ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Control MovieClip Movement With Button
Sep 24, 2008
I am new to AS but trying to control my MC to move up and down. It's working but I want it to stop at a point so it doesn't go to high and stop at a point where it doesn't go too low.
I got this so far
moveUp.onPress = function() {
gtr_MC.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= 1; };};
moveUp.onRelease = function() {
delete gtr_MC.onEnterFrame;
[Code] .....
I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.
Is there a way to control a movieclip playback with a slider button? Just like a video player but scripted to control an internal movieclip playback in the SWF.
I'm used to AS1/2 and AS3 is STILL throwing me all over the place, a developer I am not.What code would I need for a simple rollover function on a button to skip a movieclip between two frames?[code]
I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.
I have a stop on my main timeline. At the stop I have a movieclip play. In the movieclip I will have a video play. After the video plays I have a button for the user to continue play until the end of the movieclip. Once the movieclip is done I want to resume back to a specific frame in my main timeline.
First off, I have a movie clip called mc_instructions. Inside the movie clip, about 940 frames into it, a button appears called btn_ready. I need this button to bring me to frame 3 on the main timeline when clicked on.
I am trying to do a simple thing in theory. In my main timeline I have a series of images with frame labels for each. In a movieclip (with its own labels) below the images, I have two panels of butttons that flop back and forth (to save space). The idea is to simply have the maintime play the frame specified by the corresponding button in the movieclip. [code]...
I created a Movie Clip with a button inside it. The Movie Clip contains simple animation within its timeline. I dragged the Movie Clip to the main stage and tested the movie/ My goal is to have the button start the animation inside the Movie Clips timeline but it is not working.The Movie Clip instance is named 'film_mc' and the button inside it is named 'first_btn.' The frame is labeled 'one'. I tried these two Action Scripts that I put on the main timeline. Where am I going wrong?
I am trying to load a movieclip and have it be controlled by a play and a pause button. The load works good and the code for the play/pause works.
I need the "test2" file to load the "ball_mc" file and then I should be able to play and pause the ball as it runs across the screen. I think I need it to be a swf file also, but Flashkit won't let me upload that type of file.
i'm wondering how i can script a scroller bar to smoothly control the _y position of a movieclip on the flash stage, so when the user clicks and drags the scroll button up and down the scroller bar the movieclip scrolls to the relevant position alongside it. i have the button and the movieclip seperated, but both on the same parental level on the timeline.i'm currently using motion tweens (controlled by clicking the up and down buttons of the scroll bar) to animate the movieclip's and the scroller button's_y positions and i'm scripting the fla file in AS2.
I've created a movieclip with buttons inside that I want to use to navigate to different scenes on the main timeline. I have created a function() that loads the button movieclip into the main timeline, but if I try to write a function() to activate the button and move the main timeline to a different scene/frame label it doesn't work. I have tried various things:
I put the code above on the main timeline. It doesn't seem to work. Basically, I could put just an on(release) handler on the buttons, but I wanted to try to keeping all the AS in one place if I can.

I've been struggling with a horizontal scroll bar controlling vertical content movement. Can anyone help me? I'm using AS2 in CS3 and I have tried the search function....in vail..
I am trying to control movement of an object in one frame based on timing. I have the movement working correctly. What I need assistance on is determining when it should move.I tried using timer() mod 1000 but am having no luck.What is a way that I can implement this portion?
I'm trying to work out how to take a mc with a jpg image sequence in it and then control the playback by using the left and right mouse movement. I've searched the web and various flash forums for quite sometime but cannot find any info on how this is achieved. Perhaps I'm searching for the wrong terms? An example of what I want to do can be found here (flash animation at top of page). Click and drag on the computer or 360 button to spin it around. I want to do this but with one of my own 3d models that I've rendered out as an image sequence(jpgs).
I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------ var keyListener:Object = new Object(); keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
I've attached a demo fla so you can see what I'm trying to do. Basically the big circle is a spaceship that will move to wherever you click. The small circle is a resource that the ship can collect, in this case it's called iron. When you click on the iron the ship moves to it and then the small circle disappears, and +1 is added to your inventory, creating the illusion that the ship has collected it. Problem is, after you collect the iron, you can't really move the ship anymore. It's stuck around the position where the iron was. How do I regain control of the ship after I collect the iron?
I have a graphic of a computer with a mouse that is a movieclip and I am wondering if it is possible to be able to move the movie click about by clicking and dragging on it but I want to restrict the mouse to a certain space so it doesn't float off the table.
I have a background image that moves left and right, continuously giving a 360 Degrees appearance. My control buttons work fine but what I want to do is ease in to the movement. Here is a LINK to my demo. When you roll over the arrows is simply starts and stops. I'd like to ease the starts and stops
Right Arrow Code: on (rollOver) { _root.theclip2.gotoAndPlay(_root.theclip2._currentframe); } on (rollOut) { _root.theclip2.stop(); [Code] .....
I have a big movieclip in a movieclip (bigger then the stage) when i roll over different movieclips the big movieclip moves, right now it just keeps moving when i keep the mouse on the movieclip/ I would like the movieclip to stop moving when its edge is about to leave the screen. I have no idea how i should do this, and all the tutorials i've found explain how to keep and object in the stage (this one is a lot bigger then the stage)
Can anyone tell me how could I be able to move a movieClip in opposite direction of the _xmouse?That means when I move the mouse pointer to right side, my movieClip would move some distance to the left side. And when I move the mouse to the left ,the movieClip should also move to right.I have done something in the attached file but i dont want to continue the movieClip's movement when the mouse movement stops.
I know how to do motion guides, but now I also want to control this movieclip with actionscript code, so that I modify the x and y properties, but STILL restrict the position of the movieclip only to that motion guide. I see that once I modify the x or y properties, the movieclip jumps off the motion guide
Originally, the client wanted to control "hero_mc" using the keyboard but now they would like to control him with buttons only. Here is the original code on the "hero_mc" which works as expected:
I am working on a game project and i have a question about movie clip movement using keyboard event. Basically I have a character on screen and it can move on the x axis using the left and right buttons. I am making my character move by changing the x value of the character movieclip but I find very it laggy and not smooth and if I am going point by point then it's too slow. Whats the best way to make the character move so that the transition will be smooth.
