How would i stop a frame from moving so i can use multiple buttons in the program?

[g0rmi]

@MrReaos select the frame you want to stop, then press F9 (or right click the frame and press > actions). The "actions-panel" will then pop up for that frame, now type; "stop();" (without the quotes). Good luck :)

[JustFullofGames]

@g0rmi How do I make a Start Menu that will pick plenty of characters and start the animation like a collaboration animation?

[g0rmi]

@adikk123 That's an option yeah :) and also you could make a gotoAndStop(1); in the last layer, so it goes back to first frame and then you can click play. There's really tons of opportunities :)

[dialnick]

1) you dont know proper english ( and i am not english either to say that)

2) your FONT in notepad IS HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE

[g0rmi]

yes im aware of that, but by using a great size, everyone can see it, aight?

[dialnick]

no we cannot see since you only see PART OF THE F*** word constantly.. not that it matters ur tutorial didnt help me.. i was searching for something else i already knew what u were doing here..

(i am looking on how to start and stop a sound using actionscript regardless of the timeline)

[g0rmi]

@dialnick okay, hope you find what your looking for then.

[AaronPetrungaro]

how can i make it play sound and stop playing sound?

[g0rmi]

i think there is several ways to do that. I dont use sounds enough to know the code really :) but maybe you can do something like volume = 0... somthing.. I dont know :D

[inquestFLASH]

one question!

i did the play button and made actions to it

i try do the same with with the stop button and tells me that actions cant be applied!

does each button have to be on a seperate layer?or can they be on the same layer but on a different keyframe?

thansk!

[g0rmi]

yes, you can put both buttons in the same layer, but you have to make sure that all the buttons appear in all the frames :)

please reply if its not working.

[BFG12043]

whats the code if i want the button to work with a keyboard input, ie. ENTER? i vaguely remenmber part of the code from character movement, but i cant get it to work :S

[g0rmi]

well, i dont know the code, but i remember ive tried it before. Im sure the code is linked somewhere here on youtube =)

[Roura4Me]

THANKYU SO MUCH! >:D

[g0rmi]

haha ya welcome :D thank you all of you guys, more questions are welcome, i think ill soon begin to make another tutorial :D

[MrAbbe800]

but how to do a button that only play one time? :/

[g0rmi]

you mean like in the start of a movie?.. in the first frame you give the frame the as:

stop();

and make a button, then you give the button the as:

on(release){

gotoAndPlay(2);

}

what is does, is that when you release you mouse on the start button, it will go to frame 2 (the next frame) and play ;)

[auriceli411]

With CS3 and CS4, when you're opening up a new document, be sure to chose either an ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0 document so that the code will work.

(In CS3 and CS4, documents are default ActionScript 3.0. ActionScript 3.0 uses different coding, so that's why it usually doesn't work.)

If you've got a project open, and you need to change the document's ActionScript, go to File > Publish Settings

Click the "Flash" tab, and in the dropdown for "Script" change the ActionScript to 1.0 or 2.0

[g0rmi]

yes thats right :)

[g0rmi]

your welcome, i allways like to help =)

[justmemac]

hey thanks a lot!

[g0rmi]

your welcome m8 :D

[maplegeek21]

i always get **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on(release) {

gotoAndPlay(1);

}

[g0rmi]

hmm.. try make it all over.

[zany1616]

how do u make a play buton so that it doesn't play automatically at the beginning

[g0rmi]

hmm... not sure what you mean, but in the first frame you can open actions (F9) and put in "stop();" that should do it ;)

[mariutoo]

nevermind wht i sayd before, they works, only open the description and Copy and paste it, it will work, i promise

[g0rmi]

okay, yeah it works :)

[mariutoo]

i does´nt work

[mariutoo]

can i use this for flash 8??

[g0rmi]

yup thats what i use :)

[g0rmi]

[mariutoo]

[pivotmaster0213]

[Hpyrr328]

do u know how to make a music stop? like i have a music that i cut it half way so that i could put in the other music, but when i played my video it kept on playing the music that i have cutted :O what happened?

[theCounterForce]

you have to set the sync to stream

[Kakarot1436]

yah that happened to me too

[BoNEZ0330]

god damn my flash sucks im doing the same thing as you but it keeps highlighting every frame on edit

[combohero]

Because you need to lock the first one :) and after you need to have the one you are going to higligth in a layer by it self :)

(yeah i know my english sucks)

[g0rmi]

hmm, sounds a bit weird...

[777pivotman777]

ty so much u no the stuff

[g0rmi]

your welcome =)

[g0rmi]

haha, ty so much :D

[g0rmi]

the most easy will be to make 2 layers... 1 music on each

[darkmasterofssbb]

this is not what i was looking for um

can u help me i need to know how to make music stop whene i want it to (with action script)

like a sprtie movie i have one music going then it stop becuase someone dies and there is sad music can u help me do this PLEASE

[g0rmi]

specially if your going to make more music close to eachother

[Juggernaughty824]

I tried your method, but it's not working... I only got till the button-edit part... When I highlight the play button, and Click the Action panel out, it says that "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it..."

[g0rmi]

sry about that... hmm, try open a new document and start from scratch, if its still not working, tell me and i hope i can help

[Juggernaughty824]

Nevermind... I found out the problem... it's because I was using AS 3.0... After I changed it to AS 2.0, it works!!!

[g0rmi]

ok :)

[g0rmi]

try make it all over again, i think you maybe didnt convert it to a button, idk.

[SuspiciousChickens]

yeah me too does anyone know how to make it work?

[g0rmi]

what's not working? :)

[sneebymcbob]

can you make a button that actually starts the movie, and not just play after pausing? thx!

[g0rmi]

yes, thats even more easy to do :)

this would be the code to type in the "play at first frame" button:

on(release){

gotoAndPlay(1);

}

[sneebymcbob]

thx! and i love the song, i added it to my blog. :D

[g0rmi]

ya welcome =)

let me know if u need help with anything else

[sneebymcbob]

snackfood! and i love the song. idk if i told you that already, but it rox. :D

'they're not gonna get us!" "oh yes we will!! prepare for deathage!!"

[g0rmi]

haha i sure like the song too :P well not so much anymore, because ive heard it too much ^^

[askebengtson]

[Squirrelie102]

It didnt work for me , all the button did was move. It stopped my flash on the first frame n i "tried" to click my button but nothing happen...

I'm so confuse..

[g0rmi]

hmm... what did you type in the start button?...

and for that case in the stop button...?

[g0rmi]

[crizelajoy]

thank you for teaching!:P

[g0rmi]

[mister777888]

Hey man this realy helpt me out.

But can you teach me how to make a menu before your flash menu starts?

So that you can choose to start the movie

or that you can choose to see the credits.

I hope you understand me :)

And if you do I hope you can explain it to me
