ActionScript 3.0 :: Pause A Movie Timeline (that Had A Few Timers)
Dec 20, 2009
I am not too sure if I can make my problem clear. I wanted to make a simple pause and play button. My main timeline will have a movie (MyMovie) with animations in it, so when I pause, I will need to pause it as well. At first, I did not have any problem, as I could just pause using both using stop() and Mymovie.stop() as well as with play() and MyMovie.play() in the main timeline.
However, after that, I used a timer in some frames in Mymovie. May I know how I can go about it? No matter how I tried, the timer will ask the movie to continue playing even with the pause button pressed once it starts. How can I ask the timer within the movie to stop?

I have been trying to create a play/pause button for the main timeline in my flash movie. Created a movie clip with 1st frame - a pause graphic, then on 2nd frame - play graphic, labelled the frames 'pause' and 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip. Then put the following code in the actions layer of the main timeline (and gave instance name of 'ppBtn' to the movieclip):
var pp:Boolean = true;
function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {
if(pp) {
stop();
event.target.gotoAndStop('pause');
[Code] ....
It works in stopping and starting the movie but the actual movieclip doesn't toggle between the pause and the play graphics (just stays on the 'pause' state - 1st frame).

OK from the title you can tell I'm now a AS3 newbie. Its a shame because I was good intermediate at AS2 and all of a sudden I'm back at square one - and I'm no programmer so there's little chance of me learning AS3.
1) Back to the problem. I used to control events on my timeline with simple timers and such, utilising code like: _parent.MC1.Play(); Now that doesnt work, _parent and .root are gone, and I can't even get basic things to work anymore. I want to do is advance "MC1" to the next frame.
2) Is there a *simple* reference/summary of what happened to my old AS2 commands somewhere.

In a game I'm making the timers that I use go one speed when I run it by pushing Ctrl-Enter in Flash but when I run the external .swf file created, the timers go considerably slower.I have managed to work around this by making the timers reset at lower intervals but I would rather not have to resort to this.

The main timeline has a movie that consists of three frames that are supposed to hold while a sound clip plays. I was thinking of having a timer for each of the three frames instead of putting like 600 frames in the movie. I did it this way in those three frames, just changing the timer variables[code]...

Is there an easy actionscript that can be added to the main timeline to delay playing and wait at that point in the timeline for a few seconds and then continue to play? Sounds easy but I've yet to see an example of such.

I am trying to just have a Pause button appear in frame 620 of my timeline and users can click this to pause the timeline if they want to slow down and read my text. However, with the below code, I get an error message of:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame620()
Here is my code on frame 620
//Pause Button code
btnPause.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopLoop);
function stopLoop(evtobj:MouseEvent):void{
stop();
}
The music and sounds continue, but the graphics and text stop progressing.

I have a 4 1/2 minute Flash Demo: first minute is Intro Flash animation, next 3 minutes is a progressive video with a FLV playback component, and last 30 seconds is conclusion Flash animation. When I press the pause button on the FLV it pauses the video but the main time line continues to play in the back ground so that the last 30 seconds will play no matter what the stat of the FLV. If the FLV is paused the conclusion will just start to play when it reaches that part of the timeline or worse if you pause the FLV and resume it after say 30 seconds the video and the last scene sound plays at the same time at the end of the video. I have a toggle play/pause button on the intro animation that works fine and the FLV play/pause works but I don't know how to pause the end of the timeline when the FLV is paused.

I have a project that has an event sound (a narration) in the timeline.
I need to have buttons that pause and resume this narration, but for some reason I can't seem to find any information on it.
Everything I find online calls an external mp3 and I can't do that because of server restrictions.
I can stop all sounds, but then it doesn't resume from where I left off.
I do also have an AS Linkage name, but I can't seem to get this to pause and resume.

I'm trying to pause and resume sounds my movie. I came across this helpful write-up for pausing/resuming via Sound objects. My question is whether it is possible to pause/resume sounds associated with keyframes in the timeline. I know I can stop/pause them by creating a Sound object associated with _root, but when I go to resume them, it waits until it hits the next keyframe to play the next sound. Is it possible to resume keyframe-based sounds, or instead of dragging those sounds on the timeline should I assign them to sound objects instead?

I have a swf that has embedded audio on the swf's timeline which is set to Stream. This swf is then loaded into my main flash timeline via the loader class. I have a button coded as a toggle switch that pauses the loaded swf via the stop() and play() command. This works fine. The issue is that when the swf is paused (stop()), the audio is longer heard, but it continues to play. When I press my toggle switch again, the swf begins to play exactly where it was paused and the audio is now heard, but the issue is that the streaming audio is now out of sync since the swf timeline paused, but the audio continued to play. Is it possible to stop or pause the embedded audio on the timeline? I've tried looking at the SoundMixer static class, but this doesn't seem to help. I can use SoundMixer.stopAll(), but there's no way to start the audio again.

I've got a Flash file with a video symbol on the stage with the instance name 'videoPlayer'. I'm controlling video playback using the following script to play the video, check when it finishes, then resume playing the rest of the timeline:
stop();
var duration:Number = 0;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns);
[Code]....
I've then also got 2 buttons on the stage for pause and play. The pause button is working fine, with the following script attached to it:

I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2.0. I have a flash timeline that shows 4 tabs and cycles through them. There is also a play/pause button. My issue is that when you click one of the tabs, you start the timeline up again, but the play/pause button doesn't reset. I have the full Flash file, as well, if needed. [URL]

I have a series of movies I'm creating that have streaming audio with animation synced to the audio. I was wondering if there is a component out there, or an FLA, that is a scrubber control bar like the one you see in Articulate Flash presentations, or video.I need it to control the main timeline.I have searched google for a while now and I can't seem to find one.

I have found a generic recursive loop that stops/pauses all child movieclips. If I change stop to play in the code, it plays all child movieclips simultaneously. I want it to resume only one animation at a time. I want a generic recursive loop that resumes animation from last position (position it was paused) irrespective of whether I have paused on the main timeline animation or animations within child movieclips or animations within grandchild movieclips. (I have animations on main timeline, animations within lastFrame MC of maintimeline, and again within last frame MC of child's timeline).[code]...

I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.

My question is about embedding flash video on a webpage, if I set the movie to only start if the end user clicks the play button then does it still load in the browser? My first thoughts are that it still does load the movie as soon as the person clicks on the page (I am using progressive download) but my manager wants lots of flash movies on a page but I am reluctant to do this if all the movies are going to download on the client as this would make the page unbearably slow.

I'm trying to get my flash movie so that it pauses when the mouse is over the movie and continues when the mouse is not over the movie during certain segments of frames in my movie clip. So basically I need some code that executes this: if the mouse is over the stage between frame 25 and 45 pause the movie until the mouse leaves the stage or the next or back buttons are selected.
