I think someone should make Pimps Quest 2 in his memory.

All aboard the lucky thread!

If I finally get past this, I'm giving you a major credit to my work.

To clarify, I'm not getting error messages, the button just doesn't do anything visible.

No, no, no. Believe me. (which I'm sure you'll have no problem doing considering that I'm incapable of figuring this out) all the MCs are on the main timeline. Super simple. I really don't understand what's going wrong. Your code seems fine and I put the button on the main timeline and applied the code to it. No dice.

Aha! Of course! The way I have my button set up is...
I have a MC with one frame containing a button. I applied your code to the button inside the movieclip. Where do I apply it to so that it works and is also controlled by the button?

But you said you wanted to pause all mc's..?

Just replace the code in that button with what I posted above if that's still the case.

Yes I do, I'm sorry for confusing you. I was trying to pause one just to see if I could.

Yeah, this should do it:

on(release) {
for (i in _root) {
_root[i].stop();
}
}

Put that on the button.

Thanks but, it doesn't work. Should it even if it doesn't specify what to stop?

What I'm doing right now is...
-I have a movieclip with one frame; In that frame is a button with the AS code
on(release){
_root.BounceChain1.stop();
}
-BounceChain1 is the instance name for a movie clip I want to pause.

Can I do this easily with a button?

This probably has a simple answer but, how would one make a button to cycle through background music tracks. I've seen this done many times before but I'm new to flash so need help. Thanks for any assistance.

I was wondering is it was possible to stop all movieclips (in either a frame or the whole animation) with a button. I am making a pause/play button that stops everything (including movieclips) but it's not possible to add script to the down frame of a button. Any help would be appreciated.

Darn, that's what I was trying to avoid. Thanks anyway.

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to pause all movieclips in a movie (or in one frame) by pressing a button or key. If there is, then please enlighten me with your knowledge.

Yep it worked.

Hitbox sounds good! Inform me, I command!
Yes please tell me what to do for this hitbox idea. I can think up a concept (invisible box over spikes that when the car moves over, it plays). Can I get any actionscript for this?

And from there it's really easy to implement my code.
If you can't, then that's your problem and I can't help you with that.

Oh my, I was talking about my code when I said that. What I meant was that it moves to the right but I cant get it to start playing.

Hey! I think you got the idea! I just need your script with it moving a bit faster... say _x + 20; and I need it so that it only moves while the right arrow key is being held down. This is great now I need to combine the codes I guess.

I suppose your code is an onEnterFrame clipevent which just ups your _x, amiright?
If so, your code could look something like this:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x += 1;
if(_x>400){
_root.play();
}
}

And DO NOT just respond with: "It didn't work"

Okay then here is my code. It's identical to the tutorial so... here!

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x = this._x + 15;

}
}

It works fine for what it does, but I need more.

Hello, I have a question/problem. I just viewed Learn Basic Movment(http://www.newgrounds.com/portal /view/435799) and I want to Flash something that when the movie clip object gets all the way to the right side of the Flash, the next frames start playing. Does anyone know how I might do this or have a tutorial or anything that might prove helpful? I would love if anyone could help me with this.
Thanks,
snyperscope

Who here can help? I can not upload my banner/header for my profile page. I made it on Flash and used the 770 pixel width, and 40-100 pixel height requirements and have double checked the dimensions twice and it says 770 x 100 so that should be alright. When I published my work, I published it as a GIF and a JPEG. I can post the GIF with no problems but I do not want to use that because of the bad quality. I click in the JPEG pic and post it but the effect is as if I refreshed the page. I dosen't work. Has anyone experienced this before or knows what to do? I would be very happy if I got any help. I want to fix this ASAP because my banner says 2007.

Thanks for the help everyone! I'll be sure to test and try to use the working codes here. I was not so sure I would get a serious response.

Hello! Right now I am making a Flash quiz game. I keep encountering this problem with the Actionscript codes I am using. I am working with Flash CS3 using Actionscript 2.0 (will do 3.0 if necessicary). What I am trying to make happen is that when someone presses the Up Arrow Key it goes to the next frame (267). I get errors saying "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances" and "Syntax Error". Can someone help me with this?

I agree.
