ActionScript 2.0 :: Unstoppable Looping With Variable?
Sep 18, 2008
So I'm trying to clean up some banners I've worked on to put in my portfolio online, and the banner itself sits inside a "shell", so when called for, it loads into an empty mc. This is actually the method I prefer instead of loading it into levels. That's the setup, here's the problem.The banner itself has some repetitive action set up through a variable that if a certain action happens 3x, then move on to the next sequence and play out the rest of the timeline, otherwise go back and do the action until it occurs said 3x.
That part works fine. What happens at the end is that the variable hasn't "cleared", so once it hits the final frame, without doing anything or clicking on the "replay" button, it goes back to the first frame, and as a matter of fact, the action starts playing automatically instead of when the user clicks the "go" button.On an odd occurrence, when this has occurred within the shell of my portfolio link, it causes everything in the shell to "act screwy", playing everything at a faster frame rate, (that may be unrelated), but also making the main flash movie shell start from the very beginning.Like I said, I worked on this project, though I didn't do all the coding, so the part with the variable and how it affects the rest of the playback I can't control, nor know the first thing of how to fix it, (though I've tried).

I'm sure it's possible I'm just writing it wrong. Can anybody clue me in the correct way of writing it? I get compiler errors this way...
ActionScript Code:
for(b=0; b<=15; b++)
{
var ["ping" + b]:Boolean = false;
}

I'm trying to express this syntax:
Code:
container0.picture._alpha = 0;
by looping through a variable named "p", like this:
Code:
["container"+p]picture._alpha = 0;
But I get no result (and no error message).

Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
if (userWord.text == word){
score = score + 1;
trace(score);
}
That will constantly add one to "score" when a certain word is typed into a text box. How do I add one to "score" without stopping the application or playing it once?

can't figure out why the dynamic text boxes in my dynamic clip arent picking up the variable when I loop through this recordset!the trace (you'll see here right after I try two ways to assign the variable) traces the correct info back..

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

I'm a newbie at Flash...and have a main movie that I would like to load external movies into..for ease of modification of the different areas vice having one large swf.I'm using the loadMovieNum command to load the external swf's just fine. When I play the external swf's by themselves...they play once and stop. When they are loaded into the main movie...they loop.I've placed a "stop();" command at both the frame in the main movie...and also on the line directly after the loadMovideNum line.

I have many movieclips on stage, let's say 100.Rather than setting onRelease or OnPress function for each one, is there any way of looping through all the movie clips (maybe if they were called MC1 MC2 MC3 MC4 etc etc), using an array, to see which one was pressed and then say what should happen if so and so MC was pressed.
Depending on which MC is pressed a variable will be a different number... e.g. MC1 pressed means variableA = 1, MC1 pressed means variableA = 2, MC1 pressed means variableA = 3 etc
I just thought there would be a more intelligent solution than writing out this 100's of times: MC[numberOfMC].onPress = function() { do something };

I am adding an 6 minute audio to a flash website and want it to loop. It is a 6,000 kb size file .mp3 audio stream and audio event are set the same at, bit rate of 16kbps mono and a 60 second play time, however it loops after abt 17 seconds. I have set the sync to stream and loop. Code is simply Play(); The timeline is set to 405 frames at 24 fps. I have tested the original and it is fine and plays well when not in flash.

I have a sliding menu with buttons - each button calls an external swf - which plays in an empty movie clip.Now, I want the current loaded swf to loop till the time the user clicks on another button. The problem is, I do not have the fla files for any of the external swfs (these are screencam recordings using a software that does not publish .fla) - so I can't put a code at the end of each external swf asking it to not stop.

I am fairly new to AC and have some questions about a project. I am creating a gallery with images tweening from one to the other. I have the animation working but it will not loop as expected.
1) The images are loaded dynamically via the below code.
2) The main stage uses stop(); and all mc's except the gallery mc will loop as expected.[code]...

I have created a looping movie clip which I want playing in the background of my main movie which has multiple scenes. Obviously I cant drop it on the timeline in each scene as then when it skips scenes the movie reloads and there is a jerk on the screen. Is there a piece of actionscript that I can point to my SWF and just have it looping throughout the whole movie?

Im having trouble getting my head around writing script for looping certain layers of a fla file.I have a project that I urgently need to finish and can't figure out how to achieve what I need.I have an fla file that has several animated layers.I want layer 1 to play once and stop while continuing to be visible (which I have achieved).I then need to play layer 2, layer 3 and layer 4, and loop these layers continuosly without relooping layer 1.

I'm trying to loop a Flash Banner ad. I added the code to the first and last frames on a separate action layer on the main timeline, but it's not working.
I'm using actionscript 2.0/CS4.
I have a stop action on the last frame of the last text movieclip that plays. And it seems to get hung up here. When I remove the stop action it just loops that movieclip and not the whole animation.
This is the code I'm using in the first frame of the main timeline.
> var counter:Number = 0
And this is the code I'm using in the last frame of the main timeline:
> // if its being used on the last frame use a stop(); action on the top line
> if (counter < 3) {
>counter++
> gotoAndPlay(1)
> }

I'm brand new to flash so cut me a little slack. I'm in the middle of building a website in Flash CS4 in Action Script 3.0 and (according my the tutorial I'm using) I need to access the "parameters" panel. The problem is I don't see it anywhere. I see "properties" and "filters" but to parameters. I've cycled through all the workspace presets but with no luck. How can I bring it up?? Also, even though I used the "stop();" code in the beginning of my actions frame my movie just keeps looping when I test it.

I have created a submit button and the text goes up when the mouse is over the button, but when I go to test the movie it seems to be on a loop and I can't see away to stop the text from looping. I found loop on the control panel but when I remove the tick there is no change and the movie continues to loop. There is no action scripts applied to the button yet.I am at the moment trying to get my head around action scripts so I am a complete beginner at this.
