Stopping a Function "init" ?

Hello!

Im working on a personal animation using lots of different action scripts and effects I have found on the net. I want the animation all to be based within 1 scene.

On my main "time line" Frame (20) I have a script for snow to fall,

init = function () {
//This is where the rest of the script is.
}
init();

The main "time line" then stops on frame (50) with a "stop();" where their is also a movie clip that contains the next part of the animation.

It's within this movie clip that I want to be able to tell the original

init = function () {

To stop!

I have been trying things like this but I really dont know what else to do other than making another scene. ):

onEnterFrame;
_root.init = function (stop) {
}

or

onEnterFrame;
_root.init;
stop;

And a whole load of others! I'm totaly off the mark on this and could really do with some help.

Cheers Guys and Girls!

try:
delete init;
on frame 50

Hi Kortex, Thanks for looking,

I have tried that but it doesnt seem to work, I have attached a copy of a .fla that has the snow action on frame 1 and now the "delete init;" action on frame 50, Ideally I'm gonna need to be able to stop the init function from inside a movie clip but getting it to work on the main timeline would be a good start! (:

Thanks again, JOe

Hi,

You need to delete each individual piece of snow, not just the function. Place this script where you want the snow to go away:

code:

---

snowflakes = 100; 

for (i=0; i<snowflakes; i++) { 

removeMovieClip ("snow"+i); 

} 

---

I would suggest either to put the as inside a movieclip on your stage and remove this movieclip at frame 50 (just let it's timeline go from 1 to 49). Or, better, attach the snow movieclips not to root but to some other movieclip on stage (call it 'winter').
I think I'm right to say you only have to remove this movieclip winter to get rid of all the snow. Which means: let the timeline with the winter clip stop on frame 49. Or do it more elegant, make this movieclip using actionscript on frame 1 (something like createemptymovieclip) and delete it on frame 49.
I'm not sure though if some onEnterFrame keeps running as a ghost process after the movieclip has been deleted, but I think not.

Thanks very much too warpdesign and Louis van Laarhoven.
