ActionScript 2.0 :: GotoAndPlay From First Frame On Same Timeline
Mar 23, 2010
I've got a timeline and four buttons which each gotoandplay from the first frame on the same timeline. But I want each button to Stop() at different frames on the same timeline. So is it possible to do a GotoAndPlay ... And Stop function on a button in flash?
I am working on a site that involves a dropdown gallery menu. I have placed four buttons inside the dropdown menu and it works only with the geturl function, but i want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame outside of the movie clip. is that possible? Here is the link. TJ2 Studios
Im sorry if i am not clear. My actionscript is coming along very slowly. I created a dropdown menu inside a button. This button is supposed to gotoAndPlay frame 365 outside of the mc i created within that button, ie on the main timeline. But it does not work. However when put the script getURL it goes to the site i commanded.
I had the idea of a circular menu, and when the user clicks on a menu item, that one rotates to the top, and becomes highlighted (hopefully with easing). I've searched around here for reversing timelines, etc. but can only find ones that go to the next set frame.How do I get it to skip past the menu items in between? For example if #1 is at the top and I click on #4, I want it to skip past #2 and #3.
I have a scrollPane on my stage, and I have a movieClip inside of it with a bunch of buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, I need it to gotoAndPlay a frame label on the main timeline. So far I cannot get this to work.
I want a button which is on an externally loaded swf to tell a movieclip on my main swf to gotoand play a specific frame. Is this possible and how would I do it?
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.
ive made a simple game for a uni project, when you get game over a movieclip comes up and inside the movie clip there is a button to restart the game. how to i code the button inside the movieclip to gotoAndPlay to frame 1 on the main timeline?
I want to link a button in my main timeline to a label- frame in a movie clip. The movie clip is called "Adetail" and the label is "on01"... I type in the following script
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
In this bit of code is there anyway to adjust the gotoAndPlay Command to play from frame 114 to frame 200. Are there any commands that will do this. I want it to play from frame 114 to frame 200 when a button is pressed.
I am making a website with a flash menu. I want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame (frame A) when the cursor is on a button. When you roll the cursor off of the button I want it to gotoAndPlay a different frame (frame B). That part was easy enough. But here is the problem. If you click on the button I want it to continue playing frame A even when you roll off.
I currently have 3 major sections in my Flash file, and need to be able to play the frames backwards, within each segment, if the user so chooses to click the back button.Let's say it's on Frame 250 (or any other spot on the respective timeline for each section) and the user clicks the back button, I want to be able to "gotoAnyPlay" Frame 225 to Frame 220.So, jump from current Frame 250, start playing on Frame 225, play to 220, and then stop.
does anyone knows any way to code xml preloader? i need the XML preloader in the same frame.....not in two frmaes or with out using gotoAndPlay(); to next frame...
I have a main navigation bar on my main stage that is constant through out. I have converted the bar to a movie clip. How do i then tell the movie clip to look at the main stage, not inside the mc, when a button/mouse event is clicked. This is what i have.
stop(); name_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, enterMovie); function enterMovie(myEvent:MouseEvent):void{
I am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.
The following is a scenario, but not script: Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20: When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21. When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22. I am currently doing this in a different way.
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So... When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20. When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.
Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?
I'm trying to play a frame label that is on the main timeline by clicking on a button inside of a movieclip.Here is the error I'm getting. I most definitely have a page1 label on the frame.[code]
My main timeline ends at 1018 with a stop() and the movieclip "shipattack_mc" plays out its 1000 or so frames. I am testing some things towards the end of the shipattack and want a button to skip to the end.
I have a main timline with MCs in it. when the MC gets to the last frame, there's an onEnterFrame event telling the main timline to go back to frame 129 (labled "b1") and play.
I got the MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1"); part added to my function to call the root. however, when I test the movie, it does everything correct except play. it goes to b1 and stops. here's my as3:
code: this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,goBack); function goBack(e:Event):void { MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1"); }
why it won't play? I've tried using just the frame number and that won't help either. there's nothing else on the main timeline to stop the movie...
I`m a AS2 user, having a few problems getting adjusted to AS 3. What I want to do: In my stage I have 3 movieclips:
- Intro (frame 1) - Main (2) - End (3)
In the movieclip Intro i show some pictures etc, when it comes to the end, i want to go to the 2nd frame on the MAIN timeline. This used to be _root.gotoAndPlay("main"); using the hierarchy allways starting from _root or _level0. or _parent... I have tried searching but am not sure how to lookup this problem. I would be really happy if someone could post me a link how to address movieclips through other movieclips or starting from the root in AS3 and for the right code to use the function gotoAndPlay to go 1 frame further in the main timeline.
I have a series of sections in the timeline and I'd like to use gotoandplay. How do I begin playback of another section of the timeline. Is there a way to detect the end of gotoandplay? For example: 3 objects and 6 frames. Each object has a animate in frame and an opposite animate out frame. At each frame the user can pick any of the three objects but if an object is already animated in then is must first play it's 2nd animate out frame. I need to detect the end of an animate out sequence to begin the first frame of the selected object.
How do I use the gotoAndPlay to direct the the main timeline to goto frame 2, and not frame 2 of _root.circle MC? with _parent? I know this might be a simple question, but my brain hurts from the previous 'debugging'.[code]
what im doing is showing different photo sets on the same timeline for my site. so i thought i would have each photoset on a frame and each frame has the stop function on it to keep it from playing them all. so i have a button saying "set 1" and when you click that its supposed to play frame 5. code on the button:
on (release) { gotoAndPlay(7); } (set one is on frame 7) but this doesnt work i dont get it. whats wrong? is there a better way to do this?
hen you click on a button within my swf it loads an external swf into an MC that sits on top of the 1st swf, which continues to play underneath.Within swf2 I have lots of pages that you can navigate to, which works fine on its own, but not when I try to play it through swf1.When I click on any of the navigation buttons they don't work.I've tried making an MC within swf2, putting all the pages in there and on the navigation buttons doing:
I have a ten-frame Flash doc. Seven of these frames have movie clips. What I want to do is be able to have a user navigate to another frame in the main timeline by clicking a button at the end of each movieclip.
I'm using this code:
on(release){ gotoAndPlay("Scene 1",6); }
[Code]....
And I"m not getting errors but it's not working when I launch the movie.
