Another pause MC problem :(
Posted in xn--kfs74mzzid01b.com edit by jane on January 7th, 2009
Sorry for asking about this yet again, but I did do a search and after going through 6 pages of posts i still can't get a .swf to pause. I am a noob so I prolly missed something simple.
On the main stage I have a layer that has an empty movieclip in it called "empty_MC", which is the container. On another layer I have the action script with this code:
empty_MC.loadMovie("fg.swf");
That all works well, the movie "fg.swf" loads up into the container "empty_MC" and plays fine.
I then have a button on the main stage called "PauseBtn" with the code:
on (release) {
_root.empty_MC.stop();
}
I have also tried other forms of the path like : _root.empty_MC.fg.swf.stop() but I just can't seem to get it right. Nothing has worked so far, fg.swf just continues to play through. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you :)
thx again for your help.
The movie fg.swf is playing inside the moviclip empty_MC. There will be several diferent .swf being played in that emp movieclip at different periods, one at a time.
heh, I hope I understood your question correctly :)
thx again
thx again :)
You need to tell each clip individually that they need to stop. IE
_root.empty_MC.someClip.stop(). In this case it looks like you didnt even name the instance of the animating clip. If you need a quick and dirty way of stopping all the clips on the main timeline without naming them all, you can do something like this:
on (release) {
for (var i in _root.empty_MC) {
var prop = _root.empty_MC[i];
if (typeof prop == "movieclip") {
prop.stop ();
}
}
}
I dont recommend coding like that; when you get more advanced you will see better ways..but for what you are doing it may be fine. You will at least need to learn to name your movieclip instances and reference them directly though.
