Flash 10 :: Stop Movie Clip Within Button?
Apr 6, 2011
I have a feeling this is a very simple thing to do, but I just can't seem to find an answer by simply googling it.
I have no other actionscript in this whole .fla file except a stop();
I have a button, inside the button I have a movie clip at the OVER location.
That movie clip simply plays 10 frames, and at the last frame I set the action stop();
All I want it to do is stop these 10 frames from looping, while the scene keeps doing what it does. Instead, as soon as the 10th frame inside that movie clip plays, it stops the whole scene.

I had a button in scene and it worked perfectly.Then I put it in the movie clip, so it appeared only when mouse was over other button and then it stopped working.This is the code:
on(release){
mx.behaviors.DepthControl.bringToFront(_root.poloz enie_movie);
_root.polozenie_movie.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Button should start a movie clip different than it is itself.

I'm using a movie clip as a button to show content on a page, effectively its like a new page of the website. Problem is, with the script im using for it, once the content is show, the button is still active and if clicked again, will re-load the content. I want a way to effectively disable the button whist the content is shown.
this.services_inner.buttonMode = true;
this.services_inner.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollOver_services);
this.services_inner.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_services);

i'm trying to write the code for a flash animation which uses different movie clips and buttons.all the movie clips are in the same layer but i've written code to make all but one invisible when the animation loads.
dance._visible = false;
harmonica._visible = false;
violin._visible = false;
i've then got buttons which are supposed to make the movie clips visible, but then disapear again after the clip has played.i want to be able to press one button to have one clip start playing, but then i want to be able to press another button which stops that movie clip and starts a new one playing.this is what i came up with but it doesn't work
on (press) {
violin.stop();
harmonica.stop();[code]....
this script is from one of the buttons which is supposed to start the movieclip harmonica and stop violin playing.i've got the same code for violin but the other way round.when i press a button it works fine and plays the clip which then disapears (leaving a default clip which plays all the time visible) but pressing buttons to interrupt the clip and play another one don't work properly. the movie clips don't stop and reset when they are interupted. they kind of pause instead. when i go to play a clip that has previously been interrupted it starts from where it has been paused and not from the beginning

I have two arrows that control an animated movie clip that has words scrolling vertically. When you click on one arrow it plays the movieclip forward, and when you click on the other arrow it plays the movieclip backward. I want you to have to keep clicking on the forward arrow to have it continue animating through the different words. I've place stop actions at the points I want the movieclip to stop animating but when you click the forward or backword button it never stops and just plays through the whole thing. [URL]

I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote:
ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code:
stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....

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.*;

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.

I'm extremely new to flash, having just started using it this semester for a class. I'm putting together a fairly simple "portfolio slideshow" (it's a mock up for a website) for an assignment, but ran into some issues.
I have two sections on the "home page"; still images and time-based files. Each file is activated by a button (a thumbnail of the image). Ideally, when you click on the thumbnail, it brings up the image, or the movie. I got the buttons to work fine for navigating through the still images, but I can't get them to work for the movie files. I want to be able to click the button and have the movie file pop up. I have a feeling it has something to do with mistakes during importing the files, or just me not knowing the script.

private var _button:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();
private var _fileList:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();

I have a movie clip starting in scene 1, frame mc_text In its own time line, mc_text contains a classic tween of mc_text2 which fades in text going from alpha 0% to alpha 100% I tried an action: stop(); within mc_text ( on last frame, a keyframe)And I entered an instance name for mc_text: inst_text, which I stopped with a keyframe in scene one inst_text.stop();My shape tween stops, however - that clip keeps on looping no matter if I make it a motion or classic tween.
