Stop Animation After Mouse Event
Perhaps the subject isn't correct but here's my problem:
I have a MC with this AS on it:
code:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The MC has 20 frames with stop; action on the last keyframe. Also on the last keyframe the MC becomes invisible. The animation plays after the user pointed on the MC. The problem is the animation starts playing again if the user pointed again on the MC, after it's already became invisible. So my question is: how do I prevent the animation from playing again after it's alsready became invisible?
Thanks in advance!
[F8] Follow The Mouse - Stop Mc At Location Of Mouse On Click
I have an mc that follows the mouse a certain distance on the x in both directions and then eases to a stop when the mouse gets a certain distance.
What I need to do is to have the mc stop on button click at the x position it is at on click. Then, when another button is clicked the animation continues from it's stopped location to the new mouse location. All with easing of course.
Here is the code for the mouse tracking:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 3;
}
onClipEvent (load) {
stageWidth = 700;
imageWidth = 615;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
destx = (stageWidth-imageWidth)*(_root._xmouse/stageWidth)
_x += (destx-_x )/speed;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How Do I Stop And Start A Movie On Mouse Out And Mouse In?
Look at:
http://www.hugo.com/home.asp?lang=en&som=hw
Click on the left most button.
You have three buttons.
- When the mouse goes over the button, the movie starts playing.
- When the mouse goes out of the button, the movie stops playing exactly where it was playing.
- When the mouse comes back in, the movie starts playing at the exact spot where it was left playing.
How do I do this!?
I guessit's to do with the onClipEvent function?
I've tried a few things, but can't figure out what the parameters should be.
I just can't figure out how you stop exactly at some place in the movie when the mouse goes out AND how you start it again from that same spot when the mouse comes back in!!?
Can anyone figure out how to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

180 Degree Pan On Mouse Over - Stop In Place On Mouse Out
I want to do something similar to these except I would like to have left and right arrow buttons that pan on rollOver and stop in place on rollOut.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flas..._image_pan.htm
http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomp.../360panviewer/
I was able to get it to pan on mouseover correctly, but mouseout seems to moving the mc to -3830. Here's my code
//code on panning_mc
onClipEvent(load){
_root.targetx = -3830; //Startposition
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
diff = _root.targetx - this._x;
this._x += diff/50;
}
//code on left button
on(rollOver){
_root.targetx = 50;
}
on(rollOut){
_root.targetx = panoramic_mc._x;
}
//code on right button
on(rollOver){
_root.targetx = -50;
}
on(rollOut){
_root.targetx = panoramic_mc._x;
}
Can anyone help?
2 Part Question : Stop Movie Animation/Load Movie Animation
Okay I am a VBA guy and taking on a project in Flash. So 72 hours into it I am going nuts on a simple problem = P. I read a tutorial from http://www.echoecho.com/flashbuttons02.htm about how to make animated buttons. All went well, I was able to DL the FLA and really see the inner workings. However. When I mouse over I want the move to play but not loop. I can't get it to stop. I want my button to go from black to alpha 20% and stay on mouse out, 20% alpha - black. That code on the site makes it loop, which is very unappealing. (Also in the FLA they use grouped graphics, what the advantage to that?)
So second part. In my button I would like the "down" to enable another .swf to open and play on the other half of my page setup. Am I coding onpress() on the down part of the button or elsewhere in the FLA.
I wanted to attack my fla file but i guess you can't. regardless if ppl need to see more of what I am doing then I can host it on my site. I figured this is pretty basic stuff that once I know I will get it.
http://www.alexrat.netfirms.com/portfolio/teevo/teevo.htm - This is a site that I liked. It has the nice buttons like I am trying to build and then on mouse clicks it changes the other side of the page. That is what I am aiming for.

I Want Animation Not Do Stop.
I'd be grateful if you could help me to solve a small problem.
I want to create a button including an animation. The problem is: when the cursor is over the button the animation starts... then as I bring the cursor out of the button the animation stops- which is an undesirable effect.
To sum up, I'd like the animation not to stop as I bring the cursor out of the button. It is expected to remain to its end.
Is it possible to describe how to do it?
Regards.

