Flash :: Help Pausing My Movie :)

My Movie's Pausing
My movie’s (Astrocalendar 03)is pausing at certain frames where I’ve got a few movie clips stacked up waiting for a button to control their alpha property( this is the only way I could think to do it with my limited scripting ability) it actually looks like I meant it to happen because of where it does it, but I’d like to know how to stop it.

Pausing A Movie
Is there any way in flash you can pause a movie??

for example
you got type flashing in and out of focus, then the type stops on screen
for exactly (30 seconds) and then carries on playing again, or another
bit of animation appears.

What I'm trying to say is I want to stop a bit of animation for a
certain amount of seconds or minutes and then playing again.
any scripting in flash that does that??

ps don't want to add a load of frames and guess how long coz different machines will play at different speeds needs to be a certain time

Pausing My Movie
Hi Guys,

I am looking for a way to pause my entire movie.

I have created the buttons play and pause and applied the actions

Code:
on (release) {
_root.stop();
gotoAndStop(2);
}

and

Code:
on (release) {
_root.play();
gotoAndStop(1);
}

BUT this only stops the main timeline and all the other movieclips still play.

I really need a way of stopping the whole movie as its needed to talk through a presentation .

Please can you help out a man in need.

cheers

Pausing A Movie
I haven't done a lot of ActionScript, so some help would really be appreciated.

I have a movie with thumbnails defined as movie clips scrolling from right to left. I would like to allow users to pause the movie by mouseover on any of thumbnails.

I called tech support, the guy suggested I create movie clips and use Listeners to get the desired effect. (I was going to start by creating each thumbnail as a button.)

I've been reading everything I can on listeners online, in the help section, etc. I've been checking all of the Actionscript code in Flash trying to find how to start the script, but I'm at a loss.

My movie is currently at http://www.haggertycompanies.com/test/home.htm.

Could anyone help me or at least steer me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Pausing A Movie Clip.
i'm a student taking my first flash class.
I was wondering how to pause a movie clip on roll over. It would be for a photo section. the pictures loop across the screen in a vertical bar. The bar would pause on roll over. then you can click on it and the full size pic will be loaded.
i was referencing the final fantasy site. their url is http://www.finalfantasy.com. click on enter, then on gallery, then on the "A" button. the photobar animates in then in loops.

if anybody could help or point me in the right direction that would be great!! thanks.

Pausing A Movie With Code.......?
Is it possible to set up a pause in my movie with a bit of script? I'm thinking that I'd like to have a five second pause in the movie by getting the movie to stop, and then using a bit of maths, something like; b=a+1 (repeat), when b=100 then play, - you know the sort of thing I'm getting at.

Pausing And Continuing During A Movie.
I'm looking for answers here. Heelp me.

1. How do I pause a movie while it is playing (perhaps during a slideshow) then be able to continue the movie again.

I can make a button that stops a movie. But how do I make this same button play the movie again? Do I have no other choice than to have 2 seperate buttons. I.e. one for pausing and the other for continuing? Is there a simpler Action Script?

2. And one more thing. After publishing my movie and opening the HTML file, the movie plays in the browser window, I want it to have a quit button which closes the browser window. How do I do this as well?

Pausing Or Delay In Movie
I haven't really been using Flash 5.0 very often. A few days ago, I decided to make a flash video for the heck of it. I do not know very much about flash, but I know the simple basics.

But I have a problem with a certain frame. It has text in it and I was wondering instead of making several frames of the same thing for a delay-type concept, how can I pause the movie for the viewer to watch that frame and then having the movie proceed after a set time?

Pausing A Movie Clip
Hi!

I did a forum search to find my answer for this, but none of the suggesitons worked....

I have a button on the stage in the main timeline. Filling the background of the stage there is a looping movie clip.

My button's code is as follows:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/rollOverBlue") {
gotoAndPlay("Blue1");
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/rollOverBlue") {
gotoAndPlay("Blue2");
}
}

I want to add an "On (Release)" which will pause the looping movie clip in the background. It is in the the bottom layer on the main timeline.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Pausing The Movie With All Mcs Inside?
Hi,

I am working ona flash presentation and client wants me to add a button to pause the presentation.I searched the flashkit and found that as from "iaskwhy";

Quote:

on (release) {
count++;
if (count % 2) {
_root.stop();
} else {
_root.play();
}
}

That works fine, pause the movie but all the movieclips in that frame keep working Is there an actionscript that also pauses ALL movieclips and graphics in the movie?

Thanks.

