    Movie pauses for some reason...

    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on creating a few animations to train some employees that are out in the field. What I plan on doing is creating some .swf files that are all movies within a web page. It will be (when I'm done) a movie that has a stop action in the 2nd frame, but then the user can link to other key frames where other .swf files have been imported. I've had some of my peers here in my office test this out, but a couple of the animations have had a mysterious "pause" right in the middle of the move. For security reasons I can't post those files up here, but I created another demo file that does the same thing. It's only happened with one user, but it's got me worried that when I distribute this it will happen with other people.

    The way the animation is set up I have the user pressing "play" (which links to the next key frame and plays) and then it plays until the next frame with a stop action. At that point they should get a button that says "next." The movie pauses prior to that point, which will leave the user stumped.

    Can anyone help?

    I've attached the demo .fun file, and here is a link to the demo .html page

    Oh, and I almost forgot, I'm using KM 5.6.3

    Thanks!

    From what i see the button in frame 6 does not have a gotoAnd Play comand. Its an emty button. And the button in frame 7 could be removed.
    and add stop(); to frame 6

    Any programming language is at its best before it is implemented and used.

    Replace the command on your button on frame 2 with a play command rather than gotoandplay. Then add a stop on your movie stage 1 end frame. Add a second button on this frame and attatch the play command to this button. When you've done, I recomend that you create a projector file, that way your recipients should have all they need to run the file as you intended.

    Oh yeah, I forgot that last button was a dead button... I didn't really need to put it in my demo...

    anyways, thanks for the tips. I'll try the suggestions, and I didn't even think of making a projector file... duh, I'm good at overlooking the obvious.

    Thanks again!
    Dave
