Stop Frame

How do I apply stop() Actionscript to last frame of timeline
so playhead stops there and doesn't return to first frame?
I'm trying to follow this tutorial:
Using Flash for the first time – Part 2: Adding
symbols, animation, and ActionScript
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt2_print.html
Which states:
You can stop the playhead from looping by adding a single
line of ActionScript. For example, if you add this ActionScript to
a frame, the playhead stops when it reaches that frame: stop();
But when I do so, stop() Actionscript shows in every frame
together with all my scripts, and returns to frame 1 as indicated
in this tutorial:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14189
I have working buttons with instance names that use
Actionscripts.
All scripts are as below:
stop();
rewindBtn.onPress = function () {
gotoAndStop(1);
stopBtn.onPress = function () {
stop();
playBtn.onPress = function () {
play();
endBtn.onPress = function () {
gotoAndStop(_totalFrames);
pauseBtn.onRelease = function () {
(toggle = (toggle) ? false : true) ? stop() : play();

Figured out the problem.
I was trying to place stop action on same layer with button
actions,
which are placed on first through last frames.
Undoubtedly, this registered stop action with first frame,
even though I clicked on last frame to enter stop action script.
I made separate "Stop" layer, inserted blank keyframe in last
frame which left all other frames clear, then entered stop action
script.
Works fine, now movie stops on last frame.

  • Using Mattes and Masks to add real mouths to stop frame animation.

    Hi all, I'm new to Final Cut Pro, having only really used Avid on PC in the past. I'm currently studying animation in my third year at university and I seem to have hit a stumbling block.
    Basically I have created a short stop frame animation featuring various characters, movements and shots etc. From here I would like to be able to add 'real' mouths to those characters (by means of filming the lips/mouths of my voice actors in video format and super imposing them). So here's where it gets complicated (for me at least!).. Whilst I have read that it is possible to overlay sections of video upon original video using Mattes and Masks I haven't been able to find any instructions as to how I would be able to accomplish this with images which are moving around the screen (I.E. I would need to add a mouth to a character who is walking along a road, from left to right, and so I would need to be able to manipulate the location of the mouth so that it was always located over my characters face). I hope that my question makes some sense , I wont get my hopes up for a resolution, but this seems to be quite a busy board and I've managed to pick up a few tips from here recently so hey, worth a shot .

    Forgot to mention that you'll have to keyframe the mask to move as well.
    If the speach shots are not moving then you have definately made things much simplier for yourself.
    For a simple example of keyframing. (Don't blame me if I confuse you further)
    Load a clip in the viewer. (make sure that you have the canvas set to IMAGE and WIREFRAME.
    Click the MOTION TAB in the viewer. Each of the Basic Motion attributes can be controled individually over a period of time. This is done by placing keyframes on the timeline to the right of each attribute.
    Place the playhead (in the canvas) at the start of your clip, then press the round button in the Centre attribute section. The black dot added to the timeline is your first keyframe.
    Now move the playhead further down the timeline and press the round button in the Centre attribute section again. Now click the imag in the Canvas and drag it to the right.
    Now when you play the clip the shot will move left to right, one keyframe to the next.
    That's it in a very small nutshell. And remember, almost any effect or motion can be keyframed.

  • HD Stop Frame Capture Advice Needed

    I am currently capturing a lot of old 8mm and Super8 film using CaptureMate software. However, Capturemate only supports SD resolution and I would like to capture the film in HD.
    Would anyone have a suggestion for similar software that would support HDV. Quicktime will capture an HDV video stream just fine, but there is no facility in QT for stop frame. Capturemate works great as it is triggered by mouse clicks. Set up a frame in the camera, click the mouse, capture the frame, move to next frame.... etc.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    Finally found a video tutorial, and it appears iStopMotion is mouse click on a SMALL button, but I don't think it will work at 8-12 click per second. Besides the HD version does not support HDV, only HDMI input AND the HD version is $499 US. About 12 x what I paid for a SD solution. And + the cost of an HDMI card AND the cost of buying a Mac Pro - about another US$3000 minimum.
    I just need a single purpose app that just does frame capture at about 8 to 12 frames per second. No onion screen, no editing, no special features, just simple frame cap with a preview screen. If it works on a G4-733 OS X 10.4, that would be perfect.
    Thanks

  • Multiple problems with installation and stop frame animation

    I have just spent 24 hours of increasing frustration trying to install and use On Location. I recently bought a Matrox RTX 2 Premiere CS3 desktop edit suite. On Location recognises any camera I attach via the drop down menu but will never display a video image or activate any capture commands. An afternoon with my dealer's tech support did not find a solution.
    Next I tried installing it on my Vaio laptop. It would not display the menu bar, but components would display, my camera was recognised, and I managed to capture avi type 2 files in mpeg at 1080i PAL. These will play back on the laptop in media player but crash Premiere when I import them. Matrox say these files should be supported. After these tests, OnLocation began to crash the Vaio as soon as I plugged in a camera. The Vaio presents a black screen and the OS freezes completely, requiring a hard boot for recovery.
    I have uninstalled it and attempted to install it in a brand new Vista HP laptop. The install crashes during activation. After 3 uninstall/reinstall attempts I gave up. I will now start again with a fresh install on the Vaio. Will report back if I make any progress today. Any suggestions meanwhile would be much appreciated.
    The holy grail, by any means possible, is to capture stop frame animations in HDV 1080i PAL format. I need one laptop to work for capture, then to transfer the animation files to the desktop for editing.
    many thanks

