Flash :: Help With Loop And Restarting Movie

Restarting A Movie
I have a movie that loads a variable from a file. the variable is just a special string containing properties for a textField. I have read and parsed the variable, and created my text fields and many other objects dynamically. It all works fine.

My problem is this:

I want to load a new file and make all new objects, totally getting rid of the ones I made. It would be a huge hassle to loop thru all the objects of various types, using .removeMovieClip or whatever. Is there a way to just restart the movie but still remember just 1 variable? (the variable for which file to load on restart)

thanks in advance.

Restarting Movie
Is it possible to restart the WHOLE movie using actions script?

Like:

Code:
_root.*restart*
Where the *restart* would be the code

Restarting A Movie With AS3
In Flash 8 and earlier, I could restart a movie from the beginning with loadMovieNum(_url, 0);

This isn't supported in CS3/AS3. Is there another way to set a movie back to its original state without having to manually reset all the variables and objects?

Restarting Movie
How could I have a movie restart itself totally?
Like every variable declared, every MC that changed, every thing that the user did, goes back to what it was when it started. In other words, it would be like the movie hitting your browser's refresh button for you.
And could you do the same with only the current scene?
thanks,

Restarting A Movie
Hi all,

I must being doing something wrong here, but I just can't get it to work (and as always time is running out) so here goes....

In frame 1 of the main movie I've got a stop; and a large movie clip (an imported swf file)

What I want to do is when imported movie clip ends to restart the main movie again from frame 2

All it seems to do is run the imported movie then stop

Any help please!!!

Restarting Movie In Powerpoint
I have a powerpoint pres. with a swf on one of the slides. Everything works fine but if i need to stop the slideshow and restart the animation doesnt work; it only works the first time the slideshow is played. So then I have to exit and reopen the ppt presentation to replay the show with animation. Is there a way to make the animations play once a certain slide is started? Thanks!

Movie Restarting For No Reason
Hey everyone

I've made a flash thing which is meant to act like a text based RPG, and it was working fine (relatively :P). On frame 1 there's a preloader which is just an arrow moving across the screen. Frame 2 has nothing on the stage, and has about 600 lines of actionscript starting with a stop() command. For some reason after i added some more code, it would start restarting itself for no readily apparent reason. You would type in a command, press enter, and it would show the preloader for a moment before returning to the start of the code again. However, after i tried it a few times, sometimes it would work until i stopped using it, other times i couldn't even do one command, and other times it would happen at a point apparently at random. Does anyone know why this would happen? I don't use any frame moving commands, but i'll post what i added in

ActionScript Code:
function Storyify(found, line) {
nextLine = line;
if (found != 1) {
if (nextLine<>"You mumble to yourself, unsure of your actions." and nextLine<>"") {
nextLine = "You mumble to yourself, unsure of your actions.";
} else {
nextLine = "";
}
}
_root.SavedSO.data.story = _root.SavedSO.data.story+" "+nextLine;
}

As well as several calls to that function throughout the code.

Restarting My Flash Movie
I have done a web-site type interafce in Flash MX and at some stage of the site I want there to be a button, which when pressed, will restart the whole thing from the beginning (not gotoframe 1, but re-setting everything instead).

How is this done?

Thanks!!!

Problem With Restarting A Movie
I'm building a Flash presentation that will stop at intermediate spots to allow the presenter to explain the material presented, and then be able to continue to the next area by clicking either the mouse or the space bar. I can get the movie to stop, but having trouble restarting it. To qualify, I'm very new to using ActionScript and sure its something minor I'm overlooking.

Out the visible layers in the presentation, I have two additional layers, "global functions" and "events." "Global functions" is above "events" (in case that matters).

"global functions" contains the following Script, which is working:

// Halt the movie
stop()

on the same frame, on the "events" layer, is the following script (which isn't working):

on (release, keyPress "<Space>") {
play();
}

Can anyone tell me what is incorrect in the script on the "events" layer? thanks.

[MX] Restarting A Movie/sound After Stopping It...
Heya all, thanks in advance for the help.

