Button - Stop The Currently Playing Mc...

Hi,

I have a complex timeline with many different MCs playing, telling each other to play when they end, and advance on the main time etc etc.

I have a global stop (and play) button. Is there a way to make this button "smart" as in
code:
on(release){
// look for the value of _root.CurrentlyPlayingMC and stop it
_root.CurrentlyPlayingMC.stop();
}

How do I set the value of 'CurrentlyPlayingMC' to the currently playing MC?

I tried adding a _root.CurrentlyPlayingMC = "introduction"; at the beginning of the MC (changing the variable value for each MC) but the button didn't do anything.

I so close to this project I am forgetting my AS. Maybe someone with less on their plate can help me out

Thanks,

/Flip

Button Won't Stop Playing
Hello I'm new here and i figured some of you smart people out there may be able to help me or at least guide me in the right direction.
My problem is that i have a button which in the over state has a movie clip on it. I also put an action on it so when you rollover it it plays a motion tween. Everything works great except if you hold the mouse over the button it will continue to play the same movie and tween over and over again. I put a stop in every place i could think of and it just won't work. any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How To Stop Movie Clip From Playing In Button?
Pls refer to the link below:

http://www.tsldesigns.com/test/dynamicbutton.html

Hello, pls help. Just Click Refresh and you will see the Movie Clip animates even without mouse over. How do I stop this?
Where should i put the stop() action? You can email suggestions to sulin@tsldesigns.com Thanks.
Or I can also send you the fla to check. Basically I created 2 Movie Clips in Flash, with opposite animation - Menu In and Out. In the Up Button state, I put Menu In Movie Clip and in the Over Button State, I put Menu Out Movie Clip. I put stop() actions at the last frame of both MCs.
Now, where should I put the stop() action to stop the Menu In MC from playing on loading Flash movie?

Hope to get reply soon. Thank you.

best regards,
Su Lin

How Do I Enable A Playing Movie To Slow Down And Stop At The Click Of A Button?
Hi,

I was just wondering whether someone could tell me how to script a playing movie (within a movie (not on the main timeline)) to slow down and eventually stop.

For example, I click on a button (that's not on the timeline) and I want a certain movie that's already playing to slow down over a period of 10 frames and to stop on the 10th frame.

Any ideas? Anybody?

Thanks for your help!

[MX04] How To Stop Video From Playing Automatically Until User Click A Play Button?
I am using Flash MX 2004.

I have made a video player from scratch and not from the pre-baked components.

I have the video player with a play/pause button, rewind button, a loader, buffer, mute button, etc.
The flv. Videos load into a list box via an xml file which then the user can click the desired video link and switch from video to video.

Using action script I want to know how to stop the video from automatically playing until the user clicks a play button when the player first opens.

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

nc.connect (null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

theVideo.attachVideo(ns)

rewindButton.onRelease = function()
{
ns.seek(0);
}

playButton.onRelease = function()
{
ns.pause();
}

Making A Stop Button, Or Telling A Button To Stop A Streaming Video
Hello,

I've searched the forums and tried to find an answer to this question, but most of the posts go unanswered or are way beyond my understanding.

I'm using a form based application in Flash professional 8.

I have a .flv video of a movie trailer that I created from Quicktime. I intend to stream this video.

I also have a button called "Trailer". When I click on the "Trailer" button, I see the .flv video I created along with the play/pause control skin that I added in the import video wizard. I press the play/pause button, and the movie plays.

This is as I had expected it to be.

Now, when I want to go to something different, for example clicking a "Photos" button that displays a slideshow, the video continues to play.

Is there a way I can tell the "Photos" button to stop the streaming video?

I've searched the forums, and found a few answers, but I don't really understand them. I added them to the script of the "Photos" button anyways to see if they did anything, and every time the video still kept playing.

Here's what I've tried so far:
------------------------------------------
button.onPress = function (){
player_mc.clearVideo();
}

Where player_mc is the instance name.
-------------------------------------------
Adding a stop component, but this isn't really what I want. I'd like the "Photos" button to stop the movie without the user having to hit a separate stop button.
-------------------------------------------
.stop() and ._visible=false;

I don't really understand this.
-------------------------------------------
removeMovieClip("component_mc");
-------------------------------------------
instance.stop()

From what I understand this is only for adding to a keyframe to stop a movie that's looping, and not for what I would like to do. Is that correct?
-------------------------------------------

I would greatly appreciate any help, not only just for me, but for any other newbie who may run into this problem.

