Automatic stopping of the movie clip

Uncategorized

Hello, here is what i have:

I have a movie clip of a person talking( with loop at the end of the last frame it goes back creating an illusion of continuous talk)

I also have a sound layer where an actual sound is being played

on the third layer i have an animated movie clip with text slowly aopearing from the bottom of the screen and dissapearing on he top. here are NO problems, just to give you a picture.

what i want is that

when the sound has ended playing, or the movie clip with text has ended as well - to stop animation of the speaking head.
is that possible?

please help

at the end of the sound clip just target the animated person with a stop, as in

talkingclip.stop();

you can do the same with the scrolling text - just make sure you target the movieclip you want to stop from the end of the sound or scrolling text.

strange i have added the following line to the end of the scrolling text,

paul.stop();

but it still “talks”

You may have to add a timeline reference. For example, if the movieclip “paul” sits on the main timeline you can use _root.paul.stop(); or if “paul” resides on a timeline that is one movieclip out from where you have the code you can use _parent.paul.stop(); if it’s on the same timeline you could even use this.paul.stop();

are you familiar with the targeting tool? I find that helps a lot for figuring out where movieclips are in relation to where I am writing my code.
