ActionScript 1/2 :: Where To Put GotoAndPlay Within Function
Jul 5, 2010
On my first frame, I have: 6 buttons (p1 through p6). A holder mc_holder, which holds mc_pages, {a movie clip that shows 6 pages (each their own movie clip, page1 though page6) tweened across the screen, made to look as if the pages are being "flipped" through).
The following code:
Code:stop();
var _holder = mc_holder.mc_pages;
var picked;p1.goal = 1;
p1.onRelease = goPage;
p2.goal = 10;
[Code] .....
The problem is, as soon as the movie loads, ALL these animations begin to play. I am looking for a solution so that the animations will not play until the page is viewed. I am thinking I can put a stop on the first frame of each page, and a frame label ("go") on the second frame. Can I add this (my knowledge is limited but say... gotoAndPlay (go")) to the code shown above? I have tried messing around with it but have not yet had any results.

I am working with some actionscript that are spread out amongst different frames, and having changing conditions, determines whether to end the sequence (gotoAndStop(1)) or continue (gotoAndPlay(5))
(For easy example):
frame 4=
x=1
frame 5 =
x=x+1
frame 6 =
if (x=10){
gotoAndStop(1)
}else{
gotoAndPlay(5)
}
I understand this easy example could be done several ways on one frame easily, (while x<10, etc).. but my code is so long and complicated, that the way I wrote it, it was easier to have it sort of "loop" between frames. The problem with this is, I think the frame jumping is slowing the coding down. I tried functions, (like having all coding in frame 5 as a function, then calling that function with the "else" in frame 6), but that would only run the function once.. I need it to keep looping.

I would like some help on writing a piece of code.I need to write a function that if some movie clips are in some x and y value, then gotoAndPlay('end');
Code:
function gotoEnd() {
if
(tv_mc._x = 41.8;
tv_mc._y = 157.3;)
then
gotoAndPlay('end');

I'm a bit rusty in flash.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var mytween:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,-320.10,47.90,5,true);
mytween.onMotionFinished = function() {
var mytween2:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,47.90,-320.10,5,true);
} mytween2.onMotionFinished = function() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
It does the first and second tween but doesn't do the gotoAndPlay function?

I have a custom function with parameter. I'm trying to pass the parameter to the gotoAndPlay as follows. This is where the function is called...
Code:
myButton_btn.onPress = function() {
myFunction("Apply");
}
This is the function...
Code:
myFunction = function (fLabel) {
trace(fLabel);
gotoAndPlay(fLabel);
}
Basically "Apply" is a frame label that I'm trying to send the playhead to. The fLabel paramater traces out properly, but the gotoAndPlay doesn't send the playhead to the appropriate frame label. It sends it to 4 frames before the end. It's really weird. Even if I add frames to the timeline, it still sends it to 4 before the end. I can get it to work perfectly in a "new" flash document, but not in my existing document.

I got a simple block of code that stops the main timeline on a certain frame, but so far I've been unable to form a code that would gotoAndPlay when mouse click happens on a button I made, and mind you I'm doing this in a document class. I've heard different instructions how to make the button, some say make it a movieclip, some say nest it in a movieclip

I'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.

I'm trying to get a quick replay command, "pressing space returns the scene to the previous frame".
[Code]...
The current function returns me to a previous frame (40), however the event does not stop, rather it keeps on adding new events ontop of each other once it returns to main frame. The main frame being where the actionscript is executed.

Basically what is happening is that I have created a button that is simply meant to run a "gotoAndPlay" function and take me to the next scene, but for some reason I am getting the error "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
now I seem to have done something wrong, even though I have gone over my code 100 times.
Here is the Code:
ActionScript Code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;

I am currently creating a project in flash. Basically I have nearly a hundred frames. I want my next button to play scene 90 to 100 and then play 60-80 after the previous one has finished. I have already put action script in the top layer to make sure it will stop at 100 and stop at 80 but i cant get them to play after each other. I haven't a clue of what function to use only go to and play but then they would play at the same time right?

How can I get a movie clip to play when pressing the right arrow key? The movie clip is called helicopter and it has stop(); on its first frame (with an animation following).
Here is the loop that tells the arrow keys what to do when pressed:
public function loop(e:Event) : void
{
vy += gravity;
y += vy;

hen you click on a button within my swf it loads an external swf into an MC that sits on top of the 1st swf, which continues to play underneath.Within swf2 I have lots of pages that you can navigate to, which works fine on its own, but not when I try to play it through swf1.When I click on any of the navigation buttons they don't work.I've tried making an MC within swf2, putting all the pages in there and on the navigation buttons doing:
on(release){
_root.swf2MC.gotoAndPlay("frame");
}

I am trying to perform a simple jump on a button with this basic code,
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("ToMain");
}
This works most of the time. Other times it simply skips the jump and continues on. This jump is aimed to skip over an intro (so heavy image transitions with music and commentaries added). I am guessing the intense cpu processing is the cause of the skip. Is there a sure way of performing this jump?

On the same frame, I have two buttons - one with alpha transparency above an image, and one regular one. Both have the " on (release) { gotoAndPlay (2) ; }" code. The transparent one doesn't work, but the other one does.

I've got a movie clip and at the final frame of the clip, I have an action to make it go back but to a frame label and I've tried a number of different versions of the GotoAndPlay action and none work. They're all being ignored and I don't get it. Here's what I've tried:
this.gotoAndPlay("32");
this.gotoAndPlay("start");
gotoAndPlay(32);
gotoAndPlay("start");

I'm having problems with my animation getting cut of by my navigateToURL code. What is supposed to happen is,If you click on "buttonBtn" it triggers a animation. At the end of the animation it is supposed to stop and bring up a url. I've used gotoAndPlay ("frm") and navigateToUrl. Each time I test it in the browser the animation will begin, but the url comes up before the animation is finished. How do I allow the animation to play all the way through and then retrieve the url?
stop();
//SimpleButton ButtonBtn;
function handleClick( pEvent:MouseEvent):void

I have a preloader that loads an external .swf. Problem is, it doesn't show the .swf until it is 100% loaded. But, the external .swf starts to play before it reaches 100%. I placed a stop function in the external .swf so now, after it loads 100% it is still on the first frame. How do I get it to automatically goToAndPlay the second frame?
Also, when the external .swf reaches the end, it needs to loop back. I am guessing that I will have the same problem after it reaches the end, loops back to first frame and stops again.

I've got a simple button that when clicked needs to go to a particular frame and stop when it hits the stop(); however when I test it I get a type error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PostCard_fla::MainTimeline/frame25()
I need to be able to tell it what frames to go to manually so the user can jump around the time line using short animated transitions between pages (set up like a web page) in AC2.0 this was easy, but its different in AC3 and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is my code:
stop();
btn_flip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(28);
};

I'm trying to make it so that when a movieclip (box) touches another movieclip (exit), it goes to frame 2.I've made it so that (box) moves with the arrow keys and doesn't go pat the barriers (boulders) using this:
x.onEnterFrame = function()
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {box._x += 5;}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {box._x -= 5;}

I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {
