If I click a button - 1 movie clip will play X number of frames, and then after it completes, a 2nd movie clip will play X number of frames.
It is important that I can do this in one script in the button.
Otherwise the easy way to do it would be add a command at the end of the 1st movie clip. Which I don't want to do because I am trying to create a conditional event things.

View 3 Replieshow to sequence movie clips to play in a certain order. I want to play one movie clip that is animated using actions and then once that clip is finished, play the next one (naturally, to create some sort of design.)If I have two MC's that have separate scripts on them - how would I go about playing the first movie clip and once that animation is finished playing the next one?I've tried placing a 2ndmovieclipname.stop () style script at the end of the first movie clip.I am currently using Flash MX 2004.
PS - I do not have my clips animated with frames, so I don't believe the option to gotoAndPlay (frame x) is available to me.
I've created two movie clips in Flash CS3, and I am now trying to understand how to get them to play in sequence on the main timeline.
I am noticing that when I change the Action Script in one movie clip, the Action Script in the other movie clip changes as well.
AS3 code that will allow me to play a series of 4 "slides" (movie clips) that are contained within a single container-movie clip?[code]...
now, at the end of that movie clip, I want to initialize slide2_mc... and after that, slide3_mc & then slide4_mc. After that, it should loop back to slide1_mc.
I'm using As3.i have 6 movie clips with transitionmanager [code]What code should use to start them in sequence?i mean mc1 appear, after 1 second mc2 appear, after 1 second mc3 appear and so on.Without using caurina or stuff like that..if possible simple as3 code.i searched but i found only timer function but works only for one mc!if possible can you write here working code?
View 2 Repliesit seems the only way to export with actionscript animation intact is to export as a Quicktime file, I decided to try something and it worked. I made the frames-per-second go from 30 down to 1. It took a looong time to export at 1fps but once it did, I loaded it into Premiere and adjusted the Speed/Duration, putting the speed at 3000 (30*100) and it looks very smooth. Not the neatest way to do things but it works, so I'm happyI guess the proper terminology for what I am looking for is to export as a PNG sequence with actionscript animation.In Flash CS5 after attempting to export to a Quicktime .mov file and it turning out extremely choppy no matter what (I tried things from here and here) until somewhere I found someone saying they always export as an image sequence.I could export as an image sequence so there would be no choppiness, then just import it into a video editing software.
That was until I noticed that the vcam I am using wasn't working in the finished product. The movie clips wouldn't animate, it would just be stuck on the first frame. Masks were also not working correctly (although this may not be an issue if I just lock the layers before exporting, not sure). So basically, I can't export in Quicktime - which does export with vcam, masks, and motion clips - because it's too slow and choppy, and I can't export as an image sequence (even though it wouldn't be choppy) because it doesn't export with all the things mentioned.So what do I do now? How can I export this with movie clips, vcam, etc. without it being slow and choppy!? Can I get vcam, movie clips, and masks to export in an image sequence?
I need to set up a Flash swf that enables me to drag and drop a series of shapes from point A to their individual point Bs. However, I need to ensure that this can only be done in a particular sequence. i.e. shape 1 must be moved first, then shape 2, etc. If the wrong shape is moved out of sequence, it snaps back to the starting position until the user moves the correct one.I have the following actionscript on a button within the movie clip which drags :
on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
[code]....
I need some way for the dragging and placing of each shape to only occur if the shape before it in the sequence has already been placed correctly.
i'm trying to play several movie clips, one after the other from one main movie clip.i've got 8 movie clips, "m1.swf", "m2.swf", etc. "m8.swf", and one main movie clip, "play.swf".i've tried using loadMovie, but it only plays the last movie clip. this is what i've got. in the main movie clip, i've put a play button, and the actionscript i have in the button is:
on(release)
{
this.loadMovie("m1.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m1.swf");[code]....
is this wrong? how can i get this to work correctly.
I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.

