I'm using a combobox to jump to different frame lables. Nothing is working. Here is my code:
menuCombo.addItem("Home", "Home")
menuCombo.addItem("About Us", "About Us")
menuCombo.addItem("Products", "Products")

I have a combo box, and when a item from the drop down is selected I want to jump to a frame label on the timeline...Thats it.I dont know how to go about setting it up.I think it must be something Im not doing within the component inspector...Ive given the combo box the instance name of myComboBox here is the code I'm using:
myComboBoxListener = new Object();
myComboBoxListener.change = function(eventObj)
{
var eventSource = eventObj.target;

I am trying to use buttons to jump to frame labels. They jump to the label just fine, but they won't stop when pressed again. Below is the code I am using to have the button rest when pressed again.
getting_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gettingStarted);
function gettingStarted(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("ipad_in");
[code]...
The below code show the labels from previously selected list?
Steps to reproduce:
Click on List AB Open the list but don't select / click any item Now click on List CD Open the list again and you see A, B as labels instead of C,D but if you click on any item then everything comes properly

I know how to link a combo box to url's but i need to be able to link the data to different frames in my project.
View 7 RepliesThe button tells the playhead to jump to the next frame with this code:
on (press){nextFrame ();} Where can I put a "+ 2" in there to make it jump 3 frames ahead?
I have several labeled clips in my timeline for a website i am making. the clips are in and out transitions and are labeled like this: home_in, home_out, products_in, products_out, contact_in, contact_out, etc. so, my button code is like this:
[CODE]....
I'm trying to build a basic website, and I want it to where when I click a button for another page, it plays the out animation for the current page, then the in animation for the page selected. Basically, for example:
Frames 1-10 are the out animation for a page, frames 20-30 are the in animation for page 2. When I click the button for page 2, I want it to play 1-10, then jump to and play 20-30.
I'm using the Flashdock component from FlashWebTools. The online tutorial gives the code for loading a swf in the mcTarget:
Code:
navigationMenu.addEventListener("onRelease", this, "onNavigationMenuRelease");
function onNavigationMenuRelease(Sender) {
// Sender is the released button
[code].....
What I want to do is have two of the buttons open an html page (_blank), and the rest of the buttons to jump to a specific frame in the current flash movie. What code would I use for this? I'm assuming there would be no more need for the mcTarget symbol, right?
i have on a close button code which says gotoAndPlay this frame (the onrelease effect) etc...anyway at the end of this effect i have a stop aswell as _root.gotoAndStop("home"); the home that appears there and what your looking at, at the end of the effect is the same thing...so why am i getting this jumping or flash? before it goes back to normal?
View 1 RepliesI want to make an interactive flash file, and the way I want to have it layed out is that a steady animation will play in one layer, while being able to jump around in frames with events such as a mouseover.I'm going to give a generic example, this isn't what I'm going to do, but it gets the point across.Theres a house and a tree. The leaves on the tree are falling, and upon mouseover of the house door, the door will open. Yet the leaves will remain falling (without skipping frames in the animation) while the door is still opening.How do you do this without using a goToAndPlay(x) or such that jumps the whole animation?
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to figure out the basics. Right now I'm just trying to make a flash sequence that continues to jump randomly from frame to frame without stopping.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a function that looks at two Frame Labels and calculates the number of frames between them. This is what I've got so far:
Code: Select allfunction convertLabelsToFrames (targetClip:MovieClip, startFrameLabel:String, endFrameLabel:String):int
{
var time:int = targetClip.endFrameLabel.frame - targetClip.startFrameLabel.frame;
return time;
};
The problem I'm having is that you don't seem to be able to find a FrameLabel within a MovieClip in the simple sort of way that I've used above (I know the way I specify here won't work). It does seem, though, like there should be SOME way of finding a FrameLabel within a MovieClip.
I have been tasked with making this happen [URL] - What Ive done is take out footage and include keyframes for each frame (cue points on every frame), which i read helps with scrubbing... and it does. however using an invisible scrubber bar (seekbar) just isnt smoooth enough... So i was wondering if I could register an eventListener on the mouse and when it moved forward, jump x frames/time forward in the flv clip.
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to add an action script for a button that is able to jump to different frames of a movie and play them in sequence. For example I want to be able to add an action script to a button so that when the button is released I want the movie (animation) to start at frame 10, play till it reaches, frame 20, then immediately jump to frame 30, play to frame 40 and then stop. The Idea is to play different animations in sequence with just one button. Whenever I press the button I don't want to see the animation in frames 1-9 or 11-19. If I can figure out how to do this I will be to have different buttons controlling different sequences of the animation of the movie.
View 3 RepliesI am working on a game and would like to put code for different levels on the same timeline layer, mark the frames with labels (level1, level2...) and add different action script to it. Can this be done, and are there some limits. It is a small tetris like game, and each code would be mainly adding children to a stage, from an array and checking for a collision with objects added on a different layer on the same frame as the label. Also it would change score and so on.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie with various movie clips on certain frames. What I want is the playhead to randomly jump to different frames I specify within the movie after each Movie clip has played. So at the end of each movie clip there would be a random script forcing the playhead to play another movie clip randomly. My movie has 100 frames but I only want the random sequence to occur on the following frames 10, 13, 25, 86, 75, 56. Or If I labelled the frames how would I label them?? Would they all have to have the same label, or each label different?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to target labeled frames using a simple gotoAndStop command but for some bizzare reason the code doesn't recognise labels only frames.

It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I am brand new to scripting in Flash, and was hoping I could get some help on a question. I have an animation that is 300 frames long. The first 100 frames are an animated 'ad' (for lack of a better term), the second 100 frames are a different ad, and the third 100 frames are the last ad. This can be viewed straight from beginning to end (and is intended to loop if no action is taken), but I would also like to add some functionality to the animation, so that people can jump forward to the next ad, or back to the previous ad (hitting back from the first ad would take them to the third ad, and vice versa.)
[Code]...
This does not turn up any errors when I test the movie, but the functionality does not work. Am I anywhere near a working script, or am I attempting this in a completely wrong way?
Anyway, my question is this: In AS3, how do I get it to (for example) gotoAndPlay frames 15-20, then jump to frame 50?Basically I have a heap of buttons, all of which (when pressed) I would like to play frames 15-20, but then each go to a different frame once they've reached frame 20...
View 2 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.
View 7 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesI have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
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.