This seems like it would be an obvious answer, but I must be missing something. Anyway, here we go.

I have a frame in my movie that plays a mp3 file when the frame is played. I dropped the sound file right onto the frame.

What I want to be able to do is stop playing the sound on the frame with a button (I can do that now, just made a button with "stop all sounds").

Then at some point after I stop the sound, restart the sound file on that same frame.

For some additional background info - essentially what I created was a flash power point presentation. Each frame has a diffirent slide, and an mp3 voice over that goes along with each slide/frame. I added some forward/back buttons (to move through the presentation), a mute button, and now want a "stop slide" and "restart slide" button. Since there is no animation, the only thing that will change is the sound stopping and restarting.

Nothing I do can get that sound file to start playing again.

If anyone could help me out I'd GREATLY appreciate it.

Thanks again!

Any Code For Refreshing Or Restarting Movie
hi guys, i want to make button that will refresh or restart the movie, can this be done?

GotoAndPlay(jumpTo) Restarting Movie
For a little Flash Animation I have, I wanted a typing effect. I wanted it so it looked like someone was actually typing on the screen. The code below is what I came up with, and it worked...

untill now.

I was syncing this with sound and after every function in the next frame I would have to movie skip ahead a few frames. So to simplify this process I just added another paramiter in my textTyping() function. I declared the variable jumpTo as a number and set it to null. In my code, where it usually just had a "gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);" it now checks to see if the jumpTo variable was set when the function was called. if so, jump to that frame. Well... instead if just restarts my movie. Any idea what I did wrong? THanks.

Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var frameNum:Number = 0;
var jumpTo:Number = null;

appendText = function(appendtext){
typing += appendtext;
}
returnText = function(){
typing += String.fromCharCode(13);
}
clearText = function(){
typing = "";
}
backText = function(){ //doesn't work... lol, no real loss
typing += String.fromCharCode(8);
}
typeText = function(varspeed, vartext, jumpTo){
var speed:Number = varspeed;
frameNum++;
thetext = new String(vartext);
tlength = thetext.length;
var textarr:Array = thetext.split("");
if(frameNum==speed){
if(i<tlength){
if (textarr[i]==" "){
typing += textarr[i];
i++;
}
typing += textarr[i];
i++;
frameNum = 0;
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
}else if(i==tlength){
i=0;
frameNum=0;
if(jumpTo == null){
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(jumpTo);
jumpTo = null;
}
}
}else{
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
}
}
THANK YOU!

Keeping A Flash Movie From Restarting
I have a flash file as the navigation bar up top of my web page and i call new html pages on the bottom, so the flash refreshes everytime i click a link. Is there a easier way to keep the flash file static while still changing the relevant html below??

Question About Restarting A Flash Movie
I was wondering. Is there a way to hard-reset a flash movie by using actionscript? I'm coding an application for flash communication server and I would like to be able to run a function that pretty much says, "ooops, time to start all over again." I just don't want to keep track of every single little variable that I'm using and having to reset them with an init() function.

Flash Movie Randomly Restarting
This flash movie i have finsihed now keep jumping back to the first frame randomly and for no reason that I can see.

the movie thats bin loaded is a container, frame one has the lil intro in and that then uses a _root.gotoAndPlay when it reaches its end to make the container move to the next frame which there contains the main site bit.

Restarting A Movie Clip Problem
I have a very simple movie that randomly places a movie clip:

Code:

Frame 1:
i=0;

Frame 2:
_root.tile.duplicateMovieClip("tile"+i,i+1)
_root["tile"+i]._x=Math.random()*550+20;
_root["tile"+i]._y=Math.random()*320+20;
_root["tile"+i]._xscale=Math.random()*50+10;
_root["tile"+i]._yscale=Math.random()*90+8;
_root["tile"+i]._alpha=Math.random()*100+1;
_root["tile"+i]._rotation=Math.random()*45+10;

Frame 3:
if(i<30){
++i
gotoAndPlay(2)
}else{
gotoAndStop(1)
}
Once i gets to 30, the movie stops.

