Flash :: How To Stop Loop In Only One Layer

How To Stop Loop In Only One Layer?
Hi
i think this question is very basic, i have this movie and i want it to loop, but i want to stop the loop in only one layer of the movie, how do i do that?
If i go to actions and apply a "stop" at the end of the layer i want to stop, the whole movie stops, i bet you know that already, so that's the thing.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

How can I stop only one layer so that the whole movie won't stop. I tried to set on the frame's actions to stop, but it stops the whole movie. I don't want to make millions of keyframes

Stop Layer
I have like 3 layers, 2 of which draw lines across the screen. Now I want the 2 layers to stop and stay on the screen while the other layers do what they need to do.

The problem I have is the 2 layers just disappear and the other layers after that just do what they are supposed to do.

Anyway to make those stick? Thanks!!!!!!

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Getting A Layer To Loop?
Hello All,

I am really new to actionscript, so bear with me here.

Ok, I have like 5 layers setup. On one layer (my background layer, I have frames setup so that it runs a nice little animation (on that layer only). The above layers are all stagnant. What I want to do is to be able to have the animated layer (my bkgrd layer) be set up on a loop, so that it is always moving at all times...all the other layers will remain the way they are.

So..what's the actionscript for this layer? Or is there another way to set it up not using actionscript? And what frame do I add the actionscript to?

Any hlp much appreciated..

Thanx,

Help Stop Repeating Layer

Do I have to strech the layer out until the end of my movie ? or is there an easier way ?

Stop Sound For A Layer
I was wondering the best way to stop a sound for a particular action - e.g. a circle moving across a screen. I want the sound to play only while the ball is going across the screen. I have a seperate timeline layer that is identical to the circles in that scene. When I custom edit the sound, that would be cumbersome as I tend to frequently change the length of the timeline.

When I insert stopallsounds, it effects not only that sound but all of my background music as well. I tried just a stop() but that doesn't seem to work either.

Any suggestions?

How Do You Stop A Layer From Replaying?

Multiple Layer Loop
I have been working on an animation project for a client's website and I have come across a very wierd situation I haven't sen before. I need to be able to loop 10 separate layers all at the same time, all starting from the same point several frames into the scene. They need to loop up until I work in a button to continue the animation, which should be a lot simpler. How do I get all of these layers to loop in unison?

A Layer That Ignores The Stop(); Action?
hi i was wondering if there is any code to allow a singler layer to not be affected by stop(); command, im having a video play in the background of my flash production and it stops when it hits a certain frame and i want it to play til the correct frame. cheers in advance

Stop Command - Per Layer, Not Per Frame?
I'm sure this is a VERY obvious basic question....

BUT (!)

Is there any way to place a stop command on a frame of a LAYER only, rather than the whole frame 1 of all layers within my movie? (ie I want the rest of the movie to play whilst one layer (which has the ability for the user to push a 'next' button to move through the frames in that layer) stops until the user pushes the next button)

Thank you.

Kristen.

Making One Layer Not Loop While Another Loops?
Download my file: http://www.rdi1.com/personal/banner.fla

If you look at my file you will see what I mean.

The guide animation (top layer) is supposed to loop (and it does). The 'IRA' layer I only want to play once, then stop. I have the objects option set to "Play Once", but obviously I don't know what I'm doing so it doesn't just play once.

Thanks for the help,
Matt

Stopping A Loop On A Single Layer...
Hi,

I am fairly new to flash, but I am just having a bit of trouble getting something to work. I have tried, but to no avail. Basically I would like to stop the loop on one layer of animation, while the rest of the layers continue their loop for infinate times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I am using Flash MX.

Is There A Way To Stop/play/goto Frames On One Layer Only.
I'm not very good at actionscript at all.

Stop Scene Loop Without Stop();
I have an interactive flash application that I'm building, but it's gotten kinda large (~200k) because of one large png file. So, I want to build a preloader for it, but I seem to have some difficulty getting it to a) stop looping back to scene 1, or b) look good if I use stop();

for some reason, the folowing scene's moving elements look crappy if I use stop(); in it's first frame in order to stop it from going back.

