I'm a beginner in flash. I'm trying to make a script let me advance to the next keyframe by clicking right.I'm making a game. I tried
if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
gotoAndPlay (11)
But it doesn't work. Also, should I put the script on an object or the entire keyframe?
Create a scripted movie with seven keyframes and seven thumbnails below main image, each thumbnail being a jumpto button.I've set the file up with each frame displaying a different image, but with all images in thumbnail size as buttons below the displayed image.I would like to have it move to the next keyframe after a 10 second time lapse and take the viewer to the next frame, which would display the new image.[code]However, when I click on one of the thumbnails to skip the 10 second wait and move directly to the specified frame it doesn't reset the 10 second count, which results in the timer getting all out of whack.This is the actionscript on each of my thumbnails at the bottom of the slide show..[code]Can somebody please help me by either helping me code the thumbnail buttons to reset the timer when entering the new keyframe or by editing my actionscript and have it advance a different way? I have tried everything... AS2 and AS3.... At the point of pulling my hair out. Ideally, I'd like to have the script on each new keyframe so I can set different time intervals for each keyframe.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with Flash CS5 and a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. In my first time working with CS5, I set up my hotkeys on the tablet to what I normally have when I'm doing frame-by-frame animation in Flash. I have one button set to F6, which used to add a keyframe wherever my playhead was on the timeline. What I prefer to do is scrub to where I want the next frame using my scroll/strip and just hit the F6 button where I want a new keyframe. But in CS5, what's happening is it's not adding any keyframes at all, but instead moving my playhead back to the last keyframe I edited. What's going on? I can't even scroll to where I want and add a keyframe without physically clicking the frame itself and THEN pressing F6.
View 1 RepliesI can't select some of my text objects!!They are all in the same layer, I've inactivated all other layers, but when clicking the keyframe it selects 5 out of 9 textfields.. And when clicking the (non selected) textfields nothing happens, what is wrong?? The layer is not locked since I still can change the other textfields.. I can't delete them or anything! If they where converted to MovieClips I know I could change them via the object library, but is there a similar way to select objects that aren't in the list?
View 2 RepliesI have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

i am creating a game now this is complex but i have been told by my fellow actioncript co worker that its doable, What it is i have a game "Reaction Tester" and It is inside a car going along the road so its psudeo 3d and i have the "walls" and road sorted now i want a movie clip in the road to throw out random objects From a Movie clip, now i will call them from frame names, say..
frame 1-10 is a tween with a box coming down and then frame 11-20 is a cat and frame 21-30 is a hole in the road Etc i want it to call a random frame to frame, to play
i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not
View 3 RepliesWhen I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?
View 1 RepliesI have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.
View 1 RepliesI have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a game where every level is a separate swf. The problem is, when each level starts, it doesn't load entirely before displaying on the screen, and gives me unpredictable results. I also don't want load waits between each level.Is there some way to do all my loadMovie's at the start, loading them into some place where they wont actually be on the stage, and then calling them out one by one as you play each level of the game?

I have a mc with a button to start the animation. User will press the button, mc will play once. Now, how do I advance the main timeline once that mc ends? Right now everything is on frame 1 in the main timeline... frame 2 is where I want the menu etc to appear. I am using flash cs3 and as3.
View 9 RepliesI have some buttons on the frame. I also have an event listener that is waiting for the user to press the Tab key to advance to the next frame. Is there any way, using ActionScript 3, to have the Flash player not recognize the buttons, because when I'm testing it, using the Tab key, it goes through the progression moving from one button to another, and then finally it advances to the next frame where I want it to go directly to the next frame and bypass the buttons. The simplest way is not to have the buttons, but I need them.
View 3 RepliesI have a button on frame 1 that, when pressed advances to frame 2. On frame 2, there is an animated symbol that starts playing right as you get to the frame. I want this to play once, and then advane to frame 3, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it? Please help, all it does now is loop continuously on frame 2, and I can't figure out how to advance to frame 3.
View 3 RepliesI'm using this action for specific keys to simply advance the time line -
on(keyPress "<Space>"){

what if I want to use all the keys of the keyboard to control this action ? Is the group selector to use ? Like "all keyboard" "all keys"?
I have got AS3 code to do it -
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_KeyboardDownHandler);

I have my game on Scene 1, and my preloader on a separate frame. The preloader loads, but it doesn't advance to the game when it's complete. Where to look for my error?
Code:
class preloader extends MovieClip {
var amount;
function onEnterFrame() {
amount = ((this.getBytesLoaded() / this.getBytesTotal()) * 100);
this._xscale = amount;
if (amount == 100) {

I am looking to create a flash based image slide show, but have some restrictions. Can't use XML to store the images, b/c this is going into powerpoint, and the client uses an older version which doesn't support external files. Also, this won't be advanced by a button, click, but will need to be timed between transitions. There is voice-over, music involved so the transitions times may not all be the same. I did a Google search, but every example involved XML and/or button controls.
View 3 RepliesWe create training material for nuses and working on a mask that will shadow everything but what is seen in a highlighting box. Basically I created a movieClip with a box border and no fill.I then move that onto the stage on the timeline when I need it to come on screen during the movie.I move the box and size it.The box is assigned a var myPos (just so it knows it's name by an array). At frame 1 I have this function set up:
Code:
for(var i:Number = 0;i<myFaderArray.length;i++){
myFaderArray[i].removeMovieClip()
myHighlighterArray[i]._alpha = 0 [code]....
I am needing to create a preloader that advances a 10 frame animation every 10% loaded. So there will be a percentage indicator (dynamic text) and a short animation as the load bar (10 frames). The animation is of tape winding into a tape measure, and when it's fully inside the loading is complete and timeline moves onto next frame. I have been able to do this with AS2, using a combination of (stop) and (play) commands whenever the next 10% was loaded.
[Code]...
URL...Basically, you press button to enter and the tape measure will roll in time with the amount of data/frames loaded. So if 50% of data/frames loaded, the animation would be halfway completed. Upon completion, it zooms in on tape measure and I have animations from there to get to the main site.This was successfully done in Actionscript 2.0, but I need it to work in Actionscript 3.0.
View 3 Repliesi was wondering if their was a way to load external files in advance and to integrate these in the loading progress of the flash file (in the beginning ... you know, with a load bar)i used and changed the photogallery of kirupa, and in the code i integrated a piece that positions every image depending of its size.i put it in the tag where "if" says that the file has loaded completely and the fade in may start.... wel, it works, but some times it doesn't position well. just like the image ain't loaded well. when you go to the next image and then go back it works.if you want to see it, here's the url

View 1 RepliesI have a layer that contains a movie clip, instance name wwr_mc, which has nineteen frames. I have figured out how to script a roll-over function to continously move from one frame to another by rolling over the prev, or next buttons, using this code:
wwr_mc.gotoAndStop(10);
var t:Timer=new Timer(250,0);var dir:int;
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,onNextFrame);[code]...............
This type of navigation, while functional, is not really codusive to what I'm trying to accomplish. I would like to be able to click and drag the mouse and have the frames advance forward or backward depending on the direction of the mouse movement.I tried using the MOUSE_Move event with very limited success.
Take a video on infoq.com (like this one: [URL]... If you play the movie linked above, you'll see the slide deck advance as the appropriate part in the movie is hit. If you advance it forward and back with the slider, you'll see that it triggers to the appropriate location in the slide deck.
