I am having a problem where i am trying to get a swf file to loop. I am starting with a mp4 of a slideshow i have made.
I can import it to flash and export it as a .swf file but it does not loop.
Does anyone know of a way to get it to export a file that loops?
I'm trying to create a simple flash that will draw the Mandelbrot set by looping through coordinates, sending those coordinates through iterations of the Mandelbrot function and drawing a line at those coordinates, who's color is dependent upon the amount of iterations taken. Here is that code:
ActionScript Code:
var dot:Sprite = new Sprite()
this.addChild(dot)
for (var X:int = 0; X <= 500; X++) { //Iteration for horizontal
[code]....
I'm new to this actionscript stuff and I'm having trouble making my swf file loop over and over. I have several movie clips in my scene and in the last movie clip, in the "actions" layer, in the last frame, I put "gotoAndPlay(1);" hoping that this would make the file loop over and over.
Instead, I get a error message:
1120: Access of undefined property social_media_mc.
How I can make my swf loop over and over?
I'm trying to create a simple looping background with code only (and one library item). It's going to be used in a game I'm making.
I place the graphics in an array and tell them to move in an Enter Frame loop, then, I want to remove the graphics that surpasses a set position on the stage and move it to the start of the array.[code]...
And how I would move the graphics to the start of the array, I simply don't know :( If I get this to work, I also want to figure out how to make more than one layer of looping graphics, if possible. But, do you think what would slow down the game a lot?
I'm trying to create an AS3 app with looping, seamless video background. The background is loaded from an flv. The problem thus far is with the seamless bit, because all the video looping tactics I've come accross regarding AS3 always seem to have that short but noticeable pause at the end of the video before going back to the beginning and playing again.
The best way I've determined to deal with this is to play a video and buffer the video frames as BitmapData objects into a queue of a defined length (without adding the video to stage). This way Rendering the video would then really involve popping each of those BitmapDatas into a Bitmap object attached to my stage in a timed manner, which then gets drawn.
Sort of like:
/*VideoBufferer loops the input video and queues frames and then updates*/
var vidbuffer:VideoBufferer = new MyVideo("video.flv",outputImage)
var outputImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
stage.addChild(outputImage);
//forgive syntax, this is pseudoCode
timed process that happens X times per second{
outputImage.bitmapData = vidbuffer.popBitmapData();
//returns bitmap data from the queue }
I don't care about sound. However I seem to not know how to implement this desired VideoBufferer class as I don't know how to play a video without adding it to stage and grabbing frames from it. How to implement the frame grabbing side of VideoBufferer?
I found a tutorial online that showed me how to create a looping background animation (falling leaves) but the code is in Actionscript 2.0. I am in the process of trying to covert the code to Actionscript 3.0 but there are still a few things I'm having trouble with (i.e. setRGB, duplicateMovieClip, etc).
Code:
leafNumber = 30;
for (i=0;
i<leafNumber; i++) {
newLeaf = leaf.duplicateMovieClip("leaf"+i, i);
newLeaf.x = Math.random()*Stage.width;

I'm trying to create a radar effect (a looping circle which gets larger). Now, the way i do this with other programming languages is to draw a rectangle as the background with a low alpha amount. Then draw the circle growing on top of the background, then draw the background again in the loop.I've got it working like this in flash but it gets really slow after a very short time since I am adding children each time the loops goes through.
Code:
var radarSize:Number = 1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

Im having trouble getting my head around writing script for looping certain layers of a fla file.I have a project that I urgently need to finish and can't figure out how to achieve what I need.I have an fla file that has several animated layers.I want layer 1 to play once and stop while continuing to be visible (which I have achieved).I then need to play layer 2, layer 3 and layer 4, and loop these layers continuosly without relooping layer 1.

gotoAndPlay(1);
I'm working with a swf file (a simple flash movie) and I am trying to get it to loop. I've tried setting loop="true" in the embed tag, and for the object.
Does this mean that the problem is in the swf file itself?

