needless to say, new to as3... What I want to do is control start and stop of stage playhead with keyboard control. What I have so far is the stop control, but cant figure out the play. I have tried setting a var and boolean, but am doing something wrong =(
// heres my code
[Code]....
I want my animation to STOP when I press SPACE, and then PLAY when I press SHIFT. This needs to be in AS3. The only catch is that my whole animation is composed of 5 Scenes. Would this be a problem? Also, I'm confused as to where I should add the code. I have it in a class and it still doesnt work. I tried putting it on the 1st frame on Scene 1.
View 1 RepliesI simply created an movieclip called it themusic as instance and put a sound init Now on the firstframe i added these actions, the problem is the music just keeps going , it has no effect
the code
Code:
play_btn.onPress = function ()
{
trace('playing' + themusic);
//themusic.stopAllSounds();

I just need something simple, where there is only pause, play and stop buttons. I usually load the music within the flash movie and play from there, but I would like to build one where if you press play, the music loads and plays streaming on the spot. I have got a couple of more complex streaming style mp3 players but I would like to use a simplified streaming version. Any recommendations or code that I can just add to a button?
View 1 RepliesI'm struggling with a script to make a simple audio player. I'm loading the audio externally, using loadMovie. I have three buttons on stage ("Stop","Play", and "Pause"). First two work nicely, problem is the third one. here are the actions for the three buttons:
STOP button - Working
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
audioContainer.unloadMovie(10);
}
[code]....
BTW, the external movie clip contains an audio track inside a movie clip. Any ideas how to make the thrid button to "pause" the audio?
I have a movie clip on the main timeline with an instance name odometer_mc. nested in that mc there are seven movie clips, two are named m100_mc, and km1_mc. I want to get km1_mc to play when m100_mc gets to frame 20.
View 4 RepliesI have created some functions to manage timed pause/play in an animation and I am trying to make a class from them, but it does not work, the play() and stop() functions I use have no effect. The functions work as intended when not in the class.
Here is my code:
package anim {
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
[Code]...
I checked that the functions are executed with the trace() and it is the case, so the problem really comes from the play() and stop() functions, and I do not receive any error at compilation or runtime.
I want to control my animation with a play and stop button .
View 1 RepliesI am trying to control Sound with actionscript and play and stop buttons.
This is the script I have in frame one of my scene.
[Code]...
playB is the instance of the play button stopB is the instance of the stop button the sound intro is on its own layer and is selected as a streaming sound. My problem is that when I stop and start the sound with the buttons the sound starts from the beginning instead of playing from the frame it is in.
I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I am trying to make a play, pause and stop btns controlling a mp3 file which is in the library which has a linkage id of Speakers. I've manage to get the pause and play to work but now incorporating a stop button isn't working for me
Code:
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.attachSound("Speakers");
btnHalt.onRelease = function() {
snd.stop();
} btnResume.onRelease = function() {
snd.start(snd.position / 1000);
} restartbtn.onRelease = function() {
snd.start();
}
To say basically if you have pressed the pause btn, then the play btn, play from state pause at, but if you have pressed the stop btn then pressed the play btn, play from start and also if the play btn has been pressed and the audio is playing if pressed again dont play again do nothing.
give me the actionscript for a bar that has a play and stop button to play and stop frames in a flash movie. i would be gratefull if you could as i am really stuck
View 2 Repliesis the following scripts correct to stop animation by pressing "Space Bar" if the animation is playing. And to play the animation again if the animation is paused. Is there any additional criteria need to be added to make it more solid.

I am creating a game where the user can control the character either by left or right keyboard buttons or by clicking on a left of right movielcip buttons. Currently, I can control the character using the keyboard but I cannot figure out how to add the MC button control. Here is my current code attached to the character_mc:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.background_mc._x<=-3620) {
_root.background_mc._x = -3620;
[Code].....
Can I add another listener for either movieclip button (left_btn_mc, right_btn_mc) to the above code, or do I need to add the code to the each movieclip button?
What im trying to do is create 8 button in flash using as2 to control certain keys on the keyboard. When i click a button ive created in flash i want it to trigger a key eg. "a"
View 1 RepliesWorking on my first complex game, and I'm not sure how to best approach this problem. I've got a submarine whose motion is controlled by the four arrow keys and which launches torpedoes via the space bar. After the sub shoots, I want the torpedo to be steerable with two other keys (probably Z for left and X for right), and at the same time, have arrow keys continue to control the ship.
First question, is this possible? I'm assuming I'll have to switch focus back and forth via code.
Second, what the best approach to setting this up? Attach listeners to the stage or to each object? If I chose the former, could i avoid focus issues by detecting which key was pressed and then manipulating the appropriate object?
I'm trying to create an input field where a user types a word and if correct, the movie progresses to the next frame (I just can't don't know how). More importantly, I wondered if there was a way to substitute clicking on a button with hitting a key on the keyboard? So instead of using a "submit" button to check the field's value... the user can just hit the "enter" or "return" button and the "if" and "gotoandplay" actions will occur.
View 7 RepliesOK, so im trying to make a seemingly simple as3 project where I instantiate a movieclip from the library, and then move it using keyboard controls.

I'm using the slider component to control the volume of an MP3 but also need to use the arrow keys to move a character. When you place focus on the slider component, the arrow keys move the slider rather than the character. How can I disable keyboard control of the slider altogether? Is there a way to do it temporarily.
View 1 RepliesI created a presentation in Flash. And I embedded the following keyboard control scripts so that I can pause the slide by pressing "Spacebar" and play it again by pressing "Enter".[code]I also embedded getTimer script to delay the speed of the flow so that key-point can be loaded one by one.[code]Other than the above keyboard control, I also add four buttons at the right bottom so that I can play and pause, fast forward and rewind by clicking those four buttons.
1. the 1st and 2nd slide cannot be paused by the above keyboard control command.
2. the play and pause buttons at the right bottom is not functional in the 1st and 2nd slide.URL...
I have some AS2 code for responding to keyboard input - it was great because it added friction, thrust, gravity etc... ie: it made the movements very real and added playability which is key in engaging players. On passing it into classes for OOP I don't seem to have got it right. maybe somebody knows a nice tutorial for the same.It was Emanuel Feronato's tut in AS2

Can you tab into CS3 Playback components or control them with keyboard commands in a regular (non screenreader) browser like IE? If not, can you in CS4? I believe that all screen readers can control Flash playback now, correct? But I have a higher up who wants it to be keyboard controlled as well.
View 4 RepliesI have two MovieClips, and both are controlled by keyboard events. One is a globe that I want to rotate in one direction or the other. The second is a walking animation that should change direction or stand still depending on which key is pressed or if none are.
Here is the AS Code:
/*var rightDown:Boolean = false;
var leftDown:Boolean = false;
var upDown:Boolean = false;
var downDown:Boolean = false;*/
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
[Code] .....
You can see that I've tried a few different methods, but neither has worked correctly. Using the timer came close, but then the globe kept speeding up, and I couldn't get the walking animation to default back to the standing animation. Here is the .fla [URL].
