (trying to learn).Is there a better way to have an active link appear on the last frame of a movie? I went with using a button because the standard text-tool doesn't support a mousehover (or not one that I could see) that would indicate that the text was an active url.

I'm working on a school project in flash cs5.We've been stuck with this for a few days now, scanning all pages in google to find. At the moment we have two scenes. The first scene sets up a menu, these buttons are for navigating to the other scenes. The second scene, pulls a movie into the screen.We've tried putting a stop(); at the end of the first scene, but it doesn't stop. It stops the movie in scene 2.We've tried stopping in scene 2 and tried with frame labels, but we're not sure if we did this in the correct way.

I'm building a point&click application with hundreds of buttons, functions and so on
I've added to the main gamepanel two buttons, one opening a navigation map and the other opening a paper with a long text. There is nothing strange, no interactions with those addings (both loaded with attachMovie or loadMovie, doesn't matter).
Obviously, when the map or the text are opened, the buttons below continue to be clicckable and usable...It exist a way to stop all buttons in all scenes?

I have a function that I want to run at an interval within a frame. I use the following code to start the function:
var intervalID = setInterval(intervalFunction, 3000);
Then, in a button's onRelease I want to stop the function. In the onRelease, I make a transition to another frame.
btn.onRelease = function()
{
clearInterval(intervalID);
gotoAndPlay("nextframe");
}
The intervalFunction continues to execute.

I have a movie that goes through a spiel and I want to be able to stop it then hit play and have it continue. Easy enough IF the movie just goes straight through. But what mine does is pauses at certain places to make way for some spoken word (to be added later) using setInterval.My problem is (seems to be) if I hit my stop button while it's doing it's 1.5 second pause, then the stop button gets ignored.

I am using Flash CS3. I'm new at actionscripting and I do not understand it completely. I have a movie that has a few (2-4) scenes in it. Each scene is like its own "commercial" I created a holiday movie that has snowflakes falling using an online tutorial. The movie works fine by itself, but when I load it as a scene in the movie that has my"commercials", the snowflakes continue to fall throughout the rest of the scenes. The holiday movie has a movie clip that has a snowflake falling straight down. The actionscripting duplicates the movie clip randomly as well as its opacity, postition, etc. I understand what I did during the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to get the snowflakes to stop falling throughout the rest of the scenes. I've tried entering a stop after the script but it just seems to stop the scene there without continuing to rotate through the rest of them. I don't quite understand where to tell it to stop. Somewhere else on the actions timeline? In the movie clip itself? Here is the actionscript code I'm using:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc",10);
var i = 0;
myInterval = setInterval(addFlake,500);

I use the letsMove function to move movieclips
MovieClip.prototype.letsMove = function(time, step, limit) {
countHundred = function (clip) {
clip._x += step;
updateAfterEvent();
[code]....
How can I use another setInterval function so, when the movieclip reaches the limit (in this case 100 pixels), it stops, waits for 1 second and starts the letsMove function again?

How can I use setInterval to start and stop the root timeline? I would like to use it in this little fade function wherein the setInterval would kick into effect once the alpha is 100%. You can see where I think it needs to go. Here's the code.
Code:
stop();
variable = x+5;
title_mc._alpha = 0;
function fade() {
var nFadeSpeed = 4;

I have few sound files and I need to play then in an order and every time after the sound played a button is active then the user can click on the button to play next sound....etc. But at some point my setInterval keep calling the stop sound function even though myTimer is delete. I checked the actionscript dictionary and I found that the delete action is for Flash 5. Does it mean I can use it in Flash 7 or 8 and actionscript2?
Here is the code my created:
//-----------play sound---------//
function soundPlay(ID:Number){
var instrSound:Sound = new Sound(this);
var soundName:String = "SCP" + ID + ".wav";
soundID = ID;

I am having problems with this function, which is called when a button is pressed. I am loading a JPG with a movieClipLoader into a newly created movieclip, and while this is loading the other is still viewable and is faded and deleted when the new JPG has fully loaded, using the code below:
ActionScript Code:
function loadBigPicture(iValue:Number, firstTime:String):Void {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myBigPicture"+iValue, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(_level0["myBigPicture"+iValue]);
[Code].....
If the button is pressed extremely quickly again and again, the intervals begin to stop working

whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!

I have a presentation I created in Flash CS4 for work. Everything is working fine except for the stop button. The presentation has music that plays along with the movie and needs to be synced to it. When you click the stop button the first time, the movie stops and the music starts over. When you click it again, the music stops. I need it to work so that the stop button only has to be clicked once and both stop together. I should also mention that my boss is set on having the music and movie play automatically when you click the link to the presentation. Here is the code in ActionScript 3:
var music:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("sound.mp3"));
var sc:SoundChannel = music.play();
var isPlaying:Boolean = true;
var pos:Number = 0;

num++;
this.slideDelay = setInterval(this.testFunc, 4000,num);

I have a movieclip prototype which I want to be applied to different movieclips every so often. The prototype controls it's movement, when it runs, the mc eases to a random x and y and stops. After that I want it to keep executing that movement prototype over and over, ie, keep moving around. I know how to use setInterval with functions, and I know movieclip prototypes basically are functions, but how can I get setInterval to work with movieclip prototypes assigned to specific movieclips?

i have buttons inside of my movieclip that link to the different scenes. on the buttons i have the code
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("bio");
}
"bio" is the frame name of the first frame in the second scene. it works correctly when i click on it the first time. but if i click on that button again in the second scene, it goes to the third scene. and if i click on it again, it goes again to the second scene. also, when i click the button the second time and it goes to what would be a scene ahead of where it is supposed to be, when i click on the button that should bring it to the scene it is currently on, it goes to the next scene when it is supposed to be on the same scene.

I am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.

Why does clearInterval not stop the interval? Does clearInterval not work when called inside a setInterval? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to delete the interval when it reaches a certain count?

I'm trying to play through a MovieClip frame by frame using setInterval. Overall I'm trying to imitate speeding up and slowing down of the MovieClip by changing the setInterval time. Basically, when a user moves the Slider the MovieClip needs to speed up or slow down based on the Slider value. EDIT: The code above works to a certain extent. As in the slider updates updateClip() and the MovieClip does actually play at one speed. But the MovieClip does not play at the speed variable value. If I remove the ClearInterval() the MovieClip just plays at one speed but then doubles when the Slider is changed. What I'm looking for is the MovieClip to play at the same rate as speed value.