    Hi Martin,<br />Sorry to hear you're having such problems. I have no experience with Matrox system, so I cannot speak directly to compatibility with OnLocation CS3. For both computers, I'd be interested in seeing the system specs. If you're willing, how about sending the dxdiag file for each to me at [email protected] I'll see if anything jumps out at me.<br /><br />One detail that does not compute is your reference to recoring "avi type 2 files in mpeg at 1080i PAL." HDV content cannot be recorded to the AVI format. The only options are MPG and M2T. If the clips are indeed AVIs, then the camera must have been set to the DV mode.<br /><br />As for OnLocation crashing the computer so badly that a hard reboot is necessary, that generally points to some deeper problem in the computer's drivers or BIOS. When it gets into that state, have you tried bringing up Windows Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE) and killing the OnLocation process? I'm wondering if the system isn't totally locked up but appears to be so because on this low res display, OnLocation has basically taken over the whole display, so when it fails to launch, you can't see any other Windows controls. If this is the case, then deleting the AppProps file here: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\OnLocation CS3.<br /><br />btw, the reason you see no menu bar is that the laptop's display is at the minimum for OnLocation CS3 (1024x768, if memory serves). The menu is shown only at higher display resoltions.

  • Stop Frame Animation

    On behalf of a young lad (13)....
    Can this software enable him to do stop frame animation? If not what is an alternative that is afordable for a 13 yr old lad's pockets?
    What is the best video camera for this type of activity?
    Many thanks to those who respond. Much appreciated.

    I should have explained that in the main I am not technologically advanced.
    It appears that Premiership Elements is capable of creating stop frame animation films and that a DSLR is best. It took a while but I guess that a DSLR is a a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera.
    Many thanks to you all.

  • How to stop frame rates from dropping?

    Hi, I've been having an issue ever since purchasing the 27inch late 2013 iMac and can't seem to find a solution. I use Quicktime to record with my Logitech c930e webcam, previously used c920 but was told it wasn't "compatible" by apple tech support, but every single time I finish recording its never in 30 Frames Per Second or even 29.97 Frames Per Second.
    My problem is that every time I record using QuickTime, my videos are always losing frames and QuickTime is making the videos 29.65 FPS or if I'm lucky 29.77 FPS. I know I can use compressor to convert the files to 29.97 or even 30FPS but by doing that those files will be way too large for my 3TB hard drive in the long run.
    Is there any way to fix this solution? Also I record in 720p, or high quality setting, because for some odd reason when recording in the max setting it doesn't allow me to record in 1080p, unless I unplug the camera and plug it back in, it makes the resolution 2304 x 1536.

  • How to stop frame from compressing

    Ok... I'm still using GoLive.
    I have a page with three frames. One across the top.
    One "content" frame on the right, and one menu frame on the left.
    The menu frame is set to be 200- pixels.
    But when you drag the whole window to the left, the content window
    goes over the menu window, obscuring it.
    How do I make the menu frame stay 200 pixels and not be covered up.

    Thanks for the response.

  • How can I colour pop a moving object in a stop-frame animation in After Effects CS6 (Creative Cloud)

    Hi,
    The title pretty much explains what I want to achieve.
    I have a black and white video and I want to colour pop a moving object in it with it's original colours.
    I'm a full member of the Creative Cloud and so have all the suite available to me.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks.

  • Playing a few frames of a movie in reverse but stopping at set points

    I'm very new to flash and even though i'm capable of using the search function and finding posts which look relevant i don't really understand them, most notably i am only familiar with controlling a movie clip with buttons within the movie clip symbol and i get confused by actionscript that seems to do otherwise.
    Within a frame on my main stage i have a movie clip symbol of around 125 frames. To control this movie clip symbol i have 4 button symbols within the movie clip symbol. The actionscript code that runs throughout this movie looks like this:
    forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nudgeforward)
    function nudgeforward(event:MouseEvent):void
        nextFrame();
    backward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nudgebackward)
    function nudgebackward(event:MouseEvent):void
        prevFrame();
    fastforward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fastforward)
    function fastforward(event:MouseEvent):void
        nextFrame();
        play();
    On another layer i have stop(); commands on a few select frames. (25,50,75 etc)
    This leads to free frame by frame navigation using the buttons forward_btn and backward_btn and if you'd like to move to set points in the animation you can use the fastforward_btn which plays the movie clip forwards until it hits a stop command on one of my chosen frames.
    What i'd like to do is have a button that plays the frames backwards until it hits these frames. Is there a combination of while loops and prevFrame() i can use or anything straight forward?

