Stopping Flash's Movie Scaling
This has probably been covered before, and I am sorry if you find this post spam. But I a desperately in need of help and the problem is so vague that I cant find any tut's or info on it.
What I want to do it create a flash movie with defined borders and no scaling on it. so its basically like a normal animated gif, but with the advantage of having the compression of a flash file. Please can someone help me, as I need to figure this out really quickly <=/

Stopping A Scaling Action
I have a logo slowly scaling, but i cant stop. It just keeps growing. How can I stop its scaling after a few seconds? Here's my bootleg code so far...
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var amount = 1;
for (var i = 1; i<=amount; i++) {
this._xscale == this._xscale++;
this._yscale == this._yscale++;
I'm hardcore amateur, forgive naivete. Thanks for any help.

No Resize/scaling A Movie Clip On The Scaling Stage...
I know this has probably been answered here already, but I've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this. If you can point me to a thread where this has already been answered, great! Otherwise I would be grateful for any help you could provide here.

Scaling And Not Scaling In One Movie
Hi!
I´m creating a movie in witch I want curtain ellements (vector images) to scale to 100% of
the users screen and other ellements (pixel images) to stay at a fixed size and position.
Take a look at the following site:
www.hi-res.net
When you scale the browser window, the background photo scales with it; it stays fullscreen.
However, the menu stays at its original size.
The effect is possible without using html layers (see source of www.hi-res.net). Anyone
knows how to make this work within 1 swf through actionscripting?
Thanks,
Jef

Stopping A Movie With A Tween
Newbie question here...I think I am having a brain lock. I have a movie that tweens into position while it is playing. At the end of the movie I want it to stop and remove itself from the page. When I put a stop action at the end of the clip it stops as soon as the tweening is done and doesn't finish the movie. Any ideas?

Movie Clips Not Stopping
i have this huge problem, i am making a game divided by scenes, and it's supposed to work like this:
once you complete the level after 60 secs (with a getTimer) you go to frame 10 where you find the endGame screen and a button to replay the game. the issues is that the movie clips of the target (let's say the enemy spaceships) keep looping and once you start again the level the getTimer function doesn't work so the level never ends
my question is, how can I tell all movie clips and random stuff to stop completly and to refresh all over again when you want to play the game again so it can run without no problems
if you could see the file this is the url

But it doesn't work, looked everywhere, can't find the solution.
Thanks for your help.

Stopping All Movie Clips?
In my flash movie, I am duplicating a movie clip many times.
However, when the timer hits 0, I want to move to a different frame. No problem there but when I do, the previous dupped movie clips linger around.
Is there a way to stop this without doing a 1 to 500 loop and setting visible to false on 500 items (when all but 1-50 are gone). Sure, I could do a last 50 loop but is this really the only way?
I tried moving to a new scene too, no dice.
need something like allmovies._visible=false
Thanks

When I test the movie, everything is stopped, but one of the sounds still plays. What do I need to do to make sure the sound doesn't play?

Stopping A Movie Clip...
Am I missing something here? Is it not possible to add a STOP action to a movie symbol so that it plays out the animation and then stops on the last frame?
e.g.
I've done an animation of a (not fully circular) ball rolling to its side as a movie clip. I then imported this movie into the stage and added a motion tween to make the ball look like it is rolling to a stop. It's suppose to stay in that position for the duration it's visible. When I add a stop action to the movieclip's final frame it doesn't seem to have any effect, so I have resorted to converting it to a graphic and dragging out the last frame beyond the time it is visible
This just seems a little absurd, is there a better way?- or is this what everyone does...

Loop Without Stopping Movie
hello is it possible to create a loop that increments an action, say increasing the height of a graphic, without using a physical frame loop i.e. action on a frame and time line looping to that frame... But that still uses the movie frame speed to increment the action so it doesnt happen instantaneously?

