How do I insert a start button on the first frame of a movie clip that will then disappear after the movie starts playing?
View 2 RepliesI have a interactive movie clip with buttons. The problem I have with my movie clip is that whilst the movie is playing and I click the forebtn, it stops the movie. Ideally I would like the movie clip to start playing straight away when I press the fore button.

I have a preloader.swf that loads the main "content" swf of my website. All is working alright, except once the preloader is done, the content swf doesn't start at frame one. Basically in the content swf I have some images and text that scroll onto the screen at frame one before the 'home' screen, but when preloader finishes it skips the animation and goes straight to the home screen. This isn't a big deal, but obviously it would be nice it people could see the animations at the start...
The script for the preloader is:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent .PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLET E, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;

I am just trying to write a small actionscript in Flash CS4 for a navigation button and I am really lost.
I turned Script Assist and can not figure out even the first line nor can I turn Script Assist off. Should I be using Script Assist and, if not, how do I deactivate it so that I can type directly into the text box?
I want that when someone clicks on the button, my movie will start downloading instead of showing. (meaning, you can either save or open the file). Like downloading a clip from the web.
View 5 RepliesI currently have a 23-frame multilayered single-scene animation designed to loop continuously which I would like to add to my portfolio. As such, I am adding a Play button, which I would like to toggle to a Stop (or Pause) button. I currently have an instance of the Play button ("playButton") created.
(You can find this at pineboxmovingco.com/gear_redux.swf)
Besides imploring your assistance in providing the code, I must also ask if this requires (and best practice for) inserting an additional frame at the beginning for the ActionScript, as well as where/what layer to add an instance of the Stop button. I would like the movie to be stopped by default, presenting the Play button, toggling to the Stop button, and back to the Play button, each upon release.
How could I tell a flv movie to start through a button when its set to autoplay=false?
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to write the code for a flash animation which uses different movie clips and buttons.all the movie clips are in the same layer but i've written code to make all but one invisible when the animation loads.
dance._visible = false;
harmonica._visible = false;
violin._visible = false;
i've then got buttons which are supposed to make the movie clips visible, but then disapear again after the clip has played.i want to be able to press one button to have one clip start playing, but then i want to be able to press another button which stops that movie clip and starts a new one playing.this is what i came up with but it doesn't work
on (press) {
violin.stop();
harmonica.stop();[code]....
this script is from one of the buttons which is supposed to start the movieclip harmonica and stop violin playing.i've got the same code for violin but the other way round.when i press a button it works fine and plays the clip which then disapears (leaving a default clip which plays all the time visible) but pressing buttons to interrupt the clip and play another one don't work properly. the movie clips don't stop and reset when they are interupted. they kind of pause instead. when i go to play a clip that has previously been interrupted it starts from where it has been paused and not from the beginning
As part of my brief, I have to create a small flash movie that will load a random quote (which is actually a jpeg image), fade it in to view, display it for a length of time (probably only 3-5 seconds), fade it out and then load another random quote. Is this possible to do, purely using actionscript? I can randomly load an image - I used the "Random Background Image" tutorial on this site - but getting the fading/pausing/fading then moving to another quote has got me stumped.
The images are imported into their own swf file that is loaded into a placeholder movie on the html page. I tried adding in a for loop to the individual swf and the placeholder movie, to loop through alpha property of the image (just to fade up for the moment, till I get it working) - but this didn't work at all. I could use tweens for the fading, but this could end up a mess and more work than it needs to be as there could be quite a lot of quotes added over time.
I'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
Minutes = "00";
Seconds = "00";
Centiseconds = "00";

