createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
container.loadMovie("path/to/someMovie.swf");
now how can I:
a.) stop(); (or equivelent) someMovie.swf?
b.) get the basics about someMovie.swf, like .currentFrame and .totalFrames?
I am designing a graph to allow line drawing. After the user draws the line, they will drag words (movieclips) from a menu onto to the graph. I am not able to turn of the line drawing function, so when the words are dragged another line is created. I tried to turn off the line drawing onRollOver of the word with no luck. Here is what I'm doing.
Draw line function:
var isDown:Boolean = false;var xPos1:Number;var yPos1:Number;var xPos2:Number;var yPos2:Number;
_root.onMouseDown = function() {

I have three btns on stage, clicking on each one i want them to load an external mp3.The problem is the previous loaded sound doesn't stop when a new one is loaded so I have all sounds playing at the same time
View 3 RepliesI know how to stop the timeline ( loaded_swf.stop() ) but how to completely stop and restart all actionscripting?
I have a bunch of already-made particle effect swf's and fla's that need to be converted to .mov's, ideally by saving out the frames. I can iterate through the frames by pausing the action on each particle, but it requires me to rewrite a bunch of of the effects.
I'm having a problem with stopping loaded movies
- on Frame1 I have all Buttons and movie names.
- On Frame2, I've created a Movie Clip
- By clicking a link / Button on frame1, the action is to take to Frame 2 and load movie and play. It is working fine up to this part.
Then it is on infinity loop. It never stops. How to stop the movie and take the control back to Frame1 with all links.
I'm nesting a SWF inside my movie by so
Code:
var loading:Loader = new Loader();
loading.load(new URLRequest("loading.swf"));
placeholder.addChild(loading);
All is fine and dandy. But I would like playback of the nested swf to be stopped initially. This can be done by putting a 'stop()' call on the swf itself but I would really like to know if it's possible to do this from the parent movie?
I have a main swf into which has a number of clip instances which serve as buttons to load separate swf files dynamically. The swf I'm testing has stop(); actions on various frames, but when loaded it simply plays through to the end and loops continuously.I was able to use onLoadInit to stop the loaded swf in the first frame, but have failed at various efforts to direct the clip to play again in the manner that I desire- i.e. stopping at the various pause points until a click starts it playing again.
View 2 RepliesI have a loaded .swf that has the necesary stops to just play once and stop. It works when testing the movie, but once uploaded to the server, it loops forever, any ideas, I am using ActionScript 2.0
View 1 Repliesi have loaded one swf in current file. the loaded swf contains a video with sound. now on clicking another button of current file say "next" I want to load another swf which i did but the sound of previous swf is not stoping
View 2 RepliesHere s my problem, my stage contains 2 loaders, on the top there s an swf that contains buttons (my menu) and on the botom it loads in my content swf's.works out fine for fotos and so one, but im stuck when the loaded content is a video..
on my videoswf i ve got a play and a return(with stop) button, to return back to a frame to select what video should be played.. those buttons work perfectly, of course
the problem is now, that when i play the video and press a button from the upper loaded swf ( the menu) it loads another swf as usual,.. but the sound of the video still plays (so there has to be a child somewhere)..
now, how can i erase that movie instance when i cant excess it from the upper swf? is there a global value like stopEveryF*thing, or something like that ?
was wondering if is there any way to stop sound (stream sound put on a frame as it have to be sync to an animation) from a loaded swf.I know SoundMixer but I don't want to stop sound from my main swf, that have the possibilities to load external flv.

I have created a SWF file using a class I created as the main class for the swf. this swf is a movieclip with a frame labeld "open" and a stop action at the last frame the main class of the SWF:[code]the problem is when I run the open function, after loading the swf it doesn't stop at the last frame. in fact it does not stop in any of theframes that have stop action in them. So far what i figured out is that if don't convert the content to PageSwf, and put it in a genereal variable and the run the open function it works just fine.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a main movie which loads a movie with buttons, a button is clicked and movie goes to second frame and plays an animation then at the end of the animation it loads the next movie. ToolShopAnim01.swf does not stop on the first frame. I can not figure out why. Sometimes it works, but I can't seem to find the cause of it not stopping!
Here is the code in that frame once animation stops.
stop();
_parent.startPreload("ToolShopAnim01.swf");
The code below is on the first frame of ToolShopAnim01.swf.
stop();

