ActionScript 2.0 :: DELAY Function - Make It Wait Before It The Timeline Goes To The Certain Frame#?
Feb 3, 2009
Okay my_btn will do this;
image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");
gotoAndPlay(frame#);
What i want to do, is, make it wait before it the timeline goes to the certain frame#, so the image_loader1 loads its image1. I'm making it wait, not because it takes time loading (which it would not, since image1 is already on the stage, loaded up in image_loader2) but the image still takes time to show on the image_loader1 (half a second).So, I want my_btn to be functioned like this that it performs its first action which is
'image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");' and then 'gotoAndPlay(frame#);'..

I'm just trying to make a simple function that will return all the data from my SQLITE database as an array. But it looks like when my function is returning the array, the SQL statement is actually still executing... so it's empty... Does anyone have a suggestion? Or am I just going about this whole thing wrong.I know I could just have the event listener functions outside this function, and they could then set the data. But i'm trying to make a AS3 Class that holds all my SQL functions, and It would be nice to have everything for this particular function just in one function, so it can return an array to me.
public function getFavsGamesArray():Array
{
getFavsArraySql.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, res);

I'll try express this as easily as I can: I have an input text box (call the instance whatever you want). What it does is when you type a word, it makes another movie clip (let's say the instance is MORPH) go to a certain frame. The code is simple, but I'll give it to you to give you a better idea:
[Code].....
check is just a light that turns green if the word is complete, so ignore that. Whenever the MORPH object goes to, say "Earth", it plays an animation and afterwards, it hit's a gotoAndStop(1); code, stopping it at the first frame. What the problem is, say, you type earth, it goes to the EARTH animation, but before the animation finishes and goes back, you type EARTH again and it skips straight to the start of the animation. It looks very rough and bad.
What I want is, say I type Earth and the animation plays, and before it finishes the animation, and I type EARTH again, it waits until morph get's back to frame 1. So yeah, to delay a function until a certain frame is reached. Oh, and another thing. Is there a way to make a button click with AS2? Pretty much when it makes contact with another object, it... clicks (whatever it does to reach the DOWN frame and stay there until the other object moves off).

how to make a textlink go to a frame in my timeline?Without making a button? What I need it for: A text colum with multiple links � witch needs to be adjusted now and then. For every word that changes, I have to move all my buttons in the text field. If I could make the text in it self ("click here") contain the link it would be much easier.

An external swf file (swfEx), which contains a button, is loaded into another swf file(swfLd). When clicking the button contained in swfEx, it should navigate to a certain frame of the main timeline of the swfLd movie and at the same time remove swfEx from swfLd.

I'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.

I want to make the timeline go to the next frame (ie gotoAndStop) only if two button instances are invisible. For the buttons I have scripted an on(release) to make them invisible, but I don't know how to use the if function to make my animation progress when they are both invisible.

I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button. I added an event listener to the blog button by saying[code]...
i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?

I am working on AS3 and I have a created a button class which have an off state and on state. I did the class and it works fine, but i need a little fine tuning. Right now I am polling the button state from the root(main timeline) by checking a boolean property in the button class. I feel it is quite inefficient to check the button state on every enterFrame event of the main timeline. Rather I would prefer the button to tell the root time line by invoking a function written in the root, whenever a state change occurs. t should be cleaner , right?? But when I try to access a function in the root which goes like this

I'm stopping on a keyframe, then using setInterval to advance after a specific timeout. The first time through everything works fine, but when the movie loops (user-initiated) and it gets to that keyframe with setInterval again, setInterval immediately advances the timeline and doesn't wait any time at all. The keyframe in question is coded like the following:

I have a script that takes lots of content and builds 1000s of MovieClips on the stage, does lots of drawing etc. Due to the high amount of work needed when the frame first loads this can sometimes be delayed by a second or two. The more the user uses the application the longer and longer this is likely to be (more data to siphon through and build). My question to you is how do I make sure the frame doesn't show (serve a loading image or something) until it is built? I don't want the user to see the skeleton of the page and then everything appear a second or two later.
