I have some banners I am doing right now and have a pause timer question. I am fairly green at coding. In my first frame I have this:
[Code]...
I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.
I am a novice flash programmer, and i recently stumbled upon the following problem, I got the following code ;
[Code]...
I've imported a flv video (flvPlayer, instance name) to loop with the following script:
var myLis:Object = new Object;
myLis.complete = function(){
flvPlayer.play();
}
flvPlayer.addEventListener("complete", myLis);
I would like the flv to pause for 3 seconds before looping again...
I am using Macromedia Flash Pro 8. I have a flash intro that has words (phrases) which slide in. I would like to add a 7 second pause between each phrase to give people time to read them (no buttons). Could someone tell me the script(s) to use with all functions, etc. included - as I am so new to all this. I have been looking for weeks & tried many codes but none seem to work - or I don't know exactly where to place them - or both
View 3 RepliesI need to a keyframe to pause (for say 20 seconds) when the frame is entered (i.e. not a button press, etc). After the 20 seconds is up, i need the timeline to continue playing to the next keyframe. I've searched and searched for setinterval and the like, but i could not find a clear answer.

View 4 RepliesThe slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
how I could go about pausing this timer on rollover of an object, stage... anything? I am just cycling images on the main timeline via this timer but would like the timer to pause if a user has mouse over one of the images.

(Flash 5/Flash MX). How do I delay/pause using actionscript? I have tried using a for loop for a time delay like this:
for(i=0;i<1000000;i++){
}
But it does not work?
Flash gives an error like:
Time-consuming actionscript.
Abort running script?
OR the loop simply does not produce a noticeable delay.
How I can introduce a time-delay or a pause using actionscript?
How can i pause my timeline for a few seconds.
Any easy way to doing this. Any ready to use script?
At the end of the animation, I want to pause for a small amount of time. And then, I want to carry on with the next animation.
View 2 RepliesI am using an xml video player that does not use the flv component in flash but a video clip object. So unfortunately I cannot utilize the cue points feature. All I want to do is pause the flv at a certain point for a number of seconds, fade in some movieclips, then fade out the movieclips and resume the flv and move onto the next one.
I assumed it would be easy enough to use the existing timer to pause at a certain number of seconds.
Heres what I have so far

View 5 RepliesLet's say you wanted to simply pause the PLAYHEAD with actionscript, and then start the playhead again automatically, after, say, 5 seconds??? Is there a way to do that, assuming nothing else is going on in your flash movie during that time...and I DON'T want to add 5 seconds worth of blank keyframes?
View 13 RepliesI have a movieClip that is basically a slide show.It is controlled by AS that is on its own timeline. It moves forward on its timeline, then a few frames later, I have it pause for 8 seconds with:
Actionscript Code:
stop();setTimeout (function() {play();}, 8000);
It then resumes playing and,a few more frames later,I have it jump to a different random slide. This all works fine. There are other frames on the MAIN timeline that do not contain this moveiClip. The problem is, if I go to one of those other frames in the main timeline, the above movieClip function is somehow still active, and after the 8 seconds it sends the play command. In this case, it causes the MAIN timeline to start playing.
I'm creating a simple image slideshow gallery where the images are presented one after the other in -fade-in - fade-out animation. I'm looking for a 'smart' way of delaying/pausing the slide show at the peak of the image brightness. I've found several codes however, they messed up the function of the PAUSE, NEXT and BACK buttons. Pause button would pause on an image, however the delay timer would start counting once again and the animation continues.
View 6 RepliesI built an XML based slideshow, but need to delay the actions of it for 10 seconds. basically, I want the first image to come up and pause for 10 seconds, then resume with the original speed. Everything works, except I can't figure out how to pause it. I tried using a separate function to call the first image, then a setTimeout for the main slideshow function, but when the main slideshow came up, it had already started and first two slides were already gone. so I removed the setTimeout and have tried a few different things, but nothing seems to work how i need it to.

View 0 RepliesI'm looking for a way to pause my flash movie, for like 5 seconds and replay it from the beginning. I tried the set interval, but it keeps looping :s

trace('test');
//play function here

I'm animating a sunset and would like it to pause for a few seconds between motion tweens. I have one "pause" timer set up in
actionScript:
this.stop();
var timelinePause:Timer = new Timer(6000, 1);
timelinePause.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,[code].....
but when I add another in a later frame, I get these errors: 1151: A conflict exists with definition timelinePause in namespace internal.
how to make a crappy game, and one of them was a pause button , i managed to add all the other things in, but im absolutely stumped on a pause button. I read one tutorial, which didn't really help. it was talking about a main game loop and all that crap that just baffled me. i did try it though, and i did not get any errors, just ALOT of laf, becaus what i did was put all my constructor code into the 'update' function, so it was running my spawn enemies every frame ect. but the i realised all i need to do is pause my timer, because thats the only thing that really needs to be done right?
here is my timer:
public function setCrates()
{
DropCrate = new Timer(10000+Math.random()*10000,1);
DropCrate.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, newCrate);

i am working on a 30 second timer for a game. I am wondering how can i pause the timer.Id like when i click something--the timer stops. then resumes when i close it. Do i create another function to do that?

displayTime--;
if (displayTime == 0) {

I just can't find a way to pause that timer... Also if i move to frame 2 (this is frame 1) and move back to frame one, it doesn't seem to stop.
I am trying to create a pause button that will pause everything on the screen including movieclips/audio. Right now I can't figure out how to pause the movieclips.
View 2 RepliesThe main timeline has a movie that consists of three frames that are supposed to hold while a sound clip plays. I was thinking of having a timer for each of the three frames instead of putting like 600 frames in the movie. I did it this way in those three frames, just changing the timer variables[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a couple of buttons that start and stop sound, and I understand how to use a timer so that I can pause sound also. What I want to do, however, is have a sound play as it enters a particular frame and then stop upon entering another frame. As a means towards getting this to work, I experimented with a button that starts a sound on frame 1 and then a second button which stops it on frame 2. This works great as long as both buttons are present on the frame where the AS is introduced (which seems inconvenient as one has to be placed off screen, but whatever...).
When I switch around the name of the functions called upon by the eventListeners though, so stopSound is on frame 1 and startSound is on frame two, it plays when it gets to frame 2, but won't stop when it goes back to 1. I seem to not be getting the principle somehow, because if the functions are play on 1 and stop on 2, I can go back and forth endlessly. How can the order make such a difference? How can I get around this? How can I design an MC to have a sound associated with it so when the playback goes to the frame it is on, it will play, and then how to stop it later on?
Here's the very simple code I'm working with:
stop();
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("TheCattleCall.mp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var soundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
sound.load(soundReq);
