I have a main movie on my site with buttons that display linked movies in the right half of that main movie. One of the movies is the kind that I only want to play through once, then stop. In the FLA file of that linked movie I've put a stop(); action in the final frame, and when played alone it stops accordingly. But when it plays as a linked movie, it continues to loop. What can I do about this? The button script on the movie doing the importing is:
on (press) {gotoAndStop("flash_dev");
flash_mc.loadMovie("cubeintro.swf");
clearInterval(_root.myInterval); }
i have a movie that has a swf player practically on every page playing a number of different videos.When I export it usually and play it on another computer the flash file won't play the videos as they simply are not there
I am trying to get a Flash movie I created to stop looping in my browser AFTER loading it into Dreamweaver. Here's what I've tried:
a) Place an AS3 "Stop();" at the end of the action script for the file (in Flash CS4).
b) Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab unchecked.
c) Open the tandem created .html file in my browser (Firefox)......and the movie plays then stops as hoped
d) Open Dreamweaver CS4
e) Import the swf file into a blank HTML page and Save the file.
f) Test the document in my browser. Movie plays, but the movie continues to loop.
as mentioned above, how can I stop the movie from looping after it's embedded in my web page in Dreamweaver? Is this a Dreamweaver 'problem' rather than a Flash one? The DW help file says to use Flash to control the loop....
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 .swf that loads into a movie clip in a Flash website. The .swf has all necessary stops to play once and stop once loaded. When tested outside of the movie clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I make this stop looping? (This only happenes to .swf that were made in CS4, doesn't happen with older .swfs that were made in Macromedia)
how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.
How can find out the linked url of the image in the flash of a website? I looked for the image url some time. but couldn't find itif find the linked url of the image, and i want to alter an image linked url address. where is the code in?
OK, I've spent a few very frustrating hours trying to figure out a solution that's probably staring me in the face. I have one movie (Intro.swf) that loads a second movie (ncjhs_Menus.swf) with drop down menus. Intro has a movie clip with the following script in it:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ncjhs_Menus.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
Both the Intro .swf and the ncjhs_menus.swf files are saved in a subdirectory called Flash off the root. The html file generated by flash is saved in the root. When done that way the Intro file runs but does not manage to get the menus file to load. If however I save the html file into the same Flash diretcory as the two .swf files then everything works fine and Intro can call the menu .swf file.
On the mxmlc command line, I can include paths to RSL files. I can choose to link these RSLs at runtime by setting
-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=false What if I need to link to some rsls and embed (static-link) other rsls? Is there a way to set the link settings for each rsl?
I've got an FLV video linked to an external SWF (a substage) that is itself linked to another SWF (the main stage) The FLV plays fine if I publish and run the substage independently but when the substage is loaded into the main stage at runtime I lose the video, all the other screen elements from the substage work fine. I thought it might be a path issue so I hardcoded a fully qualified URL as the video source with the same results; works independently, fails when loaded into the main stage at run time.
I can see and hear normally on youtube or some direct site. But if I try to veiw a youtube vid linked at some forum I can only hear the video and am unable to see it. I just upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. The same thing happened on my laptop when I upgraded to Windows 7.
I created a MovieClip and linked it to a class, in the movieclip's frame actions I am making calls to methods defined in the linked class. At first I had the class in the root folder along with the fla file. I then moved it into a sub-folder, I updated the linkage property to represent the change but I am now getting an "1108: Call to possaibly undefined method".
i'm having a problem with my button. it works fine when i press it once, but when i press it a second time, my movie thats linked to the button starts over. is there any way to stop this from happening?
I have Flash CS3. I have created a flash file. If I click on the SWF file I have no problems opening it It plays. It looks nice I'm the man.However, now when I try to publish it, the HTML file will not work. It says "windows cannot find this file,you have typed the location correctly".I am double clicking directly on the file and not typing anything, in fact I was considering checking on Ebay to see if I could upgrade my PC to have eyes.The feature has worked previously, which leads me to the conclusion that something else has changed. I have tried using the publish setting, I have also tried using Dreamweaver to embed the file, and have also tried manually inserting the necessary code after seeing some on a website.
