How can i make an swf stop looping? I already have a stop(); function on the last frame, but it keeps starting over. Strange because this way i've stopped all the swfs im working on..This one seems to have its own will..
View 10 RepliesI thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tweenone)
myTimer.start();
function tweenone (event:Event):void[code]...........
I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr
View 2 RepliesI 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.
How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.

Im 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.
I've tried a couple dozen things to try and stop this movie clip, even down to the bare bones basics and its not working.I have an imported TIFF sequence that i imported onto the stage of a movie clip. Its 73 frames long, i want it to stop on frame 73.So i add the usual stop(); command but it doesn't stop, it keeps looping.On the main layer i put this movieclip in i have an AS layer that also has stop(); and moviclip.stop();But it doesn't stop at all. it just keeps repeating.I put it down to this bare basic setup just to see if i could even stop it. But its not stopping.Layers -> and stuffScene 1Content - movieclipMCActionScript - stop(); movieclipMC.stop();Movieclip - keyframes consisting of image sequence 1-73. frame 73 has stop();
View 1 RepliesI have some bombs like this :
var sjunkBomb:Array = new Array;
for (var i:int = 0; i < sjunkBombMaxAntal; i++) {
var bomb = new sjunkbomb;[code]....
Each movieclip sjunkBomb contains an animated movieclip. When the bombs reach the bottom I want to stop the inside animation.I guess it's better to stop them so they affect the rest of the game if there are a lot of bombs. I know how to hide them with sjunkBomb[x] .visible = false; but if I want to stop them? sjunkBomb[x].stop(); doesn't work!?
I have a movieclip that I want to be scaled to 400.After that I don�t want it to scale anymore.How can I stop it going back to it�s original value and scale again and again.I have the as in "On enter frame",I dont want a button to be pressed to start scaling.

now i am trying to program the stop button to allow the user to stop mid song....
my reverse button causes the timeline to ignore the stop() function on its keyframe and play backwards all the way to the start. Since it keeps trying to play the previous frame, it's frozen at frame 1.

Is there a event listener that monitors if the movie has been stopped?
On a recent project I am working on, I created an event-based sound engine. Different components within Flex will be registered, and then the controller will listen to events and handle the information correctly. So, it just takes a custom SoundEvent or ChannelEvent to alter one of the channels, or play a sound.
I can not quite figure out what is wrong with my code, and I am finding myself snow-blind to the issue at hand. At first, I was going to rewrite it but I figured it would be better to learn from my mistake. Also, I realize that this is not correct for streaming sounds, but I am working off a local sound library until I get it up and running smoothly.
Here is the code for the SoundEvent:
package code.events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class SoundEvent extends Event
[code]....
i have mp3 player that i've written now i load that swf file into my new project bu i can't stop it when i go to another menu
could i write SoundChannel.stop and stop all channels?
Is it possible to play and stop a number of frames later, without using stop() in the frames? Like when I click a button frame 20 will start playing and it stops 30 frames later, all defined by the actions of the button..

I have an interactive flash application that I'm building, but it's gotten kinda large (~200k) because of one large png file. So, I want to build a preloader for it, but I seem to have some difficulty getting it to a) stop looping back to scene 1, or b) look good if I use stop();
for some reason, the folowing scene's moving elements look crappy if I use stop(); in it's first frame in order to stop it from going back.
I don't want scene 1 to continuously reappear, but stop messes with the moving elements in scene 2.
I have my Flash piece with three tabs...HOME, VIDEO and PHOTOS. If you go to VIDEO I will have several buttons that you can choose to play different videos. Right now I just have one setup. Once I click the button I jump to a new frame where i have the FLV player ON THE STAGE. The video runs great.....until I go to another frame label like Photos or HOME. The FLV player is NOT on the frame where these others are but yet it still keeps playing.
When I started to try and stop the movie I put "myFLVplayer.stop();" within my button code for the PHOTOS button. This stopped the FLV ONLY if I had went to the VIDEO section and started a movie. If I click the PHOTOS tab before the movie was played I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at fish_2009_AS3_fla::MainTimeline/photos_clicked()"
Here is my code on Frame 1 of my file with the code in each button...this DOES NOT WORK....why?
ActionScript Code:
stop();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, home_clicked);
video_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, video_clicked);
[Code].....
I also tried taking the "video_player.stop();" code and placing it on each of the three frame where I jump to for each section. That did nothing. In the old days when I did this I would have one FLV player on the stage spanning several frames. I wold then jump to specific frame and just load the new FLV into the player. Once I left that frame the movie stopped.
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 am using button navigation, and the only way I can get it to work is to use th stop command so the buttons are the only way to navigate. My problem is I need to add an animation and because it's jumping through the applet it isn't animating, I have an animation on a new layer, but it won't play or loop, is there anyway I can get this simple animation to loop constantly in spite of the stop commands in the other laters, I have to have an animation for the project to be valid.

View 8 RepliesI would like the swf file to stop (or any other action) if it is not playing in a specified URL This obviously requires a conditional statement. I'm able to accomplish this in a local environment by checking current location. But I don't want the movie to stop if it is already in the desired location, in this case the specified URL. Will the movie play if the current location is equal to the speficied URL? How do I define the URL, absolute or relative path?
View 5 RepliesI have a parent MC (I'll call this mcFrame) on the stage that is essentially a square "picture" frame which I have applied a 'drop shadow' filter to. I have a child MC (I'll call this mcChild) which I have added to the displayList via AS3. This child MC contains a couple of paragraphs of static text.
So here is my problem: The 'drop shadow' filter I applied to the parent MC also appears on the static text (or any other type of content) in the child MC, how do I keep this from happening? To re-word my question? How do I stop the Child MC from inheriting the filters applied to its Parent MC.
