Flash :: START/STOP TIMELINE OF LOADED .SWF

Scritping Button To Stop & Start MC Timeline
I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what to do in my situation.
I am a main timeline, with a movie clip that I want to loop infinitly, until a button is clicked, once the button is clicked I want it to stop the movie clip timeline, once the button is clicked again I want it to start the movie clip timeline again.

I am not the greatest actionscripter, I understand it I just have a bit of trouble writing the syntax myself.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Start And Stop Main Timeline From Movie Clip Symbol
Hi All,

I have a main movie where I have 4 different movie symbols in 4 differnet frames.

I want to stop the main timeline > play the first symbol movie > at the end of the first clip, start the main timeline again and play the next movie clip.

I tried putting "root.play();" at the end of the symbol movie clips, but it does not seem to affect the main timeline.

[F8] Stop & Start For Run-time Loaded Swf
How do we set up a stop and start for a run-time loaded SWF. The simple stop and start buttons we put into the loaded file don't work. Is there a way to target the loaded SWF? Any other way?

Thanks!

Stop And Start Movies Loaded Into Container.swf
Hey all -

I've got a fairly long movie with one "core.swf" with a frame and stop and start buttons. I have 5 external swfs that load into an empty mc with instance name "box_mc" in "core.swf".

These external swfs have a whole bunch o mcs within (obviously)

But I'm being rather dense here because I can't get the stop and start buttons to stop the whole movie (everything that needs to stop is in the external swfs)

Ive targeted it as such

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
_root.box_mc.stop();
}

this is not working - any one have some ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Andy

Start/Stop Externally Loaded Sound
Can anyone help me with this on/off music button. I want to load the music externally and have it start automatically but use the stop and start button to control the sound. Here is the .fla and if you need it the music also, the file was too big to upload here.

Stop Music File Loaded In The Timeline
Hi all,

I have an MP3 file loaded in the main Timeline at frame 1 and it loops (background music loop). And I have a simple button to shut down the entire site sounds
Code:

stop();

off_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMusic);

function stopMusic(e:Event) {
SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0, 0);
gotoAndStop("off");
}
Once clicked, it goes to the "off" frame and there I have this code to pump up the volume again.
Code:

stop();

on_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMusic);

function playMusic(e:Event) {
SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(1, 0);
gotoAndStop("on");
}

Now, the problem is that I have a film page where the users can view some films. And when a user click on a film, I'd like the background music to shut down. But if I use the code above it'll stop all the sound, even the film soundtrack. So, is there a code I can use to shut down only the MP3 file loaded in the main Timeline?

Thanks!

How Do U Start & Stop MC On Frame 3 On The Timeline & Proceed Onto Frame 4 W/ New MC
1.What I'm doing is setting up a "Cell Phone Slide Show" to load images and .AVI’s (Movie Clips) into the phone screen strictly when the user presses the cell phone button. So, when the user presses the cell phone buttons (“OK”, #1, #2, #3, “CLR”, etc.., an image or MC loads into the cell phone screen.

2.My Time Line consists of 5 Layers: actions, cell phone buttons, cell phone screens items, cell phone, cell phone description

3.“action” Layer uses: stop(); from Frame 1 to Frame 5 – to stop at the last frame 5.

“cell phone buttons” Layer uses: on (release) {nextFrame(); } from Frame 1 to Frame 5 – to proceed to the next frame.

”cell phone description” – from Frame 1 to 5 - loads a new cell phone text description on each frame.

”cell phone” - from Frame 1 to 5 – just a background image of the cell phone.

“cell phone screen items”: I am loading images and Movie Clips on this Layer. For example, Frame 1: Image, Frame 2: Movie Clip (the movie needs to start and stop to go into frame 3). Frame 3: Another Movie Clip (the movie needs to start and stop to go into frame 4).
Frame 4: an image with movie clip label. Frame 6: Another Movie Clip (the movie needs to start and stop to go into frame 7).
Frame 8: an image with movie clip label. Etc…… This will proceed to 30 frames.

I am trying to start and stop these movies on specific frames by adding action within that frame on it’s own separate Time Line:
This Movie Clip time line consists of 70 frames. The Movie Clip is called: “tud_vid1”. I put a Label on frame 1 called: “Start” and put a label on frame 70 called: “stop”

My code for this Movie Clip Time Line is:

_root.tud_vid1.gotoAndPlay(start);
_root.tud_vid1.gotoAndStop(stop);

4.The problem I’m having is instead of the Movie Clip on Frame 3, for example, Starting and Stopping when the user clicks on the cell phone button, and going onto Frame 4 to play the next Movie Clip (with Start and Stop Action) ; the Movie Clip on Frame 3, “Keeps on Looping” and doesn’t move onto Frame 4.

5.How would I set up this “Cell Phone SlideShow” to Start and Stop my .AVI’s on each frame and move onto the next frame and play the next movie from beginning to end or play the next image.

6.I attached a screen shot of my main time line: CellPhone_Timeline1.jpg

7.I attached a screen shot of the separate Movie Clip time line on frame 3: CellPhone_MC_Timeline1

Start And Stop Streaming Sounds (start Stopping Currently Playing)
Hi there

I am novice user of flash and have no real AS experience.

What I want to do is..

I have 18 songs from an album and have taken 30 sec from each and down sampled them ready for flash.

I want to be able preview them all from one flash file.
I will be streaming the songs in, so the initial download time is minimal.

With 18 start stop buttons for each one, but because customers are lazy, they are likely just going to click the next play button for the next preview, so I need the play buttons to stop 'this' preview before playing the next with stop control also being a stop control for those who have had enough or are well behaved browsers : )

I hope this makes sense and look forward to hearing from someone.

