Stopping a flash movie

could anyone perhaps tell me how i can stop/pause a movie for
5 seconds...
My current movie is 40 frames long and i need to pause it at
frame 34 for about 5 seconds...before continuing on to frame
40...without user interaction (no buttons or mouse actions)
i did a search on the adobe site but the link seems to be
broken:
"How to use GetTimer to pause a movie (TechNote
#14207)"

1st make frame 34 a keyframe... and then put this script on
frame 34...
stop();
intervalHandle = setInterval( resumePlay, 5000 );
function resumePlay()
clearInterval( intervalHandle );
play();

Flash movies stop after a random amount of time,

The problem that I am having is that flash movie files (Every website) play for a moment or two and then stop with the little “loading” symbol turning endlessly in the center of the screen. Flash movies used to work with no problem but over the span of the last few months it went from not working well to not working at all. In a perhaps related problem sometimes downloads will stop after a certain length of time and also seem to “hang” at a random spot. If I pause the reload and then restart it the program or whatever will usually finish downloading. This doesn’t happen often but does happen. The flash movie thing, though, happens every time – no matter what browser I have tried. (Firefox, IE, IE with no add-ons, and Chrome anyway.)
I have tried solutions that I have found all across the internet, including the Adobe and Microsoft forums, to no avail. I have unloaded flash with the Adobe uninstaller and reloaded flash. I have tried various flash releases – with and without a firewall on. I have made sure that I am using the 32 bit version of IE and even tried running everything in “administrator mode.” I’ve upgraded every driver that I can upgrade. I’ve used a registry checker as a last resort. I even used the Dell partition to return my computer back to the condition that it was in when I bought it and that didn’t change anything either.
Everything I have tried has made zero difference. In the hopes that someone will have another idea for me to try I am putting all the stats for my computer that I can think of below.

Thank you for answering eidnolb -
Answering your questions...
Have you had a Virus and if so what Anti-Virus program removed it?
No virus that I am aware of
Since you have a Dell, McAfee came pre-installed? Did you remove it prior to Installing MSE? If so, did you use the McAfee Removal Tool or just remove it from Control Panel/Programs & Features?
My computer did come with McAfee which isn't on my computer now. I used a program called "Decrapifier" that removes unwanted preloaded software that comes with PCs.
Is McAfee still Installed?
No
Do you have any Anti-Virus/Spyware programs other than MSE?
No - I have just used MSE until now. I thought about using AVAST but was't sure what running 2 virus/spyware programs would be like.
Since MSE doesn't have a Firewall, do you use any Firewall other than Windows? If so, which?
I use Windows Firewall. I have tried both adding Youtube as an allowed program and switching the firewall off enirely with no luck.
Do you use a Router? Is it Wireless?
I do have a Lynksys router that is a little older but I've also tried hooking the modem directly to the computer.
Is Qwest wireless?
I use the wired ports and not the wireless for my connection.
Other than IE8, what browsers and versions are Installed now?
I only have IE8 now. I never reinstalled the other browsers after using the Dell partition. I prefer Firefox so having to use IE is frustrating.
I've also used "RegestryBooster" to make sure that my regestry looked okay.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I think you are right about me doing too much - LOL

Flash Movie Stops Playing on Laptop

I have a very basic flash movie in an html page. It does fine
except on my client's wireless laptop where it stops about 1/3 of
the way through. It does fine on his pc at the same time it stops
on his laptop. Any suggestions as to what the problem is.

Are both machines running the same version of Flash Player?
Using the same browser / version?
Is the laptop wireless?
Is the Flash Movie making any calls to a remote server?

