I am trying to acomplish a very simple task with AS 3 with no results. I have a simple time line with a stop button. All I want to do is to stop the play head wherever the viewer clicks the button, and then to start again from there when the button is clicked again.

I have a custom video player that loads videos from an external xml file. It uses all actionscript to control the video using the attatchVideo(ns).
At present the video starts playing as soon as the video opens, I would like the video to only start playing after the user clicks the play button.
What is the actionscript I need to achieve this?
* all the actionscript for all buttons etc. is on one layer called actions. Videos are external not on layers.
how would you play the next 5 frames if the space bar was clicked and then stop the playhead?

View 2 RepliesSo I have an animation I'm working on, its dialog driven and I want a vertical menu of questions the viewer clicks on. When its clicked it plays a specific sequence of animation, that part I have covered. Depending on the question clicked however, I want the menu to update with follow up questions.
-several menu items need to open up new menu items.
-the new menu items appear beneath the previous item.
-each new menu item needs to highlight text.
-each used menu item needs to dim text.
I'm mostly a script kiddy, I find stuff similar to what I need and take it apart and rebuild it to my needs. But I haven't found anything of this sort. The closest thing I have is creating a menu with an array.
I thought to assign the initial array values to questions as they would appear on a complete list. The idea is at the end of a string of dialog to run a check on a specific array value, if it comes up false, create that value and hence the new menu item is in it's proper place on the list (including appropriate highlight/dim text color). The problem is that when I run a trace I get a bunch of undefined values in-between. I don't want a menu with "undefined" text labels/buttons, is there a way to run a check for undefined during the menu loop and tell it to skip to the next value?
is this the best way to handle this project? I'd rather not create a complex movie clip of every possible menu configuration and run a ton of value checks with goto frames.
I have a portfolio_mc that is inside of a content_mc (stage->content_mc->portfolio_mc). There are 3 buttons that take the user to an appropriate frame designated by a frame label and this loads up an FLV. The problem is that when I click on any of the navigation buttons on the main timeline, the FLV that is currently playing, is still playing (I can hear the audio). How to stop this.
Here is the code used for controlling the buttons in the motion_mc timeline:
stop();
var naviArr:Array = new Array(btn01, btn02, btn03);
btn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);

I have an opening screen which asks the user to enter the first name and then they click the "start" button.This then loads an external swf into it and it starts a quiz on a timer.All that works except that the timer starts sometime during opening swf.I'm not sure if it's when the main swf is loaded or if when the user clicks in the input box but it is definitely not when the user clicks the "start" button like I have programmed.I even tried to stop the timer until the user clicks a button on the second swf (the external swf that is loaded into the main swf)[code]In the loaded swf I have a clock_mc that holds the timer.the first frame has a simple stop(); and the second holds all of the code that makes the clock run.I then have code setup so that when the user clicks a button the clock_mc.gotoAndPlay(2)[code]

View 6 RepliesI have a flash page that loads a video. Under that I have a button tcalled "Audio Demos" that opens a pop up with an audio player.
The problem is that the video keeps playing, so I need some code that stops the video when the user clicks on the "Audio Demos" button.
Here's the code for the button:
function getGilbertAudiodemos(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.gilbert.net.au/demo.html"));
}
gil_audio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getGilbertAudiodemos);

I am trying to create a little website in flash.. I have some video that plays automatically once the user goes to that section (I am using frame labels to navigate from section to section of the site). But, when the user clicks another button to go to a different page, the video is still playing because I hear it..How can I stop the video from playing once another button gets clicked?

View 3 RepliesI am building a flash application using flex. From time to time, I see an issue in IE 7 and 8 where the user logs into the site and the browser content pane is completely grey and the entire page (html, javascript and flash) won't load until the user clicks the X (Stop) button next the address bar. As soon as the X is clicked, the html loads and then the swf file loads immediately.
This doesn't happen for me or any other developers on the project so it is very hard to diagnose. The users are all using the latest flash player. The only difference between our setups that I can think of is that we have the debug version of flash player and they probably do not.
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.
I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

View 7 RepliesI have buttons (transparent) and little mc animations (tweened the good old fashioned way) that play underneath them on onPress.What I want to do is make it so that when you press say "Home" the animation will stay in the "on" position until you click something else, anything else. That is to say, I want to say "This button just got clicked, play the animation, keep it in the "active" state while the user is looking at the page, and play the "inactive" state when the user clicks ANYTHING else."Right now, I've coded each individual button like this:
on(release) {
content.loadMovie("about.swf");
buttonthing.gotoAndPlay ("off");[code]....
would like flash to trace something when the play head goes over a frame label named "test" I would also like to have the code placed on the first key frame. I realize that the easiest way out would be to place the trace statement on the frame with the label on it but I'm trying to run this with a listener.
PHP Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame,false,0,true);
function checkFrame(event:Event):void

anyone can offer me a way of housing an XML return in a seperate object, so that the flash movie in question doesn't hang around waiting for the feed to come back.The problem is we have an asp app which is returning the status of about 1000 citrix terminals at once.... while this only takes 10-15 seconds to return, any kind of animated loader i build into the movie, stops playing while flash holds on the XML return, as the http response status never responds dead, but says "waiting" instead.Any kind of way of adding the XML load script as an object listener maybe...?
