If you place a for loop in a recursive function with the function call within the loop... will the loop finnish or does it stop working untill the last recursion?
View 2 RepliesI have an interactive flash application that I'm building, but it's gotten kinda large (~200k) because of one large png file. So, I want to build a preloader for it, but I seem to have some difficulty getting it to a) stop looping back to scene 1, or b) look good if I use stop();
for some reason, the folowing scene's moving elements look crappy if I use stop(); in it's first frame in order to stop it from going back.
I don't want scene 1 to continuously reappear, but stop messes with the moving elements in scene 2.
I have a variable in a loop that i want to access in a function outside of the loop. However the variable gets deleted when the loop is closed so no longer exists when i call in the function.here is the code; i'm trying to access the variable picHeight from within the scroll function

Any way to get this to work without using much more code? This is for a function that checks to see if a user is still logged into a website. I need the check to happen every time the user causes certain functions to run, like create topic, submit new post, etc. I could put the code, which is only a two-liner if/else statement in every function, but it would be nice to just call a single function. But that function would have to be able to cause the function that's calling it to return to get it to cease.
I have successfully stopped a loop in one of my layers but it also affects other layers I don't want it to. I have a layer of moving clouds I would like to continue to animate during the playback.
Is there a way to have a stop(); apply only to one (or more) layer(s)?

Despite the stop() I put in the beginning, the entire thing keeps looping. How do I stop it from looping?
I am having a bit of trouble getting my for loop to stop What I want to happen is when a button is rolled over it gets a movieclip from the library (not on the stage previous to rollover) move it the height of the movieclip up on the y axis as well as fade in and stop on roll out do the opposite, except if you rollover and rollout to quickly I don't want to mc to show at all.

I've got a simple function that works towards a lesson progress bar.
onEnterFrame = function () {
progTotal = Math.round (_root._totalframes);
progCurrent = Math.round (_root._currentframe);
progPercent = (progCurrent/300);
trace(progPercent);
}
Works like a champ, but as I traced it I noticed this occurs about 15 times a second (15fps).
This seems like a ton for overhead computing to me, and was wondering if I could just grab it initially on the enterframe and stop. I only need to know once in the frame when it changes (on the entry of a new frame).

View 5 Repliesim trying to make a website in flash andd everytime it just cycles through all 4 pages in a loop. if i redo the entire site it will work if i test it but as soon as i go to file save as and save it as a new name it goes back to looping and cannot be fixed unless i redo it again. i have 4 layers and the first frame in layer "action" has stop(); as the first line. the syntax is correct and i get zero errors.

View 7 RepliesI have created an animation with a number of layers - some have movie clips and some are frame by frame animation. It's 60 frames long and loops. When I put a preloader in at the beginning and put a stop action on it the stop action stops all the frame by frame animation. How do I get just the preloader to stop (and not loop)?
View 7 RepliesI am producing a banner ad and I need to have this 15 second animation loop two times (for a total of 30 seconds) and then stop. If this does call for AS?
View 3 RepliesWordPress site as an .swf with all the appropriate files loaded in the same directory. My client would like two things to occur in the animation: 1. The animation should stop after first time it runs and not play again. 2. Further, the animation should remain stopped throughout the duration of the visitors session so that when they view other pages they don't have to see the animation reloaded with each new page they visit. So far I'm unable to even get the animation to even stop on the first page load, despite having taken the following steps: 1. Created an "Actions" layer dedicated solely to actions.2. Placed the "Stop" Action Code in the last from of the aforementioned "Actions" layer. 3. I'm using Action Script 3.0 with a Flash Player 10 installed in my browser.
View 4 RepliesI'm pulling an xml and using a for loop to create a thumb list. This list is going to be quite long but I only 25 thumbs to be loaded at a time, so that the next 25 is only loaded when a user hits a button. I know how to set up a for loop in a function, but I can't quite figure out how to break up a loop where it would stop and start. I was thinking I would call the function each time a button is pressed and the loop would pick up where it left off with the next 25.
I thought maybe I could substite other variables into the for(); but everything I've tried breaks it. I tried pulling the var i:int = 0; out of the for so the function could set the i, but I guess I'm not clear on exactly how the for loop works.
What I'm doing:
function loadarticleHeadlines():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < egarticleXml.articlelist.articleitem.length(); i++)
{

I have created a button which plays an external MP3 file, but the first problem is it only plays once. What script do i have to add so the sound continually loops. Secondly, I have created a button which stops music, but I can't figure out the code which stops the MP3 file playing. I've tried backMusic.close();, but an error message is displayed as the sound is already loaded up.
Heres the ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;

I am duplicating movie clips on the stage using a for loop. Inside the for loop is a loadMovie() function that loads a jpg inside each newly duplicated clip. My question is how do I pause the for loop until the image is done loading, then move on to the next.The way it is right now appears to be doing it all at once and it's obviously pretty choppy.
View 7 RepliesI 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();

and for some reason not only does it continuously loop but it also adds an additional play every time it loops..

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.

ive created a character loop for two characters that are in a walk cycle. when a button is pressed both characters change animation, now ONE of the characters is doing what i want it to, which is, change from walk to aim, then back to walk. but the other character is going from one animation to the second, and then just continuing to loop the second animation.

I can do basic animation but do not know action scripting. I need make a flash banner loop 3 times then stop.
I am using Flash CS4 and built my entire banner animation on the main timeline.
I want to stop the looping at the end of the movie and then have that movie open up to a different website.When I insert stop action it works. The movie stops.However, whenever I add getURL(http:url]....); The looping continues and never goes to the site.I have tried seperate layers putting each command in a seperate keystone, and I have tried using both of them together.Also I am using CS4 and it gives me an error code for getURL---- The error code says sendtoURL

What I would like to do is stop the loop after the .flv plays 3 times.
I'm working with Flash CS4 on Windows Vista. I made a simple animation. Then, I added a top layer for ACTIONS and added functions at the last keyframe.
The function is-- stop(); --
Should not be hard, could not be more basic then that! Well, it doesn't work. Animation still play as loop.
When I publish my movie to flash 6 using the 2 methods below the code works fine but when I publish this to flash 7 neither method stop the code from going into a loop and eating the cpu when you view the files online.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
easeMove = function (xpos, ypos) { _x += (xpos-_x)/5;_y += (ypos-_y)/5;};[code]....
The same thing happens on mac computers when published to 6 using the flash 7 player
I wasn't sure how to name this thread to well. Here's my funk: I have made a photo slide show and all works well for browsing and viewing. Where I got stuck was when I tried to write code that would center images that were vertical. This is the entire code on the empty mc that has it preload, display then adjust the x of the image. Now, with this code if the image is vertical it flies off the right of the page. haha. sounds fun eh?

Let's say i'm developing a chessgame, that evaluates moves in a while loop. I want the user to stop the game from looping, and give the move she's come up with so far. Just to stop the waiting for the user. I came up with this (the enterframe is there to let it compile):
Code:
firstTime = true;
