I�d like to add navigation buttons to a movie it as per my zipped example. This kind of thing must have been done before, where a user can go forward and backward in a flash movie, reversing their previous history (a kind of browse history).

I'm putting together an interactive movie with button navigation of my portfolio using Flash but whenever I test the movie it keeps looping even though I've added a stop(); action to the first frame of my actions layer. This is also interfering with my buttons which are not working. I have modelled my movie on the photography portfolio from Lession 6 of the Flash Classroom in a Book and have checked my ActionScript for any errors but my syntax is error free. This is the Action Script I have added to the first frame of my actions layer to make the moview interactive so that when the user clicks on a button it will take them to the appropriate frame and play the instance until the next stop(); action so that it appears that the picture fades in on the screen and then stops playing:

Can anyone enlighten me on where my error could be? I have created buttons as symbols and labeled my keyframes as 'label1, label2, etc'. As recommended in the CIB. I can't figure out where I have gone wrong!
Is there any way to create a navigation bar that is a separate movie from the main movie, but is able to target the main movie.
I've done this previously using frames, and so actionscript was able to target the frame, for instance, ("_mainFrame"). But i'd like to do this within FlashMX... How do i target another movie sitting in the same html document?
I have uploaded a movie, great, no problem but. it is hiding the navigation menu on the page.
View 1 RepliesI just had my first flash lesson a couple of days ago, but decided to venture myself into trying to build a navigation tool bar with movie clips grouped together. My intention is that once the mouse rolls over one particular movie clip, another movie clip fades in under it (my version of a "drop down" menu). Just so it happens, the movie clip that fades in, is also comprised of particular movie clips with their own behaviors (roll over tween effects).
I can make each individual movie clip behave as it should, but I cannot get them to work once they are pieced together. I'm attaching a link that contains the file I'm talking about (submenu), in the hopes that one of you good Samaritans would take a look at it and tell me where I went wrong.[URL]..
I am gradually learning Flash and am able to play a 56 frame movie clip in frame 5 using stop(); on the main level. What I don't know is how to move onto frame 6 on the main level once the clip is finished.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make a rollover activated animation ( i think it is 40 frames) and the animation will play, then stop at a predetermined location, when you roll "out" of that button the movie clip should play back to the original(start) position. but if you roll over another button, it will move to position... and react the same with each buttons.I uploaded a fla for a more comprhensive explanation, considering i've been working for the past 15 hours, my englis idn't whud id wons wus.i've tried a few different ways to imitate this, but each has made me mad and i have to have a working demo by friday, otherwise i'd take my time and try a few more methods but i still have the rest of the damn thing to put together, tons of animations.
View 2 RepliesIt's been a long time since I've used Flash, never Actionscript 3.0, so I am having some trouble with some simple things. I've built an HTML site with a custom Flash video player in it. The player has a simple timeline navigation going on. There is a movie on each of 3 frames. There are 3 buttons, each goes to a frame. The problem is if you go to movie one, press play it starts. If you decide you want to go to the next movie, the navigation works, but movie one keeps going (you can hear the audio). How do I make this stop?
This is the timeline. btn actions layer is the script on the navigation buttons to make them function.actions layer is just a stop(); on each frame. mov menu are the navigation buttons.

I'm trying to do a transition in 1 movie.. Basically the Navigation..
5 MC's (one for each nav)
clicking on nav item1 would start the item1 MC that plays until frame 10 (which is the middle of the ani)..
clicking on nav item2 would start the item2 MC that plays until frame 10..
well i'd like to have nav2 say "if any other nav is open, play their frame 10->"
item1 (open)
item2 (opening) then item1 (closes)
I've just start working on a project whereby the site will be entirely in flash, have a nav panel down one side, and a content panel down the other. I want some subtle animations on the content as each page is selected (either scroll or fade out) but as each page will have a different background, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.
My current thinking, would be to put all the 'pages' in one movie clip, animated with each having a fadein, then stop, then a fade out. When a link is pressed, it would play until it encounters a 'stop' (hence, the fadeout frames), then jump to the fade in animation for the link that was clicked.With being new to Flash though, I just thought a) I'd check to see if this is the given way to do this, or if there is a better, standard way, and b) if anyone can give me any tips on coding it. I would imagine it would be onPress(function), then the two instructions?.
I am creating an interactive website so it can be viewed where there is no internet.Each section of the website is split in to different movie clips with the navigation itself being a movie clip on a different layer.Currently I am able to jump to the beginning of frame 1 of a MC then able to navigate to frame 2 but unable to go back to frame 1 through the nav.My biggest problem is jumping to frame 2 of a MC.
View 6 RepliesMovie named mcMovie is on frame 1 of timeline on the MainStage. Button inside that movie is named butButton, What would be the scripting for that button to jump to frame labeled "content" on the MainStage. Would the AS be on the mcMovie? or on the timeline?
Alternatively, I can make it all work with the buttons living on the MainStage but apparently they need to be brought onto the MainStage at the same time as the AS. Is there a way to have them in the first frame, yet invisible, and then turn visible at a certain frame?
I have a Flash site I'm developing which has a section with various flv movies. When I click on the section, the 1st movie starts automatically and plays fine but if I navigate to another area of the website before it finishes, the sound still plays in the background. If I click on a different movie thumb, the sound stops as it should.
how to code this in AS 3?
I'm learning it right now but still very green and I have no idea of how to make the music stop.
I am trying to create a site where the menu section will expand with sub-sections when certain buttons are clicked. I have created a main page with navigation, and a movie clip which holds the content for each page. The navigation from buttons on the main page works fine and leads to correct sections [labelled frames] within the MC. I have placed an additional button on the movie clip, it is revealed when one of the main buttons is clicked. However when this button on the MC is clicked, nothing happens.
I want to be able to move some buttons down and slot additional ones in between the existing buttons so that sub-sections are only revealed when looking at the relevant main section. I have tried to do this using the movie clip, however buttons below are not blocked and those above do not work.Here is the code I have used for the buttons - I have tried putting the sub-button code on both the scene and the MC - neither has worked.
ActionScript Code:
btn_home.onRelease = function () {
content_mc.gotoAndStop ("home");

