Scrolling background will not stop

Mar 2, 2012 8:43 AM

Tags: #background #scrolling #flash #stop

I am trying to make a horzontial flash scrolling background and I cant seem to get it to stop at the last frame.

 


animator=createEmptyMovieClip('animator',1);
bg_1=animator.attachMovie('bg_mc','bg_1',1);
bg_2=animator.attachMovie('bg_mc','bg_2',1);
bg_1._x=-bg_1.width/2;
bg_1._x=-bg_2.width/2;
speed=1;
lockerWidth=550;
animator.onEnterFrame=function(){
          bg_1._x-=speed;
          bg_2._x-=speed;
          if(bg_1._x<=-bg_1._width)bg_1._x=lockerWidth;
          if(bg_2._x<=-bg_2._width)bg_2._x=lockerWidth;
}



I have a attached a ms doc showing how it looks in flash

    when do you want to terminate that loop?

     

    (and, does your 5th line of code contain a typo?)

    what's the name of the movieclip that you don't want to loop?

     

    (and, bg_1 doesn't exist once you create bg_2, so if you don't have a typo, you have an error in logic.)

    bg_mc is your linkage id.  if you want all your attached bg_mc instances to stop on frame 30, attach the following to frame 30 of your movieclip with linkage id = "bg_mc":

     

    stop()

    are you trying to stop if from looping (if so, attach a screen shot that shows its timeline and the actions panel with the stop() in frame 30) or are you trying to stop it from moving?

     

    and, fix the code you showed:

     

    animator=createEmptyMovieClip('animator',1);
    bg_2=animator.attachMovie('bg_mc','bg_2',1);
    speed=1;
    lockerWidth=550;
    animator.onEnterFrame=function(){
              bg_2._x-=speed;
              if(bg_2._x<=-bg_2._width){

    bg_2._x=lockerWidth;
    }

    }

    I put a link to the original .fla file in some previous messages but it has three main images beg. middle. end  and I want it to stop on the last image which is frame 30. I am very new at flash and I am not sure how to get it to stop at the last frame. So yes i want it to scroll then stop. here is a example of what i am trying to do.

    is the problem your sound that's not stopping?  if so, assign its sync property to stream.

    I don't think this can be fixed no matter what I try nothing works. Its not the sound that is looping its the image itself. dont worry about it , its a hopeless situation
