Stopping a movie at a certain frame dynamically

I have a picture gallery that uses a simple go to next frame
when the button is pushed, and images are dynamically loaded into
the flash shell, I want to set a text file variable to stop the
movie from going any further, just disenabling the button function
or??
thanks

sorry..
i think what u are telling me is correct..
i will try it and let you know..
the movie is in frame 1 and after the movie is done i do want
it to move to frame two like u said above, which i will use the add
_parent.play();
i tried using add_parent.play(); but it didn't work
here is the code i am using to scroll the window so it looks
like the window is moving along a line...
onClipEvent (load)
xcenter=150;
speed=1/10;
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
var distance=-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
add _parent.play();
this is what my flash file looks like.. it;s just an example
i drew up really quick.. what it does is that the line travels
through the white box and when the line comes to an end i want it
to move to the second frame and contiue the tween in frame 2.
make sense?

  • How to stop the animation at a certain frame?

    Well, as the title already says, how can I stop my animtation at a certain frame. Is it only possible due setting up a timer, or can I also enter a code that stops at a certain frame?
    And when I stop the animation, will my buttons still be able to get clicked?
    Greetings,
    Coyke

    Thanks for the usefull reply, the problem was that i forgot the add a new keyframe that's why I couldnt make it in the frame I wanted.
    I will have between 15 and 20 buttons that need to be able to get clicked when my animation is stopped, I first imported them to my library, then placed everything where I wanted it to be. Then created them as a Symbol (Selected Button!). Then I created instance names for every single of them.
    With the code that's downstairs I want to let my animation go to frame 200 when I click on the button "Middenknop" while the animation is paused. But now i get this error:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via  een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.
         at Animatie2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
    Here's the code I am currently using:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    //---Middenknop eigenschap verandering---\\
    Middenknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, basisClick);
    function basisClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
        gotoAndPlay(200);

  • Stopping mouse out action between certain frames

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to stop mouse out action on an object between certain time frames. How can I achieve that?
    let me tell you a little about my scene;
    I'm creating a web page with pop-up pages. I have mouse in and out and click actions on buttons which lead to pop-up screens.
    So when I click on buttons pages open, but if I move my mouse out of that button pop-up pages close.
    I would like to keep them open even if i move my mouse out of that button.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, but I actually solved it by using symbols instead of trying to code everything on the timeline.

  • How to stop a movie clip that is loaded dynamically

    Hello Flash Forum,
    I am using the loadmovie method to load a swf file into a
    movie clip "container"
    Code snippet:
    var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1);
    mc.loadMovie('bbc_module1.1.swf','bbc_audio',container.getNextHighestDepth(),
    {_x:300.8, _y:240});
    mc._lockroot = true;
    The movie clip I load does not have a stop action in frame 1,
    but comes up playing (audio and images). I am not using video. It
    is a series of still images synced to the audio.
    I would like to be able to load the movie clip, stop it from
    playing, and by clicking buttons, get it to play, pause, etc like
    the buttons and skin on the FLVPlayer.
    Any tips on how to do this?
    Thanks,
    eholz1

  • Flash html5 - How can i make an internal movie clip slow down and stop when it get to a certain frame?

    I am creating an automotive braking system using flash and have a wheel turning. I want the wheel to slow down and stop after the brake pedal is pushed at a certain frame. I know I could do this with frame by frame animation but was hoping there was a short cut - javascript?? If not the slowing down portion then is there code for just making the internal movie clip (wheel turning) to stop when it gets to a frame.? Thanks

    you can use the ticker class to create a loop that you use to control the wheel's rotation or frame, TweenJS v0.6.0 API Documentation : Ticker

  • Loading An Edge composition at a certain frame

    What I would like to do is to load  my Edge composition at a certain frame.
    I would like to tell the Edge composition where to stop at, within my html file.
    This because I need to load the comp at a different position in the timeline, depending on the html page where I need to place it.
    I was able to start playing the comp
    <script type="application/javascript">
      var comp;
      AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback(function(compId) {
      // "comp" is now equivalent to the Stage's "sym" variable.
      comp = AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage();
      comp.play();
    </script>
    but I would actually want to tell the comp to play at a label.. something like
    comp.play("label");
    but thats not working...
    I am not very familiar with js since I come from After Effects, so it would be nice if someone could provide an example or point another discussion where this problem was solved.
    Thanks

