Suppose I've got 2 SWF files, SWF 1 and 2. SWF 1 has several frames in it. Is it possible to use buttons in SWF 2 to change frames in SWF 1, and if so, what code would I use?
View 1 RepliesIn my first frame I have a triangle, second is a square, third is a rectagle and fourth is a circle.I have created the 4 frames as stated! I want to set up an array so lets say (circle,triangle,circle,square,triangle,rectangle) I then want the movie to play like that with a second or two in between each frame?**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 2: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handlervar active = 1;

i've created a mc and inside that i have a dynamic text field, named 'inside'. Iside the mc i've created three key frames, first frame is untouched, second frame, i've changed the color of my text to red, and in the third i've changed the color to yellow. Now i have i awful blinking mc.I'm trying to change the text of my text field. I'm guessing that for every key frame i create i get a new instance of my text field, so i should change the text in every frame of the mc. So i've tried:
mc.inside.text = "test";
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
mc.inside.text = "test";[code]....
well i know that the text changes in the current frame, but as soon as it goes to the next frame the text changes back to its original.
I have created an animation where I have pictures and text accompanying the pictures sliding in and out. However, I want to change the font of the text across the entire animation. What is the easiest way to do this? I have found when I have tried it, (changing the font in the text box) that sometimes it throws the whole animation out for each key frame that has that text (if this makes any sense). In other words, suppose I change the font in keyframe 1, the change it at the next keyframe, sometimes the second keyframe is no longer consistent with the first, perhaps only slightly and therefore the animation can run a bit choppy as it goes from keyframe to keyframe.
View 2 RepliesWhat I want to know is how to I access movie clips in different timelines in AS3.I want to be able to change the color of some movie clips. If I can access them directly there's no problem. Problem is when I try to access a movie clip that's inside another movie clip AND on frame 10.what I have is this:
var myColor:ColorTransform = somePath.transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0xFF0000;
somePath.transform.colorTransform = myColor;

Its a simple adding "game" where 2 numbers are randomly generated and you have to input what you think the answer is (userAnswer). Then it adds the two numbers it just generated to produce correctAnswer, and checks it against userAnswer. When you hit the check answer button, it moves the the score dialog frame and says whether its correct or not. But I am having 2 problems I think - 1 - I can't get the input textfield to assign the typed-in value to userAnswer (I'm trying userAnswer = inputAnswer.text; ) and - 2 - the second frame that has the score and "Correct!" / "Incorrect!" dialog can't seem to access any variables from the first frame. I've tried using two layers and keeping the variables on the second layer that spans both frames, but then the functions in the frames that you actually see can't change the variable to update it with the user's input.

View 3 RepliesI ve recently done an animation that shows 4 different images when any of 4 corresponding buttons are clicked. This part works ok, but Im currently stuck on how to go about creating a function that scrolls through each of these 4 images in sequence from 1 - 4 without clicking any of the 4 buttons.This is the actionscript code so far:
stop();
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void{[code].....
i'm trying to create a simple "slide show" where i am able to control the speed using a simple setInterval function. where i am running into trouble is that on a few of the frames i have some content (flv's etc...) that needs to play through before moving on to the next frame. so i need to stop at these frames while they play through and then continue (using the same interval set at the beginning) once they complete. i need this to be as flexible as possible as there will be alot of changes etc... i basically have it set up so far like this:
//main "wait"
var xInterval:Number;
xInterval = setInterval(nxtFrame, 2000);
function nxtFrame():Void
[Code].....
i'd also like to be able to have all of my script on the first frame.
i have this little display and when you click on certain items their alpha changes to 0.1, this worked fine until i added another frame with a different display on another frame. so now when you change frames and go to the new display then go back to the old display on frame 1 the alpha properties are all reset back to 1. So to fix this i thought i could simply add all the movieclips with an alpha less than one to an array when i left the frame then when you come back to the frame you could reset all the moviclips in that array back to having an alpha of 0.1. But this doesnt seem to work. here is the code i used.[code]But this code doesnt seem to work, the strange thing is even when i add some trace statements they tell me that the alpha does in fact equal 0.1 but visibally they haven't changed.
View 2 RepliesI want to go to a specific frame after a movie clip finishes, how do I do this?
View 1 RepliesI know this can't be to hard too achieve, but my actionscript skills aren't quite up to it yet.
- I have 5 frames within a MC.
- In this MC there is text saying "center", "left", "right", "up", "down" on each frame.
- All I want to be able to do is make the MC change to frame 3 "right" when my mouse moves to the right of the MC.
I know the script below is wrong, but would it go something like, this. Would I have to use angle and math or is there a simpler way to achieve this?

View 1 RepliesI have a 4 frame game that moves from frame to frame depending on what the player does.On the first frame, I have an intro and a button to get to the main portion of the game, frame 2. The frame loads up and the game code runs, but until the player clicks again on the stage, the keyboard controls do not function.The code for the button is straight forward. I have a button object and the following code in the frame:
playGame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); function goodLuck(evt:MouseEvent): void { gotoAndPlay(2); removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); }
I've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?
I havve accidently created extra unneeded key frames in a layer, in the middle of motion tween. I was wondering how to change these keyframes, without deleting them so not to change the length?
View 3 RepliesI want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

I've got a Flash page that has links as Movie Clips (Link1-8). The links are to different services, but right now they link to an external website. I'd like to make these link to different frames of another Movie Clip on the same page (Scrolling_Page).I'm not sure how to go about doing this, as all advice I've gotten hasn't worked thus far. It still just opens up a browser window and says it can't display "undefined".I've included the .fla in case no one can understand my gibberish.
View 3 Repliesi have my portfolio website which is a 1.5mb big flash presentation and i thought about making a preloader.the problem is that making a preloader for the entire site will take too long to load. i have tried that.
so i thought about making a preloader for each "page" or section of my presentation. for example- just for syneron, or just for m-systems (with each of them have a few diferent pages in the presentation, but their size is managable).
the problem is that i cant find anything is the preloader code that will let met control what frames to preload (for example, frames 100-200).
