Simple One. This Code Won't End/stop Looping
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._alpha = _alpha+1;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
setProperty("this", _alpha, "100");
}
}
Its a movie which starts at 0 and i want it to stop when it gets to whatever i specify in the >= (and then set the property to that ammount so it stays there)
Presently the image just becomes more and more opaque without stopping.

Stop A Movie From Looping?
hi,
i have a movie file embedded in my flash document that i would like to stop looping so that a button within that movie file can be clicked. otherwise, it keeps going around and around without just stopping.
the general idea is that my file first opens with things flying in, representing the background, and then in the middle of that, a movie starts playing which involves a series of words fading in that ask the viewer to click in order to continue. i want the movie to pause there until the user clicks the button. i have a button made and everything, and the action works when its clicked, i just cannot figure out how to make the movie pause and wait for the viewer to click on it.
if this is not enough information, please email me or IM me at thesilly@aol.com thank you very very much!

How To Stop A Movie From Looping...?
Hi...
I have that "stop" action in the last frame of my movie, yet it is still playing...?
Click Here For An Example
I have a page with a left hand frame and bottom frame. In the main frame, I have the ".SWF" file playing - yet it keeps looping.
Also, in my "publish settings" - I have the "Loop" term unchecked.
Anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it?
Thanks,
Dan

How Can I Stop My Movie From Looping?
I used the tutorial on 'Loading movies into target: Flash MX' from http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/l...:%20Flash%20MX
and got my movie loaded and playing when a button is pushed. However, it loops over and over. What can I do to stop it from looping and make it go back to the menu when it's done playing?
thanks

[CS3] Movie Won't Stop Looping
I have a Flash movie with 2 Pages. One page has a Gallery and one has a Slideshow, each page with a button taking you to the other page.
The problem I have is this:
I can use the Slideshow button to take me to the slideshow. BUT, when I use the Gallery button to go out of the Slideshow, back to the gallery, it keeps looping back to the slideshow page. I have a stop on the Gallery page/frame, but it doesn't seem to want to stop.
I thinking the problem is that I have this code. It pauses on each frame of the slideshow but then advances to the next. When I go back to the Gallery this action script is still going on...
stop();
var nInterval = setInterval(Play, 5000);
function Play() {
clearInterval(nInterval);
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
}
Is there a way to cancel this script once I use the button to leave the Slideshow frame?
Thanks in Advance.

How Do You Stop A Movie Looping
Hello
I am using a few movie clips as thumbnails on a web page. They are linked to play the full movie file. Before I added the link to the thumbnail clips they would stop after playing once. This is what I wanted. But now that I have added a web link to the Flash thumbnail they play in a never ending loop.
How can I stop this from happening.
Thanks

Can't Stop Movie From Looping
I've just made a flash movie and published a swf file. When I load it into my browser, it continuously loops. When I load it onto an html page in Dreamweaver it loops too, even though I unchecked the loop box on import. I'm new to flash, I'm sure this is terribly simple but since the CS4 manuals are not on sale yet, I'm at a loss.
thanks for your help

Stop Looping A Loaded Movie
Hi again
I made a basic movie with baloons. One of the balloons is a button(first.swf); on mouseevent I load a movie on the same level, so first.swf disappears.
When clicking on this second.swf a third.swf is opening instead of the second.swf. This third.swf is supposed to stop at the end and showing a logo, but it starts and starts again with the second.swf.
I tried to put a stop in the second.swf....but then it stops at the end and this is not the meaning if somebody does not click to start the third.swf.
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot!

How To Stop Movie Clip From Looping
Hey guys, a newbie here. I have this movie clip that I purchase and made some changes to, but for some reason can't figure out why it keeps replaying over and over. I'm trying to get it to pause at the end where it says "Call for a free trial." I don't see anything in the action script that would cause it to replay. Can anyone help me figure this out?
The clip can be viewed at:

Stop A Movie Clip From Looping Forever?
I created a movie in Swish 2.0 of a simple text effect. ( bought Swish just for the text effects) I tried importing the .swf file which filled all the frames with one letter of the text. That was fine but it looped forever and was positioned wrong.
Ok, back to my books....
I imported it again as a movie clip. Fine again, even better I can position it correctly. BUT I can't get it to stop looping :-(
Trying action scripting (several variations from book suggestions...I am not getting it.
I want to have the movie clip run one time, stop and stay on the stage/browser window as a static element.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance,

URGENT - Stop Main Movie Looping After Preload
Hi there - this is a stoopid one - I have a preloader for an xml file and then a large movie clip. I preload using three key frames (First sets up the load, the second tests for success and the third just loops to the second).
Once the xml has loaded, I want to jump the loop and carry on to a KF which has a clip on that is highly complex, comes with animation and animated clips embedded.
How do I stop the main time line looping back to the preloader without stopping the main time line?
If I put in a stop(); on the timeline, then all of the animations on the large mc then shutdown. I either get the loop and the animations or no loop and no animations.
Help!!!!

Simple Looping Movie Leaking Memory
Has anyone else experienced or noticed a slight memory leak in even the simplest of looping animations?
The animations we're constructing are being used as a screensaver, and while the initial memory leak is almost unnoticable, in a scenario where the machine runs the movie for an extended period of time - say 24 hours a day for a week - the leak becomes an issue.
I've stripped the files down to bare bones, removing any and all commands and functions - basically just setting up three scenes that run one after the other and loop back to the beginning. Just to be absolutely clear - there's absolutely no commands in the movie - it just plays.
There are no images or bitmaps in the entire movie. The animations only consist of lines of text. Long lines of type however - 1830 px in total length, and some lines of text move across the screen.
I'm at a wall, since I've stripped the movie clean of functions and commands, and I don't know what else I can do to try and plug the leak. I do have a single movie clip in the animation (basically a just a piece of text that I animate the alpha to serve as a highlight).
Can anyone provide any insight into what I should be doing to cover all my bases? Does anyone know of any known issues regarding anything I outlined above that may be contributing to this memory leak?
Thanks.

Looping Movie And Simple Text Change Help
I'm creating a piece in flash that will be based off a cd rom for a salesman. I'm working on the prototype right now which is fairly simple. A movie is placed on the background along with 5 links. When the user clicks on a link the text above it needs to change.
I know this has to be Flash 101 type stuff but is there a tutorial out there that could point me in the right direction. The text above the links would probably need to be in a little scroll box to allow for longer paragraphs.
Also - the movie is playing awesome but it just keeps looping on the output. How do I tell the movie to quit playing after 1 run through?
MANY thanks for any help.

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);

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.

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.

Stop Looping
I know I can put a stop action after a a complete movie but I want to stop each image after it "enters" onto my scene. Every time I put a "stop" in the time line, it stops my whole movie. For instance, I floated in roses and then wanted to add wording and have that float in as well. When I put in a stop action, after the roses, it stops the words from completely entering onto my scene as well as the roses. In other words, where to I put the stop action to stop each individual item that I want to stop at various times rather than stopping my whole movie. Thanks! iAppeal

Can't Stop Looping
Can anyone suggest a hack to this code that will cause the movie to stop at the end? The Loop param is set to false, but that doesn't stop it. This was output from Techsmith Camtasia; their support has a known issue and their solution is a version upgrade which I would rather not do if I can find some code to end the loop.
(just drag slider to the end and watch the loop kick in)
