How to make the wings of a Fly stop when the flash movie stop?

[alex298]

Hello,

I made a simple "Fly Flying" flash animation. The wings of the fly are moving up and down while the fly is flying from one location to the other. My problem is:

The wings of the fly are still moving up and down when the fly is landed on the ground. I tried to add a stop(); action script at the last frame. However the wings are still moving even the movie is stopped.

How can I make the wings stop moving when the flash movie is stop. Please download and take a look at my flash file (fly_flying.fla):

Thanks and best regards

Alex

Hm...

Sorry that I did not read the TOS carefully. This is quite difficult for me to explain. A file tells a thousand words.

Best regards

I don't understand how you can "make" a flash file with flapping wings but not know how to stop them. It seems much harder to make wings flap than to stop them from flapping.

In the event that you're using someone else's fly, you need to find out what movie clip the wings are in and stop that movie clip, not the _root.

I have understood the problem faced by you to some extent but if you are making it in some specific layer pattern then specify the time duration for the movement and after completion of that time the movement will stop automatically.

I presuming from your description that your "wings beating fly" is in a "looping sprite" and is flying on a "path" in a longer movie ..at the point of landing keyframe you must remove that sprite and place an image of the fly with wings at rest and repeat this new image in each frame until the end of your movie or until the scene changes ( with maybe the occasional buzzing movement and sound as optional realism ..depends on your movie ;-)..this to be done on the same time line and layer as the sprite..
