Flash Problem - Please Help!

[joshfolan]

I'm having trouble finalizing the flash movie I'm working on as an intro for my firm website. Regardless of whether or not the flash player is set to loop, the movie starts back over when it hits the last frame (frame 90), which is obviously not what I want. I am a little weak with my actionscript, which I am sure is the problem. My objective is to have the movie load, play to frame 90, then wait for the viewer to click on the Enter button on the right side of the stage.

I've uploaded the FLA file to my server. If anyone could be so kind to take a look at it and let me know how to accomplish this, please do. Thanks so much!

put a stop (); command in the last movie frame and for the button, do the following (don't mind my syntax, i dont really work with flash often)

Code: Select all

on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay("secondscene");
}

or you can gotoAndStop, depending. Might make it easier for you to label frames too...just something i do to help.

Enjoy!

I tried adding stop commands to frame 90 on both the button layer and the action layer, but the movie still loops. Very frustrating.

The updated file is in the same location.

do you have your actions on the same layer as your scene? I normally put mine in their own layer just to keep things organized.

but yeah..the stop command should have an absolute stop on the movie clip...mind uploading your .fla to look @?

Absolutely. The file is on my server here:

The stop command is in both the Actions layer (a seperate and final layer) and the layer the button is located on. Totally befuddled.

Each of the movie clips in your file have independent timelines, Just because the parent timeline stops doesn't mean that all the other will. You can control the mc from another timeline e.g.

_root.myclip.stop()

or put stop actions at the end of each mc.

Nice. Makes sense. Thank you!
