Pause and resume movieclip animation ?

Paulo777 · March 2018

Hii
I'm having a mind-blowing issue. I tried to 'pause' and 'resume' a movie clip animation and I wonder if there is a way to do this and if this exists on Movieclip class? Because I tried everything and nothing worked! Absolutely nothing! There is few methods like play, stop, setGotoAction, etc and nothing of it was suitable and useful for my needs... I tried to set a goto action, it plays constantly, but if I don't set a goto action and set this later it simply doesn't works... this remain static. If a set a goto action and stop action, when I play, It simply plays one frame... don't understand that once I set a goto action, it should understand that it is inside a loop, not only a single frame... if I set a goto action then play also nothing works... Will I actually have to create my own animation method using enterframe events? Because I simply can't get it to work with movieclip.

Thanks in advance

num = MovieClip:getFrame(frame)

MovieClip:stop()

MovieClip:gotoAndPlay(num)

Hii @oleg thanks for your attention! I'll try it when I get home

Hello! @oleg Now it worked! I've set a boolean flag initially to false and when It gets to the place to play, set the flag to true that it may not enter and play every frame

--init function
movieclip:setgotoaction(100,1)
movieclip:stop
self.play = false
................
 
--enter frame event
 
if not self.play then
	self.movieclip:gotoAndPlay(1)
	self.play = true
end

Thanks over again for the help
