ActionScript 2.0 :: Animated MovieClips On A Timeline?
Aug 8, 2006
I have a series of thumbnails that I have made into movieclips so that I could animate them. I have named all the instances. I have a main jump page to go to a particular picture. Each picture has a set of thumbnails (movie clips) that are animated on each. When I built it, they work fine by themselves, but when I created my "jump page" the smaller thumbs lose their overstate and onRelease. My actionscript loads on the jump page and to a frame that I request with no problem, but. Why is my actionscript not working?
stop();
mike.onRollOver = over;
mike.onRollOut = out;
mike.onRelease = down;

I created an animated text on the main timeline. Then I exported it as an animatd-gif with transparent check.The resulting gif is not transparent, the background is the color of the stage.
How can make a transparent gif without the stage coloring?

I'm using AS3 with Flash CS4. I have three movieclips, all using buttonMode, which animates when the mouse is over the MC (MOUSE_OVER) and when the mouse leaves the MC (MOUSE_OUT), using listeners. Or in fact, when the cursor is over one MC the other two animates. My problem is that when i move the mouse cursor from one MC directly to another one, the MC's aren't done animating the MOUSE_OUT-animation before it starts to do the MOUSE_OVER-animation. Probably a recurring issue with an easy solution.
Is there a way to check what frame the MC's are currently at and then use an IF-statement to check what should happen next? Or how am i suppose to approach this problem you think? I'm sort of a Flash newbie, i've just taken some [URL] courses.

I'm having a problem getting my animated rollOn/Off buttons (movieclips) to play when they are nested in another movieclip's timeline.
I'm trying to build a drop down menu. On the main timeline I have a movieclip with a button inside it on frame one. When you roll over this button it plays from frame 2 to 10 which is my menu dropping out. When the menu is fully dropped it is made of further buttons (movieclips again) that fade to a different colour when rolling on, and should fade back when rolling off. When you roll off of the menu, everything reverses back to frame 1.
Here is the script I used for the rollon and rolloff reversing, I got this from another website:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[Code]....
The main Afternoon cakes button is to the right, and the white boxes to the left show how they should work. They work fine when on the main timeline, but do nothing when they are inside the movieclip.

I am an intermediate/moderately experienced AS3 programmer - however, I am having a few issues with resizing my background mc (mcBG), that contains a mask with bounds which go beyond the dimensions of the stage, to display correctly.
I know my script works (well, at least this much) so that if a static image of 1000px * 800px is placed inside the mcBG movieclip, the background fills the screen as intended.
However, if I change that static image (inside mcBG) to be either: a movieclip (mcAnimMask) which contains an animated mask (which has elements larger than the 1000px * 800px bounds, eg: 4500px * 3000px) or,2 layers (mask, and animated layer (dimensions: eg 4500px * 3000px) - framed tweening)...the resize script resizes mcBG to be the greatest dimensions of the files contained within it - ie: it does not fit the screen correctly, in fact it appears to be about 60% smaller than the original (which should be 1000px * 800px).

I am a noob to Flash AS3, having a problem loading animated MC's. I am creating an AS3 file. I have 5 animated movie clips, I want to load a new clip after the previous one is done animating. I would like to load each clip with code. I can get them to load, but not sure how to removeChild after 1 cycle of animation and add the new child to follow.

I want to load jpgs using an external XML file into a flash layer and have a timeline playing over the top of them. I invision having photos loaded to a box on the left side of the stage covering 1/3 of the area, and then loading photos also to a box on the right side of the stage while an animation plays of the clients logo in the middle 1/3 of the stage area. My Action script skills are very limited. I have been able in the pass to modify what I have found on the web to work for my purposes. But, I have not been able to find anything that has multiple players on one stage or anything close. I created a swf that alternates loading an image on left and then right but it plays over the top of ... and then loads a third image behind the client logo in the middle covering the entire stage. But I would be happy with just a left and right alternating if possible.

set text property of textfields nested in clips on an animated timelines.
All assets are named from the first frame of the outer movieclip. Debugging this in Flash Builder, we can see that the textfield property is being set, but probably because of the multiple keyframes within the outer movieclip AND inner movieclip, there is some confusion occurring...
Testing various scenarios with nested animated movieclips, and nested NON-animated movieclips, the results are this:
It works in this scenario:
mcMainContainer(with animated timeline)>mcSubContainer(with no timeline)>myTextfield
But as soon as we have a nested animated timeline, like this:
mcMainContainer(with animated timeline)>mcSubContainer(with animated timeline)>myTextfield
...we lose the ability to assign dynamic text to the nested textfield.

why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)

I've got a movieclip with two layers - a background movieclip, and above that, a mask movieclip (as you might guess, this layer is masking the first). Due to design necessity, the mask is animated on the timeline across 60 frames.The problem arises when I use an Event.RESIZE listener to change the width of the parent movieclip when the browser window is resized. Any code to reference the mask, i.e
parentMC.contentMask.width = stage.stageWidth;
parentMC.contentMask.x = frame.width/2 - frame.contentMask.width/2;
Simply results in the mask animation not playing at all.

