ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadMovie - Skip To Next Chapter Within Level?
Feb 10, 2004
I have a main swf movie that loads other swfs into into level 1. The first is "intro.swf", next is "01.swf", "02.swf" and so forth... At the end of "introl.swf" the last frame says: [AS]loadMovieNum("01.swf", 1);[/AS] ... and it just goes through the rest of the loadable movies throughout playback... no problem. In my main swf, I have playback controls... I want to be able to control the swfs in a next chapter and previous chapter manner, so that I can skip to the next chapter at the press of a button....
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root._level1 == "intro.swf")
loadMovieNum("01.swf", 1);
else if (_root._level1 == "01.swf")
loadMovieNum("02.swf", 1);
[Code] .....
I am trying to basically skip to the next chapter within that level1 there.....
i have game im doing, and i want it to jump to level 2 upon completing the first level, but the problem is, the level 2 is a seperate swf, i've tried to use
got a file that contains scripting that creates and animates a carousel effect in a faux 3d space - it all works great on a mac and some pc's but on a lot of pc's it doesn't play nicely! i have added some script to carousel script so if the carousel item is clicked it rotates that item to the front and then loads the specified swf into level 1
pc's don't seem to recognise the alignment of the loaded swf and brings it in half cropped off the screen - appearing in the top left of the stage area.how do i tell the loaded swf to centre in the middle of the stage just like the rest of the elements in the movie? how to make the target mc sit at the highest level/depth - in other words above the carousel? this is my onclick script:
Code: function released() { output.text = this.txt_label.text + " has been selected";[code].........
I am preparing a FLA presentation that uses an external SWF as a navigation drop-down menu: [URL]The drop down is hidden but can be made visible by putting the mouse in the upper left corner. From there you should see a list of items. I used the behavior function to load this into an empty movie clip, but I want the menu to be over the text on the slides. I am creating this using "Flash Presentation" mode, with nested screens, et. so I am not sure if that is the problem. The menu screen AS is on the top "master" layer and reads as follows:
on (rollOver) { //load Movie Behavior if(this.loader_mc == Number(this.loader_mc)){ loadMovieNum("navtop.swf",this.loader_mc);
[code]...
I tried establishing a level, but with no success.
Im using loadMovie within a .swf on level 1 to load an external movie into level 2. But when this happens the sound function doesnt work. The 2nd movie being loaded has the newsound defined and everything within itself. It plays if i run that swf seperately or using ctrl+enter. Yet when the 1st movie calls the 2nd movie onto level 1 at runtime.The sound in the 2nd movie doesnt play. But its button sounds all seem to be working.
I have made a flash player that get the movie from a seperate server. There are also some slideshows that depending on time in the movie chances so the pictures are relevant with what you are watching., this pictures chanses with the from a xml file. I would now also like a Combobox that works as a chapter selecter. I have "made" the combobox and the text that i have in the xml shows up however now i cant get the combobox to work
Though I find that chapter interesting and that I might have a legitimate use for it, it is a bit skimpy with details. I need to COPY MOTION TWEEN AS ACTIONSCRIPT on three different tweens (three different layers), but the tweens need to be perfectly synchronized.
I'm using the flvplayback component for my video player. i have additional buttons that seek to navigation cue points embedded in the video. all of it works, but i would also like to highlight the button of the current section of the video.i tried adding an event cue point just after the navigation cue points that triggered a movie clip to switch frames based on which event cue point it passes and that works as it should, but the problem is when a user clicks in the seek bar they can potentially skip the event cue point of that section, thus not triggering the movie clip to go to the appropriate frame. possible to put an event listener on the seek bar and then find the previous cue point?
In the past I have used PPro CS4 and Encore to create a DVD of clips which I show to clients. Each clip has a chapter mark so that I can jump quickly to the start of each clip. I now want to make a big Flash file of all the clips, with chapter marks which I can quickly jump to. But when I create the file from PPro, I get all the clips in one nice big file, but with no chapter marks. If I create it from Encore, it cuts the file into lots of little Flash files, the cutting points being the chapter marks. How can I create one big Flash file consisting of all the little clips, but with chapter marks which I can jump to?
I wanted to create an application installer (per chapter) like the one implemented on the product on this site:[url]...i have no problem creating flash apps but i'm so lost on making installers , like update installers for the same app.. the idea is that on first installation of my app, other contents are not available until the user downloads it from my site and install it on their pc. and that installer will just update the existing one with the new downloaded content.
I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1); mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.
I have a file1.swf which loads file2.swf into it. Within file2.swf i have a button that when clicked needs to remove file2.swf and load file3.swf into its place.
I have a movie that's 500x400 px in level 0 and has lots of thumbnails with pictures that I want to open. the thumbnails open a 500x400 px movie above the other but on level 1. the problem is that when the new movie loads on level 1, the thumbnails on level 0 (that are now hidden by the new movie) are still active, and if i click anywere in the movie on level 1, it trigger an action from level 0. Is it possible to load a movie to level 1 that deactivates the movie in level 0 without unloading it?
I have (4) buttons with a play action that all play the same series of frames labeled:"1out"(19 frames long), when they get to the (19th) frame the action at that frame tells it to goto frame label "begin". I want only one of those buttions to have a different action when it gets to frame 19, instead of going to frame label"begin" I want it to goto frame label "2in" I thought I set up the code right for the single button, and frame 19 but it wont work,
Im making a title menu and i know how to skip from one from to another, but I want to skip from one scene to another. I have actionscript on the title menu frame to stop, but what should i put on the button to make it go to another frame?
I have an tree component that is populated via XML. There are branch nodes and child nodes for each branch. This is a user interface for an elearning course. The branch nodes/folders in the tree component are for course sections and the child/leaf nodes for each are the content topics. each have a url attribute with a path to the appropriate content swf. The branch nodes/folders in the tree component do nothing when they are clicked on, as intended.
I also have previous/next buttons. They basically just navigate between leaf nodes. However, if the currently playing topic/leaf node is the first underneath a branch/folder, and I click on the 'previous' button, nothing happens. How can I set this thing to 'skip over' branch nodes? Here is the relevant code (the tree change listener, and the previous/next button event handlers:
Code: var treeClickListener:Object = new Object(); treeClickListener.change = function() { var item = menu_ctr.selectedItem;
lets say when a button is released, it will play from frame 1 to 10 then it will skip the 11th frame then go to the 12th frame btw, the 11th frame has a stop action script on it
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 having trouble with skipping back to frame 1 after having skipped forward to frame 2 using buttons. The button which is suppose to skip back won't work and the errormessage I get after previewing is:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at page3/frame1()
Here's the code:
stop(); galBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction); function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
I've created a preloader.swf that (when loaded) loads an external swf. I would also like to add a skip intro btn, but when I do, the preloader seems to loop over and over (blinking - I know, high tech). This is the preloader code. I have it in the first frame of the preloader.swf:
