I have a mc, "Transition", on my main stage. It does an animation. At the end of the animation I would like it to gotoAndPlay("music"). The problem is that "music" is on on my main stage. Is there any way possible to jump from a frame of a movie clip to a specific frame on the main stage?
View 4 RepliesI have a movieclip in my main scene. Inside the movieclip, there's a button. I wanted to so if I click on the button, it takes me out of the movieclip's timeline and play on the main scene's timeline. I tried gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1), but it just take my back to the first frame of the movieclip, not first frame of the main scene (scene 1)

View 1 RepliesI am trying to jump from one scene called main to other named tutorial 1-6 here is my code to jump to tutorial 2 as an example

i dont know if it makes a difference but the navigation buttons are on a movie clip which pops up over the main stage...if that makes sense, that flash file is huge i didnt want to attach the whole thing...
so i have a main timeline and a nested one. the main timeline has a button named "how_btn" that plays the nested mc (named "how"). once i get into playing "how", i have a button named "menu" that i want to bring the user back to the main timeline (where the "how" button is). this is how i scripted:
how_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("how");
}
menu_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("nav");
}
the how button script works, however the menu button does not. is this b/c it's in a nested mc? i tried specifying the root, but that didn't do it either.
I have my entire site layout in Flash CS4 and using AS3. I was able to successfully segment the site with labels, add UI Loaders to desired sections to make the site smaller and work faster, I was able to put a close button above the UI Loader, which closes it and brings a user back to a designated section of the site.
And then I encountered a problem. I have a few images in each UI Loader which I would like to function as buttons and also bring the user to the desired section on the main site, however it seems to be a problem that the buttons are located inside the UI Loader I can not figure out how to jump out of the loader to the main site.
Is there a specific code for it or the whole layout has to be somehow restructured?

View 3 RepliesThe .swf I am having trouble with is embedded on the front of my home page [URL]. I am trying to make it so when the back button is pressed it causes the four buttons to move 200px left and when the forward button is hit right 200px. Here is the code for the back button, forward is identical minus the - sign...
back.buttonMode = true;// creates the hand cursor
back.addEventListener("click", onClick3);
function onClick3 (obj:Object){
back.buttonMode = false;// creates the hand cursor

I have a tween set up in actionscript... something like this
Code:
function tween(){
var tweenPart1:Tween = new Tween(_root.tweenMe), "_x", Strong.easeOut, 100, 50, 3, true);
}
That isn't the problem... it actually works very well.
But I also have another peice of script.
Code:
_root.tweenMe.onEnterFrame = function (){
this.onRollOver = function(){
this._x = 50
}}
This just counter-acts the tween to make the symbol jump to the centre of the stage and then stop. but that is the problem... the symbol wont stop. it jumps to 50 for about 0.1 sec then continues with the tween.
PS tweenPart1.stop(); doesn't work for some reason
I am brand new to scripting in Flash, and was hoping I could get some help on a question. I have an animation that is 300 frames long. The first 100 frames are an animated 'ad' (for lack of a better term), the second 100 frames are a different ad, and the third 100 frames are the last ad. This can be viewed straight from beginning to end (and is intended to loop if no action is taken), but I would also like to add some functionality to the animation, so that people can jump forward to the next ad, or back to the previous ad (hitting back from the first ad would take them to the third ad, and vice versa.)
[Code]...
This does not turn up any errors when I test the movie, but the functionality does not work. Am I anywhere near a working script, or am I attempting this in a completely wrong way?
I'm working on a web menu, that has sub menus. I'm currently trying to get the sub menu to jump back to the main menu if the mouse is no longer inside the submenu zone.
It works if I move the mouse quickly to another part of the Flash area, but if I quickly move it out of the Flash area and onto say the html document, it doesn't update fast enough, and thus still thinks the mouse is hovering over it.
I know I can simply update the movie frame rate which does work, but I was wondering if there is any way to get Flash to check to see if the mouse IS ACTUALLY ACTIVE over it, and if not close the submenu?
I'm googling this as I speak, but I have a movie clip called intro_mc that plays in frame 1. My introduction(it's a web portal project that will be published to a server at college) is on frame 2. Can anyone help with the AS code that will take me from the played movie clip on 1 to the main page on 2? The movie clip stops at the end.
View 5 RepliesI have a very simple .fla. One frame, one button on the main stage. I have named the button and when I right click>actions, it says I can't put actions in this area. So then I put the Actions on the main timeline/keyframe. The code below works, but I can't get code to work in the button that I placed on the main stage. This button is dynamically placed by the first two lines of code.
Code:
var MyButton:ButtonOne = new ButtonOne();
MyButton.x = 100;
MyButton.y = 300;
addChild(MyButton);
MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startMC);
function startMC(event:MouseEvent){
myMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
If I try to just have the code that looks something like this..
Code:
ButtonOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMC);
//movie clip function startMC sits here..
I get an error saying the symbol doesn't exist.

I'm new to AS3, and am having issues loading external swf files so that they appear on top of entities on the main stage.

Im trying to get the X, Y of a Movie clip (well call it "target_mc").its inside of a parent MC (well call it...."parent_mc")but im trying to get the X,Y as they relate to the main stage(_root).so far the two methods ive used are
Code:
this._x = _root["parent_mc"]._x + _root["parent_mc"]["target_mc"]._x
this._y = _root["parent_mc"]._y + _root["parent_mc"]["target_mc"]._y[code]....
neither worked
it seemed like the first method(the one in the code block) places it at the starting position of the MC i need the location of, but to further complicate it the parent_mc is a rotating clip(Ive got code to make it follow the mouse).how i can place this in a location that is changing whenever the mouse moves
