How to stop animation sequence at a frame number?

Hi all
I've just recently started learning Flash (I have CS4) and I
have a small simple animated sequence at the start which then leads
to the main home page.
now the animation part works fine but when I test it it just
runs right through - it doesn't stop at my main page which then the
viewer will click a button to go to a different part of the site
etc.
I've tried adding a stop actionscript but I'm sure I'm not
doing it right! how do I refer the stop to the animation... do I
have to enter the frame number I want it stopped at etc?
if anyone can make any suggestions or point me in the
direction of a tutorial (or the correct wording for me to do a
search myself) then I would be very grateful!
Thank you for your time :-)

Thanks.. I manage to miss off the semi-colon and put the
double dotted one (I've just gone blank on it's name) *sigh*
I always manage to miss something 'small' off and then takes
forever to spot it!
thanks for your help.

  • How to get the footage's current frame number in expression?

    There are 2 layers.One is text layer,one is sequence layer.
    Footage has begun from the 20th frame.
    Therefore, the number of composition's current frame number and footage's frame number has shifted.
    I want to show footage's frame number in text layer . not composition's frame number.
    How to get the footage's current frame number in expression?

    >Footage has begun from the 20th frame.
    Do you mean that the footage layer has been trimmed (so that the start of the footage lines up with the start of the comp, but the first 19 frames are not visible), or moved to the left (so that frame 20 lines up with the comp's frame 0), or that the sequence actually begins with the 20th frame (at frame 0 of the comp), or something else?
    Are the frame rates of the comp and the footage the same?

  • Automator: how to stop a sequence of actions?

    Hi, i have 4 sequence of actions
    find Finder Items - Move Finder Items
    find Finder Items - Move Finder Items    (in folder 1)
    find Finder Items - Move Finder Items    (in folder 2)

  • How to export image sequence with a specific number

    Hello
    I'm looking how, like in after, I can export an image sequence with a starting specific number. I spend hours to rename images with Renamer, boring, stupid!
    Thank you for helping
    Alex

    Use Bridge.  You can do them all at once with Batch Rename.

  • How to have a sequence start with specific number in mapping

    Hi,
    I can not find a way in the mapping to specify the "start with" attribute for sequence. Currently I have to execute this from sqlplus; select max(id) from tableA, then create sequence start with max(id)+1. I would like to integrate this step into owb. I'm using 9ir2. Thanks.

    You can do this from a stored procedure that you invoke from your pre-mapping trigger:
    - Scan the source and get the max_id
    - execute immediate 'drop sequence; create sequence ... start with '||max_id+1
    Etc.
    Good luck, Erik Ykema

  • How to get FCP to recognize an animation sequence, not individual clips ?

    Hello All;
    Could someone tell me how to get FCP to recognize a .png animation sequence (Exported from After-Effects) ? When I place the directory or files onto the timeline, I get a project 27 minutes long, rather than 10 seconds like it should be. I know this must be easy and I'm just missing something.
    Tim

    You exported a .png image sequence from After Effects?
    Three choices:
    1) In Final Cut Pro, click anywhere in the 27 minute long timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips. Once they are all selected Control Click on any one of the selected clips, and from the drop down menu choose Duration. Set the duration each clip is supposed to be ( 1 frame? 3 frames?) and click OK.
    2) In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences. When The User Preferences open, click on the Editing Tab. Set the Still/Freeze duration to the duration you want for each of the stills in your image sequence and click OK. You will then need to re-import the stills, and they will now each be the new duration. This does not work on the stills you have already imported- you need to import the stills again.
    3) Open Quicktime Pro (Quicktime Player 7) and go to the menu File > Open Image Sequence. . .
    Navigate to the first frame of your image sequence and click Open. You will be asked to pick your frame rate. Set that and click OK.
    When it opens, go to the menu File > Export and the Save Exported File As . . . window will open. Choose the codec you want for your animation (Pro Res, most likely) and, determine a location for the file and click Save. The image sequence will be exported as a Movie in the frame rate and codec you chose. Import that movie into FCP to edit or composite.