Stop Animation At The Right Frame
I have this button, next to it I've got an MC.
button:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
mc.play();
}
on (rollOut) {
mc.stop();
}
Fact is I don't want this code. On rollOut I want some kind of if that says kind of like: wait until movieclip mc has played the full animation (10 frames) and stop it when it reaches frame 1.
I do not want to use the gotoAndStop command, that's not my purpose. I want my cube (it's a spinning cube) to smoothly stop, not just flicker and jump to frame 1.
Do I make myself clear? Help is really appreciated.

stop();

and on each button
------------------------------
on (release) {
place = "portfolio";

Cant Stop Menu Animation

Stop Animation Button Help Please
Hi, I am having a problem with a button that stops some movie clips.
Basically I have two buttons one for play and the other for pause. On startup only the pause button is visible, and when you press the pause button, the pause button goes invisible and then the play button visible and vice versa. Nothing complex.
I have 5 small animations that are named movie1-5 respectively, and are grouped together in one main movie, called mainmovie.
I have the mainmovie, so that on rollover the animations stop, and on roll out they play again. I want the play and pause buttons to do the same thing. But I just cant get them to work.
Here is my code for the two buttons.
PLAY BUTTON
on (release) {
_root.pause._visible=true;
_root.play1._visible=false;
movie1.play();
movie2.play();
movie3.play();
movie4.play();
movie5.play();
}
PAUSE BUTTON
on (release) {
_root.pause._visible=false;
_root.play1._visible=true;
movie1.stop();
movie2.stop ();
movie3.stop ();
movie4.stop ();
movie5.stop ();
}
and for the rollover/rollout state for the mainmovie
on (rollOver) {
movie1.stop();
movie2.stop();
movie3.stop();
movie4.stop();
movie5.stop();
}
on (rollOut) {
movie1.play();
movie2.play();
movie3.play();
movie4.play();
movie5.play();
}
Im not sure what im doing wrong, but I just cant get it to work.
If you have any ideas I will be most grateful.
Many thanks Alex

Animation Will Not Stop Looping
I have a animation that is about 50 frames with sound. I made it in photoshop put it into fireworks then i put it into flash because i didnt understand flash that well. problem is it was looping in fireworks so i took it off, imported it into flash (with no loop) and tested movie in flash. Everything was fine no looping. Once i upload to my site it was looping. What do i need to do in order to make it stop looping. In flash and fireworks it says no looping, but when i hit play it loops, even though it says no looping. Why is it looping? Thanks
How To Stop MovieClip Animation
Hi,
Within my Library, I have created a movieClip called MovieA. Inside this movie I have placed several animated movies, call them subMovie1, subMovie2, etc.
Is there a way to stop the animation of all the subMovies within MovieA? I want to do this by a command like...
MovieA.stop();
(I cannot run a stop command for each individual SubMovie, because I may have multiple SubMovies per MovieX. And there are other reasons, too many for this post.)
Of course, MovieA.stop() doesn't work, hence my post.
Thanks.
What Can I Do To Stop My Animation From Pausing?
My animation playback in publish preview tends to pause momentarily when something new enters the stage. My symbols that enter the stage were drawn on photoshop, should they be png files? If so how do I make the white background invisible when impoting it into flash?
Is this pausing going to happen when my animation is published for real?

Four Images In Non Stop Animation
Hi all,
I want to do a banner with images passing continuously one after the other in non stop animation.
I have 4 images, I import each of them in a new layer and I create a motion tween from right to left for each image.
Eveything works fine, but after the last image has passed there is a time until the first image appears on screen again in which theres no images, nothing is shown... How do I fix that? I'd like the first image to come right after the last one .. how do I do that?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Walking Animation Stop();
Someone has been helping me out, seeing if anyone else can help me out:
I have a walking person that goes to the middle of the stage, stops, and looks down and something in their hand
I have a main timeline that contains a movie clip (I will call it 1) and 3 frames as of right now.
That movie clip is actually the person walking arcoss the screen, so the tweened person.
Nested inside of that, is a mc (called 2) that is the actual steps of the person walking.
Here is my problem that was partially fixed.
I need my mc 1 to run and stop and then go to frame 2, frame 2 will have a mc on it as well, that should run its course, and then go to frame 3 and so on.
This was the code that was put at the LAST frame of the MC 1 (the tweened person walking)
stop();
_root.WalkingMc.motionMc.gotoAndStop(1);
WalkingMc is the instance name on the main timeline
motionMC is the instance name of the actual MC 1...the tweened person (Does that make sense?)
When I had just ONE frame this worked correctly. My person walked, and stopped when I wanted it to. The problem came when i added frames. I changed the frame # (I know I have to change this to actual names fin place of the frame #) and it didn't work.
My file size is too large to add it on here, but I can email it to anyone on a mission to help me out :-)
Thank you so much.

Stop(); And New Layers W/animation
I got a stupid problem which I can't figure out. I got a new layer above a layer that has a stop(); in it. I can't seem to get the animation to play in the layer above the layer with the stop(); in it?
Anyone can help me with any clues on how to get that animation to run regardless of the stop(); in the lower layer?

Stop Animation Looping.
Hi all!
When i push a button, i want my animation to stop looping when it has played 1 time. Then skip to scene 2 (wich will contain the last image of that animation) then from there pressing a button to go back or play another animation. But that would be easy if my animation just stops looping. I think i have unchecked every loop option, This is what i have now and this is my code for scene 1:
Quote:
//stops the playhead at Frame 1
stop();
//this script takes the user to scene 2 (zoom in on closset) when zoominclosset_btn is released
zoom1btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndstop ("Scene 2", 1);
unloadMovie ("zoomclosset_in");
};
//function plays zoomclosset_in when zoom1btn instance is released.
zoom1btn.onRelease = function(){
_root.attachMovie("zoomclosset_in", "zoomclosset_in", 1);
};
Scene 2 is empty so the problem shouls lie here i think. So i just want to play that zoomclosset_in animation and after that go to a new scene when a button is pressed.
I hope someone can help me out. thnx!

Stop Animation On Sites?
i have a seizure disorder and find all the flashing/animation on the sites these days really hard to take. I find that the flash settings do not stop it from occurring and if I disable images or java or any combination of things I often do not get all the content I need. I can right click and uncheck the play. loop and show all but that is time consuming when going from one page/site to another. I just want all the motion to stop. I do not watch videos or any animation to speak so that is not an issue. WHAT can I do? It is really making my time on the web uncomfortable.
I use Firefox as my browser and AVG for my AV

Help With Getting Animation To Stop In Other Scenes
I am using Flash CS3. I'm new at actionscripting and am not quite sure I understand it completely. I have a movie that has a few (2-4) scenes in it. Each scene is like its own "commercial" I created a holiday movie that has snowflakes falling using an online tutorial. The movie works fine by itself, but when I load it as a scene in the movie that has my "commercials", the snowflakes continue to fall throughout the rest of the scenes. The holiday movie has a movie clip that has a snowflake falling straight down. The actionscripting duplicates the movie clip randomly as well as its opacity, postition, etc. I understand what I did during the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to get the snowflakes to stop falling throughout the rest of the scenes. I've tried entering a stop after the script but it just seems to stop the scene there without continuing to rotate through the rest of them. I don't quite understand where to tell it to stop. Somewhere else on the actions timeline? In the movie clip itself? Here is the actionscript code I'm using:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc",10);
var i = 0;
myInterval = setInterval(addFlake,500);
function addFlake() {
if (i<20) {
var t:MovieClip = canvas_mc.attachMovie("snowflake","flake"+i,canvas _mc.getNextHighestDepth());
i++;
t._xscale = t._yscale = Math.random()*80+20;
t._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
t._y = -50;
t._alpha = Math.random()*40+50;
}
}
I hope I've provided enough info. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!!!!
What Could Cause ActionScript Animation To Stop?
I am working on a site that requires swf's loaded onto the stage to be tweened with actionscript. And it randomly stops the animation.

if you want an illustration
I could post the code but it's pretty long and drawn out, just looking for ideas.
Thanks!