I want to remove all of the MCs via a button, and restart the movie.

I can remove them, but I can't seem to restart the movie - by that I mean that the MCs are removed, but the movie doesn't start again by randomly placing MCs - instead, one MC instance fires off, and then nothing. These are the actions on the button:

Code:
on (release) {
i=1;
gotoAndPlay(1);
var i = 0;
var ref = null;
for(i in this)
{
if(typeof (ref = this[i]) == "movieclip")
ref.removeMovieClip();
}
}

Movie Clips In For Loop Onlydisplaying In 1st Loop
Hi there! I'm new at this so excuse if I'm being stupid.

I'm creating a game which I'm looping through an array and inside the loop I'm playing clips. The clips display only the first time the loop is being run. Here is the actionscript. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME... I'M DESPERATE!!!

Restarting
i have created an online tutorial for a software package. i have broken the HUGE file into 5 or 6 separate movie files. a menu allows the user to choose which section they wish to view - in addition, the tutorial can also run straight thru as a complete movie.

HOWEVER, once i get to the 5th section (not exactly at the same point every time) it cuts out and restarts the entire tutorial at the beginning. if i let it run thru again it doesnt happen. is it a download issue?

1) ive tried breaking the movies down so no movie is over 1.6MB.
2)i tried converting all movies to flash 5.
3) i tried unloading the previous movies.

help!

thank you.

Help With RESTARTING In Some Way
Basicly i've posted a question earlier and it seems that my problem is a big one and i would like to go back a stage and unmake all my symbols. Is there a way to do this?

To convert a symbol back into a simple graphic?

Restarting A Swf
Is there someway to restart the swf? So for example, after 20 loops of the swf, the code will call a restart function so that the swf starts from anew. I am asking about this because the system memory of mine keeps building up, (slowly now since ive optimized it) but after the 20th loop its start lagging, so this restart which would completely start with new system memory would fix my problem. any thoughts? thanks

Restarting Sound
Does anyone know how to re-start a background loop automatically after someone comes back from a pop-up window? I would think it has something to do with some of the Sound object properties (eg Sound.start, Sound.stop) but I can't get them to work.

Pausing/restarting
This question has been asked a million times, but I still can't get this to work.... please help!!! I have a movie clip that I want to pause if you click on it once and resume playing (or perhaps to another clip) if you click on it again. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Prevent Mc From Restarting - I'm Not Sure How...
I'm not sure how I would go about doing this...

I have an mc with 10 frames. I have buttons to switch between frames. Each frame has an mc with 10 frames, and buttons to switch between frames. (So I have 110 frames total, 10 parent frames and 100 subframes.)

If I switch frames in one of the sub-mcs, then switch frames in the parent mc and go back again, the sub-mc starts over again at frame 1. How do I get them not to start over?

Restarting Presentation?
Hello everyone,

Im in the process of making a kiosk that will be displayed to where the public came come up and click through the presentation. What I want is that if someone starts clicking through pages and leaves and the kiosk is stagnet for an amount of time the whole flash presentation goes back to the opening page, that way if someone new comes up there not starting from within like the middle of the project and at the begining. Is there a way to do this?

thanks in advance

Restarting Sound
After a sound is paused, is there any way to restart a sound where it was paused?
the sound (narration) is on the timeline by:

pageSound = new Sound();
pageSound.attachSound("name");
pageSound.start();

When the user pauses the timeline by pressing the button to stop all sounds and stopthe timeline - that works fine, Restarting the timeline and playing sounds works - but it only picks up and plays the next attached sound as it travels down the timeline, it does not finish playing the sound that was paused.

Any Ideas?

}

Restarting Loaded SWF
I load an external SWF which has 1 frame with code that plays an animation.
Once I load it the animation runs fine, but at a certain point I want the animation to be initiated again, preferably reset the SWF and replay it.

