ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop(); Not Working In Scenes?
Jan 18, 2011
I'm working on a school project in flash cs5.We've been stuck with this for a few days now, scanning all pages in google to find. At the moment we have two scenes. The first scene sets up a menu, these buttons are for navigating to the other scenes. The second scene, pulls a movie into the screen.We've tried putting a stop(); at the end of the first scene, but it doesn't stop. It stops the movie in scene 2.We've tried stopping in scene 2 and tried with frame labels, but we're not sure if we did this in the correct way.
I'm building a point&click application with hundreds of buttons, functions and so on I've added to the main gamepanel two buttons, one opening a navigation map and the other opening a paper with a long text. There is nothing strange, no interactions with those addings (both loaded with attachMovie or loadMovie, doesn't matter).
Obviously, when the map or the text are opened, the buttons below continue to be clicckable and usable...It exist a way to stop all buttons in all scenes?
I am using Flash CS3. I'm new at actionscripting and I do not understand it completely. I have a movie that has a few (2-4) scenes in it. Each scene is like its own "commercial" I created a holiday movie that has snowflakes falling using an online tutorial. The movie works fine by itself, but when I load it as a scene in the movie that has my"commercials", the snowflakes continue to fall throughout the rest of the scenes. The holiday movie has a movie clip that has a snowflake falling straight down. The actionscripting duplicates the movie clip randomly as well as its opacity, postition, etc. I understand what I did during the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to get the snowflakes to stop falling throughout the rest of the scenes. I've tried entering a stop after the script but it just seems to stop the scene there without continuing to rotate through the rest of them. I don't quite understand where to tell it to stop. Somewhere else on the actions timeline? In the movie clip itself? Here is the actionscript code I'm using:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc",10); var i = 0; myInterval = setInterval(addFlake,500);
I have a series of 6 images. In a single movie clip symbol (with the pictures embedded/attached in the swf), I want the images to fade in, stop for 4 seconds, fade out as the next image fades in, and repeats from there. I know how to do this with timeline tweens - but I wanted to learn how to make it in actionscript.
I've finally been able to make the images do this, but when I pull the movieclip into my main animation, it breaks all my stop(); commands for navigation. it seems to stop for 4 seconds and then continues on. I'm still very much an actionscript beginner, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it.
The first scene will have an embedded movie clip and artwork as a background for approximately 150 frames, the next scene (Scene 2) then appears (in the first and only frame) which has the following (AS2) setInterval on it (to play a swf file on a movie clip - the swf lasts a little over 2 minutes. Hence, 122000 milliseconds below):
I try to run a swf or html file of my fla file and it only works on my machine but not on my laptop. I have the latest flash player installed but it still doesn't work. My laptop works for single scenes swf and html but not for multiple scene file.
I'm having some problems controling my site. I have a movie clip and inside this movie clip I have an action script to take me to a diferent scene but the button isn't working
[Code]....
When using this code in the main timeline it works great but when I put the code inside a movie clip it won't work
whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!
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 am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.
I need someone to look at my clip for me and tell me why it's not working. I have the stop(); in frame one and the last frame, I just don't understand.I can't attach the file here because i only have winrar and winzip 12 (which creates a .zipx - which won't upload...i tried)
So, I'm working on a presentation/site that houses multiple sections being loaded in as individual swfs. I have each section shoot to a preloader frame first that is set (with PreloadAssetManager) to preload multiple FLVs and the SWF itself.If I select a new section while the current one is loading, it does the correct process of switching sections and shooting back to the preloader, but then the preloader itself just stops working completely. If I try to access any section, it just sits at a blank preloader. of thing.
I have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
I created a movie with several nested movie clips. within these movies are stop actions to prevent the clips from playing at the wrong time. I created the gotoAndPlay/stop functions to play these clips at certain points of the animation. Now at first these actions worked smoothly and exactly as i wanted, however after several test movies, some of the gotoandplay/stop functions stoped working. Has ne 1 ever ecounterd this problem is there a way repair these actions without recreating the whole movie? i tried rewritting the scripts and still does not work.
