ActionScript 2.0 :: Telling Parent Movie From Loaded Swf

Jul 7, 2004

I have a parent movie that loads a swf(events.swf) file into a movie clip with an instance name of container. (container.loadMovie("events.swf");) It loads fine and seems to work great.

events.swf has a movie clip inside of it called design_mc that contains the content. In that movie clip I have a button that needs to target the parent movie and tell it to gotoAndPlay("eventsout"); which is on the _root of the parent movie. However, anything I try will not target the parent movie. I've tried _parent, _parent._parent, _root, and even assigning the parent movie this._lockroot = true; . Nothing seems to target the parent movie.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Telling Main Timeline To Play Backwards From Movie Clip

Apr 4, 2007

I am trying to tell flash from within a movieclip to start playing a specific frame within the main timeline only after it has finished playing the movieclip backwards.

Actionscript :: Play Movie Clip, Have It Wait Until End Of Main Movie Then Restart

Nov 17, 2011

I have a flash banner that includes a movie clip of the logo being animated. I want the logo animation to only run at the beginning of the main "movie". Currently I have to find the length of the entire movie (for ex. 500 frames) then put a key frame in at the 500th frame of the logo movie clip. I know there has to be a correct way to do this...Do I add a frame name at the end of the main timeline and somehow in AS in the logo movie clip say "when you reach X goToAndPlay(1);"?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Wait While Movie Clip Is Loading

Dec 30, 2009

In a movie clip, I have a function named addObject(string). Inside that function I am loading another movie clip (say, myObj1_mc) using attachMovie. After loading, I need to set the string passed to the text field inside the myObj1_mc. But it is not possible to do this immediately, because the movie clip will take some time to load after the attachMovie call. Means if we set this string in the next frame, it will be working. But in my case, I have to call addObject multiple times (from a single frame). In each time, different movie clips (say, myObj1_mc, myObj2_mc, etc.) are created dynamically and texts are set. So it would be better if I can wait until the movie clip (myObj1_mc) is loaded completely so that I can set the text, before the addObject function exit.
 
how can we wait, until a movie clip attached is completely functional.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Wait To Load Certain Movie Clips Or Frames?

Feb 9, 2010

I have seen flash sites that wait to load different parts of the flash file until you click on a link, thereby starting a loading graphic that then loads the content you're looking for. I can't find any information on how to do this, and I'm guessing I just can't find the right terminology.

Professional :: Test Movie --> Close It --> Minimize Flash --> Wait A Second Or Two --> Crash?

Feb 1, 2010

Has any one experienced a crash when using "test movie" in Flash CS4 on Windows 7?For me, it started when I began working on an Actionscript 2.0 project. It happens every time I test a movie, then minimize the window.I have tried re-installing Flash, but the problem still remains. The weird thing is, it waits until I minimize the window. No other time.

Php :: Flash - Telling Apart F4V From MP4 Files?

Dec 29, 2011

Both F4V and MP4 files have "video/mp4" as their MIME type. However, I'm working on a Wordpress blog where I want uploaded F4V files to be shown using a Flash video Player, and MP4 files using the HTML5 [video] tag. Obviously, I can't tell them apart using their MIME type. Is there any other way I could do it, aside of the file extension?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Telling If An User Is Online?

Feb 21, 2009

tell if a user is online, once they log in I set something in the database that say's they're online, when they log out change that. And set something up so they will d/c after 5-10 minutes of inactivity in case they log off any other way besides hitting "log out" However, I'm not exactly sure how I would do this, because the only way that I can think of wouldn't work, because say if they just closed their browser, then it would stop running my application, and thus stop running my check to check for inactivity..

how I can make sure if a user is already logged in accurately?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Telling Dynamic Text To Update?

Nov 3, 2009

From my main timeline actions, how can I tell a dynamic text box inside a movieclip to update? I have a movie clip with the dynamic text box called catalog. The instance name for the text box is catalogtext. On the main time line, I am using a loop to repeatedly attach the catalog movie clip. I want the dynamic text to show the value of i, and each time the movie clip is reproduced, increase by 1 each time.

Here is my current attempt:

for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {
container.attachMovie("catalog","catalog"+i+"_mc", i+200);
mycatalog_mc = container["catalog"+i+"_mc"];

[code]....

Everything works fine, but the text box won't show the value of i. I must not be calling it correctly?

IDE :: Telling MovieClip How Many Pixels To Move In X Direction

Apr 29, 2009

I'm moving a movie clip using actionscript (as2) instead of a motion tween (because I want to save file size) and I have this code on the first frame of the main timeline ("stone" is the movieclip instance name) and it tells the movie clip how many pixels to move in the x direction:
Code:
xTargetstone = 600;

I have this code on the movie clip itself ("stone" is the mc instance name) to handle the actual moving of the movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xstone = getProperty(_root.stone, _x);
movestone = _root.xTargetstone - xstone;
setProperty(_root.stone, _x, xstone + (movestone/5));
}

The movement works fine, but the issue is that it starts out fast and then slows down over time (even though that amount of time is small). The result is that the movie clip seems to wiggle and vibrate before it stops. Is there a way for me to change the code so that it doesn't wiggle and vibrate? perhaps something with the math I'm just not totally understanding? I would like a nice consistent motion from start to finish, while being able to set the time it takes to move etc.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Telling Compiler To Reference MovieClip From String

May 3, 2010

I'm trying to keep my code succinct by naming my section labels the same as the buttons that navigate to them. I've also put the contents of each page in a movie clip of the same name with suffix _mc. The following code successfully traces the name of the movie clip, but how do I tell the compiler that I want to reference the movie clip whose name is held in the string, rather than the string itself.

function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
currentContent = currentLabel + "_mc";
trace(currentContent);
currentContent.alpha = 0;
gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
mainNav_mc.gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);

But I can't find anything like an 'isPlaying' property.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Clock - Telling Time And Making Noise?

Jun 23, 2004

I was thinking the other week - wouldn't it be great to have a flash clock that not only tells a classy analogue time but also, like a church clock, gives out bell noises when the hour is reached, an also chimes the number of hours the time corresponds too. So at 1pm/am it will chime once, and at midnight you get 12 chimes and so on, I'm sure you get my meaning. I'm not great when it comes to working with sound, infact I've never added much more than a custom click noise on a button. How to go about this? I've attached a nice church bell noise for y'all just incase.

Make Embedded Flash Player Open Little Window Telling Them To Update It?

Jan 2, 2012

The flash player has a little window that can be opened (similar to flash->settings) telling the user to update the player if the movie loaded is for a more recent version. How can you instruct the player to do this? ITV have managed it with their catchup-tv player.

Context: I am allowing users to copy flash into their PowerPoint presentations and would like to tell them to update their flash player if necessary. I am not embedding a web page in the power point so no JS can be run for checking etc (because I know this is not necessary).