    You will not be able to play from  a label on stage timeline from bootstrap callback as the timeline playback has not started.
    A workaround is to store the label name  you wish to play from in a global variable in bootstrap call back function and using that label to play from in the 0th second trigger
    I know the explanation above is bit confusing,so i have attached a example here.
    IN main.html i save the label(red) to play from in
    AdobeEdge.playFrom = "red";
    Than in the 0th second trigger read that label and play from there like
    sym.play(AdobeEdge.playFrom);

  • Loading an external swf into a target, prompting it to go to a certain frame (loadMovie)

    hello,
    I am making a website for myself and am having an issue with loading an swf and commanding the swf to go to a certain frame. Bassically I have one page, that has 7 seperate small thumbnail images on it which are buttons, each is commanded to open an swf file labelled slideshow. The slideshow swf showcases the thumbnails seperatly in a much larger scale, then the user can look through the images using previous and next buttons.
    this is the code i have so far:
    on (release) {
              loadMovie("meglarge.swf",target_f);
    So each image or Button has this code on it. Then the movie "slideshow.swf" is loaded into the target destination "target_f"
    Although each time you click on any button it starts directly on the first frame of the slideshow. Which is always the first pictue. I want the user to be able to click on any image on the main page and it will load that frame of the slideshow first, which can then be navigated to the other pictures using forward and back buttons.
    I hope this makes sense, and i thank you in advance for the help

    In order to be able to control the loaded file you have to wait until it has fionished loading until you can command it to do anything.  Using loadMovie does not support any ability to determine when the file has finished loading.  You need to use the MoiveClipLoader class instead, where you can make use of the addListener method to detect when loading is complete.  If you look up the MovieClipLoader.addListener method in the help documents there is an example there showing how to use it.

  • Stopping a Movie Clip from continuing to Play

    Hi
    Apologies if this has already been asked. I have two movie
    clips in my FLA. The main timeline consists of 250 frames with a
    stop action to end the movie on the last frame. I've noticed that
    my two MCs continue playing after the main movie has stopped and am
    looking for help in stopping these when the main movie stops.
    I am using Flash CS3. Any help much appreciated.
    George

    Hi Cbeech
    That worked a treat - I was getting bogged down with more
    complex AS - it should have been obvious it was a simple stop
    action.
    Once again, many thanks for that.

  • How to go back to frame 1 when the timeline reaches a certain frame?

    I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.
    I am using Action Script 3 on a PC
    Thank you.

    Thanks from me as well. I'm trying to make an interactive house simulation game (basic) and hit this issue where the timeline needs to skip to the next segment as several options are available per room (listed one after the other in the timeline). Flash isn't particularly easy to use when it comes to this kind of thing. Is Flash Catalyst CS5 more suited to this?

  • Making a stop motion movie

    Hi, i've recently shot a stop motion movie. I have transferred the pictures into Iphoto, and opened them up in Imovie, but when i try to add them with a 0:03 frame rate via the photo settings, it does nothing! HELP!

    You could save a lot of time (no imports into iPhoto or iMovie) by creating your video using a dedicated stop motion software app.
    You could also upgrade QuickTime Player to "Pro" ($30) and use the import Image Sequence to build the video. It takes only a few minutes.
    Export this file as DV Stream (or not) and you can use it in iMovie to use its features (titles, transitions and effects).
    iMovie is a DV editing app. Any file format other than .dv will be converted to it.
    You're working with image formats and you may not even want the conversion to "video".
    Tell us the destination format you want to implement and we can help you decide the best course.

