I created a 30 second movie clip. I just want it to stop and display the last frame on the website.
How do I program AS3 to tell it to stop on the last frame and not loop? I don't want it to be blank though, I want the last frame to be visable.
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.
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 6 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 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.

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.
I am trying to get a Flash movie I created to stop looping in my browser AFTER loading it into Dreamweaver. Here's what I've tried:
a) Place an AS3 "Stop();" at the end of the action script for the file (in Flash CS4).
b) Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab unchecked.
c) Open the tandem created .html file in my browser (Firefox)......and the movie plays then stops as hoped
d) Open Dreamweaver CS4
e) Import the swf file into a blank HTML page and Save the file.
f) Test the document in my browser. Movie plays, but the movie continues to loop.
as mentioned above, how can I stop the movie from looping after it's embedded in my web page in Dreamweaver? Is this a Dreamweaver 'problem' rather than a Flash one? The DW help file says to use Flash to control the loop....
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 Repliesit 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 5 Repliesusing action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.
I'm brand new to flash so cut me a little slack. I'm in the middle of building a website in Flash CS4 in Action Script 3.0 and (according my the tutorial I'm using) I need to access the "parameters" panel. The problem is I don't see it anywhere. I see "properties" and "filters" but to parameters. I've cycled through all the workspace presets but with no luck. How can I bring it up?? Also, even though I used the "stop();" code in the beginning of my actions frame my movie just keeps looping when I test it.
View 1 RepliesI have created a submit button and the text goes up when the mouse is over the button, but when I go to test the movie it seems to be on a loop and I can't see away to stop the text from looping. I found loop on the control panel but when I remove the tick there is no change and the movie continues to loop. There is no action scripts applied to the button yet.I am at the moment trying to get my head around action scripts so I am a complete beginner at this.
View 1 RepliesI created a small Flash movie that I want to end at the last frame. Instead it keeps looping and starting from the beginning. This is the link: [URL] At the end of each timeline I inserted a keyframe and added the action: stop(); But this doesn't seem to have any effect.
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to get an animation to stop looping. The only code I see for it is:
next_bt.onRelease=function(){ gotoAndPlay("fx2") }
When I test the movie layer itself it just does it once. but when i test the whole movie it just goes on and on and on.
I have a Flash file with several sound fx. one layer has the sound of an airplane engine. Another layer has multiple instances of a camera clicking sound. Problem is that even though I have these sounds set to "repeat 0"... they keep looping! I even placed a stop(); but they still repeat.

View 1 Repliesto save me from going insane (well even more insane) ive created a title as a movie clip and got a tween that changes its alpha from 0% to 100%. the only problem is the title animation keeps looping and i only want this to happen once! ive tried stop(); however this just stops the animation.
View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to Flash, but I'm creating a sort of sampler for a university project. I have 16 circles each with toggle buttons. The on state included a sound file placed on the toggle movie clip's timeline. The sound is set to Start and Loop.
Basically, I want the first frame of the movie clip (the off toggle) to stop the sound from looping but despite my best efforts, nothing seems to work.
I have tried this.stop(), seachord.stop(), this.stop(Sound), this.stopAllSounds. I wonder if there is some sort of actionscript that will allow me to change the state of the sound file from Loop to Repeat, at least that way the sound will stop with a simple stop() script... I hope.
Alternatively, is there a way to stopAllSounds within one movie clip, rather than globally?
I'm very new to Flash / action script, so I just need to know where to put both the start loop, and the end loop code (below) in my Flash file to make the waving effect on this flag (link below) start and stop when I need it to, because I'm adding a small amount of flash both before and after it. loopI = setInterval(loopF,40); to start the waving and use:

I'm a newbie to the forum and AS3 and already searched through previous posts for the answer but couldn't find quite the right solution. I've got a simple animation, at the end of which I want to open a different URL. You can see my AS3 below (a mish mash of solutions I've found from all over). I've got it working such that the animation finishes playing and launches a browser window with the new URL, however it seems to be ignoring my "_self" statement and I can't stop the onEnterFrame from looping.

I have a banner that needs to play twice and then stop. Its 15 seconds and besides copying all the frames and pasting at the end to get this effect I want to do it with AS. Currently the animation is four mc's appearing at different frames in the main timeline. I figure using the if and else statements like if (should I create one movieclip for the entire animation and call it _mc_1) so if_mc_1 plays +++3 then stop?
View 1 RepliesThis is probably an easy fix, but I obviously can't get it. Below is the actionscript to loop my movie clip, but once it's activated, I can't get it to stop. I thought it would stop at 3. Flash 8 (CS2).

for (i=0; i<=3; ++i){
audio_mov.duplicateMovieClip("audio_mov" +ii);
}}
I have a loaded .swf that has the necesary stops to just play once and stop. It works when testing the movie, but once uploaded to the server, it loops forever, any ideas, I am using ActionScript 2.0
View 1 Replieshave been learning Flash pro CS5. I understand how to stop the loop of a total timeline. However, I am having problems with the following. I have created a motion tween of text that fades in and out, and stars around the words that "twinkle". I wish to stop the looping of the txt but have the stars continue to loop (and twinkle)
View 3 RepliesSeen from above, my character movieclip moves horizontally and vertically. In starting position the characters nose is facing the top of the screen so when left key is pressed it should rotate 90 degrees to the left and face left + continue the movement facing left.
Because I use a movement function + the rotation it now kind off loops the 90 degree rotation and swirls around in circles to the left. I understand why this is happening, but my question to you is;
How can I make it rotate the degree angle only once, and continue the movement facing that direction?
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var speed:Number = 4;
var charRadius:Number = 10;

My latest Flash project is almost finished apart from one small but annoying thing. The first frame containing the preloader and no images keeps playing on loop with the rest of the movie, I just want the rest to loop and the preloader to disappear for good when it's finished doing it's preloader thing! I'm guessing there's some actionscript I have to put somewhere to stop the first frame playing on loop, I'm just not sure what or where. Here is the test page with the flash as header: [URL].
