ActionScript 2.0 :: Stopping An If Statement?

May 23, 2003

i'm trying to keep my animations processor-friendly, so i'm trying to figure out ways to stop algorithmic animations once they've finished--can someone tell me if the else stop();i've put in here does the trick, or will this keep evaluating on every enterFrame?

PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){if (myAlpha <=100){myAlpha=myAlpha +1;this._alpha=myAlpha;}else stop();}

Stopping A Flv Using A Conditional Statement?

May 26, 2009

I have FLV files that continue playing when I leave the frame that they are on. I can stop the playing FLV by putting this code on the following frame:
 
if (demo.playing) {  demo.stop();}
 
Where .demo is the name of the instance of the .flv component.
 
Here is the problem - I have many frames with many flvs, and when I tell flash to stop multiple FLVs, for instance:

if (demo.playing) {  demo.stop();}
if (demo2.playing) {  demo2.stop();}

I get this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
 
As far as I know, flash is telling me that since the instance of "demo2" has not started playing yet (ex. the user only went to the page with the "demo" flv, but not the "demo2" flv yet) that flash has no idea what demo2 is yet. I thought using a conditional statement would remedy this, but I suppose the .swf can't stop playing something it does not yet know exists.

Is there any way I can introduce all of the flv's at the beginning of the file, yet not have them play and not have flash "forget" about them so that I can stop them using the code above? Or is there a way to have the conditional statement not error in the event that the referenced instance has not yet been "introduced"?

I really wish they would have added an "exit frame" command in AS 3.0...

Stopping A Flv Using A Conditional Statement If The FLV Is Playing?

May 25, 2009

How would you stop an FLV using a conditional statement where the condition is if the FLV is playing?

I'm using AS 3.0. My best shot was this:
 
if (demo.flv == play){ demo.flv.stop();  }
 
I'm sure the "== play" part is wrong, but I cannot find the correct code that checks to see if the video is currently playing.
 
My flv component does have an instance name of "demo". The command "demo.flv.stop(); works fine as a non-conditional, but the flv is not always playing with my navigation set-up when you land on the frame with the code, so I need a conditional.

ActionScript 2.0 :: First Requirement Of The If Statement When Type In The Proper Input And Go Straight To The Else Statement

I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
 
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
 
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Data From XMl File And Uses It To Run An If Statement. If Statement Fails?

Oct 10, 2008

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);

Heres the code:

Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {

[code]....

The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

I want it to while still easing into place like the iphone does. For example my stage is 550px. The drag and throw MC is 1650. That's 550x3. If the first image is showing starting at x axis 0 and you drag to the left it will ease into place stopping and showing the second image stopping the image at x axis 0. And the same thing scrolling to the next one and scrolling back. So the code is below and I've attached the movie that I'm working on.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use A For Statement To Create An If Statement

Jul 12, 2010

what I'm trying to do is create an else if argument for each object in an array based on a user set number

Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}

to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:

Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}

the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?

Flash8 :: Stopping The Map At Impact

May 10, 2009

Basicly its simply a world map with a character in the middle. You move around with the arrow keyes (in reality you move the map around and the character stays in the middle) and at certain impact you walk into houses etc etc. To accomplish this i have a movie clip in the middle named "man" and a map movie clip beneath it with the following code:

[Code]...

So far so good and no problems. This is what i need help with: I can't seem to get the "main" map to stop moving at certain points when it impacts the "man". In essence there are lakes and mountains that the character cannot cross when when he hits these i want the speed X to be 0 so to say. Im uploading my example here. It's when the movieclip in the root named "man" hits the purple line in the map movieclip its speed should go 0. Ive tried around with hittests (the code is still in the code) but i can't get it to work.

Sound Not Stopping During Testing?

May 23, 2009

I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Mac (windows i'm sure i can figure out how to fix it on the mac version)I'm trying to sync some animation to sound, and my sound is all in one big file. I'm wanting to go through frame by frame and tweak it (Yes, it's a frame by frame animation, no tweening here don't ask why, it's just not), anyways, I keep trying to use the "Control -> Play" button to keep playing the sound from the area I'm working on so I don't have to start at the beginning everytime. After I hear the section I want, I want to just push "stop" and everything stop, including the audio. It would stop everything before, but now it's not stopping the audio so it will just keep playing even though I had hit stop.?

Frame Stopping One From Too Late?

Dec 28, 2009

I have a simple flash movie that contains multiple frames which make up the sections of a simple site. I have built the navigation so that when you click a button, the movie advances to the proper frame/section. So far so good.My problem is that when I get to the FAQ section of the site, the movie clip that makes up the faq answers plays to the second frame, not the first. The first frame of the movie clip has a stop action in the actionscript, as does the second. But no matter what I do, any time it loads, it quickly plays to Frame 2. I do have buttons that play different frames of this movie clip, but they are attached to mouse over events and nothing else.

Swf In Flv Not Stopping, Video Keeps Playing?

Jun 4, 2010

I'm making a basic flash website, and have already created the site structure, but I'm having trouble adding FLV and SWF, as they aren't responding as I would like.

1) I have built a basic flash photo gallery, and it works great. I have exported the SWF, but when I add that to my main sites keyframe, it plays non stop, and the buttons on that embedded SWF don't work.

2) After adding a FLV video to a keyframe, it works as I would like. Except that when I click to another keyframe after starting the video, it keeps playing. How would I be able to pause/stop the video if a navigation button to other keyframes are clicked.

Starting And Stopping Video And MP3

Aug 5, 2009

I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stopping A URLloader?

Mar 26, 2010

I'm building a portfolio website and I'm using URLloaders to load new content.I want the user to be able to change the content they're loading before it completes. aka, stop the current load and load something else.
 
Adobe Actionscript 3.0 reference says I can use the following:"Use the unload() method to remove movies or images loaded  with this       method, or to cancel a load operation that is in progress."
 
Here's what I have (my attempt to stop the loader is in bold):
 
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newPage);
function newPage(e:MouseEvent):void {    loaderState=true;    newDescription();
if (loading){

[code]....

I'm getting the following error on loader.unload(req);  :  "1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0."I've also tried just using loader.unload(); but it doesn't work - the url loader just continues to load and doesn't load the new content.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stopping .flv When Navigating?

Oct 5, 2010

I'm trying to teach myself actionscript 3 and going insane over an issue with an .flv video that I can't stop.
 
The problem I'm having is that I can't make video (an .flv within the "FLVPlayback" component set as a movie clip) stop when navigating to another tab. Navigating away from and back to my video page/frame even results in 2 audio streams playing simultaneously. I think the problem lies with me not being able (or knowing how) to identify the video/movie clip with "(name)".stop();

Here's the source file (the first and last navigation tabs on the left are complete, video is on the last tab) SOURCE:

and my code (all my references to the FLVPlayer/video were wrong so I've removed them to try again) -
