How can I make an embedded movie clip stop and start with the main movie (in Flash)?

3 New Member
I have created a digital timer movie clip to embed in an interactive step by step animation. When the movie plays a step the timer is supposed to show how long that process takes(i.e. how long it took an item to travel the length of a conveyer belt) then the movie stops and explains what will happen next. The user presses start and the next step is depicted in the animation. my problem is that the timer movie clip keeps running even when the main movie is stopped. I want it to stop when the movie stops wait for the user input and then start again so that in the end the user can see the total time that the entire process takes not counting time that the movie stopped between steps.

Hi, I inherited a Flash usability problem: It's a self assessment test created in Flash. I think it was originally built using individual flash files for each question and arrays. Now it has been modified slightly. Each question is in it's own movie clip and the whole test (all the questions) is in a container clip. When the user checks a box they can no longer scroll using the MouseWheel on a PC.

I have just tried to attach a background sound with on/off button to my movie clip at frame 1 of the main Timeline. Flash Movie: the movie will keep on replaying until a viewer clicks a button. (frame 1 to 7) Problem: the background sound plays again on top of the ancient one. And as the movie starts again, one more piece will be played, and so on. I've tried to use different approach with action script but no luck, Please help.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
