ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Pause Or Interrupt Loading
Nov 14, 2011
I've been working on a flash project which needs to load external images for a web.The web will need to display an image one at a time, and so if i click on a thumbnail, an image will start to load. If the user decides to click on another thumbnail to open another images, it must interrupt or pause the loading, so another loader can load the new image, so the previous image is not displayed.The problem is, when i tried to interrupt the loader, the first loader didn't stop loading the image, instead it loads the image together with the second preloader.I've tried using loader. close(), but it does not stop the loading.Also tried using loader.unloadAndStop(), but in my understanding is that loader wont unload its content BEFORE it completes loading.Is there any other way to stop the loader from completing and replace it with the new loading process?

The simplified code:
//triggered on MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN
private function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drag);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, endDrag);
[Code] .....
I am using some click-and-drag techniques within my flash code, and I've noticed some loopholes with the MOUSE_UP event:
-It wont be triggered if a context menu is activated while the mouse is still held down.
-It wont be triggered if the window is deactivated (alt+tab or similar)
What other events can possibly interrupt the MOUSE_UP event and lead to unexpected behavior? Additionally is there a way to generically catch ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT for all context menus without having to manually add/remove the listeners to each context menu?

Suppose I have 5 links that load different SWF files. I'm loading the first one in the background and I will continue to load the other SWFs once the previous one has completed.Suppose a user clicks link 4 but only SWFs 1 and 2 have been fully loaded and SWF 3 is currently being loaded. Would it be possible to pause loading 3 and skip to part 4 and finish loading that?

I have a timeline of 30 frames, each it's own mc (page01_mc, etc.). In each mc I show a picture or two and hear narration.I have a first, prev and next nav on the main timeline. I need to add a play/pause btn that will pause both pictures and sound. I assume I do that in each mc, but do not know where to find the code.Here is what is in each mc now:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("english/Intro01.mp3"));
mySound.play()

Let's say function foo() is executing. Suppose that an external event occurs, for which you have a handler. Will function foo() be interrupted so that the event handler can be executed? What is the order of execution in this situation?

I'm just curious about the implementation of timers as flash is single threaded.If a timer event should fire, does it interrupt the current executing code, fire the event and then go back, or does it do something else?

new to AS3 and starting with an ambitious project for my father in law's website. I don't want anyone to write the code for me, but I was hoping to explain what I'm trying to do and have some more experienced coders drop some keywords, pointers on how they would code it.I want to have a movie clip of a gunsight/scope thingy moving around a map, pausing once in a while. When it pauses, some text will come up that says "Searching...Found" and then a picture of a car will appear for a couple seconds.Now, I can animate all this in the timeline easily. But, here's where I'm getting held up: Across the top of the map, there will be a menu. On each button, when you hover over it, I want the gunsight to stop what it's doing, move to the center of the map and expand to show a picture that is related to the specific menu button. When the mouse rolls off, the animation reverses and the gunsight returns to the original looping animation (either starting over at the beginning or returning to where it was before the roll over).Is this going to be really complicated? Do I need to code the original looping animation to for actionscript to pull the gunsight from where ever it is on the map and smoothly move it to the center, or is there a way to pull it away from it's current location?

I want to know if is possible to stop the streaming background download of a youtube video.
I add the video in this mode [code]...
i noted that once i removed the video from my project, the streaming download of the video continue in background... I realize that because next time that i re-add the video into mastermc, download go slowly than the first time.
Then is possible to interrupt the streaming download?

Does someone know a script to redirect to a different swf from another one after a certain amount of time without action?
The setting is: overview.swf links 1.swf until 13.swf via LoadMovieNum(link, 0). After 5 minutes without click (the applications runs on a touch screen). I'd like to redirect to 1.swf from whereever the user went inthe meantime. It's no big deal putting a script into each of the files.

i have this (becoming-abnoxious) client, for which i make a video player (using the NetStream class), who came out today requesting that instead of starting to load the video only when the user clicks the 'play button, he want the video to begin downloading as the player loads (before the user clicks the 'play' button), but only the first 10 minutes of video (most of his videos are long, even up to an hour), and after that the loading will pause, and will resume (from the same point of course) after 3:30 minutes if the user doesn't click the 'play' button in the meanwhile.
i told him no-can-do: i can pause the download after (give-or-take) 10 minutes of video were downloaded, but once the downloading resumes it will start from squqre-one (using what has downloaded to the browser's cache). his reply for that was 'i don't take no for an answer, find a way'.before i give him the 'no-can-do' again, is there anybody who think that my client request is doable?

