heres my problem. I have two movies ( A and B) playing continously in a scene ( looping). After a few seconds, I would like movie A to stop ( freeze) while movie B continues on.
How do i do this? I tried putting a “stop” action on movie A but it stops everything else including movie B.
You could add a counter in frame 1 and do counter++; in the last frame and at the same time check if the counter has reached the wanted value and then stop();
if (counter>10) {
stop();
}
else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
OR, if you want it to run for a certain time, add this script on a separate layer:
start = getTimer();
while (start+xxxx>now) {
now = getTimer();
}
and then tell the movie to stop when the while-script is done.
(xxxx is the time in milliseconds)
