ActionScript 3.0 :: Two Functions Running At Same Time With Single Button Press

Jan 23, 2012

I have a problem with two functions. This is the story: the user has to press the space button on keyboard when he sees something on screen, then the "rightClick" function is called. If he presses the button when there is something else on screen that is a wrong answer (function "wrongClick" is called). The problem is that when the user presses the space button both function run at the same time.

This is the call of the wrongtClick function on frame 5
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, wrongPress);
This is the call of the rightClick function on frame 10
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rightPress);

Both function are very simple:
function rightPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
scorenum += 1;
trace ("Right:",scorenum);
} function wrongPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
wrongnum += 1;
trace ("Wrong:", wrongnum);
//and plays a sound too
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Main Timeline To Stop In The Beginning On Button Press To Play And At The End Stop Again?

Feb 1, 2008

I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.

The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Changing The Function Of A Button Depending On Previous Button Press?

Mar 14, 2007

I'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.

I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -

i.e.

navigation buttons:

-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics

If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...

similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"

ActionScript 2.0 :: Start() Stop() Movie Clip When Press Button?

Apr 29, 2004

i'm trying to write the code for a flash animation which uses different movie clips and buttons.all the movie clips are in the same layer but i've written code to make all but one invisible when the animation loads.

dance._visible = false;
harmonica._visible = false;
violin._visible = false;

i've then got buttons which are supposed to make the movie clips visible, but then disapear again after the clip has played.i want to be able to press one button to have one clip start playing, but then i want to be able to press another button which stops that movie clip and starts a new one playing.this is what i came up with but it doesn't work

on (press) {
violin.stop();
harmonica.stop();[code]....

this script is from one of the buttons which is supposed to start the movieclip harmonica and stop violin playing.i've got the same code for violin but the other way round.when i press a button it works fine and plays the clip which then disapears (leaving a default clip which plays all the time visible) but pressing buttons to interrupt the clip and play another one don't work properly. the movie clips don't stop and reset when they are interupted. they kind of pause instead. when i go to play a clip that has previously been interrupted it starts from where it has been paused and not from the beginning

ActionScript 2.0 :: Stop Animated Movie Clip On Button Press?

Apr 27, 2004

I have two arrows that control an animated movie clip that has words scrolling vertically. When you click on one arrow it plays the movieclip forward, and when you click on the other arrow it plays the movieclip backward. I want you to have to keep clicking on the forward arrow to have it continue animating through the different words. I've place stop actions at the points I want the movieclip to stop animating but when you click the forward or backword button it never stops and just plays through the whole thing. [URL]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Press The Previous Button To Rewind The Timeline, The Movie Clip Does Not Stop?

Aug 5, 2009

I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.

I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.

Quote:
ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.

1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.

2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".

3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)

4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.

5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.

a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.

b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:

Code:
stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....

Media Server :: Test My Movie - When I Press The Stop Button The Output Window Shows Me An Error Of "#1009 ?

Jul 17, 2011

I'm running FMS 4 Dev on my win XP SP3 machine, also running flash cs5 professional on same machine. I get the server admin screen to come up and it says it's running. I'm using a tut book on FMS and trying to run the first script in the book. It's long but I'll add the script at the bottom so you can see what i'm doing. In the server app folder I placed another folder called vid2 with nothing in it just like the book told me to do. I wrote the script line for line out of the book. When I test my movie it lays out my video window and buttons. It diplays my ugly mug on the screen. when I press the record button it does nothing. when i press the stop button the output window shows me an error of "#1009 can't access properties or methods of a null object". I assume that this is telling me I do not have a net connection.
 
when I types in the example it had an IP address in the code.How do I know the correct IP addy to my dev server? If I'm doing development and testing on the same machine do I even need to know this?  2) How will what I'm doing now differ from leasing space from an FMS provider?

the script:
 
package{        import fl.controls.Button;    import fl.controls.TextInput;    import flash.display.Sprite;    import flash.net.NetConnection;    import flash.net.NetStream;    import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;    import flash.events.MouseEvent; [code].....

My problem is pretty simple, but I'm still finding my way around even the simplest things in Actionscript. I have a movieclip named 'leaf9' in which I'm using as a button (which happens to be within another movieclip). I have the following actionscript on the frame which contains 'leaf9':

What I want is for all the other functions to go away once "shrink" has started to play, so that if the mouse goes over the button again, the clip doesn't start playing "rollover" etc etc. So how do I stop all the other functions from playing once the .onRelease function has started?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop All Running Timers At Once?

May 12, 2010

I prepared a educational game at flash with actionscript. I newable at flash. But i have a problem. I create a main.swf and other swf's. I call others to main.swf with addchild() code. The swf which I called has sounds inside (i called sounds from file not embedded in timeline or linkaged from library). I create also some timers on other swf files to ease my job. Timers control timeline. But not controls the sounds. The problem is that when i unload or remove the child at the stage i can clear all of the items. But timers still continuning . I search the problem at web a bit and i meet by chance the following code,

ar t:Timer = new Timer()
TimersManager.getInstance().register(t);
...
TimersManager.getInstance().stopAll();

it is for Flex i understood. But it can be possible with flash? anyone knows that how i can create a timersmanager class and register my timers on it.
