I have a looping aquarium with looping swimming fish. I want to be able to click the fish and they make a pop-up appear with info about them. I can't figure out the code to launch the pop-up? I am using CS3 and action script 2.0.
View 5 RepliesI am working on this animation where, after 3 loops of the movie, I need to stop it ?
View 5 RepliesI'm a newbie to Flash. I have created a basic screensaver which has 8 different layers. 7 are hidden and 1 plays through as it is now. I was wondering if there is any way that on completing the timeline, it starts the timeline again and then shows the second layer and masks the 1st one. It would then do the same, masking the 2nd layer and showing the 3rd and so on.
View 1 RepliesI have no idea how to use AS3 and I was needing to make my project looping 3 times from the start to the end but stopping on the last frame after the 3rd time it loops. I have no idea how to do this without copying all the frames.
View 2 RepliesA project I am am working on has an extremely strange font problem. We have completely unpredictable glyphs missing on Mac compilations inspite of correct font embedding and correct font installations on the machines. Here is some of the context:
1. The Font is a custom truetype font which belongs to the client.
2. We are working on CS5 on the Mac, and CS4 on PC.
3. We are using classic dynamic texts, assigning striungs to the text attribut (not to htmlText). However the probel also occurrs with other classic text modes (single-line, multi line, kerening on or off, etc)
4. It is not predictable whether the glyphs of the font will show or not on the Mac CS5 compilations or not.
5. The issue does not seem to occurr with standard fonts like Courier or Helvetica.
6. Compiling on CS4 on PC works correctly.
This is probably an easy one, but I don't know the proper AS2 code, or where to put it within the code listed below.
What I have is an external FLV loading in my SWF with a Net Stream. Everything is working, but the video loops when it gets to the end. How can I make the video stop after it ends, and stay on the last frame?[code]...
I have section of code which works for bouncing some fish movie clips off of the 'ceiling':[code].....

I'm trying to get a video I've placed on stage in an FLV component to Loop to the beginning once it's finished playing.However, once it plays through it stops and doesn't loop round, although the trace statement I'm calling in the loopVideo function is appearing in the output window?[code]

How can you take a video clip and keep it looping in the background while you place other conten over it?

i'm using the XML Video Playlist tutorial and have it working like a charm, but my issue is that once a video is done playing, i'd like it to stop. Instead, it starts the video over. i tried adapting the Code: Select allfunction restartIt() {ns.seek(0); by giving a false value, but it didn't change anything. I also added a Code: Select all<param name="loop" value="false" /> to my web page, but that didn't help.
View 1 Repliesim currently building a site with 3 buttons and each buttons loads an external swf for each section of the site on a empty movie clip, im having an issue with the video section that has an video thumb gallery loading flv videos,
every time i try to go somewhere else in the site, the video sound continues to play (loop) behind the scene.
this is the actionscript code im using for my buttons.

I am using flash cs3. I created my preloader in a separate scene. calling the scene I want. what I wanted was the preloader to load and play the all next scene, where I have my core website running.
it works fine till one point! here is my drama it loads the scene I want, but it gets stuck in a loop.

I have an onEnterFrame function controlling all the movie clips in an array. The motion of each of these movie clips is controlled by a few variables speed, acceleration, etc that are modified on each enterFrame. I can't figure out how to create unique variables for each element in the array. At the moment my variables are the same for all the elements, and so the motions for each movie clip are the same.
I have used this code to add my movie clips into the array:
for(i = 0; i < starNumber; i++){ duplicateMovieClip(star, "star" + i, i); starArray.push(this["star" + String(i)]); }
Do I need to do a similar thing to create unique variables for each? Or is there something I need to do in my for(myClip in myArray) loop that is contained in my onEnterFrame function?
I've written a SWF distributor which GZIPs the SWF then sends it as an SWF content type, it works just if the SWF used to loop it no longer does. Any reason why the compressed SWF doesn't loop the video/animation?
View 2 RepliesI'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 have designed a site with a looping MP3 and video.
Problem is that the memory consumption of the Flash plugin goes up about 40mb every minute, and the site 'crashes' after a while. I would have thought that a single entity, that loops, would not have to re-load into memory, but this is what seems to be happening.
The looping video is approximately 800kb, and the MP3 is approximately 400kb.
how to minimize memory loss/consumption?
So i have been working on a project, its a digital portfolio. Now I have the Host Movie and and then I have a submovie which is loaded into the Host movie. That all works fine!
I have embedded a video onto the stage and when I click the exit button to go back to my host the video still plays. Here is my code.
function exit(event:MouseEvent):void {
var parentObj:Object=this.parent.parent;
parentObj.closeMovie();
}
[Code].....
I also have 3 other objects in the submovie which loads 3 other sub movies.
Inception!
They work fine, but yet again the video still plays in the background.
I have made a short movie which I intend to loop on the web using Flash CS3. I found setting up the FLVplayback component really easy and currently have the .swf playing my external .flv perfectly. Now I need to figure out how to loop the movie - seamlessly if possible. I found this video tutorial, but it appears I can't add actionscript to the FLVplayback component in CS3, and the parameters bit doesn't seem to have a option for it. I heard elsewhere that the best way to seamlessly loop a movie in Flash is to embed the movie. Is this true? If so, how do I go about doing this?
View 10 RepliesI am streaming an FLV as an intro video for a website. This intro video contains two HTML buttons (login + enter) overlayed using a transparent DIV. The client has specifically asked for the video to loop if the user clicks on "login" as they will need additional time to enter their details. However, if the user doesn't click on anything then they want the site to automatically carry on to the homepage. My question is: How do I get the HTML to communicate these conditions to my FLV player that is streaming the intro video? This is AS3.0.
View 19 RepliesI'm currently trying to implement a short video (10 seconds, looping) in a web page. Initially, we tried using HTML5 Video tag with .mov (and H.264 as video codec inside). The file size was a couple MB, but the servers we're using were at 99% CPU usage - which is way too high because they're stacked on top of one another and they could burn up if left at that pace for too long.
My question is simply: what is a good way to display a short 10 second looping video inside a web page that limits CPU usage and will keep a descent frame rate? We're exploring the option of good ol' Flash (SWF) files, but wanted to get some input.
I am trying to create an fla file which will load and play an flv file. Once the flv reaches the end I then need it to load in another flv file which will then loop continuosly thereafter.
I have found some AS3 code to do this but I need it in AS2 as i also need to get the file to communicate with an audio player file.
Ultimately I need to have the video file hold on loading and then start playing once the audio player has loaded and started playing.
video loading/playing/looping and/or the communication between 2 swf files to trigger the video playing
I'm having a problem with a .swf file created in Flash CS3. I want it to loop, which it does when I Test Movie in Flash, or when I play the .swf file in the Flash Player. But when I upload to my web space it stops looping.
I used the follwing script in the last frame of the file to create the loop:
gotoAndPlay(1);
I have a bunch of animated type but it continues to loop and I want it to stop on the last keyframe. How do I add a "stop" action or can I just turn off "looping" somewhere?

So I have a looping SWF file that I uploaded on my website. It played perfectly until I decided to add a preloader.
I set up the Flash file with 2 Scenes, "Preloader" and "Scene 1" .The Preloader scene will play just fine. After the preloader plays, Scene 1 then begins to play as it should. However, once the animation ends, instead of looping like it did before, it just stops on the first frame.
How can I get my SWF to play the Preloader, and then continue looping the main animation (Scene 1)?