I have attached two pictures. Basically I am making a website. The main navigation loads in external swf's through a container movie. For this I have used this tutorial : [URL]. What I want to do is- when you rollover the navigation bar, be it the text or the coloured block- I want it to scroll down and reveal the 'sub navigation'. (pic2) It's like a drop down menu but kind of the other way around. Then, when you either rolloff of the navigation bar or click on a menu button, it slides back up to its original state. (Pic1). I have played around and only managed a sloppy version which doesn't work very well, especially when you resize. I think a simple answer to this is if I could get my buttons to work inside a movie clip. I had tried this but then the swfs wouldn't load properly.
View 3 RepliesI am diving in to learn AS3 and converting my site over to AS3. The majority of my code is for my navigation in my main movie that loads external swf files. Here is what I have and I don't know where to start to convert it. I know I need to do this in steps. So the audio is not important now or my other swf files.
[Code]...
ive recently introduced myself to AS3, its starting to get a bit frustrating. it seems that when i put the preloader actions in the timeline, everything is fine, the stop(); commands work fine. BUT when it comes around to adding the navigation to the timeline as well (ive tried putting the code on a separate keyframe, ive tried various styles of code) the stop(); actions are completely ignored.

I�m trying to have two navigations in the same scene where i want both to load external swf�s but i�m having problems with the 2nd one.
I wrote this code in the first frame of my fla instead of writing it in the .as file. I don�t know if i�m doing well with this but i also tried to insert the same code in the .as but the same errors show up[code]...
I'm currently developing a full flash site. I've made the dropdown navigation menu with flash also. However, whenever I insert or import it into the webpage .fla, nothing works. When I preview the navigation menu swf file it works perfectly, ie, the mouseover effects, however I lose all actionscript coding when I bring it into my webpage .fla, what am I doing wrong?

View 1 RepliesI'd like to have a function that tells a MovieClip to go to a specific frame and then in this frame, look for a scpecific tag in an XML file, based on the frame's label, and then take some text (a bunch of actually) that is in the XML node and put it on a TextField.
For example, clicking on a "Next Frame" button it will go to the next frame (which has a label "intro") of the movieclip and then search "content.xml" for the tag that contains the attribute name equal to "intro" and then put the content of the ".@TEXT" node into an empty TextField that is already positioned in this "intro" frame. Am I obligated to have the code in this specfic frame? I'm doing it because if I have too much text within textfields in an FLA file it becomes incredibly lagged and therefore impossible to work.
I've tried to use the event ENTER.FRAME to do that but it rendered the
SWF lagged and consomming way too much memory.
I have created a basic site with 7-8 pages which are each given their own label on the timeline. I have created a function called navigate which as the name suggests navigates to each page. This code works and does navigate to all pages within the site. But on only one page ( the last one on the timeline ) I get the error " TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/navigate() " I will also post the navigate function which is
// create function to react to the navigation listeners function navigate(evtObj:MouseEvent){//trace to show that button is identified when clicked trace("the "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!") //go to the section clicked on gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name) //stop the video playback videos_mc.chili_player.stop();
} I have double checked all labels and instance names and the grammar and am pretty sure it is nothing to do with that.
Got a WordPress site and embedded Flash navigation which is showing fine on the home page in IE, but not translated across to the other pages. All pages show fine in Google Chrome and Firefox, what the issue could be with IE? [URL]
