Looping?

deadfingers

Alright im making a new banner for this site and its a flash banner and it has like these "doors" that open up sideways and then it shows this "computer chip" like thing wit these electric surge things moving around on it. Ok so i need to know how to make it were after the doors open then stay open (in other words teh doors MC to stop once it opens) and have the chip movie clip wit the surge things to keep looping over and over. thanx

click the loop button.

or go into the movie clip to do the chip thing and don't put the 'stop' action script in, but in the main movie just put the stop at the end that should work

Chip thing? i know what u mean other wise, i did that. i added the MC to the scene and it didnt have a stop(); action therefore it didnt stop and it looped

Okay, well it's a bit late...so the banner is probably already finished...but do you know about the libary? To go into it...click on WINDOW, LIBARY. When in here click on create new, and select Movie Clip. Create the computer chip in here...and create the doors in a seperate movie clip. In the movie clip with the doors, go to the last frame and go into the actions menu. Click on Movie Control and then 'stop playing movie'.

Now go back to scene 1. (what your in in when you open flash) and copy the Door movie clip and chip movie clip into scene one. Make sure you put the two different movie clips in two different layers, and make the doors the top layer. This should work.

lmao, well yeah im probably the one who uses flash the most on this site as u can tell by the amount of posts in this section, but yeah thanx anyways. The way i did it, and probably faster is that on the doors MC i added a stop(); action then i put the chip MC and the doors MC on 2 different layers and voila instant loops
