Flash animation keeps looping

Hi,
I built a Flash animation which keeps looping. I am trying to get it to not loop
at all and it refuses.
Here is the code of the html page, as created by Flash CS5:

The looping value is set to false above, also in Flash my publish settings are set to not loop.

Assuming the animation is timeline based, then you need to place a stop(); command in the last frame of the timeline.

Flash Movie Keeps reloading in DreamWeaver

Hi,
I am not sure if this is a question for the Flash Forum or the Dreamweaver forum.
I have a flash movie which runs in the header of my website when you first visit it. This is good. But if you go to another page on the site and then return to the home page the animation runs again (I guess because it is reloaded as the page reloads itself). I don't like this and don't want it to run each time someone returns to the home page, except of course when they first visit the site.
How do I get it to play only once, when first visiting the site?
Thanks

Hi,
Its only on my computer at present.

Linked movie keeps looping

Hello, Forum;
I have a main movie on my site with buttons that display linked movies in the right half of that main movie. One of the movies is the kind that I only want to play through once, then stop. In the FLA file of that linked movie I've put a stop(); action in the final frame, and when played alone it stops accordingly. But when it plays as a linked movie, it continues to loop. What can I do about this? The button script on the movie doing the importing is:
on (press) {gotoAndStop("flash_dev");
flash_mc.loadMovie("cubeintro.swf");
clearInterval(_root.myInterval); }
Thanks.
Cayce

If your interval is set and linked to the loading of this swf I bet it's not getting cleared and it just reloading the swf over and over.
Throw in some trace statements around that and see what you come up with.

How can HTML call a Flash movie?

Greetings Everyone!
I'm sincerely hoping that someone has the answer for me. I'm
a newbie, but trying so very hard to understand... :) I've read
books, pages & pages of this forum, 'net searches - I haven't
found a complete answer to my challenge so far - thanks in advance
for any help you can give...
Here's where things are:
1) I've created a series of swf Flash movies that loop (at a
particular size so they can play inside of an html table cell)
2) I've created html buttons in another cell
What I'm trying to do:
1) Like a swap file in HTML (where you click a button and an
image changes elsewhere on the page, click another button, and that
image swaps to a different image file)
I want to have a flash movie play on a click of a button, click
another button, and a different flash movie plays in the same
spot.
The challenge is the interaction between Dreamweaver and
Flash and getting HTML to talk to Flash.
Here's the code direction I've been heading ...
...IN MY HTML code...
I have a onMouseClick event for each button link. In this
code I set some variable names inside it.
onMouseClick="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie1')"
---- this would be for button 1.
onMouseClick=
"setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie2')" ---- this
would be for button 2
onMouseClick
="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie3')" ---- this
would be for button 3
Basically, I'm setting a 'myMovie' variable to 'activeMovie1'
or 'activeMovie2' or 'activeMovie3' when one of the buttons is
clicked.
If 'myMovie' variable is equal to 'activeMovie1' by clicking
a link, this will tell a flash movie: (" Hey flash! Variable
'myMovie' is equal to 'activeMovie1'. Act accordingly."). When the
2nd button is clicked, 'myMovie' will be equal to 'activeMovie2'
and so on.
I need to declare the 'myMovie' variable in my flash movie -
how do I do that?
...IN FLASH...
1. I need to create one variable which will act as a variable
receiver from HTML. (What I called "myMovie")
2. I gather I need to create an IF statement so that
"myMovie" is set to which "activeMovie" ( it could be
activeMovie1/activeMovie2/activeMovie3 etc ) ,
----->Question:
Where should the IF statement be and
How should it be written?
Admittedly I don't know Action Script 3 very well.
if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie1"
then load a movie. (This movie will be a movie related to my
1 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie2"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 2 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie3"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 3 Button.)
Here's where I'm stuck....
1) If I've already made my movies into swf files where does
an IF statement go?
2) I'm missing the mechanics of how to connect the dots here
- how do I get button 1 to load movie 1 and start playing
automatically? When I click button 2, movie 1 is replaced by movie
2 and starts playing automatically.
It's a detailed explanation (I know) - I'm hoping someone has
an answer for me that's equally explicit. Thanks so much much for
taking the time to read it!!

Anybody?

Movie keeps stopping after 45 clicks

Hi,
My flash movie keeps stopping after I've clicked 45 times and
I've no idea why. There are lots of buttons on the page and when
you click them they count how many times the buttons has been
clicked and display this in a dynamic text box underneath the
button. Not very exciting I know, but very useful at school. When
I've clicked one button 45 times or a combination of buttons adding
up to 45 the movie goes white (my buttons disappear). I'm quite new
to flash so sorry if this is really basic.
Thanks,
Zoro

Thanks for replying kglad.
I've just realised what the problem is! I've only got 45
frames on my timeline and the code includes nextFrame so when it
gets to the end it doesn't know what to do. Dhurrr! I can sort that
out. Sorry to have troubled you.
Best wishes,
Zoro

Looping flash movie

I have created a flash website... on the first page i want to
enter a simple motion tween movie( i imported it)... i can do that
but it keeps looping... i unchecked Loop in html and added stop();
in the last keyframe but still the movie loops any ideas how to
stop this??? I am using flash 8
ps im inserting a flash movie within a flash movie(this
should not make a diference)
here is what i have found.... i am trying to replace an image
in a flash website with a movie... it continuously loops it appears
you need to add the Stop(); asctionscript wilthin the website and
not the move (.swf) imported.... thats where the problem lies is it
not possible to add Stop(); in the movie itself???? I have tried
this and it does not work???
Puzzled

If the offending loop is from the main timeline of the
imported swf and on the last keyframe of that timeline you entered
a stop(); and that didn't help maybe you should call an exorcist.
Or maybe there is another timeline in the imported swf that's
looping like a MovieClip?

