Pause at start

Hello: I created a simple .fla project to try to pinpoint my problem. I imported a short .f4v video/audio clip. I chose "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf" for a skin. In the Publish settings I selected "Pause at start". When I open this project's (Published) .html file the video starts automatically. I've spent hours trying different settings but I can't get this video to "Pause at start". (in my server are the video.f4v, video.swf, skin.swf and HTML files) - - - (exception) I have an old project almost identical to this project and it does "Pause at start". When I replace the "new project's" .swf with the "old project's" .swf the "new" video does "Pause at start". I opened the "old" .fla project and all the settings are identical to the "new" .fla project. I did not use any Actionscript in the "old" and "new" projects. For this test, both the "old" and "new" projects use the same video/audio clip (so my problem is in the "new" video .swf). Maybe I'm forgetting to enable a property in the "new" project ? Any suggestions ? Thank-you MLR (Flash CS4, Mac)

I got it. go to Main Menu >Window >Components >select the Keyframe (or something else to select the video's FLVPlayback Component) >autoPlay: False. I forgot the FLVPlayback Component has it's own Auto-play control. Thanks. MLR

Flash movies "paused at start"

I'm a total newbie to flash, so go easy...:)
I've a flash movie created from a wmv I have, which I want to
play on a website. I've worked out by dragging the flv into Flash
it gives me the options to create the skins for the player etc,
which is all fine. I can even publish it and get it to work -
http://swanningabout.co.uk/flashMovie/movie.html
However, in my "publish settings" options I've ticked "paused
at start". However, as you can see in the above link the movie
plays right away. Looking at the source, the "play" parameter is
flash so I can't see what the problem would be?
Am I missing something?
Many thanks in advance,
Ed Ludlow

Hi Ed
That function is not used for other things then the basic
timeline control.
Therefore what you need is following:
Select your FLVPlayback component and move over to the
properties panel, and set the AutoStart parameter to false.
That's it.
Cheers

Flash Video Not Paused At Start

Hi there
I'm trying to publish a flash video to the web but even
though I've ticked the "paused at start" option in the publish
settings, it still plays when the page is loaded.
I've also tried adding various things such as
autoplay='false', autostart='false' etc. but no joy.
Can anybody point me in the right direction please??
Thanks!

Shan I have the same problem but the code is generated by
Flash CS 3 in the html file it produces. Here is part of it. You
will see
" 'play', 'false', "
I am not sure how to add your code and surely the Flash code
should work?

Music doesn't start when selected from playlist have to push pause then start. Always playing one track behind what is on screen

Music doesn't start when selected from playlist have to push pause then start. Always playing one track behind what is on screen as my I-pad worksorks fine

Same problem here, since upgrading to IOS-5. Whenever I try to shuffle or play a genius mix (or even simply play an album) the iPod will skip the first one or two songs, play one song and then 'crash'. I say 'crash' because it selects the next song and then nothing happens - the player isn't paused, and it appears to think it's playing, but the time bar doesn't change and no sounds come out. Occasionally I've noticed the album artwork is wrong too.
Rebooting does NOT work - I've tried it a number of times.
Is this just an iPod problem?? If so, I would be surprised if Apple do anything quickly about it - they're more worried about iPhone problems I expect, and we (iPod users) are just the poor relations... C'mon Apple - SORT IT OUT!!!!

How can I get my audio on page 2 to pause and start on other pages?

Hi!
I have put an audio file in my InDesign ebook on page 2 and would like to get it to pause and then start again from where it stopped on different pages without it starting all over.
My book is an interactive pdf right now (until I can figure out how to successfully get it in the ePub format. Yes, I'm new at this! )
PLEASE can someone help me with this?
Thanks!!
TJ

Hey Jstugelmeyer,
First, I would go through these three steps:
Restart your device.
Update to the latest iOS Software.
If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
Then, if you still can't send or receive MMS messages:
To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.

