Flash :: How Do I Pause A Movie Automatically?

[F8] [F8].:.:.:make This Scene Start Automatically And Then Pause.:.:.:.
I am trying to get rid of the buttons and just have my two objects (MC1 and MC2) move automatically without the click or need of a button...here I have two buttons btnEasing and btnDefault (resets to original point),

I need the objects (MC1 and MC2) to go from the first destination to the second destination automatically, also would anyone happen to know how to pause for a minute when it goes to the first destination before it goes to the second destination??

thanks

code pasted below:

PHP Code:

function ease (object, targetX, targetY, speed) { if(!easingArray) { easingArray = [[],[]]; } var found = false; for(i=0; i<=easingArray[0].length; i++) { if(easingArray[0][i] == object) { found = true; if(easingArray[1][i] != object._easing) { clearInterval(easingArray[1][i]); easingArray[1][i] = object._easing; }; if( (Math.ceil(object._x) < ( Math.ceil(targetX - 1) ) ) || (Math.ceil(object._x) > ( Math.ceil(targetX + 1) ) ) ){ object._x += (targetX - object._x)/speed; } else { object._x = targetX; }; if( (Math.ceil(object._y) < ( Math.ceil(targetY - 1) ) ) || (Math.ceil(object._y) > ( Math.ceil(targetY + 1) ) ) ){ object._y += (targetY - object._y)/speed; } else { object._y = targetY; }; if( (object._x == targetX) && (object._y == targetY) ) { clearInterval(object._easing); }; }; }; if (found == false) { var long = easingArray[0].length easingArray[0][long] = object; easingArray[1][long]= object._easing; }};Movieclip.prototype.easing = function (targetX, targetY, speed) { ; clearInterval(this._easing); this._easing = setInterval(ease, 40, this, targetX, targetY, speed);}/*****************************************************************************/this.btnE.onRelease = function () { MC1.easing (10, 250, 5); //first destination MC2.easing (250, 250, 5);}}this.btnReset.onRelease = function () { MC1.easing (17, 19, 1.5); //second destination MC2.easing (202, 25.9, 1.5);}

How To Create E-mail With Flash Movie Played On Arrival Automatically (movie Should B
Hi,
I am looking for simple but working solution to send Flash movie as a part of e-mail. I would like to send Flash movie with e-mail (part of e-mail itself or as attachment) and it should start playing as soon as message is downloaded. I was using HTML page as stationary (script was downloaded from the net, with embedded movie as object). It worked perfectly fine as long as I was sending email to myself and it played within Outlook or Netscape. But on other computers with appropriate player was installed nothing happened despite enclosing Flash movie to e-mail.
I believe that it should be simple solutions. Can anybody direct me to place where I find right script or advise how to point flash player to sent movie and make it play.
Best regards

How Do I Automatically Maximize A SWF Movie?
Hello all,

I am building an interactive CD and the first file

If you do know how this is done, please tell me!

Automatically Having The Movie Resize
I need help. I made a large swf, which is 2000 x 1000. When I publish it and view it in a website, there are scroll bars and you cannot see the whole movie. I have seen websites where no matter how big or small the window is you can always see the whole movie because it automatically resizes. How do I make it so that the movie automatically resizes in a web browser, so that you can completely see the movie and that there are no scroll bars?

Load Movie Automatically
basically i have and to load the move i want to load automatically you have to click on the "home" button:

}

_root.mtClip.unloadMovie;
}

How do i make the index.swf load automatically at a point, when the page loads (in a certain frame)? Or is this the completely wrong way around it?

Automatically GetURL At The End Of A Movie?
Iâ€™ve been using Swift3D to create a splash page. Iâ€™ve imported the movie into Flash and worked out how to [stop();â€™] my movie from repeating. At the end of the movie I want it to another webpage in the same window.

Iâ€™ve tried adding the getURL script in the last frame of my movie but I get this error in the output window:

**Error** Symbol=movie.swf, layer=Layer 1, frame=59:Line 1: ')' or ',' expected
getURL(http:/www.mysite.com/);

The movie plays but the [stop();â€™] action is ignored and the movie continues to loop. Iâ€™ve tried putting the getURL before and after the [stop();â€™] action but I get the same error.

