I need my movie to play to frame 325 (the end ofthe timeline) and then stop instead of loop. When I try to put the stop(); command on a new layer on the original timeline, for some reason it freaks out on me in my current .fla

View 5 RepliesIm attempting to make a preloader. I am very new to action script so this is what i have.
Code:
ifFrameLoaded ( "UC" ) {
gotoAndPlay ( "home" );
}
as simple as it gets, right? Wrong, the preloader works however is get this error 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.
My latest Flash project is almost finished apart from one small but annoying thing. The first frame containing the preloader and no images keeps playing on loop with the rest of the movie, I just want the rest to loop and the preloader to disappear for good when it's finished doing it's preloader thing! I'm guessing there's some actionscript I have to put somewhere to stop the first frame playing on loop, I'm just not sure what or where.
Here is the test page with the flash as header: [URL].
Ive created a banner ad in AS 1.0-2.0. The ad can only loop 4 times then it must stop. The following code does this at frame 170. The timeline is 170 frames in length, and this code is keyframed on an actions layer on frame 170 - however, I'd like the final stopped flash swf file to occur at frame 155. I can't just put this code on frame 155 - it skips a whole section of animation (from frames 155 to 170) that I want to keep in the loops.
loop = loop + 1
if (loop < 4) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
this.stop();
}

How do I program AS3 to tell it to stop on the last frame and not loop? I don't want it to be blank though, I want the last frame to be visable.

View 6 Repliesi have an external video that i have placed in a movie clip. its to be used as a flash banner for a website. my problem is the video plays once and stops... i have no stop code and i have tried a few different actions to make it play. even a simple one like gotoAndPlay (1); etc. i'm using CS4. i've tried using action script 2.0 & 3.0 but no luck.. as well as building script on the movie clip, on a frame and its own layer.
View 1 RepliesI currently have a 23-frame multilayered single-scene animation designed to loop continuously which I would like to add to my portfolio. As such, I am adding a Play button, which I would like to toggle to a Stop (or Pause) button. I currently have an instance of the Play button ("playButton") created.
(You can find this at pineboxmovingco.com/gear_redux.swf)
Besides imploring your assistance in providing the code, I must also ask if this requires (and best practice for) inserting an additional frame at the beginning for the ActionScript, as well as where/what layer to add an instance of the Stop button. I would like the movie to be stopped by default, presenting the Play button, toggling to the Stop button, and back to the Play button, each upon release.
I am trying to get a Flash movie I created to stop looping in my browser AFTER loading it into Dreamweaver. Here's what I've tried:
a) Place an AS3 "Stop();" at the end of the action script for the file (in Flash CS4).
b) Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab unchecked.
c) Open the tandem created .html file in my browser (Firefox)......and the movie plays then stops as hoped
d) Open Dreamweaver CS4
e) Import the swf file into a blank HTML page and Save the file.
f) Test the document in my browser. Movie plays, but the movie continues to loop.
as mentioned above, how can I stop the movie from looping after it's embedded in my web page in Dreamweaver? Is this a Dreamweaver 'problem' rather than a Flash one? The DW help file says to use Flash to control the loop....
I have a movie clip, which is loading a portfolio. A movieclip holding the images drops down into the screen and then when the user clicks the return button within this movie clip, it dispatches an "end" event. In the main timeline, I have put in a gotoAndPlay(frameno); in response to the "end" event.
From this "frameno" the movie plays on and is supposed to come to a stop at the end of the timeline. The problem is that it is ignoring the last stop and jumping back to the first frame of the movie. Also, the stop I placed to let the user browse the images, and listen for the end event, is being ignored and the timeline is proceeding as normal and looping continously.[code]...
I have a .swf that loads into a movie clip in a Flash website. The .swf has all necessary stops to play once and stop once loaded. When tested outside of the movie clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I make this stop looping? (This only happenes to .swf that were made in CS4, doesn't happen with older .swfs that were made in Macromedia)

Have used the preloader at [URL] and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually.

This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.
I have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.
I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.
When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

i have a scrolling image gallery which is a movie clip on one frame and i want it to stop when i navigate to the other frames how can i do this.
View 3 RepliesI know this is very simple bt I dnt know how to do in AS3.
I have to stop a movie clip named handle on a perticular frame. I am using _root.handle.stop();
So what I'd like is for when someone presses the button, it instructs a movie clip to play - all this is based on what day of the month it is..in this example, it's today. The date part of this script works fine. If I just write "if (candleDay =='17') {_root.candles.gotoAndStop(23);}the script works fine...but I'd like the in between stuff. I have the movie clip stopped on frame 1 and I want it to play from frame 2 and stop at frame 23 if it's the 17th...in fact I'll have more if statements to go along with all this, but that's just cut and paste..So, I would like my movie clip, if it reaches a certain frame to STOP. In other words, if it's the 17th, play this movie clip BUT if the movie clip hits frame 23, stop the movie clip....why isn't this working? Here's the script that needs debugging:
on (release) {
candleDate = new Date();
candleDay = candleDate.getDate();

I have an as2 slideshow project that has 3 images that are accessed form the library. The movie consists of 3 frames 1) preloader 2) blank 3) slideshow script and some stage elements. All these images have been exported for AS and exported for frame 3.
Even so the preloader in frame 1 still only flashes up on the screen briefly before the slideshow starts. I have also set the flash publishing to "export frame for classes: 3" as I have read that this may help. This still does not help.
The SWF file is around 1.3MB in size and virtually all of this is being loaded prior to the preloader as the bandwidth profiler reports.
I have attached a link to the CS3 fla file in zipped format so you may test this for yourselves and possibly help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

I'm using the code and assets from this page. [URL] I'm creating ads for websites and they don't allow continual animation after 3 loops. I added to the above code to make it fade at the end. I think I'm close, but it doesn't seem to fade away as I had hoped, it just keeps falling.
Am I missing some code that I need to replace? Do I need to put a frame # somewhere when I want it to fade? Does the last part of the code go on a frame at the end? The snow just keeps falling even though it's reached the last frame. What do I add to make it stop?
Here is the code. The link above will show you exactly the type of animation I'm looking at. I added the fade part after "init ( );"
init = function () {
width = 300;
// pixels
height = 250;
[Code].....
I understand that in order to make it consume less CPU cycles flash player forces the player to only execute at 2fps (or some other ridiculously low amount) when the swf is no longer in focus (or even if it's still "in focus" but not being rendered to the screen by virtue of being in a section of the browser window that's scrolled offscreen.) Is there any possible way to change this? I have a 3D engine that needs to keep the FR up.
