i have created a movie that has got 15 scenes,it stops working on the 15th scene.is there any reason why this is happening?
i know this might be the lamest question some one has ever asked about flash on this site?
I do not know how to insert an animation stops to give the presenter time and forward or backward in a linear and PowerPoint by pressing any key. Similar to typical PPT slideshows and will insert a small clip light and animation films. "My idea is that every time they click on any key (no button) on the film, forward motion up to a certain frame and so on until the end of the presentation "

created a movieclip that uses head and body and called that player.
And I create a simple moving animation : works great !
then I associated a class to head: Head.as
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Head extends MovieClip {

When I uncomment trace this.alpha = 1 the ANIMATION IS STOPPED.
I'm a total begginer in flash and action script, I do have some knowledge in other programming languages.By trying to help a friend I added a contact form in his company website, that was made by someone else.his site is full flash with a index frame that loads several pages.After I built the new contact.swf and tested locally and also hosted by accessing it straight from the browser and embeded I tried to replace it with the old contact.swf that had no contact form.During the tests, everything was fine but when included in the site the form is not functioning.The form has a few rules that prevent empty fields with a green text warning. when I access it embeded separatelly in a web page it works, when I access it loaded by index.swf it does nothinh even if I press the submit button.So I assume the problem is in the index.swf action script.the button that loads the contact page has this code:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

i am trying to create a flash movie for my browser page. i am able to import and export the movie just fine, the problem comes after i export the movie. As long as i leave the flash file in the folder it was created in things work great. If i try to move the folder or rename the folder it stops working. It acts like it cant find the flv file i created the flash with. if i rename or move the folder back where it was created things work fine.
View 2 RepliesI am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

I load a movie into a movie clip object and display it. Now how can I tell when the movie executing in the movie clip object has ended? Is there some event handler or listener that I can use?[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a movie with two scenes. Actually it's a site, so the first scene is a preloader, the second is the site itself. On the second scene the movie stops playing, but there isn't a stop(); anywhere.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to create a button that plays a movie clip and stops when it's moused over. I've attached a file (help.fla) that illustrates my problem.
View 8 RepliesI am making a banner that has multiple movie clips sharing the same area, creating different rainbow effects when different areas (invisible buttons) are moused over.
First of all I couldn't figure out if there was a way to have one invisible button over the whole area that changed to a different colored effect with each mouse over (first mouse over the black and whites would change to reds, second would change it to blues, third would change it to browns, etc.). Since I couldn't figure this out I settled on creating three buttons covering a third of the banner each, so when the mouse passes over one button it changes to reds, over another button it changes to blues, over the third it changes to browns.
The effects are movie clips where each frame has another stripe changing color so it goes in a wave effect from one to the next, and then goes back to white and black in the same manner. The first frame of each movie clip I had to turn into a nested movie clip so I could turn the alpha to 0, since I was going to have these color effect movie clips on top of one another in the main timeline on different layers, and so you could see the effect even if that color layer wasn't on top. I used the same nested movie clip with zero alpha for the first frame of each color effect clip (reds movie clip, blues movie clip, etc), so I dont' know if that's an issue.
Anyway, it seemed to work fine for a while, but after working on it for a while longer (and not getting any further since I removed most of the changes I made), now when I test the movie the mouse over does not seem to work correctly. It works fine, seemingly, for the first time I mouse over each button, but in order to have it work again I have to mouse over the button twice, and then it will pause randomly during a part of the clip and I have to move my mouse back over for the movie clip to continue.
I can't tell if this is because of the overlapping movie clips, or because my buttons are messed up, or if my actionscript is messed up, or if the timeline has to be longer, or what. Currently the timeline is 55 frames, the same as each movie clip.
I put a movieclip_instance.stop(); command in the first frame of the main timeline, is there a better way to do this? Should I put the stop command in the movie clip itself?
Here is a section of my AS in the main timeline, this is my first time programming ever, in any language, and trying to learn from the internet is more difficult than I thought it would be.
redmovie.stop();
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playRed);
function playRed(event:MouseEvent):void
{
redmovie.play();
}
I have two flash movies, on different tabs of a user's browser.They use LocalConnection to talk to each other, but the one on the tab which isn't active doesn't do anything until you switch back to that tab, can you change this? Maybe in the embed tag?
View 1 Replieshow to detect if an animation in a movie clip stops?I make myself clear:I have a movie clip with different animations which I call from the stage with mc.gotoAndPlay("frame label"). Being these animation one after another in the timeline I call a stop() function to avoid the animation after to begin without being called.
Now, on the stage I want to play one of these animations and when this stops I want to make something happen.Is there an event that tells me "this movie clip is not 'animating' anymore"?
Im loading a .swf application (using IE or Firefox) from an Apache server. The application then communicates with a local java server via XMLsocket.
the aplication runs perfectly on local (even with apache)
but
from a remote server (applying policyfile) sometimes stops/pauses when receiving xmlsocket dataevent which is usually a small xml message. It screws up a bit the whole movie.
how to code this on a button
onrelease
gotoandplay(10); // i need delay here before activating the next code below//
gotoandplay(80);
the trick is.. i want the button to play frame 10 to 40 then after playing from frame 10-40 the movie stops and then play frame 80 to 100
I have a MC called Robot. It is animated with keyframes so that my robot appears to walk. There is an Action on frame 8 that says, "gotoAndPlay(1)".When the user pushes the arrow keys, I want to MC to move in the direction of the press arrow. I also want the MC to start playing at keyframe 9 so it plays the walking animation.
This all works but with one small problem. If the arrow key is held down, the "gotoAndPlay(9)" stops the animation from playing, instead showing only the graphic that is on the 9nth keyframe.
Code:
// initialize arrow variables
var leftArrow:Boolean = false;
var rightArrow:Boolean = false;[code]....
Is there a way to call a function once and play the MC frames until the arrow key is not pressed? I think the problem I am having is that if the key is held down, the EventListener keeps running and starting the MC in the same frame instead of allowing the MC to play as I want it to.
Here is the code I have and the flash file runs for about 10to 15 mins then stops updating from the dynamically created xmlfile and just hangs displaying undefined. Is there something wrongwith my code? The only way to clear it out is close the app andrestart it but that leads me to believe its a caching problem. Butbelow i did use some ideas about dynacially loading and unloadingthe content to stop the caching problem. I am not great at actionscript and only understand a little.

