Professional :: Moving Playhead Along Timeline
Aug 30, 2011I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for. I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it's single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.

View 5 RepliesFlex :: Check For Nil 'true' Value On XML That Is Passed Back From Webservice Call?
Sep 27, 2011I am receiving xml from a webservice call that contains a nil="true":[code]I used the Flex DataService (webservice) wizard to create the service objects for the cacheEntry component. This object will be serialized later on a different webservice call and stored in a database.I set a breakpoint on the set SystemFK method in the service object. It appears that the value passed in was an empty string!Allowing this value to be an empty string will cause problems in the webservice implementation in Java on the other side. Since the database value was null it is expecting a null in return, If I avoid setting this value, the serviceObject should send back a null which will make the database happy.How can I detect that a nil = true is present in the XML in order to avoid setting this value?

May 31, 2010I'm working on an audio player with a scrubbable playhead, per Kenny Bellew's outstanding tutorials [URL]In order to learn the mechanics and test drive it, I was able to create a fully functional model in its own movie.

(I'll be adding a song loading preloader later--the songs are dynamically loaded), but I can NOT get the playhead working completely. It will track the progress of the song, but if dragged, the song stops, the playhead snaps back into its original place, and the song stops for good (until re-loaded).
I'm just calling something incorrectly--the whole Audio section is in the _root.Audio MC, and the songs are loaded in to audioSong.
The code for the drag head:

onClipEvent (load) {

View 2 RepliesGet An Externally Loaded Movie Clip To Inherit The Playhead Position Of The Main Timeline?
Oct 17, 2009I have been approached to design a configurator for a new television product. The Application will let users specify the colours of certain parts of the product and also attach addons, which then updates a cost total.
In the main interface i have a looping animation of the product slowly rotating around 360 degrees that i rendered in 3ds max. When a user clicks a button on the interface i need to load an external movieclip on top of the main animation so it looks as though a certain part has changed colour, this i have acheived. The problem is that when i load the external clip over the original, the loaded clip starts playing from frame 1 and i need it to inherit the playhead position of the main animation so the two layered pieces look as though they are rotating as one. I'm sure this must be possible, unless i need to approach the problem in a different way?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Check For Completion Of Timeline
Mar 27, 2010I have a moveclip inside of another movie clip. "graphicsSpace" is the main clip. "graphicsMenu" is the clip inside it. When graphicsSpace is opened, it stays at frame1 and graphicsMenu runs through some animations and finishes. When it's done, I want graphicsMenu to tell graphicsSpace to go to its second frame. Yet every time I'm getting this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Portfolio_fla::GraphicsMenu_30/frame156() I was just using this basic code on the last frame of graphicsMenu: this.graphicsSpace.gotoAndPlay(2); Nothing else.

View 5 RepliesPlayhead Not Functional In Motion Editor?
Sep 4, 2009The playhead in Motion Editor doesn't work and I'm seeing in tutorials.I can't scrub it along the timeline.When I pick a keyframe point it doesn't appear there unless I change the value of that point. If I then click on the playhead rectangle, the playhead disappears (actually it appears to jump to the first frame where it's half visible and can't be moved).I was playing with the motion editor interface trying to better define the problem and I figured out what's wrong.
The Motion Editor values for graph size, expanded graph size, and viewable frames were unusable in their default settings. In particular, viewable frames were set to 1 by default. As I increased the value the playhead started to function. I can't set a value higher than 117. I've maxed-out the graph size setting at 180 (300" wide format display) and the expanded graph size at 200.
ActionScript 1/2 :: FLVPlayback Playhead Not Moving
Jul 14, 2008I'm using the FLV playback component in AS2 published to Flash 9.
I'm loading in a list of possible FLV (and mp4) videos from XML and then based on the user's input setting the contentPath of the component.
I'm using the external steel playback controls--although I've tried some of the other ones as well.
The video is starting just fine. The metadata is received. But for some reason the little triangle that shows how much of the video has played isn't moving. I can drag it and seek around, but then the triangle just sits there.
I've checked the playheadUpdate event and it is giving the correct percentages every little bit (I'm guessing 250 milliseconds which it says is the default interval).
Professional :: Get The Playhead To Move Forward?
Apr 1, 2012I have simple flash CS4 file (AS3) with a video playback component in a movie clip called "video". The only other thing in this flash movie is a script to load another SWF file as soon as the video is done playing....If I use stop() on the frame with the video - it will play - but then the playhead will not move forward to the next frame which has the next script and if I leave the stop() off - it plays only a a few frames of the video and moves on to the next frame and executes the script that loads the swf file.
Everything I've read requires a button event - and I don't need a button. I just need the video to play - then the next script to execute.Here are the only scripts in the flash movie:
***************************** // in the frame containing video component
stop()
*********************************** // in the next frame after video component.
stop();
