Flash :: Urgent: I Need PLAY , PAUSE And STOP Button

Stop.Pause.Play....?
I have an online seminar that has time animation to audio.

I want to make a contol panel that allows the user to pause the entire swf if there phone rings or something. Currently you can't stop it at all... and if I ad a Stop button, then I can only direct the user to the begining again...

I have tried loading the full swf in a MC, but don't seem to have the right scripts to make it work....

Sample here:

http://www.pflyz.com/flashhelp/seminar_ha2_PPT19.swf

If you brave thru all the audio... you can see the next/back arrows load at the bottom right, they simply jump users from scene to scene, i only have one scene on this sample so the nav menus wont work.

Anyway, if someone can tell me how to control that main swf that would be great!

Play / Pause & Stop Help
hey, i have just watched the video tutorials, and realised there is only a replay and play/pause button.

i was wondering how to:
1) Make a Play / Pause button, so when its playing and i click it the PLAY symbol turns into a PAUSE symbol and pauses the video, then when i click it again it starts playing again and the PAUSE symbol turns back into a PLAY symbol? (like the one on gotoandlearn site)

2) Make a stop button? i am using ns. and there is no stop action? i really need one that takes the video back to the start and stops it.

please help, cause im stuck!

thx =D phatmat.

Pause/Stop/Play Controls
HI all,
I'm trying to program nav controls for a flash presentation I am working on. Pause button is supposed to freeze the frame very much the same way a vcr would pause a tape. Play should "unfreeze" the presentation and stop should "turn it off" (may be take them to a frame of "black"). Please help!!! I am under a deadline and my brain is fried.
Thanks,
Inna

Simple PLAY/PAUSE/STOP For MP3
I am using Flash MX 2004 Professional and I'm new to flash.

All that I'm trying to accomplish is the following...

1. Make a swf that will play an MP3 file.
2. Don't care if it's embedded or external.
3. Preload? Not sure if it's needed, but I
am trying to keep myself open to it.
4. All that I want to see in the html are
the three buttons [PLAY, PAUSE, STOP]
5. Ideally, if the PLAY button displayed
some type of animation while it was
active, that would be great.

The code I'm using is attached.

It works when I test it. But then it won't work in IE at all (no mouse overs, no behaviors).

My sincre thanks to anyone who can settle this dilemma.

Stop Play Pause Buttons
Hi I want to change look of my stop play pause buttons.
I have tree instances of one mc with shadow.

If I clik on play
mcPlay.shadow._visible = 0
and that's ok.

If I click on pause I need to check which buttons was previously clicked.
I can set _visible to 1 for every others buttons but this is not elegeant way.
That can be very hard to accomplish if I have 20 buttons.
Can you give me some hint?
Is "Listeners" useful for that?

How-to Pause, Stop, And Play External Timeline
Hi FlashKit'ers. My scenario:
I have a button that loads an external .swf into an empty MC. I need to be able to pause, play, and stop the external .swf's timeline using the pause, play, stop button located on the mainstage where the empty MC is also located.
Now, i know how to do all of the functions if the timeline i want to pause, play, and stop is the mainstage's timeline, but i have no idea how to do all of those functions if the timeline i want to pause is an external timeline. I'm sure there is a very simple answer to this problem, and any ideas or answers would make me one very happy camper.
take care.

Timeline Control - Play, Stop, Pause, Etc.
Is there any where I can find a tut on how to build a timeline controller that has play, stop, pause, etc buttons.

Something along the lines of http://www.macromedia.com/resources/...apps/overview/

or

http://www.macromedia.com/software/breeze/overview/

Does Macromedia Flash MX 2004 or Breeze have these components built in. Any help would be great.

Coding Stop/play/pause Buttons
Dunno why the pause concept is giving me such a hard time. I know I need a variable to hold sound.position but any help would be appreciated.

Sound object is "narration" and resides on the main timeline. Buttons are in a dynamically loaded mc (not that this makes any difference).

I have 2 separate "Back" and "Forward" buttons that, on release, load a new topic and thus load a new mp3 into the sound object. Problem I'm having is that my "marker" variable which gets set to a narration.position on release of the pause button is doing its job too well. When the next mp3 is loaded, hitting play begins the new mp3 at the previously paused position. Can't seem to clear out "marker" to save my life.

Thanks in advance...

