View 3 RepliesI have various movies clip within a movie and my back (mc = arr2_mc) and next (mc = arr1_mc) buttons are on the main scene.This is on my main scene on a first frame
ActionScript Code:
movieclip.prototype.playBackwards = function(arg){
if(arguments.length>0) {[code]....
when it goes back, it goes back frame by frame without stopping but I want it to go only to previous Scene. instead of going to previous frame.Do i have to create a unique button? which i did but i didn't work?
its my way of going around scripting lol. the reason i would like to know is coz the same movie clip will be used several times, but once a button inside this movie clip is clicked, i would like the playhead (on the root timeline) to move two frames forward.
Also, if im correct (if not, please tell me) nextFrame() goes to the next frame and stops? it deosn't play on? is there an equivalent that moves to the next frame and plays on?
how to write a actionscript code for a button when the button is clicked it should move to the nextframe.
// About and smile1 button scripts
stop();
_root.smile1.onPress = function() {
if (mouse_over_smile1) {
[code]....
i have given 3 functions as onEnterFrame,onPress,onRelease. i tried all these but didnt get the result.smile1,smile2,smile3 are button instances which are declared on the monie clip.my main thing is i hav a button, when i click on that button it should go the next frame which i have declared in "gotoAndPlay(6)" method.
Just finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.
stop();
but1.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
[code]....
Where can I find step by step instructions for creating next frame and previous frame buttons with Flash CS4?
View 3 Repliesim a novice in AS3 it is possible to place 2 next frame button in a single AS3 code/frame this is my code

function gotoNextFrame(evt:Event){

}

Im trying to make a slide show with a next and previous button. I have name these two buttons next_button and previous_button.[code]
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to write code that so when you hit a "next" button, it tells a movie clip to move so far each time it is hit? Same as with the "prev" button moving the opposite way.

View 3 RepliesI'm making a small site in flash which contains some basic scripting, and I ran into a problem. I'm trying to make 2 buttons (<<< and >>>) to browse through a certain part of this site, and clicking the button would bring you to the previous/next frame in the timeline.My script in these frames is as follows:
stop();
achteruit.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndPlay(prevFrame);
[code].....
I have a gallery of 3-4 pages that I have added nextFrame and prevFrame navigation to successfully but now I'd like to add some simple transitions to make it look more slick- like a fade or a fly (this is for a website, if all I needed was the buttons I could have just made them links in Dreamweaver).[code]
View 0 RepliesSo I have a frame labeled 'init' and a button called _exit. I want _exit on click to keep going back until it reaches 'init'
I'm guessing something like this but it doesn't work:
[AS]_exit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , function(e:Event):void
{
if(currentFrame!='init'){
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame-1)
}
});

Currently I have a single movie clip and next/ previous buttons attached to this movie clip. The image changes every 9 frames. Currently I have the code set to change at every frame. How do I get it so it changes at every 9 frames????

Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?
View 1 RepliesI'm tryin to create a button that sort of "rewinds" but it doesn't have to show the rewind- all i want it to do is jump back to the previous frame with a stop action on it. So kind of like a "back" or "previous" button.It's been a while since I have programmed a lot and I forget everything
View 9 RepliesI am trying to create a function that does something depending on what frame label it was coming from.
I have a home, about and contact page.
I want the home and contact page to check if the previous frame label was "about"
something like this:
if(previous Frame.Label = "about"){
do something
}
I've a problem with this script:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;stop();
indietro.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vaiIndietro);avanti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vaiAvanti);
function vaiAvanti(event:MouseEvent):void {
nextFrame();}
function vaiIndietro(event:MouseEvent):void {
prevFrame();}
I just want to create a button to go to the next frame e one to go to the previous frame.
This script return me this error:
TypeError: Error #1009:
I'm trying to create a "back" button, but when the user clicks on this button I want the animations to go in reverse and then go to the frame that it is calling. so for example i have 5 notes, what happens first is that "note 1" is on the stage then you click on 'next' and then "note 2" slides in from the bottom and pushes "note 1" up and out of the frame and stops and shows 'back' and 'next' buttons. what i am trying to do is, if the user clicks on 'back' , I want the movie to rewind and have "note 1" slide back down. Or if they click on 'next' 2 will be pushed up and 3 is revealed the same way 2 came in.
View 5 RepliesI have an image sequence on my timeline in Flash.I also have two buttons: forwards-button and backwards-button.I would like the timeline to play constantly forward, when the mouse is held over the forwards button.And I would like the timeline to play constantly backwards when the mouse is held over the backwards button.My attempts so far have failed: I can get the button to work only for one step at a time (and then I need to bring the mouse on and off the button again for it to move to the next frame).I need to have the sequence play forwards/ backwards the whole time that the mouse is over the button.
View 6 RepliesI'm making an app in flash as3, but there is a bug in my code. (i guess)
-I can go from frame 1 --> frame 2
-I can go from frame 2 --> frame 3
If i try to go from, let's say frame 3 --> 2, I get this message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.Why cant I go to a previous frame on my timeline?
i know there is no function for it, but how could i do this?

Basically its a movement and hittest script for a maze. It works great but I need it running within an onEnterFrame in the frame code.
Currently the code is on a clip which contains the clip "walls". and player is on the _root timeline.

I want to use this code on a frame. Is it onLoad I need to use??
Is there a way to recall a variable from a previous frame? I have a variable that was mathematically calculated in frame 3, that variable was then used in a dynamic text field. The problem I am facing is that the text field then disappears in frame 4. The only solution I can think of is reposting the text field in frame 4 but I am having trouble recalling the variable from the previous frame.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash movie with 11 frames and 5 layers. Each of the frames has AS attached to it and all of them start with:
stop();
Now the frame labeled "play" has a button on it, that onRelease sends the movie to the next frame with: gotoAndStop("spin");
That frame further more send it to one of the other frames at random with another gotoAndStop(), which have a stop() and a sendAndLoad on them.
However once it's reached this point, if you roll your mouse over the movie, it flickers and shows flashes of the "play" frame (the one with the button on it).
I can't figure it out, none of the movie clips or buttons in the movie have any actionscript attached to them.
I've tried to delete four of the layers and only keeping the one with the action script on it (and keyframes on every frame). But still it does it.
This seems pretty basic but for some reason I absolutely can't get it to work. I have a set of buttons which I want to be able to send their parent movie to the next or previous frame. I want to use a NEXT and PREVIOUS button, both combined within a single movieclip, to tell a parent file to go to next and previous frame.
This doesn't work:
previous_btn.onRelease = function(){
this._parent.prevFrame;
} next_btn.onRelease = function(){
this._parent.nextFrame;

i have a couple buttons that i want to move the timeline to previous or next Frame Label. i have tried one way that didn't work and i see there is an array that i could use for Frame Labels but i don't know how to work with it to get what i want.here is the class that i made, it currently has the initial try which dind't work and just the basic array set up:[code]btw, the traced array returns (and in the final version, no frame labels will be right next to each other on frames):[code]