So what am I doing wrong? Iâ€™m really new to this. Trying to learn DremWeaver at the same time and my head is fried.

Can someone help?

Many thanks in advance.

Stopping A Movie Automatically
I've been combing through the content on this site. All very good stuff for somebody as green as myself. Unfortunately, I've run into a hiccup that I can't find a solution for...

So, I have flash encoded movies playing inside the site. Once I hit a link that takes me to the frame, the movie loads and plays. Hereâ€™s my catch: Once I click on any other button to take me to any other part of the site (in the same SWF, just another part of the timeline), the movie audio can still be heard, so obviously the movie is still playing/loading in the background. Now, I fooled around with creating a function that would stop a list of movie files that are in the site if any of a list of buttons are pressed. This gives me null errors back when movies that arenâ€™t being accessed are triggered to stop. Also, this is an extremely clunky way to tackle this.

My question is this: Is there a way I can create a function attached to the page the movie is on or the movie itself to tell it to stop playing when the user leaves the page. A function independent of any particular button or movie so that it can be used universally on additional pages with various movies without having a great deal of editing of the ActionScript?

Thanks so much in advance!

Close Movie Got To Next Web Page Automatically
New, very NEW.

Created a Swish effect as an "intro" for a Web Site. Exported in Flash format to Dreamweaver MX. Preview in IE6. Fine.

How do I get the Movie to go to the next page in the Site (hyperlink) "AUTOMATICALLY" after the it has played ONCE.

I understand the ACTIONS feature in Swish can set rollover activations of a link. I've done that but it is not what I require.

Can I make an AUTO hperlink in Swish?

Is it possible to do the trick in Dreamweaver MX or Flash MX?

There must be a way to achieve this effect (action?).
I have seen it done on several sites.

Appreciate the solution.

Automatically Load A 3rd Movie Layer.
Hi,

I have a navigation menu of links on the site. When the user clicks on a link, it will open a small movie layer (file2.swf file) that has a looped song playing. Now while the song is playing, I like to have a 3rd movie layer (file3.swf) automatically load. I have the link working to load file2.swf by a click of a button. I need assistance on an actionscript that will start at a timed state to load the 3rd file, file3.swf, but initiate automatically without a button click. This is what I have so far embedded in file2.swf to load file3.swf:

gotoAndPlay("Load File3 Page");
function PlayTime()
{
loadMovie("http://www.en-tact.com/domain/file3.swf", 2);
clearInterval(ID);
}
ID=setInterval(PlayTime, 6000);

thanx

Loadmovie - Loading One Movie After Another Automatically?
Hello,

I am working on a portfolio website and I use Flash occasionally for objects that I traditionally have mixed with HTML in the past, but now I am trying to create a portfolio website using flash entirely.

I have learned about the 'loadmovie' action and am able to use that effectively. i will have a navigation bar on the left with various buttons. I then have an empty movie clip that external content pages will fill up through 'loadmovie' when navigation buttons are clicked.

what I would LOVE to do is to whenever a new navigation button is clicked, have whatever external .swf file that was previously loaded into the empty movie clip space to FADE OUT quickly before being replaced by the new content .swf.

I have played around with things and this would probably be possible by covering up the previous movie with the background image with an alpha motion tween.. or by somehow fading out the prior content and having it replaced by the new content.

unfortunatley i dont know the actionscript required to do something like this. I was thinking having the button behavior to somehow play a movie that covers up whatever needs to fade out with the background image, and then have the correct movie play after that one is finished... if this possible? so have the button trigger a movie, and then have another movie start automatically (in either the same space or a different level) right after the first one finishes.

I hope this makes sense... Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

How To Close A Movie Window Automatically

Trying To Get One Of My Functions To Automatically Run When Movie Plays
Hey all,

I am having some difficulty getting a function to run/work when my movie plays.

