ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects Carried Between Frames By GotoAndStop()?
Jan 15, 2010
I am creating a point and click game.In the bottom corners of the screen there are two arrows for changing the area. When these arrows are clicked, the only thing that is supposed to happen is a frame change. For some reason, objects are being carried from the frame they are supposed to be on to the frame that is changed to and they stack up each time the frame changes. I don't even see how this is possible without writing code specifically for it. Here is the code in one of the objects being transferred:
Code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
var DepthCorrection = 0;[code]...
Nothing in that could possibly make it move to a different frame and it has no instance name so nothing can reference it to bring it to one.Here is the code for changing frames:
Code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
var Frame = _global.Area + 1;[code]...
I've had problems with gotoAndStop() before where it went to the wrong frame and only displayed certain objects on that frame.

Im using this script on various movieclips in a game
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xplace = Math.round(_x);
if (xplace<10) {
[code]....
I use this so when characters move around movieclip it detects where it is and put the appropriate clip on top (so a character can move infront and behind objects). Theres a problem. The script works GREAT and does what its supposed to do. The problem is that every movie clip i put it on carries over to the next frame when the timeline is furthered. It doesn't help that its a clean frame (or even several frames ahead) the movieclips are still duplicated to the new frame and so on.

I have a very specific AS2 parent/child movie clip issue, I have a main Character movie clip which contains as nested frames each profile of the Character (front,back,left,etc). Within each of these child profile MC frames, animations for those profiles are further nested in frames.
[Code]...
The problem is that when I try to Character.gotoAndStop('Front'); after key release, flash thinks, you're already on the Front frame (because the walk animation is a child of that MC and is already playing).Therefore the walk animation just keeps playing after the key has been released.Is there an easy, one-off way to fix this?

I'm using gotoAndStop(); for my buttons within flash using the following method:
myButtonInstance.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("frame5");
}
however, I've come accross a problem where in for some reason the application will sometimes move frames when I don't want it to. For example, given the code above it would sometimes go to frame 5, but then instantly move somewhere else from there despite the code saying only to do so when a button is pressed.

I was curious to how gotoAndStop really functioned, so I ran a few tests. Results are highlighted for easy skim reading.On each frame, I placed a trace statement, saying which frame is currently displaying.Then, I messed around putting different kinds of code on frame 1.
Example #1
Code:
stop();
gotoAndStop(5);

Within each of these child profile MC frames, animations for those profiles are further nested in frames. Then, essentially I have movement code as part of the key listener:
Code:
switch(Key.getCode()){
case 87:
Character._y -= 10;
Character.gotoAndStop('Back');
Character.gotoAndStop('walk');
break;
[Code] .....
And later code to reset to the character's resting frame after key release:
Code:
switch(Character._currentFrame){
case 5:
Character.gotoAndStop('Back');
break;
[Code] .....
The problem is that when I try to Character.gotoAndStop('Front'); after key release, flash thinks, you're already on the Front frame (because the walk animation is a child of that MC and is already playing). Therefore the walk animation just keeps playing after the key has been released.

I'm trying to target labeled frames using a simple gotoAndStop command but for some bizzare reason the code doesn't recognise labels only frames.

I've recently had a problem in my application's flow. I was sending an event from one of the frames of a movieclip and the issue was that it was being sent over and over and over when I wanted it to be sent only once. I assumed that placing a call to stop(); at the last frame of the clip would prevent it from looping. This was not the case however. After that I tried calling gotoAndStop(0); to reset the movieclip and stop it from looping. This did not work either. Then I went through my code to make sure nothing else was causing it to play.
I solved the problem by adding an extra frame to the end of the clip and calling gotoAndStop to that frame instead of 0. I've looked around the forums and google for information on this phenomenon but have only found cryptic answers. I was wondering if someone could explain the divine purpose that drives MovieClips to play regardless of whether they are told to stop or not when they get to frame 0 or 1.

