Movie freezes at Frame 16001 ?

[HyperGumba]

It is kinda important for me how to fix this, because it is the second episode of DeDeDe´s Minions and I am some kind of proud on it.

Problem: The last scene of the movie (ya,I know working with scenes sucks dicks but I wanted to try) which was supposed to be an easteregg works fine when testing this single scene. But when I test the whole movie and it comes to the scene it works well,but when it comes to around the middle of the scene (around frame 230 from the scene and exactly frame 16001 (I saw that with the Bandwith Profiler) when testing the movie) it freezes. But there is no Actionscript around 16001 and I can´t solve the problem yet.

I make DDDM2 with AS 2 and 24fps. Please help I´m begging you guys.

Try and cut the frames of the last scene and paste them into a new empty MC. Drag the MC to the frame and use a stop AS. That should work!

Flash has 16000 as the limit, so you'll cut the frames of the scene, which will remove some frame. When you put them in the MC, Flash doesn't count those frames.

Try if that works.

Wow,I will try,thanks for the quick reply :D

[HyperGumba]

Well,okay now I have less frames but the stop() doesn´t seem to work that good...now the MV repeats infinite times. Doesn´t a function like sleep() like in C++ exist in Flash?

Just put another stop on the last frame inside the movieclip.

Correct.

1 quiz point to your team. And... the golden star! :D

[HyperGumba]

I´m sorry,I forgot to mention that I have some scenes behind that one and I wanted to go to the next scene when the MV is over. Maybe some kind of "gotoNextScene when MV finishes"?

[mayoarm11]

u can switch scenes using

gotoAndPlay(1,"scene_name");

that goes to scene_name, and plays from frame 1.

I'm assuming u know how scenes work. Also, I'm pretty sure it's that way, but if not i may have switched them around, so it might be

gotoAndPlay("scene_name",1);

nextScene();

or

_root.nextScene();

He's gonna put it in an MC, so that'd be:
_root.nextScene()
on the last frame in your movieclip.

Nah,still doesn´t work. Sure that it´s AS2? Or any other suggestions?

[HyperGumba]

Anyone there? I want to solve the problem as fast as possible.

I thought Flash had a 16K timeline limit without going into another scene or using a stopped movie clip on a single frame with action script telling it to go to the next frame after that movie clip ends?

[Chaz]

You will just have to make more scenes into movieclips. In theory if you have 15 scenes you could end up with a movie using 15 frames ...

This. I'm afraid I don't know the AS for doing this, however, this is how you get movies to be incredible running time lengths and how most collabs are done in order to fit it within the frame limit.

it isn't as, just cut the all the frames from a scene and put them into a movie clip :)

[Neo-13]

You do need AS to connect them though, although it is very simple.

A simple nextFrame() would do the trick ;D

[Sunrie]

And that helps me! I was looking for the actual script and couldn't find it *L*

[SK8ninja]

16000...and to think the DS game Flipbook has a limit of 30. LOL

Hmm...just tried this in an animation I'm already working on... in the root timeline, I placed the MC with AS "stop();" on it. Then inside the movie clip, on the last frame, I put AS "nextFrame()" and it only replayed the movie clip. What's the trick?

If I'm correct you need to get rid of the "stop();"

It would be

_root.nextFrame();

You would need to use _root. because it is inside of a movieclip (and it would work without the ; but its a good habit to use those)

[Archon68]

Uhh... Yeah. Scenes DO suck.

Just make a separate MC for each scene, and use a different frame on the _root for each. For each frame, use a stop(); action, and at the last frame in each scene MC, use a _root.nextFrame(); action.

You guys rock, thanks. I'm not a big AS guy and really only know enough to make buttons go to specific areas, preloaders, and really basic things

[Yambanshee]

all you need is on the first frame of all the MCs are _root.stop() and on the last frame _root.play() :D. If you need preloader help, pm me ;)
