I have a series of movies I'm creating that have streaming audio with animation synced to the audio. I was wondering if there is a component out there, or an FLA, that is a scrubber control bar like the one you see in Articulate Flash presentations, or video.I need it to control the main timeline.I have searched google for a while now and I can't seem to find one.
View 5 RepliesI have a 4 1/2 minute Flash Demo: first minute is Intro Flash animation, next 3 minutes is a progressive video with a FLV playback component, and last 30 seconds is conclusion Flash animation. When I press the pause button on the FLV it pauses the video but the main time line continues to play in the back ground so that the last 30 seconds will play no matter what the stat of the FLV. If the FLV is paused the conclusion will just start to play when it reaches that part of the timeline or worse if you pause the FLV and resume it after say 30 seconds the video and the last scene sound plays at the same time at the end of the video. I have a toggle play/pause button on the intro animation that works fine and the FLV play/pause works but I don't know how to pause the end of the timeline when the FLV is paused.
View 9 RepliesI have been trying to create a play/pause button for the main timeline in my flash movie. Created a movie clip with 1st frame - a pause graphic, then on 2nd frame - play graphic, labelled the frames 'pause' and 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip. Then put the following code in the actions layer of the main timeline (and gave instance name of 'ppBtn' to the movieclip):
var pp:Boolean = true;
function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {
if(pp) {
stop();
event.target.gotoAndStop('pause');
[Code] ....
It works in stopping and starting the movie but the actual movieclip doesn't toggle between the pause and the play graphics (just stays on the 'pause' state - 1st frame).
i have i problem with my slider. I followed this tutorial This tutorial dont take into account that the timeline should continue playing when the scrubbing is done, here is my as3 code:
ActionScript Code:
slider_mc.knob_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDragKnob);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onReleaseKnob);
[code]........
I have created a main movie that includes 5 different movie scenes. Each scene is sequential in order 1-5 on the main timeline. I am trying to add two buttons, Pause and Play. I have added them to the main movie timeline but the have no effect on the 5 scenes.I moved the buttons into each scene and the buttons do work, however, it starts to play again if I wait long enough (seems like once the player reaches a new scene it starts the new scene).[code]
View 0 RepliesI have found a generic recursive loop that stops/pauses all child movieclips. If I change stop to play in the code, it plays all child movieclips simultaneously. I want it to resume only one animation at a time. I want a generic recursive loop that resumes animation from last position (position it was paused) irrespective of whether I have paused on the main timeline animation or animations within child movieclips or animations within grandchild movieclips. (I have animations on main timeline, animations within lastFrame MC of maintimeline, and again within last frame MC of child's timeline).[code]...

Does anyone know how to do this in AS3?
Play/Pause FLV Component w/Spacebar?
I've been looking for a tutorial to create a timeline scrubber (not animating specific movie clips, but actually a scrubber that can move along different keyframes of a timeline that has a series of images on it).I found a bunch of these (scrubber controlling specific movie clips): http:[url]....but nothing that allows you to just scrub back and forth on the whole timeline in the exported swf.
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2.0. I have a flash timeline that shows 4 tabs and cycles through them. There is also a play/pause button. My issue is that when you click one of the tabs, you start the timeline up again, but the play/pause button doesn't reset. I have the full Flash file, as well, if needed. [URL]

I'm having trouble controlling the PAUSE and PLAY states of the pause/play button located on the Media Controller component, while streaming an .mp3 file.
- I set the button to the PLAY state (which shows the pause button) in the authoring enviroment. (Good).
- I set the media, and play the mp3 file. (Good).
- After the .mp3 file is done playing, the button goes back to the PAUSE state...DESPITE a fucntion I have that loads my next mp3 file).
I would like to be able to control the button states to reflect that the player is still playing. (ie. showing the pause image)
I thought "audioController.playing = true;" would do the trick...but it's not working correctly.Below is my code:
//Loads and Plays Audio
Code:
function loadAudio() {
audioPlayer.setMedia("audio/" + audioNames[_global.nCurAudio]);[code]...............

