I need to tell a external movie (.swf file) to start play when I click on a button. I have made a site in dreamweaver where the topframe is in flash and the middleframe in html and the bottomframe in flash. I have 2 buttons on the topframe and I want when I click on one of them the
bottom flash file starts to play.

View 1 RepliesYet another dilemma with my external SWFs. How do I get the external SWF to only begin playing once the preloader ahs finished loading the complete file. Currently when the SWF file comes it has already started playing part way through the file.
View 2 RepliesSo I made a few buttons with sounds within them and when I publish it they work just fine. But what I want them to do is;
Say I click a Button.The sound starts playing.Then I click it again, before the sounds done playing.I want it to stop the playing sound and start playing the button I just clicked on, whether it be the same button, or a different one.Right now it just ends up sounds like an echo because it'll play it as many times as you click it.
The problem I have is I click the play button and start playing. Then I click next and when I click play for another song the songs overlap. How can I stop whatever song is playing and start playing the new one? Has to stop the prev song when I click play_brn.

How do I make a flash website begin on a frame other than number 1? I hope there's a way to do this.
View 3 RepliesI'm building an application that's basically a frame in that another SWF file is displayed. My application loads SWF files generated by a server and displays them. As memory consumption increases over time, it it necessary that I unload the current SWF from time to time and replace it with a new SWF. I use SWFLoader to load the remote SWF file. I create a new SWFLoader object for each new SWF and remove the old SWFLoader as soon as the new SWF can be displayed. Now my problem: SWFLoader sporadically does not start playing the loaded SWF. All of the SWF files that I load start with the same set of instructions. When all goes well, the SWFLoader gets some ProgressEvents and then an Event.INIT. After that the SWF starts playing. In some cases, however, I only get the progress events, but the INIT is never fired. In that case the SWF doesn't start playing. The number of bytes received reported by the progress event is the same as in the case when it goes right.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get my flv file to start playing when the page is loaded with no sound, but I am have no luck. The flv file starts playing fine with the sound on, and I can turn the sound off with my volume controller, but I need it to start playing with no sound.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI DO NOT KNOW FLASH - let's just get that straight. I do not know actionscript, and I'm not familiar ith the interface. But I do know how to open a document, drag a .flv into the frame, add a playback skin, and save a swf for use on a web page.
The problem is that the videos all start playing on default. I'd like the user to have to hit the "play" button to play the video so that they are not inundated with sound when the page loads.
I am a flash newbie, how can I get the flash to start playing before it is finished loading on a website? I embedded a FLV file into a flash and I'm going to export it as a SWF, I want it to start playing the movie before it's done loading so people don't think that it's not working.
View 2 RepliesWhat i need is a code that forexample is placed on the first frame of my movie. Also i have there a stop(); code.

View 1 RepliesI have a drawing effect animation (around 200 frames) which is in a movieclip within a movieclip (_level2?). When I run this swf I want the movieclip to start playing even if it is not fully downloaded, like it would if the animation frames were in the main timeline. How can I do this? At the moment it waits for the whole movieclip to download before it plays. I want it to start and play as it downloads.

I have recently updated to Flash CS4 and AS3 from Flash 8 - apart from one issue I have with the Sound Object. There seems to be a delay in the loaded MP3 playing when told to. This means that I am unable to add SFX to the game I am developing for a client, because the sound plays about 1-2 seconds after it is told to play. How to tee the Sound up, so that it plays immediately?
The process I am using is this:
Class defined to load all game assets defined in XML
All Sounds are loaded into their own Sound Object and a reference to each is held in an array and passed to the relevant Class (i.e. Player). The relevant Class tells the reference to the Sound to play - it plays, but 2 seconds after the collision detection Event has told the sound to play.
On this site, the rotating flash banner at the top works fine in IE and Chrome, but when opened in Firefox, it doesn't load the picture or advance automatically. If you click on one of the other buttons to advance to another item, it works fine, but on page load, it will not work.

I'm building a quite large flash movie with hundreds of movieclips (with their own preloaders) with approx 150 frames in the _root timeline. But I've until now never been very confident with preloaders, and that is causing me hairloss.
Once the user enter the site, I want a preloader to come up, but I want to use actionscript to start playing frame 2 once frame 2 content is loaded, not start playing frame 2 once the WHOLE movie is loaded.
I use the below code for simple preloading with no feedback of progress, however it loads the whole movie before it start playback of frame 2:
if (_framesloaded>=_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Is there a way to make a if statement that only loads like 20% then it plays. I always used things that wait for the whole movie to be loaded. I just want to give a head start of 20% to the movie.

I am new to this site and I have to say its amazing, just what I was looking for. I have figured how this MP3player works: [URL] BUT my problem is, I cant get it to start playing as soon as the movie loads. Instead of clicking the trak I want it to play then clicking the 'play' button before it starts playing, I want it to start playing the first track as soon as the movie loads.
View 9 RepliesThe preloader I usually use executes an addChild(loadedMovie)statement in response to an Event.COMPLETE event from the loaded swf's contentLoaderInfo object (a common approach, I believe.) The problem with this (as many of us know) is that the loaded swf starts running before the Event.COMPLETE event gets thrown, which means that once the child is added, it is already a few frames into its timeline. What I need is a way for the loaded swf not to start playing til its COMPLETE event gets thrown.
View 5 RepliesI am putting together a small slideshow of pictures and it's only about 350 frames. I haven't worked with Flash since version 4.0, so I'm still trying to figure out Adobe's setup. 4.0's setup was so easy when it came to replaying a video once it hit the last keyframe, but I'm so lost in this ActionScript stuff.
How do I get the video to loop back and start playing again automatically?
I have a large SWF flash file being loaded by a parent SWF and I would like to start playing the film being loaded, let's say, when it is 50% completed. According to my expected user's bandwidth and the size of my film I will calculate the best moment to do that (the film could be 20%, 30% or 50% loaded). I want to leave users waiting the minimum and I don't need to wait until my flash is 100%.
Ok, that said, here is the problem. I am in ActionScript 3. I have one film loading another and I want to anticipate the loaded film start. I have an onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent) function (with listener launched by ProgressEvent.PROGRESS) and I have a regular onLoadComplete(e:Event) function (with listener launched by Event.COMPLETE). I could check for 20% completed during my regular onProgressHandler. But then, when I have identified this point has been reached, how can I anticipate the launching of the film? I mean, my Event.COMPLETE handler passes the e:Event and I can use e.target to get the loaded object into my film. But what happens if I want to start that process before it is complete? I cannot pass this e:Event because the COMPLETE handler hasn't been launched yet...
One important thing to say. The film that is loading is almost empty. It is very light. The heavy film is the one being loaded and I want to attach that film being loaded to a movie clip in my film before it has completed loading.
I have 2 flash banners (using ActionScript 2) on my web page, how can I make them start playing at the same time, after the page has fully loaded? Both .SWF files are embedded in HTML using the script provided by Adobe on object export. I created both in Flash CS4, but I have very little knowledge of flash. I read about "LocalConnection", but I have no idea how to implement it in flash.
