ActionScript 3.0 :: Putting Multiple Instances Of The FlvPlayback Component In Different Frames And Using Buttons To Navigate To Frames
May 2, 2011there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 RepliesFlash :: Using An External Class With Multiple Frames On The Timeline And Multiple Stage Placed Buttons
Sep 21, 2010I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

View 3 RepliesEdit Multiple Frames?
Aug 24, 2009I'm using CS4, and I'm attempting to align animations in flash. To make it easy, lets say I have two animations which start in a standing position, facing east. One of these animations (in a movie clip) is on fame 2 and the other is frame 11. The only way I can find to do it - without flicking between frame 2 and 11 constantly - is onion skin. The problem is that when i turn it on, it shows every frame - I can change the start to frame two, but the end will not go back past whichever frame I have selected - 11 in this case, and so it it too messy by far to see what I'm doing. Is there a way to allow me to see only frame 2 in that ghost style, while I edit frame 11? Even if its not onion skin, it doesn't matter.
Second to this - I cannot seem to work out how to edit multiple frames. By that, I mean that frame 11 through to 19 need to be aligned by the same amount, and yet even when I select all those frames, only one is affected.
Moving An Object In Multiple Frames
Jun 12, 2010I'm new to Flash and just started working on an animated short. In one of the sequences, I realized too late that an object was too far left in the frame and needed to be moved back. Is there a way to do that in all of the keyframes at once rather than doing it one at a time? The thing that needs to be moved is a .png file, not a symbol.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Use TextFormat On Multiple Frames?
Feb 19, 2009I must be missing something, but how on earth do I make it sothat I can set TextFormats for the whole movie and not just theframe the actionscript is on.My movie is basically a video with cuepoints that triggerdifferent keyframes that display text appropriate to what theperson featured in the video is talking about. In other words it'slike a powerpoint presentation that's run by an FLV file. Almostall of the blocks of text I'll be displaying are bulleted lists andsince, for some odd reason, bulleted lists aren't available usingthe standard Flash GUI text formating tools I need to apply themvia ActionScript. All the ActionScript is in its own keyframe atthe beginning of the movie timeline. I've setup my text formatingcode like this:
var bulletlist:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
bulletlist.bullet = true;
bulletlist_field.setTextFormat(bulletlist);
While I have successfully applied this to a box of text onthe first frame of the movie, I haven't be able to apply it to texton any other keyframe. So from what I can tell, I have to referencethe above TextFormat actionscript for every frame I need to use iton, and since I can't have duplicate TextFormat values, that meansI'd have to create a new instance with a new name for each frame.This seems rather inefficient and frankly ridiculous consider thatthe other ActionScript that I wrote seems to apply to the wholemovie. And what's the point of using ActionScript to format text ifyou have to redo it for every *******' keyframe? Is there somefunction that I'm missing somewhere to allow me to use one set ofTextFormat code on multiple frames or is this simply a dysfunctionof Flash and/or ActionScript 3.
Extending A Component Over Multiple Frames

AS3 :: Flash - ColorTransform Over Multiple Frames?
Nov 30, 2011(Flash Professional, AS3) I'm working on a custom avatar system where you can select various festures and colors. For example, I have a "hair" movieclip that has 10 hairstyles. Each frame has a movieclip of a different hairstyle (HairStyle1, HairStyle2, etc.). I also have a colorPicker to change the color. Here's my code:
[Code]...
This correctly changes the initial color. I have a "nextHair" button to advance mc_myAvatar.hair to the next frame. When I click the button, I get an error message saying that I have a null object reference. I added a trace, and mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer is null on frame 2. I've clearly named HairStyle2 as "colorLayer" in frame 2. I think the problem is related to me using the same name for different classes/movieclips, but I don't know how to fix the problem...
I added a square movieclip below my hairStyle movieclips, named the square "colorLevel", and deleted the name from my hairStyle clips. When I click the next button, the square correctly maintains the color from frame to frame. However, having a square doesn't do me much good. I tried converting the hairStyle layer to a mask. Doing this, however, results in yet another "null object" error - mc_myAvatar.hair.colorLayer is null after frame 1. I even tried "spanning" my colorLevel across all frames (no keyframes), thinking that this would give me just one movieclip to work with. What's going on, here? Why am I getting these null objects, when they are clearly defined in my movieclip? I'm also open to suggestions on a better way to do multiple frames and colors.

Jul 25, 2011I have a button that I want to work on multiple frames. Currently, I have a scene that automatically starts to play when the playhead enters the first frame (no stop command).

Edit Frames In Multiple Layers Simultaneously?
Nov 9, 2009I've created a movie, and have decided that I want to change the timing of one element in the middle of it. I have searched and searched but can't find any way to change not only the length of time this element stays on screen, but also all subsequent action, all of which is on different layers.
Surely I don't have to manually move each element on each layer individually? I've been trying to select multiple layers and move the frame I want, hoping that the frames on other layers would also move by the same amount - but no luck.
Professional :: When Importing Multiple Files Into Key Frames?
Mar 16, 2010I'm creating an interactive flash application that uses hundreds of individual renders from a 3d modelling app. The image file size is 800 x 600. Each sequence that i import to the stage is around 120 images and each gets put into a separate key frame. The problem is, often when I import batches of files into flash the program crashes and stops responding.The problem gets worse after each succesful import ie. after importing the first lot of files, its unlikely that the second lot of files will importInterestingly, I dont have this problem on my pc.

In home there are mc's that when clicked take you to different frames inside home.swf I need to have a gotoAndPlay eventlistener off a button which would take the user back to frame one of home.the home .swf has 6 frames with different clips in each frame on one layer, text for the back to first frame on another layer, an invisible btn and an actions on two separate layers
first question :
the individual frames are 7-8-9 the gotoAndPlay action is on frame 7 ONLY the button only works when in frame 7 if 8-9 are not individual blanks why doesn't the button work when in frames 8 and 9?In other words can't I use an action that triggers a function assigned to a button that spans across more than one frame?if the button spans across 7 - 8 - 9 and the action frame is on 7 how can I get this to work?

Nov 23, 2010In CS5, I want to create a series of buttons that when clicked will linked to other frames in the same timeline. So one button will link to frame 5, one will link to frame 10, one will link to 15, etc. All the buttons will appear across the top of the stage on a layer, and I want them to appear on all of the frames so the user can click back-and-forth to the different frames/screens.

Aug 1, 2009using scenes I had the problem of the published movie skipping scenes, and I was hoping that it would fix itself once I compiled all my scenes onto one time line. The problem still persists, and at one "scene" (now a movie clip on the time line), it just goes into an endless loop.Right now the movie is broken into two scenes to get around the 16000 frame limit. When I test the two scenes individually, they run fine. Only when I test the entire movie does it screw up.So my question is: Is there a way I can use action script to force the movie to play a range of frames so it doesn't skip over them? Having two .fla files and a call function isn't an option since I need to upload it online to various websites, and I can't host separate .fla's elsewhere to be called upon.

When I crouch, etc. It doesn't loop the animation it just sits on a still image (as if I did not have an animation on that frame). What am I doing wrong?The code i'm using after my if statement is gotoAndStop(frame)Within each MC there are more MC's and so on, I don't know if this screws with it.Here is an FLA, the code is partly me but ultimately from disastamaans tutorial(on the kongregate website) for basic platforming.

I also can't figure out how to select the precise frame I want when it needs to change.
