Click a button, wait mc A to finish playing and play mc B

Hello. I am using Adobe Flash pro CS6 and AS3.
Right now I am trying to make a button to play a new mc. There are 2 movie clips. mc A and mc B.
What I want to do is my swf is playing mc A but if I click a button, it starts to play mc B, but I want to finish playing mc A before starting mc B, I mean it plays mc A (500 frames loop animation) and if I click a button on 250 frames of mc A, it waits mc A to play remaining 250 frames, and if mc A finishes, it starts mc B.
So I can not use gotoAndPlay command. What command should I use to do it?

You could set some boolean variable to be true when you want mcB to play and at the end of mcA have it check the value of that variable and stop mcA/play mcB if the variable is true.

Let's say I'm in my email, and I double click the button to the left of the screen and it then shows the multiple screens I've looked at already. How do I clear those already seen pages?

If I'm in my email acct, I click a hyperlink to another page and then to go back to my email page, I double click the button to the left of the screen and it shows a slide list of pages I have recently been to. How do I get rid of that? Or clear the pages?

You mean the multi task bar at the bottom? In iOS7 there is a big preview box above each app in the bar. Just swipe it up and away.

Produced DVD Exhibits Missing Music or Button Action, Even Though Check Project Tool and Play OK

Well, I have been successfully and faultlessly using Encore CS3 for several months, when all of a sudden my latest production suffers from the errors noted in the title; both Check Project Tool and "Play from Here" have always, in these problem cases, been OK. Just the discs weren't.
By the way, I am running this on a BOXX with dual Xeon 3.0, 4 gig ram, nVidia Quadro FX 1500, application on 10krpm 150 gig hd, and data on a slower 750 gig RAID 0, with everything cleaned and defragged, etc., etc. As yet, my problem is only with Encore, and not with more recently run Premiere (with Aspect HD), After Effects, Photoshop, and Ultra - nary, ever a problem with these! Also, never any problems with any DVDs, all burned 8X on a Sony writer, using DVD-R Verbatim discs. In the subject instances I assembled a disc format in Encore following my own self written 10 page procedure manual, step by step checklist, with ALL steps documented. So, I may be wrong, but I'm always consistant. And Check Project Tool, and preplay in Encore no errors, and worked perfectly, as usual.
But first burned disc played no audio on the main menu, while chapter menu music (from same source file as usual), was fine. And motion pictures in both main and chapter menus worked fine. Soooooo, complete recheck of project showed everything fine, and same Adobe checks worked fine, and another burned disc, same fault.
So, uninstalled Encore CS3, including preferences, etc., and re-installed. And brought in everything again, and reconstructed the structure from scratch again, and everything tested fine. Then I burned a test disc, 1 pass low rate Adobe Media Encoder converting from 1080i .avi to 480i, and the disc played perfectly! BUT THEN........ I reincoded at vbr 2pass, high quality, and burned twenty discs at 480p. And everything plays fine, EXCEPT, on all four of my test DVD players, the "timeline" plays fine, video and audio, the main menu pictures and music and "Play Movie" and "Chapter Selections" buttons all work, but although the Chapter Sub-menu pictures and music are as intended, the "Chapter 1" button is highlighted, as intended, but you can't move from there to the other chapters button or the button to return to the main menu.
And again, these all worked fine when the Check Project Tool was utilized just prior to setting up the DVD files and burning - and no, I touched NOTHING else in the meantime.
So, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
And I would certainly appreciate insights from anyone about what the matter might be (besides Microsoft), so long as the insights are thought provoking, whether they are valid or not.
But seriously, this has me stumped. And I really will NEVER, ever burn and print (full color!) 20 discs again without fully testing the first one burned and then never change anything in Encore.

