LoadMovieNum

Hello,

I used the LoadMovieNum command to load an external .swf, however I am unsure how to make it play. I tried a “play” action and a “gotoandplay(1)” action, but no luck.

Can anyone let me know how to -

1.) get the .swf to play once loaded? my current script is -

[indent]on (release) {loadMovieNum(“walls.swf”, 1),
[/indent][left]2.) tell the .swf that is loaded to stop on a specific frame?[/left]
[left] [/left]
[left]Any help is greatly appreciated. [/left]

Ok, got the .swf to load and play.

The only issue now is to have the .swf only play to a specific frame.

In other words, one button will play the .swf to a certain point. Then, another button will continue playing the .swf to another specific point.

Again, any and all help is appreciated.

Ok, managed to get the .swf to play using the script -

}
on (release) {loadMovieNum(“walls.swf”, 1),
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

the .swf plays to a specific frame (i have a “stop” action on the frame), but now I need to get the next button to continue the same .swf file (‘walls’) to another specific point…if anyone can help before it takes me years to try and solve it, that would be awesome.

Best,

I was interested in your topic but you seem to have gone in a different direction. I have been trying to get the movie to continue playing to a specified frame after a click, rather then jumping there and then stopping or using a stop action in the desired frame because the movie should continue playing until there has been a click. I can’t figure it out, so if you have any suggestions let me know. FYI if you use a goToAndPlay(next frame) the next frame it will continue along the timline until each reaches another stop action. Check out the other pausing animation topics, and there should be an example of a on(press) stop; and an on(press) play;

Thanks emolen, I’ll look for those threads. If I understand correctly, you want your movie to play to a specific frame once the button has been clicked, then you want it to stop without a “stop” action when the button is clicked again?

I got the movie to load and play when the button is clicked, however the .sfw file is not playing at the same frame speed that it should play at when it is loaded. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