I've use AS3 Youtube API to load youtube video into my flash file, let's call it youtube.swf
I've a main.swf and it loaded youtube.swf into it's stage.I try to unload this youtube.swf and load in another new.swf, but the sound of youtube still running.
I've insert the player.destroy() in the main.swf but it's not working too.
Any idea that I can destroy the youtube video with the script in main.swf?
I have a loaded swf that contains a sound object, however, when the clip is removed the sound continues, how can i remove the sound?
View 9 RepliesI have a project in which the main swf loads another into it. The swf that gets loaded has an xml driven slideshow that runs on a timer. To view what the timer was doing in the output I traced the name of each photo as the timer fired. When I unload the swf I've noticed that though it appears to be gone from the stage the timer continues to fire and the images are listed in the output. I know that I can stop a timer by using
ActionScript Code:
photoTimer.stop();
but I can't figure out how to stop the timer in an externally loaded swf. I'm using this code to remove the swf
ActionScript Code: this.mc_content_box.mc_placeholder.removeChild(contentLoader); I'm worried that the timer may be loading the photos in the background somehow and increasing the workload.
I'm loading an external swf file that has some sounds in it (to the main swf). The swf contents never leave the movie but it does get pushed to the site when it's not in view.
The user can bring it back in view by pressing on a left/right button. So when it's not in view... or tweening out of view I need the sounds to stop.
Since the loaded swf is never unloaded, what should I look at to accomplish this... communicating with the loaded swf, etc?
I've loaded an swf in a loader. Is there any way to stop the loaded swf at the currentframe?
View 2 RepliesI have loaded a swf into a fla. The page I loaded it on has a scroll bar. I need the loaded swf to stay at the top of the page and not move when the page is scrolled. Here is my code so far.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("calendar.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.x = 100;
myLoader.y = 100;
I already have an mp3 player I've built that uses dynamic text (song title and track info) and variables to load an mp3 dynamically through .php & FlashVars. I only need 1 mp3 playing at one time and so this method works great for me. This way I can update it without going into Flash at all (but XML is overkill so no need for that either). Thing is, I would like to have a play and stop button that actually stops and starts the track where it last was stopped / paused, rather than resuming from the beginning. I also have built in a volume slider.
Here is the Actionscript I've been using:
On Volume Slider MC [mySlider]:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound(mp3Title,true);
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mySound.setVolume(_root.volume);
[Code] .....
It Works ok, but like I said...stop does not "pause" the mp3 but rather stops it irrecoverably. Play starts from the beginning which I would like to avoid.
Is there a script that can cancel out re-loading a loaded .swf? i have 4 buttons which load 4 different .swfs, so when you click on button one, movie one loads, but if the user clicks on button one again the movie re-loads again.

I have had this issue for months now, I get round it by simply renaming the class something else but I just wondered if I could do anything else.. Basically if main.swf uses Startup.as in a folder called com. and child.swf uses Startup.as in a folder called com (child is published in a different directory though with its own unique com folder) when child is loaded into main, child trys to use Startup.as but from the main's com folder (causing errors as this is not its Startup class) So I get round this by renaming childs Startup to say.. ChildStartUp. I think this issue has something to do with inheritance? Child inherits everything from main? So how would I stop child from using mains Startup.as?
View 3 RepliesI have a CS5 FLA file with AS 3.0 with the following code for the preloader:
var pct_load:int = Math.round(framesLoaded/totalFrames*100);
if (pct_load == 100) {
play();
[Code]....
The preloader is in the first four frames -- it's just the background photo, a graphic logo, and the loading numeral text.
Everything runs great the first time it's loaded; then if you refresh the page, the graphics in the first four preloader frames flash on the screen before the movie plays.
I have an FLV video loaded as an "external video with play back component" in my Flash site. It works pretty well, even loads fast regardless its 15MB size. The video located on its labeled section which has an "X" button which closes this section and brings a user back to the page with all the video sections. However once the labeled section with the video is closed the sound is still playing.Does any one know how to make it stop if the section with the video has been exited?Then go to HOW TO section and click on the link "here" for "The Arrangement" show it will bring you to the section with the video loaded as an "external video with play back component" in my Flash site.
View 4 RepliesThis is a PAIN. I always get grief if i try to use 'pause timline' code of any sort.[code]...
The 'CLOSE' button under it, unloads the level the vid sits in plus the butterflies swf just incase this devil code is still lurking. So go ahead and close it. And wait a few seconds and the WHOLE site loops.