Harm - thanks for the suggestion!
Given what I now know about transcoding and interlace effects, 480i insead of 480p is totally unacceptable to me, for excellent reasons explained in a moment. If Encore only works correctly with 480i (anyone have any thoughts as to why that might be true?) then its time for me to drop Encore and move on to another DVD assembler. I'd not care to do this, as I finally have all study of Encore and my related procedures manual put together, and I would certainly miss some of the fine and relatively easy features of Encore, to say nothing of the use of PixelPops panels in Encore. One other point. I badly mis-spoke myself in the original post, and I apologize for that. I should have said that Adobe Media Encoder was being used within Encore to encode from 1080p, not 1080i. More about all that in a moment.
So, I now have a further question, if I cannot get a work around for this. Anyone have any thoughts on an alternate DVD assembler with a decent transcoder, for $1,000 or less? No matter what, I intend to continue to use other Adobe products.
Now, as to why 480p! And I may just run an informational post about this sometime. Several weeks ago I had finally decided that what I had been putting together as 480i was just totally unacceptable because of the deinterlacing artifacts shown when run through the standard DVD player and typical LCD screen. The noise, particularly the misquito noise, the twitter, etc. was just too much. So I set aside three days, and all I did was run tests of various sequences of transcoding 1080i to 480 whatever. And of all the permutations and combinations, the clearly superior result was the following. As our friends at Cineform have so rightly commented, going from 1080 to 480 gives us all kinds of headroom to work with. So my current procedure is to first take the Cineform "visually perfect" 1080i .avi files and using the Cineform transcoder, convert them to 1080p.avi. Then, as noted above, I use the Adobe Media Encoder to go from 1080p to 480p. Now that picture, I am really happy with! And by the way, what is produced by using the Adobe Media Encoder to transcode directly from 1080i to 480p is truly grotesque - the horizontal distortion is so horrible it has to be seen to be believed! Other variations produced from good to marginal results. The closest acceptable was using Cineform to go from 1080i to 1080p and then to 480i, and then using AME to go from 480i to 480p DVD.
By the way, the final, best otherwise encoded 480i result showed up only marginally better than what I am doing now, when shown on a 109 inch screen using that great chip in the latest Toshiba HD-DVD player for the deinterlacing function. But when the same disc was played on your typical consumer DVD player and flat panel screen, the result was marginal. I have read many places that we are better off letting the consumer players or screens conduct the deinterlacing of our 480i productions, instead of producing 480p discs ourselves. Given the transcoders I currently have to work with, I would say that is just nonsense. If all the consumers had players with great deinterlacers that would be true. But it isn't true!

As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it. This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I have five buttons with audio attached to each button. When I publish in html5 and test the buttons the audio cuts out at random times. Any suggestions. I have the latest version of Adobe Captivate 7

Can someone please help me with this problem I cannot see how simply attaching audio to a button can be so problematic. I have no idea how to fix this.

I am using CP8 and have found similar issues. When using the responsive project, my slides with multiple buttons have audio attached via advanced actions that will cut out if a user attempts to click another button before the first has finished playing. When the user listens to the entire audio file attached to the button, there are no issues with audio btw. I have tried attaching it to the button, but it plays when the button appears rather than on success. Furthermore, setting it to play audio on success is a problem because there are multiple actions that must be completed for each button. I have also found that setting audio any other way besides through advanced actions can create an audio overlap of more than one audio file. I haven't been able to find a way to time the advanced action or slide so that the user cannot click through the buttons without hearing all of the audio first.
Any ideas on how to get around this problem would be fantastic if it doesn't require an entire rewrite. If I wasn't already 86% through the course development, I would use buttons to initiate branching scenarios which would fix a lot of my issues, but don't want to start over at this point.

