I am trying to make an interactive story in Flash CS4, but I am completely new to Actionscript 3.0.
I have an FLV which I want to act as an intro, then when it has finished playing I would like to automatically go to the next frame in the timeline and stop.
I have 2 samples that play with a click on a button, however, I want one of them to stop playing if the other one is played; so that only one sound will ever play at any one time.
View 9 RepliesI am still new to flash and creating button which allows you to click a button to go to that slide. And also have the flash to automatically play/stop. The slideshow will go to the next slide when you click on the picture, but I am in the dark. The flash uses xml to load the picture and I am having a hard time trying to grasp understanding xml.
View 14 RepliesI found this snow script on the web that I would like to use but I don't know how to turn it off.
It starts working when I load the script into frame 1. Then I would like for it to run 150 to 200 or so frames and then I would like for it to stop without using any type of button. I would like for it to just stop automatically after reaching the last frame. A simple stop(); in the last frame doesn't work.
Code:
// max number of snow flakes on screen at once
var nMaxFlakes = 100;
// fastest speed that the snow flakes fall
[Code].....
if it would be possible to control time through ActionScript. What im mean here is that if, let say a certain effect just finished and i want to wait for 5 sec before it automatically jumps to the next specified frame i want to play. would this be possible with AS?? or other techniques maybe?

View 5 RepliesI have an mc placed on the main stage that I'm trying to control through a separate button. I want the mc to play until a certain frame number is reached and then stop. I've got the following actionscript on the button instance:
Code:
on(rollOver){
if (mc._currentframe == 10){
mc.stop()
[Code]....
This is not working at all - the mc is not stopping at frame 10, just looping continuously
I am using this code to start a movie playing. I can't get it to stop on the last frame. It keeps resetting back to the first frame. I have tried this.stop() and gotoandStop() with frame numbers and frame labels but none of that worked.
this.stop();
var myStartButton:StartButton = new StartButton;addChild(myStartButton);myStartButton.x = 284;myStartButton.y = 255;myStartButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMe);

i need to gotoAndPlay then gotoFrame and stop at frameEXAMPLE: gotoAndplay from frame 2 then when it reaches frame 10, i want it to go to the Parent frame with a gotoAnd stop at frame ("willy")so far i have put this script on frame 10 but when it gets to frame 10 it just stops, it does not jump to the parent frame "willy"PLAYS TO FRAME 10 then: gotoAndstop this._parent._parent. ("willy)
View 4 RepliesHow would I do this using actionscript? I was kind of thinking like this:
onClipEvent(enterframe){
if(thecurrentframe=2){
stop();
}}
But I am not completely sure. hat variable would the current frame part be in??
I have a movie clip that loads variables from an XML file. One of those variables is a number between 1 and 100. I have an movie clip file of a "speedometer" that has a needle. The needle is set with a motion tween between frame #1 and frame #100. The number in the XML file is, currently, set to "gotoAndStop" to the corresponding frame # in the speedometer movie clip. What I want to do is for the speedometer to "play" and THEN stop at the frame # that corresponds to what the XML is feeding it. All of this happens "on load". There is no "button" that activates it.
Here's the code I have for the parsing the XML into the speedometer. This is working. I just want it to "play" then "stop".
Code:
var SideGRAPH_01_01:XMLList=contentINPUT_01.StudentRptItemDetailDefinitions.StudentRptItemDetailDefinition.(@StudentRptItemDetailID=="5").(@Seq=="1").attribute("Value");
for each (var GRAPHElement_01_01:XML in SideGRAPH_01_01) {
MovieClip(root).page_01.dashboard.speedometer.gotoAndStop(GRAPHElement_01_01);
}
I have a hard time to find out how I can possibly set my prevFrame(); function to go to previous frame and play instead of stop?My code in the actionscript section (the very 1st line) starts with:[code]
View 8 RepliesI have a animation in my loader_mc that I want to start at one frame and play to it then stop then when you click on it again I want it to play from a certain point. But what is happening is that it will initially do everything it is supposed to but than mess up after the initial 2 clicks. Check out the onRelease event and you will see what I am currently trying to do. [URL]

I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")
[Code] .....
This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.
How to detect the MovieClip playhead that is in play() condition or stop() in one frame?
View 3 RepliesI am currently in the middle of making a "sniping" flash game. In the first level there are a series of moving targets which are also movie clips. Inside the movie clip there is a 7 frame animation of the target exploding. Inside that is a tween of the target moving up and down. And inside that there is a plain old button.
What I want to happen is when you click on the moving target it explodes and brings you to a new frame of the main timeline. (ex. Main Timeline frame #27) But I'm pretty sure it thinks I was to play the seven frame animation of it exploding and then go to frame 27 inside the movie clip, rather then frame 27 on the main timeline.
Here's what my AS looks like on the target (ActionScript 2.0 is what I'm using.)
on (press) {
play();
}
on (release){
gotoAndStop(27)}
So how do I make it explode and then take me to frame 27 on the main timeline?

give 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 RepliesNormally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?

on (press) { // Gives your movie a button functionsgetUrl("http://www.astahost.com");}
on (rollOver) {this._alpha=100;gotoAndPlay("Scene 2"); }

when i play the movie, it plays scene 2, however, scene 2, which is in my flash document, plays automatically. how can i stop this? is there some code which only makes scene 2 play when called for and not play automatically.
is there an action script code that enables the timeline to automatically enter a frame label on entering a certain frame.

I 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.
I imported a video in my "about me" section of my website with a skin chosen from within flash. However, when I click within another section of my website, for example "Home" and go back to the "about me" section, the video starts playing automaticly. If your speakers are turned all the way up, you will jump.
What is the code I need to add to my video's actions layer to stop the video from playing automaticly and give the the user the ability to play the video themselves?
And what would be the code if I wanted to reduce the volume at 50% for example but have the video play automaticly?
It is perfect, except that I'm not sure how to keep it from playing automatically. I tried removing the playSong() part under the loadSong function and it just removes the ability to play the song altogether. Here is the code:
import fl.controls.ComboBox;import fl.data.DataProvider;
///////////////////////////////////Variables/////////////////////////////////var song:Sound;var channel:SoundChannel;var xform:SoundTransform;var

I've used a example mp3 lpayer built in flash to put on my website. I've tweaked it so that it fits my design and it seems to work ok. The problem is the music starts playing automatically where ideally i want it to play when the user hits the play button.