How to pause and start a self playing slideshow

Hello
is there a way to pause and then restart a self plaing slide show in keynote 10. when I hit the space bar it moves to the next slide instead of pausing as I need to create a slide show which basically plays in the background but which needs to be stopped occasinally and then manualy advance to the picture before and then start up again
regards

You're right, thanks for correcting me.
Fixing my implementation:
public class CountingThread extends Thread {
    private JLabel label;
    private int i = 0;
    private volatile boolean stopped = false;
    private volatile boolean resume;
    public CountingThread(JLabel label) {
        this.label = label;
    public void run() {
        while(!stopped) {
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    updateLabel();
            try {
                sleep(1000L);
            } catch (InterruptedException expected) {
                if( !stopped ) {
                    synchronized(this) {
                        try {
                            while( !resume )
                                this.wait();
                        } catch( InterruptedException stopping ) {}
    //special methods
    private void updateLabel() {
        label.setText("Number count : " + i++ + " ");
    public void startThread() {
      this.start();
    public void stopThread() {
        stopped = true;
        this.interrupt();
    public void pauseThread() {
        resume = false;
        this.interrupt();
    public void resumeThread() {
        resume = true;
        synchronized(this) {
            this.notify();
}You should disable buttons accordantly to prevent the user from doing wrong actions.
Thanks again BigDaddyLoveHandles, if this was my thread I'd give you the duke stars.

When downloading something from the internet, the downloading stops after a few seconds after. Then it continues a little bit agen when you pause and start it agen.

for example when im now downloading a directX update, so the download starts normaly, but after 15-30 seconds it isn't just making any progres, not eawen if you wait for a while. then I pause the downloading and continue straight after. It si downloading 15-30 seconds agen, and then it stops.

Pause the start of each slide, click Play to continue

Hi,
I have a lot of Captivate questions but I'll stick to one for
now...
Is it possible to have it so, for each slide, when the user
clicks "Next" the next slide appears but it pauses at the start,
and the user would have to click Play to start the slide? We want
the users to have more control over the movies.
Can it be done in Captivate or to an imported Captivate SWF
using the variables? I tried the combining rdcmndNextSlide = 1 and
rdcmndPause = 1 but it only does one variable command (weird), in
this case the rdcmndNextSlide.

Welcome to our community, Joel
The simplest way to accomplish this goal is to insert a Click
Box object on each slide. Perhaps consider timing each one to pause
at .2 seconds into the slide.
It's simple to do. Just insert one on the first slide.
Configure it as desired. Copy to the clipboard. Select all the
remaining slides and paste in a single action to populate each of
the remaining slides with the Click Box.
Cheers... Rick

Sound pauses before starting with firewire soundcard

I have a Focusrite Saffire LE sound module connected using firewire to my iMac. If I don't play any sound (via iTunes or from youtube say) for a few seconds and then try there is a delay of three or four seconds before the sound starts and the app stalls (beachball).
Everything is up to date and nothing appears in the logs at all. I've tried searching and google and I seem to be unique in this problem.

It only takes a gap of about three seconds for the sound system to then stop responding for a few seconds when I next try to use it. The hard drives aren't set to spin down and there is no energy saving going on (that would kick in within three seconds).
I'm guessing this is possibly a Saffire LE problem rather than a mac sound system problem although why it should take a few seconds for an app to get a handle to the sound system I don't know.

My iMac won't boot, get a black screen with alarm sound, then gray screen with start up sound, then repeats

this problem started last fall after upgrading to Mavericks. If I shut down my computer (or restart) I have problems getting it going again. This is getting progressively worse. I hadn't shut down in over a month, forgot about this issue and shut down (which I used to do daily), so now I can't get my computer to boot. When I hit the power button I hear it starting, then a loud alarm sounds, then a long pause then start up sound with a gray screen with a progress bar. Once the progress bar fills, the screen goes black again for a bit. This whole process will repeat until I get frustrated and force - shut down by holding the power button. I have tried reseting the pram, starting up in safe mode, starting up with the command - R, starting up with my original install disc... none of it works. I'm at a loss! I do have an external hard drive that I have been using for Time Machine, but it's not recent because the disc needs repairs and I hadn't gotten around to buying a new HD to back up to first. Has anyone else had this problem? I really can't afford a big repair/replacement bill.