Stop button??, Between previews and play/pause button?? all time on play

Pause and Play Toggling Button

I have created a Pause and Play button that toggles between states. It controls a Timeline with synced Sound. When I use it the sound and animation go out of sync. Can anyone help me with this or perhaps have better code I could swap out to make this work?
Below is what I am currently using:
On the first frame of an Action Script layer put this AS:
playBtn.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause(false);
playBtn._visible = false;
pauseBtn._visible = true;
pauseBtn.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause(true);
playBtn._visible = true;
pauseBtn._visible = false;
Lable a Pause button Graphic "pauseBtn"
put this AS on the button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
Lable a Play button Graphic "playBtn"
put this AS on the button:
on (release) {
stop();
Put the Pause and Play buttons directly over each other on 2 layers for the duration of the timeline.
Pause Button on top. (unless you have a STOP on the first line then maybe the Play button will start it (I didn't Try this)

you have, what appears to be, conflicting code. and you appear to be using a netstream instance. so:
1. remove all code attached to objects. copy and paste the only code you have affecting your pause/play button.
2. what is ns?

How can I do to code the equivalent of: Wait ... until(click one button)?

Thanks to answer me and to send me a little code which explains the solution.
A French guy.

If you have to display a panel and wait for the user to click one button to proceed, you could use GetUserEvent ().
I use it when I have to disply a popup panel
different from MessagePopup or PrompPopup or similar and I don't want to deal with a separate callback to manage controls on that panel. Here you find an example: I display a popup for the user to input a password (using the password control in toolbox to display an input string with the usual '*****' pattern while typing).
pwH = LoadPanel (0, UIR, pwd);
InstallPopup (pwH);
PasswordCtrl_ConvertFromString (pwH, pwd_pw);
errChk (PasswordCtrl_SetAttribute (pwH, pwd_pw, ATTR_PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH, 12);
while (TRUE) {
GetUserEvent (1, &pnl, &ctrl); // Program waits until a button pressed
// Here when a button
have been pressed
if (ctrl == pwd_quit) { // 'Abort'
button
// Exit from function, close popup...
PasswordCtrl_GetAttribute (pnl, pwd_pw, ATTR_PASSWORD_VAL, pw); // Read password
if (strcmp (pw, correct_password))
MessagePopup ("PASSWORD",
"Incorrect password. Retry.");
else
break; // Correct password
RemovePopup (0);
I use it where I don't want to exit from the actual function to manage the 'Ok' button from the popup panel elsewhere.
Hope this helps

Quiz slide waits for Audio to finish before proceeding to next question

Hi guys, hope you can help. I have 5 questions with audio inside narrating the question and the answer in selection. Once you you have chosend your answer then click submit button..it waits until the audio finishes then proceeds to the next question.
hope you can help
Thank you

Having this action on Slide Exit of the Quiz Results slide may not work if the user clicks a button there to Review Quiz because that will mean that the last frame of the Quiz Results slide doesn't get played.
There is an internal Captivate system variable that gets set on each question slide when it's in Review Mode, but I don't think you can read this variable via Advanced Actions. If you could read it, you could check it and then trigger the mute action on Slide Enter of each question slide.
UPDATE: Just thought of another possible workaround. There's a system variable called cpInfoPrevSlide that records the last slide you visited before the current one. You could use this in a conditional action to trigger cpCmndMute. When the user clicks Review Quiz on the Quiz Results slide it will take them back to the first scoring object in the Quiz Scope. OnSlideEnter of this slide you need to check whether or not cpInfoPrevSlide is the Quiz Results slide, and if it is, set cpCmndMute to 1. That should turn off the audio on the slides from then on.
For instruction audio on the Quiz Results slide I prefer to have the audio attached to a rollover caption. That way, the user only gets the audio if they explicitly roll over the HELP button (or whatever you call it).

When I did this, the machine went to a gray start up screen with an apple and will not progress. I've waited more than 30 minutes and tried restarting again by holding the power button. Also, restore cd 1 will not eject so the computer will no longer move past the gray screen with spinning circle. Restore CDs had never beeused and were still in packaging in the original box.

I restored my iPad and then i clicked "Restore iTunes backup". It is finished but on the iPad screen it says connect to iTunes. I connected it to iTunes but it says the same thing. What should I do?

You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port. (Make sure you have the latest version of iTune on your computer)
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.