Stopping Sounds (for The Whole Movie)
I really feel stupid, but i did not find (in Koolmoves) a regular way to stop (and to enable) the sounds for the whole movie, only to stop the current playing one.
Do i need a snippet of action script to get that piece of magic to work?
Which one?
Thanks folks!

Stopping A Movie Clip
Hi everyone!
I created a movie clip and two buttons that control it from right to left.
I am using this actionscript:
var speed = 5;
leftButton.onPress = function() {
mcName.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x -= speed;
};
};
rightButton.onPress = function() {
mcName.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += speed;
};
};
rightButton.onRelease = function() {
delete mcName.onEnterFrame;
mcName.stop();
};
leftButton.onRelease = function() {
delete mcName.onEnterFrame;
mcName.stop();
};
Is there a way to stop the movie clip once it reaches a point on the X coordinate? I just don't want it to leave the stage if the buttons are pressed too much. Any suggestions?

Movie Clip Not Stopping
God, will I ever not feel like a Flash beginner?
Here I have a simple movie clip object with it's own actions layer, with a stop(); command at the end of it. This movie clip object is then placed on the main timeline - however, the movie clip does not stop. Crazy! Any ideas? I am simply putting the movieclip on the main timeline manually, i.e. dragging it there. When I play the main clip, I see my nested movieclip, but it doesn't stop. When I play the movieclip independently, it stops at the right place. Do I need to insert more frames in the main timeline so that it registers the stop on the movieclip? I thought movieclips behave independently of the main timeline?
Much thanks.

Stopping Movie Clips - Please Help
I need to stop all movie clips within a parent movie clip. Normally, I would just address them by name - the problem here is, I don't always know the names.
I'm creating a class to be included in various projects by various artists. The class is going to be imported at root level and must stop all frames of all movie clips.
Is this possible?

Stopping All Movie Clips Via AS?
Using a "pause" button on the main timeline I'm trying to find a way to stop playback (pause) and then begin playback (resume) of not only the main timeline but all movie clips that are embedded on the main timeline.
Using simple stop() and play() statements attached to a button I can have the main timeline stop and resume, but I would like to stop any movie clips that are used within the Flash file. I'm guessing some kind of array that contains the names of all movie clips and then possibly a loop statement that tells each one to stop.
Any suggestions on how to make this happen?
Thanks!

Stopping And Starting A Movie
I have a Flash movie which is going to have several hotspots where when a user moves their mouse over a photo will be displayed (a different photo for each hotspot). http://www.get2thepoint.org/g2p/about_usx.php - at present there are just 2 hotspots (the orange and one other dot). I want the photo to stay till the user moves their mouse out. I tried putting a stop() on the last frame and a on (rollOut) { play(); } action on the button to get the movie back to frame 1. It worked unless the user moved their mouse out of the hotspot before the movie had finished playing in which case it all went pear shaped.
Any suggestions please? The fla file is at http://www.get2thepoint.org/g2p/resources/aboutus3.fla

Movie Keeps Stopping After 45 Clicks
Hi,
My flash movie keeps stopping after I've clicked 45 times and I've no idea why. There are lots of buttons on the page and when you click them they count how many times the buttons has been clicked and display this in a dynamic text box underneath the button. Not very exciting I know, but very useful at school. When I've clicked one button 45 times or a combination of buttons adding up to 45 the movie goes white (my buttons disappear). I'm quite new to flash so sorry if this is really basic.
Thanks,
Zoro

Stopping A Movie Automatically
I've been combing through the content on this site. All very good stuff for somebody as green as myself. Unfortunately, I've run into a hiccup that I can't find a solution for...
So, I have flash encoded movies playing inside the site. Once I hit a link that takes me to the frame, the movie loads and plays. Here’s my catch: Once I click on any other button to take me to any other part of the site (in the same SWF, just another part of the timeline), the movie audio can still be heard, so obviously the movie is still playing/loading in the background. Now, I fooled around with creating a function that would stop a list of movie files that are in the site if any of a list of buttons are pressed. This gives me null errors back when movies that aren’t being accessed are triggered to stop. Also, this is an extremely clunky way to tackle this.
My question is this: Is there a way I can create a function attached to the page the movie is on or the movie itself to tell it to stop playing when the user leaves the page. A function independent of any particular button or movie so that it can be used universally on additional pages with various movies without having a great deal of editing of the ActionScript?
Thanks so much in advance!
Logan

