I'm working with Flash CS3 and I've just finished a nice animation. I want it to freeze on the final frame and not keep repeating over and over but I can't find where the option for that is. Any help is greatly appreciated.
look up actionscript stop command. You need to make a new keyframe at the end, insert the code. I think it's something like ;stop() but I'm not entirely sure. It will for sure be all over the internet, and in the help docs...
It's part of actionscript. Flash actually has an actionscript library built in to make it really easy to add functions like the stop(); command to your animation.
Thanks very much. I'm a flash novice and I was never really sure what actionscript was. I'll probably be looking into that more to what new stuff I can do with it. I suppose I would use that to insert a hyperlink in the flash too right?
Yes to add a url into flash you you need a small actionscript. This is for actionscript 2.If you use AS3 let me know and I'll post the script. You need to set the instance name of your button to "mybutton".You can change this value but be sure you have same value into the script. mybutton.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://digitalpoint.com","_blank"); } Code (markup):
I highly suggest looking more into actionscript. The possibilities are endless with the things you can do with it. From making a simple animation to the most complex website or even game. LOOK INTO IT!!
