Professional :: Stop The Movie From Looping After It's Embedded In Webpage?
Jan 23, 2010
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 .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)

Im attempting to make a preloader. I am very new to action script so this is what i have.
Code:
ifFrameLoaded ( "UC" ) {
gotoAndPlay ( "home" );
}
as simple as it gets, right? Wrong, the preloader works however is get this error 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.

I'm a virgin to CS4, and a historian wanting to copy some documents that are in SWF files into JPG format.Is there a simple, "dummies method" for me to copy the SWF file, and then what are the basic steps for conversion.The website of interest is the Mexican national archives:[url].....When moving through the site it is possible to select images (Ver imagen/s).This is where I'd really like to be able to copy the image to JPG.

I have a website that has two flash items on it. I have a swf that calls mp3s that plays on the page load, and I have a FLV that plays on page load. What I would like to happen is: on page load the FLV plays when the FLV Finishes the swf starts to play the mp3s. What already happens is that the pages load in _blank pages so they are in new windows. This is good because while you navigate the site, the music from the homepage is still cycling through the swf's mp3 playlist. The problem comes in when you navigate back to the homepage from a new window, and the homepage is still open within the first window. That means that the video plays over, while the music is playing, and the music doubles up. Now the video playing isn't bad, it's that music is doubling up. Can't it sense itself playing a 2nd instance of itself on another webpage and stop it?

This is probably an easy fix, but I obviously can't get it. Below is the actionscript to loop my movie clip, but once it's activated, I can't get it to stop. I thought it would stop at 3. Flash 8 (CS2).
on (rollOver){
for (i=0; i<=3; ++i){
audio_mov.duplicateMovieClip("audio_mov" +ii);
}}

I created a 30 second movie clip. I just want it to stop and display the last frame on the website.
How do I program AS3 to tell it to stop on the last frame and not loop? I don't want it to be blank though, I want the last frame to be visable.

I currently have a 23-frame multilayered single-scene animation designed to loop continuously which I would like to add to my portfolio. As such, I am adding a Play button, which I would like to toggle to a Stop (or Pause) button. I currently have an instance of the Play button ("playButton") created.
(You can find this at pineboxmovingco.com/gear_redux.swf)
Besides imploring your assistance in providing the code, I must also ask if this requires (and best practice for) inserting an additional frame at the beginning for the ActionScript, as well as where/what layer to add an instance of the Stop button. I would like the movie to be stopped by default, presenting the Play button, toggling to the Stop button, and back to the Play button, each upon release.

I have a movie clip, which is loading a portfolio. A movieclip holding the images drops down into the screen and then when the user clicks the return button within this movie clip, it dispatches an "end" event. In the main timeline, I have put in a gotoAndPlay(frameno); in response to the "end" event.
From this "frameno" the movie plays on and is supposed to come to a stop at the end of the timeline. The problem is that it is ignoring the last stop and jumping back to the first frame of the movie. Also, the stop I placed to let the user browse the images, and listen for the end event, is being ignored and the timeline is proceeding as normal and looping continously.[code]...

I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?

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); }

using action script...
stop();btn001_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage1);function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(10);}btn002_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showimage2);function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(20);}
however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.
This code is straight out of Classroom in a Book CS4.

I'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 in the process of making an web page in flash mx 2004. I have a little intro, home page, gallery, contact, etc....now the problem lies within my main buttons which are on everypage which link home and to gallery > so the navigational buttons. Now on the main timeline in flash I have the homepage as the first page then to the gallery. Then the gallery has subgalleries. I gave each button instance names and used that in the action script, I put it on the page frame for each page.
So on the home page I would have put in the action panel :
stop();
gallery_btn.onRelease=function() {
gotoAndPlay(9)
}
Now when I get to the gallery the return home button will go back to the home page frame. The only problem is that when this happens, the audio from the into in the first frame plays. Also in the subgalleries, I changed the frame that the gallery button is supposed to play, so it goes back and plays the gallery, and again plays the audio for the intro. What I think might be happening is that when the button is going back to a previous frame on the timeline, it isplaying the into on the first frame in the background. Another thing I noticed is when all of his started happening, the loading when I was testing the movie, it was loading longer than it should have.
Also, when I go to test my movie i get an output error stating:
**Error** Symbol=body galley, layer=Layer 7, frame=71:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
stop();
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
Now, there is a stop action on that frame, yet the error comes up, ive tried it without the stop();. ive tryied iit in a different layer on the same frame, but i still get the error. and the thing is with this problem, everything in this area works fine in the movie when I test it, so I am not quite sure where it getting that error from.
