ActionScript 3.0 :: Get A Movie Clip To Loop A Specific Number Of Times In Flash?
Jul 8, 2011
Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.

I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

i'm having trouble finding the answer to a simple (I hope) question. I made a flash banner and have successfully added an action that will loop it 3 times, stopping on the last frame. Here is the code I entered in a separate action layer:
INSERTED A KEYFRAME IN FRAME 1:
if (numberOfTimesToLoop<3) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
numberOfTimesToLoop++;

I have a banner with 4 MCs in it. Right now it starts automatically and loops endlessly. I would like the animation to play through 2 times, jump to frame 60 of the first MC and stop.

I've got a simple flash-based .exe that I'd like to load and play a move between a certain time of day. For example, the loaded movie should play everyday between noon-1pm and 2am-3am. The movie should then unload and go back to the original movie at the end of each time period. How and the world do I write the script for this?

I have this animated block that I want to use multiple times in a scene. Everything looks fine until I move the background(separate layer) with a tween. The second it moves it shows only one animating block instead of 4. Also, if I click on "show this layer only" it only shows the one block.So how can I use this movie clip multiple times?

I am trying to animate this piece with frames.
Basically, I have adrop down menu, which contains about 20 buttons. Each button is set to _root.Keys_MC.gotoAndPlay("frame label"); a specific from within the Keys_MC which is on the main timeline.
The problem is, no matter which one I click, it always links me to the first frame of that movie clip.

I am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

I created a loop that adds the same movie clip 22 times inside of another movie clip and pushed it into an array in order to control it later. But i can't seem to find away to remove those children from the movie clip... is there a way to remove all children of a specific movie clip? I tried to create another loop but i cant remove the children using removeChild(arr[i]);
