Flash :: Looping Animation

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:

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

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:

http://www.lsrdigital.com/flash/LSR.fla

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?

Looping Animation
So I've figured out how to loop my flash animation in forward and reverse with a bit of copped actionscript. What I am wondering now is:

Is there a way to set the number of times the animation loops and then stops? Right now it plays then reverses (which I want) into infinity (when I'd rather it stopped after say 3 times around the block.).

Thanks for any help!

Looping An Animation
i've searched many sites looking for an answer to my probelm, but i havent found a clear source yet...

my question is..
How do i loop one object, like a star twinkling, while the background and/or the other objects stop. i tryed to insert a "stop" command on the other layers, but that stoped the whole movie.

it seems like a dumb question, but i havent found a straght answer yet.

Animation Looping
I've done an animation with three scenes, the first being a preloader, the second the main animation, and the third scene containing buttons which I want to remain on screen until the user closes it. When I publish and play the file, it reaches the third scene and then loops straight back to the preloader. Has anyone got any ideas on how to make the final scene stay on screen? I'd be very grateful for any help/ideas.

Looping Animation...
I'm having a problem with my character in my game. Whenever the correct key is pressed, he will do the animation that I've told him to do, but unless I press another key, he won't stop.

E.g. I have a running animation - even after you're done holding done the running key, he'll still run on the spot and not stop unless I trigger my shooting animation or run the other way.

I've posted my .fla and you'll be able to see the code I used at various points, and please if possible, help me find a solution to this. It's driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance for any help - JohnnyTightLips

Animation Not Looping
Hi everyone,

I have a small flash movie containing a different movie clip on each of five frames. These clips play one after the other but when the last clip plays I need it to loop back to the first one. The playhead automatically goes back to frame 1 after the last frame has played but since the movie clip on frame one has already ended this clip won't play again. I tried to put the following code on frame 1 of the main timeline:

Text1_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);

..."Text1_mc" being the name of the movie clip on this frame. I thought that once the playhead encountered this code it would play this clip and therefore everything would loop, but it just won't loop - it's not working.

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, but if someone has any idea can you let me know. I've uploaded the file here:

http://www.officelinkonline.com.au/Ad/

if anyone woud take a look?

Thanks again for any help offered

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

Animation Looping Issue
Hi,

I have created an animation for a web site made up of a few images that have transitions - ergo, fade in to each other, slide in from the left or right etc. It looks brilliant, however, the problem I am having is that during the loop there is a break between the last image on the timeline and the fade in of the first. How can I get it so that there is no break between and a seamless fade between the first and last image?

Many thanks,

Looping Animation 4 Times
For whatever reason I can't get this to work. I have a banner ad that I built with everything on the main timeline and the client would like it to loop 4 times. What is the best or easiest way to do this. Through the property Inspector? ActionScript? The only way I was able to get it to work was by putting my main movie within a graphic symbol on the root timeline and by extending that symbol out to the amount of frames the movie would take to play 4 times (Main movie is 383 and at four times that would expand to 1532 frames). I also tried it with a while statement but can't get it to work.

ex.
i = 4;
while (i > 0) {
myMC.duplicateMovieClip("newMC" + i, i );
i--;
}

Thanks in advance.

Changing A Looping Animation
Is it possible to make a looping animation that gradually changes after each replay?

Like, have the animation play once, then on the second play a particular element is removed from the animation. Then on the third replay, another element is removed, and so on...

And, perhaps, on the 12th replay a particular element is added to the loop.

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 Animation @ End Of An Intro
I'm working on a flash intro now that I've almost finished and I'm trying to get past one thing... At the end of the intro, the button comes up that gives you the option to watch it again. When that happens, I would like to have an animation on the end that repeats until you select something. So far I've put the animation into a MC and then put that on the timeline at the end. It plays it but it repeats back to the beginning of the intro instead of repeating to the beginning of the last mc. I was thinking that movie clips repeat themselves if you don't tell them not to. Is there some code I have to put in to tell it to repeat? That may not be enough information so far but can anyone offer any suggestions?

Looping Animation For Portfolio

stat_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, statonClick);function statonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    gotoAndPlay("statement");    stop();}port_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, portonClick);function portonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    gotoAndPlay("portfolio");    stop();}con_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cononClick);function cononClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    gotoAndPlay("contact");    stop();}resume_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeonClick);function resumeonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    gotoAndPlay("resume");    stop();}bio_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bioonClick);function bioonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    gotoAndPlay("bio");    stop();}

the code for each scene looks like this:

PHP Code:

stop();stat_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, statonClick);function statonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    MovieClip(parent.root).gotoAndStop("statement")    }con_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cononClick);function cononClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    MovieClip(parent.root).gotoAndStop("contact");    stop();}res_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeonClick);function resumeonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    MovieClip(parent.root).gotoAndStop("resume");    stop();}bio_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bioonClick);function bioonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{    MovieClip(parent.root).gotoAndStop("bio");    stop();}

Is it the stops thats messing it up? Any help would be appreciated.

