ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop() Doesn't Work When Saved To A USB Drive
Oct 28, 2009
Demonstarting basic AS3 to my Flash class tonight I discovered a strange anomoly. I created a scene with multiple frames and added a stop(); action on the first frame. Simple! But when i save the fla file to a USB drive and test the movie or even publish it to an exe, the stop command no longer functions. Save the fla to the hard drive and test/publish, it works fine. I tried this on multiple computers using CS4 with different USB drives and even different fla files created from scratch. The problem is consistent. gotoAndStop( ) also ceases functioning when the fla file is saved to the USB drive and then tested/published. (BTW, I also tried to do it with AS2 and the stop() command functions correctly on both the USB and hard drive).

I've created a SharedObject on My Computer, saved it in a movie, and ran the movie again and data came up well enough.My problem is, I want to delete the SharedObject saved on my hard-drive. I currenly have Flash 8, and Flash MX 2004 uses the .sol extention, but I can't find the SharedObject anywhere on my computer. With the release of Flash 8, did they change the SharedObject file extention? Is there a way to set up the path to which SharedObjects should be saved in your script file? The second parameter of the getLocal() method, stores a URL. Is that the same as a directory on your computer?

I have some bombs like this :
var sjunkBomb:Array = new Array;
for (var i:int = 0; i < sjunkBombMaxAntal; i++) {
var bomb = new sjunkbomb;[code]....
Each movieclip sjunkBomb contains an animated movieclip. When the bombs reach the bottom I want to stop the inside animation.I guess it's better to stop them so they affect the rest of the game if there are a lot of bombs. I know how to hide them with sjunkBomb[x] .visible = false; but if I want to stop them? sjunkBomb[x].stop(); doesn't work!?

I have an animation with 11 layers, 4 of them have a regular time line, 4 others have a actionscript animation(moving left to right and replacing left when disappear(they are clouds)), 1 other is just a layers for actions, and the last 2 contains a MovieClip named "fond_mc" and "verdure_mc"(i'm french, in english: "background_mc" and "grass_mc").

I have a stop(); action on the last frame of my main timeline, but it's not working. The movie just keeps on looping.
I've tried:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {
stop();
}
but that doesn't work either. Neither does this.stop();

When I work on my Air Project, I used stop(); to stay in a frame(which is my menu), I built the .air for testing purposes and the frames keep looping, as in, it plays all the frames, and it won't stop as it's instructed to. I'm building my Application in Flash CS5, not Flex.

I am trying to stop a function in as3, I tried: delete.functionName - but it didn't work, I tried to achieve the same things using addEventListener and then removeEventListener, but that is not what I need that function has caurina tweener inside it and it has multiple tweens with multiple delays seconds, so all of the tweens are started and the seconds continue to tween but what I want is to simply stop that by stopping the function which holds the tweener so it should stop everything what is inside that function for example it could stop that function when it is mouse hovered on any object

I've used the stop(); function on my actions frame, top layer, on all of my frames. I've tried using it on keyframes for all of the frames, and on one "master" actionscript frame (spans the movie).
stop(); won't stop my master timeline. I've traced it, and it isn't being activated--so that tells me that for some reason, the actions on the frames (not in the document class file) aren't being triggered.
Is it related to the fact that I have a custom document class? I can't think of anything in there that would cause this to happen, and I even put a stop(); in the beginning of the constructor function. (Didn't work so I took it out.)
This isn't a looping movie clip inside of my timeline, it is the master timeline itself.

i have a Flash CS 5.5 fla with a basic timeline animation. at the very last frame i put a keyframe with the only code being
stop();
nevertheless this movieclip doesnt stop at the end but loops infinitely.
the movie is exported as an SWC which is then loaded into another flash movie. however this does not call any functions in the movie nor does it interact with it, other than embedding it.
i have already tested this with the debug version of flashplayer to see if there are any exceptions, but no errors occur.

XML text to be used as a link within my flash site.What I mean by this is I have a XML file with a list of shows and at the end of each title and short description and I would like to have a link to the show's dedicated page.I know how to do a URL link but a gotoAndPlay / Stop link doesn't seem to work the same way.. Here is an example of what I mean:

I just started working CS4 and finished my firest simple web page([URL]), nearly the way I wanted. Having little or no action code experience, I did what I could. Then CS4 was upgraded to CS5. When I opend the CS4 project and saved it to CS5 (making it irreversible), the preloader that worked in CS4 did not work in CS5.

I have made a simple flash animation on a CD. I assign to a boutton :
on (release) {
getURL("D:/de/location/pladja_daro/index_de.htm", "new window");
}
to open a file.html
the problem is the letter D of the CD-Rom drive. ( if someone has its CDROM called (F) the file won't be found on the CD !! )
I tried :
on (release) {
getURL("/de/location/pladja_daro/index_de.htm", "new window");
}
but the result is the same.
how can I get the boutton work in a CDROM DRIVE whatever may be its name?

My site is here: [URL] If you note though, unless the pause button is selected, it transitions too fast. How do I stop it and let the user navigate/drive? (All pic titles and locations, etc. are in xml). Secondly, although there are many more pictures it stops at 16. Why? Where would I look for direction?

I have a flash code where i am loading an AS 2 SWF inside AS 3. The thing is if i put the AS 2 SWF on same domain its working fine but if i put AS 2 SWF on different domain it loads the SWF properly but the "stop()" written inside the AS 2 frame doesnt work... and it keeps on playing all the frames continuously...
Here is the loading code..
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
if(Security.sandboxType == Security.REMOTE){ context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain };
var objLoader:Loader = new Loader();var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("SomeURL.swf");objLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event .COMPLETE, onSWFLoadComplete);objLoader.load(mRequest, context);

I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr

I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

Im 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.

When my animations are playing in the flashplayer and you rightclick and uncheck the play command only the animations in the main timeline stop playing. All the child animations continue to play. How do I make it so they all will stop playing when play is unchecked?
Is there a event listener that monitors if the movie has been stopped?

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

I have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.

I'm experiencing difficulty when playing sound files. When I start the playback of the timelime using the enter/return button everything plays as it should. When I press it again to stop, the visuals stop but the sound file in the timeline just keeps playing until it reaches the end of the track- even if I have cut some out of the timeline. I used to use mx 2004 and never had the problem. Note: I am using this in college not on a personal computer.

I have movie clip buttons with a dynamic sound withing a slide show. Slide show consists of 3 movie clips connecting on frames 1, 300 and 900. The movie clip buttons with sound over are within the connecting movie clips. My problem is that although the sound and buttons work fine most of the time, sometimes, particularly if I mouse over the button wile it's transitioning on one of the connecting frames (300, 900), the sound doesn't stop... I'm sure I'm missing something in the Action Script?? Here's the script I'm using for the buttons:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I put an actionscript to make a "matrix effect" on the timeline, but it won't stop playing. It's just repeating over and over again. Even when I'm going to a next frame. Is there a way to stop the script from playing?
This is the code from the "matrix effect":
for (i=0; i<=463; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("digit","digit"+i,i);
this["digit"+i].the_depth = i;
}
