I have a flash movie with an audio clip in it. I simply want to embed the movie in my page and when a user clicks a link in the HTML, it tells the flash movie to play. The onclick would trigger a JS function that would play the flash movie. Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).
View 1 RepliesHow can I control a flash movie in a window from a child (pop-up) window invoked via ExternalInterface's call method?
The name of the movie is myMovie. Using javascript in the popup, I try to access a function in the movie using document['myMovie'].flashFunction(). However, since the javascript is in the popup window and the flash is in another, the browser complains that the function is undefined.
This would have worked if the javascript and the movie were in the same window.
I use Firefox.

View 26 RepliesI'm trying to control the timeline in my Flash movie. How I have my movie set up is:
1. The main timeline with AS, sound, some text that appears at the end of the movie (credits), and a movie clip of an entire scene with background. Inside the movieclip background, I have several other movie clips of parts of a duck animating, the background scene changing color, and a mask that opens and closes the scene (at the begining it opens and at the end it closes), and an object that I just added ( a ball). I gave the ball an instance name of ball_mc and all I want to do is to make that ball stop from looping the animation when the ball's movieclip is done playing.
I've tried to put a stop(); at the end of the timeline in the ball's movieclip, but that did not work. I'm missing something, but I'm totally clueless when it comes to ActionScript. I've only been working with Flash for about 6 months and haven't really gotten into AS a whole lot.
I have been doing some searching around some and have come up with import flash.display.MovieClip; and this.stop(); or this.gotoAndStop(); and/or gotoAndPlay(); and ball_mc stop(); I've tried using these codes, but I'm still missing something. Sometimes, I get an error that comes up and says that my varable isn't defined. I have no idea how to define a varable?what i need to do to control the timeline to make my movieclip ball_mc stop playing at the end of the ball's movieclip on the timeline?
I have five moive clips in the main timeline starting from the first keyframe: intro, mc2, mc3, mc4, and mc5. I want to have a "previous" and "next" button on each frame (a different layer) to be able to go to a previous or next movie clip in the timeline.when I clicked "test moive" (without any ActionScripts), it always skipped the movie clip in the first keyframe and sometimes it did so to the second keyframed too.
View 2 RepliesLet say i got two movies: main.swf and moho.swf. What main.swf have inside is only one frame with a couple of graphics. And moho.swf (btw, did in Moho, u know the 2d animation software where u cant use AS.) that have 80 frames.So simple, what i need is to load moho.swf on main.swf. I already did that. But i want to be able to control moho.swf timeline so when moho movie reach its last frame (80) then go to its frame 60 and then again 80, and loop.

In Flash CS3 using Action Script 3, how can I tell the main timeline to gotoAndStop(); a certain frame from within a movie clip.
I have a menu (which is a movie clip) with various buttons. Each button corresponds to a certain frame in the main movie. So if a user click on Button1, it should gotoAndStop(1); and Button2 should gotoAndStop(2); and so on.
In Action Script 2, I could use _root.gotoAndPlay(2); from what I understand, but that does not work in Action Script 3.
Trying to load a movie clip into another movie clip and control the loaded clip timeline from main stage.

The movie appears to load, as it appears on the stage, but it throws the following error in the debugger on frame 1:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Additionally, I'm getting neither the result of function loadingError or function finishedLoadingFunction.

View 9 RepliesI have a button action not working to control another movie clip timeline. The movie clip timeline I want to control has an instance name but for some reason it's not playing. The button is on a different movie clip timeline. Both movie clips are on Scene 1. I think there is something wrong with my target path?

_root.insMcWorkNav.gotoAndPlay("lbWork04");
insMcWorkNav is the movie clip, lbWork04 is the frame to play

View 1 RepliesI have a simple movie consisting of 6 layers (photos). Each layer is set to display for 30 frames then fades into the next layer to give the impression of a slideshow. I have used a code snippet against the 1st layer so that if the mouse button is clicked it will go to a particular website.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_6(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http:blahblah.com"), "_self");
}
This works fine, however, once the clip goes beyond layer 1, if you press the mouse button again, it still goes to the web site specified even though I do not want it too. I have tried to add a second code snippet so that if it is on the 2nd layer it goes to a different web page and so on, for each layer, wanting it to go to a different web page. If I have more than 1 code snippet, as soon as it gets to the frame the snippet is on, it fails, and if I only have the 1 snippet, it runs for the entire duration of the clip

I have an flv movie file that I need to convert to swf and add an onclick event to it. I was able to do the first step by importing the flv movie and export it as swf. How can I add the onclick event? This swf will be an advertisement for a product and onclick I need it to redirect to a specific URL.
View 1 RepliesI have a web page with an SWF file on it which in turn loads and plays an FLV file. The SWF is embedded in a layer (referred to here as the "video layer") which is hidden at load time. Elsewhere on the page is a "view video" button which makes the video layer appear. However, I can't seem to find any way to make that video start playing when the video layer appears. My thought was to use Javascript and an onClick to start the playback but I haven't had any luck. I also have a "CLOSE WINDOW" button on the video layer that will have to stop the video playback and close the layer. I have been able to successfully make the video layer appear and disappear, but I have not been able to make the video play or stop. I will also need to make the video rewind at some point as well. Please note that the video itself plays fine if I set the FLV to Autoplay before publishing the SWF but then it starts immediately upon completion of page loading.
View 1 RepliesI have a music web site that has 20+ song titles per page. I have a small flash mp3 player for each song which works properly.I run into a problem though if you click to play a second song.

View 7 RepliesWhere can I find ready-made buttons that will control an FLV and a timeline together? I have a swf with an FLV and I animate images and phrases on a movieClip timeline timed to what they say in the flv. I set up cuepoints that trigger the animations, so when users scrub, pause, etc. the timeline eventually catches up with the FLV, but it would be a lot nicer if the pause, scrub, etc. would do the same to the timeline and there was no lag time.

I am planning to build a web page where external buttons using javascript commands like this <a onClick="javascript:LoadSWF( 1 ) ...>< img ... > and their code would instruct a SWF parent object ( embedded in the html code ) to load the desired interactive SWF child ( and replace a previous SWF child ) within it, where the user then could play with it.
My doubt however is, can a SWF embedded object receive external instructions from javascript code ? If so, how ?
is there a way to write a program in php or javascript that can load a flash file and interact with it? (click on buttons and such)
