Flash :: Stop Action Doesn't Work, My Animation Keeps Looping

Stop Action Doesn't Work
I have a simple website with five pages set up. There is no code other than the code on the first frame, plus a stop action on each section. The first thing in the code is the stop action, but it still keeps running through all the frames when I test it, and a movie clip set up in a similar way does the same thing. What could be causing this? I tried taking all the code out of frame 1 except the stop action but it didn't make any difference. I am starting to work with actionscript 3.

thanks

Attach Code

stop();

//LINKS FOR MAIN BUTTONS - ACTIONSCRIPT 3 CODE
//home button
//make new function called home which sends to home page
function goHome(e:Event)
{
gotoAndStop("HOME")
}
//make listener for home button,
//tells it to use goHome function on mouse click
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);

//group button, name of button is btnGroup,
//name of page is "GROUP", name of function is goGroup
function goGroup(e:Event)
{
gotoAndStop("GROUP")
}
btnGroup.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goGroup);

//reviews button
function goReviews(e:Event)
{
gotoAndStop("REVIEWS")
}
btnReviews.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goReviews);

//clientlist button
function goClientlist(e:Event)
{
gotoAndStop("CLIENTLIST")
}
btnClientList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goClientlist);

//listen button
function goListen(e:Event)
{
gotoAndStop("LISTEN")
}
btnListen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goListen);

//END LINKS FOR MAIN BUTTONS

[F8] Help My Flash Page Doesn't Stop Looping.
http://www.abccreativegroup.com/optimized/main.html

This is a website I am working on right now, and for some reason, it keeps looping!

There is a main page, and each link loads a new .swf onto a blank movie clip. I have the stop(); action at the end, but after I click on a few links, it keeps looping for some odd reason.

I need help pronto, since our client needs to loop at this asap, and I don't want to send it to him like it is!!

Why Is It Looping, Only Once, And I Have A Stop Action In It.
Helllooooooo it's been forever since I posted.

I am having one heck of a time here.

I have a main timeline with 25 frames, with a stop action on the last frame.

On this timeline I have a movie clip which is 15 frames long.
This movie clip contains a tween, and also contains a stop action in its last frame.

WHen I play my movie, the movie clip loops ONCE, then stops.
It is looping back to frame one of the movie clip (i did a test and found this out.)

Sooo i created a new flash movie and did the same thing, and that one is working fine.

What on earth can be going on here?? Thanks for any help!

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

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!

Looping Doesn't Work Anymore
Hi please give me your thought's if possible i'm stuck at the moment.

I have made a scrollbar, "a year ago", which automaticly creates it'self (with duplicateMovie etc) after reading the number of thumbnail/buttons from a config.txt which i call with loadVarsText.

---eplaination---

In the root it reads in the number of thumbnail/buttons with a loadVarsText command.

Code:
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("tekst/content.txt");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function (){
_root.aantal_showroom_keukens = this.aantal_showroom_keukens;
};
Then the scroller takes the number of thumbnail/buttons

Code:
this.scroll_thumbs.thumbs.buttons = [];
this.scroll_thumbs.thumbs.buttons.length=_root.aantal_showroom_keukens ;
After that the scroller generates the thumbnail/buttons
( I created 1 which call's it's button functions from the _root and it duplicates / the thing i'm stuck with is to let the button know which number he is, so he can load the good number of swf)

The script below is the script for creating/looping the thumbnails, but for somereason the last line gives: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
Code:
thumb1_._visible = false;
for (i = 1; i <= buttons.length - 1; i++){
duplicateMovieClip("thumb1_", "thumb1_" + i, i);
eval("thumb1_" + i)._y = thumb1_._y + i * 40;
nummer = i;
loadMovie("small/small00" + nummer + ".jpg", "thumb1_" + i + ".holder_th");
eval("_root.thumbs.scroll_thumbs.thumb1_" + i + ".targ") = i;
}
This last line was working before, I think I mistakenly typed something which I oversee everytime.

I need the last line to parse the number "i" of the thumbnail button to the root.
So I can use that "i" number to load some swf when pushing the button.
At this moment I'm not getting any further...
I'm sure it's something stupid i'm doing :-)

Cheers if you someone help.

Forcing Animation To Stop Looping?
I recently put up a movie on newgrounds.com and it loops because you are unable to put in any HTML code. On my personal website it doesn't loop and theres a "Replay?" button at the end. How can I force it to loop within the SWF without having to rely on HTML?

Stop Looping And Add Replay Button To An Animation
Ok this is my first real flash project.

I'm required to create a banner advertising a computer company. It has to be 10 seconds long. I'm doing fine with most of the project, BUT...

What I really wanna do is have the animation stop on the final frame, instead of loop. This may be easy but I cannot work out how to do it.

The second thing I'd love to get sorted is to create some sorta button or graphic that when clicked on, would replay the animation. I could be more to the point and just ask about how to create a replay button.

Can anyone sort me out?

I should maybe have posted this in the newbies forum, sorry

AS3 Stop(); Doesn't Work
Hey, I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly. The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either. Help!

Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3. Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Help Stop() Doesn't Work
I have been working in flash for years and this has never happened to me before. I am creating a calendar with a labeled area for each calendar, plus a labeled area for each month to load an external intro movie for the month.

There are just basic stop actions in the labeled areas and I cannot figure out why it wouldn't be working. Is there some bug in Flash 8 that I haven't been able to discover?

Stop(); In First Frame Doesn't Work. Why?
Hi!

I sometimes run in to this weird problem where my stop(); frame doesn't actually stop. I have a movieclip named NestingMc which I bring to the stage via actionscript. Inside my NestingMc I have a movieclip ChildMc. ChildMc has a timeline on it's own and on the first keyframe of that timeline I have written a simple stop(); command. But my ChildMc doesn't actually stop in the first frame it just plays to the next keyframe that has a stop(); command.

Anyone?

Button Animation Doesn't Work ?
Hello.
I made a button object with sound and animation on the over state. I then place that generic button in seperate movie clips, each with their own text, such as news, contact, etc.
For some reason when I place an instance of say the news button movie clip, attach an on release event like load movie, the animation and sound do not work. Any ideas. Remember, it is not a button, but a movie clip. I tried changing it to track as a button in the properties panel and the sound and animation works, but the actionscript does not work. Help please

Action On A Moving Button Doesn't Work?
Hello!

My On(release)-problem seems to lead my to another problem: I have a button, which is inside a movie-clip which is putted on the stage by an action-script. I tried several On-Events (release, press, rollOver) and it's always the same effect:

- When the movie (in which the button is) doesn't move the button, everything works fine. Every event is triggered like it should be.

- When the movies moves the button, the event is only triggered in (about) one of 10 or 20 times. The buttones changes the color like it should, but the rollover-event for example is not triggered. Why?

Is the .fla-File would help I could send it to you.

Animation Doesn't Work In Slide Presentation

Any ideas how I can get round this?
I want to set it up so that a slide's animation plays every time you view the slide, regardless if you've viewed it before.

Any suggestions most welcome.

[F8] Stop Animation, But Still Have Buttons Work?
I need to know how to stop the animation on my web page from looping, but not have the stop command affect the ability to use the buttons.

The web page:
http://www.dreamsthunder.com/hotlink/index.htm

The stop command hits after the flower-links finish blooming, but the same stop command also nullifies the ability to click on the flowers. While some of the stuff is running from movie clips, the animation on the flowers and title are in the main movie, and it would be too complicated and out of the question to make them all into movie clips... I'm hoping (and kind of assuming) there's an easier way to go about this?

How Do You Stop Flash Animation & Allow Menu Buttons To Work
A site I'm designing in Flash 8 opens with a Flash animation which is followed by a three-button menu. I tried actionscripting "stop ();" on the last frame of the animation and put an instance of a button on the same frame (different layer) with this code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(280);
}

as I want the button to trigger a small animation of its own beginning in the next frame. However, I get this error message:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Work button, frame=279:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

I don't understand this because the button is an instance I pulled in from the library which I want triggered by a click of the mouse.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks!

Multiple Movie Clips Keep Looping On Main Stage When I Have A "Stop" Action In MC?
I've created a movie clip that has eight frames with a "stop" via actionscript in the last frame. In my main movie I have placed 11 instances to come in one "after" the other by varying each instance to it's own layer (11 layers) and placing each instance in the appropriate frame.
Example: instance one in frame one - layer one, instance two on layer two - frame two, instance three on layer three - frame three.

Problem: When I publish the file and open up the .swf the first instance comes in and stops. All the other instances come in but they all keep looping except the first instance in layer one frame one. When I move all the instances into frame one at the beginning of their layers the published swf file plays all instances at once and then stops just like I want.

Question: Why is it that the instances keep looping in different frames and not when they are in the first frame of their prospective layers? I want the instances to start one after the other and not all at once and then I want them to stop. I placed a "stop" action at the end of the MC?

All instances have not had any of their properties altered and are movie clips on the main scene. There is no added actionscripts anywhere else. I have attached the fla file which is really small of what I am trying to accomplish. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Simple "nextFrame" Action Doesn't Work HELP
I have a very disturbing problem:

I have a button in one layer.
I have a MC instance in another layer named "Start1".
The button have a simple action:
---------------------------------
on (release) {
_root.start1.nextFrame();
}
---------------------------------
From some reason - this action doesn't work.
* The MC have more then one instance on the stage, each on different layer, and each with different name.

I tried activating the same action from the button, on a new MC I have made that looks the same - it works. What can be the problem with this simple MC (4 frames, stop on each frame, the action should make it go to nextFrame on each release of the button) ??!

anyway, I really like the 'orb' effect in this tutorial, but i'd like to keep with the jones' and stick with cs3.

Typing out the code directly into an as3 flash movie doesn't seem to work, it keeps saying 'AS3 needs an addEventListener'

Now i've been all over the net for the past hour trying to figure out how to re-write this code, but the only thing I can figure out is that I would have to re-write the functions somehow.