I don't want scene 1 to continuously reappear, but stop messes with the moving elements in scene 2.

Any novel suggestions? Thanks in advance for even reading this.

Stop Loop And Replay Loop
Okay on my stage I have a start(MC) and a stop(MC) and a clear(MC) these will be used as buttons. I also have a dynamic text box that shows my output.

I am making it so when you click start it will start counting from 0 to whenever you hit the stop button, I have changed my fps to 1 so it doesn't crash my computer, And this is where I am running into trouble. Here is my code.

var myTimer = 0;

startBtn.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
myTimer = myTimer + 1;
//trace(myTimer);
this._parent.myTxt.text = myTimer;
}

}

stopBtn.onPress = function() {
trace(myTimer);
this.myTimer.onEnterFrame = stop();
}

I would also like it so when you hit start again it picks up where it left off.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Stop A Layer From Repeating Without Stopping Other Layers In The Scene
Hi!

I am in the process of learning flash and am having a bit of problem with one of the scenes. I have several layers on the main scene, but I don't want one of the layers to repeat itself, without effecting the other layers.

So, I just want that layer to run once and the other layers to repeat.

Is there a way to do that? How do I do that?

How Do I Make This Movie Clip A Loop In The Mask Layer
Hi, please show me how to make this movie clip a loop using actionscript in the mask layer. Sorry the attachment is not working so I can't attach the flash file.

Basically I have two layers for main timeline; the first layer is for background and the second layer is for mask. Inside the mask layer there are two layers.
I put 6 different images side by side inside the movie clip and the movie clip is masked. I used this actionscript for the movie clip. I get to see the image slides to the left. When it reaches to the 6th image, it cuts off but I want this continues as a loop. How do I achieve this?

Quote:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = -2;
this.x += speed;
}

Thank you.

Can Anyone Help Me Stop This Loop?
Hi there

I'm trying to stop a tunnel effect so that it stops after, for example, 10 loops. Can anyone out there help with the loop code, and where would it go in the following set up?

The code is set up as follows:

Theres an ACTIONS layer and a MAIN layer on the main timeline.

1. Actions layer has 6 frames, as follows:

FRAME 1

i = 0;
alpha = 0.1;
BBB = 5;
maxlight = 20;
toggleHighQuality();
_root.attachmovie("AA", "NN", 9999);
NN._x = 315;
NN._y = 200;
// Mouse.hide();

FRAME 2

for (j=1; j<5 && i duplicateMovieClip("/li0", "li" add i, i);
setProperty("/li" add i, _xscale, getProperty("/li" add (i-1), _xscale)+i*alpha);
setProperty("/li" add i, _yscale, getProperty("/li" add (i-1), _yscale)+i*alpha);
alpha = alpha*1.14;
i = Number(i)+1;
}

FRAME 3

if (i gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
}

FRAME 4

setProperty("li0", _alpha, 0);

FRAME 5

i = maxlight;
// if( first ==1){
// li0._x = li0._x -1;
// first = 0;
// }else{
// li0._x = li0._x +1;
//
// first = 1;
// }
//
while (Number(i)>0) {
setProperty("/li" add i, _y, (getProperty("/li" add (i-1), _y)+getProperty("/li" add i, _y))/2+11*(li0._y-200)/200);
setProperty("/li" add i, _x, (getProperty("/li" add (i-1), _x)+getProperty("/li" add i, _x))/2+11*(li0._x-400)/400);
setProperty("/li" add i, _rotation, getProperty("/li" add (i-1), _x)/4-90);
i = i-1;
}

FRAME 6

BBB = BBB-1;
gotoAndPlay(5);
if (BBB == 0) {
NN._visible = 0;
}

2. Main layer

startDrag ("li0", true);

Thanks in advance for your time

How Do I Stop A Loop?
i have an image of a globe that i ahve tweened to increase it in size whilst it looks like it is rotating. How do i stop it from looping back and make it stay large, rotating at the same time?