Stop button on flash movie doens't stop it unconditionally

Hello again to all ...
Sorry but I need to ask you to go to
http://www.importubos.com/
There you can see this flash movie has a play and a stop
buttons.
Their associates action are respectively:
on (release) {
play();
and
on (release) {
stop();
Question is:
Although they work well, when I stop the movie and go, for
example from EMPRESA to CONTATOS (through site menu),
the movie starts again playing.
How to stop the movie so it stays stoped even when I go
through different section of the site ?
Lots of thanks
Miguel Garcia

You'd probably have to set a cookie and read it back (through
javascript) on
each new page. I think the animation is more than enough on
the home page -
I would make a static jpg of it for each of the interior
pages if I were
you. Then you don't have to worry about cookies and
javascript. Just assume
that they don't want to see it keep going, and going, and
going... :-)

How do i make an image pause in a flash movie clip

Please can someone help me. I am trying to find out how to pause or stop an image in a basic flash movie clip, after it has entered from one side and before it exits the other side.
I have been trying to work it out myself for three days but no joy. I am practicing for a test with a training agency which gave me a disk to use but nowhere in it does it say how this is done. I am also having a lot of difficulty making stop start buttons work with this movie clip. I am using a trial cs5.5 version of Flash which expires in 7 days so i need to know this soon. I am up to speed on most of the features, its just this one thing that has me stumped. A lot of the tutorials or examples i have found on the net are very long winded and hard to follow exactly. Could someone let me know, step by step the sequence i should follow after i have created an object and made it go from one side of the stage to the other.

Hi
Thank you for getting back to me. Yes i am using a timeline tween. I have an image on my stage which moves in from one side and out the other side. I am trying to stop or pause the image. The effect i will be asked to reproduce in my exam will be something very much like the banner on the website http://www,iactweb.com. If you go to this website you will see images arrive on the banner and pause before exiting the other side. I am fairly up to speed on all the aspects of getting this effect but i have forgotten what i learned during the course on how stop or pause the images. I am using the trial cs5.5 version of flash . Thanks again for getting back to me.

Flash movie doesn't load properly in IE only

I have a simple flash movie which transitions through text and photos. I have a preloader (AS3) on frame 1, which sends the playhead to frame 2, after the movie has loaded 100%. For some reason, in Internet Explorer, the preloader bar will load all the way, but fail to move the playhead to frame 2, so it'll just sit there, with the preload bar at 100%. However, this does not happen every time. For instance, right now, the flash movie will play when I initially go to the website, but when I click on another page, the same flash header (same swf on each page) will just show the preloader bar but will not play the rest of the movie. Reloading the page doesn't help. Closing the browser and reopening it doesn't help. Clearing the browser cache doesn't help either. So, the flash movie will play correctly on the first page of the website I go to (whether it be the home page or another page) but then when I go to any other page which has the flash movie, it won't play, just sits there with the preloader bar showing. And then when going back to the initial page I entered the site on, the flash movie no longer plays there, either. I haven't seen this problem in any other browser than Internet Explorer (6 and 7). I've checked in Firefox on Mac and PC and Safari on Mac. I'm using flash player 10.0.22.87 on my Mac and PC. The flash movie was made in Flash CS3, for flash player 9, actionscript 3 code.
So, to see the problem, go here in Internet Explorer: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar. Wait for the movie to load and start playing. It works. Then, navigate to one of the other pages and you'll see that the same swf will not play. Navigate back to the home page, the swf does not play.
Here is the preloader code:
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
    lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
    if (pcent>=100) {
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
Also, if I remove the preloader actionscript code, the flash movie plays correctly. You can see that here: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar/no-preload
The .fla is available to anyone who wants to take a closer look.

mjjp,
     In may just be that in IE, the ProgressEvent never fires -- because your content is already cached. See what happens if you add the following new lines (very end of the code sample):
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(
ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
if (pcent>=100) {
    this.gotoAndStop(2);
if (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded >= this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
     See what's going on? This way, even of the ProgressEvent handler never fires, you're still comparing the bytesLoaded property against the bytesTotal property.

Confused.. trying to stop a flash video using java

Hi, I am trying to put a video on a webpage that uses java to
hide it's visibility.
This layer has a video, and when a person clicks on a link
java hides the layer and it is supposed to stop the video from
playing. I know how to hide the layer, but I am new to flash and I
have not seen a way to use java to turn of the video.
Any ideas? How I can use a simple java function to turn the
video off?
Many thanks for any ideas to solve this.
Joe

I'm pretty sure that you mean Javascript and not Java. Have a
look at the ExternalInterface class. There are some examples in the
online help that demonstrate calling a function in a Flash movie
from Javascript in the HTML doc.