Stop Actionscript Function At A Specific Frame (stop Looping)
I want to stop an effect at a specific frame but I dunno how.
Do I have to put something in the code?
I'm confused.
Or just tell me how to stop it from looping.
Edit:
Is it possible to attach this to a movie clip? Then i can stop it or use onEnterFrame and then escape();
I actually have no idea what I am talking about. /Edit

Here is one of the code I borrowed:

MovieClip.prototype.placeInSpace = function(id) {
var ratio = this.focaldistance / Math.sqrt(this[id].z * this[id].z);
this[id]._x = this[id].x * ratio;
this[id]._y = this[id].y * ratio;
this[id]._xscale = this[id]._yscale = 1000 / this[id].z;
}
MovieClip.prototype.randomPlace = function(id) {
var radius = this.rmin + (this.rmax - this.rmin) * Math.random();
var polar = 2 * Math.PI * Math.random();
this[id].x = radius * Math.cos(polar);
this[id].y = radius * Math.sin(polar);
this[id].z = this.zmin + (this.zmax - this.zmin) * Math.random();
}

Here's the other code cause I can use two in my movie:
function mover() {
// Move the particle over time
this._y += this.speed;
this._yscale += 10;
this.speed++;
if (this._y>500) {
this._y = 0;
this.speed = Math.random()*10;
this._yscale = 100;
}
}
function starField(x, y, n) {
// Generate a starfield of specified dimensions with n stars
for (var i = 0; i<n; i++) {
var star = this.createEmptyMovieClip("star"+i, i);
var dot = star.createEmptyMovieClip("dot", 0);
star._rotation = Math.random()*360;
star._x = x;
star._y = y;
dot.lineStyle(0, 0xFFFFFF, 100);
dot.moveTo(0, 10);
dot.lineTo(0, 15);
dot.onEnterFrame = mover;
dot.speed = Math.random()*10;
}
}
starField(275, 200, 100);

Looping Sound And Looping Animation Sync
I'm working on a navagation interface for a new site, and I'm running into a few issues.

1) when you click on a button, it activiates an MC. within that MC, the first frame is the initial "off" state, and clicking on a button triggers the rest of the clip to play, from frame 2. I have a sound that starts in frame 2, and I set up an animation of a VU meter that is supposed to be synced very closely to the music. In the last frame of the MC is an action, gotoandplay, that sends it back to frame 2. The idea here is that once the button is pressed, the music loops and the animation loops with it.

When I test the movie, do a publish preview, or view the swf file in the flash player, the animation seems to be synced to the music for the first few times it loops, but then the animation drifts ahead of the music, getting progressively further out of sync with each loop. The other real problem here, is that when viewing the swf in any web browser, the animation is immediately behind the music, and seems to be running much slower than it should.

you can see the swf here:

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get this to work the way I am trying to get it to?

the .fla file is here if you want to look at it as well:

2) The other problem I'm having is that the stage is set to be 680 pixels wide, and the graphic that fills the background is 680 pixels wide, BUT Flash MX publishes the movie at only 679 pixels wide! You can see the line of white pixels on the right side of the movie here:

http://www.lsrdigital.com/flash/index.html

I've double checked the html file and the table cell holding the movie element is 680 pixels wide. You can also tell that Flash is cutting off the last column of pixels because the background image is visibly just missing the edge to the right of the screws.

Any ideas on that one?

How Can I Stop Flash From Looping And Stop On The Last Frame
I am having a problem with looping. I created a flash file and published it. I only want it to play through once and stop on the last frame. I can't get it to stop, it keeps looping through and playing the movie.

I have tried to add a layer that has some script in it with a start and a last tag on frame 1 and frame 310 there is 315 frames total.

the action script was
<code>
// this was in the first frame
ifFrameLoaded ("last") {
gotoAndPlay("start");
}

//this was in the second frame
gotoAndPlay(1);

//this was in the last frame 315
stop ();
</code>

your help is greatly appreciated.

Drop Menu : Rollovers/GetURL In A Movie Don't Work...and The SWF Doesn't Work In FF
My links/rollovers don't work in Mozilla and the dropdown menu part don't work (the rollovers and the getURLs) in any browser.

What's wrong with this??? I think it's something simple.
I've already tried:

Code:
this._lockroot = true;
I also tried writing the AS as:

Code:
one.title.text = "The Text";
one.onRollOver = over;
one.onRollOut = out;
function over () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function out () {
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
one.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.thelink.com");
}
...didn't work...

I hope someone can help!

(Lately I've gotten no help off this site and it's been very depressing because this site people used to be very helpful...I hope someone can change my mind)

This._lockroot Doesn't Work (combobox Components Won't Work)
I have a preloader (preloader.swf) which loads a form (offerte.swf).

I've put the this._lockroot on the "application" timeline on the first frame of the "Flash form application" (offerte.swf).
But the combobox components still won't work.

I had it working before, but suddenly it seemed to stop! Now I can't get it get to work again.