Randomly Looping Animation Help
hi, im having an odd bit of a problem, and im not sure why its happening

everything works except for one problem that follows thus:
a vertical bar travels left-right or right-left
if its on the right side, it goes left, vice-versa
upon reaching its destination, it should start going back the way it came
instead it keeps going right, which i find puzzling.

here is the code, the FLA is attached

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var i = (Math.random()*100);
var j = i / 4;
var k = i / 5;
varn = i / 14
varl = 5 + n;
var m =this._x
this._width = j;
this._alpha = k;
if (i <= 50) {
var z = 1;
} else {
var z = 0;
}
if (z = 0) {
this._x=-150;
} else {
this._x=900;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x >=900) {
i = (Math.random()*100);
j = i / 4;
k = i / 3;
n = i / 14
l = 5 + n;
this._width = j;
this._alpha = k;
var a = 0;
this._x = 850;
}else if (this._x<= -150) {
i = (Math.random()*100);
j = i / 4;
k = i / 5;
n = i / 14
l = 5 + n;
this._width = j;
this._alpha = k;
var a = 1;
this._x = -100;
}
if (a = 0) {
m = this._x
this._x = m - l;
}else if (a = 1){
m = this._x
this._x = m + l;

Limiting Looping Animation?
So I'm using some subtle looping animations as an element of a flash site. When I'm running it locally on my Powerbook (1.33Ghz / 512MB RAM), I see via top that it takes between 8% - 32% of the cpu processor.

I like the 8% number...the 32% for the effect alone is troublesome. As I add more complexity into it, I want to make sure things stay running smoothly. Is there a way to limit certain animations? How do you guys handle mutliple complex animations at the same time?

Just wanted different ideas on the subject.

Looping An AS Animation Function
Hi guys. I'm trying to figure out the best way to loop this animation sequence I've coded. Here's what it looks like:

ball1.goal_y = ball1._y;
ball1._y = ball1._y-200;
ball2.goal_y = ball2._y;
ball2._y = ball2._y+200;
ball3.goal_x = ball3._x;
ball3._x = ball3._x+300;
//set functions
this.onLoad = function() {
play_anim();
};
function play_anim() {
ball1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.speed_y = (this.speed_y*damping)+((this.goal_y-this._y)*easing);
this._y = this._y+this.speed_y;
this.counter++;
if (this.counter>8) {
ball2_tween(ball2);
}
if ((Math.abs(this.goal_y-this._y)<2) && (this.counter>10)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
function ball2_tween(clip) {
clip.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.speed_y = (this.speed_y*damping)+((this.goal_y-this._y)*easing);
this._y = this._y+this.speed_y;
this.counter++;
if (this.counter>8) {
ball3_tween(ball3);
}
if ((Math.abs(this.goal_y-this._y)<2) && (this.counter>10)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
function ball3_tween(clip) {
clip.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.speed_x = (this.speed_x*damping)+((this.goal_x-this._x)*easing);
this._x = this._x+this.speed_x;
this.counter++;
if ((Math.abs(this.goal_x-this._x)<2) && (this.counter>10)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
}
stop();

Here's a link to the .fla

after it's done playing I want to have a counter go for a certain amount of time and then replay the animation: play_anim()

how would I go about coding this? Thanks in advance.

Audio/sound And Looping Animation
Hello all.

This is my first post so please bear with me if i am not 100% up to speed on the lingo or etiquette here.

I have a small flash question which related to playing audio and syncing to animation. Always a headache.

I have a flash movie that is not heavy on the graphics but i do have some major audio the need to sync with some of the graphics.
Given different processor speed out there i know this is a difficult thing. However what I thinking of doing is this:

1. play the movie, the animation starts then the audio.
2. at this point i start a timer that loops the animation for a duration of the audio
3. when the audio is done or rather when the timer has reached the set time (length of the audio) the animation can continue and the loop ends.

Sounds good right?

Ok. well here is my problem. I have no idea how to implement it. lol.

Can anyone help? Please....

Thanks.

Unload Sound In Looping Animation
Hello.

I hope you can help.

I have created a movie that loops. The movie shows a foot tapping on the floor. The user of the site is supposed to be able to change the sound when the foot hits the floor.

I have attached two sounds, and I have created a button, that loads one sound into the movie. The sound, then, is triggered, when the movie reaches the keyframe, that contains the sound. So far so good. Now I want to make a button that stops the sound from being played, when the movie reaches this keyframe. I have tried a simple "stop sound" command, but the sound continues. The perfect solution would be if I could simply unload the sound, but this is not possible.

How should I do this ?

Perhaps I have done it all wrong from the beginning ?

Please help - I hope you understand what I am trying to do...

Looping Animation Heights[flash 8 Pro]
I want to have the random height change like you see in music players such as Windows media Player, visualization:bars. specifically i want the bars to start with different _height values, and then go up and down between a 16pixel height range. This is what i have so far, however when i test the movie, it crashes.

Code:
vBar_1.onEnterFrame = function() {
//the animation will only play if my music is playing
while (stat == "playing") {
//if the bar is already at 16px high or has gotten there, go back down to zero
if (vBar_1._height == 16) {
while (vBar_1._height != 0) {
vBar_1._height = this._height-1;
}
} else {
//likewise, if the bar is at 0px, send it back up
while (vBar_1._y != 16) {
vBar_1._height = this._height+1;
}
}
}
};

This is just one of the bars. Once i figure out how to make one work, i will duplicate the code/object.

I have one other concern that pesters me: Will i need a way to control how fast this moves, or is it already set by how many frames-per-second the .swf is in? Like, that loop worked in theory, would it just flash beween 16 and 0 pixels and not show the growth/shrinkage inbetween?

Many thanks.

[CS3] Continuous Looping Parts Of My Animation
Hi!

I really need help getting my text mask to loop the movie behind it over and over.

You see, I want the animation to start off with a sound that is played once, then I want the text to have a looping mask over it that plays forever.

I wouldn't mind also learning how to get my background to loop forever also while I do other stuff in the foreground.

does this make sense or do I need to further characterize my problem?
