View 1 RepliesI am makine my first attempt at coding a site with Actionscript 3. I have coded two buttons, both directing to another scene. The first one works. The second one stops the timeline and never gets read. Here is the code on frame 65:

Keep in mind that I've been teaching myself AS for the past couple of days FROM SCRATCH. don't throw out comments like "what the hell are you doing that for?". If there's a way you can improve on the following, please let me know politely
I've been looking around everywhere to find a wait function and found nothing that will actually stop the code. I also read up on why it doesn't exist (because after 15 seconds browsers think Flash has become unstable).

What I would like to do is, once some condition is met, tell the parser to 'gotoAndStop' on the next frame AND ignore the rest of the code on the page below the 'gotoAndStop'.Is there a way to do this? I know I could wrap everythin on that page in a 'if-else'.I am redoing someone else's project, I normally don't use multiple frames, normally I do it all on one frame with code.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a mini-game, so ive got various scenes and stuff going on. I found this rain effect [url]... and it works fine and looks pretty good, the problem is I don't know how to get the damn thing to stop! I'm a beginner so know very little actionscript and can't figure this out myself. I do not want the timeline to stop playing only for the rain to stop.
View 5 RepliesHow can I write the Actionscript3 code if I want to start MyLogo 5 seconds after loading my webpage and then stop for 1minute and loop in the same manner.The following is the code right on my Actions_Layer:
var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);l.load(new URLRequest("MyLogo.swf"));l.x = 17;l.y = 60;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);

I started a tutorial that didnt have part 3 and have struggled changing the code but still cant get my stop button to work with this - loading in sound file.
instance of stop is: stop_mc and of play: buttonPlay. Both are on stage on the same layer, with actions on the other layer in the only keyframe. actually I only have one song so dont need the var, but just want only to see the play button at the start, and once activated and playing only see the stop button. etc

I am working on a project and I have a bunch of AS3 code where it makes an image flip to a second image and then back to the first image. this code is all on frame 1 in the timeline. I want to put some tweens on following frames and then have the image link to certain points on the timeline. however i cannot get it to stop when i play it. it plays all the AS3 code and all of the tweens.below is my code: so how do i get frame 2 and up to not play unless directed to.
import fl.transitions.easing.Strong;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
con.sidea.flip.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,onflip);[code]...
I'm working on a music player in Flash actionscript 2.0, because I can't get any codes that I've found for 3.0 to work. So surely it's obvious that I am not a coder. I've made each of the three songs have it's own play button, with its name on it. The buttons play like they should, however, if a song is playing and you choose to play another instead, the second song will play over the first. So the first song is not stopping. I have a stop button that will terminate all of the sounds. But since the player will be publicly displayed, I want to make sure that people aren't inconvenienced by having to use the stop button every time that they want to change songs while one is in play. I'm having the same overlapping problem if a song button is double clicked or mistakenly pressed while it's already playing.Here is the code for one of the buttons. Can I add the stop function to it? If so, how? Or do I need a completely different code to achieve this?
Code:
apartofme_button.onRelease = function(){
mySong = new Sound();

Now I'm working on a Website which contains a XML Carousel Gallery, with the coding below.Now this all happens on the homepage. I would like to stop the xml on other frames though. Is there any coding I can use on my Buttons, to stop the XML working while going to another frame?
stop();
var folder:String = "thumbnails/";// a folder for thumbnail files + an XML file
var total:Number;
var radiusX:Number =180;
var radiusY:Number = 10;

View 1 RepliesI am using CS4 AS3. I have a button that starts a function that creates dynamic buttons on the stage. I have another button that when pressed is to stop the previous function. I am relatively new at this and don't know how to code the STOP button so that it will stop the actions started by the first button.

View 3 RepliesOk so I have this simple animation I created of a circle that moves from one side of the stage to the other. I have added a new layer and called it buttons. On this layer I have added 2 buttons. One for start and another one for stop. The purpose is to get my circle to move from one side of the stage to the other but be able to use my buttons so that I can start and stop the animations at random times during playback. I fixed all my compiler errors now the problem lies in that everytime I click the start or the stop button I get an output error. I have a 3rd layer in which is titled actions and this is where all my code is posted. I removed that layer and placed my code in the first frame of the buttons layer to see if this would change anything but I still get the same output errors. So I just added back my actions layer. What could I be doing wrong? I have made sure to name all my movie clips and buttons correctly and I even added an instance name to them.[code]Here is my code and the errors I am getting when I press the play and stop button on test.Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

The 'CLOSE' button under it, unloads the level the vid sits in plus the butterflies swf just incase this devil code is still lurking. So go ahead and close it. And wait a few seconds and the WHOLE site loops.

View 3 RepliesMy Flash file is loaded with around 50 vector (animated) images which I have been working on for a long time... and I've just managed to rip them all in under 3 minutes!
View 4 RepliesI'm trying this:
- create some asset in library, export for as in frame 1
- export an assets.swc, and set the relative library path publish option in othes flas that use assets.swc
- Then, there's a Main.as document class that uses other classes tha use the assets in assets.swc
Problems start when some asset has some code inside. Say, a button with stopped event states. Well, the stop() commands don't get executed, so the buttons are effectively instantiated, but their timeline plays until the end. Probably because they're not initialized in the timeline (being exported in frame 1, so, in fact, before).Usually, without swc, to solve this problem one would put all assets in frame 2 and then check for cuttentFrame == 3 (http:url...). This is what I'd really like to avoid. And from here the question: is that possible? Is there a way (in flash, not flax) to use swc to properly get assets containing some simple code (usually stop commands) in their timeline?
Is it possible to add a "watchdog" to a variable so that it fires an event if that variable changes value?
I know that I can have a loop testing every frame, but that seems unelegant.
im getting really frustrated because i can not watch any of the NHL videos on [url]......i have the latest FLASH plugin but i just get a black screen when trying to view a video. Im running vista.
View 2 RepliesHow can I 'watch' for changes in the _width, scroll, maxscroll properties other than onEnterFrame / setInterval etc. Btw. I tryed <object>.watch but found this in the AS ref:
"Generally, predefined ActionScript properties, such as _x, _y, _width, and _height, are getter/setter properties and cannot be watched with Object.watch(). "
Why do I need this? Im making a dynamic textfield with a scrollbar that will display loaded text, but here's the catch. The site is on a single frame, and has a button that uses a resizeTo() function (a Flash extension) on the textfield and changes it's _width value. So thats why I need to update these values for the scrollbar to be accurate.
i'm Creating a Game and Watch style game. Now with these games the everything works off keyframes so I've been trying to create a character that spawns in(he will first flash in over a couple of key frames, then on labeled keyframes are animations of him holding objects), then depending on a chance it will spawn either 1 or the other power up. Then you can go up to him and collect the item, he will disappear. here is some code for the idea i have for spawning, but how can i then call upon random outcomes between the two options that are 'labeled' inside the class. basical four keyframes of him flashing then four of him with a jug labeles "oil" then four of him with food labled "kabab". is it possible?

How do you stop the flash debugger if the code is running an infinite loop, or very very slowly?
I put too many trace() statements in, and it is taking forever. I know I can ctrl+alt+delete and stop flash CS5, but is there an easier way?
I use startDrag in the code and it works. But when I try stopDrag it doesn't stop to drag.
