ActionScript 2.0 :: Load 1 Swf Per Frame: Move Down TL As Each Swf Finishes Playing?
Jan 22, 2008
I have about 30 very simple external swfs--each contain an image with tweened fades and rollover-to-pause/rollout-to-resume actions. They're loaded onto the main timeline one after another as a slideshow. It's an auto-play and loop: each image swf loads the next one on to the empty movie clip after it is done playing. (i.e., swf1's last frame loads swf2, and so on.)
This set up was fine until I realized that I should have a place-marker--something that indicates where you are in the slideshow. No other functions (go to next/previous) for the marker. I just need to show graphically that you're seeing the 5th of 30 images. The graphic is 30 dark dots that get filled in as you progress.
To do this, I figured it would be easiest if I designate 1 frame per image (=one swf) on the main timeline. So, frame 1 will load 1.swf and when 1.swf finishes, frame 2 will load 2.swf. This will make it easy for me to color in the appropriate dots according to where we are in the slideshow.
What I think I need to figure out is to "pause" at each of the frames on the main timeline until the loaded swf is done playing. They're all different in length--some are 50 frames and some are 90 frames long.
I almost had it figured out from massive googling, but I honestly don't understand it well enough to tweak what I've found to do what I want it to do.
Also, if there is a way that I can easily make the "place marker" work without changing the way it is currently set up (1 frame in main time line; 30 swfs that load one another), that would be even more awesome!
I'm trying to create a small flash website for a Uni project (I'm a music student but they want me to be able to make websites, go figure?) and I am having trouble getting a video to stop playing when i goto another frame. Im using the FLV player from Window>Componants and i have named it PubPlayer. I've tried setting its source to Null, Using .stop() and even setting its volume to 0 but everytime i goto another frame it keeps playing.Im gettingTypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at AlbumsEps_fla::MainTimeline/GoAlbum()My code is as followsQuote:
stop(); PubPlayer.source = "Machines.f4v"; function GoHome(event:MouseEvent):void {
I've got a movieclip (slider_mc) -- it's two 800x150 rectangles spaced 450 pxls apart on y. (Stage is 800x600).I load in the sounds, then when each sound is finished playing it launches a function that plays the next sound, this works fine. I'd like slider_mc to move on y when each sound finishes. The first tween works like it should, but nothing happens when playSound_02 is launched -- the sound plays but the tween doesn't work.Here's my code:
I'm trying to make the UP arrow key disabled until a sound has finished playing. Is this possible?This is because other keys also play sounds and I don't want the sounds overlapping each other. Thus I'd also be trying to disable those keys as well whilst a sound is playing.
I've created an movieclip button that onRelease: moves to the highest depth and expands to the entire page and onRelease again: contracts to a thumbnail and moves to a lower depth.'ve got the animation working. However, I'd like the movieclip to finish playing the contracting to a thumbnail animation to the end before moving to a lower depth. Here's a concatenated version of the code://Variable that I set to know when the button was clicked first to expand.
I suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.
What I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.
The subject title pretty much tells it all. I've got a flash project where a video component plays an external flv file. I've got a different flv file loaded at each keyframe. Right now the flv plays and then it stops and waits for you to click on the next video you want to watch. I want it to automatically go to the next keyframe and start the next video.
I just followed the Preloader AS3 tut, and it works! Unlike the other sites
I have Flash CS4 AS3, and when the preloader is finished, it takes me to the end of my movie.
I'm a total beginner at this, since I've only been using Flash for about two days now , but I learn extremely fast !
In very simple terms, please explain how I can start the movie from the beginning when the preloader is done.
Also I had problems locating the URL to the swf. I kept getting "can't locate URL" when I inserted "bones.swf" for the URL request. I had to paste my files into the folder created in the tutorial for it to work. What is the difference between the folder I created and the one created in the tutorial that allowed AS to recognize the URL?
Here's my script:
var l:Loader = new Loader(); l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop); l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done); l.load(new URLRequest("bones.swf"));

I'd like to know if there's a wait to have flash hold on a frame till a sound finishes playing. I'm guessing that this will require some sort of EventListener but I'm pretty new to AS 3.0 and I'm not sure how to do it. I've searched the forms but cant seem to find anything on how to achieve this either, but I think thats because I'm not sure of the correct terminology.
I am trying to make a webinar in flash, I have frames and in those frames I need to insert audio and when the audio finishes it goes to the next frame automatically. but I also have a menu bar and when I click on a button to take me to a frame i get a whole load of audio going on. I just need it to go to that frame and play the audio Just want to be able to have it play though, when the audio finishes it goes to the next frame or if i click a button on the menu it takes me to the frame i need,
I have 1 flash file in which has an animation playing. Once you press the play button I made it clears the animation and loads a .swf (we'll call it 2.swf).[code]The 2.swf has a .flv inside of it which is loaded from our server (not embedded).I'd like once the .flv stops playing for a button I named replay_btn to show up and be able to load the .flv one more time.I tried load commands but am probably doing it wrong.
I have a shell swf that is loading a swf. How do you have the loaded swf tell the parent loader to unload itself after the loaded swf finishes playing?
I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?
I have four movie clips (.f4v) in 4 frames in a movie with watch buttons.. This movie has them been imported into a main movie container that has next and previous buttons. However if i play a movie then hit next frame, the movie continues to play in the background. The code below shows one of the actionscripts for a movie clip and then the main actionscript in the main movie.[code]...
I'm still struggling with going from a loaded swf to the next frame in my timeline, where a new swf file will be loaded.Ths is my current code which is trying to move onto the next frame in my timeline is located at the end Frame of a 10 second animation:
I have 5 frames in which a different song will be playing, this is the code i used on each frame:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();mySound.load(new URLRequest("frameone.mp3"));mySound.play();
If im on frame 1 and click on the navigation button to see frame 2, both songs on these frames play simultaniously. how can i stop the background song on frame 1, and have frame 2 playing?
New to this and using Flash CS4/AS3 to build simple website...and everything works fine apart from the swf movie keeps playing when I move to another page.
I am using MC buttons to go to labels on a timeline in a MC. On the time line 'videos' I dragged on UIloader to play a swf of a video. My problem is that when I go to another page (along the timeline), 'home' or 'contact' etc, the swf is still playing from the 'Videos' section. You can't see it of course but can hear the sound. If I click back to 'Video' the swf starts to play again over the first play. I have stop action on timeline above each different section, but this just stops all the pages from cycling.
below is the code i'm using for the buttons.
function btn1Over(event:MouseEvent):void { btn1.gotoAndPlay("over"); } function btn1Out(event:MouseEvent):void {
I am having a movie clip playing on a loop on the ON frame of a button , and something else on the OVER frame, and everytime i move my mouse to the button it resets the movie clips thats playing. heres my file: [URL]
