I'm creating a timeline to stop a movieclip at specific times.
Using setInterval I'd like to use an if statement to pause my movieclip at each of the times indicated by variableTimes:
variableTimes = [15, 20, 25];
if(myTimer=variableTimes){
myMovie.stop();
how to give variableTimes three independent variables.

i'm having trouble finding the answer to a simple (I hope) question. I made a flash banner and have successfully added an action that will loop it 3 times, stopping on the last frame. Here is the code I entered in a separate action layer:
INSERTED A KEYFRAME IN FRAME 1:
if (numberOfTimesToLoop<3) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
numberOfTimesToLoop++;
[Code]...
I have a banner with 4 MCs in it. Right now it starts automatically and loops endlessly. I would like the animation to play through 2 times, jump to frame 60 of the first MC and stop.
View 9 RepliesI have a flash piece that I want to loop 3 times and then stop.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")
[Code] .....
This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.
Im using the flvplayback to put up a video in my swf. in my swf i also have several buttons. the thing i want to do is when i for example click a button i want to start playing the movie from 5 seconds in it and then stop the movie at for example 10 seconds in it. even if the video is 20 seconds long i want to be able to stop it automatically at 10 seconds in the movie. the start and stop should be controlled from the button..
i know how to start the movie at a specific time but i dont know how to stop it at a specific time.
I've got a simple flash-based .exe that I'd like to load and play a move between a certain time of day. For example, the loaded movie should play everyday between noon-1pm and 2am-3am. The movie should then unload and go back to the original movie at the end of each time period. How and the world do I write the script for this?
View 2 RepliesI want all my libray object that are classes to load on frame 2 except for one which is the preloader class I want this to load on frame one.
I can go into my publish setting and set frame two for all the classes to load, but then my preloader class isn't available until frame two.
can I write a line of code that will make the preloader class available on frame one instead?
I have a question about movie clips. I have about 20 MC-s in my flash. Is it possible for me to duplicate one of them multiple times in specific location? I mean if I have button that says "DOG" and I press it, then new dog appears on screen. And I need to do it for like ten times or so
View 8 Replieshow to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.

I have an mc that i want to play 3 times then stop ... and it is not working.
I tried a basic timer
var timer:Timer = new Timer(8000, 3);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playMovieClip);
timer.start();
[Code]....
and for some reason not only does it continuously loop but it also adds an additional play every time it loops..
loop an mc three times then stop?
Anyways I have this movieclip that is only 60 frames long. In that 60 frames I just have a mask moving from frame 1 to frame 60. I want the movieclip to play and loop 3 times then on the 3rd time stop at frame 60.
I have been messing with the do ... while script, but havent gotten anything to work

I've successfully set up an FLVPlayback loop in AS2 using this code:
[Code]....
What I would like to do is stop the loop after the .flv plays 3 times.
I have been trying to find the answer to this for a while now. here is what I have tried so far.First frame is var loops = 0 then I dropped this on the frame i want it to stop on after 3 loops, but it continues to loop.if (loops == 3) {stop();}All I want it to do is loop three times and stop on say frame 119 after the 3 loops.
View 5 RepliesI learned to play a movieclip a specified number of times then stop. I need to stop an entire .fla (or, it may become a scene, but for now it's the only content) after it loops TWO times only.The .fla has one frame containing graphics and text on separate layers and 4 movieclips on different layers. The movieclips have no actionscript in them right now. They are essentially tweens over staggered times.
In fact, right now there's no actionscript anywhere in this particular .fla.How can I play it two times then stop. Also, I need to be able to accomodate further stuff after this.. that is, the movie is not yet been completed..it was just a start, but it's only this part that *is* completed I need to loop twice.
I need to make the whole ad repeat X number of times and then stop on the last frame (it always stops in the first frame for me) then I need to link the clickable button to go to a website when clicked. [URL]

I wrote this with the idea that it would stop my header from replaying a million times for repeat visitors. However it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I need a little direction, has anyone else done something similar to this? Also Isn't there a way to have it expire? like in a week or something?

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to get the following movieclip smallbutton to link to frame 5 on movieclip cont.The way the timeline is built is as so:content_mc > cont > (more mcs) > smallbuttonThis seems to be an issue from every answer I've tried so far since the movieclip "cont" is not being called in the main timeline; first there's content_mc and then comes cont.How would I go about getting the movieclip "smallbutton" to link to the 5th frame of movieclip "cont"?This is for AS 2.0So far I'm at:on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("cont"); _root.smallbutton.gotoAndPlay(5);
View 7 RepliesAnyway, I want to duplicate a movieclip several times and then give them a motion guide(is this possible?). I can do the attaching part, im just stuck with actually making it move
If not how would you go about duplicating something and then setting it off in motion? I would just keep changing there x/y cords but its not a straight path
With this I would also need to start the duplicated clip a bit behind the previous movieclip so that it looks like one is following the other.
I am very new to Flash and I am making a little 30 second clip just to fool around with Flash.Now at the end of my film I just want everything to stop (if possible, once a specific frame is hit move to another frame.)I've heard that you could use ActionScript to perform this but I really have no clue
View 5 RepliesIm going to attatch the fla on here...I am also going to give you the script viewable here...im completely a beginner so i made my self notes
also this is not all my coding im just learning off of it to create my own project... What coding would i use to tell the mc to stop scrolling once it reaches a certain x coordinate? for example x=0 (left side of stage) or x= -484 which is when right side of picture is at right side of stage... and can i setup math for it to automatically determine the correct x coordinate (based off mc width) to stop at?? if there is easier scripting to do the same....fill me in
oh and x is off of the stage typically...this is panoramic pics im scrolling
[Code].....
Here's what i've got...
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
_root.attachMovie("flag_mc", "flag_mc" + nextDepth(), nextDepth(),{_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
}
My problem is that it only adds one instance of flag_mc to the movieclip. When I press the mouse down again, it removes my old instance and puts a new one. Is it possible to make it leave the old one and add another?
This is what I've got now.A button (button_btn) on the stage and this code on frame 1[code]...
