I converted a short (96 frame) animation from QT to FLV format and I'm able to instance this onto the stage. How do you infinitely loop the animation? It executes through one iteration, and then stops.

URL...Can anyone provide me with some code on how to make the scrolling thumbnails loop infinitely? So that when you reach the last picture on the scrollbar, it will loop to the first picture?
View 3 RepliesI'm getting the geolocation data of a viewer and creating a textfield to display this data (city,state). After the data is pulled the text is measured to fit in the textbox and if the length of the city is too long, the text is adjusted in size to fill the textfield. When I trace the end result of the final text size, I keep getting the (same) trace result outputted infinitely.

It worked, but I needed the text box to be made according to what data was pulled from the geolocation xml, so I added it in the geolocation script.
I am trying to seamlessly loop specific layers containing .swf or .flv movies infinitely, independent of other layers in the timeline.I have attempted to use the gotoAndPlay("x"); method, but the target layer always freezes on the last frame for about .5 seconds before executing the gotoAndPlay command. The only situation in which it doesn't freeze is when frame "x" is the first frame of the project.No other actionscript is being used anywhere else in this project
View 1 Repliesok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
View 1 Repliesso I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

1. starts with 2 guns crossed centered
2. the shoot at the same time and start dragging towards the edges of the screen like this: <------ (center) ------>
3. fill the centerish area with smoke from the gunfire while the guns are moving away
4. as the smoke clears my name appears in the middle
5. then a few more frames of smoke coming out of the guns (i want this part to repeat, only this part though so theres just infinite smoke coming out)
now i'm still a bit fresh to flash. here's what i have down. i got my gun pics and the tilt up when fired and got them to drag away (motion tween). i also got my name to fade in from a frame in the middle to the end. i still don't know how to make the bang, or smoke (then make the smoke vanish), and then have the last few frames repeat.
I have a background image of clouds behind a mask that tweens from left to right. When the image reaches it's end, I would like to start the image over again, so that it loops indefinitely.
View 19 RepliesI am looking to take a single image and have it fill the screen....then I want the user to be able to pan and zoom in/out , and the image to be tiled into infinity. So eventually the screen will be filled with tons of little versions of this image. I can do the scrolling and stuff, but I don't know how to infinitely tile a background.

I have just built my first website in Flash CS4 and have come across a couple problems. When I published it online, I found that the site is not centered and has a huge white area around it. How can I center the window and spread my background out infinitely?
View 2 RepliesI have an MC that is a giant text box that contains 20 different items laid out vertically, like this for example[code]...
I want to make the list infinitely moveable/draggable on its y position, meaning the user can drag this list up and down but the list never ends.....In other words when the user drags to the last item in the list, the list, the list starts over again. And the same works in the reverse; if the user is dragging up and gets to the first item, the last item pops up after and then goes in reverse. In other words no ending. Think The Price Is Right Wheel or the alram clock on the iPhone or iPod touch.
I need to loop the animation, its a simple loop but i have confused me in this code and cant solve it.

How would you get an animation to loop with a delay in between using AS3?
View 1 RepliesIm an Industrial Design student that has never really used any Flash before but need to use it now to mock up an interface design for a product/service I'm developing for my major project.
So far, in ActionScript 2.0, I have a picture of a TV and remote control and intend to design the interface over the top of the television picture and highlight buttons on the remote beside it, that the moderator can click to navigate around it.
To get across the idea that the interface pops up over the existing moving television picture I have imported an FLV of some television ads. My problem is that I want the Flash animation (everything but the FLV if you like) to pause and not loop, and the FLV to continue playing (and looping) in the background, but can't figure out how to do it. Ideally the FLV needs to continue playing, seamlessly behind the interface after the next button is clicked etc.
Wherever I seem to put a stop(); action it'll stop everything, including the FLV, and if I just extend the timeframe to the length of the video, it'll still stop at the end or just loop to the beginning of the entire SWF.
I have a logo which animates one time and stops. What I would like is, it should loop every 5 seconds interval. The following is the action scipt 3 written in the flash document.
var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);
l.load(new URLRequest("MyLogo.swf"));l.x = 100;l.y = 100;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);