Pause, Stop And Play Audio Actionscript
im trying to make a play, pause and stop btns controlling a mp3 file which is in the library which has a linkage id of Speakers
ive manage to get the pause and play to work but now incorperating a stop button isnt working for me

Code:

var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.attachSound("Speakers");
btnHalt.onRelease = function() {
snd.stop();
}
btnResume.onRelease = function() {
snd.start(snd.position / 1000);
}
restartbtn.onRelease = function() {
snd.start();
}
ive also looked into the O'Reilly one to http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/java...p1/index1.html

but i still dont think even that will help me i think i need some kinda if statement?

to say basicly if you have pressed the pause btn, then the play btn, play from state pause at, but if you have pressed the stop btn then pressed the play btn, play from start and also if the play btn has been pressed and the audio is playing if pressed again dont play again do nothing.

How To Make Play/pause And Stop Buttons?
hi, would someone please be able to post the actionscript for these three buttons? i would very much appreciate it :)

i was wonderin if there was a way to make a pause button, with ns. but one that when you press it then press it again it wont start. so that no matter how many times you press it the movie will stay paused (now like ns.pause when you click it pauses and when you click it again it starts, i ned a dedicated pause button)

and how to make a play button? so that when its paused, the only thing to start it again is pressing the play button and that when itsplaying you can freely press the play button and nothing will happen? (again, ns.pause doen't work on the play button since if we have it there the play button is now able to pause the video)

also, how do i make a stop button? so i click it and it takes me to the start of the video and stops it from playing?

thx. phatmat.

Contolling (Play,Pause,Stop) A Streaming Video
Hi,

I have a graphic with 3 buttons on (Play, Pause, Stop). Within this graphic, I have placed a 'Flash Video File' (imported this) which streams when hosted on a webpage.

I want to be able to control this video with the 3 buttons. At first, I embedded the video (not streamed) and controlled the video with movie clip actionscript on the buttons. This does not work with the streaming video.

If anyone can help, this would be much appreciated.

Kindest Regards,

Rob McCarthy

Trully Advanced Play Pause Stop Controls Question
Hey there!

Have an issue.
I'm working on a technical animation. Info about it:
There are about 30 mc on my movie, distributed into their own layers.
Three mc of them control the rest ones (including themselves), using several pointers and variables.
The main timeline (_root) has just 1 single frame.
The AS logic (in a ludic way, no sintax needed to show it):
if _global.varX (varX is redefined thru mcs) == value1
{
_root.mc4.gotoandplay(1)
_root.mc5.gotoandstop(45)
_root.mc9.gotoandplay(45)
}
if _global.varX (varX is redefined thru mcs) == value2
{
_root.mc4.gotoandstop(45)
_root.mc3.gotoandplay(45)
_root.mc10.gotoandplay(1)
}
Just to position you, reader: in almost all mcs, from frame 1 to 45 means open the related valve or closure, and 45 to 60 means closing the related valve or closure.

Those to say that the transitions of the movie is provided by a scope of variables and pointers, and it get on loop as this scope reaches a certain level, ie, no timeline involved.

And here's the issue. I didn't get how to control de movie play pause stop using play() or stop(), or gotoandstop(), or gotandplay(). I've tried hard, getting vars values, passing new values, tons of tries. It losts its params, and the move get malfuncion, lost its logic.

Any ideas?? There is an answer whuch I don't know, because when testing the movie (Control -> Test movie) esc and enter buttons works perfectly. Fscommand could be used?

Well ppl, I don't know what to do, and I do need a solution. Or a flash of light that clarifies some way to try another solution.

Thank u all!

How Can I Make My Video Control Bar(play, Stop, Pause Etc.) Fade?
I have a .swf video clip of my demo reel on my portfolio website. I'd like the control bar to fade shortly after you move your cursor off of the movie clip, so that it doesn't distract viewers.

You can check the URL below to see. I'm using one of the default Flash player skins.

Doing A Flash Presentation With Audio And Would Like Tips On Pause-play-stop Buttons
yeah im doing a project for Nokia and it requires about 3 mins of spoken audio in it..

anyhow its quite straight forward..some bar graphs..text and speak.
But i havent really done a project like this before exactly so i basically need it to work so that you are able to stop or pause the speak at any given moment..then be able to play(continue from where you stopped and left off) and be able to skip back or fwd thru-out the speak.

I think i will split up the 3 mins of speak into several smaller bits instead of having 1 great long wav on timeline..might be best????

But does anyone have any good tutorials..or open FLAS for me to see how this could best be done..

Id be very greatful!!

Cheers!

