I'm using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2, and I'm wondering if there's a way of scripting certain parts of a movie to play in reverse when a button is pressed, I need it start reversing at the most recent, previous, frame and stop reversing 30 frames later.
View 3 RepliesI have 3 movie clips mainclip(_root),one_mc(inside _root),two_mc(inside one_mc). and i want to play the animation in reverse direction so that it has to play two_mc in reverse direction first then one_mc ,and _root all in reverse.
View 2 RepliesSo I have this mc: this.slidingMenu it's a mc of a ring shaped menu, which turn around when 2 button get clicked. When the button on the right, mc goes forward until stop(), when the button on the left mc goes reverse until the stop(). In the first case i use gotoanplay, and everything goes fine. For the second I use prevFrame, like this:

i am new to this site and also to AS i am trying to create a an expand and collapse functionality in which i want a movie clip to shrink and disappear when i click on a button and reappear when i click it again the solution that i came up with was i animated the movie clip shrinking and disappearing and now i think playing the timeline in reverse will solve the other half and i also added the stop script at the 1st and last frame of the movie clip.
i tried a lot and a number tried and tested the no of scripting techniques posted on other threads
is it possible to play a movie clip (or simply, main timeline) in reverse order e.g. suppose, there is a movie clip, few frames in that, of course it will play from first frame to end frame, and also, i want them to play from end frame to first frame.

I have various movie clips within movie clips, these all work fine. Within one of the MC's, i have a button with instance name "left" and one called "right". These are used to cycle through my work (this is for my portfolio). The right button works fine, just plays the timeline of the MC using frame labels. I built my site last year but its going through a complete overhaul on the structure and coding side cos quite simply, its a mess Last year, i placed this code ON the "left" button itself:

For a project I'm working on, it's necessary that I am able to play a sound object in reverse. How would I be able to do this in AS3?
View 1 RepliesI have a image gallery where you can click a foward button or a backwards one. I have each image on every 15th frame. So when the person clicks the next button it plays from 1-15 where it stops if they click back it will go to 15-1 etc. I got it working with the 2 images so I can go between them but when I add a third it won't do anything. I execpt it's something to do with removing the event listener, but I'm not sure.
Code:
stop();
var bRewind:Boolean = false;
this.back_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseOver);
this.forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseOut);
function fireEvent(event:Event):void{
[Code] .....
I am looking anywhere to find a way to play sounds in reverse wih flash.
View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip that is comprised of multiple images.These images are used as the backdrops of various different pages of my portfolio.Every image is in a specific order, so if the user decides to go from page 1 to page 4, it will pan through the first three pages quickly before stopping on the 4th page. Simple Enough.The problem is I want them to be able to also do this while manipulating the timeline in reverse. So say if they're on page 4 and want to go back to page 2, it will 'rewind' the timeline and stop on page 2.know there are plenty of tutorials out on how to play a timeline in reverse, however none of which discuss stopping automatically when reaching a certain point that is before the beginning
View 8 RepliesIn my flash movie, I've imported a very small video file. When the video is done playing, I wanted the user to be able to click a button and the video would play in reverse. I've gotten this to work with the _currentframe and _nextframe properties, but when I play the movie in reverse it's not as smooth. Here's an example of what happens: [URL] Once the movie is done playing, click on it. When it's playing in reverse, you can see it gets a little choppy when the guy gets towards the top of the rail. Has anyone found a way to play the movies backwards without having the speed affected? Maybe I shouldn't use the _currentframe property??
View 4 RepliesI found an old post from January that suggested saving the original image as an SWF via Illustrator. I tried it, but my clip is still registering clicks in transparent areas.
Here's a link. [URL]
All I'm trying to do is allow the drawing to be dragged around the screen, but I don't want it to be clickable in the transparent areas where the green background shows through.
how to eliminate the pale cast that the transparent areas are making? The background to the drawing shows totally transparent in Photoshop, but the boundaries of the movie are visible because the supposedly transparent areas of the movie are slightly masking the background.
I am trying to build a game just for fun and i found something interesting that i really don't know how to do, so any help that you can give me is going to be useful, this is what i need to do, i have a movie clip and i want to subtract another one from just like THIS i can detect the contact but i don't know how to do that.
View 8 RepliesI am trying to use a timer in differents parts of a movie, but I want each part to play a different amount of millisecounds, but even though I change the var millis, it still times for the same amount as the timer on the first timeline. DO I need to make a new timer, and how would I do it. Some else gave me the script for the timer I am using.
[Code]...
This is what I am using for the other frames because if Flash wont allow me to use the same script more than once. I use this for the second scene, but when I try to change it, there is no change it still follows the parameters f the timer in the first scene.
I was wondering if anybody knew of any technique where i can zoom in and zoom out to certain parts of a movie clip? Im not talking about a map or image zoom component. What im trying to do is a website where you see the "big picture" and depending on which section you want to go to, the movie zooms in to part of the "big picture" and content will load.