I've created a widget that that, on roll over, starts an animation and allows the user to jump to a url on clicking the widget. It all works well, except that the whole stage area (209x204 pixels) is sensitive to the roll, and I want to somehow make a specific target area start the animation on roll over.
I've tried putting it into another button and adding a hit state to the button, which did create the specific area I was aiming for, but prevented the movie from playing, creating a weird 'stutter' of the cursor.
I'm creating a movie clip button and for the out state I have this:
web_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, at_out);
function at_out(event:MouseEvent):void {
web_btn.gotoAndPlay(30-(web_btn.currentFrame-11));
}
It gives me this error when I click the button: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::web_mc_37/at_out() I know the error is in this statement: web_btn.gotoAndPlay(30-(web_btn.currentFrame-11));
somehow I miraculously created a Flash movie and successfully uploaded it to a blog
here is the blog, the flash video is in the left column, top:
[URL]
you will see that the first frame of the movie is actually all white, with a logo/banner across the top
all I would like to do is skip over, or delete? those few frames in the beginning, and have the flash video display and start the movie from a different frame.
this is taking me DAYS to figure out....hours that I am not getting paid for....my client's video guy never returns her calls, and so I, the lowly graphics designer, am trying to figure this out.
SURELY there must be a simple way to tell the video:
"hey....skip over the first ____ frames, and start the video at frame 5______ (or whatever).
I'm in Flash CS3 and I know NOTHING about Flash and very very little about code
It's pretty common on many Architectural and Engineering sites to have a small movie on the home page. For example: URL... I've made similar movies for my websites using flash, and there always seems to be a lag and an image icon while the movie to loads. Here is a site where the movie loads unnoticeably: hensonarchitect com. Is there a way to use flash and have the movie load without an image icon placeholder? The flash movie that I have in mind is only 90kb, so a preloader isn't needed.
View 2 RepliesI assumed that the Idea was simple:one button on stage, when clicked, opens a list of buttons and when one of those is clicked, an action is carried out. I have all the tweens made, so in theory, the animation should work. I have the main button (start) set to control the show/hide of the main button plate:[code]which should play the animation and show the buttons (frame 16 of the movieclip "this.plate" which also has stop(); in the actions)All of the animations work the same way. the button performs 2 actions, when on frame 1 tells flash to play frame 8 and when on frame 16 tells flash to play frame 17 (which then loops back to frame 1 and waits stop(); The first menu worked until I added the submenus and now for some odd reason (debug and output give no errors) if I click the "start" button, nothing works.I have 6 sub menus, all are separate movieclips with instance names. the clips are named plate2 through plate 7 (plate is the main buttons movie clip in the parent level)
View 2 RepliesI'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
View 1 RepliesBasically, I have a movie with a set of buttons which show some information when clicked or mouseover. Effectively, until i have clicked onto a button there is white space and when clicked, the information shows in this whitespace.What I would like to do is when the movie is loaded I would like to pretend the user has already clicked the first button, thus showing information and not white space. I can get the movie to do this however I cannot get this to then following the rest of the actionscript. It remains loaded.
In short what I am looking for is some sort of onLoad function to pretend the first button has been clicked and then ignore or unload the command and ONLY repeat this if the movie is loaded again (refresh etc)It is a movie clip NOT a button, sorry. So I would like to load the first movie clip (there are 15 in total) then cancel this command when the user interacts and clicks to move on.I have added this to the first moviemc.onLoad = function() {this.gotoAndStop(10);}But this just keeps repeating itself when the user clicks another mc to move to the next item. I need this to only happen once on load.
I am trying to create a sound button to start a sound and then stop it when clicked again. I thought it would be easy because there is a code snippet for "click to play/stop sound"

Instructions:1. Replace [URL]below with the desired URL address of your sound file. Keep the quotation marks ("").*/

var fl_SC_11:SoundChannel;
//This variable keeps track of whether you want to play or stop the soundvar fl_ToPlay_11:Boolean = true;

View 2 RepliesI have a web site that will have five sections. Let's call them 1,2,3,4,5. Section 1 starts on frame 100, 2 on 200, etc. Can I make an HTML link that can start the flash movie at the beginning of a certain section? Such as play "myflashmovie.swf and start on frame 200" so that the viewer will start on section 2?
Another way I was thinking of doing it was to create the five sections in five different flash movies. Then import those flash movies into one container flash movie but vary the order to whatever I want the viewer to start with. Then I would have five different html links. Each link would have a different section as the starting movie. Such as 1.html would play a container flash movie with section 1 at the beginning, 5.html would play a container flash movie with section 5 at the beginning, etc. My question here is could the five separate movies within the container movie make references to the other movies? Such as if someone was in movie 1 and it has link to movie 4, how would I note in the flash movie when user clicks here, go to movie 4?
I have a movie clip container that contains 7 smaller movie clips, images converted to movie clips actually. This is a scrolling banner that can scroll left or right.
How do I start in the middle of this banner instead of the far left? That is, when the script first loads I want to be able to scroll left and right, not just right.
Is it possible to test or export only a small selection of a movie?
View 2 RepliesHow many small size movie clips can I store in the library. On the stage I randomly use 6 of them but this random clips will come from an array full of 3500 m.clips. Is it reasonable , or should I use another way like using xml files.
View 10 RepliesI think this should be here instead of the Actionscrip area but not sure.I am using a button to have a small popup (which is a MovieClip) appear when the user does a mouse over. I have a LOT of these because it is a list of bullet points. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to do an array. It would cut WAY down on code.Although this is the Flash forum instead of ActionScript My code for one button is:
box_new90.btn_newUsers.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, newUserOver);box_new90.btn_newUsers.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,closePop) ;
function newUserOver(e:MouseEvent):void{activePop = pop_newUsers;heightPop = 75;topPopOpen = 190;topPopClose = 155;openPop();}[code]....
Im trying to create an e-mail button that displays a small progress bar that plays for a sec or two, the button itself and the progress bar have been done but i dont know how to make the button play the movieclip without going to other frames in the movie, seeing as ther is only one (its a side menu for my warcraft mapping website). ive tried the loadmovie option but it just doesnt seem to like loading onto the screen (it loads in random locations lol)