View 2 RepliesI have a problem with an embedded flash video not playing to the end, it stops around half way It is a 4 minute video with sound, the FLV file is around 24Mo This is a normal server not a flash streaming server .
I have at least 10 other sites on line with a flash video on the home page and they all work fine.on the same server.only difference is that this file is about 10 Mo bigger on average.
I contacted the company where my server is hosted and they say that it looks like a java script problem but I am using flash 8 pro standard <object> no java script to detect version etc.[code]...
I've built a flash website for my client. I created the website, and it worked just fine. The client then came back with a few minor changes and additions. The only major addition was an intro animation, which I created in 3D / After effects.
Now, the website works when it's on my hard drive, but the minute I upload it, it suddenly stops at 3%. The loader dissapears, and nothing happens after that. I have tried deleting the additions, including the animation, and the updated menu. Same problem, only the point at where it stops loading becomes 5% instead of 3%. I have tried removing the preloader, and creating a shell.swf, which loads the file in using an external preloader. Same problem occurs. If I link directly to the file ie [url]... then nothing happens either (that link is for example purposes only). I have tried copying frames and pasting into a new flash file (main2.swf) and same problem occurs. Lastly, I tried removing the preloader, instead creating a simple test animation that loops until the file is loaded. Also just sits there and stops loading.
How do I make my counter stop at zero?

I have noticed a very frustrating error in flash lately. I will be watching a video in full screen mode...on any site...then all of the sudden, the video freezes and the sound continues. This does not fix automatically. I have to minimize the video from full screen to default size and then the video unfreezes and I can then go back to full screen mode.However, eventually I have to repeat this because the video freezes again.
This happens in Firefox 3.5.6 and Chrome 4.0.249.43. I am near certain I can get this to happen in any browser but I don't use other browsers to play videos so I have not tested my theory. All I know is that the problem is very consistent.
I am using Flash Player 10 ActiveX version 10.0.32.18 in XP Pro SP3.
I've tried it on several different copies on Flash(on college computers and at home) with different files and no matter what, once I save the file, any action script I had will stop working and will never work again no matter what.
When I create a new document and put in some Actionscript (3), it will work at first. For example if I have one line telling an object to have a lower alpha. Then, consistantly, when I go to "save" it'll stop working.
I have this piece of script:
function dataImporting(target, type, path)
{
if(type == "IMAGE")
{
[Code].....
This function is suppose to deal with loading requests from different kind of movieclips throughout the movie. There is something wrong with 'load(path as URLRequest)'. It compiles fine, but upon running flash simply crashes over and over (flash stopped working). It seems as if there is something wrong with it but flash not being able to catch the error.
The path is given as an argument to the function in the form of a string, but should be converted to a URLRequest before being able to be loaded.
I have recently uploaded a website (using a temporary page for the first couple of days) but on the Gallery page of my site, the Flash file loads up to 95% and then stops. Link to the page is below:

View 2 RepliesI have created a movie clip loader in my main movie and once I click on the button in main movie it loads external swf files accordingly.I have also added script so that the external swf will be scaled from "0" to "1" on both the X and Y axis. it works sometimes.But sometimes it scales movie not upto 100% it scales it around 20 to 30 %.I am not getting why? My code is correct or what?

I have a flash animation where a image is panned back and forth by moving the mouse in the direction you want to pan the image. I want to make it so that when the mouse is outside the swf, in the normal HTML area of the page, the movement of the image will stop, or better yet go to a much slower pan.
You can view the swf here: [URL]
I have uploaded an .swf file to my site but when I embed it into my site page it won't play all the way through, it just freezes about half way. But the same .swf file will play fine in Flash.. I am using a content management system called Teamsite.
This file is not especially large only 377KB, I have tried removing images to reduce the size down to 96KB and it will still freeze. The file is just rotating images and uses no fancy effects just a simple fade.