Pausing Parent Movie
I'm looking for a way to pause the parent movie while it loads a movie clip using the loadmovie command. Basically, I've got a main movie that contains start/stop/play buttons and a text navigation menu. When you select a text navigation link, loadmovie is invoked, loading the respective movie into a blank container within the parent movie. The problem I'm running into is that while the mc loads, the parent movie continues to play, which then puts everything out of sync.

I've done some browsing in the forums and have come across setInterval, but I'm not sure if this is anywhere near where I should be looking. Could it possibly be tied to the preloader in each mc? Something like pause until the mc loads, then continue? I'm using Flash MX. Thanks for any help in advance.

Pausing Flash Movie
Hi.
I load a movie clip on top of my movie which is fine. But now I have a new problem. How do I get the original movie to wait for the input from the new clip before it continues? The input movie has a submit button and a input text field. How do I get the value from this movie into this original? The original movie is only one frame.
Is it using event listeners and if so how? Is there a better way? I would rather NOT use popup windows if possible.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Pausing Movie For A Few Seconds
Hi All,

This probably asked already. However due to the pressure I have to finish my project, time to dig in this vast forum threads is a luxury I don't have right now, so here I am writing you

Basically, I just want to pause the movie using a script like:

function wait(secs){
//some small code here to make the
//movie pause for :secs: number of seconds.
}

so along the timeline, I'll just call:

wait(10);

to make it wait 10 second before continuing to play instead of stretching the frames.

Any Ideas? Thanks!

Pausing A Movie Through Scripting
I have found that when you tell a Flash animation to stop playing, it only stops the top-most timeline, and any movieclips are left playing.

What we have created is a Flash animation that may have one or more movieclips in it. The animation is playing within a web page(displayed in IE) and is controlled by JavaScript. The whole package is a training piece that use HTML to display images and text and has a navigation panel to move through the training. Therefore, the navigation panel also controls any Flash animations for pausing and resuming.

This arrangement works fine for Flash animations that do not contain any movieclips. If there are movieclips they do not get stopped when the StopPlay method is used. It appears that in additon to the StopPlay method, the TStopPlay method must be used to stop each movieclip. Then to resume one would have to start each movieclip individually and then start the main timeline. This seems rather cumbersome, especially if there are some movieclips that do not play the entire length of the animation, you would then have to check the current frame location and know which movieclips to start again.

Is there a way of creating a function in Actionscript such that when the main timeline stops, it will trigger an event an call a function that will then handle pausing all active movieclips. And the same for when the movie begins to play again?

Pausing A Movie With Actionscript
Hello,

I have a slideshow (basically 10 frames with an image in each) and I would like to know if I can place a simple bit of actionscript in each frame to make it stop and wait for 10 seconds before moving on to the next frame, then waiting 10 seconds again etc.
I have tried a few versions of this using info from here and elsewhere but when I come to view them on my site the pauses do not happen - the slideshow is a .swf that is loaded into another .swf if this helps.

Thanks for your time,

Tim

Pausing Main Movie With Clip
Hello,

This is probably on here somewhere but I am unable to find exactly what I need so I hope someone can help.

(1)I have a movie that spans about 20 scenes and I want to have the option of an expandable menu on the bottom. When that menu is expanded I would like it to pause the movie wherever it is and have the menu options come up over the frozen movie as a background. There is also sound that would have to pause.

I have another related question too:

(2)In another movie I also have a menu that expands when clicked. This I would like to stay expanded when the user goes to next scene however it returns to its collapsed position. Is there a way to have Flash remember the state it was in for the previous scene?
Here is the url for the second question:

Pausing A Movie Clip When A Mouse Goes Over It.
Okay, so there is a movie on the timeline, and at the end of it there is an action frame that stops the movie so it doesn't loop.

However, the last frame on another layer is also a movie clip, of a rotating circle. This rotating circle has buttons on it that will load other parts of the site. I want the circle to stop rotating whenever someone puts their mouse over it.

How can this be accomplished?

Please keep answers simple, precise, and easy to understand. I'm an artist and I don't know code very well.

Pausing The Loaded Movie 5 Secs
This script pauses 5 secs the timeline.. if I put that on a frame in main
timeline
works ok...

// Set the following two values for how long you want to
// loop, and how many frames to loop:
pauseDuration = 5*1000;
framesInLoop = 1;
if (startTime == null) {
startTime = getTimer();
gotoAndPlay (_currentframe-framesInLoop);
} else {
lapsedTime = getTimer()-startTime;
if (lapsedTime<pauseDuration) {
gotoAndPlay (_currentframe-framesInLoop);
} else { startTime = null;
}
}

However I need to pause a swf loaded into level1 when a button is pressed...
I couldn't customize it to make it work...
I thought that changing the gotoAndPlay for level1.gotoAndPlay would be
enough
but it is not... can someone help me please?

Thank you!