I am going out of my mind trying to get this to work. I can do it in AS2 without a hitch - but not AS3. I just need to load an external swf file into an empty movieclip. Then I have 2 buttons play and pause that need to be on the top layer of the new movie and they need to play and pause the loaded swf file. I have tried a number of things and nothing is working.

I have a question in Flash play/pause button. I have created a flash slideshow which was exceeding 16000 frames, so I've split the movie into two. I'm loading the second movie at the end of the main movie using loadMovieNum. I have placed the play/pause button in the main movie which works fine until the second movie loads. This used to work for me in the older version of Flash (flash 8).I'm using CS4 now.

This is the set up so far. Loader1, is playing till home.swf is loaded. I am using the loadClip function for it. onLoadProgress plays the first bit of Loader1.
What I want to do is within onLoadInit() = function(_mc:MovieClip) {
root.ldr1.addEventListener("played", function() {_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);}); // add listener to Loader 1
_mc.stop();
[Code]....
The problem is that it is not playing the function. Also _mc.stop(); is not stopping the loaded file. It keeps playing, though _mc._alpha is working fine.
How can I make sure the event is being dispatched?? Home.swf ( the _mc being loaded), is within a separate movieclip, over the loader.

I have some banners I am doing right now and have a pause timer question. I am fairly green at coding. In my first frame I have this:
[Code]...
I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.

I am using Macromedia Flash Pro 8. I have a flash intro that has words (phrases) which slide in. I would like to add a 7 second pause between each phrase to give people time to read them (no buttons). Could someone tell me the script(s) to use with all functions, etc. included - as I am so new to all this. I have been looking for weeks & tried many codes but none seem to work - or I don't know exactly where to place them - or both

I have written the game. It starts at once, when running the program. EVERYTHING works in one Document Class. Now, I want to do some basic intro, for example, animated countdown before the game starts. How can I kinda pause the game? there is only one frame on the main timeline which contains the background.

Im an Industrial Design student that has never really used any Flash before but need to use it now to mock up an interface design for a product/service I'm developing for my major project.
So far, in ActionScript 2.0, I have a picture of a TV and remote control and intend to design the interface over the top of the television picture and highlight buttons on the remote beside it, that the moderator can click to navigate around it.
To get across the idea that the interface pops up over the existing moving television picture I have imported an FLV of some television ads. My problem is that I want the Flash animation (everything but the FLV if you like) to pause and not loop, and the FLV to continue playing (and looping) in the background, but can't figure out how to do it. Ideally the FLV needs to continue playing, seamlessly behind the interface after the next button is clicked etc.
Wherever I seem to put a stop(); action it'll stop everything, including the FLV, and if I just extend the timeframe to the length of the video, it'll still stop at the end or just loop to the beginning of the entire SWF.

I'm working on a flash gaming site, BeardedGames.com. I just recently implemented a "Panic" button that makes the entire site display: none and display: block's a iframe with a allowed in school website of the user's choice.It works well so far, but the user's flash game still runs in the background while hidden. Is there a way to pause (not reset) the game, that will work on most, if not all, flash games? It needs to be accessible from javascript (possibly just javascript, or a flash wrapper?), and it has to work in IE 6 and greater (I know... I know. Can't help it.).Failed to make it clear that the user must be able to "un-pause" their game after the unpanic button is pressed.I haven't made these games, these are already made games like linerider.

I am trying to do something I thought would be very simple. It has turned into a much more difficult exercise. I simply want to use this flash movie at Code:[URL] as an index page of site. When the movie has ran, I want to pause for 3 or 4 seconds and then go to the next page of web site (in other words, go to a specific URL).
