Anyone here that knows/works with Flash (specifically actionscript)?

[ImmortalDragon]

I have a .swf file and a button. I put the button in a keyframe and I need the .swf to play when the user clicks the button. I do not want the .swf to loop nor the scene to loop. I have no experience with actionscript (I assume you have to use actionscript to do this), how do I do this?

you can look online for some tutorials, my skills are rusty but you can try:

button_btn.onRelease = function()

{

test_mc.loadMovie(“movie.swf”);

}

this is assuming your button is called "button_btn" and you have a blank movie clip named "test_mc" and your swf is called "movie.swf

hope this helps

also if you dont want it to loop i think there must be a stop frame inserted at the end of the original swf, i could be wrong tho

Assuming the movie is inert until someone presses the button.. and assuming that you have the movie held at frame 1 waiting for the button to be pressed..

make a layer, and in the first frame put a keyframe. Highlight that keyframe and bring up the action script window and write

stop()

Highlight the button symbol, open the action script window, put in the following script

on (release) {gotoAndPlay(2);}

gotoandplay will move the movie to the frame number you put between the () .. I put in 2 for demo.. you put in whatever frame your content begins on.

If you don't want the movie to loop, go to the final frame, put a keyframe on an empty layer, highlight it, open action script and write

stop()

Or, let it loop back and it will stop at frame 1 again after loading the button up.

Simple as that.
