Flash :: Frame Animation Still Loops Every 2 Seconds, Using SetTimeout Or SetInterval?
Apr 17, 2011
I'm using this var timer2 = setTimeout(checkValue2, 2000);
as a frame action in Frame 2, which then triggers checkValue2 which is a piece of function in Frame 1 where all the _global. variables are as well.
clearTimeout(timer2);
gotoAndStop(3); //goto lvl3 - throw
addStage3();
it'd then goto Frame 3, but, the problem is even after clearing, the frame animation still loops every 2 seconds, regardless whether i'm using setTimeout or setInterval. Do you might know of any other way where what I need is, after 2 seconds in Frame 2, it'd then move to Frame 3, which I don't want it to go anywhere yet.

I am trying to make an animation of around 12 seconds which loops continuously, stop after 30 seconds and continue on mouse over.
I've been trying to do this using a timer, but get the feeling that this might be a seriously misled approach.

I'm setting up a Timeout/Interval in a function but the called function gets invoked only once (so mc._alpha = 1 in the end)! I've tried setting the timer variable as toplevel but that didn't help either.
Here's the code:
Code:
function colortrans(mc, newcol) {
_root.attachMovie("box", mcdup, 2);
colorchange = new Color(mc);

I have an old Macromedia program - Authorware, that doe not like the SWF file output from the new CS Flash. I am able to go back to the old Flash version to get output that works - only 4-5 versions back - MX2004 or maybe CS.
I need to create an equivalent using timeline controls?
I was thinking of using a onEnterFrame. Have it loop till frame cycles hit the time I need i.e. 24 fps x 2sec = 48 frame cycles. then I would advance the main play head.

I want to create a flash application where users will have access to 10, 5 seconds audio loops. They can choose any 4 tracks to make a 20 second track. I then want that mp3 to be stored somewhere or flash to create to a file which can be sent to friends in facebook where they can listen to that beat. There will be a little button at the bottom saying 'click here' to make your own beat.

What I have is the initial forloop that gets the fabric sections. Then a forloop within this loop to get the subsections.the locations of where the thumbs in the subsection should go are stored in the destThumb variables and then fed through to an easing function.however, each subsection group is also aligned depending on the previous subsection._height.So the thumbs are going to their right relative positions,but the subsections are not.'m assuming this is because the ._heights are being calculated instantly as the thumbs are beginning to ease,therefore making subsection only the height of one row of thumbs. canI use a setInterval somewhere to have the forloop pause before it loops again? Allowing time for the thumbs to ease in place creating the final height? this is just the top snippet of code:
for (var i = 0; i<theFabrics.length; i++) {
var storeHeight = materialSection._height;
var storeYLoc = materialSection._y;[code]............

My objective is to paste together several ( a lot, actually ) armature animations, each in a separate symbol.I have no idea how to do it, armature layers are a bit... strange. So i see only one solution: convert it to a regular layer.

I'm programming some tweens with actionscript and I want the flashplayer to wait 0.5 seconds between each action. I've used set interval before, but that was when I only wanted the playhead to stop, wait so many seconds. In this instance I need it to go like this:

e.t.c and there are 20 mc's that I need to tween. Obviously don't want to have mountains of nested code, If you could set out the syntax in your replies that would be great as otherwise I probably won't understand!

I have a very straight forward piece I'm working on that involves copy fading in and out but, instead of using the time-line for timings I'd like to use some script. It's just copy fades in (hold for three seconds) then fades out (hold for one second) copy fades in (hold for three seconds) etc.

I have 2 movie clips, one names mc_frame01 and another mc_frame02. I've tried to set variables and arguments to make it easier when theres more mc_frameXX's. All I want the animation to do is first MC slides in from the right, pauses, then slides off to the left. Then repeat for each MC. With the code below, both MC's seem to slide in from the right at the same time and that's it.

I have 40 frames on a timeline, each frame has an tweening script below:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TransitionManager.start(week_2,{type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration: 12, easing:Strong.easeOut})
And on the main timeline for the functions and buttons play/pause/next/previous is working good except, I want to delay every frame for like 10 seconds.
Code below:
stop();
// button Play/Pause navigation on timeline
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStopClick, false, 0, true);
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);
function onStopClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {

I am making animation button by movie clip, which has up, over, out and down state animations.
Using addEventlister and adding mouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT and Click.
It works almost OK but when I put and stop mouse at around corner of the hit area of this button, animation starts loops playing between over and out state.
Is any way to avoid it?

I created a simple animation that needs to have a button on one segment of the animation. I created a button with a action of getURL in AS3, the problem I am having is that every time the animation loops from the first frame it triggers the button and the new page I requested pops up.

my file works fine in the first loop but after the first loop the more it loops the more stuff stops working. and eventually after like 3 loops the animation stops the graphic is changing at different times and its all all over the place.i'm not sure why this happens i've had many theories. i'm not removing event listeners, maybe the text should be told to change upon the end of the exiting tween event.but i tried to do all of that and it still didn't work.

I am using this script from Actionscript.org:
[AS]
//In your main "action" timeline, frame 1 put the following code:
////////////////// Pause Function /////////////////////
this.createEmptyMovieClip("timer",50);
[code]....
I have the function written on my main time line but I want to call it from the middle of an animation on a movie clip. I'm not sure how to reference the function on the maintimeline. I've tried referencing the created MC "timer", I've tried referencing _root and other things but nothing seems to work. Basically I have a simple motion tween. I want it to get to a certain point then stop then continue. I have two tweens on one layer in my animated MC. Any suggestions?oh yeah, and I'd like to be able to call the same function from other MCs doing similar things. How can I reference the function?

What I have is actionscript which moves a movieclip from one point of the stage to another, using two buttons to trigger it - fwd_btn and rwd_btn. I also use a setInterval function, so that when you press one of the buttons, it pauses a second before moving. Unfortunately, if you press the fwd and rwd buttons in succession rapidly, the animation gets caught in a never-ending loop.

I've just created my first flash animation. It's about 10 seconds. The only problem is that it loops continuously. In the "using Flash for the first time" lesson by Jen deHaan (great lesson1), she mentions that you can drop this code in "stop();" and she also recommends to add all such code to a single frame to make it easy to find. However, she does not mention how to add code to a frame.
Likewise, the Help file only discusses stopping the loop for specific "graphics instances," not for an entire scene or movie. I'm sure it's simple. I just can't find it.

I am trying to make a basic animation that loops indefinitely. My brother, who is a Flash genius (but uses CS3) has suggested I put a gotoAndPlay(1) action after the last frame. This doesn't work.

I wanted to do a simple blinking-effect for my animations.
Code:
var timeDelay = 2000;
setFrameTimer = function(){
if ( (Math.random(1)*100) > 90 ) {
blink();
}} setInterval (setFrameTimer, timeDelay);
Nice and easy, right, giving the eyes a 10 percent chance of blinking every two seconds. Well, it works nicely in the beginning. But then, after a while, the blinking increases until finally the animations are blinking constantly.

I have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.

I have been having trouble with the timer, knowing how to plug into the scripts/Functions the correct way. Below is the script (probably not written as efficently as it could be, but I'm trying) Anyway, the script is uses simple tweens for a movieclip. I would like to use the timer/setinterval function to pause the animation between tweens (Using the event listener after the tween stops to start the interval/pause) Is this the right concept or am I barking up the wrong tree.