Hi users,
Thanks for reply.
Actually the problem is -
For portrait dimensions are -
width 20
height 30
for landscape , obviously it will be
width - 30
height - 20
Thus , for second page - table width is 20 while page width is 30 and so 10 cm space remains blank on right side of page
user says that right side should not be blank, rather you extend table width to whole page width.
thats where the problem is

2 sounds in a flash movie

hello, i have 2 sounds in a flash movie, music and narration.
I have this script in frame 1 for narration sound:
_root.my_sound = new Sound();
_root.my_sound.attachSound("antedespacho");
_root.my_sound.start();
and i have a MC, in frame 1 of movie, and inside, in layer 1
this script for the music:
_root.fondo = new Sound();
_root.fondo.attachSound("musica");
_root.fondo.setVolume(0); -- every 5 frames i change the
volume for make fade in ;)
_root.fondo.start(0,99);
I have 2 buttons in main timeline for start/stop narration,
but when i stop the narration, the music stop. Where is the
problem??
This is the script of the button:
on (release) {
_root.donde = (_root.my_sound.position);
_root.my_sound.stop();
Thanks in advance.
Sonia

You must attach the sounds to separate movie clips. Then you
can control them separately:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("despacho_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
my_sound = new Sound(despacho_mc);
my_sound.attachSound("antedespacho");
my_sound.start(0,1);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("musica_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
fondo = new Sound(musica_mc);
fondo.attachSound("musica");
fondo.setVolume(0);
fondo.start(0,99);
and here's a handy script to automate your sound fade-in:
var tuneVol:Number = 0;
musica_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (tuneVol>=100) {
tuneVol = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
tuneVol += 10;
fondo.setVolume(tuneVol);

Need help with FLV type SWF playback in flash movie

Hi,
I have three external SWF files from a client without FLA
sources. The SWFs were done 3 years ago by someone else so there is
no way to modify the existing SWF files. These contain no
interactivity but may involve nested clips on the main timeline.
They are AS1 or AS2 files so they need to be done with AS2
scripting to keep it simple.
I need to call these SWF files inside another flash movie and
play them in a player window as if they were video files with
play/pause, seekbar and volume controls. The needed functionality
is similar to FLV players. My controls will use custom graphic
buttons and sliders mimicking the look of CNN video player window.
Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to script these
controls for SWF?
Most likely I think I will load it in a clip and I am
thinking that I will need to get the duration of the loaded swf in
order to set up the seekbar.
Thanks in advance,
Attila

I think your professor, or somebody, gave you directions with ActionScript 2 programming. In AS2, what oyu have here would have worked just fine. But, in AS3, you need to use a fairly different approach. Your buttons, and their instance name, can remain the same. But now, in AS3, you have to add event listeners in the following manner:
yourButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yourListenerFunction);
In your case, you can do one of two things - A) assign a unique listener function to each button, or B) assign the same listsner to both functions:
A)
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startPolygon);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPolygon);
function startPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
    polygon.play();
function stopPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
    polygon.stop();
B)
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
function controlPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
   if (e.target.name == "start_btn") {//Test for the name of the object that dispatched the CLICK event
      polygon.play();
   } else if (e.target.name == "stop_btn") {
      polygon.stop();
When I'm using several buttons that do the same/nearly similar things, I favor approach B over A, as it keeps me to jsut one single function to deal with.

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Alancito
Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();

I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

If you try any in IE8, they stop half way and do not give a smooth stream. I am wondering if I have to stream differently and not via the progressive download stream as I have??!

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

For Flash
Trace(GetIconProperty(iconID, #pathName))
for QuickTime
Trace(GetIconProperty(IconID, #filename))
For full scripting reference for each of these sprites, open
up the
Properties panel for each sprite and press the Help button
that appears on
the properties page ... or else navigate to these folders for
the Flash and
QT help

You don't want to know how many times I asked Macromedia to
stop hiding that

Flash movies in image-control

When I load different flash movies in the same image-control
(e.g. via a button-click), the browser-cursor starts switching from
a busy-cursor (the little round clock-cursor) to an arrow (or
hand)-cursor intermittingly, without stopping.
When I load the same movie over the existing one in the
image-control this does not happen.
Seems like I have to unload the old movie first? I don't know
how to do that.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanx in advance.
