View 4 Repliesgive me the actionscript for a bar that has a play and stop button to play and stop frames in a flash movie. i would be gratefull if you could as i am really stuck
View 2 RepliesI just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.
Is it possible to play and stop a number of frames later, without using stop() in the frames? Like when I click a button frame 20 will start playing and it stops 30 frames later, all defined by the actions of the button..

View 3 RepliesI have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...

I have 5 boxes on the stage as movie clips, each one with the same animation waiting to be targeted. What I need is a random script that will make them play in "random" order. This should occur after a few seconds of inactivity where they each play, but once there's mouse movement, whichever ones did animate should "reset" or play back to their original positions, (assuming there's more boxes and there's movement before all of them play). I have some code in there for arrays and some random script that isn't working right now. I just need the random setup, really. I may be able to figure out the time delay, (maybe), and then be able to tweak the rest of it for how I need. Right now, I've just simplified everything in a 5 box example hoping someone might be able to work with what I have.
View 6 RepliesI have modified the original to include more head shots accompanied by audio clips. I have worked out the playing of the clips on release. I realize now that people may not want to listen to entire clip. Each mug shot serves as the button to hear the person talk. I do not know how to modify the button code for it to be a toggle. I guess it would need to be some kind of "play if, stop if" The only part of concern is loading playing the the audio, no changes need to be made to the rollover functionality.
mugWidth = 60; //change these if you change the size of your mugshots
mugHeight = 60; //change to your mugshot height
//instantiate sound and textformat classes

how would you play the next 5 frames if the space bar was clicked and then stop the playhead?

View 2 RepliesMy game is simple game where you are a block at the bottom of the screen and you have to move side to side to avoid larger blocks that are falling from above. Now the only problem is that i am very nw to action script so i have no idea of the code i need to insert in my MC. So far i have been able to make the players block move from side to side with the arrow keys and make a block fall from the top with this very pathetic script i found out:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(EnterFrame) {
this._x += 5
}
I was wondering if anyone could give me some code so that the players block will stop moving when it hits the side of the stage and that the block that falls down will apper at the top again but with a random Y position on the stage.
i successfully got the random tuorial working. now i'm lokking for a function for a button to stop and start the random movement at will. i dont want to change frames, im just need a function to break the movement and make the mcs stay put...
View 2 RepliesI want a different movie clip to play each time the swf file is loaded.

I recently came across this script which I believe I have used before. However, I can seem to recall how to use it right as I can't get it to work. It is suppose to play the frames at random and not repeat any. Once that takes place I want it continue that cycle over and over. [code]...

Currently I have to create a website where some videos should be played automatically.
When a User opens the URL and lands on the page, a random video of a total of 5 should be played. When the video is finished, it should chose another video of the total of 5 videos.
So an example: It should chose one video of 5 videos. Play it, then it should chose 1 video of 4 videos, then it should chose 1 video of 3 videos..and so on. And after all 5 are played, it should repeat the process.[code]...
The user has the option of playing random loading random swf files. I would also like the user to play the previous swf that loaded but don't know where to start. [code]...

I figured I screwed something up since it was my first project, and ignored it -[code]...

View 8 Repliesim working on a maths style jigsaw, and ive come across a problem of sorts, ive set random1_txt.text to 1 and random1_txt.text to 2 for testing, basically i want to randomise two textfields between 1 and 10, and also randomise the sign between either a - or a +
the answer can be computed by flash, now what i need it to do is stop on the frame number of the answer in answer_mc, these frames contain graphics of all numbers 1-20 in alpha format, this is so that the answer is in place, now the user can drag and drop movieclips into the answer box, and receive a correct or incorrect response
im at a loss on how to do this, i havent gotten around to randomising the sign as of yet i need to do more research but the general idea is as above
Code:
var startX:Number; //start of draggable piece
var startY:Number;
random1_txt.text = "1"

I have 30 sound clips, each named s1, s2, s3 etc...
i want to create an array so when it enters the frame it will play a random sound from the array.