    The only thing that comes to mind is to use some modulus math to determine when you are in a frame that should be a stopping point. This would work as long as you have spacing such as you explained...25, 50, 75....  If the currentFrame%25 == 0, then that is a frame to stop in.  As far as the act of keeping things moving, you want to employ an ENTER_FRAME event listener so that it continually processes the prevFrame() call.  As soon as you hit a stopping frame you want to remove that listener.
    If the modulus approach wouldn't cut it for all cases, then you could also try to work out some form variable implementation that is assigned the last stopping frame number as you move forward beyond it, using that variable to check against the currentFrame value in the ENTER_FRAME event handler function.

  • Navigating from one movie to a particular frame in another

    Is it possible to navigate to a particular frame in a different movie... the reason being, I am trying to minimise the size (mb) of the movie so it doesnt get to a stage where the machine it is on bogs down. For example, I am cutting the movie down into each product which has 20-30 stop frames in it (getting to around 24mb) per product... if i were to combine all products together (15 of them), u can imagine the size (mb) of the movie...
    Thanks again

    I found another post similar to this with an answer that worked. Sorry for the double post.

  • How do I make precise frame range deletions in the middle of project clip?

    I need to make a precise deletion of frames 8:55:15 to 8:56:12 in the middle of my project video clip.
    Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
    Problem: When in my project, while the red pointer tells me exactly where I am in my clip (when I select Playhead Information in View), the problem is that I have no information to tell me the exact location of the right and left selection handles so I can precisely select 8:55:15 and 8:56:12 of my clip for deletion. I press the Option key and the pointer moves to the beginning or end of the clip, not to one end handles of the selection.
    In iMovie 3 when the selection handles are moved I get information as to exactly where each handle rests in terms of time or frames for easy deletion of the exact selection I want to remove.
    Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
    Thank you.

    Problem: The trimmer won't do it because it keeps the very selection which I want to delete, while deleting the frames before and after my selection range.
    Don't use it. It is for trimming the ends from the clip selection.
    Can iMovie 08 make precise frame range deletions somewhere in the middle of a project clip?
    Yes. The basic strategy is to expand the project to its maximum scale (0.5 sec) and to then select the range of frames you wish to to edit. Start by slowly dragging the playhead across the clip in the area you wish to access. The time in white below the window will display the exact (minute:) second: and frame across which you are skimming, as well as display the frame itself in both the thumbnail and the preview screens. (NOTE: I prefer visual selection of the frames rather than using a time reference since such references may change as transitions and titles are added.) When you locate the first frame you wish to delete, press the mouse to select it. While holding down the mouse, continue to scrub the clip to locate the last frame you wish to delete. When you locate it, release the mouse. At this point you can either split the clip and keep/delet the sub-segments as needed or delete the selected range using the "Delete Selection" or "Cut" Edit menu options.
    Another method would be to select the approximate range you wish to edit in the middle of the clip and then grab and drag the beginning and ending "handles" to adjust the exact start and stop frames for the "Selected" range. In this case, the times ate the bottom of the "Project" window represent the "in" and "out" points for the range of frames currently selected. Once again, I prefer to select the in and out points visually as I scrub. Also, for me, this two-stage adjustment approach seems quicker and easier for my approach to editing.
    The problem is that the playhead refers to the red pointer, thus I can get an exact location of the pointer in terms of time and frame, but NOT a location of the selection handles.
    Okay, I see what you mean. However, if you use the two-stange method described above, the point where you press the mouse to mark the begin handle of the selected range is the "begin handle". Same holds true for the release point (playhead time time) for the stop handle.
    Is there some way I can line up the pointer exactly with the location of the right or left handle then use Option key and Left/Right arrow keys to move the handles to my exact range frame by frame?
    Not really at the same time. iMovie does allow you to set the exact start point and will tell you when you have reached the exact number of seconds and frames for the range you wish to delete. Adding the two together does give you the exact time of the end of the range in seconds and frames.

  • SWF goes white at end despite stop command

    The title says it all really; I've got a simple FLA that just
    slides some content into place.
    It's got a stop frame at the start because it's actually a
    submovie of a parent movie (and the stop on the first frame
    accommodates the preloader in the parent) so when the SWF is viewed
    in isolation a quick tap of the Return key is needed to start it
    playing... entirely normal.
    BUT when it gets to the end the SWF it goes white, instead of
    displaying the content visible on the last frame (30). There's a
    stop command on the last frame. Why does it all go blank?
    I figure you'll need the FLA to help, so here it is:
    http://tinyurl.com/2wmc2z
    (2.5MB)
    I wondered if the AS inside the slideshow_mc was causing it,
    but swapping slideshow_mc for a regular static image with no
    internal AS made no difference. None of the other symbols have any
    internal scripting.
    This is baffling me, mainly because the FLA is so bare-bones
    that I can't see where the problem can possibly be hiding. No doubt
    I'm missing the wood for the trees, so can someone end my pain
    here?
    Cheers.

    Ugh. There's nothing quite like posting your problem in a
    public forum to make you spot the solution 10 minutes later.
    The issue was a badly typed stop command.
    Wood for the trees, like I figured.
    All is fixed, no need to respond, sorry to trouble the group.