I have some code here that works except for when the item in bold is included:[code]If you take the bold part out, it works fine and stops dragging on release.
I'm making a very simple menu in Flash CS4 using AS3. I have a stop() action on the first frame of my scene, but it keeps getting ignored and looping the whole thing. The only other code is that telling the buttons to gotoAndStop on certain frames.[URL]...
I have 2 main movie clips, one for the menu bar and one for the content, there is then a movie clip within each one of those, one to hold the set of buttons, and one to hold the content movie clips. The menu bar has a control to flip between 2 sets of buttons. the viva content button works fine to begin with, but after the menu bar control is clicked, the content buttons stops working. Code is as Follows: All of the code (bar a few stop() flags on cirtain frames) is located on frame 1 of the root, which is the only frame on the root.
I know how to use flash but i'm not highly advanced.I have started creating a website for a friend and when I have placed the stop action where I would like it to be on both scenes it still plays in a loop once i test the movie (ctrl+enter).
I'm trying to make a notepad - when you hold the mouse down you can draw like a pen and when you release the mouse it stops drawing. At the moment I can just get it to update after every click.
Writing.as:
ActionScript Code: //This class is to 'write' wherever the person drags the mouse class Writing {[code]...............
The stop() is not working properly as if it were being ignored. I have even recreated a dummy flash document the stop() did work, however, it is still not working on the original design.
I've created a class and then in my library I linkaged my movieclip to the class..Inside the movieclip there are some actions in the frame like gotoAndStop . but it seems they are all ignored.
I made a little animation with a preloader, and i want it to stop on frame 9.I tried putting a stop(); command on the frame but the swf just keeps looping.here is the preloader code (maybe it matters):
this.onEnterFrame = function() { var total = _root.getBytesTotal(); var loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded(); var percent = Math.round(loaded/total * 100); this.mc_preloader._xscale = percent; if (percent == 100) { play();
I have 2 main movie clips, one for the menu bar and one for the content, there is then a movie clip within each one of those, one to hold the set of buttons, and one to hold the content movie clips.
The menu bar has a control to flip between 2 sets of buttons.
the viva content button works fine to begin with, but after the menu bar control is clicked, the content buttons stops working.
Code is as Follows:
All of the code (bar a few stop() flags on cirtain frames) is located on frame 1 of the root, which is the only frame on the root.
So i'm making this site where there are bottles floating in the ocean that are nested buttons so i can have them sway as well as have a mask on the bottoms.When u click a button all bottles should move to the left side and eventually the content will appear.I've added a trace for debugging purposes ... for some reason the buttons only work a few times.[code]
I have a keyboardEvent which listens for pressed keys. I also have a NumericStepper. If I change the value in the NumericStepper, the keyboardEvent stops working (I think the reason is that the textField in the numericStepper, or the numericStepper itself, gets active). So, I've tried alot of things. numericstepper.textField.enabled = false numericstepper.textField.selectable = false numericstepper.textField.editable = false etc... But nothing seems to work.
I do not uderstand why the stop on the attached file does not work. If I change the profile to AS 2.0. it works but not using in AS 3.0. See attached file. Attachments: Stoptest.zip (6.7 K)
I use Flash 8.I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great. The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.
[URL]
Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)
#1 on (release) {getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html"); } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- #2
[code]....
Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work.
I am trying to write code for my char animation. in the scene I have 4 layers: character, sky, ground and actions. all are to symbols(except actions of course) .For my character symbol(movieclip) I have one still frame as default, 2 walk cycles, and a jump. all done on a timeline. the main problem im having is that it doesnt stop, as it is supposed to, on the first default frame.
i put stop(); in the first frame of the movieclip and wanted to do my code in the actions layers in my scene but this stubborn character will not stop and I dont know what to do.....