Thanks!

Swf Won't Stop Playing
Hello I have an external movie that I am player in another swf.
I would like to stop the swf when its sequence finishes but it just seems to stick around and not finish. I.e when the movie is done it dosn't dissapear in the other movie clip. I know this should work because my other swfs work fine. The difference with this one is that it has a control bar inside it that is used to rewind, fast forward, ect.

I am not sure how to unload this clip inside the file itself. I cannot change the script in the main swf though this needs be done from the external file (the one with the control bar that is being loaded into the main movie).

Here is the script from the external swf with the control bar that is being loaded in. Any ideas?

_parent.stop();
faderbackground._width = width;

_width = Math.abs(_x)+faderbackground._width+((_height-faderbackground._height)/2);
shadow._width = _width;
}

} else {

Long MP3 Won't Stop Playing
Hi, forum. First of all, bless all of you old salts who make a bee-line to the Newbies threads to read the likes of this. You're the class I should be taking at the local BOCES, but for lack of $.

Anyway, today I placed a 4-minute-long piece of music, an MP3 with top resolution (iTunes), onto a layer, to read the track onto an exposure-sheet. (Anyone remember those?) The song shows up as a single frame. I hit the Play button on the control panel, and the music plays. I hit anything else, or attempt to scratch with the red frame marker, and nothing happens. It keeps going till the end, or till I quit Flash.

My equipment: iMac, 256mb, Flash 5. My education: the manual.

How Can I Stop Sound From Playing
I got a simple question - I bet you have a simpler answer

What I want..
-------------------
Make an animated gif of a flag move when u have the mouse over the button(gif)and at the same time play the national anthem until you remove the mouse away from the button - then the music and animation should stop.

What I have done..
-------------------
a)Made a MC (flag_move) and imported the animated flag.gif to the MC. Also imported the anthem.mp3 file. Added a new layer and at the first frame on that layer I put the mp3 with sync:start

b)Created a button (flag_butt). At the "UP"-state I hade a gif of the flag not moving. On the "OVER"-state I placed my MC (flag_move). "DOWN"- and "HIT"-state I left alone.

c)Placed an Instance of the button on the stage

What happens..
-------------------
When I move the cursor over the flag it starts to animate it and the anthem plays just like I want - BUT - when I remove the cursor from the button-instance the music continues until the mp3 is done. NOW What/How should I do to get the music to stop at the same time my marker leaves the buttonarea ????? ??

Stop MC Playing Again In Scene 2
Hi

I need assitance figuring this out.

I have a Flash MX movie that contains a movie clip.

In scene 1 the movieclip plays.

When It finishes, it goes to scene 2 and stops.

However because the animation has been put into a movie clip, in scene 2 the animation plays again.

How can I make the movieclip in scene 2 goto its last frame?

One answer is not to use scenes which I would prefer not to do.

Thanks

Playing To Last Frame, Then Stop..
Well as the title says, when i push a button, i want a movieclip to play to the end of its timeline and then stop. (its constantly looping now). I would guess that and action saying gotoendAndStop(u get the idea) or something like that would be what i need.

Remember i cant just use stop in the timeline cause of the loop. Or maybe if i could activate a stop function when i hit a button?

Thanks in advance...

Stop FLV From Playing When Clicking Away

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

PHP Code:

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickAway);
function clickAway(event:MouseEvent):void

instanceName.stop();
}

This is the error I get:

It works. However how do I stop this movie from playing when I go to another frame or page? Thanks in advance.

Stop 1 Movie When Playing Another
I have a project with 5 flv files in it. I have buttons to take the user to whichever clip they would like to hear (they are audio only, with controllers).

The problem is, once you have started any of the clips playing, if you click to go to another one, the first one continues to play at the same time. Is there a simple script to tell whatever may already be playing to stop before the other one begins?

This is my first Flash project,btw-- I don't know anything! :)

Need To Stop Audio Playing
Hi, I'm building a Flash website.

