Do flahs movie files automatically fire an event a completion?

[jai2001]

Hi everyone,

I have very little experience in Flash. I progam in c++ and am trying to write a little program that can play flash files.

I need to know when a flash move has ended.
Is there any way i can check for this or do the movie files fire an event when they are finished.

Thanks,

Jai

at the most basic you can have a variable in the last frame to broadcast the fact that it now has a value (eg true/false)

the question as stands is a touch too vague for a better response

What I mean to say is.

If you grab any old .swf file. Is there a way to query the file to see what state it is in (playing/stoped)?


I don't have access to the project files, so i would not be able to edit the file to add a variable.

If you load it up in another movie, you can monitor it's current frame and already knowing how many total frames it holds - trace(clip._totalframes) - then determine when it reaches the end.

You could probably use the Flash methods also (IsPlaying)...
