i currently have my animation looping but i want to set it up so that one of the layers/animations on my timeline do NOT loop (just fly in once)... i tried adding a stop(); but it seems to stop everything that is moving instead of just the target timeline.
View 1 RepliesI just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.
my reverse button causes the timeline to ignore the stop() function on its keyframe and play backwards all the way to the start. Since it keeps trying to play the previous frame, it's frozen at frame 1.
Code:
stop()
// Reverse button //
var reverse:Boolean;
rev_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down );

I have 3 layers in the timeline, and I want to make a new layer, and then use the new layer to be my first frame (like a startpage).
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.
how to stop the script when it's running.To make the sky no more snowy and make snow disappear.
View 1 RepliesI saw the snow tutorial on this website and i plan on using it for 20 seconds (500 frames) in my introduction. It works perfectly fine, but after that time, it doesn't stop. It keeps on going and going and going... how to make it stop or make it go into the background? used the code provided by the tutorial. I know this is sudden by can someone answer today because i have to put it together before thursday.
View 1 Replies[URL]about 30 seconds into this flash, there is an FLV of a computer screen. The problem is, when I pause the swf, the flv keeps going. How do I get around this?1. Is it possible to convert the flv to swf?OR2. Is it possible to control the flv from the main timeline?
View 7 RepliesI've just posted a reply in the ActionScript3 Forum as someone else has had the same problem, but I can't find a solution so posting again here as it's taken me about 5 hours of getting nowhere and I'm sure this is really easy... have one frame on my time line called "theatre" and another called "Video" the buttons between the two work but the video continues to play in the background when I go back to the "theatre" frame on the same time line and I can't find a stop function that will work A button on my main page links to Video on the timeline with following AS3
btnVid.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickbtnVid);
function clickbtnVid(event:Event) :void {
gotoAndStop("Video");

I'm making at quite big company presentation with slides (CS4). On some of the slides I'm using buttons with behaviors on the timeline - they are a all placed in the first frame of the related slide. I have a placed a stop(); in the first frame in every slide so I'm sure the timeline will not start playing. The problem is that it does. I runs one time and then it stops.
How can I make it stop the first time you go to the slide?
Basically im trying to stop sound playing from a timeline. My little swf plays and has music playing from a separate layer. and when i mouse down on it i have action script 3 that jumps to a dif frame and starts playing a new anim and sound layer. but the previous sound layer keeps playing to the end. Is there anyway to stop the sound layer playing at the same time that i jump to a new frame?
View 1 Replieshave been learning Flash pro CS5. I understand how to stop the loop of a total timeline. However, I am having problems with the following. I have created a motion tween of text that fades in and out, and stars around the words that "twinkle". I wish to stop the looping of the txt but have the stars continue to loop (and twinkle)
View 3 RepliesI have an animated movie clip (a man walking). I have created a tween with that clip, but when he stops at frame 30, I want the animated movie clip to stop, so it doesn't look like he's walking on the spot.
View 2 RepliesI have one MC of 80 frames. I have put stop() in the last frame which stops the MC.I'm changing my programming practice by not writing code in timeline. I have created a linkage for that MC. How do I stop that MC in 80th frame form the linkage class. Should I put a conditional statement (this.currentFrame==80) in aEvent.EnterFrame or is there a better way ?

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 17;
this._x -= speed;
}
i have a MC moving across the stage, i tried stopping it with a delete onenterFrame but it will jump and not stop.. my second quesiton is, after i get it to stop, how do i continue the timeline and not repeat frame one,
I cannot get the timeline to stop on the last frame - when but02 is pressed it goes back to the first frame. How do I prevent this? The button should be inactive on the last frame.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI want to stop my timeline for few seconds, how I can ???
I try with setInterval, but i think i do mistake somewhere,
I'm making a mini-game, so ive got various scenes and stuff going on. I found this rain effect [url]... and it works fine and looks pretty good, the problem is I don't know how to get the damn thing to stop! I'm a beginner so know very little actionscript and can't figure this out myself. I do not want the timeline to stop playing only for the rain to stop.
View 5 RepliesOkay, so I've got a happy little movie that shows an atom diagram. Every seven frames shows an electron popping up in the ring around the nucleus. This is all contained in a movie clip. I want a button that when pressed, tells the movie clip with the atom to advance the seven frames ( making an electron pop up ) and then stop. The same button if pressed again, will advance the movie clip an additional seven frames ( thus adding another electron ).
I've looked around quite a bit but haven't found a solution that will work for me. Also, I am working in AS2. (if you're feeling especially helpful, do you also know how to do the same but in reverse? I've found how to play movie clips in reverse, but not for a certain frame interval.)
I have a sound that I have imported into my library and I'm playing it in my timeline by adding it to a keyframe. I want it to go away when I move to scene 2. In action script 2.0, there was a script that I used that was "stopAllSounds()", but that doesn't work in 3.0. Is there a quick fix to stop all sounds or one sound on my timeline?
View 1 Repliesi want to control the timeline of a swf loaded with loadClip command. i wrote this code
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.addListener(this);
function onLoadComplete(_mc:MovieClip) {

function pause on a button is used to stop the playback of the loaded movieclip.
strange thing is that stop() works when testing the movie by flash application and playing it from the projector. It DOES NOT WORK when running it from swf directly or by html with swf embedded. I checked lot of time and the name of the "container" is resolved, but the command is not working for its timeline.
Normally I have a 'MouseEvent.CLICK' on a movieclip handle this but I want use the keyboard instead of the mouse this time. I haven't used the keyboard for button actions since AS2, any tips on how I can do this in AS3?

Is there any way we can stop the sound embeded in timeline directly?
We have an application that load SWF dynamically. These external SWF are not created by our company and other company has embed the sound in timeline. without use of any actionscript or anything.
Now we need to provide the MUTE option for our user, is there any way We can simply disable all kind of sound in any mode from our ActionScript code.
I've been given FLAs that contain audio embedded within the timeline. It's been a long while since I've had to deal with audio in this manner and I'm running into a problem.
The basic setup is this:
- There are 3 movie clips within the FLA
- Each movie clip contains embedded audio within the timeline
- The audio plays as soon as each movie clip begins
Here's my issue:
On the main timeline, there is a 'back' button which allows the user to move to the previous movie clip.
When the user clicks this button, it does move back to the previous movie clip; however, the sound does not stop which results in 2 audio files playing at the same time.
If I were calling the sound utilizing SoundMixer/SoundChannel, I know how to ensure the audio stops, but since the audio is embedded within the timeline, I'm not quite sure the best way to make sure the audio stops when the preceding movie clip is called.
I am building a basic 6 page web site with each page labeled on the main timeline I have put the stop(); command on the very first frame of my timeline with the button commands below it - but when I test the movie - the whole clip just loops repeatedly - ignoring the stop
stop();
//main menu buttons
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);

I have an internal swf file play within a main swf file. At the end of the internal swf file timeline I want the timeline of the main swf to go to a certain frame and stop.