Suppose a MovieClip in as3 call myClip is 100 frames long and has labels at the following frames:0-start; 25-early; 50-mid; 75-late; 100-endCan someone explain (either using regular AS3 or with Greensock's TweenMax or TimelineMax) how to make my myClip play frames 0 to 25 then back to 0 again, and frames 100 to 75 and back to 100, Ideally would be able to loop over those ranges during a mouse ROLL_OVER event.
View 4 RepliesI have been getting errors when i try and make a call or get data from something on the main stage (like a volume slider) from an external class.
I have flash gallery with an mp3 component. The MP3 component features a volume slider movie clip that i manually put on the stage.
When i try and reference this from a file that is not the main as3 file it comes back as not being defined unless i set a small timer to kind of put my external class to sleep, then reference the slider.
Is there a way to fire off an event when all the components on the main stage are fully loaded?
I am trying to make some buttons that play different parts of multiple movie clips- and also link to a url. I also want to be able to click on a movie clip and make it play starting from a certain point (this is what I have been working on) I have this code
stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
froggy.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);
}
it is on an actions layer of my main timline- I am not sure if I put it in the wrong place or what- but it doesn't do ANYTHING when I click on it when testing the movie. I gave the frogdance movie clip the instance name 'froggy' in the properties panel. The rest of what I am working with will be buttons that do things- but I also want this movie clip thing to work...
I have a MC inside a button and I put in in the "Over" state how to make the MC play in reverse on mouseOut? Or is there a better or easier way of doing this?
View 1 RepliesI am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.
View 4 RepliesI am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I was wondering, what was the best way to for actionscript 3.0 to detect cuepoints playing from a FLV movie that is playing from an FLV playback component?
View 1 RepliesI have this script to play a movie clip. What do I write to get it play in reverse?
function fadeUp(event:MouseEvent):void { buttonFadeOver_mc.play()
I made text jumping say the word "jackflash" each letter is bounced. from a alpha. Instead of me remaking the whole thing over doing same in reverse is their a action I can add at end of movie to play it backwards? Frame begins at 1 too 25. I want it from 25 back wards to 1 is it possible? 25 24 23 22 so on.
View 2 RepliesDoes any know how to play a movie clip in reverse. I have tried the copy frames and reversing them but that does not want to work for my animation. I am just looking for a simple script that when someone mouses over the invisiible button the playhead moves forward and when they mouse off the playheads moves backward from the frame its on.
View 2 RepliesI want it to work to where when you mouse over another menu item on the left, the menu that opens up on the right will essentially reverse back, and then load the next menu item which you just rolled over.The problem is, I can get to do either/or. But not both.It either switches menus, or it will reverse, depending on the code. But I can't think of a way to make it do both.
View 1 RepliesPretty new to Flash, and im looking for a tutorial on how to make buttons that reverse movie clip using rollOver/rollOut...
Been struggling to find a tutorial/code thats more recent than Flash 5. Im working in CS3 on the Mac and the tutorials ive found thus far havent worked...
Also if anyone knows of any good Transistions tutorials for CS3 that would be great too.
I've created a slide presentation when you click the next button the playhead advances to the next frame plays a movie clip and stops (the stop() is at the end of the movie clip script). When you click the previous button I would like the playhead to move to the previous frame, play the movie clip in reverse and stop at the beginning of the clip.
