Completely Stop at a Specific Frame

[W00tbeer1]

Hello there,

I am very new to Flash and I am making a little 30 second clip just to fool around with Flash.

Now at the end of my film I just want everything to stop (if possible, once a specific frame is hit move to another frame.)

I've heard that you could use ActionScript to perform this but I really have no clue

If you guys can help me that'll be great :-)

just put this as a frame action

stop();

You can place the code on any frame....

hope that helps

Yes I have tried clicking on the frame and then hitting F9 and putting that in, but it stops at the beginning.

Here is what I have been working on just incase you would like to see:

Hi Wootbeer,

Thats because you have entered the code into key frame 1.

Just highlight a frame, say frame 10, in your timeline.
Now hit F7, so that particular frame becomes a keyframe.
Now with that keyframe selected, open the ActionsPanel, and enter the code for that frame.

Hope that helps

Thank you! Here is my current result:

But I have one more question: I currently have the "gotoAndStop(1000);" command on frame 1. Is it possible to do that command once the flash file is opened before frame 1 (if you understand what I'm saying) like "on open go to frame 1000".

Thanks.

Hi Wootbeer...

If you place the action:
"gotoAndStop(1000);"
on the first frame, and you have say 1500 frames after that....that's exactly what the swf will do.
