I just scanned in 16 frames from old 16 mm film and created a short clip in .swf, by default the clip is looping. I want it to loop, but all I want to do is place a 5 second pause at the end of the short 1 second clip before it starts up again. I am using CS4 Flash Professional.
View 4 RepliesCS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!
So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.

View 6 RepliesI have the basics down to create a play and stop button and add the actionscript 3 code to play and stop, and this works good, but I really want to be able to pause the clip and resume from the paused spot.Here is the basics...two layers..."AS3" for the scripts, "Buttons" for the buttons.two buttons named "playbtn" and "stopbtn".One frame for eachIn the Scripts frame, the code is:
var loadSnd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("bim1.mp3");var thisSnd:Sound = new Sound();thisSnd.load(loadSnd);
var sndTrans:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

I have some banners I am doing right now and have a pause timer question. I am fairly green at coding. In my first frame I have this:

I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.
I have page made everything in flash cs4 with background black, with many scenes but when jump from one to another one remains the space of .swf in target until it loads, I have proven thousand tricks but not it with himself, How I can avoid it?
View 1 RepliesI just acquired Flash, well CS4, I work with film and text and intend to develop a website to showcase my work, as they say. But I would like to make a stand-alone interactive piece that can be stored and created on a desktop then played, via external hard-drive or whatever (most likely a large piece of work, nore than a few gig) on someone else`s laptop; ie, not a website, just yet, but simply an interactive presentation that allows users to access film and text pieces from different menus; a media scrap-book if you like; a stand-alone box of ideas; there must be a way of doing this, rather than having everything in folders ready to show; does Flash have this capability? I know Director did.
View 13 Replieswondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a pause within a 'for loop' before it runs through the next loop? heres the script i've built up so far, i'm running off other variables and arrays to pull in the logos and the animating in is working fine except that they all run in at the same time, basically what i want is that they would run one after the other with a 5 second gap between them..[code]so i did that and put wait(delay); after the var boxcounter=2; in each of the If statements.. but no luck... can anyone shed any light? or suggest a way it get it to hold for a few seconds before running though the loop again? or am i going about this in completely the wrong way??!
View 5 Repliesi've been recently working on a game, which based on stills pictures. now, i've made a panoramic 360 swf file using PANO2VR. i've loaded the file into a movie clipe in flash using this code:
loadMovie ("1.swf", ir);
and nothing happened.
I have about 2 minutes of real life footage.
I need to put this in a "flash container" and make it advance frame by frame every time the UP key is pressed.
The faster the UP key is pressed, the faster the film should advance.
Accelleration and decelleration should seem "natural" (not bumpy and sudden).
I have a movie clip (scrollBar) in my site that contains a line of other movie clips moving across the stage (scrollContent1-4). Only two of these are visible at a time, so I have lined them all up, repeated the first two at the end, and have the animation looping.
I want each of the scrollContent1-4 clips to be clickable. It's all fine on the first loop, but once the clip reaches the end and returns to frame 1 the clips are no longer clickable.
I have a template and I need to replace the images, and then to add the big size image and to make a link between them.

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to insert flash file but I keep getting error messages that:
Not Found
The requested URL /annimations/Snow.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I firstly publish flash into both swf and http files. Then, I opened view source of the http file and pasted the code onto the dreamwaever file.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]" width="700" height="500" id="Snow" align="middle">

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="Snow.swf" />

In addition, I deleted code that swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) on the http file. The dreamweaver gave an error message that the code swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) can cause error when downloading the flash. Finally all http, swf and flash files were uploaded. But I still got the error message above. In the past, I managed to upload flash using the method above, although I did not get any message regarding swfobject.registerObject(FlashID).
I inserted video into flash movie. I loaded the .swf & .fla files onto a server and went into the properties in the flash movie and pointed to the server to pull the .fla file & the movie controls .swf file. I can preview the movie in flash with no problem. I am wanting to use the object code that was created as part of the .html file that was generated by flash and insert this into an article to display the video. I path the .swf file in the object code to point to where it resides on the server but the video will not play using just the object code. Is there a way to do this using just a object or embed code without the need for scripts?
View 1 RepliesHow can I pause within a for loop?
Not do some other function or pause the playhead, just:
for (i=0;i<=10;i++) {
trace(i);
wait for 1 second;
[Code].....
I can't make it wait within the loop. I can use setTimeout or setInterval to delay the calling of the for loop, but once it's called it just flips through all the iterations.

View 1 RepliesI have an animation with about 250 symbols (of six images) moving constantly for about 80 frames, after which it loops back to begin again. Between each loop, I get a pause. I have other looping animations without significant pauses (some with as many symbols), and I can't figure out why I get it here.

I am trying to create a Flash file that will export a JPEG file for a certain number of files, using Quasimondo's BitmapExporter class.
I can get it to successfully export 1 image, but I have a problem getting it to export an image for each element in the loop.
I need to pause the script (with an interval perhaps?) to allow the export to finish, then continue and do the same for every element in the loop. (in this case 5 times).
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import com.quasimondo.display.BitmapExporter;
// This is the bitmap that will be drawn

Im an Industrial Design student that has never really used any Flash before but need to use it now to mock up an interface design for a product/service I'm developing for my major project.
So far, in ActionScript 2.0, I have a picture of a TV and remote control and intend to design the interface over the top of the television picture and highlight buttons on the remote beside it, that the moderator can click to navigate around it.
To get across the idea that the interface pops up over the existing moving television picture I have imported an FLV of some television ads. My problem is that I want the Flash animation (everything but the FLV if you like) to pause and not loop, and the FLV to continue playing (and looping) in the background, but can't figure out how to do it. Ideally the FLV needs to continue playing, seamlessly behind the interface after the next button is clicked etc.
Wherever I seem to put a stop(); action it'll stop everything, including the FLV, and if I just extend the timeframe to the length of the video, it'll still stop at the end or just loop to the beginning of the entire SWF.
I have a movie clip that is preforming a repeating earthquake like effect. What I am attempting to do is have the function pause for a random interval between 2 and 10 seconds before repeating. This is the script I am using for the "earthquake" repeating effect.
onEnterFrame = function(){
mc._x = Math.random()*4;
mc._alpha = Math.random()*50+50;
mc._rotation = Math.random()*2;
}
Im trying to pause a loop in my flash animation. I have been trying bunch of codes nothing seems to work.
I have an actions layer.
The animation is 15 seconds. I will extend it to 30 seconds but i want few seconds pause between the 2 loop starts.
i tried to use setInterval() and Timer function, but it doesn't work

I have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval. I have a loop that I want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc. So I can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
aMenu = new Array();
aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu[i]);
}}
