How to stop the animation at a certain frame?

[Coyke]

Well, as the title already says, how can I stop my animtation at a certain frame. Is it only possible due setting up a timer, or can I also enter a code that stops at a certain frame?

And when I stop the animation, will my buttons still be able to get clicked?

Greetings,

You can use a command stop(); in the frame you want to stop. In case of buttons - it depends on how you have implemented them. Try and post some code if there occur problems with buttons.

Thanks for the usefull reply, the problem was that i forgot the add a new keyframe that's why I couldnt make it in the frame I wanted.

I will have between 15 and 20 buttons that need to be able to get clicked when my animation is stopped, I first imported them to my library, then placed everything where I wanted it to be. Then created them as a Symbol (Selected Button!). Then I created instance names for every single of them.

With the code that's downstairs I want to let my animation go to frame 200 when I click on the button "Middenknop" while the animation is paused. But now i get this error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via  een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.
     at Animatie2_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

Here's the code I am currently using:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

//---Middenknop eigenschap verandering---\\

Middenknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, basisClick);

function basisClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay(200);
}

Please tell it which object would go to  frame 200 .For example, your animation is named " mc_Anim ", I would write it like this: mc_Anim.gotoAndStop(200).

Here is what need to do in general:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void {
     if (currentFrame == 200) stop();
}

And when I stop the animation, will my buttons still be able to get clicked?

If the button is on stage on the frame - it will be available to interactions.
