ActionScript 2.0 :: Executing LoadMovie And Go To Action With Button
May 13, 2002
I'm trying to Load a Movie in into level0, and I want the playhead to automatically go to Scene 4, label "Start". I don't want to place no actions on the frames of the loaded movie. Thus, I need Flash to first load the movie, then go straight to Scene 4, label "start". I want the button to execute both these actions consecutively.
Here's the syntax I'm using now:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("moneyscene.swf", 0);
} on (release) {
_level0gotoAndPlay("Scene 4", "start");
}
And I tried this:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("moneyscene.swf", 0);
} on (release) {
tellTarget ("_level0") {
gotoAndStop (Scene 4, "start:";
}}

I'm using the loadmovie action on a frame that is played several times when certain buttons are clicked and the problem is that everytime the frame is played it would load the new movie again. Is there a way to disable the loadmovie action after it is executed the first time? I only need it to play once and thats it.

I have some action on a timeline, on frame 10 (a keyframe). So currently I'm on frame 1, and when I gotoAndPlay frame 10 , the code gets executed.
BUT, when I'm on frame 1, and I gotoandPlay frame 11 , the code does NOT get executed!! It was a shock actually, cuz I never thought flash would behave this way. Or is this something new with Flash/AS3?
If Im jumping to any frame after 10, how can I let that code be executed? Note that im just giving a numbered example, but in reality, I dont know which keyframe has some code.

Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}
Everything I have attempted is not working.

I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?

How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.

i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?

edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.

I'm very new to flash and working with action script 2.0, and I need to know if it is possible for a button to have more than one action. More specifically a first and second action. I want (when button is pressed) to zoom into my stage and then change to scene 2. This doesn't seem difficult to do but I don't know the code in which to do it.

I have music for my site that I want to load from an external file. The external file has a play and stop button in it (which work perfect). I can get the music to load if I make a button that triggers the loadMovie to happen, but can't figure out how to get it to loadMovie using a frame. Basically I just want the main site to load and I want the external music file to load automatically w/o pushing a button or anything. Here's the code I was trying, but the music controller and music never load into the main movie:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
loadMovie("mcMusic.swf", "music_container_mc");
}
I tried that code on the music_container_mc movieclip but it does nothing.

I use to be able to create a button in flash 8 and add an action on it such as "geturl". Now that I am in Flash CS3, the action panel tells me "current selection cannot have actions apply to it". This does not make any sense, how can I add action to my button now ?

I have a main SWF that is comprised of scenes. I have buttons that go between those scenes at the bottom (prevscene, nextscene). This works well. On the last scene, I have it loadmovienum and it loads an SWF that has a few scenes in it. It also has the buttons to go between those scenes, which works well.My issue is the first scene of that SWF that is loaded in the main SWF needs to have a button that will send the main SWF to the previous scene in it. Of, conversely, I need the buttons in the main SWF to tell the loaded SWF to go nextscene/prevscene.

i'm wondering if i can activate the loadMovie function without button press. usually you see loadMovie utilized like so:
on (release) {
_root.emptyMC.loadMovie("yourmovie.swf");
}
but i'm trying to utilize it so when the user enters the page on the very first frame, the external SWF is loaded into the empty movie clip already. i tried inserting
_root.topSection.loadMovie("topSection.swf", _root.topSection);
in an actions layer on the very first frame of my movie, but when tested nothing is loaded.

how can I apply an action to a button. I am using the Flash CS3 and I know that I can only apply actions to instances but I still can't make it work. It's a very simple file, I have 2 frames and I want a button on the first frame (with the instance name "hdg") that on release goes to frame 2 and stop.
I can't make it work:
my_btn.onRelease = function () {
trace ("onRelease called");
};
I also want the movie to stop on the first frame, so that it does go straight to frame 2 but with the action of the instance there's an error.

I want to apply an action to my button so that it plays a mc on frame 2 of the mc, but in the actions palette in the window to add an action it says: Current selection cannot have actions applied to it. This thing is definitely a button but I will say that I have a mc and text box in each of the 4 frames of the button. But why should that cause an issue? With the button on the stage, I can view the up/over/down states by going: control --> enable simple buttons, so it is acting as a button.

Attempting to add an action to a button using the Behaviors panel, I get a choice on numerous actions but no events. "Event" always is always empy--no "On Release," no anything.
How can I prompt some options in the "Events" part of the Behavior Panel.

I must not be looking in the right area as it seems there is no way to search one particular Adobe product at a time, only "Search Forums" which means I get a bunch of useless results to "keyboard navigation" and "keyboard shortcuts" and the above subject. I am a novice user with a novice question for which there doesn't appear to exist any readily available information for which means I don't expect anyone will answer this question but I'll go ahead with it anyway in the hopes that maybe someone will read this w/in the next few months.
Here is what I'm wanting to do:
First I want to establish a list of frames on the timeline I would like the user to be able to jump to at the press of a keyboard button say the down arrow. Say this list consists of the following frame numbers, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20. I would like that if they are watching the movie on frame 12, upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 15 and if they are on frame 22 upon pressing the down arrow it will jump to frame 1 etc.. I do not however want it to direct them to frame 1 if they are on frame 12 and press the down arrow for the first time.
This seems like a severely easy question (at least the part about keyboard navigation) for which I would expect they would have it in the Adobe classroom in a book or some official tip or direction about how to do this w/out possibly having to spend 15,000 years learning a coding language to do one goddam thing!

Created button that activates short animation AND ALSO connects to URL.
I want viewer to see full animation (26 frames that lasts about 1.5 seconds - 18 frames per second). Instead the button connects almost instantaneously to URL and viewer does not see animation.
Animation automatically plays (full loop - 26 frames) when viewer first opens swf/html. The same animation plays again when viewer clicks button to go to URL.
Is there some code in AS3 that can delay the connection to the URL until the 26th frame of the animation.I am beginner/intermediate to Flash and extreme novice to Action Script (get most of my AS coding from searches online). Need to be led by my hand in Action Script.[code]...
