I'm nesting a SWF inside my movie by so
Code:
var loading:Loader = new Loader();
loading.load(new URLRequest("loading.swf"));
placeholder.addChild(loading);
All is fine and dandy. But I would like playback of the nested swf to be stopped initially. This can be done by putting a 'stop()' call on the swf itself but I would really like to know if it's possible to do this from the parent movie?
I have three btns on stage, clicking on each one i want them to load an external mp3.The problem is the previous loaded sound doesn't stop when a new one is loaded so I have all sounds playing at the same time
View 3 RepliesI've tried a couple dozen things to try and stop this movie clip, even down to the bare bones basics and its not working.I have an imported TIFF sequence that i imported onto the stage of a movie clip. Its 73 frames long, i want it to stop on frame 73.So i add the usual stop(); command but it doesn't stop, it keeps looping.On the main layer i put this movieclip in i have an AS layer that also has stop(); and moviclip.stop();But it doesn't stop at all. it just keeps repeating.I put it down to this bare basic setup just to see if i could even stop it. But its not stopping.Layers -> and stuffScene 1Content - movieclipMCActionScript - stop(); movieclipMC.stop();Movieclip - keyframes consisting of image sequence 1-73. frame 73 has stop();
View 1 RepliesI have some bombs like this :
var sjunkBomb:Array = new Array;
for (var i:int = 0; i < sjunkBombMaxAntal; i++) {
var bomb = new sjunkbomb;[code]....
Each movieclip sjunkBomb contains an animated movieclip. When the bombs reach the bottom I want to stop the inside animation.I guess it's better to stop them so they affect the rest of the game if there are a lot of bombs. I know how to hide them with sjunkBomb[x] .visible = false; but if I want to stop them? sjunkBomb[x].stop(); doesn't work!?
I have a movie clip that scrolls side to side when you rollover it but when the mouse is off it continues to scroll - I need the movieclip to slow to a stop when the mouse rolls of the movieclip. I've have been playing arounds with the hitest code (red) but this does not fix it... Its prolly a simple problem - I am not much of a coder....

i'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 RepliesI'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons

I know how to stop the timeline ( loaded_swf.stop() ) but how to completely stop and restart all actionscripting?
I have a bunch of already-made particle effect swf's and fla's that need to be converted to .mov's, ideally by saving out the frames. I can iterate through the frames by pausing the action on each particle, but it requires me to rewrite a bunch of of the effects.
I'm having a problem with stopping loaded movies
- on Frame1 I have all Buttons and movie names.
- On Frame2, I've created a Movie Clip
- By clicking a link / Button on frame1, the action is to take to Frame 2 and load movie and play. It is working fine up to this part.
Then it is on infinity loop. It never stops. How to stop the movie and take the control back to Frame1 with all links.
I have a main swf into which has a number of clip instances which serve as buttons to load separate swf files dynamically. The swf I'm testing has stop(); actions on various frames, but when loaded it simply plays through to the end and loops continuously.I was able to use onLoadInit to stop the loaded swf in the first frame, but have failed at various efforts to direct the clip to play again in the manner that I desire- i.e. stopping at the various pause points until a click starts it playing again.

now how can I:
a.) stop(); (or equivelent) someMovie.swf?
b.) get the basics about someMovie.swf, like .currentFrame and .totalFrames?
I have a loaded .swf that has the necesary stops to just play once and stop. It works when testing the movie, but once uploaded to the server, it loops forever, any ideas, I am using ActionScript 2.0

View 2 RepliesHere s my problem, my stage contains 2 loaders, on the top there s an swf that contains buttons (my menu) and on the botom it loads in my content swf's.works out fine for fotos and so one, but im stuck when the loaded content is a video..
on my videoswf i ve got a play and a return(with stop) button, to return back to a frame to select what video should be played.. those buttons work perfectly, of course
the problem is now, that when i play the video and press a button from the upper loaded swf ( the menu) it loads another swf as usual,.. but the sound of the video still plays (so there has to be a child somewhere)..
now, how can i erase that movie instance when i cant excess it from the upper swf? is there a global value like stopEveryF*thing, or something like that ?
was wondering if is there any way to stop sound (stream sound put on a frame as it have to be sync to an animation) from a loaded swf.I know SoundMixer but I don't want to stop sound from my main swf, that have the possibilities to load external flv.

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.

View 3 RepliesI load an image into a MovieClip. At a second time I want to move this image to another MovieClip.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.
View 3 RepliesI have created a SWF file using a class I created as the main class for the swf. this swf is a movieclip with a frame labeld "open" and a stop action at the last frame the main class of the SWF:[code]the problem is when I run the open function, after loading the swf it doesn't stop at the last frame. in fact it does not stop in any of theframes that have stop action in them. So far what i figured out is that if don't convert the content to PageSwf, and put it in a genereal variable and the run the open function it works just fine.[code]

I've use AS3 Youtube API to load youtube video into my flash file, let's call it youtube.swf
I've a main.swf and it loaded youtube.swf into it's stage.I try to unload this youtube.swf and load in another new.swf, but the sound of youtube still running.
I've insert the player.destroy() in the main.swf but it's not working too.
Any idea that I can destroy the youtube video with the script in main.swf?
I have a loaded swf that contains a sound object, however, when the clip is removed the sound continues, how can i remove the sound?
View 9 RepliesI have a project in which the main swf loads another into it. The swf that gets loaded has an xml driven slideshow that runs on a timer. To view what the timer was doing in the output I traced the name of each photo as the timer fired. When I unload the swf I've noticed that though it appears to be gone from the stage the timer continues to fire and the images are listed in the output. I know that I can stop a timer by using
ActionScript Code:
photoTimer.stop();
but I can't figure out how to stop the timer in an externally loaded swf. I'm using this code to remove the swf
ActionScript Code: this.mc_content_box.mc_placeholder.removeChild(contentLoader); I'm worried that the timer may be loading the photos in the background somehow and increasing the workload.
I'm loading an external swf file that has some sounds in it (to the main swf). The swf contents never leave the movie but it does get pushed to the site when it's not in view.
The user can bring it back in view by pressing on a left/right button. So when it's not in view... or tweening out of view I need the sounds to stop.
Since the loaded swf is never unloaded, what should I look at to accomplish this... communicating with the loaded swf, etc?
I've loaded an swf in a loader. Is there any way to stop the loaded swf at the currentframe?
View 2 RepliesI have loaded a swf into a fla. The page I loaded it on has a scroll bar. I need the loaded swf to stay at the top of the page and not move when the page is scrolled. Here is my code so far.
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("calendar.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.x = 100;

I already have an mp3 player I've built that uses dynamic text (song title and track info) and variables to load an mp3 dynamically through .php & FlashVars. I only need 1 mp3 playing at one time and so this method works great for me. This way I can update it without going into Flash at all (but XML is overkill so no need for that either). Thing is, I would like to have a play and stop button that actually stops and starts the track where it last was stopped / paused, rather than resuming from the beginning. I also have built in a volume slider.
Here is the Actionscript I've been using:
On Volume Slider MC [mySlider]:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound(mp3Title,true);
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mySound.setVolume(_root.volume);
[Code] .....
It Works ok, but like I said...stop does not "pause" the mp3 but rather stops it irrecoverably. Play starts from the beginning which I would like to avoid.
