to stop the playhead at a frame in a movieclip should AS3 use "MovieClip(this).stop();" rather than just "stop();" ?
the movieclip is nested within several others dynamically and therefore cannot easily be referenced directly from the stage, if that would be otherwise preferable...
How to detect the MovieClip playhead that is in play() condition or stop() in one frame?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a website that should have music playing abilities. (Sounds cool that way lol). I have a music player MovieClip and in it, it has some actions. It is placed on a frame on the main timeline. I also have an actions layer that has some code controlling other contents of that page on the site.
The music player works fine but when I leave the frame which the music player is loaded on the main timeline, the music keeps playing. How do I stop it?
I am trying to stop the playhead from within a movie clip and when I test the scene (the movieclip) it works but when I test the main timeline scene, it stops the frame within the movie clip but continues on the main timeline. On the frames that stop I am using a script that will allow it to continue when the space bar is pressed. How can I stop it on the main timeline, and within the movie clip at the same time?Is their a way to do something like _root.stop(); or something?

I already try to put many different type action in frame one of stage
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("2"); //NOT WORK

So I made a ridiculously long Flash animation, but now I have to break down to certain parts. It's all made in one scene.
My question is can I start the playhead on a frame other than frame 1. Say frame 595, I've tried gotoAndPlay(595);, but to no avail. I've searched for a good 2 hours on this too. Is something so simple not possible in Flash?
I want my MovieClip to play from frame 5 to frame 30 and then stop. How can I do this?
View 5 RepliesI 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. 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'm trying to get a movieclip within a movieclip to stop playing when it reaches its last frame. let me describe my problem: it should start playing when the user rolls over the movieclip that is containing it(i'll call this mc1, and the movieclip within it mc2). i've put a stop action in mc2's last frame but it won't stop and plays again and again. one thing i should point out is that there is a variable in mc1 that tells the movie whether it's ok to play the movie in reverse when the user rolls over mc1, if this is false, that means that it plays normally(not in reverse). i'm using "play()" to play mc1 when the user rolls over it and this is where i think the problem is; even though the last frame of mc2 has a stop action, it is somehow told to play again? anyways, this is just a guess, i haven't figured out why or how to fix it. i'm not sure if my explanation was too hard to understand so i'll try to clarify it if anyone wants me to.
View 1 Replieshow will be actionScript for waiting the play head in a frame for 5 second ?
View 5 RepliesIf I have for example a simple timeline with 2 labels.The first one is called "Intro" and the second one is called "Loop".So I would like to make the playhead start on frame 1 ("Intro" starts) and when it gets to frame 100 ("Loop" ends), make it loop 3 times and then go back to frame 1.So I would simply write the code:
[code]...
Lets say it does, how would it increment loops to more than 1, if when its incremented to 1 the playhead goes to frame 1, runs that code again, so loops would be assigned 0 again, right?
im looking to be able to use a mouse click to trigger an animation of something spinning. but depending on which event listener is clicked i want the animation to stop at a specific frame for each thus allow further mouse clicks and feature access. does anyone know how i can do this in AS3?

View 1 RepliesI am building an application for a real life game. When the players of the game have finished they get to see a movie. That movie is embedded in a movieclip and the last frame has to be shown when the movie has played.

I would like to know: What do I have to do to stop the movieclip at the last frame, so the last frame is on the screen?
I have this EMERGENCY right now! I need to get this specific movie clip (controlled by a button) to stop at certain frames based on the day.
So what I'd like is for when someone presses the button, it instructs a movie clip to play - all this is based on what day of the month it is..in this example, it's today. The date part of this script works fine.[code]...
the script works fine...but I'd like the in between stuff. I have the movie clip stopped on frame 1 and I want it to play from frame 2 and stop at frame 23 if it's the 17th...in fact I'll have more if statements to go along with all this, but that's just cut and paste.[code]...
How do I stop() a movieclip that's on a different frame from the button ie the code? Like, just writing the instance name of said movieclip and .stop(); obviously isn't working
View 9 RepliesI am in the final stages of building my new web site: http:[url]....On most of the pages in the portfolio there is a video "Commentary" link (top right corner).Each of the commentaries are flv called up by f.ex:
myMCL.loadClip("http:url.....);
Once the video is done playing, it fades to black.I would really like the flv to trigger an event to send the playhead to another frame and load another swf.I could use a pause command and let the main time line pause so many milliseconds and then proceed, but it is probably not consistent how long it takes each viewer to download the video and watch it.
How do i tell the playhead to gotoAndStop(); on frame 2 of the main timeline from a class file?....I'm trying to oop this program.
View 2 RepliesOk so I have a function (loadthm1) on frame 1 of the main time line. I want to call it from inside a movie clip as the playhead passes a frame. In as2 I could just say _parent or _root.functionName(); but in as3 I get a undefined method error. How do I point to the function and call it?

var thmLoader1:Loader;
function loadthm1(url:String):void {

I can not make the above stop when the root moves on to frame 2.
In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}
want that everytime someone has wrong a letter, a frame of my movieclip appears and stop there until there's another error. I did it this why, but appears all the movieclip in the very first error. Here's the code.

var charpress:String=(String.fromCharCode(event.charCo de));
var trouve:Boolean;

I have a movie clip that loads variables from an XML file. One of those variables is a number between 1 and 100. I have an movie clip file of a "speedometer" that has a needle. The needle is set with a motion tween between frame #1 and frame #100. The number in the XML file is, currently, set to "gotoAndStop" to the corresponding frame # in the speedometer movie clip. What I want to do is for the speedometer to "play" and THEN stop at the frame # that corresponds to what the XML is feeding it. All of this happens "on load". There is no "button" that activates it.
Here's the code I have for the parsing the XML into the speedometer. This is working. I just want it to "play" then "stop".
Code:
var SideGRAPH_01_01:XMLList=contentINPUT_01.StudentRptItemDetailDefinitions.StudentRptItemDetailDefinition.(@StudentRptItemDetailID=="5").(@Seq=="1").attribute("Value");
for each (var GRAPHElement_01_01:XML in SideGRAPH_01_01) {
MovieClip(root).page_01.dashboard.speedometer.gotoAndStop(GRAPHElement_01_01);
}
I am converting complex animations from vector to bitmap. It is easy to convert them to bitmap when the animations are in the main timeline. However, when there are animations inside animations it all becomes very messy because I need to move all those playheads recursively.