View 1 Replies[URL]about 30 seconds into this flash, there is an FLV of a computer screen. The problem is, when I pause the swf, the flv keeps going. How do I get around this?1. Is it possible to convert the flv to swf?OR2. Is it possible to control the flv from the main timeline?
View 7 RepliesI've created a movie clip with an animation on it's own timeline 30 frames long. When I press 'Enter' while inside the movieclip the animation plays ok.On the main timeline, I have one layer 30 frames long with the movieclip symbol placed on frame one. If I press 'Enter' the main timeline play head moves to frame 30 but the movieclip animation does not play on the stage. If I press 'Ctrl + Enter' or publish to swf then the animation plays ok but I can't setup the stage how I want it without the animation playing on the stage. Do I need to just change a viewing setting (tick box in preferences) or is this related to AS3 or new CS4 inner workings?
View 4 RepliesAfter a swf movie loads, is it possible for the main timeline to continue to play? Right now if I don't put a stop action where I call in my loaed movie, my main time line plays while the called swf file loads, and the end animation is off then.

[Code]...
This works without a problem. When i rolover the MC it plays and thats all good however if the animation is half way through and i rollover again the MC restarts. I would like to add a condition statment that only allows the movie to play if its current frame is at 1 or only to play if it isnt currently playing. I appologise if i havent explained it too well.

View 1 RepliesI've created a movie clip symbol with it's own animation on its timeline. I've placed this symbol onto the first frame of the main timeline but when I test it, it doesn't play. There's no stop actions or anything on either timelines so I'm not sure why this is happening. I thought that the animation in a movie clip symbol will automatically play (i.e. if you test in a browser) once it's on the main timeline - is this right? Or am I doing something wrong. Maybe I need to tell it to play?
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to have an instance of a movie clip symbol which has its own timeline "play" when you scrub the main timeline?You can do this with graphic symbols, but so far I've had no luck doing this with movie clips.See, I have a movie clip -- several actually -- with their own timelines which I want to place in the main timeline.When I scrub the main timeline I'd like to see them scrub as well, instead of simply seeing the first frame of the movie clip.I basically have to work blind like this.
What I'm trying to do is basically have several "slides" which are animated and then have a stop();. They'll sit there for a second and then the entire animation, or slide (movie clip) will move off the stage. I can't do this now. When I scrub the main timeline I can't tell what's happening in the movie clip. I can't tell when I can slide it off the stage.I tried to get around this by using graphic symbols with their own timeline, but adding a stop(); doesn't work in them.
methood of telling the stage to continue playing in reverse, after a button is clicked, until it reaches a keyframe that will tell it to stop? I'm trying to make it so buttons will tell the stage to play a transition from beginning to end and then have it play in reverse when the "back" button is pressed. I'm currently searching online to find an answer but I haven't had any luck yet.

View 4 RepliesI've created two movie clips in Flash CS3, and I am now trying to understand how to get them to play in sequence on the main timeline.
I am noticing that when I change the Action Script in one movie clip, the Action Script in the other movie clip changes as well.
I'm building a website using actionscript 3 with an animated intro and it has 8 movie clip buttons called Tab1, Tab2,etc. which when clicked navigate to different URL's. I would like play an exit animation (frame 300) on my main time line when a button is click and then goto the url page.
View 7 RepliesI need to play different movie clip at a given frame, let's say 100, in the main timeline. For example,
if(_root.x==1) play movieClip1;
else if(_root.x == 2) play movieClip2;
else if(_root.x == 3) play movieClip3;
How can I do it?
I am trying to make a scrubber that will allow me to scrub through the root time line which has streaming audio on it. I have created audio players before where the file was being streamed in from an external file, but have not dealt with it ever being on the timeline.
[Code]...
It works pretty well, however, there is a problem. When I scrub the bar, the audio stops playing. I am assuming it is related to the enterframe function, but I am not sure on how to correct the code.
Are there any examples or tutorials on AS3 scrubbers? I cant find any that don't deal with flv control... I need swf timeline control and dont have the knowhow to convert an as2 version.
View 14 RepliesI have a movieclip (a), inside another movieclip (b), on the main timeline. I want to click on movieclip (a) and make it go to and play a keyframe on the main timeline. I'm used to using buttons for actions, not movie clips, and I forget how to use the _root thingy.
View 3 RepliesThe movie clip is an actionscript movie which calls images from an external XML file and shows them as a slideshow. What i need to do is after the last image plays, stop the movie and move the main timeline to the next scene of the main movie. Everything logical in my brain is not working, and it may be that I have been staring at this project for too long but for the life of me i can't make this work.
