ActionScript 2.0 :: Communication Between Movies - OnRollOut Function?
Sep 26, 2005
I am having trouble making 2 movies communicate with one another. One movie (series) is embedded into the other (content2). 'content2' is a horizontal scroll menu of images. 'series' is a movie that holds 'content2' and contains a mask which will reveal everything upon the rollover of the 'series' button. I can get the scroll to show and work when the button is rolled over but it fails to hide on roll out.
Here is the code I have used on the roll over button called 'series':
Code:
stop(); // stop the movie clip from playing (stop button from growing, we want that when the mouse rolls over only
sym2.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){ //if rewind switch is set to true play backwards
prevFrame(); // play backwards
[Code] .....

I've got an html page with 2 different movies: 'movie1.swf' and 'movie2.swf'. Is there a way that 'movie1.swf' can play to a certain frame and when it reaches that frame, can tell 'movie2.swf' to start playing? The thing is they are 2 separate swfs rather than 2 movie clips within the same swf.

I was wondering if it is possible for two instances of the same SWF movie (for simplicity) running on different browser windows (or tabs, for that matter) to communicate with each other?
I guess the key question is that are there facilites built into AS 3.0 that allows an SWF to "listen" for different events or notifications coming from other browser windows/tabs? I know this might be an application or sandbox security violation, but I would like a new instance of the same SWF to cause the older one to close itself.

I'm new on AS3, I'll try to explain what my project consists: Well, There is a main.fla and It loads external movies triggered by button items. The content animation sequence introduction starts with tweenLite and fills the stage with elements from Library (movieClips, buttons) and some sprites. I've built the intro animation through actionscript. Perhaps I'll need to explain how I did it the TweenLite structure, but the code lines are too long
The transitions / navigation:
Each button before load the external movie has a respective animation that removes the other buttons from the stage. It triggers an "outro" animation and then loads the External Swf.
First:
Each external Swfs contains a removeChild action in a MovieClip that CLOSES and removes the movie.. Like a "pop up" with a close action. After closed It should replay the intro animation and replace the buttons in the stage but it's not happening because I don't know how to communicate between different timelines / external movies.

I have some thumbnails on my stage inside a movieclip, and the following code which basically moves them right or left, when the mouse goes right or left. What I want to do is stop the scrolling when I rollout the movieclip which contains the thumbnails.
Here is the code:
Code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;

I have an issue that has been plagueing me all morning. I've searched and searched on google, here, other flash sites, and even though I've seen a couple people with related problems, no solutions have seemed to tailor to my project.I am working with a series of invisible buttons that perform actions on a movie clip and a text field to simulate the rollover. However, I'm finding there is a problem with the rollout. When you move your mouse over the buttons quickly, they often seem to ignore the rollout command and stay on the rollover state.
Warning to anyone downloading the zip is that I'm utilizing mc_tween. However, I created this same scenario a couple weeks ago (lost my work from a faulty drive, and I'm redoing it now), and I had no issues. Obviously, my code ended up slightly different in the rebuilding of this thing, but this side effect is really holding me back.

I have a simple scroller that scrolls up or down as the user moves their mouse. The problem is that when you RollOut the scroller keeps moving. I can't figure out how to put a onRollOut function that will stop the scroll upon RollOut.
years.onRollOver = yearsOver;
function yearsOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = yearsPanel;

When I use:
on (release){
this.stop();
getURL("page.html", "_blank");
}
Why is it that when that new page window is loaded the background flash window then runs my
on (rollOut){
this.play();
}
function? I am trying to pause the timeline I am clicking from in Flash. If I take this line out (this.play() it pauses, but if I were to go that way how would I start getting my MC to play again when the user gets back to the flash window?

I created a function with input variables, so I don't have to repeat this function X amount of times. But within the function is a TweenLite call and that call has an onComplete. This onComplete somehow doesn't understand what the variables filled in in my function represent.
PHP Code:
function navMenuInput(check01:Boolean, check02:Boolean, movieClip01:MovieClip, movieClip02:MovieClip){ if(check01 == true && check02 == false){ if(movieClip02.stage){ TweenLite.to(movieClip02, 1, {alpha: 0, onComplete: navMenuInputComplete} ); }else{ navMenu.addChildAt(movieClip01, 0); movieClip01.x = navMenu.width-
[code]...
EDIT:I think I can make this a bit more clear when I explain what this is supposed to do:This menu can reach it's end via different routes. So the user can choose Path A or B, but what I'm trying to set up here is. If A is on stage, A should be removed first before B is placed and vice versa. And because this happens for about 4-5 times I wanted to shorten the code by using something like this.

im trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.

I've had to create the following code to get a series if loading movies to work properly. Each loaded movie is basically a series of automatically looping images controlled by external xml. I found that without adding the unload movie on each button action the first movie loaded kept playing over any subsequent movies loaded. However its rather long winded and if the amount of movies increase it really is going to be very large. How to create an efficient funtion that does the job in a more effective way:
intro_mc.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovie ("_root.container02");
unloadMovie ("_root.container03");
unloadMovie ("_root.container04");
createEmptyMovieClip("container01", 2);
loadMovie("deaf_intro.swf", "container01");

I have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far

I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script
[Code]...
However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?

If I roll over the button tweens from alpha 50 - alpha 100%.If I rollout it goes back to 50% via a tween.If I click and hold and or I click very fast and move the mouse away from the button the rollout fails.It keeps the picture at 100%.Is there a way to stop this from happening.Basically with the mouse button held down and moving the mouse off the button prevents the rollout from working properly.

I have a movie which is serving as a button. When you rollover the image, it grows, and stops. When you rollOut, it shrinks, and stops. This code works fine.The Problem: When you scroll the mouse over quickly, the animation get stuck and doesn't execute the rollOut code.Here's my code:
Actionscript Code:
thumb_test_4.onRollOver=function this.gotoAndPlay(2);}thumb_test_4.onRollOut=function () { this.gotoAndPlay(6);}

This may be simple. All i want to do is prevent the onRollOver event from firing while the tween for the onRollOut event is playing.

I just have a simple button set up to move a BOX on rollOver using tweens and move it back into position onRollOut.
Problem: The onRollOut function doesn't work consistantly. It works ok most of the time, but if I move the mouse quickly (not like crazy quick), the BOX doesn't get back into place.
Is there a way to "secure" an onRollOut statement to make sure it works at all time? I try also adding onReleaseOutside, onDragOut... but that is not the problem.

I am creating a calendar and only one part isnt work. That part is the movie (mc_nav). I have the mc_nav movie on each month's stage. The buttons are named correctly since I used normal modes reference thingy to double check the references. I am trying to have it move to the next frame in the movie, or back, or to the 3rd frame etc. The first section (NAVIGATION BUTTON LINKS) works fine. It is just when I try to navigate on the Scene 1 stage, from a movie within a movie, that the trouble arises. Each of the month movies (mc_sep, mc_oct, etc) have mc_nav placed on them. Then the month movies are placed in Scene 1 on each of their respective frames (mc_sep = 4, mc_oct = 5, etc). When testing the movie and I am sent to any month page, the navigation (mc_nav) wont work. The syntax according to the flash debugger is correct. The action script goes all the way through to the last frame (13) and the stop(); command is set to stop the movie at frame 3 (the splash page).