What I did was to remove the loader MC which loads the SWF, setting it to null and reloading the same SWF; didn't work. The SWF appeared, but the animation did not play again. It was as though I just hidden the SWF and showed it.

ActionScript Code:
removeChild(loaderClip);
loaderClip = null;
loaderClip = new Loader();
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain();
loaderClip.load(new URLRequest(globalPath), context);
addChild(loaderClip);
Is there a way to reset loaded SWF to run code again?

Mp3 Restarting After A Few Seconds
I have a site with a LOT of short mp3 music clips to play.
Currently what I built is working perfectly on my desktop,
but when I play it online, it glitches.
I assume there is a problem with the streaming somehow,
but I don't know where to start to fix it.

The glitches are:
(1) a song starts to play, then a couple seconds in, it skips and starts over then plays all the way through.
(2) sometimes if you click on a second song, when the second song skips (see glitch #1), the first song starts playing too so then they're both playing at the same time.

It's in AS2, btw.
The way it's currently built is I create a sound object
and use loadSound to load each external mp3 into that object.

There is a button for every song with a toggle switch inside the button.
The script to play the song is on every button.

(3) I do create the same sound object ("music") on every button.
Would it be better to create the sound object once on frame1 of the whole site
and have every song that loads from external .swfs reference that existing sound object?
Does it matter?

I am quite prepared to completely rebuild it if anyone has a better structure for how to do this.

You also may notice:
(4) I also have a problem with the toggle button (glitchy, but fixing the music is more important).
When you click on the second song, I can't figure out how to get the toggle on the first song
to revert to it's usual "play" state.

Thank you.

Attach Code

toggle_mc.stop();

var music:Sound = new Sound();
music.onLoad = function() {
music.start();
};

//-----------

toggle_mc.onRollOver = function(){
var my_color:Color = new Color(toggle_mc);
my_color.setRGB(0xCF0000); // toggle_mc turns red
}

toggle_mc.onRollOut = function(){
var my_color:Color = new Color(toggle_mc);
my_color.setRGB(0x9A9997); // toggle_mc turns back to grey
}

toggle_mc.onRelease = function(){
if (this._currentframe == 1) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
stopAllSounds();
music.loadSound("http://www.girlcharlie.com/test/music/ind/pianoLessons/jazzPianoLessons/09 Just One More Mile-DUPL_01 1.mp3", true);

} else {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
stopAllSounds();
}
}

Core Keeps Restarting
Once or twice a day my FMS Core with it's application restarts. As far as I see it happens when FMS runs on certain part of server side code that sets properties in shared object very fast (in for loop), for instance:

for (k = 0; k < sharedObjectNamesArray.length; k++)
{
application[sharedObjectNamesArray[k]].setProperty(propName, propValue);
}

Log in my Core is:

Tween Keeps Restarting?
function multiFade(obj1, obj2, delay){
obj1._alpha = 0;
obj2._alpha = 0;

function runSecondTween(){
var alpha_2:Tween = new Tween(obj2, "_alpha", type.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
}

//fade in first obj
var alpha_:Tween = new Tween(obj1, "_alpha", type.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);

//fade in second obj
alpha_.onMotionFinished = function(){
var intrvl:Number = setInterval(runSecondTween, delay*1000);
}
}

Restarting Interval
hi everyone,

got a bit of a question with setInterval();

My Interval is working. But I have a button so that when you click it, it clearIntervals(); etc. But when you click it again, I need it to restart the interval. Which is not happening..

here is my as:

ActionScript Code:
btn.onRelease = function() { if (pressed == 0) { menu.signBtn._visible = true; fader(menu,100); pressed = 1; clearInterval(iid); trace("cleared: "+iid); } else if (pressed == 1) { fader(menu,0); menu.signBtn._visible = false; pressed = 0; var iid = setInterval(this, "image", duration); trace("new: "+iid); }};menu.signBtn.onRelease = function() { getURL("../signUp.html", "_blank");};var iid = setInterval(this, "image", duration);

Now, to me it looks fine, but it won't re-initiate the setInterval..I'm just not quite sure what to do at the moment...

