Stop timer

[berzins]

Please help to find solution. I can't find the answer, have posted this question here in different places, nobody can tell it to me.

HOW TO STOP ANIMATION IN ex. 30 SECOND

I used to write like this:

setTimeout(

    function()

    { stop(); },

    30000

    );

It doesn't works anymore with AdobeAnimate. I don't understand - what happened.
It is extremelly important for me because i can't finish web banners with AdWords technical specification. There should be stop in 30 seconds.

Version with "this.stop()" doesn't work for me. I can't place it in 30 second phisically - i need a timer to set in the first frame. And in any case it doesn't stop movie clips  inside - they still rolling.

stop(); method will stop the current timeline only, if you have an animation inside some movie clip then you have to write the mc name:

setTimeout(

    function()

    {mcName.stop(); },

    30000

    );

And if you're animating the movie clips by a code then you've to stop that code, I mean if you're using some EnterFrame loop, you've to remove it after 30 seconds.

Sorry ... but this function (setTimeout...) doesnt work at all. No way - with or without mcName

Well I am actually still using Flash CC, wait maybe someone else can help you with that case.

I can give you another solution if you want to try it:

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(30000, 1);

myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);

function onTimer(e:TimerEvent):void

{

stop();

};

myTimer.start();

you can use a timer event instead of setTimeout()

Thank you...
But unfortunatelly it doesnt work too.
Animation even doesnt start. Just blank screen appears when exporting movie.

You're working on HTML5 canvas I think setTimeout & timer event will not work..

try:

timer = setInterval(this.stop(), 30000);

This just stopped animation at the frame where it stands. Thats all. It doesnt work as a timer.

(Yes. im working with HTML canvas ...)

I cant understand - there are millions with different codes and scripts and what else ... And no one can just say : "Animation.Stop.Frame.Nr.XXX"

Finally, I found it!

var timer;

var scene = this;

function stopAnimation() {

    scene.stop();

}

timer = setTimeout(stopAnimation, 30000, this);

Sorry but I've never worked with HTML Canvas!

Oh! Yeah! It works!

Thank you!

Now i just need to figure out, how to stop everything in timeline and inside the movieClips on timeline at the same moment ...

You're welcome

function stopAnimation(){

    scene.stop();

scene.mcName.stop();

}