I've used frames with names to contain the different 'pages' of the site. On the frame called 'SVHS1' I've built an XML mp3 player with buttons and a volume slider.

If I press the stop button on my mp3 player and then navigate to another frame (any frame before or after â€˜SVHS1â€™) the site works fine, and the mp3 player works perfectly if I go to that frame again. But if I navigate to another frame without first stopping the song it continues to play even though Iâ€™m not on the mp3 player frame, and if I go back to the mp3 player before the song has finished it starts playing automatically from the beginning of the first song in the XML list again and simply doubles up the sound, which is horrible. When this happens the playback controls only affect the 2nd version (understandably).

Naturally, I don't want to the user to have to press the 'Stop' button before navigating elsewhere in the site. I think this is probably quite simple to fix and I assume that I have to write some script (an eventListener and function similar to that which allows the 'stop' button to work) that tells the mp3 player to stop playing if/when the user navigates away from that frame...but I donâ€™t know how to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

Movie Should Stop...but Keeps Playing
ok...I promise...I'm not on drugs.

I also apologize for the length of this...but I have to explain.

This is driving me nuts....I've done a simple presentation....large, but simple.

It's basically a demo of a product that tracks trucking fleets via GPS.
Anyway, the movie starts....goes to a certain keyframe, loads all the pretty graphics and such and the navigation, then....STOPS....waiting for a mouse click on one of the buttons. So far so good.

Now....if you click the "View Demo" button, it simply jumps down the timeline...and starts playing the demo movie...like it's supposed to.

Here's where the weird stuff starts.
Within this demo movie...I have a simple button, that allows the user to escape the demo....when clicked...it simply goes back to the begining of the timeline to a particular keyframe with a stop action on it.
And then....it stops....All good so far.

However, after a few seconds....maybe 5 or 10....it starts the demo again....just jumps down the timeline and starts playing again!!!!....There is no fancy Action Script or anything.....I'm very confused.....and am hoping that someone may shed a little light on this.

The file is huge...so posting it is no good.

Anyone?

Stop A Movie From Playing
Hi
I have this clock which I just want the hand to move only by 180 degrees
So I have this code like ( not complete code here)

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myclock", 3);
/*..
...
.. some code here and then
*/

myclock.onEnterFrame = function () {
myclock.secondsHand._rotation+=1;

if( myclock.secondsHand._rotation==180)
{
trace("Wow");
myclock.stop();
}
}
but this is not working

Can someone tell me how I can stop it at 180?
I do get a trace "Wow" but it keeps on playing

Stop Buttons While Mc Playing
hi i have a number of buttons in a flash movie that show different photos. It's pretty simple (you can see it here: http://www.oliperphonic.com/tst-page.html)

The problem i have is that if you click one button then impatiently click the next one it won't work as the mc is still playing and kind of gives the impression that you have to click the button twice. Is there anyway to stop the buttons from working while the clip is playing out?

Another question but not so important is: You'll notice how if you click the pics from the bottom up the previous little button fades back in and the new photo shows. However if you don't go in order from bottom to top the wrong pic fades back in (should be the last one you were on). Is there a simple way of making this so? Just some ideas would be great, i'm a bit of a flash simpleton i'm afraid.

Many thanks for any help

Movieclip Stop Playing
ok, i'm trying to get a movieclip within a movieclip to stop playing when it reaches its last frame.

let me describe my problem:

it should start playing when the user rolls over the movieclip that is containing it(i'll call this mc1, and the movieclip within it mc2). i've put a stop action in mc2's last frame but it won't stop and plays again and again. one thing i should point out is that there is a variable in mc1 that tells the movie whether it's ok to play the movie in reverse when the user rolls over mc1, if this is false, that means that it plays normally(not in reverse). i'm using "play()" to play mc1 when the user rolls over it and this is where i think the problem is; even though the last frame of mc2 has a stop action, it is somehow told to play again?

anyways, this is just a guess, i haven't figured out why or how to fix it. i'm not sure if my explanation was too hard to understand so i'll try to clarify it if anyone wants me to. if anyone can give me a solution, it would be very much appreciated.

