I 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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:
[Code]...
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.
wondering 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 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.
I don't work in Flash very often, all I need is to add the AS to make my swf pause for a few seconds before looping.
This used to work in AS2:
stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(
function():Void {

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
Code:
for(i:Number=0; i<100; i++){
if(i%2 ==0 ){

I'm trying to run a for loop for my game that runs once, waits a certain amount of time, then runs again. I'm trying it with setInterval but so far no luck. Could someone please give me an example of some code that would cause this to happen.
View 14 RepliesI have a video looping via AS3; only thing is the video slightly pauses at the end before it loops. I have tried the following, but no matter which method, I get that pause:
(METHOD 1)
container.myVideo.autoRewind = true;
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND,
loopVideo);
function loopVideo(event:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.play();
}
(METHOD 2)
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, playAgain);
function playAgain(evt:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.seek(0);
container.myVideo.play();
}
I am a novice flash programmer, and i recently stumbled upon the following problem, I got the following code ;
[Code]...
I've imported a flv video (flvPlayer, instance name) to loop with the following script:
var myLis:Object = new Object;
myLis.complete = function(){
flvPlayer.play();
}
flvPlayer.addEventListener("complete", myLis);
I would like the flv to pause for 3 seconds before looping again...
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]);
}}
(Flash 5/Flash MX). How do I delay/pause using actionscript? I have tried using a for loop for a time delay like this:
for(i=0;i<1000000;i++){
}
But it does not work?
Flash gives an error like:
Time-consuming actionscript.
Abort running script?
OR the loop simply does not produce a noticeable delay.
How I can introduce a time-delay or a pause using actionscript?
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 RepliesI have an XML file that is updated every three minutes. The amount of records in the file can and will change. What I want is to load the XML, fade in 6 records, pause 5 seconds, fade out then in the next 6 records until the end of the file is reached. At that point, reload the XML file and repeat the process till infinity.
I have the XML file loading. I am able to count the records, parse the XML, and manually place XML data into dynamic text fields. I cannot get my FOR loop to function properly or get the script to pause between pages. I have not even attempted the fade in/out yet. I think I should have it parsing data properly before I add the cosmetics.
MY CODE:I do not get any compiler errors, but I do get an ouput error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at xml_data_fla::MainTimeline/processXML()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I think it is throwing this error as soon as it tries to display an empty record, if that makes since. Say there are 17 records. 17 / 6 = 2 with 5 remaining. When it tries to display the 3rd incomplete page the error is thrown (I think). When I test the file, it only displays the last page before an incomplete page. Here is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
// *** XML LOADER *** //
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML;

I've created a logo for a company, and I made an intro animation sequence, but with all the fades and different things going on, the two second animation turns into about five seconds.it's ridiculous. so i guess i'm asking if there's a way to publish to video format that will actually work, or for some recommendations on third party software that could publish to quicktime or avi successfully. all the ones i've tried don't play movieclips

Code:

The movies that I load (movie1...movie8.swf) each one have another movieClipLoader to load other movies into them.I am having a problem that I get after I load a few of the movies, I get the message thet "There is a script that is making the Flash player run slowly..."I am guessing that there is a problem with the loading of movies in memory (I already checked for loops and didn't find any non ending), and I was wondering if there is any way in Flash to completely eliminate the load in memory, to prevent the "There is a script that is making the Flash player run slowly..." from happening.
Working on a game where I load the level details from a XML file. In the XML file I list of the names of characters that I want to show on the screen; i.e. Snoop, Kilerz, Matts, etc.In my FLA file I have MovieClips that are named Snoop, Kilerz, Matts, etc.Currently I do this in my Character function:[code]so I can eliminate the switch statement as I have about 15 characters. When I use the new this[charId] I get the following error (for charId = "Snoop":error: Error #1069: Property Snoop not found on Character and there is no default value.
View 4 RepliesWhen using SWFObject I call the AS3 function playwhenenoughdownloaded() to start the video playing. However, even when the download progress bar is well ahead of the play head, the video and audio sometimes halt briefly before continuing. This happens even when playing the movie a second time after the entire file has been downloaded. It also happens when no other application is running on the local machine. This problem can be viewed on our website [URL] by clicking one of the icons in the left-hand frame. how to prevent this from happening?

View 5 RepliesI can't see a way to get rid of certain borders within a DataGrid. I'd like to eliminate a side border on 2 of my columns so that they appear to look like a single column.I'm trying to implement a "clear value" button on each of my DataGrid rows. I was able to have a button show on a custom ItemRenderer from a separate ActionScript file, but I was unsure how to have the button click event propagate to the mxml file where the DataGrid is located. It would be much easier for me to have an extra unresizable column with a 'clear' button.
So, to reiterate: Is there any way to change the border style or eliminate certain borders of a DataGridColumn?
The problem i've run into is I play the sound (embedded in the timeline so i can sync up animation) in a scene, then move onto another scene using a button. But by the time i get to the 4th or 5th scene all the sounds that I have previously played all play at once. Even if I use the SoundMixer.stopAll(); at every possible chance - it doesn't seem to unload the sounds from memory.
View 6 RepliesI have a flash movie using actionscript 2.0. I want to delete the white border around a ScrollPane component i added to my flash movie. I also want to get rid of the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the component.
For better clarity of what i mean, I also attached a picture sample of the scrollPane component.
Using the following code, I push data from an xml file into a classic dynamic text box that is configured to render text as html. For some reason there is an obscene amount of white space between paragraphs. I am not sure why it is there since I have already set it to ignore white space. How would I get rid of it?