Why Why The Loop No Stop
code:
///frame 1
function result(a, b) {
return a+b;
}
var i = 0;
while (i<2) {
var value = result(i, 1);
trace(value);
if (value == 2) {
break;
} else {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
i++;
}
///frame2
stop();
trace(i);

you can see the program should do 'gotoAndStop(2)' in the first loop
because the value equal '1' in this time and the variable i should equal '0' but..
in fact,flash got frame2 after finished while loop 2 times
in the way the "else" doesn't work.
why??

Stop The Loop

How To Loop And Stop
i have basic frames that need to loop all movie from frame 1 to 100 but i need to stop after 3 loops, anyone can help me?

Edit....

var countLoop=0;
countLoop += 1;
if (countLoop>3) {
stop();
}

How Do I Stop Loop? And Should I?
I've got a simple function that works towards a lesson progress bar.

onEnterFrame = function () {
progTotal = Math.round (_root._totalframes);
progCurrent = Math.round (_root._currentframe);
progPercent = (progCurrent/300);
trace(progPercent);
}

Works like a champ, but as I traced it I noticed this occurs about 15 times a second (15fps).

This seems like a ton for overhead computing to me, and was wondering if I could just grab it initially on the enterframe and stop. I only need to know once in the frame when it changes (on the entry of a new frame).

Ideas?

Thanks.

Stop On Second Loop
Hello everyone.

Great start to the work week when I have a question this early in the day.

Here it is. I have a web banner that loops twice. I have the loop working no problem (code below). Now on the second play I want to stop it somewhere other than the last frame. For example the movie has text that fades out so the loop can fade in on the second play. But I want to stop on the text before it fades out since the movie is going to stop.

Does anyone know if this is possible. And if you point me in the right direction.

Code:
var loop:Number;

if (loop == 1) {
stop();
}
else if (loop == undefined) {
loop = 1;
}

How To Stop A Swf, Mid-loop
I have a banner that is looping the appropriate number of times, But I need it to stop on a specific frame after looping (NOT the final frame of the swf).
I need it to play through to the frame i want (Frame 85)... instead of JUMPING to it (after the ad plays the fourth time).

This is the script i'm using.
quote:((!x ? x=1 : ++x)<4) ? gotoAndPlay("start") : gotoAndstop(85);

Is my actionscript vocab just limited? I was so proud of myself for figuring it out up to this point. But I've hit a roadblock. Help? Thanks.

How To Stop This Loop?
Hi,

I've got a proplem with stopping this loop:
In the first frame I got this code:

if(!initialized){
i=0;
initialized=true;
}
i++;
duplicateMovieClip ("p", "p"+i, i);
p = eval("p"+i);
p._x = -70+random(10);
p._y = 45+random(10);
if (i==30){
i=0;
}

...and in the second frame I got:

gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);

The effect is that the clip duplicates over and over again. Now, I want to stop that loop, e.g. when "i" reaches 30. I've tried to do that by changing the last part of the code:

if (i==30){
stop();
}

...but didn't work:) I wonder if anyone can help me on this. I'd appreciate.

Actually I wanted the animation to stop, dissapear or was removed. I've tried this one for instance:

if (i==30){
removeMovieClip ("p");
}

but didn't work either.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Loop+duplicate Mc + Stop, Help
Hi, my problem is this one:
I have a loop in a MC who duplicate 3 Mc (blue, red, yellow). Blue is a Mc of a graphic symbol with a guide.
i would like to do 3 loops to my loop, and after this, I would like that all my duplicated Mc stop.

example of script into my loop:

if (CopyCount < 99 and _root.B == 1) {
CopyCount = Number(CopyCount)+1;
trace ("Blue" add CopyCount);
duplicateMovieClip (_root.Blue, "Blue" add CopyCount, CopyCount);
setProperty ("_root.Blue" add CopyCount, _y, "384");
setProperty ("_root.Blue" add CopyCount, _x, "512");
}

At the last image of the loop, I put:
counter=counter+1;
if (counter !=3) {

gotoAndPlay (2);

} else {

stop();

}

I was thinking that the stop could stop my car to moving, but not.
Do you know how I can do it,

THANKS.
