Is there an easy actionscript that can be added to the main timeline to delay playing and wait at that point in the timeline for a few seconds and then continue to play? Sounds easy but I've yet to see an example of such.

I have a flash loop with a function inside (nothing special, just looks through some text files on hard drive). However, some of the files don't satisfy, this is expected and the program throws an error as expected. No surprises there.But! I would like it to move on to the next text file when it finds a bad text file. Instead, it just stops everything.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have used the loader class to play an external .swf file. When it is finished I need to stop it and continue to the next frame in the timeline of the original movie. I can load it and unload it, but how to I unload it after it has played and continue to frame 2 of the timeline?
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();myLoader.x = 150;myLoader.y = 75;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete) ;
function onComplete(e:Event):void{ myLoader.unload(); this.gotoAndPlay(2);}
With this code, it skips the loaded movie and goes straight to frame 2.
I am looking to have the timeline continue (gotoAndPlay basically) when the movieclips in the frame are visible.I'm trying to make a simple game where the user clicks differences and they (movieclips) are made visible in a table of discovered differences.When these movieclips are visible, the timeline should continue to the congratulatory frame.I was given the following code:
if(mc1._visible && mc2._visible && mc3._visible && mc4._visible){
somemovieclip.gotoAndStop("someframelabel");
}
I have replaced 'mc1' .etc with the instance names of the table entries recording what differences have been found. However, I don't know where to put this script (i assume it's on the frame where the movieclips become visible when differences are clicked). In addition, what do i replace 'somemovieclip' with?
After a swf movie loads, is it possible for the main timeline to continue to play? Right now if I don't put a stop action where I call in my loaed movie, my main time line plays while the called swf file loads, and the end animation is off then.

I have a MC moving across the stage, I tried stopping it with a delete onenterFrame but it will jump and not stop...how do I fix that. My second question is, after I get it to stop, how do I continue the timeline and not repeat frame one. I tried searching for it but nothing explains how to continue to another frame.
for (i = 0; i < _root.myArray.length; i++) { _root.searchAndDestroy(); }
how do i make the for loop continue only after _root.searchAndDestroy(); has finished it's task?
I'm wrestling with an issue right now and I'm hoping for some help, and more so, I'm hoping I can explain my problem. With the thought of a "fill in the blank/drag and drop/string replacement" interaction, here's how my swf works:
I have a various movie clips that can be dropped on various movie clips.When one movie clip is dropped on another, the corresponding __#__ within myTitle.text will be replaced with a string that is related to the movie clip that was just dropped: i.e. myTitle.text becomes 'This is the most annoying [thing]...'Per that example I just mentioned, in the code below, my for loop searches for __1__ and moves the hTarg movie clips accordingly.Once a __1__ is replaced with the associated string I mentioned, the indexOf the __1__ becomes null because it no longer exists in the string, and the following startRect(s) below also become null.
So, my question is: How do I continue to loop through my for loop if the first index is null? I hope this makes sense, and I'm hoping someone can ituit what I'm trying to do based of my lousy explanation. If more clarification is needed, let me know and I will do my best to further explain.

As you can see i want to add an item (notfriend) in MYFRIENDS unction, "notfriend" is defined inside the loop, but by the time "MYFRIENDS" function finish loading the item already changes to the next item even though i was originally refering to the previous item. Is there a way to maybe hold the FORloop until "myfriends" function finish loading.
I wanted to use Eventlistener on "myfriends" function , but then what do i do to stophold the loop? all i know is BREAK-which destroyes the FOR-LOOP and CONTINUE-which continue the loop from the next iterate.
I have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval. I have a loop that I want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc. So I can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
aMenu = new Array();
aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu[i]);

I've got a FLV file (test.flv) in a movie clip playing on my timeline with controls for viewers to jump around if they'd like, does anyone know of a way that when the FLV movie clip comes to an end, it will detect this and continue on with the timeline?

and for some reason not only does it continuously loop but it also adds an additional play every time it loops..
loop an mc three times then stop?
I remember in an older version of flash you could put a gotoAndPlay statement in the last frame of a sequence telling it to go back to the first frame in a sequence, but as I understand it you are not supposed to put script into frames anymore. So is there a way to tell a movie clip to play and repeat just part of its timeline (say a walking sequence) and then have it change to a different sequence later (such as jumping)?ed.
View 1 RepliesI'm stumped on getting my coding movie consisting only of tweens to just play 3 times and stop on last frame. I'd also like it to delay and stay on last frame about 10 seconds and/or delay before playing the first frame about 2 seconds. that stuff i do now with timer events- I set both for the interval (100000 and 2000) and repeat is set to one for each, with a timer on the last and first frames. (not sure if that's the best way to do that)