  • Applescript movie duration timecode to frames

    Hi all
    2 Questions
    FIRST QUESTION
    in a text file I have the movie names and their timecode duration
    I hope to convert the timecode duration to the equivalent frame count.
    Every movie time base is 25 frames per seconds
    My text file has the Movie filename a tab and the timecode. This is just an example
    MOVIE1.MOV [TAB] 00:02:12:05
    MOVIE2.MOV [TAB] 00:04:02:12
    MOVIE3.MOV [TAB] 00:00:32:19
    How to convert this to a new file as follows?
    movie filename tab and frames count
    MOVIE1.MOV [TAB] XXXX Frames
    and so on?
    The file list is rather long with over 625 different takes ....

    How to ask Quicktime Player 7 to open a movie file and place the playhead at a given frame?

    Thanks Hiroto
    both your script work perfectly, I want to explain what we are trying to achieve.
    We are using FilemakerPro database as a pre-editing tool for a film we shoot
    Too complex here to explain the serious reasons for this choice
    The scripts in reply to the first question allows us to create a frame field in FMP to then choose various different starting points in our film-files.
    We use successfully this FMP and Applescript combined script from within filemaker to open clips we choose from our FMP file:
    Let (
    mac_path = Right ( Substitute ( Media Path; "/"; ":"); Length (Media Path) - 1);
    "tell application \"Quicktime 7\"" & ¶ &
    "activate" & ¶ &
    "open " & Quote ( mac_path ) & ¶ &
    set the dimensions of movie 1 to {480, 270}
    "end tell"
    the script calls the clip in QT and plays it
    we use the script to open more than one QT window to compare takes as QT allows to see more than one film at the time,
    While your script works perfectly from within Filemaker as "Native Applescripts" playing from the starting point set in the script, I am not able to adapt it in the one we use already. we need to merge them to use some of the fields in my database for the frame_number required.
    Adding this information to the original working script, Quicktime opens the film and gives an error telling it cannot set the playhead to the frame and stops before changing the film dimensions.
    This is what I did
    Let (
    mac_path = Right ( Substitute ( Media Path; "/"; ":"); Length (Media Path) - 1);
    "set frame_number to "  & Frames & ¶ &
    "tell application \"Quicktime 7\"" & ¶ &
    "activate" & ¶ &
    "open " & Quote ( mac_path ) & ¶ &
    "set current time to frame_number" & ¶ &
    "set the dimensions of movie 1 to {480, 270}" & ¶ &
    "end tell"
    Is there a way to fit parts of your scripts in FMP?
    Regards

  • Is there a way to clear ALL event listeners, stop all movie clips, etc?

    Is there a syntax for this?
    I have a movie that has 15 frames. Each frame has embedded movie clips within movie clips, tons of animations and event listeners. None is needed except when they are on the stage, on the frame. However, the animations continue even when the frame is left.
    For instance, I have a frame that has a dynamically rendered animation of leaves falling from a tree. When the frame is left, the leaves continue to fall.
    There are many instances of this type of thing happening.
    Ideally, I would love to just be able to clear everything when a new frame is loaded, since none of the animations or event listeners need to carry over from one frame to another.
    Is there a way to do this without the thousands of lines of code it would take to manually remove every single animation and event listener and sound, etc, from the stage?
    Thanks so much!!
    Amber

    you have to manually do that.
    or, you could convert each frame to a swf.  load each swf when needed and, if you're publishing for fp 10+, you can apply unloadAndStop() to kill all streams in the loaded swf and ready those assets for gc.

  • How do I freeze a certain frame?

    I want to freeze my movie at a frame so that I can put a caption at the bottom, how do I do it?

    Hey Matthew,
    I guess, what I was confused about is, the terminology "freeze".
    I thought "forsure" wanted to have his movie/clip freeze temporarily at a certain frame/still frame so he could overlay a title (or whatever) on that frame/still frame and then have the movie/clip continue to play from that point on.
    Now from what I'm gathering he just wants that paticular frame's duration lenghtened (by creating a Still frame) so he can overlay his title (or whatever) and place it where he wants.
    Sorry for reading more into the original question/post than was stated.

  • Adding a new frame dynamically?

    If I have a flash movie that contains two frames, is it
    possible to dynamically (ie. at run-time) add a third frame to the
    movie via AS 3.0?

    Frames are really just for things you are doing on the
    timeline. If you are using AS to make objects, then its best to do
    it all on 1 frame.