Cheers

How To Stop And Start Sound
I have a flash file which has a movie clip that contains sound. The instance name of which is 'soundMovie'. I have placed the movie clip on the stage. NOw when I run the file I can hear the sound. THe problem is with the following script that I have placed on the first frame of the main movie timeline (NOT THE MOVIE CLIP CONTAINING THE MUSIC). i.e when the following script is attached to the first frame, the music stops. my question is why doesnt the music start if I have written soundobj.start(). If I remove the live soundobj.start it runs fine. any help would be highly appreciated !!!!

soundobj = new Sound(_root.soundMovie);
soundobj.stop();
soundobj.start();

Sound: Start-Stop
I have a movie that you can start and stop at different points on the timeline (whenever you press play or stop). I would like to add a narrative sound track that will start and stop at the same time as I start and stop the movie, without the sound going back to the beginning.

Does anyone know how to achieve this or know of a link to a tutorial which explains how to do this?

Thanking you!

Stop/Start External SWF's
I'm using this code to load an external SWF:

{this.contents.loadMovie("disturbed411.swf");
stop();
}

I actually have several buttons with very similar code that load an external SWF to the same location.

I need to create a button so that it will stop/start the external SWF from playing at the users discretion.

How do I do this?

If it makes any difference, the main movie is stopped when the external SWF is loaded.

Stop/Start External SWF's
I'm loading a number of external SWF's into an empty MC called "contents" into another MC (called "disturbed" or "troy" in the two examples below). These MC's sit in an MC called "potfolio" that sits on my main timeline.

I get the external MC's to load fine. Within the "disturbed" and "troy" MC's I have two buttons that should stop or start the external MC at whatever point the movie has played to.

For the "start" button I am using this code:

on (release) {
_root.portfolio.disturbed.contents.play();
}

for the "Stop" button I am using this code:

on (release) {
_root.portfolio.disturbed.contents.stop();
}

This works perfect. However, when I apply the same code to the troy MC (simply changing the word "disturbed" to "troy") here is what happens. The "Stop" button has no effect at all. The "Start" button takes the external MC back to the preloader, but will not go beyond that. Both the disturbed and troy MC's have the same preloader (with different art) so that's not what's affecting it.

I've searched the MC's and the FLA for about 2 hours and can't seem to find any difference.

What obvious thing am I missing?

Thanks

Button To Start MC....end Of 2nd MC To Stop
My goal is to stop on MC from another...

On my main timeline I have an MC with the instance name of "spectrum". On the first frame of this MC, labeled "stop" there is a stop action., the second frame is labeled "start".

Also on the main timeline is a button with this code:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("acdc");
spectrum.gotoAndPlay("start");
}

This takes the playhead to the frame labeled "acdc" and plays the "spectrum" MC by taking it to the frame labeled "start".

At the acdc frame, is another MC that plays an audio clip that is embedded in a MC with the instance name of "acdcmc"

My goal is at the end of this audio clip, I want the "spectrum" mc to stop.

I have tired this code:

stop();
spectrum.gotoAndPlay("stop");

as well as:

stop();
root.spectrum.gotoAndPlay("stop");

yet neither seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks

Start One Sound, Stop Another

_root.soundb.onRelease = function(){
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("soundb.mp3", true);

_root.soundc.onRelease = function(){
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("soundc.mp3", true);
}

Each button works perfect EXCEPT, when one button is clicked, I want the previous sound if any, to stop before the new clip starts. How do I modify my code to make that happen?

Start And Stop Timer
okay so this is a multi part question

I'm making my first game, using I suppose you could call it a zelda like navigation engine.. so I have this character walking around
using the arrow keys, press up goes up, press up and left, you go diagonaly up and left.. etc... and the screen follows the character around

so the concept of this game is I would have a large map where the player has a starting point, and must find a coin (i'd like there to be more than one but I think one would be a good place to start)

This coin would randomly generate in one of many desegnated spots on the map.

I need a timer to start as soon as one or more arrow keys are pressed
and then to stop and go to an end sequence once the coin(s) have been collected

anyone up for the challenge up helping this scripting newb?

How Do I Start/Stop Loadmovie

My question is:

I want to do another loadmovie command that loads a pause/play button on top of the 1st loaded movie that also controls this loaded movie. Any ideas how a button action can effect the play controls of a loaded movie?

Movieclips Start And Stop
Hello,

That could be the most stupid question in history but I'm completely stuck (I didn't use flash for almost three years).

I have a flash animation which has 10 animated movieclips. I need to play each one of them, one after the other.

What I thought was to script the begining and the end of each movieclip (stop at the beginning, movieclip.gotoAndPlay(1) at the end).

I tried many things, but the second movieclip never starts.

Could somebody help me

Thank you so much !

Hi,

I am using this great code made by Kenneth Andersson.

I have been trying to add a stop start button.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Code:
//First we need a dynamic textfield with instance name "theText", check.
//Then we set the total number of minutes. I picked 64 to reduce the
//result-view-waiting-time. 119 would just be... boring.
total = 45;
//Calculate the var total and update the textfield.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
minutes = Math.floor(total/60);
seconds = total%60;
theText.text = "0"+minutes+":"+seconds;
if (seconds<=9) {
theText.text = "0"+minutes+":"+"0"+seconds;
}
};
//Function for the countdown, can be changed to total++ if you want to
//count "into the future" or something. Well I dunno.
//clearInterval = When minutes and seconds is 00:00 it stops.
counter = function () {
total--;
if (minutes == 0 & seconds == 1) {
clearInterval(setIt);
}
if (total == 30) {
warning.text="Warning, times almost up!";
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
}
if (total == 00) {
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1)
}
};
//Then we start an interval with the counter function, 1000 is milliseconds á 1 sec.
setIt = setInterval(this, "counter", 1000);
stop();