View 3 RepliesBasically, my main time line has a few layers and just a few frames. On each frame there is a different movie clip. Buttons are on a seperate layer on the main timeline, each button initiating a gotoAndStop for each frame, linked via frame labels which are on yet another layer.
Now, here's my problem. I'm happy with each movie clip looping endlessly, all except for the second last one.
What I want to do is, make it so that when this said Movie clip finishes playing it automatically (i.e no mouse events) gotoAndStops on the proceeding movieclip.
I want to have 5 movie clips play one after they other. So in frame 1 of the main timeline I have movie clip 1 and a stop action. I'm imagining there is an action I can put in the final frame of mc 1 (and all of the rest) so that it will then go to the next frame of the main timeline where it will start the timeline up again and stop and play the next mc.
View 1 RepliesI am building a flash header for my website. I want to have two parts. The first part is about a 10 second intro. The second part though will be a looping slideshow (It's photography site). Basically two different movie clips.Can someone give me a little help getting started? I think I can use AS (3.0) to loop the second movie but I need a way to recognize the end of a movie.
View 4 RepliesI have 8 movie clips on my stage. Each contains a motion guided tween. I want the tween to play through, and then the next movie clip to start playing until it has cycled through all 8. Then it starts over at the first movie clip again.I have achieved this using mouse events.. but I need it to play with no input from the player/audience at all.
I tried having a boolean variable on the main stage, and inside each movie clip change the value of the boolean once it reached the end of the motion guide, but that threw errors at me. It also threw errors at me when i tried to play a function from the main stage inside a movie clip. Is there no way to have a movie clip change something or call something from the main stage?
I would use event listeners for tween motion finishes, but because I need my symbols to move in an arc, i need to use a motion guide and not a simple tween. Unless there is a way to play motion guides via actionscript?
CODE
Main Stage/Timeline
import flash.events.MouseEvent; clicky.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickygo); var tweenArray = new Array (tween1, tween2, tween3, tween4, tween5, tween6, tween7, tween8); var i:int = 0; function clickygo(e:MouseEvent):void { if (i < tweenArray.length) { tweenArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); i++; } else { i = 0; tweenArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); i++;

I have a movie clip, lets call this Container. This contains another 4 movie clips, BubbleRed, BubbleGreen, BubblePurple and BubbleGold. Each of these 4 movie clips have an animated time line. When a Container is rolled over it is added to an array. I have a function which does things to the Containers on the array. However I have been trying to get the movie clips in the container to play.

I have two movie clips embedded on my timeline each with a button that on release plays the clip. I want them to play independently so that when i click on the first video it just plays that video and not both. The same for the second video for it to just play the second video.
View 5 RepliesI've set a list of movies symbols playing at different time line individually and put them all together in 1 frame on the main timeline. However, i'm thinking of playing those symbols 1 at a time without changing the main timeline. Each of those symbols has the stop(); on them. However, it doesn't seem to work as i thought it would be. Is there anyway i could create a button, and while clicking on the button itself, it plays the 1st symbol and stop before playing the next symbol ? Sorry, i haven't put up any codes yet.

View 2 RepliesI'm using cue points to trigger animated movie clips over the top of an .flv video file.
Problem is, by the time the cue point triggers the _mc, the movieclip has finished it's animation and shows the end frame of the animation only.
I need the movie clip to only start to play from start to end once it's triggered by the cue point.

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to have an instance of a movie clip symbol which has its own timeline "play" when you scrub the main timeline?You can do this with graphic symbols, but so far I've had no luck doing this with movie clips.See, I have a movie clip -- several actually -- with their own timelines which I want to place in the main timeline.When I scrub the main timeline I'd like to see them scrub as well, instead of simply seeing the first frame of the movie clip.I basically have to work blind like this.
What I'm trying to do is basically have several "slides" which are animated and then have a stop();. They'll sit there for a second and then the entire animation, or slide (movie clip) will move off the stage. I can't do this now. When I scrub the main timeline I can't tell what's happening in the movie clip. I can't tell when I can slide it off the stage.I tried to get around this by using graphic symbols with their own timeline, but adding a stop(); doesn't work in them.
I'm struggling with AS3 trying to play a series of movie clips, one after the other, like a slideshow. There are no button controls, just several layers, each with a movie clip in the first frame. I want to go down the list and play one after the other and then eventually end on the last clip without looping back to the first.
View 15 RepliesSo I used flash for some relatively extensive movies back in the MX days, but haven't done much with it since. I'm trying to build a relatively simple movie now in the newest version of the software, but I'm having some trouble.I want to create various smaller movie clips with animations in them, then drop them into the main timeline and have them animate automatically when the playhead hits them. However, when I view the movie (or test it) all I get is the first frame, they don't animate.Did I set up the document wrong or something, or is this something basic I missed in the newer versions? Is there a better way to structure this?

I have a project in which I have a dozen movie clips on the screen each of which are started by a separate button. Each of the movie clips has a sound in its first frame.When I test the swf file all of the sounds from the first frame of each movie clip play simultaneously for about a quarter of a second. I'm not sure why because all the movies are stopped upon initialization. I've tried SoundMixer.stopAll() and I've tried setting volume to zero with SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0) for each movie but nothing seems to stop the movie clips from producing that initial, short burst of sound.
