Actionscript :: Embed A MovieClip From A SWF Into A Flex App Without Looping It?
Apr 4, 2012
My Flex app embeds (i.e., compiles in) another SWF's MovieClip, like so:
[Embed(source='assets/clips.swf', symbol='MyClip')]
private var MyClip:Class;
... and then uses an mx:Image tag to display it:
<mx:Image source="{MyClip}" width="300" height="100" />
... but the resulting clip loops forever. I want it to play only once and then stop.
The source clip has a stop() action defined in its final frame, but I suspect that script is being stripped out at compile time, so I'm wondering how I can tell the Image tag, or MyClip class somehow, that the clip should not loop continuously.

We have a flex application which compiles fine on windows box using mxmlc ant task but when we try to run the same build scripts on linux, it throws the 'Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet' error indicating it is not able to resolve the path to the image files.
Can someone pls. educate me on if there is a difference in the way the image files are looked up, in a CSS file, on windows vs linux.
Flex sdk version is 3.3. The same sdk is used on both windows and linux. Not sure if this has been fixed by any future 3.x sdks.

trying to make this file work, in Flash CS4, using AS2. First some info on my file. I have 2 movieclips, mc1 and mc2. mc1 is in the first frame in scene1, it plays out for 138 frames, after which the scene darkens for 15 frames and then mc2 starts playing.
The problem is that I cannot get the timeline to stop looping after it moves onto to mc2. I have tried everything, I have a stop function in the last frame, stop functions within mc2. I even tried a gotoandStop(mc2_Frameno). Nothing works. It still keeps looping. When I extended the mc1 layer to the complete extent of mc2 layer, then it did not loop. But I don't want that as it is causing undesirable effects on the screen.
All I want is to play mc1 and mc2 one after the other, with no breaks. After entering mc2, the timeline needs to stop once buttons are loaded in mc2. But after loading the buttons, it moves out of mc2 and starts playing the timeline again.

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've drawn a few shapes, converted each of them to a MovieClip, and then put them all in one parent MovieClip. How can I loop through them all so I don't need to do this:
Code:
parent.child1.height = parent.child2.height = parent.child3.height = 0

I'm very new to Flash and after searching for a solution to looping a layer I understand this is best done by creating a new Movie Clip and creating the animation to be looped here. I've done this, and then placed the Movie Clip into a layer on the Scene... but it just won't play at all. It acts like I've placed just the symbol that shows in frame 1 of the Movie Clip and it remains static.

I have a movie clip in the library which is an animation of some 72 frames.
When I add it using addChild it loops, I would like it to play once then stop.
A stop() in the last frame of the movieclip does not seem to be executed.

In AS2 - it was possible to declare a for in loop to trace out all of a movieclip's child instances like this:
Code: Select allfor(item in my_mc){
trace(item);
}

When I want to loop through instance names like: "tile1", "tile2" etc. I use a code like this:
PHP Code:
for(var i=0;i<=10;i++){
this["tile"+i]._x=300;}
But when I put these MC's inside an MC (which I've named: "ground") for some reason this code:
PHP Code:
for(var i=0;i<=10;i++){
_root.ground.this["tile"+i]._x=300;}
doesn't work. Is there a way to loop through all the objects inside a movieclip without giving each one an instance name?

I have a looping flash animation of three images that then goes to a screen with a url and an image that will be updated. Adding the image is fine but when it comes to loop back round on itself the image is still there. I have tried putting things like logo.removeMovieClip. Here is the code on the last frame for generating the links:
Code:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(end < 180){
end++;
} if( end == 180){
end = 0;

I am trying to create a website. The main timeline has graphics, movie clip buttons and a movie clip which is the background of the content. Within the background I have another movie clip which has the text and fades in. What I am trying to do here is make the movie clip button trigger the content movie clip that its within the background movie clip. I tried everything but keeps going in loops.

It all works fine, unless I tab through the fields before-hand. Then it seems to find new elements and I am not sure what they areand why they suddenly exist. You will note I have also excluded "_searchKey". Another element that I don't know how it came to exist.Elements are:
focus_mc
_childCounter
depthChild0

I'm having issues with something I used to do all the time in previous version of Flash.On my Main Timeline I have a "looping" MovieClip (myArrows_mc). This MovieClip's timeline just has some simple animation,for instance some arrows that run across screen.There are no stop() actions, so once the playhead reaches the end of the MovieClip's timeline, it just goes back frame 1 and plays again.
Now I want to animate a simple shape Mask over top of the MovieClip. However, everytime the playhead gets to a keyframe in the Mask Layer, the MovieClip getting masked goes back to frame 1 and plays.
In other words, let's say myArrows_mc has 100 frames of arrow animation. On the Mask layer, I have tweened a simple oval shape from 1 side of the stage to the other. The shape tween has keyframes at frame 1, 50, and 64.
When I test the movie, everything looks fine (the arrows are looping) until the playhead reaches frame 50. Then the myArrows_mc, even though it hasn't reached the end of the arrows animation (frame 100), goes back to frame 1 and plays. Then when the main playhead reaches 64, myArrows_mc again resets to frame 1 and plays.
How can I animate a Mask over a MovieClip (not a Graphic) at authortime?Also, I need the Mask to be either a shape/motion tween or a graphic... it can't be it's own MovieClip, because I need to keep it "tied" to the Main Timeline.

I'm trying to use Adobe's OggVorbis library. But I can't seem to get the Sound object to loop. I even tried looping the _sound object inside the AudioDecoder.as in the "com.automatastudios.audio.audiodecoder" package. Do you really have to reload the file and stream it over and over?

On my network I have a couple of pc's all running a bespoke server which will return the username of the person logged in when queried.I have the following piece of code.
private function LoopAndList():void
{
var loopSocket:Socket;
var fourthOctet:Number = 6;
[code]....
Now when this runs it doesn't work as I first thought. The iterations go though. the fourthOctet value is decremented. But somethinjg strange happens. You will notice in the above code that I have a hardcoded IP address in the loop. I have put this there to ensure that there is always a valid connection. So am aware it will always be connecting to 192.168.0.4.
But the connection only happens on the last connect call.
The ouput is:
192.168.0.6
Connecting to 192.168.0.6
192.168.0.5
Connecting to 192.168.0.5

I have a dynamic class that I have created
public dynamic class SiteZoneFileUploadVO
{
public var destination:String = "sitezone";[code]...........
when I try to iterate over this object's property names it only iterates the dynamically added properties.
parameters.dynVar= "value";
for(var name:String in parameters)
{
Even though the object has all the properties equal to a value (ive checked this in the debugger) the only property name that will be traced is dynVar.How can I iterate over all the property names and not just the dynamically added ones?

My teacher told me this isn't possible but in case of 10+ images, I can't imagine doing it for every image separately. There has to be a better way to do this, no?

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

Making a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by
foreach(notes as note){
[Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class;
public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3);
}
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?