The function controls my menu and I need one of the options to start flashing automatically when my movie plays.

In this case I am forcing the controlling variable to equal "1" so the first menu option should start flashing.

_root.menuvar = "1"; //controlling variable
_root.pt_menu.ptmenumc.menufinal.menuchange(); //running my function

It must be something to do with where I am running the function from or?

My file is here:

I Don't Want Flash Movie To Load Automatically In Firefox
I have built a page with a large movie which I want to start by clicking/mousing over another image on the page. In IE 7 it works perfectly, whereby the movie does not load as soon as the page opens. I have to mouse over another image to get it to load. In Firefox, it's the opposite. After trying various things, I now have it so that in Firefox it does not load automatically, but it also won't load when I mouse over the other image. Sigh....

Here is what I've done so far:

I have followed the directions for Controlling Shockwave or Flash within (Dreamweaver as follows:

1 Choose Insert > Media > Shockwave or Insert > Media > Flash to insert a Shockwave or Flash movie, respectively.
2 Choose Window > Properties and enter a name for the movie in the upper leftmost field (next to the Shockwave or Flash icon). You must name the movie to control it with the Control Shockwave or Flash action.
3 Select the item you want to use to control the Shockwave or Flash movie. For example, if you have an image of a "Play" button that will be used to make the movie play, select that image.
4 Open the Behaviors panel (Window > Behaviors).
5 Click the Plus (+) button and choose Control Shockwave or Flash from the Actions pop-up menu.
A parameters dialog box appears.
6 Choose a movie from the Movie pop-up menu.
Dreamweaver automatically lists the names of all Shockwave and Flash movies in the current document. (Specifically, Dreamweaver lists movies with file names ending in .dcr, .dir, .swf, or .spl that are in object or embed tags.)
7 Choose to play, stop, rewind, or go to a frame in the movie. The Play option plays the movie starting from the frame where the action occurs.
8 Click OK.
9 Check that the default event is the one you want.
If it isn't, choose another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Show Events For submenu of the Events pop-up menu.

I have followed all these directions, but the big movie starts playing as soon as I load the page, rather than waiting until I mouse over/click on the small jpg below. I have even added the <param name=play value=false> to the big movie code to no avail. I am viewing the site on Firefox.

Here is my code for the large movie:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

Script To Automatically Play More Then One Movie Clip
What I did so far can be seen at www.chrisribar.com/serviceleads/

The problem I have is that it does turn the first button on when the movie starts. Due to this, it does not play the 'out' of the first slide. The script I used is:

currentButton = null;
firstButtonPress = true;

function buttonCheck(n) {
buttonCollection['b'+n].onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay('in');
};
buttonCollection['b'+n].onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay('out');
};
buttonCollection['b'+n].onPress = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay('press');
this.enabled = false;
buttonPressed(n);
};
}

function buttonPressed(n) {
if (firstButtonPress == true) {
mainClip.gotoAndPlay("pageIn"+n);
firstButtonPress = false;
} else {
buttonCollection['b'+currentButton].gotoAndPlay('out');
buttonCollection['b'+currentButton].enabled = true;
mainClip.gotoAndPlay("pageOut"+currentButton);
}
currentButton = n;
}

for (z=0; z<6; z++) {
buttonCheck(z);
}

In the mainClip movie clip, the last frame of the 'Out' plays this script:

gotoAndPlay("pageIn"+_parent.currentButton);

telling the clip to play the next 'In'

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

MX2004: FPS Keeps Automatically Resetting In Simple Fade In Movie
Am I just missing something?

I am trying to simply create a fade in so my picture fades in and stays. I set the frame rate to 40 fps, but when I hit play it randomly changes many times throughout the movie and settles at 2.7 fps. It's only one layer, one picture, fades in for 15 frames. I want it to take about a quarter of a second. Fade in and stay...not too difficult, right? So why, when I hit play, does the frame rate jump around on it's own, and it end up taking over 5 seconds to play 15 frames? Am I missing something or just being stupid?
I am not experienced with flash, so any help appreciated
