Play a Movieclip only once

Dikkesnoek

Hello,

I've tried the different methods on a Movieclip object. I have 10 sprites
and want to stop it there (this one is transparent). I also tried the
event handler but this didn't work.

First I defined:

explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)
explosionMovieClip:setPosition(-100, -100) -- Off screen.
explosionMovieClip:stop()
stage:addChild(explosionMovieClip)

At a collission (onBeginContact) I do:

explosionMovieClip:gotoAndPlay(1)

The movie is starting over and over again.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi, tries to stop it in the selected frame:

movieclip:setStopAction(numberframe)

Hi,

Thanks, this didn't work:

explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)
explosionMovieClip:setPosition(-100, -100) -- Off screen.
explosionMovieClip:stop()
explosionMovieClip:setStopAction(10)
stage:addChild(explosionMovieClip)

and this didn't work too:

explosionMovieClip:gotoAndPlay(1)
explosionMovieClip:setStopAction(10)

At every collision, I need to restart the 10 frames Movieclip.
So it starts with a first sprite and it ends at frame 10 with
a empty transparent sprite. I think that you could do it by
checking the array but I thought that it could be simpler.

Regards,

Try this:

explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)
explosionMovieClip:setPosition(-100, -100)
explosionMovieClip:setStopAction(10 * frameMultiplier)
stage:addChild(explosionMovieClip)

That works great, thanks. Forgot that you have to
think in videoframes.

@Dikkesnoek what actually makes a loop is this line
explosionMovieClip:setGotoAction(10 * frameMultiplier, 1)

which says when you reach frame 10 * frameMultiplier then go to frame 1

just so you know