I'm new to flash and this is my first animation... I'm making it in CS5 using AS2 and it features a snail with a movement loop. The loop is in the library as a movie clip, it has 3 layers and is 19 frames long. Because it is a snail in the loop it ends in a different place then it started. The snail has to move along 97 frames after each movement. I thought I could do this within the movie clip using some actionscript on frame 1 but I haven't really got to grips with actionscript so I was wondering how I should go about moving it every time the loop restarts.

View 3 RepliesI've been using the Adobe CS5 collection for nearly a year now but today is the first day I've decided to give Flash Professional a go.I'd tried creating a looping animation in Flash Catalyst but have had no luck at all (I'd followed a couple of suggestions such as using an flv movie as a timer but nothing seems to work for some reason), so I thought I would do it the proper way in Flash Professional.So far I have figured out how to import images, convert them to symbols,create a motion tween with key frames and do the animation. All this is good, but now I want the animation to jump back to a few seconds after the movie begins and play until the end,then jump back to that point again.Basically when the animation first starts it fades in for a half second or so,and went I want it to loop around I want this fade in missed out.
View 4 Repliesok so im having an issue with Flash CS5.I have a sound looping, and my animation is only 13 frames long, while the song is like a minute long, so each time the animation loops threw the default "Loop Playback" a new sound audio is played which os overlapping the previous over and over causing a massive echo effect.Whats the best way to loop both of them insync, or atleast copy and paste the animations frames and make it the length of the song?

Im trying to pause a loop in my flash animation. I have been trying bunch of codes nothing seems to work.
I have an actions layer.
The animation is 15 seconds. I will extend it to 30 seconds but i want few seconds pause between the 2 loop starts.
I'm a bit stuck but think this should be a fairly easy problem to fix.I have arranged some movieclip instances on the stage (_root) at author-time and would like to hold them in an array. I can't seem to get the loop at the end of this script to workBasically what want to end up with is a load in animation, by setting the array's visibilty to false initially, then looping through a function to set each indexes visibilty to true, with a setInterval variable so that it dosen't happen too quickly. From there I could add a tween to the loop and fade the array instances in one by one.
shapes = _root["eye1","eye2","nose1","dots1","lips1"];
trace(shapes);
//apply some properties to the array

how would I start this, I have a simple AS ease function that I could put in. Im just confused how to integrate it into this loop. Also how would I have the thumbs consecutively tween in?
I have Flash CS4 but I decided to use Actionscript 1/2 for this file. I am a beginner at using ActionscriptI need my file to loop back to frame 110 on mouseover. Also, the animationshould not loop or stop until the animation is over. What is the actionscript code for this?I already added a stop(); command at the last frame of one layer so it won't loop)
View 1 RepliesI just got stuck with something while making an animation. I am making an animation where I want the last frames to keep repeating I want everything else to stop playing but to have specific animations repeat from a certain key-frame. Something like the animation on this site.
View 2 RepliesI need to rotate through an animation sequence.
the animation is 40 frames long and I have stop frames on 1, 10, 20, 30, and 40.
everytime the user clicks the "rotate" btn, it will go through the animation
This is the code I have on the rotate button:
on (release) { for (var i = 0; i<=5; i++) { _root.play(); trace(i); }}
It works for the most part, BUT, once the animation starts over again, it hesitates for a frame when you click the rotate button then it goes back
to normal.
I played around quite a bit and came up with exactly the effect I was looking for. Basically a movie clip with floating icons that come in and out of the stage. All was done in actionScript 3.0 and Code Snippets. There is no timeline per se, using the classic timeline view it is only one keyframe, the animation lasts for about 45 seconds.
I want the animation to loop continueously. Even in the HTML output I did click Loop Cont. under Publish settings. That does not work either.
