I've got my preloader working where it loads up the external swf. The thing is what I want to happen is instead of once the loading progress reaches 100% and starts playing my swf, I want the preloader to hold off on playing the Swf and simply allow me to trigger the playback with a button. I can't seem to figure out how to stop the swf from playing once it reaches 100%. here's my code
Code:
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclL:Object = new Object();
mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target, loaded, total) {[code].........
How would you force a mouse follow movieclip to snap to a x y position if it reaches x y boundaries or perhaps if a button is released the movie clip snaps to a x y position? Of course if the mouse returns to x y boundaries I'd like for the movie clip to follow again.
Right now this is the code I'm using to make the movieclip follow the mouse within x y boundaries:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;

View 3 RepliesI have created a scrollable map which moves via mouse down buttons (left, right etc). Problem is I can't get the map to stop its scroll when it reaches its edge.
View 3 RepliesI hope the following is pretty self explanatory. There is a ball movie clip "mc1" on stage. The addEventHandler simply starts a tween and the ball rolls from left to right until it's off the stage. I'm simply trying to make the clip stop when it reaches a certain x value on stage. I'm trying to teach myself simple techniques for the if statement and loops.

View 4 Repliesbasically on the stage I have my Menu movieclip which is linked to an actionscript class called Menu. Within this I have another movieclip, not linked to actionscript, just a plain old movieclip.
This movie in question is a dialog box, and contains an animation for it popping up, and then going away again. I'm trying to put actions on specific frames to make it stop when it reaches the middle of the animation, then when "ok" is pressed the animation will resume and it disappears again. However the actions on the frames don't seem to be getting executed. I tried putting "this.stop();" on the middle frame, and have since put "trace("hello?");" on all kinds of frames but it doesnt seem that the actionscript is getting called at all.
This is something for work so I don't really want to start sending the .fla file around, but instead is there anything I should know about things which could cause the frame actions to not be executed?
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

But it seems futile.
i'm trying to get a movieclip within a movieclip to stop playing when it reaches its last frame. let me describe my problem: it should start playing when the user rolls over the movieclip that is containing it(i'll call this mc1, and the movieclip within it mc2). i've put a stop action in mc2's last frame but it won't stop and plays again and again. one thing i should point out is that there is a variable in mc1 that tells the movie whether it's ok to play the movie in reverse when the user rolls over mc1, if this is false, that means that it plays normally(not in reverse). i'm using "play()" to play mc1 when the user rolls over it and this is where i think the problem is; even though the last frame of mc2 has a stop action, it is somehow told to play again? anyways, this is just a guess, i haven't figured out why or how to fix it. i'm not sure if my explanation was too hard to understand so i'll try to clarify it if anyone wants me to.

this should be pretty simple for most, but I would like an explanation more than just a quick code fix. I put all the script together for this object, here is the fla. What I want to do is move it up to the y position as it does, but I need the object to move faster and stop there. Since I have given most of script in the main movie, I don't know how to write the script for the button release. All I can get it to do is crawl up with targety=100; but I still have the problem with the mouse follow once my button is pressed.

I just finished a simple music player... For testing purposes. I upload it in the following address:http:[url]....with 10 music songs that I had recorded from radio stations(added the last 2 twice for testing).The problem is that when a song has totally loaded, stop action taken needs about 1 second to be applied!I.e. When I press "STOP", the sound continue to play for 1 sec before stop. When I push "pause" it takes one second for the music to stop!
However when using resume (second time pause) the sound starts instantly! Thus I guess there is an issue with stop()function of the SoundChannel object that I am using to stop the sound. Also notice that when unpause the music, it continue ~one second before the last sound - which means that I saved the soundChannel.position number (and also call soundChannel.stop()) in correct time, but it didn't stop immediately - bug!?
This only happens when the application runs through a browser(plugin v. 10) - programmed in CS3.
PS1. Notice that ,this also happens when I change Volume too. Thus because Stop and Volume are parts of SoundChannel, I guess there might be a bug with SoundChannel in online plugins..... :/
PS2. Notice that ,this also happens when I close the browser (firefox). Even if browser is closed the music continue for 1 sec the same way as when pressing stop!.. Thus I guess it's flash bug!...
I 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]...........
How do I trace the value of an slider when it reaches a new value? So that I can change other properties depending on what value the slider has.
View 1 RepliesI am placing and modifying a movie clip using actionscript, and I want to know how I can use an if statement with the movie clip ending. I tried using this. but it didn't work:
addChild(thing);
thing.width = (500/3)+25;thing.x = 225;thing.y = 250;trace(thing.totalFrames);if (thing.currentFrame >= thing.totalFrames){ removeChild(thing);
}
It plays and resizes the movieclip, but doesn't get rid of it(i.e. it keeps looping). I also noticed that when I just used removeChild(thing); without the if statement, it only removed the graphics, and not the sound.
I have been playing with this idea for a few hours and now I'm completely miserable,I have two movieclips, mc1 & mc2. mc1 is palying a simple animation.I want to write a script so that when you rollover mc2, it checks mc1's frame number. if mc1's frame number is for example "10", it should play its own animation. otherwise is should wait until mc1 reaches frame "10" then play mc2 animation.

This is the code I am using now.

I have a rounded rectangle that the x and y values will always stay the same. However it rotates around and it's height is increased (it follows moving targets). (Think of it as a turret that shoots out a beam of light that will always be anchored to the turret on one end but it gets longer and rotates so that it constantly tracks the moving targets) I want to remove the object when it moves off the screen.
Normally I would just do this with:
(if myObject.x >= 550){
removeChild(myObject);
}
and the same for each other direction of the screen. However, as mentioned, it's not the x and y values that are changing - it's the height that's changing.
Now I've tried just swapping out 'x' for height:
(if myObject.height>= 550){
removeChild(myObject);
}
etc. for the rest.
But the problem with that is that if my turret (the anchor point for beam of light) is closer to the edge of the screen (i.e. it's x is 500), then it will take a couple of second's for the light beam's height to reach 550.