I'm trying to achieve is this: when you roll over one of the citymarks on my map, it drops up/down depending on the mark and where it is with three buttons for tourist sites in the area. Well, I'm using timeline animation and gotoAndStop() to go forward and backward nice and smoothly. I've got a mask applied for the menu, and that works fine, but when I compile I get this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@10ac6b01 to flash.display.SimpleButton.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()

how can I make a movie go to a next frame when an action has been completed? I would like to make an actionscript tween like below, and when the tween has been completed, I want the movie to go to a next frame
stop();
textTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(tekstMC, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 136.9, 600,1, true)
something like:"when action above has been carried out, gotoAndPlay(5);";

I have a movie clip on the stage and have given it the instance name "team1". inside this movie clip there are two states. at frame1 it says one thing, then at frame 10 has an image. team1 stops at frame 1 and what i want to do is when the main time line reaches say frame 50, i want the team1 movie clip to gotoAndStop at frame 10, thus showing the image and not the text. i tried doing it by putting this on the main timeline at frame 50: team1.gotoAndStop("team");

I have an event listener for a mouse click in one frame, then I go to another frame.There are no action so mouse clicking should not do anything, yet for some reason clicking the mouse does the same actions that the previous frame had.How can I stop the actions from being carried over to the new frame?
old frame:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.*;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, lakemiddle)
[code]...
then in frame 16:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
I want mouse clicking to do nothing on frame 16.

+ I have a code in frame#1; + I have an object in frame #2 (but this object doesn't exist in frame #1);
Comment: In AS2 I could use something like:
Code:
gotoAndStop(2);
// code for object
gotoAndStop(1);
It doesn't work any more in AS3.
How I can access object in frame #2 from frame#1? Any other way except using custom classes?

I have a MovieClip symbol created with flash in a fla file library. There is a textfield in frame one of this movieclip's timeline . There is another frame in the movieclip timeline. There is a custon class definition for this symbol. It is a flipping card in a memory game.
I access the textfield by going to frame 2 (gotoAndStop(2)) and setting the textfield's text property ( this.field.text = "hello" ). However if I go to frame 1 and then return to frame 2, the text becomes the original one in the library's symbol. I have to modify the text propery again in a showFace method I've written.
Besides, I cannot pass parameters in the constructor because it is a symbol in the library and that would give errors.Is there a way I can set properties inside frames permanently?

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie

there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

I have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?

Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

How to set gotoAndStop on 10 frame of my main stage ?

I have a mc that I use as a stop/play button for music. One the main stage there are 3 of these buttons for 3 different songs. One frame one of each MC there is a triangle for play with this code:
stop();
btn_play.onRelease = function (){
stopAllSounds();
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Then on frame 2 there is a square for stop with this code:
stop();
btn_stop.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop(1);
stopAllSounds();
}
It works fine as far as stopping and playing. The stopAllSounds is to prevent the music from overlapping in case the user didn't press stop before playing a different song.If the user presses play to hear a song then wants to hear another song so he decides to click play on a different song without first clicking the stop button there a problem.The problem is that he is still stopped on frame 2 of the first song therefor the square is still visible. In this case in order to hear the first song again he would have to double click.
Is there any way, from the main timeline, I can tell it onRelease of a specific button within a specific buttion to make a different mc to got frame 1?

I've got a strange thing in attached fla: my gotoAndStop command won't go past a photo?First I've got the 'background' layer. On it is a red rectangle on frame 1 and 2. Frame 3 changes it into a jpg.
On the actions layer I've got a gotoAndStop(4), which should show the photo and trace a command. But it won't get past the red square? It's like the jpg photo blocks the gotoandStop(or Play for that matter) command. It doesn't trace to prove that the gotoAndStop command is executed on frame 4 and it keeps showing the red square on frame 1 and 2. Where it should show the photo which has already been placed on frame 3. when I replace the photo with a normal Flash shape (rectangle e.g.) it works fine.

Well basically I've got this one frame in my animation. It's got three buttons and an input text box. One of the buttons goes with the text box, but I want the enter key to do the same thing (gotoAndStop) as the button. Unfortunately I've not a clue how.

But I have ran into another snag. This is what I currently have: A MovieClip for the quiz. 10 more MovieClips one for each question. 2 buttons inside question (btnCheck and btnNext). 4 radio buttons to select then click btnCheck to check the answer. Then click btn Next to move to the next question. The functions inside the movie clips are setting the variables outside the question clips perfectly. What I want to do is to eliminate the btnCheck and have it check the answer when the radio button group is selected.

I cant seem to get gotoAndStop to work on an externally loaded swf. My external SWF has five keyframes on the main timeline. I am able to load it in fine, but as soon as I create a function to move to a different keyframe it wont work. I have tried everything, but nothing is working. Here is my attached code.
