Scoping Issue on Main Timeline?

4 New Member
I have a movieclip with 15 frame of animation nested on the main timeline. I want to code a delay on the nested clip so that when the playhead reaches the final frame, the nest clip will stop or freeze for several seconds. The problem, I think, is the main timeline is only 1 frame, thus my code does not persist long enough to recognize that playhead on the nested clip ended. here's my code:

main timeline

if (nestedClip._cu rrentframes == nestedClip._tot alframes) {
nestedClip.stop ();
}

thanks in advance

This may be as simple as setting a stop() on the main timeline's frame.

I thought it was "_currentfr ame" ... no "s."

that might be breaking your function right there.

Also, to pause for a set amount of time will require a variable to be declared and set, and a counter/timer function that retrieves that variable. I can't access Flash from the computer I'm on, but I'm working on something similar (timer-controlled playback of a tutorial, an earlier post in this forum which people have completely ignored) and I actually figured it out myself. If you want, I can upload my script here when I get to work.

Let me know...

I'm curious what the ANSI C++ standard says about nested classes. I'm not able to find where in the ANSI C++ standard this is addressed. The issue is the accessibility of sibling nested classes. Example... class A{ private: class B{ }; class C{

okay so the code in question looks like: namespace util { template<typename C> inline void mmapw(C *& ptr, size_t length, int prot, int flags, int fd, off_t offset) { if((ptr = (C*)mmap(NULL,length,prot,flags,fd,offset)) == NULL) { err_mesg("mmap failed"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }

So every now and then I like to mess around with hobby projects - I often end up trying to write an OpenGL video game. My last attempt aborted due to the difficulty of automating game elements and creating a good level editor - I basically needed a scripting language to control the C modules of the game and, after a half-assed attempt or two to make my own, I just gave up. So naturally this seems like a job for Python. Embedding Python...

Hi everyone, I have a xml file that Simile Timeline uses to call events...Some of the events have links in them and I need to have those links open a new window. As it stands now the links replace the timeline. Simile Timeline uses DHTML and AJAX. Any suggestions?