A long, steady, load tone followed by a progress bar can indicate it is trying to install a Firmware Update. Any other Tones would be multiple beeps and show an error code.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5860
You can also see a progress bar similar to booting into Safe Mode. However, the firmware update bar is thinner vertically than the Safe Mode bar.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
Either way, I would say something is wrong and it would be better evaluated at an Apple Store as Kappy points out.

IMac won't start up, error tones

I am trying to upgrade ram for my iMac 24 inch (early 2009) from 4GB to 8GB with two 4GB 1333 DDR3 because my computer uses those. I've done all the research and reseted PRAM, checked my firmwares and everything is just fine but when I change the memories at the moment I start up the iMac it these tone pattern:
3 short beeps, 3 long beeps, 3 short beeps, pause and starts again.
I've read a lot and can't find information about this pattern, I've tried everything and it won't work, need help!

Not true, an Early 2009 iMac uses 1066 MHz modules with the following spec's.
PC3-8500
Unbuffered
Nonparity
204-pin
1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM

Mouse pauses every 2.5 seconds

Got a brand new 27 inch 3.06 Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac (2009). The magic mouse AND any USB mouse that I plug into it pauses at the same interval about every 2.5 seconds. It's just enough to screw up everything you are trying to do.
Tinkering with it, I have managed to figure out that it only does it when I use an external monitor plugged into the iMac...
I have an external 24 inch monitor plugged into the iMac to extend my desktop. The external monitor has 2 inputs (DVI and VGA). When I have both the iMac and the 24 inch monitor set to Mac (DVI), the mouse works just fine. But when the external monitor is set on the Windows machine (VGA), the mac mouse (Magic mouse or USB mouse) pauses every 2.5 seconds. I don't know why monitor input settings would cause the mouse to pause and I haven't seen any threads with the same problem. Any ideas?

The 27-inch iMac is the first (and only) Mac to make double-use of its video port.
I think you have already shown it is somehow related to the Mini DisplayPort, and you can easily reproduce the problem on-demand. Since Mac OS X still sees the second display, even when it is switched over to the VGA input, it may not be related to the new video input capability.
As a test, what happens if you put it into the state where the pausing is going on, then disconnect the adapter on the back of the iMac. I would assume iMac would pause for a second and reset to having only its built-in display, and the ongoing pausing issue would stop. Then, reconnect the adapter (display still set to VGA with active input). The iMac should reset to having the external display. Does the pausing issue start happening again?
Here's another test. With the display set to DVI, insert the Mac OS X installation disc and restart with the C key held down. This will force start up from the optical drive. When you get to Installer, you should see the default Desktop background on the external display, and that will indicate it is being recognized and used. You should be able to move your mouse cursor onto it, although the arrangement may be different. Now, do the thing that usually causes the pausing. When you are started up from a different system, does the pausing still occur?

(MX04) Pausing a loaded swf with sound objects within it

Hi,
I'm working on a PowerPoint-esque presentation where a user
watches and listens to a loaded swf in the main movie, clicks the
next button (which unloads the swf, advances to the next frame and
loads the next swf), and watches the next one. Lather, rinse,
repeat. Some of the sections are rather long, and I'd like to give
the user the ability to pause and play by button click.
I know how to stop and start the container MC, but that
doesn't stop the sound object (and the embedded MCs). I also know
how to pause and start a sound object using the object's instance
name. Is there a way to pause everything from the main timeline,
and keep the AS general enough so that any sound object pauses when
clicked?
Any help is most appreciated! MX04 and AS2.0.
Thanks!

Kglad,
I tried your code and ran into some problems with stopping
the mc's, as the embedded mc's within the loaded swf need to stop
as well. I found the attached code to stop the mc's, but now am
having trouble with the sound objects.
Here's the issue, I used this:
this.soundPosition = currentMovie.loop1.position/1000;
this.currentMovie.loop1.stop();
... for the sound object stop commands and listed a new one
for each loop I was using. On the play button I started them back
up again. This all works, but when I start them up again they all
play, not just the one that is currently paused. Do you mind giving
me some guidance with the for (obj in mc) loop? My loop experience
is nil. What I want to do is have the code cycle through all of the
loops to see which one is playing, then store that information in a
variable, then pause and play the variable. Does that sound right?
Thanks again for the help!