    How to add HTTP Header Response X-Frame-Options:SAMEORIGIN from OWA published via Forefront TMG 2010 to stop Clickjacking. I have put the IIS setting X-Frame-Options:SAMEORIGIN  on my Internal CAS Server. However as the OWA page is published through

  • How to stop sound from playing everytime we go to 1st frame ?*

    Hi everyone, my app has 3 frames and a sound playing on background so everytime i go to 1st frame the music play's over himself,
    is easy to get 5 instances of the music playing at same time.
    How to stop this behavior ?
    Music file imported to library.
    Sound Linkage: export for actionScript
    Sound Linkage: export in frame 1
    Any help are welcome
    Flash CS6 - AIR 3.4 Android and iOS > CODE:
    //sound
    var bgSound:BGLoop = new BGLoop();
    var channel:SoundChannel=new SoundChannel();
    playMusic();
    //making mute;
    soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
    function mute(event:MouseEvent) {
        //removing mute function then adding unmute function to same button
        soundBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
        soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , unMute);
        //making symbol to visible;
        soundBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
        //set the volume false;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);
    //making unmute
    function unMute(event:MouseEvent) {
        soundBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , unMute);
        soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
        soundBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
        //set the volume true;
        SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(1);
    function playMusic():void {
        channel = bgSound.play();
        channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
    function loopMusic(e:Event):void {
        if (channel != null) {
            channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
            playMusic();

    Another way to do this is to create a boolean right off the start. Lets say var createMusicTrack:Boolean and set it to true
    Then load your music and start playing it and at the end of that load code add a line that sets the boolean to false so that when you come back to frame 1 the boolean will be false and the code will not load and play, but this could be problematic too. Djnr suggestion is better for your purposes.

  • Raw Image Sequence Workflow For Stop Animation

    Hi There,
    I'm making a music video using a bunch of stop animation stills shot using a DSLR. I'm trying to improve the speed of my current workflow so I can use the color correction features of Raw Processing to adjust and re-adjust shots.
    The current workflow:
    - Use Adobe Bridge to Process the Raw files and save out JPEGs
    - Import JPEGs into Motion as an Image sequence
    - Crop and resize the sequence to suit the shot
    - Import the Motion file directly into FCP
    - Render the the Motion file and edit to music
    The main issues I'm having:
    - When the JPEG image sequence is imported into Motion, it looks very desaturated
    - Tweaking the colour using RAW processing requires going back to Bridge and starting again
    Is there any kind of plug-in for Motion or FCP that will allow me to use Raw files and the color correction tools directly in either program?
    Any suggestions or workflow tweaks would be most welcome.
    Cheers

    Hi There,
    Thanks for all the replies. As you can tell I'm not a video guy so I guess it's time to embrace the video side as you say Adam!
    Every shot was processed into JPEGs weeks ago, so time-wise it's not really an option to re-process everything - the deadline is today! A local editor/DOP I've talked to has said that by the time things go from 3072px wide to 1920px to 768px (local PAL TV) we won't notice any JPEG artifacts.
    He agrees that JPEGs are not ideal but has said it will be OK - especially as it's a grungy stop animation rockin ' roll video created by the band. We want the highest quality possible but there is definitely a cut-off point as we're not professionals and the budget is literally $0.00, hence the limited equipment.
    I've done some tests with TIFF files but motion won't display the size correctly for some reason - same with a PSD sequence. I like the PICT suggestion Mark. but I'd have to re-process the raw files in Photoshop as I can't save them directly from Bridge which is quicker.
    Thanks for your reply Patrick, I got the size wrong. The files are between 3072px wide or 3888px wide depending on the camera used.
    As it stands, all the shots have been processed in Motion and imported into FCP - and I can adjust cropping etc very easily back in Motion (thanks Adam). The only issue is that FCP won't render out a final movie (keeps crashing) so I think I'm going to render movies from Motion and re-import into FCP unless there is a better way to do it?
    Thanks for all your help and suggestions, most appreciated.
    Cheers

  • How to stop everything before gotoAndStop to other frames?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to make a small flash that looks like a website.
    and I'm using 4 buttons with gotoAndStop to navigate to 4 different frames/pages.
    The problem is, when I import a video or videoclip to a frame/page, it won't stop playing when I click the button to go to other frames.
    It's not visible because I'm not in that frame but I can still hear it playing in the background.
    If I go back to that frame, it starts playing video again but the old one is still playing ...
    How do I stop everything in the current frame when I click the navigation buttons?
    I'm new to flash please help

    Thank you for your reply Ned,
    I did make the video stop by this code, it works perfectly when I navigate to other frames
    VideoClip.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, stopPlay);
    function stopPlay(e:Event)
         VideoClip.stop();
    but this code won't work for the nested movie clips.
    In another frame/page of my flash file, I have put a mini game that I imported as a movieclip, It has background music and stuff. It won't stop if I click buttons to go to other frames. When I click back to that frame, it just loads the movieclip mini game again ....
    How do I fix this?

