i have created my flash document in CS4 using AS3 and everything is done apart from the two links i need to add on two buttons i have created and i need to write the script to make the movie stop instead of looping.
View 6 RepliesI have a .swf that loads into a movie clip in a Flash website. The .swf has all necessary stops to play once and stop once loaded. When tested outside of the movie clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I make this stop looping? (This only happenes to .swf that were made in CS4, doesn't happen with older .swfs that were made in Macromedia)
View 10 RepliesIm 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.

How do I program AS3 to tell it to stop on the last frame and not loop? I don't want it to be blank though, I want the last frame to be visable.

View 14 Repliesi have an external video that i have placed in a movie clip. its to be used as a flash banner for a website. my problem is the video plays once and stops... i have no stop code and i have tried a few different actions to make it play. even a simple one like gotoAndPlay (1); etc. i'm using CS4. i've tried using action script 2.0 & 3.0 but no luck.. as well as building script on the movie clip, on a frame and its own layer.
View 1 RepliesI currently have a 23-frame multilayered single-scene animation designed to loop continuously which I would like to add to my portfolio. As such, I am adding a Play button, which I would like to toggle to a Stop (or Pause) button. I currently have an instance of the Play button ("playButton") created.

Besides imploring your assistance in providing the code, I must also ask if this requires (and best practice for) inserting an additional frame at the beginning for the ActionScript, as well as where/what layer to add an instance of the Stop button. I would like the movie to be stopped by default, presenting the Play button, toggling to the Stop button, and back to the Play button, each upon release.
I am trying to get a Flash movie I created to stop looping in my browser AFTER loading it into Dreamweaver. Here's what I've tried:
a) Place an AS3 "Stop();" at the end of the action script for the file (in Flash CS4).
b) Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab unchecked.
c) Open the tandem created .html file in my browser (Firefox)......and the movie plays then stops as hoped
d) Open Dreamweaver CS4
e) Import the swf file into a blank HTML page and Save the file.
f) Test the document in my browser. Movie plays, but the movie continues to loop.
as mentioned above, how can I stop the movie from looping after it's embedded in my web page in Dreamweaver? Is this a Dreamweaver 'problem' rather than a Flash one? The DW help file says to use Flash to control the loop....
I have a movie clip, which is loading a portfolio. A movieclip holding the images drops down into the screen and then when the user clicks the return button within this movie clip, it dispatches an "end" event. In the main timeline, I have put in a gotoAndPlay(frameno); in response to the "end" event.
From this "frameno" the movie plays on and is supposed to come to a stop at the end of the timeline. The problem is that it is ignoring the last stop and jumping back to the first frame of the movie. Also, the stop I placed to let the user browse the images, and listen for the end event, is being ignored and the timeline is proceeding as normal and looping continously.[code]...
it isn't such a big problem bur for a beginner like me it is.I have a movie clip called "Lion_beginning_mc", inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.For example:Key Frame number 01 - DogKey Frame number 02 - CatKey Frame number 03 - MouseI want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.
View 5 RepliesI am having difficulty figuring out how to make a background soundtrack play continuously while my actual timeline will loop before the audio file is finished.
The way I have it set up now, every time the playhead loops back onto frame1, the audio track begins playing on top of the last one, making it utter cacophony. Even after a few seconds it becomes utter madness as 3 versions of the same song are playing simultaneously.
Have used the preloader at [URL] and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually. Is there a way I can add something that will make the movie loop direct to frame two and miss the preloader?
View 1 Repliesusing action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

View 14 RepliesBasically I have a flash swf file (main.fla/main.swf) with 4 different movie clips.I figured out how to make the movie clip stop on rollover but now I am stuck on trying to load some xml content in my flash swf file.I have loaded xml in flash before but for some reason I cannot figure this one out. I have included my flash source file for anyone that can help.You can download it here:
[url]
Also Included is a file called "main-1-visual.gif" in a the folder called "What it should look like". I numbered the xml variables that need to be loaded:
1. The logo at the top
2. The title
3. The subtitle
4. The content text
5. Another title
6. Related links (This needs to link to specific URL links)
What I am trying to accomplish is this:
When you rollover one of the molecules (balls) that specific movie clip pauses (This works fines right now). BUT I also need to have a xml file specific to that molecule (ball) to load on the right side (see image "main-1-visual.gif") in it's appropriate movie clip. I also need the loaded xml to stay active until you rollover a different molecule (ball).
I have a movie clip called Lion Beginning_mc, inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.
For example:
Key Frame number 01 - Dog
Key Frame number 02 - Cat
Key Frame number 03 - Mouse
I want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.
I have a movieClip name BlackScreen. In that BlackScreen mc I have a timeline which stops and a video which I converted to a movieClip named video_mc plays on that frame.I have a button named x10_btn in BlackScreen mc which navigates back to my main timeline. Can someone please tell me how to make my movie stop playing when x10_btn is pressed. when I imported the video I chose "Load external video with playback component" .Here's the code in my actions layer of BlackScreen mc
stop();
x10_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler10);function mouseDownHandler10(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(41);}
Once playhead gets to frame 41 the BlackScreen mc has completed animation and returns to main timeline.Currently, when playhead reaches back to main timeline the video sound continues to play and overlaps other sounds.
I'm brand new to flash so cut me a little slack. I'm in the middle of building a website in Flash CS4 in Action Script 3.0 and (according my the tutorial I'm using) I need to access the "parameters" panel. The problem is I don't see it anywhere. I see "properties" and "filters" but to parameters. I've cycled through all the workspace presets but with no luck. How can I bring it up?? Also, even though I used the "stop();" code in the beginning of my actions frame my movie just keeps looping when I test it.
View 1 RepliesI have created a submit button and the text goes up when the mouse is over the button, but when I go to test the movie it seems to be on a loop and I can't see away to stop the text from looping. I found loop on the control panel but when I remove the tick there is no change and the movie continues to loop. There is no action scripts applied to the button yet.I am at the moment trying to get my head around action scripts so I am a complete beginner at this.
View 1 RepliesI created a small Flash movie that I want to end at the last frame. Instead it keeps looping and starting from the beginning. This is the link: [URL] At the end of each timeline I inserted a keyframe and added the action: stop(); But this doesn't seem to have any effect.
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to get an animation to stop looping. The only code I see for it is:
next_bt.onRelease=function(){ gotoAndPlay("fx2") }
When I test the movie layer itself it just does it once. but when i test the whole movie it just goes on and on and on.
I have a Flash file with several sound fx. one layer has the sound of an airplane engine. Another layer has multiple instances of a camera clicking sound. Problem is that even though I have these sounds set to "repeat 0"... they keep looping! I even placed a stop(); but they still repeat.
