I created a slideshow in flash cs4 that continues to play infinitely. I am looking for a strip of coding to stop the movie on a thumbnail click, so the pictures can just be browsed through instead of playing automatically. The problem is, if I set autoplay to false, then it doesn't play at all. I want it to play automatically until someone clicks on a thumbnail.The coding needed is below.
var auto_play:Boolean = true; // true (OR) false
var auto_play_duration:Number = 6400; // 1 second equals 1000
var folder:String = "photos/";
I just want to play and stop my movie on a key click.I don't want to have the drop menu open and have the user click 'play'. Isn't there some way they can just press any key and the animation will progress forward?
I have a presentation which is one movie clip in one frame on the main timeline. The movie clip has quite a lengthy timeline. What I need to do is stop the movie at a frame then play on mouse click and in some cases gotoandplay, then stop again. There are no other movie clips inside the main movie clip and I want there to be no buttons. Just proceed to the next bit on mouse click.

I am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped. I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
Two questions; 1. Am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)? 2. If my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?
I have a flash animation with three different icons which play individual audios.
In one of the movies called 'bird' that I want to stop, I have in the first frame following code.
Code: x = new Sound(); x.loadSound("mp3/cocky.mp3", true); which works fine.
This movie 'bird' is then inside another movie called 'container' , any everything then sits in one scene.
In the movie 'container' I have three buttons which play individual sounds using same 'x.loadSound("...' method.
You first see and hear the animation of the 'bird' and it's sound playing straight away. After a 30 sec sound and the animation stops.
All working so far fine up to this point... But What I need is , when the user clicks on one of the other buttons to play the sound WHILE the 'bird' is still playing, I want to stop the 'bird ' animation.
At the moment it stops the sound of the 'bird' but NOT the 'bird' animation. Naturally If I wait 30 sec 'bird' animation stops and no problems there after. Only if and when user clicks before the 'bird ' animation is the problem.
i am doing a simple project in which i have 2 frames in the main time line and a movieclip in the first frame and a button.i have something else in the second frame.when i click the button the movieclip should start after it ends the timeline should move to second frame and stop.
I was certain that this type of problem would have been previously discussed here or in a tutorial. I have looked quite a bit and could not find anything that puts all the pieces of my puzzle together.As the movie is playing (looping), I would like the movie to stop at the current frame whenever I click and hold the mouse down within the area of the container. Furthermore, I would like to be able to scrub the movie backward if I drag my mouse to the left within the container and as I reach the left end of the container, the movie is at the first frame. And similarly, I would like to scrub forward if I drag to the right within the container and as I reach the right end of the container, the movie is at the last frame. On top of this daunting task, I would like the movie to resume playing from wherever I have released the mouse.
Here is a file that I have started and I am pretty much at a loss as to where to go now. I know it has something to do with where the mouse is relative to either side of the container, but...how does one get it to work?Basically, I would like to emulate the functionality of the QuickTime Player - the one where you can grab the slider and drag it left or right to scrub in either direction and then upon release of the slider it resumes playing.I do not understand the media components in MX 2004, maybe this type of thing is "easy" to program in to one of those modules?
i created a two layer in time line in one layer there is a movieclip called mc1. In the same layer in 15th frame i have another movie clip mc2. Inside the movieclip mc2 i created another movie clip at frame10 now if i clik the the mc1 on first frame The movie clip should goto and stop at tenth frame
I have four movie clips (.f4v) in 4 frames in a movie with watch buttons.. This movie has them been imported into a main movie container that has next and previous buttons. However if i play a movie then hit next frame, the movie continues to play in the background. The code below shows one of the actionscripts for a movie clip and then the main actionscript in the main movie.[code]...
I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.
what wrong with the functin 'stopFish' Without this function the fish in the tank swims but when I add it, it doesnt anymore. I just want the fish to stop swimming after I clicked it and start swimming after another click.
I have read all threads and can not find a solution but i am not somebody with a lots of knowledge about actionscript so here is my problem i am using this script .
[code]....
the problem is that when i click on the first button loads ok but when click on second still showing the first movie clip in the back ,,,,, i have try everything without luck ,,,, i guess i need to keep reading but will like to find an answer to this situation ,
I would like to know how to make it so when you click a button, it goes to a different frame within a MOVIE CLIP. Kind of like gotoAndPlay but not a frame in the timeline. I would like it to move to a different frame in a movie clip.
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.
I'm making a website using flash,And on my movie it says Welcome to Blah Blah Blah,And then a button appears, To make sure my button works,The writing turns to bold and goes bigger,When the button appears it works and goes bigger, Until it reaches the point in the timeline where it has stop();It stops my movie from looping or restarting which is what i want, But it stops my buttons from working aswell, How to keep my button working but movie stops,If you want me to explain more just ask
I have a goofy issue going on with a drag/drop scroller. When i stop dragging the following onEnterFrame will not clear/stop unless you click on the movieclip again, then it clears.
Can one of you coder minded people see anything wrong with this? It works great, but i need it to clear as it's taking up that precious memory [code]...
I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?
I need to add ac2 to a movie clip. When the movie clip is clicked on I want it to play and when it is clicked again that it will stop. This is the code that I have on the button already - onClipEvent(enterFrame) { this._rotation += 5}
All I want to do is stop on a frame then click on an object and progress to another frame. MX was simple to perform this, with cs4 it seems to be a mine field any sugestions.
I have a Start button on the title screen. I want the music to stop when you click on the start button. Also, I want for another music to start when you go to the next part of the animation and to stop when you click on another button.
I have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Here's the code - var tl:MovieClip=this; for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){
I have code that growsUp and growsDown an object using a rollOver and rollOut.
I want to remove the ability to click on this object whilst it is either growing up or growing down.
Here is my code:
Code: var rewind:Boolean = false; guitarButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,growUP); guitarButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,growDown); //on rollOver, makes the Guitar either grow up or down, respectively
I've got a large scrolling thumbnail gallery which is attaching mc's dynamically based on xml, php, mysql. it's working great. when you click on a thumbnail a popup (within flash, not really a popup) window comes up and will load an .flv, another image and some stats. The popup zooms in over top of the field of thumbnails and the mc containing the thumbnails drops alpha so you can focus on the popup. what I need help figuring out is a way to stop all mouse events on the mc's in that container mc (the thumbnails). right now they are still active behind the popup and they need to be inactive otherwise you can still click on them behind the popup...