-i'll try to upoad a fla asap

Stop Sound Playing Over The Top Of Itself
Okay, i really need some help on this. I have a play button where if clicked will play the sound over the top of it when its already playing, if that makes any sense. the sound is already called on the first frame. if the user clicks the play button again, it will play over it.

heres my play button code. i need to know what to add to add to make it check to see if the audio is already playing. My audio sound is named myMusc.

on (press) {
if (playing != true) {
if (paused != true) {
playing = true;
paused = false;
stopped = false;
myMusic.start(0, 999);
}
if (paused == true) {
playing = true;
paused = false;
stopped = false;
myMusic.start(myMusicPosition, 0);
_root.myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
myMusic.start();
};
}
}
}

Thanks

All My Sounds Stop Playing
hello everyone.

I've got a sound loop playing in the background of my movie, and when i press a certain button, the sound fades out. Everything works fine, but when i press that button, all the other sounds in the movie (button sounds) stop. And they never play again until i turn the loop back on...

this is the code that loads my loop:

ActionScript Code:
s = new Sound( );
s.attachSound("pizz1");
s.setVolume(0);
s.start( 0 , 50000 );

it fades in and out using those code:

ActionScript Code:
s.setVolume(5);
s.setVolume(10);
s.setVolume(15);
etc...

and this is the code that loads my button sounds at the begining of the movie:

ActionScript Code:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(this);
my_sound.attachSound("sound1");
//
trans1.onRollOver = function() {
my_sound.start();
};
etc...

Does anyone know why it stops all my sounds?
thanks

The MP3 In My Timeline Won't Stop Playing
As most newbies say, I apologize if this has been asked before. I did a search and came up with nothing, however.

I'm pretty new with Flash with almost anything except simple animations. I'm doing a project for class and have to use a song in the background. Problem is, every time I play it the animation will stop (I have figured out the 'stop' action as well... ), but the music keeps on going.

I've tried everything in the Control menu, and the only thing that gets the music to stop is clicking "test movie" or "test scene." It then goes into that mode (obviously), and the music will only stop once I exit from there and go back to the stage/timeline screen. Which is a HUGE hassle when all I'm trying to do is to line up the music with the animation.

I'm new to Flash but definitely not new to computers in general...and have racked my brain trying to figure this out. I did a search online, checked Flash's help site, and looked in the Visual Quickstart Guide for Flash that I have...and I got nothing.

I only have the beginning done to the animation, 30 seconds or so of the entire song. And, like I said, the music just keeps on going even though I really only want to see that first 30 seconds to see if everything's lined up correctly so I can finish.

Someone please help before I destroy my monitor.

How Do I Stop A Sound From Playing?
Here is what I currently have scripted on a button.

on (press) {
arnold.stop();
}

on (release) {

arnold.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Arnold is the name of an instance of a movie that plays Arnold Schwartzenegger saying "No problemo"

I'm making a do it yourself arnold rap movie.

What I want to happen is when you press the button rapidly, it would say.... "no no no no no no problemo."

The problem is that the movie keeps playing and all I ever get is no problemo. I cant get it to stop halfway through his phrase when I reclick the button.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Movie Just Stop Playing After Compile To Swf
Hi,

I m currently doing a flash assignment where after i compile to exe or swf is about 6MB, with about 148 scenes. It runs fine but if i add in more scenes and then i compile, it is about 6.1MB then is where my problem starts. The exe or swf will play my movie half way before it stops and just can't continue anymore.

My movie is just a simple animation which doesn't involve much scripting.

Is is because there are too many scenes or the file size too big?
Please help...

[F8] Mp3 Player Wont Stop Playing.
This is probably some stupid coding that I missed but, I'm stumped.

I have an MP3 player that, when selected, plays songs(Obviously) - And that works fine, but, my problem is.. If I click a song to play, then decide to browse the rest of my site - The song keeps playing.

How would I make it so that the Mp3 player stopped playing that song once I left the page? It wouldn't be such a big problem, but, when I come back to that initial page with the mp3 after browsing the rest of the site - I can't control the mp3 that is already playing. So, I figure if I put a stop on it once the page is exited - It'll solve the problem

The site is..

http://www.libertycustomchopperseats.com/Karizmatik/

and the player is on the "tracks" page.

I can upload the .FLA if anyone wants to look at the coding.

But, a tutorial, or any help would be muchly, muchly appreciated!!
