ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 - Make Button Go To Next Frame In Embedded Swf
Jul 28, 2009
I was wondering if there is a way for a button on the main timeline that when pressed will go to the next frame in an embedded swf. The embedded swf is inside a movieclip with the instance name "gallery" so I thought the following code would work
Code:
on (press) {
gallery.gotoAndStop (_currentframe+1);
}
Flash says the code is okay but no luck. I am new to AS to I must be missing something. Any pointers?
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
I want to make a button that makes you got to a random frame within a certain range (eg frame 41-50) when you press it. I have tried various codes but so far no luck. Im using AS 2 and the button is within a couple of movie clips, but you can still click it when you test
I can't believe how impossible it has been to find info about this. I'm sort of a beginner with actionscript, but this shouldn't be as hard as I'm finding it to be.
I'm using AS2. I have an ordinary FLV video playing with one of the skins that comes with the Flash software (CS3). That all works perfectly fine. What I need to do, however, is add a large "PLAY" button over top of the movie. I have made that work also. But, I need the button to disappear when the movie starts playing, because it is obviously in the way and making it hard to view the video.
Some forums suggested making that button disappear when it is clicked. That would be fine, except that the video player skin also has a play button, and if someone clicks that button instead of my new large button, I still need the large button to disappear.
So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is something like: if the FLV is playing, make this object (the button) disappear or become invisible. This can't be that difficult!
After clicking this button i go to a random frame from frame 1-5 .. something like that.If i ever click this button this goes me to a frame ranging from frame 1 up to frame 5LOl does this make sense.. .XD just answer me i'm going nuts lewl )How do i make a numerical stepper like thisSTR : 1/10AGI : 1/10LUK : 1/10 STATS AVAILABLE : 20I made the limit for each stats but it stills doesn't reduce the stats nor go to the limit of 20 instead they go like thisSTR : 10/10AGI : 10/10LUK : 10/10 STATS AVAILABLE : 20
I'm fine with on(release) to take to a new frame etc but this is my situation.
Imagine a Windows PC. You click the Start Button, it makes the start menu appear, no matter what folder/window/software you have open. Now liken it to a flash movie. Interactive, to make a button to make a set of graphics appear in a set place on the frame.
Im trying to make a back button using AS3 in CS4 here is the code im using function onClick12(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndPlay(50);} reo_btn.addEventListener MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onClick12); it brings me back to the specified frame but when I click next on that frame it brings me to the frame following the one with the back button. here is my code for one of those frames stop();
Using action script 3 ( preferably ) is there a way of making it so when clicked my button takes you to a particular frame in another separate flash movie. ie frame 255, - and not just load frame 1 of the other movie.
i put a code in to Flash AS3 to go to another frame when the play button is clicked, and it has worked successfully. But when it goes on to the other frame and i click, the play button comes up and keeps making the game i've made restart. Does anyone know how i can stop the function after it's gone onto the next frame?
Ive got a portfolio, with buttons that loads things from the portfolio, eg volvo.swf, ikea.swf and ford.swf into the same loader.underneath ive got another ext swf with two buttons, next and back, and i want them to go to next and prev on the eg. volvo.swf if that's the one which is loaded. but it doesn't work!the code below, loads the arrows(next/backbuttons) alright, but i dont know how to get them to gotoAndStop on the next /prev fram on the loaded swf.
Code: Select allvar myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("arrow.swf");
Im trying to get my head around actionscripting....and this is what i have so far....but its not working as i want.
what im trying to do is make the button frame go to frm2 when its clicked and in so doing, it makes the _root goto the respective label. how can i tell the other buttons (mcs) to stay at frame 1 when one of the other buttons are clicked?
var is new for me....am i setting it right?
code inside button container mc:
Code: // var C=0; //
[Code]....
also, how can i add a rollover functionality that does not break the other commands on the buttons (ie: stop at frm2)
I Want to have a button info_btn. Now i know how to make a button and link it to a scene/frame.
But what im asking is, i want the button to display something (text field or movieclip(doesn't matter )) but I do not want it to go to another scene or frame if you know what i mean ? i want it to display there and then on the same scene and frame with a button to close it.. Is this possible?
What I am trying to do is get a button to make a movieclip go to a specific frame. I have a movieclip that plays a set of frames up to the 100th frame, and then I tell it to go back to and play frame 1 again. However, at about 105, I have another set of frames that I want to play at the push of a button. How would I go about doing this?
I have a main scene, then sitting in the root scene I have 2 movie clips.1)centro2)fotoIn the first movie "centro" there is a menu btnI want this menu btn to call up mclarge + its frame (1) thats housed 3 levels inside the foto mc in root.Main scene - (1) centro (banner which houses menu btn) (2) foto_mc- Main_boy_mc (<---works if menu btn houses in here)- mclargeI WANT:(1) centro menu btn to call up mclarge with specified framerate (1)WHAT WORKS SO FAR:When I have the menu btn from centro housed in Main_boy mc it works.his is the current AS2 im using in this level-
on (release) {this._parent.mclarge.gotoAndStop(1); } on (release) {this._parent.mclarge_fade.gotoAndPlay(1);
I'm trying to make a generic button to call an specific frame but when I'll try it with trace it works perfect... when I make a goto code on it it messes up my entire count....here is the code I'm using...does anyone know whats happening? how can I fix this? here is my code
how to make a button go to a specific frame on the main timeline my button called a play_btn and i want it to go to a specific frame on the main timeline ???
i'm trying to make a button that when held will go to the previous frame, pause for 0.042 (24fps)seconds and then loop again until the mouse is releasedso something like thisI think know the first bit of code from much forum trawling, but have been unable to find anything further.I am an almost complete newb to programming, having online done a tiny amount of vb several years ago,just wonderingtranslate this following script into as3, and also point out if it won't work.
stop(); Rewind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, RewindEvent); function RewindEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
I want to make the timeline go to the next frame (ie gotoAndStop) only if two button instances are invisible. For the buttons I have scripted an on(release) to make them invisible, but I don't know how to use the if function to make my animation progress when they are both invisible.
I have an instance of a movie clip on the stage that jumps to different labels (within the movieclip) when the large buttons at the top of the scene are in rollover state. The problem is that it stays there when the mouse leaves the button.
How do I make that symbol go back to frame one (not there) within the movie clip so that it disappears when there is no activity on the buttons?
Is there a button parameter like MOUSE_OFF (I know that's not one)?
1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.
