how to stop a single movie clip in flash and other movie clips still looping. I tried stop(); and myclipname.stop(); both are not working. I attached a simple file,
View 0 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.
(You can find this at pineboxmovingco.com/gear_redux.swf)
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.
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 1 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 RepliesIs there a way to do stop/pause all the movie clips inside a Big movie clip? I wanna control the movie clips as well with a slider. Yes i can control the Big movie clip yet i couldn't control those movie clips lie inside that Big movie clip.
View 9 RepliesI'm having some trouble following this (link) tutorial. I'm new to flash, so please bear with me.
In step 1 of this tutorial, we have created multiple movie clips and then a single big movie clip(including all the movie clips).
In step 4, I'm not able to access the properties of the clips we created earlier by using the following code, like in the tutorial.
[Code]...
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]...
I 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 RepliesI have some movie clips. i want to drag all clips when i drag single movie clip. Ex. I have movie clips "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5" . Randomly visible some of them. Suppose "A1", "A3", "A4" has visible. When i will drag "A1" movie clip all these "A3", "A4" also move with "A1".
View 6 RepliesI have made a number of Flash banners and I save them and everything is good but when I open them, some of the movie clips have reverted to a previous state. So I need to resize and redo thsoe movieclips. I make one banner and then save as new file and resize it. It is really annoying.. I am on P.C. and have all the current updates installed.
View 5 RepliesI have some (Eg. 10) Movie Clips on bottom of the Stage (aligned horizontally) with different sizes (different width & height). I want them to align vertically on middle of the stage with same gap (irrespective of their sizes) in between 2 Movie Clips. Is it possible using AS3 code?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.
View 1 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. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.
I am having a problem with a looping set of movie clips. The first pass, works as expected, but the second pass only shows the static (original) movieclip that all others were duplicated from.
myArrayXML.load("params.xml");
...bunch of code... this works fine the images come in from xml and do get loaded.
dup_insert = _root.magazine_env.duplicateMovieClip("Mag_insert_ "+i, getNextHighestDepth());
dup_insert.mag_insert.magazine_image.loadMovie(myA rray[i]);
--- however, the movieclip which calls the duplicated movie ---
play();
var myArray = _root.myArray;
var index:Number = this._name.split("_")[1].valueOf();[code].....
Works as long as it passes through the array one time. Once the array starts over and is calling for Mag_insert_1 it presents the original movie clip (everytime it's called). The trace shows the that the name is correctly incrementing, but it still does not show the proper image.Here is a url http:[url].....after the "soul food" image passes by it gets stuck on that image.I want to know what I need to do to get this to work (as in continuously loop).
I want to loop 5 movie clips so that one clip moves onto the stage, stays there for a certain time, then moves off the stage, then the next one.Here's what I've got so far:
var m1_mc = new m1();
var m2_mc = new m2();
var m3_mc = new m3();[code]......
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

I have a label I am referencing form a movie clip inside the movie clip which contains the "label_2." Here is the code I used: MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndPlay("return_2"); Now I need to reference a instance name of a movie clip in side the same scene.
View 10 RepliesIt's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.
View 15 Replieshow to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!
View 4 RepliesI was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

i'm trying to play several movie clips, one after the other from one main movie clip.i've got 8 movie clips, "m1.swf", "m2.swf", etc. "m8.swf", and one main movie clip, "play.swf".i've tried using loadMovie, but it only plays the last movie clip. this is what i've got. in the main movie clip, i've put a play button, and the actionscript i have in the button is:
on(release)
{
this.loadMovie("m1.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m1.swf");[code]....
is this wrong? how can i get this to work correctly.
how to duplicate movie clips which allow me to drag every movie clip duplicated.
View 4 RepliesI have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);

I have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.

At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?
i made a game with all the levels put into a movieclip named "game". Every level is put into a different frame and i want to make a pause and play button.I found this code but dont know how to use it:
on (release) {
for (var i in mc) {
typeof (mc[i]) == "movieclip" ? mc[i].stop() : trace("mm");
[code]....
i am making a sidescroller and i'm working on the collision and the way my teacher suggested was to give all the movie clips an instance name (which i did), but i'm not too sure on how to put them into an array for collision detection
the movie clips are within a movie clip simply named levelOne (and lvlOne_mc for as) which is exported for action script. the pieces within are well named and have an instance name (for example the first platform instance name is Pf01) but i don't know how to set up the array so i can set up collision detection between the character and the objects
What is the code I use to find out how many movie clips are inside a movie clip and then remove them?
clips = some_mc.numberOfClipsAtThisLocation;
clips.RemoveEmAll;
i got a school flash project where i need to access the _y properties of many movie clips buttons that set with name like sel 1 sel2 sel 3 and so on the problem is i have 2 sets of those, one on the main timeline which i can access with "for" looped _root["sel"+i]._y and one which is inside another movieclip problem is i don't know how to access the later using for loop? this is the script that i used to access the _y on the _root.selx