I have a bunch of movieclips in my library. Each one contains it's own class and functions etc.I put each of these movieclips on diffrent frames in my timeline.My question was, if I am going to put these movieclips, on 2 or 3 frames on my timeline what will be the impact on speed of application (in mobile afcourse).For example MovieClip2 will be put on frames 2,3 and 6.It has 300 lines of code. Is the impact noticable ?

Are depths particular to the timeline of the movieclip you refer to it? In other words, let's say you have actionscript to duplicate a movieclip 100 times, each time putting the new one on the next depth. But the code and the movieclip to be duplicated are themselves inside a movie clip. Are those depths inside that movieclip? So for instance, let's say the parent movieclip lies on the maintime. And on a layer above that is a button. Are those duplicated movieclips going to be visibly above or below the button?
A tangible example:
I would like to have a smoke/steam effect that uses duplicateMC and depths. But I need the effect to be underneath other movieclips at certain times. Can I just contain the effect inside a movieclip that sits on a layer below other movieclips on the maintimeline? Or do I need to stop the effect and do a swapdepth with whatever the last depth was?

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

I built my website on the main timeline with a fade in animation...stop(on the page) and a fade out animation. At the end of this fade out animation i would like it to call upon a variable to know what page to go to next.I am trying to tell my main timeline to gotoAndPlay a frame based off of a variable within a movieclip(about_mc this movieclip contains another movieclip which acts like a button(factsheet_mc)) that i have set in my main timeline.I set the variable with:
var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline
then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:
this.onRelease = function(){ --------"this" meaning the movieclip factsheet_mc------------ [code]........

I am looking to have the timeline continue (gotoAndPlay basically) when the movieclips in the frame are visible.I'm trying to make a simple game where the user clicks differences and they (movieclips) are made visible in a table of discovered differences.When these movieclips are visible, the timeline should continue to the congratulatory frame.I was given the following code:
if(mc1._visible && mc2._visible && mc3._visible && mc4._visible){
somemovieclip.gotoAndStop("someframelabel");
}
I have replaced 'mc1' .etc with the instance names of the table entries recording what differences have been found. However, I don't know where to put this script (i assume it's on the frame where the movieclips become visible when differences are clicked). In addition, what do i replace 'somemovieclip' with?

Is it possible to add 5 movieClip in the main timeline, and add for each movieClip a Sound object at frame 5, so that when I play the main timeline, all sound are played simultaneously. Because if I store all Sound object in array, and I do for example (see attach code). That's correct ? Because the play method of Sound class have may latency.

meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);

I have an MC inside which consists of some images on different frames and some buttons which are supposed to gotoandStop on each of the frames. A simple gallery.
My plan is to create an MC for each gallery on my site and sit each one in a unique frame, so the main navigation btns go to a frame with an MC in it, then the MC buttons navigate within that gallery.
But the buttons aren't working.
Here's the button code inside the MC:
on1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop("on1");
}
Note: I've labelled the button instances and frames the same for ease of checking the code, there are multiple buttons here each with the same code except for the change in numbers.

I have a movie clip - it is a slideshow style mc, but instead of pictures, each frame is layers that include bulleted text, images, etc. - and it advances frames automatically with this code:
Code:
stop();
function wait() {
nextFrame();
}setTimeout(wait, 4500);
I need to set up a pause button that will stop the mc from advancing (i.e. ignore the wait function code above) and a PLAY button that will resume the auto-advancing of my movieclip. In my main timeline, I already have forward and backward buttons that work to advance/rewind frame by frame using this code:
Code:
stop();
//next button
next_btn.onPress=function(){
if(mc_content._currentframe==mc_content._totalframes){
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1)
[Code] .....
How to set up PLAY/PAUSE buttons that will stop/start all actions that are running in my MC?

"mc" + frameList[i].gotoAndPlay(1);
My movie clips are named "mc1, mc2" etc. I've got them on a layer named "BG" and each movie clip is in a key frame. The ActionScript is on a seperate layer named "AS".
