I'm still a newbie at this program, I've wasted a lot of time tryin to figure out and resarching for solutions on how to play the 2 scenes I have created in flash. Scene 1 is a plane animation while the 2nd one is a time based animation that depends on the time in your computer. The movie should be played scene 1 first then scene 2. I have tried the gotoAndplay AS script but it doesnt work.
View 2 RepliesI am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.
View 4 Repliesim trying to play an audio file through 2 certain scenes in my project. for some reason i cant manage to do it, only to stream in through the entire project.
View 9 RepliesI simply don't understand why now at the end of my project, the last 5 frames are giving me such trouble. I have five scenes. The first scene plays fine. Second scene plays fine until just the end, then it grabs audio from the third, fourth and fifth scenes and starts playing them. Here is the site: [URL] (it is a site for children in Swedish) if you click the 3rd button to the right (3 Delan) you will notice that the sound starts truncating and then starts grabbing and placing into scenes before the next scene.
View 1 RepliesI might as well start by saying im a total and utter newbie to action script, I have literally been thrown into it in the past 3 days, Im a freelance illustrator and a client has just asked me to create a walk cycle animation for him (which i can do) but theres some action script involved and ive never used.
right i might aswell say what i need doing on the whole: When the completed SWF is opened up, I need;
A looping walk cycle of a character (done) , which, when a button is pressed (ive created the button already) the character stops the walking loop cycle, and changes into an aim animation, once the animation is complete, the character goes back into a walk cycle.
[Code]...
whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!
View 1 RepliesI have tried on google with no luck so before I spend anymore time on this would like to know if it's possible.I have 50ish very small 1 - 2 second swf files each one is like one slide. I would like to combine them all together into one flash file.Is this possible, as a note I don't have the original source files I have just been provided with the swf files.
View 3 RepliesI am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
I have 8 flash movies, each with 3 scenes within each one.What is the most effective way (by which I mean, takes the least amount of time to implement and produces a file without each and every object used in the library) to combine these 24 scenes into a single flash file so that they play consecutively and can be exported as a single SWF?EDIT: I know there is a method whereby you select all frames in each scene and convert these frames to a movie clip, however the main document then inherits all the objects from each MC in its library- this seems a cluttered approach. Is there a better way?

I have a "person" so to speak, in flash, with a few different parts; head, pants, shirt and hat. There can be, for example, 10 different colors of shirts for the person. I've done a lot of the AS3 code behind it, but I'm awful in flash, and I've had a ton of trouble with this.
What I'm really trying got figure out (in vain) is how I can have basically a blank skeleton structure (i.e. I'm trying to have "blank" or "placeholder" symbols connected by Inverse Kinematics as bones) consisting of the pants, shirt, & head, and when I find out that shirt #6 needs to be on the person... put it in that placeholder. Does that make sense? That's the big problem. The other thing is that I've had nothing but trouble figuring out how to have, for example, one or two outlines of shirts, and when it sees shirt #6, it fills in that shirt with blue dynamically. But that might be for another question.
How I have it now: In AS3, each of the parts, the shirt, the pants, the head & hat, have their own custom classes behind movieclips, and for example, I've got it set up that the body contains the pants, shirt and head classes, and the head contains the hat class, etc.
I am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
I am having a movie with 8 scenes and being in Thailand where the internet is slow I would like it to preload before it opens because now, after it opens a lot off the stuff ain't there yet like buttons and animations that are built into different scenes.
View 2 RepliesI upgraded to Flash CS4 and found out i dont like actionscript 3. i have an older flash site I opened in CS4 and all the actionscripts work on the scenes. I began a new flash file and created scenes with the actionscript 2, but it wont let me enter the script in the actionscript window. Here is an example of what i am using to navigate with buttons. Can someone chime in and show me a simple method to navigate thru the scenes with actionscript 3 or how to continue to use actionscript 2.

View 3 RepliesI've been asked to make a simple game and have very basic flash knowledge, I was approaching it as an "interactive comic" kind of way to make things easier for myself. However it's become very cluttered and I'm trying to figure out how to link scenes to keep things a little more organized so I don't make things harder than they need to be. I've looked online and followed the instructions to a tee, however when I try to impliment them into the game, nothing happens, no error code, just nothing happens. The .fla is too big to attach, so I've attached a brand new .fla using the same codes.
I've tried the following codes:
on(release){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", 1);
}
That didn't seem to work, so I tried naming the scene as you'll see and tried that, still nothing, I'm sure I'm missing something really simple but having very minor flash knowledge I can't see what that is.
For the downrankers:I have searched this question in the internet and found countless posts. But neither worked because of a small problem here or there, and when I though of posting my problems in the same thread I realized its a month/year/millennium old. So I'm gonna ask here.For other people:How do I switch scenes within a flash MovieClip object?
View 2 RepliesIt would appear that FileReference.upload() is the only way in which you can upload a file to the server in Flash and get feedback about its upload state via a PROGRESS callback. All other methods just go off into the ether and come back when the file upload is completed.
Unfortunately, FileReference appears to insist that a user select the file to be uploaded. There doesn't appear to be a mechanism by which to set the file through code. The reason I need this is that I'm allowing the user to upload massive files and am uploading them in chunks, so, I want to just pack a chunk of data into a FileReference (maybe 5 or 10 megs) and send that off and watch it go. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it's possible to manually load data into a FileReference object? The data property is read-only, sadly.
I am making a game and was wondering whether scenes have any efficiency/performance purpose or if they're just there to make Flash more organized?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a website which consists of an intro and the main page. For all intensive purposes, let's just call em intro.fla and main.fla.I would like to combine the two somehow
1) Turn the entire intro.fla into a movieclip and place it at the beginning of main.fla PROBLEM: main.fla is substantially larger, and will bump up the load time for the intro.
2) Run the intro, and have it load the main page with a UILoader.PROBLEM: The intro doesn't Unload, causing problems with the main page. How can I unload the intro.swf from it's self?
3) Somehow combine both .fla's before I convert to a .swf. I think that I could eventually figure out how to make it work properly, but I'd rather someone tell me what the preferred method is and why.

How do I edit the "MyContent.as" file so that I can add more scene to the flash. I understand that, once i put the "MyContent.as" in the document class, it will load immediately, is there any way to tell it to load only in scene 2 (which is where the xml is needed).
i am currently working on a flash game using multiple scenes. I have made a quick video highlighting exactly what is happening. I get no error messages ut it still occurs.bassically the first button links to a second scene and the second button links to the back to the first scene.

We're building a kiosk app that will have a fairly wide deployment. The app is in Flash running in a browser and requires the use of the webcam. As it stands, each kiosk will show the usual Flash "do you want to allow the use of your camera/microphone" dialog, which I suppose a local admin could click through, choose "remember," etc.
Given that this is a kiosk app, where we have access to the machines themselves (or at least to people who do), is there a way to pre-seed the whitelist so the dialog does not appear?
Is it even possible? Working with just AS3 files in FB4, can I just somehow attach a new Scene object to the root scene?