Any tips and advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi there i am fairly new at this but here is my problem,

I used the Video tutorials to create a custom media player in my website to play Flv's, Everything seems to be working fine, however on some of my longer Flv's (1min+) they keep restarting about a third of the way into the file and won't play all the way through?

Any ideas?

Restarting The Flash 5 Experience
Hey,

I took a break from FLASH 5, but now i wanna start it up again. But this time i'm gonna start to use ACTIONSCRIPT when doing almost everything. I used to tween using the motion tween option etc...but now i will try to use actionscript to move things around and enlarge etc...

Is this a good idea or not?...Is it best to use actionscript to do things like tween and enlarge or what?

Neway, my main question is 'Where can i find a maual of some sort to help me learn ACTIONSCRIPT?

Possibly dowmnloadable?

The tutorials here are good, but i wanted a whole wad to enable me to learn the things i want easily...

Thanks in advance...

Restarting Slide Presentation
Hi
I'm having trouble restarting a slide presentation loaded into an mc created at runtime. Here's how I create/load ....
code:
_parent.content_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("slideshow ", 10);
_parent.content_mc.slideshow.loadMovie("swf/slideshow.swf");

.... and here's how I unload ....
code:
_parent.content_mc.slideshow.unloadMovie("slidesho w.swf");
removeMovieClip(_parent.content_mc.slideshow);

But from the second time I load it, the load works but the slide presentation seems stuck on the first frame. Am I making a mistake somewhere?

thanks

MXPro2004

Problem With Restarting LoadSound
I had been using regular Mx up until about 3 months ago when I needed mx 2004 for a project, and I had created many audio sections(in regular mx) using the same code.

_root.my_sound = new Sound;
_root.my_sound.loadSound(xb, true);
_root.my_sound.onSoundComplete =_root.replay

This all works fine I have the variables defined throughout the site then on the pause button I have

on (press) {
_root.myMusicPosition=_root.my_sound.position/1000;
_root.my_sound.stop();
}

and on the Play button to start from the paused position

on (press) {
_root.my_sound.start(_root.myMusicPosition,0);
}

Now this code worked when I had it in regular mx but since moving it over to mx 2004 it doesnt in flash player 6- I think that when it was moved over I didnt change the setting so it would have been set to 7 but I have changed it since then to be set to 6 with as1 - it still doesnt work in flash player 6 but it does work in player. The site I am designing this for would like it to work in flash player 6 - any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks

Restarting From Exit Point
Hello to you all.
I have a slight problem. I have a clip that contains, amongst other things, an exit button.
When clicked a 'Do you want to exit?' prompt is displayed containing Yes and No buttons.
At this point the clip needs to pause.
If the user clicks the No button I want to continue to play the clip from the frame on wich the Exit button was pressed.

I'm ok with what to do if the Yes button is selected.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks in advance,

Stopping And Restarting HitTest
I am trying to create a drop down menu that has buttons that fade in on rollover.

I had the drop down part down, but the buttons within the drop down menu movie would not respond to the rollOver action. I was told by someone on the board that the buttons would not work because I had two rollovers in one place, and they suggested I use hitTest to run one of the rollovers.

So, I am now using hitTest to control the opening of the menu, and rollover to control the buttons inside. The problem at first with the Hit Test was that when I told the hit test to play the movie timeline, it just kept on playing, and would not stop at the stop frame actions. That was because the hitTest was still running, and telling the timeline to play. So the next suggestion was to stop the hitTest after it opened the menu, but this is making it so that the menu will not close when I move the mouse off of the menu area.

Here is the code that was suggested to start and stop the hitTest:

onClipEvent (load)
{
this.ready = true;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)){
this.over = true;
}else{
this.over = false;
}

if (this.over && this.ready){
openmoive();
this.ready = false;
if (!this.over && !this.ready){
closeMenu();
this.ready = true;
}
}
}

I have also attached the fla.

Feel free to manipulate the fla and test it out.

Thanks for your help!
