ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove The "stop()" On The Main Timeline
Jan 23, 2009
I searched the forum and perhaps found some relevant solutions, yet I still don't get it. How do I make simple "stop()", "play()", and check "currentFrame" on the main timeline from an AS3 Class file? I have an older AS2 Flash timeline animation that I'm converting to AS3, and also importing an AS3 swf into. Everything works fine, except I had to remove the "stop()" on the main timeline (so the animation does not loop), and trying to do that from the document main .as file. I get an error when trying to access "currentFrame" of the stage.
I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.
[URL]about 30 seconds into this flash, there is an FLV of a computer screen. The problem is, when I pause the swf, the flv keeps going. How do I get around this?1. Is it possible to convert the flv to swf?OR2. Is it possible to control the flv from the main timeline?
I am building a basic 6 page web site with each page labeled on the main timeline I have put the stop(); command on the very first frame of my timeline with the button commands below it - but when I test the movie - the whole clip just loops repeatedly - ignoring the stop
stop(); //main menu buttons home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
I have an internal swf file play within a main swf file. At the end of the internal swf file timeline I want the timeline of the main swf to go to a certain frame and stop.
Flash MX- I have an internal swf file play within a main swf file. At the end of the internal swf file timeline I want the timeline of the main swf to go to a certain frame and stop.
Have a question about the _root.stop(). I have a pause and play feature in a flash player so the user can stop the presentation along with all the voiceover that streams with the presentation. I used the _root.stop() in the flash player hoping it will stop the main timeline, but also other embedded movieclip timelines. It stopped the main timeline, but not the other ones. How do I stop both timelines at the same time? the _root.stop() was not working for me.
I have a problem with gotoAndPlay option.I have 2 layers with 3 keyframes, on 2nd frame i have movie clip image_mc which has a dropdown menu and here i will stop the timeline. On mouseover of image_mc I will get a dropdown in which if I click on 1st menu the timeline should go and stop on 3rd keyframe of main stage, but its going to 3rd frame inside movie clip, how to come out of mc on click.
So I have 2 frames at main timeline, one named "Game" and one is "Menu", they are just a movieclip eash does its own thing. I am in the "Game" playing, I want to change settings so I go to frame "Menu"... when I am back to frame "Game", everything is reseted!! I soon realized this is what Flash has been doing and it's a good thing... But I really want to know how to by pass the resetting now...
I am currently in the middle of making a "sniping" flash game. In the first level there are a series of moving targets which are also movie clips. Inside the movie clip there is a 7 frame animation of the target exploding. Inside that is a tween of the target moving up and down. And inside that there is a plain old button.
What I want to happen is when you click on the moving target it explodes and brings you to a new frame of the main timeline. (ex. Main Timeline frame #27) But I'm pretty sure it thinks I was to play the seven frame animation of it exploding and then go to frame 27 inside the movie clip, rather then frame 27 on the main timeline.
Here's what my AS looks like on the target (ActionScript 2.0 is what I'm using.)
on (press) { play(); } on (release){ gotoAndStop(27)}
So how do I make it explode and then take me to frame 27 on the main timeline?
I cannot seem to find anything of what I need from google.(Well, I can find the reverse method to what i need ) Basically I wish to access a variable declared in the Root Timeline from my Movie clips timeline.
I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.
I added a website preloader in a separate scene to the main frame of my website and scripted it to go to and Play the main scene or frame of the website when finished loading. I then put a command in the first frame of the main scene for the movie to stop (); at that point. The problem is that now the buttons on the main page don't respond to any behaviour commands to go to and stop at other frames in the main scene. I'm not sure if this is a conflict between the stop(); command in the main scene and the button behaviour command to go to and stop at another frame or an error with the way I'm identifying the scene and frame.
I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.
I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick); function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(2); }
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.
The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).
How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.
I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.
I have a magic cloud effect. On frame 30 of the nested effect I would like an mc on the main timeline to become visible.Not too sure how to code with frame numbers,a) Do I put AS on the timeline of the nested clip ORb) Write code on the main timeline to listen for when the nested mc gets to frame 30
I have a movieclip on the scene. I also have a button on the scene and when I press the button I want to send a variable-value to the movieclip. I have a variable set in the actual frame on the main-timeline but the movieclip doesn't catch that, when traced I get undefined. Can I send a value from the main-timeline to a moviclips timeline?
On my main timeline, I load a mc from the library with:
text_content.attachMovie("text_content", "text_content", 10); There is a marker inside this mc called "news". I need a script in the main timeline that will gotoandStop "news" within the "text_content" mc.I have tried, amongst others

my reverse button causes the timeline to ignore the stop() function on its keyframe and play backwards all the way to the start. Since it keeps trying to play the previous frame, it's frozen at frame 1.
Code:
stop() // Reverse button // var reverse:Boolean; rev_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down );
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