View 6 RepliesI'm having a problem with my onPress actions when reading them form an XML file. Here's what I'm trying to do: Read xml file: duplicate movie clip according to how many xml items there are. Place a different onPress action to each movie clip according to what the corresponding path is in the xml. My problem is that each time I press any movieclip I always get the last path in the xml file. The loop is over writing the value and when the onPress function is called it uses the last value. How do I get the onPress to remember which movie clip it is and use the appropriate onPress action?

I have done before, but unfortunately no longer have the FLA file. The idea is to have a web page header that has some eye-catching animated messages that keep changing to the next one after a few seconds.
An XML file (header-messages.xml) contains one line per message, and also a hyperlink, see example below
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<message1 lineOne="Special offer on red widgets" hyperLink="/special-offer.htm" />
<message1 lineOne="Read our latest news" hyperLink="/latest-news.htm" />

I am trying to find a workaround to the problem of looping mp3 files, basically the silence in the transition (from end to start). I could use wav files but I need to load the file externally, which makes not possible to use wav. So I did this
HTML Code:
var channel:SoundChannel = myMp3.play();
channel. addEventListener (Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onComplete);
[Code]....
Edit: Now I know it is not a problem of flash, it is problem of the mp3 format itself.
How can I stop my Logo.swf file from looping. Actually the external Logo.swf file doesn't contain any looping code inside it. If I open it in any flash player it animates only one time. Writing "stop();" in code stops all other animations which I don't want.
Code:
var J:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(J);
J.load(new URLRequest("Logo.swf"));
J.x = 275;
J.y = 25;

Ive created a banner ad in AS 1.0-2.0. The ad can only loop 4 times then it must stop. The following code does this at frame 170. The timeline is 170 frames in length, and this code is keyframed on an actions layer on frame 170 - however, I'd like the final stopped flash swf file to occur at frame 155. I can't just put this code on frame 155 - it skips a whole section of animation (from frames 155 to 170) that I want to keep in the loops.
loop = loop + 1
if (loop < 4) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
this.stop();
}
I want to get my flv file looping within the swf. I've used the FLVPlayback Component. I've given the flv file the instance name of "vid". Actionscript is as follows:
import fl.video.*;
vid.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, rewind);
function rewind(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {
vid.autoRewind = true;
vid.play();
}
The error message I get at runtime is: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETEthrough a reference with static type class.
I'm building an Air application (straight AS3 no flex) that embeds and displays a .swf file. [code]Not only does this not add the .swf file to the display list like I want it to but it seems to run over and over again. "hello" fills up the output window from the trace statement like it's running every frame.The code loads a .jpg just fine so it must be a problem specific to flash files. I would think I would get some kind of security error if there was a conflict not this strange looping constructor. Does anybody have any ideas what is causing this behavior?So I think what was happening is that because both flash files shared the same application domain and they both had "Main.as" as the main class file it was running the constructor over and over again.I've updated my code above to show my unsuccessful attempts to load the external .swf with a different application domain.

I just started doing AS3 for Flash and I'm trying to create a flash app that has 2 things inside. An InputTextBox which is called txt_userinput and a Button called btn_submit.Bascially, the user just need to type in some word in the InputTextBox and press btn_submit. The data will then be sent to a testing.TXT in my DESKTOP. My .FLA file is in MY DOCUMENTS while the testing.TXT is in my DESKTOP.
Question 1: Question is, how do I make the data from txt_userinput to be sent to the .TXT in my DESKTOP?For example, the user typed "Hello, how are you?" in the InputTextBox. In the .TXT file, I want it to show "Hello, how are you?".
PS: testing.TXT file is already created in the desktop, just waiting for flash to write the data in and keeps on adding more data in the future in the following format.
i would like to create a composite from different sources ( video, bitmap) and save it as a swf file.is this possible within the flash runtime ?