As far as I can tell the AS 3 is to the T. But when I test it in dreamweaver some of the pdf's and all of the websites will not open. It says to make sure the path or file name is correct... but the names are perfectly fine.it may be a security sandbox issue, but I don't know how to check that let alone fix it.Here are some of the code samples.
menventures.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menventuresurl) function menventuresurl (event:Event):void {var menventures:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.menventures.com/");navigateToURL(menventures, "_self");trace("The menventures button was clicked");}[code].....
However one problem I have encountered is the only way I can make the buttons appear after the video is finished, is by dragging out the single frame of video on the timeline to whatever length in seconds it is multiplied by the number of frames per second.
Is there some way to maintain each linked clip in a single frame and only move to the next frame (which contains the relative buttons) after the video is finished?
I have a movie clip that exists only in the library linked to a scrollpane component using its linkage identifier (the name of this MC is content_mc). It scrolls perfectly. However, in the movie clip there are additional movie clips I would like to control (green_mc), but for that I need to be able to access them using DOT syntax. How can this be done? I'm assuming that since the movie clip in the library has "export in first frame" checked that I would be able to access it somehow like this[code]...
I am working with a Flash template that includes a window linking to an XML document. We are trying to have three scrollable columns instead of what we have now which is the one block of text provided through the XML document.
Im using Flash 8 to make a meny for my webiste. When you point whit the mouse on the meny it will scroll down, and if you take it outside it will scroll back.

on (rollOver) {_root.html.gotoAndPlay(2);}on (rollOut) { _root.html.gotoAndPlay(7); }
I got a problem, there I have two movie clips each is linked with action script file. The first movie clip "level screen" has a loop (code is not shown there) in it's code which addChild a lot of same icons (but each has different number) and add them to array levelArray. Then when I click a icon, for example one with nmber 31, it addChild the other movie clip "main screen" and send it a variable "levelNumber" with value 31, so mainScreen could then addChild a level 31. Below is the code for levelScreen checking what icon is being clicked and taking right actions. However first I will write how i imagined this to work step-by-step
1. The timer activates the loop over and over again, so when it comes to end, it starts again.
2. The loop loops through array called levelArray, in which all icons are stored.
3. Inside the loop it first defines a variable checkIcon which is the icon at which the loop is.
4. Now there the things get complicated, I want to add a MouseEvent listener to icon, if it would be triggered the function "onLevelButtonClick" should be executed, and the I want to remove the listener again, so I wont have 1000 listeners on same icon after some time.
5. And the function dispatch event which add main screen and send it a variable levelNumber, which should be number of icon clicked.
how to stop a single movie clip in flash and other movie clips still looping. I tried stop(); and myclipname.stop(); both are not working. I attached a simple file,
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:
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?
I would like my video to play through the external flv once, and then loop back to the middle of the external flv.I have made 3 cue points on the stage in actionscript, labeled "beginning","middle", and "end.here is my code which seems like it should work, however, I get an invalid seek 1009 error.
I have created a looping movie clip which I want playing in the background of my main movie which has multiple scenes. Obviously I cant drop it on the timeline in each scene as then when it skips scenes the movie reloads and there is a jerk on the screen. Is there a piece of actionscript that I can point to my SWF and just have it looping throughout the whole movie?
I'm not sure when it started happening, but I believe after the update my movie keeps looping if I test the movie. This never happened before. I'm not sure what went wrong? I never changed my action script or anything. What can be my problem?
This means that if the movie is not loaded , it will loop between 10 and 11.I have a movie clip on frame no. 10 and frame 11 is empty, this means that , the movie clip (a square ) should blink .Also , the movie when its loaded stops at 11 rather than going to stop at frame no 12 as per the actionscript .
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)?
Here is my AS:
import flash.events.ProgressEvent; function update(e:ProgressEvent):void { var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );
