Pausing MC's
I have an if statement that evaluates a variable and performs an action until the variable reaches 10. The only problem is, 10 cycles through happens very quickly, and I need the process to slow down. Is there a way to insert a pause within the if statement telling the computer to wait for a few seconds before proceeding to the next pass?

Please Help - Pausing
i have a problem

loadVariablesNum ("data.txt", 0)

loadMovieNum (songpath, 1);

songpath is a variable in data.txt that has the song file, for some reason it wont play, but if i put the loadmove before the loadvariables and put the actual filename there, it works, so i thought it might be that its trying to use the variable before loadvariable has loaded them?

so is there any way to create a delay between the loadvariable and loadmovie

btw, im wanting the movie to play as soon as it loads

please help

Pausing A Swf Within A Swf
I have a video clip (.swf) running inside (with loadMovie command) of a movie (which will ulitimately be exported as .exe or .swf). I need to be able to stop and start the movie so that viewers can refer to information before continuing on.
I can stop the flash movie, but not the video clip. How can I "pause" the entire movie, video clip and all?

Pausing?
Okay.. I'm horrible at working with flash and trying to explain what it is I'm trying to do, so bare with me.

I'm making a horse race viewer for my website. I send data to the movie (ie. horse names and stats and stuff like that). That all works fine. Here's the layout of my scenes and such:

Scene 1: Preloader
Scene 2: Horse Introductions
Scene 3: Race Information
Scene 4: The Actual Race
Scene 5: The Results

I've found that the stop() function seems to 'erase' my variables and their data.. so I'm trying to do something without using the stop function in my movie. But... I want users to be able to view the horse introductions and such for as long as they want to and click a button when they're finished reading to move on to the next part of the movie. I've tried doing the following:

frame 21 has nothing in it
frame 22 gotoandplay(21)
frame 23 has nothing in it

and when the button is pressed, it will go to frame 23 and continue to play the movie. but.. it won't. it just sits there. any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't think of anything else to do and being unable to use the stop function is really mucking things up a bit.

thanks in advance

How can i pause the motion inside the movie for few seconds and then to continue it ( as in to freeze the move on a certain keyframe without adding or spreading it over the timeframe) and i dont mean using the "Ease in and out"
example: on the banner the object reaches some stage in the morphing stops for 2-3 seconds and continues the morph.
thanks in advance for any help guys.

I have created a pause feature in my game that uses a recursive function to pause a movieclip and all it's nested movie clips so that all the animations stop. It uses the movieclip.stop() function. That works fine, but when I do the same thing to try to resume using a movieclip.play(), things go haywire. It seems to resume from where it was in my movieclips, but it keeps going through their timelines even if it was supposed to be stopped on a certain frame. Anyone have any ideas (I'll put the code below).

Code:
MovieClip.prototype.pauseAll = function() {
for (name in this) {
if (typeof (this[name]) == "movieclip") {
this[name].pauseAll();
}
this.stop();
}
};

MovieClip.prototype.playAll = function() {
for (name in this) {
if (typeof (this[name]) == "movieclip") {
this[name].playAll();
}
this.play();
}
};
_root.pauseAll(); // this works fine to pause

_root.playAll(); // resumes, but keeps going through the timelines

[F8] Pausing
Hi

I am using Flash8 and AS2 and I want to put in a pause between two functions. This will then give the effect of some text sitting on the stage and doing nothing between times of activity.

What's the easiest way of achieinvg a "Break in the action"? I could do it using setInterval but that does seem like a rather complex way since I will then have to write another function (which I guess will be called twice - first at time 0 and then say 1 second later).

Thanks in advance

Edward

Help With Pausing Mc For 10s
I have a scene where a post-it note flies in from offscreen. Once it settles at it's destination, a close button appears.
If the close button is clicked, the note disappears (gotoAndPlay(76)).

Here's the tricky part: If the button doesn't get clicked, the post-it note needs to stay there for 10 seconds then goto frame 76 (where it disappears). What code would I use?

If you can help, I'd really appreciate it!!!

FLV Pausing
Hello all,

I'm trying to make a flash swf with two frames. On the first frame is an flv with buttons such as play and a seek bar. On the second frame there is no video and just some other information. I am trying to make it so when you press a button on the first frame the video is paused and you get taken to the second frame, then if you click a button on the second frame you can go back to the first frame and continue the video from where it was paused.

Unfortunately I can't seem to do this, the video seems to pause ok, but it plays from 0 again after you click back from the second frame. I can't get it to stay paused when navigating to a different frame.
The only way I could get it to pause was by having the layer with the video on extending along to the second frame(without making it into a new keyframe, so it's one long keyframe lasting 2 frames) but the problem with that is the triangle on the seekbar is still visible on the second page, even though the second page's background is above the seekbar's layer and everything else from the first page is hidden.

If anyone has any ideas about what to do it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Pausing An SWF In A MC
Kind folks,

I have a pause/play button that I would like to use to pause an external swf that plays in a movie clip. The movie clip has an instance name of "window". Different swfs play in it from time to time.

Is it possible to write a script that will reference the instance name "window" and it will pause whatever swf is playing in there at the time?

And how would I write the code? I've tried a couple ways and it didn't work.

Pausing The Timeline - Why Am I So SAD
It's got to be easy, but I just can't find a way of setting up an actionscript to pause the timeline for say 10 secs or until the user clicks the screen.

I know that I can just insert extra frames to make up an extra few seconds, but there must be a way to do it with actionscript.

Sorry if this has been posted/answered before. I did trawl for ages trying to find the answer....

Cheers.

Pausing A Sound
Hi,
I'm trying to pause a sound so that when it starts again it starts at the point it was paused and not at the start again, I was using the code from the tutorial on this site:

but it keeps starting from the start when I unpause it.

Any other suggestions or maybe why this isn't working, I used the exact same code..litterly I copied it from the web page!!

Anyone know how to pause using actionscript? This needs to happen with no user input. For instance I might want an attached movie to play, then wait 40 frames before going to the next frame of the root movie.

Help With Pausing Sound
I have a bit of a problem which you guys might be able to help with

I am trying to have an interface that when you play the narration you have the ability to pause it. I have set up the script to initialize the sound in the first frame along with a script I found on a tutorial which counts the number of seconds from the time you start the sound..then when you hit play again it puts that value in the offset field of the mySound.play() line of code.

An example is
FRAME 1
mySound3 = new Sound();
mySound3.attachSound("tradeLync");
// play myMuzak
i = 1;
function timeme () {
now = new Date();
var hours = now.getHours();
var minutes = now.getMinutes();
var seconds = now.getSeconds();
_root["nowtime"+i] = (Number(hours)*3600)+(Number(minutes)*60)+seconds;
_root.newstarttime = _root["nowtime"+i]-_root.nowtime1;
i++;
}
mySound3.start
timeme();

STOP BUTTON
on (release) {
stop ();
mySound3.stop();
timeme();
}

PLAY BUTTON
on (release) {
play ();
mySound3.start(_root.newstarttime);
}

I have added the lines stop(); and play(); because I want the animation accompanying the sound to stop as well.

Anyone have some advice as to what I might have done wrong. Right now the sound pauses fine the FIRST time but when you hit pause and play again it plays from the point where you paused it from the first time every other time.

If this script is totally off base perhaps someone could suggest an alternate method.

Thanks in advance.

Frame Pausing
I have 100 graphics that I need to create in a type of slide show with each graphic waiting about 1 or 3 secs before the next one comes up.

I go the graphics in by importing the first one and letting flash import the rest so that they are on the time line sequentially, 1 in each frame. But I don't want to have to stretch each sprite as that will take forever.

Is there an action script that will allow me to pause each frame for a determined amount of time then go to the next frame? Is there a better way?

Thanks

Pausing And Sound
I've added control buttons to a flash presentation. Pause, Play, Fast Forward and Rewind. The Fast Forward and Rewind take you to either the next scene or the previous scene. The Pause button stops the presentation at its current location, and the play button resumes play from the spot it was paused. The problem I'm having is that there is speech in the presentation as well. I can make the audio stop when the presentation is paused. But is there a way, that when the play button is pressed, it picks up the audio track where it left off?

Thanks.