HELP! IE looping flash movies

My company's intranet home page has two flash movies on it
set to play once.
Some kind of Microsoft patch was initiated over the weekend
company wide and
now IE loops the movies. The source code has the loop set to
false but IE is
ignoring it. If you right click on the4 flash the loop is
checked.
Unchecking it fixes the problem but you have to do it every
time the page is
loaded. Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks
mark

I don't know why that is happening, but putting a stop();
action on the last frame should keep the movie from looping. It is
a hard issue to solve without seeing the problem first hand, but
since it is on your intranet that isn't going to happen.

MovieClip Preloader keeps looping movie

MovieClip Preloader keeps looping movie
I made a MovieClip preloader and everything workes fine. The problem is the movie that I am loading keeps looping. Is there any way to stop this from looping? I used Flash CS5, AS2.
Here is the code that I am using:
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");
my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
my_mc.addListener(preload);
preload.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) {
trace("started loading "+targetMC);
container._visible = false;
bar._visible = true;
border._visible = true;
pText._visible = true;
preload.onLoadProgress = function(targetMC, lBytes, tBytes) {
bar._width = (lBytes/tBytes)*100;
pText.text = "% "+Math.round((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
preload.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC) {
container._visible = true;
border._visible = false;
bar._visible = false;
pText._visible = false;
trace(targetMC+" finished");
//default image
my_mc.loadClip("main.swf", "container");

Thank you for responding
The stop action stopped the movieclip preloader from looping the movie, but now it shows a black screen at the end instead of the last frame of the movie.

How do I display a live webpage (live data feed) as part of my looping flash movie.

G'Day All, I've been tasked with creating a flash movie for a client (3 scenes, some text and images) simple enough, the challenge is one of the scenes needs to display a live page from a locally hosted website (it's a graphic display of a live data feed from a solar panel array on the roof). What I need to know is how do I set up the flash file to display the live page as one of the scenes of my looping movie? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Ben.

Flash export of slideshow keeps looping, hyperlinks not working.

I have made an intro page for a website using Keynote 3 <http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/Tricktrial/Welcome.html> I can't figure out why the page keeps looping. It should go through it's transitions and then stop. Right? Also, the ENTER hyperlink is supposed to go to <http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/Trickracing1/Menu.html> but it instead goes to www.apple.com/startpage What's the deal? I have loop slideshow "unchecked" in the playback options. I used iWeb Enhancer 1.0.1 to embed the flash animation html, and it worked awesome. It just keeps looping and the hyperlink is wrong. Is what I'm wanting to do even possible? HELP!!

Looks like everything's working to me. I was having this same problem, but never got around to uploading the flash to the site because it keeps looping for me, too. But your's seems to be fine--did you do anything to correct this, or did it seem to fix itself?!

Captivate movie clips looping in Flash

I've read the discussions on the forum, but nothing seems to
be able to stop a captivate 2 movie clip from looping when brought
into Flash. I exported the captivate movie with the default values,
converted it to a movie clip in Flash8 so I could resize it,
brought the movie clip into the Flash movie by dragging it to the
stage. Everything looks great, but I can't stop the clip from
looping. Stop commands placed within the movie clip seem to have no
effect nor do commands put on the main timeline.
Thanks for the help.

Help with making a flash movie...go to frame and looping

How do I make it so that in my flash movie when it gets to a
certain frame in the movie it skis to another frame? Where and what
is the action script? like when it gets to frame 150 i want it to
go back to frame 1 so it can be animation for like a animated menu.
anyone know?

If your movie contains exactly 150 frames, then you don't
need to write anything. It will loop automatically. If it contains
more than 150 frames, put the command 'gotoAndPlay(1)' in the 150th
frame.

Making .mov to loop inside flash

I have a seamless quicktime .mov of clouds I want to use as a background.
I set my flash animation to loop...but at the end of the .mov file instead of looping it just quits.
How do I get the quicktime .mov file to loop within flash?
Using Flash CS4

Re: Loop inside a loop making performance poor!!!Yup, it probably will be.
Your nested loops have an advantage in that they give you control over the process of what is happening. Unfortunately due to several factors including context switching between pl/sql and the sql engine this process is all but certain to be slower than doing the work in SQL.
Instead of nested loops which call a procedure define a cursor directly your routine to get the data, then use a bulk collect - you can read about them in the documentation - to load your collection. One select with a bulk collect is all but certain to be faster than loading each row one item at a time.

Flash movie slowing with each loop?

My main flash movie is made up with scenes, on each scene I have used the UILoader component to load external swf content to the main movie, the first one works fine but gradually with each loop the movie slows down, i have a globe in one scene which is looking really juddery... Can anyone help?
Thanks
Darren

First off, you should not use scenes - they have never really worked all that well, and just lead to problems. Aside from that, if you're adding listeners to your loaders you need to remove them - or use weak references, which you should always be doing anyway. Have you looked at task manager to see if successive loops are using more and more ram and/or more and more cpu cycles?
