I am loading images 1 after the other using:
var pathToPics = "portfolio/100_design/";
var preLoader:MovieClip = this;
var externalSWFs:Array = [pathToPics+"0.swf", pathToPics+"1.swf", pathToPics+"2.swf", pathToPics+"3.swf", pathToPics+"4.swf"];

If someone hands you a simple event, is there any way of telling if the event has been cancelled or if the stopPropagation() or stopImmediatePropagation() commands have been run yet?

If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

i want to do this:

_root.cover.gotoAndPlay("close");

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
Can somebody change this code from action script 1 to a action script 2 because it doesn't work on new flash 8

I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?

View 1 RepliesI'm very new to flash and working with action script 2.0, and I need to know if it is possible for a button to have more than one action. More specifically a first and second action. I want (when button is pressed) to zoom into my stage and then change to scene 2. This doesn't seem difficult to do but I don't know the code in which to do it.
View 1 RepliesI have (4) buttons with a play action that all play the same series of frames labeled:"1out"(19 frames long), when they get to the (19th) frame the action at that frame tells it to goto frame label "begin". I want only one of those buttions to have a different action when it gets to frame 19, instead of going to frame label"begin" I want it to goto frame label "2in" I thought I set up the code right for the single button, and frame 19 but it wont work,

I have a question that has always plagued me with my AS programing. Is there a simple way to make an action happen the first time the SWF is loaded, but not any additional times that frame is come to? I know this is a VERY basic question, but I have always stumbled with this issue. I can create counters and have the script run when a X is < 1 or and add 1 to X every time the fame enters, but that seems like a very cumbersome way of fixing the problem. Is there a better way of doing this?
View 3 RepliesI am writing a module and I have a section in this flash file where a quiz comes up and if you don't click on the right answer it tells you to try again. If you click on the right answer it will load the next swf file. But I can't get this last part to work. The quiz is within an xml file.
var current:Number = 0;
var qbox:Sprite = new Sprite;
var quiz:XML;[code]....

View 4 RepliesI'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:

I need to update the dynamic text in this flash file I have and export it to SWF. I've looked at the actionscript in all the frames and symbols but the only thing I've found so far are "stop();" 's
I tried exporting this to SWF to see if the file size was the same as the current working version on the site, and it was about 15kb smaller, and does not work at all.

View 2 RepliesI've just inherited a flash file on a project since I was the only one who has even seen actionscript code before. So, I'm pretty new to this, but have been programming a pretty long time. What we want is for the animation to begin upon the user clicking it and then when it finishes proceed to the html post submit. From what I see, the code seems mostly to be there, there is a 'stop' event, move next event, and even a 'on press' event. How do I get this to work? I can see the cod in the actions frame, but can't seem to edit it. Attempting to debug it, gives me errors on publishing. (How do I change my publishing?)
This is currently actionscript 2.0. (but we seemingly have no external restrictions on keeping it so) As I mentioned, I'm pretty new to this, so if I am asking the wrong questions,

View 2 RepliesI have a script that I found on here posted by Salvador Marley.It is supposed to load these sub-menus (which are movieclips in the library, MC01, MC02, etc...) into an empty movieclip when certain links are clicked from the main menu.The code works for loading the movieclip from the library, and even switches the movieclip when I choose the next link all like it's supposed to do.However my problem is that it will play the sub-menu movieclip, but it will not stop at the end. It constantly loops. I have tried to put the stop command in several places throughout my entire .fla but it doesn't stop. The sub-menu's transitions just keep repeating over and over again. How do I get it to only play the sub-menu movieclip once and then stop? [code]
