I have several FLV files that play via the FLV playback component dragged onto the stage. The user presses a button and the appropriate FLV plays.
After it plays I what to move to another frame so the FLV is no longer on the stage and makes way for the next one the user selects.
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 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.

i want a mc to move onto frame 2 when an imported mp3 starts playing. i've found :
[Code]...
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:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I have loaded a video wit this code
var video:Video = new Video(1440, 900);
addChild(video);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();[code].........
I need to perform a "gotoAndPlay" to go to another frame or scene after the video finishes playing.
I'm working on this project here: [URL]
You can see that when you click on the top left menu item, I play a new flv that transitions to a white screen.
How would I go about detecting when that flv has finished playing and then hide it?
video1 is the video in question.
import fl.video.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
[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.

Weird problem going on right now. And I seriously don't know what this is about.
On my main timeline (new document)
I create a text. I convert that text to an image. I drag that image on my main timeline at frame 1.
Then I set opacity to 0%. Create a keyframe at frame 50. Then I Tween it. And at frame 50, I set opactity back to 100%.
When I test the movie (ctrl enter) it just doesnt show the tween AT ALL. It goes straight to the last frame.
When I just go to frame 1, and press enter. It does work like it's supposed to.
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.

View 2 RepliesHow to jump to a frame (gotoAndPlay) on the ROOT (or any frame anywhere) right after a movie clip is done playing. This is AS3 on Flash CS4.

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"));

View 1 RepliesI'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.

View 16 RepliesI am trying to run a JSFL script from within a C# project, where the JSFL script opens up a .fla file, modifies it n times, and exports n .swf files before closing. From the C# project, I am starting up the JSFL script through the Process class. I try to wait for the JSFL process to finish through the myProcess.WaitForExit() command, but it doesn't work. The remainder of my code C# executes before the JSFL process finishes exporting its .swf files. Is there any way I can throw something that the C# project can catch from the JSFL file or some other solution?
View 2 RepliesI am having some problems with buffering sounds. I am doing a MP3 player for my site and everything seems ok except that I can't get the full length of a sound before it finishes downloading/buffering and it's messing my progressBar. That's my code:
position = (soundChannel.position / sound.length);
Sound.length returns the total length of the downloaded data at the moment and not the full length of my Mp3 file.
Let's say I have 1 minute long Mp3 file and I only downloaded 30secs of it, if my playback reaches 15secs of the sound, it will say that I am at 50% of the song and not 25%. Is there anyway to know the full length of a file before it finishes downloading? So I can make a buffer download progress bar (like youTube does, so you know how much u have downloaded) and a songProgressBar. I've read some things about the NetStream class but I don't know if it will solve my problem. I don't have Flash media server.. it would load the file form the local file system.