  • How To Pass an Array from One Frame in a Sequence to a ptr in the next Frame

    I have an array (generated from the "Replace Array Subset" VI) that I
    wish to pass to the next sequence in a frame.
    In this second frame, however, the VI that this data will go into
    expects it as a pointer to a buffer.
    Of course in C, the array name is the pointer to the array itself, but
    apparently this is not the case in Labview..
    because if I wire the output array to the edge of the frame (Blue
    solid blox - "Tunneling'?), and then try to connect
    that blue box in the second frame, to the VI expecting a pointer and
    the wire connection gets broken, and the blue
    solid box goes empty.
    How Can I do this??

    You are not being quite clear.  If the next frame expects a pointer to a buffer, it cannot be a vi.  Labview has no pointer types.  You must be referring to a Call Library Node which is set up to call a DLL function.  If this is the case, you need to configure the Call Library Node to accept an array of the data type.  Then you can wire the array into the call library node.
    Is this the case, Call Library Node?

  • How to stop while loop

    I can't figure out how to stop a while loop in my labview program. 
    When the user presses the Run arrow in the toolbar I want my program to begin reading the serial port for GPS messages.  These messages should be displayed on the front panel.  Currently I have this read/display in a while loop.  The program is also waiting for an extrenal trigger.  When that trigger arrives, I want to grab the current string from the serial port and save it and continue reading and displaying the serial/gps string.  This trigger starts the other parts of the program- signal generation, recording, and saving data which need to run concurrently with the serial/gps reading/displaying.  Once the AO and AI have finished and the data have been written to disk, I want the program to stop.  The serial/gps messages should be updating this whole time.  Only when the data are written to disk should the whole program end.  This whole sequence of events should only be done once when the user preses the Run arrow. 
    So far I'm unable to pluck the serial string when the trigger comes in if I'm watching the serial port all the time.  The program also doesn't stop when it finishes writing to disk because the read serial while loop is still running.  I don't want to use a front panel stop button.  The program should stop itself when the data havebeen written. 
    I'm really stumped on this one but I'm new to LabVIEW so I'm sure there's an easy solution to this. 
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Dennis and altenbach-  Thank you both for your patience. 
    I was trying to do just what Dennis suggested-"As I said, setting a local variable is one way." even before posting to this forum, but I couldn't get my local variables to reflect changes made elsewhere in the program and I wasn't able to wire from them because they were writes.  The critical part I was missing was how to change a local variable from a write to a read.  It was staring me in the face the whole time- just right click.  When I finally found it, my problems were solved. 
    altenbach- thank's for putting the figures together.  I do understand the logic and wiring there, but I was really trying to avoid stop buttons.  The program should be smart enough to figure out when to stop.  And using local variables turns out to be one way of solving this.  I still have some clean up to do, but I've included my current working version just so you can see how I implimented your suggestions.  There's still a lot of clean up to be done, but I'm delighted to be able to watch the serial/gps messages until I'm done reading in data.  At first I had this stop variable set in the final sequence frame.  That didn't work because I wasn't getting to the final frame because the loop wasn't finishing.  Once I placed the stop variable in the same frame as the while loop it began stopping when it should. 
    If you have other comments/critiques about the wiring diagram I'm earger to hear them.  I'm considering the structure finished, however.  It still needs cleaning up and commenting, but I'm satisfied with the functionality. 
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • How to "ease in" to a key frame

    Hi
    is there some way i can ease in to a key frame, so that for instance if the key frame was a motion keyframe rather than the motion start sharply when the keframe was reached the motion  started slowly a defined time before the key frame  and built up to the speed defined by the next key frame along
    sort of like a ramp before the first key frame so then there would also be a ramp down to the motion stopping at the second key frame
    if yes what would the process be called
    thanks

    Select the keyframe and press F9 for Easy Ease or
    Select the keyframe and press Shift+F9 for Easy Ease In or
    Select the keyframe and press Shift + Cmnd/Ctrl + F9 for Easy Ease Out or
    Right click on the selected keyframe and go to Keyframe Assistant, or
    Go to Animation> Keyframe Assistant > and choose an option.
    Notice how the keyboard shortcuts are listed in the right column. Learn them. It will save you a bunch of time.
    For more options select the graph editor, pick your property, the use the controls there to control the speed or the value of the keyframes.
    Hope this helps.