Stopping A Movie Clip
Okay, a more specific question in relation to the "clockwork" thread I posted earlier...
In my animation I have a movie clip that is constantly spinning, but is it possible to make a button stop the movie clip wherever the movie is at - then when the button is released, have the movie continue playing from where it stopped?
I know it's retarded, and it probably has a really simple explanation, but Flash eludes me when it becomes technical..
Your help would be MUCH appreciated...

Stopping A Movie Clip
I have made an infinite menu using the tutorial HERE, except i have replaced the contents with images and have placed into a larger flash document which will be a web page.
The problem i have is that wherever the mouse is on the page, the images keep scrolling and because the page is much larger than the example given, it scrolls extremely fast when the cursers over the other side of the page(which looks awful). Is there any action script i can use to stop the scrolling when i move the curser outside a given area?
Thanks for any help, you have an amazing site here

Stopping Movie Clip
Another relative newbie with a movieclip problem....
I have a movie clip ("snow") playing on the main stage using random numbers plus other assorted math to generate falling snow effect but I'm unable to stop it, even when the movie continues to the next scene.
Ideally I'd like to stop it using an onrelease command in a different layer, or alternatively stop it when the main movie reaches the first frame of the next scene.
The problem seems to be a duplicateMovieClip command attached to the frame that the movie clip sits in.
for (k=0; k<20; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}
Is this what's causing it to just keep going forever? If so, what command will stop it? Thanks.

Scaling Movie
Hi guys
I know a similar subject has been addressed elsewhere, but the other posts haven't helped.
I want to be able to resize a movie and have it scalable on the fly, rather than fitting exactly to a browser window etc. Embarrassingly I completed a Flash MX course yesterday in which I was shown how to do this and have already forgotten. The Publish Settings are at 100%x100%, but I'm sure there was something under Document Settings as well.

Scaling The Movie.
Hi!
Imagine the situation: my Flash object is a part of HTML
document. Now I move something in flash out of flip broad
by
setPropert("_rooot.FullMovie.Cell",_x,getProperty( "_rooot.FullMovie.Cell",_x)+500)
for example.
The size of the full clip is now grosse. So, I have to increase the size of the table where the flip is, to become the same scale of the element in flip like it was befor.(It's my purpuse)
getURL("javascript:WinResize(500,500)");
in HTML:
<script>
function WinResize(xxx,yyy){
MainTable.width=xxx;
MainTable.height=yyy;
}
</script>
where MainTable is the ID of the table with flash object.
After all this operations the flash object scales itself.
And move to the right. Whats the problem?
I try resize _root.FullMovie and move it but it's very hard
to find the right values of parameters. And I find it not elegant. Please help!

MC Changes Movie Scaling
I have a swf(originally made 750X400 and published to 100%X100% with Salign). The movie seems to play just fine until I click one certain button.
The movie is in Japanese -- so the button in question is the top button on the far left (there are two buttons on the left-- this one has the word "and" in the text -- if that helps).
When I click on this "and" button a smaller swf is supposed to play in the top-right corner. The second swf was made at 595X317 and it is positioned so that the entire second swf is within the original movie.
But when I click on the "and" button the second movies loads up in the right corner but the whole movie loses it's 100% scale. It seems to bring the entire move back to original size 750X400.
Does anyone know what is causeing this rescaling? How can I get the second swf to play without readjusting the original movie 100% scaling? I am using Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX.
Thanks,
Matt