I mean, when i play movie, the pause button should be active and when I pause movie, play button should be active. And one more thing, I need mouseOver effect for the button!!

HOW TO DO?

Pause And Play Button

I wonder how I do a pause button.
I guess pause is the same action as stop but I want the button to change.
I have done a button for pause. When pressed, I want it to change to a play button. So when they press the button it starts to play again.
How do I do that?

Thanks for fast answer

Play/pause Button
Hey everybody!

I am trying to make a simple pause/play button.

Thanx

Pause/Play Button
I've searched everywhere and I can't find a solution to my problem, so if you do find a relevant post, I'm really sorry.

So here's my problem: I want to get rid of the quicktime plugin for my audio file on my website and integrate it into my flash menu. All I want is a pause/play button that changes, just like the quicktime plugin.

I have found tutorials that teach me how to pause/stop. I have learned to make two buttons within a movie clip.

I have also found tutorials that teach me how to pause a sound file using a variable and having it pick back up at same spot where it left off.

However, I cannot combine these two in anyway, because the pause/stop tutorial uses the stop() function and that seems to be stopping the entire movie, including the sound.

This is what I have so far, inside the movie clip, for the buttons:
-----------------------------------------
Frame 1
myMusic = new Sound(myMusicMc);
myMusic.attachSound("myMusic01");
myMusicVolume=100;
myMusic.setVolume(myMusicVolume);
myMusic.start(0,999);
playing=true;
--------------------------------------
Frame 2
stop();
-----------------------------------
Frame 2 Button
on (release) {
myMusicPosition=_root.myMusic.position/1000;
myMusic.stop("myMusic01");
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
-----------------------------------
Frame 3
stop();
---------------------------------
Frame 3 Button
on (release) {
myMusic.start(myMusicPosition,999);
gotoandplay(2);
}
-----------------------------------

Is there ANYWAY I can make the movie stop without having the sound stop?? Please let me know! Thanks!

Ok, I know that there are probably 3 million of these threads, but I have questions a plenty. You see, I am trying to make a music quiz and I need a play and a pause button. I have no clue where to start.

Also, in flash MX, as far as I know, you can't type your own actionscript. So if I find help, I can't copy and paste the actionscript right into my flash. I could use some help here. Thanks!

Play And Pause In One Button.
Hi all
I am looking for a way to incorporate both play and pause functions into one button… to control a sound file. Does anyone have any simple code to do this? On the first press the button should play the sound file and on the second press it should pause, and so on. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Hugo.

Play/Pause Button?
Hi,

I'm trying to create a play/pause button. In it's 'up' state, the button displays a play icon (triangle) and once it's clicked I want the icon to change to a pause icon (two vertical lines). Creating the button using a normal button symbol won't work because once the user has clicked the button the button should stay changed to the pause button until it's clicked again. (Using a button symbol would mean that on mouseDown, the pause button would be displayed but would then revert back to the play button on mouseUp).

Does anyone know how to get the button to change and stay changed once it's clicked?

Cheers in advance.

Play/Pause Button
I have created my buttons, but cant seem to get them to work for my flash "presentation". I have about 19 movie clips, each on their own layers and keyframe. The buttons need to be able to control each of those movie clips, so as they play on their own layer one ofter the other, that the buttons can pause it at any moment, then play on from where it was paused. Can someone please help me with the actionscript that should go with the buttons, I have tried, but no success. This is like a "powerpoint presentation but only done in flash". Also where must the buttons be placed? On the main timeline? because that is how it is at the moment? so must the buttons have some actionscript guiding it to control the frames inside the movie clip? how do i do that?

Ask if anything might be unclear.
Thank you for any help!

Any useful link?

Play/Pause Button
Hi all,

I'm trying to create a button that will play and pause the timeline. I have already created one button that has Action Script to play and one button that has Action Script to stop. My new button needs to be a single button that when clicked it plays the timeline and switches to a pause button. When the button is pressed again it stops the timeline and switches back to the play button.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi does anyone have a script to play/pause an animation I have created? Thank you

Play/pause Button Help
Hi, newbie here.

Question about play/pause buttons; I've got a pause button which refuses to work. I've tried

Code:
on (release) {
stop();
}
and

Code:
on (press) {
stop();
}
but they don't work. The play button works fine though. The file has music, so maybe that's a contributing factor? Because I've tested the buttons without music and they work fine.

Another question: I want to know how to place a "Play" button before an animation.

Thanks in advance!
