*Class Project - Please help:  Why does my movie clip keep playing over and over?

I am desperate for help on this one as its my Final Flash
class project and I just can't get my scenes/movie clips to play in
the order I want them to.
I have Scene 1 (movie clip 1) that plays and then Scene 2
(movie clip 2) plays. The problem is that Scene 2 (or movie clip 2)
repeats itself over and over again. I can't get it to go back to
Scene 1 (movie clip 1) to play that again.
I want it go to to this Scene 1 and actually start at a
certain frame to continue on with the story.
I have named my movie clip instances.
What am I doing wrong? I went into movie clip 2, into
actions, and movie clip control, and I don't really see a way to
tell it to go back and play movie clip 1. Trying to see how to
refer back to the instance name of the movie clip and get it to
play.
Ideas? Please please? I would be forever greatful.

would work better?
As Nickels55 said, above, scenes add unnecessary complexity.
So the answer to this is: YES. Scenes are awkward in Flash. Never
use them in any final project. Put everything on a single timeline
in a single scene, and you will have much better control of the
project.

  • Why does my ipad 2 keep turning on and off?

  • Why does my Mac shutdown while playing itunes and the machine is in idle mode?

    When I am playing music and my iMac goes into sleep mode, the music stops after 5 to 10 minutes and my machine shuts down.  Why?  Is there a way to stop this behavior?

    Hello Jason,,
         Thanks for the response.  Your suggestion is not my problem.        It does not matter how long I set the machine to sleep.  My       machine powers down after some period, but ONLY when I am playing       iTunes.  I am also running Parallels 9.0 which uses Windows 7 at       the same time Mavericks is running.  This allows me to use my       Windows programs.  If I shut down Parallels, it does not solve my       problem.  Also, it is important to note that when playing iTunes,       the machine suspends Windows 7 completely and powers down the Mac       to the sign-on screen.  Sometimes the machine powers down after 10       minutes and sometimes 20 minutes or a little more.  I am really       stumped!!  This situation never happens unless I am playing       iTunes.  Otherwise the sleep routine functions normally.

  • Why does my billing account keep coming up and say my bank details are worng

    Why does my billing account come up and keep saying enter my details. I've entered them loads of times and I still can buy or download of apps

    I had this issue too.  If your apple account doesnt match your bank records exactly it wont work and this isnt always possible.  All i did was open a paypal account with the same card i wanted to use then set up Apple to use the same card through paypal.  Worked perfectly!

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep playing music randomly? And why does it keep stopping when I actually want to use it?

    I keep trying to play music and it just randomly stops, and when I don't want to play music it randomly starts playing! Why is this? Is this because of iOS 7? or is it because of the phone itself?

    Try to do a reset. Hold down on the Hold and Home keys for about 10 seconds until the  shows.
    If that doesn't work, you should try to do a restore. A restore re-installs the operating system. Plug your phone in and go to the phone preferences screen in iTunes. There is a restore option. After restore iTunes gives you an option to restore from backup or use as a new phone. I would first try to see if the problem vanishes if you do the restore from backup option. If the problem still exist, you might want to restore again and opt for the use as a new phone. This is because maybe a file in the backup is corrupt and you cannot use the backup. This means all of your saved texts, photos, settings, etc will be gone. You can resync most of the data back if you have them on your computer (not your text messages though). So think twice before restoring as a new phone. Also, there is a risk that restoring won't resolve your issue so think twice. I can tell you that I have everything on my computer and I can get most of the data back even if I restore as a new phone but everyone is different.

  • Why does my movie download keep freezing?

    I downloaded a movie on itunes and it keeps freezing! Why is this happening?

    The reason it's freezing all the time is you are out of application memory.
    I recommend installing BlackBerry Desktop Software and making a full backup of the device. Then do a Security Wipe. You can do the wipe by going to Options and type security wipe in the search bar. Don't include the media card but include 3rd party apps. You can install those again later via BBWorld.
    When it's done, you can restore only the databases you really need like email, calendar, contacts, etc.
    When you're all done make sure that media is saved to the media card. I recommend getting a much bigger card so you have room for pictures and videos. You don't want that data saved on the device memory.

  • Please help! My old movies won't play anymore.

    Hello,
    I have a bunch of old movies from my old phone downloaded in iphoto. Up until yesterday I was able to play these movies by simply clicking on them, but I just noticed that won't play anymore. I can still see the still frame of them, but they won't play in either iphoto or quicktime. My newer movies play fine. I'm pretty sure I have all new updates for iphoto and quicktime. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same issue.  I just watched these videos only 2 weeks ago...

  • Why does my wifi connection keep dropping in and out?

    I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The wifi is connected to the wireless router and is the only pc of equipment that is. Full bars. Yet the note keeps dropping the wifi saying it has authenticity errors? My previous cell had absolutely no issues. And its a new router.

        I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
    Please share additional details so that we can help!
    Thank you,

  • HT1338 why does my macbook pro keep freezing up and how do I resolve it

    macbook pro keeps freezing up...how do I resolve that issue

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. Do not post thousands of lines from the log. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning on and off

    this started happening about two weeks ago. my phone just turns off to the apple logo and back on where i would have to put my password back in, the phone does this at random times so i dont know when its going to happen. Ive already tried restoring my phone in itunes but that hasnt fixed the problem. I have an appointment today at the Genius Bar so do yo think that they would be able to replace my phone? this issue is getting really annoying. PS. i do have applecare if that matters.

    if you have phone support they can help you. since you are going into the retail store they can help you out to. it sounds like a software issue which shouldn't be too hard for them to fix. if they cant tho they will probably replace it.

  • Why does my Mac Air keeps logging out and restarting

    Can you explain to me why my Mac Air keeps giving me this message? In the middle of a download and I get this when the computer goes into sleep. Once I get this message it will keep trying to log out until finally I log out and then back in again.

    From the menu bar, select

  • Why does my iPod app keep starting over from the beginning??

    I have noticed lately that my iPod app seems to start over and play ALL songs on my phone from the beginning nearly every time I plug my phone into my car stereo.
    I plug my phone into my car stereo and listen every day on my work commute. As such, it's very important that the music stay on the same position between the times when I'm in my car. For the most part it's been fine, even on 4.0.1, unless I rebooted the phone or did a spring board respring, or otherwise killed the iPod app from the multitask app list.
    However this past week, it's been starting over from the beginning (I was playing songs from a playlist and it starts over from the beginning of ALL songs) nearly every single time I connect it to my car stereo. I have not been listening to the music between times in the car, nor have I even opened the iPod app or killed the process from the multitask bar.
    This is absolutely maddening. No changes have been made to the phone in the past couple of months, other than a few App Store app updates here and there. This just started really being a problem in the past week. What could be causing this?

    Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
    1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
    2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?
