I'm working on a simple play/pause control for a movie clip.
Is there some property on movieclips that I can query to find if the movieclip is currently playing or stopped?
Otherwise, I figure I could add one myself, and alter it every time I play or stop the movie clip, but I don't want to.
I have modified the original to include more head shots accompanied by audio clips. I have worked out the playing of the clips on release. I realize now that people may not want to listen to entire clip. Each mug shot serves as the button to hear the person talk. I do not know how to modify the button code for it to be a toggle. I guess it would need to be some kind of "play if, stop if" The only part of concern is loading playing the the audio, no changes need to be made to the rollover functionality.
mugWidth = 60; //change these if you change the size of your mugshots
mugHeight = 60; //change to your mugshot height
//instantiate sound and textformat classes

I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...
View 7 RepliesI would like a certain part of a movie clip to play dependant on the button pressed. And to be honest I am a massive newb when it comes to flash[code]...
This is what I have at the moment and it isn't working, I know this is wrong but i cannot think how to write it the way AS3 would understand it. The Idea is that I would like the Movie clip to play dependant on what button was pressed. So if number one button was pressed it would play frames 1-10 of the movie clip, (and then loop), and if number two button was pressed it would play frames 1-20 of the movie clip ( and then loop). And so on for about 15 different buttons.
i have a movie clip symbol on the stagei have set up a "CLICK" event listener. in the nction it saysCode:MC.play();how can i make it stop after playing once? WHY IS THIS SO HARD!i tried putting a stop(); inside the movie clips last frame but that did nothing
View 3 Repliesi have an animated title that i would add some blood to roll across the title (as a flash movie clip) and then stop at a certain point - Forever!
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);function myFunction(event:Event) { blood_mc.play(); blood_mc.gotoAndStop(20);}
This is what i have so far but the blood does not play then stop/pause when the blood reaches the bottom point of the title ( like its meant to) just the end frame of the blood on the title is displayed - no movement can this be done.
i want it to be stopped when tjhe page opens then when you mouse over the clip plays to frame 10 and STOPS while the mouse is over it then when the mouse is no longer over it i want the movie clip to play in reverse and stop
View 2 RepliesWe have a short video of a street, which we are looking to pause when it is clicked and then all the hazards turn into drawings and flash. Then when you hover over a hazard it tells you some info about it.I have managed to get the video to stop when clicked, using the below code but can't get the movie clip of the flashing hazards to play at the same time. Is it even possible?

I'm new to flash and just need to do a simple task but I can't manage to get it to work. I'm trying to import a video (flv) into a SWF container and need to AS functions which should be exposed to JS (using liveconnect or anything else). These two function should toggle sound on/off and toggle play/pause. I dont need any user interface or a full featured player, just these two functions.

View 2 RepliesCode:
on (press) {
if(srchMC._visible)
[code]......
I want to put another MC in place of the srchMC, by toggling with this same button. Can I do that? Would I just change the else statement to say MC2._visible=true; Also, when test the file is there a way to have the MC's hidden when the file loads, until the button is pressed? Is that an OnLoad statement?
I�m trying to toggle the movie clips visibility by passing in a parameter. I have seen an example of this before, but can�t remember how it�s done. Here is the basic set up below. Basically, you can set one of the movie clip visible while the other movie clips are invisible by passing in a parameter.
function toggleVisible(){
one.visible==false;
two.visible=false;
[code]....
Is it possible to load a symbol from the library into an empty movie clip using an array?
I have a toggle button that used a text field originally and an array was used in the toggle function to switch the text in that field. The client requested to have icons instead of text so I created symbols in the library and tried to use attachMovie but didn't work.[code]...
I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

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 5 RepliesI'm writing a little program where when the user presses space, a beam firing movie clip is played.
Code:
function checkKeysBeam(event:KeyboardEvent) {
if (event.keyCode == 32) {

However, the beam clip never plays. It will play if I remove the beam.stop() but it will only play in a continuous loop. How do I make it where when I press the space bar the beam clip plays once and the stops?
I am importing a movie clip as a symbol from a SWF using Embed to a AS3 program and, after attaching the movie clip to the stage, the movie clip keeps repeating. Before you ask I have indeed creating a script layer and put a "stop()" on the last frame. In fact the swf containing the symbol works perfectly fine when executed on its own or in Flashdevelop (my choosen IDE). Its only when imported does the clip keep repeating.Here is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
