ActionScript 2.0 :: Play And Rewind Movie Clip Button?
Oct 2, 2009
I made a vertical list of thumbnails and converted them into a movie clip. There is a total of 20 thumbnails. I masked the movie clips so that it only shows 5 thumbnails at a time. I created keyframes at every point in the clip that 5 thumbnails are shown so that I can pause it.I was trying to use this code to scroll down from the first set of 5 to the second:
on (release) {
design_thumbnails.gotoAndPlay (20)
}
When I click the button nothing happens I'd also like to know how to rewind the movie so that when I press the up arrow it goes up to the previous set of 5.

I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote:
ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code:
stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....

I would love to know how to make a movie clip rewind
//prev_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, everyFrame);
//
//function everyFrame(event:Event):void
//{
// [code].........
heres my code basically i want it so if i stay rolloed over it keeps reversing, in stead of having to roll off and on, obviously only does one frame at a time.

So i'm trying to rewind a movie clip using AS3. I've tried using an ENTER_FRAME event and, in the function, using gotoAndStop(mymovie.currentFrame - 1) to decrement the frame until it reaches #1, however it seems to play very slowly and choppy, not like when I just use play();

I would like to use the rewind command inside a movie clip, with buttons or movie clips inside on the timeline with motion tween. this is reasonably straight forward.
But when i test the movie the buttons are not selectable as it is covered by the movieclip they are in.
How can i get these buttons to work within the movie clip. here is the code that goes on the first line of the actions layer. ( can be found in the kirupa tutorials).
[Code]...
This would look really good if i could make the buttons clickable/live and just linked to a url.

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.

On looking into buttons, I understand that to get a movie clip to play when a button is clicked you simply place the movie clip on the buttons 'hit' state. Having done this it does not work? Have I read wrong? Also the movie clip has a background the full size of the stage area. So when I attach this to the button, the button changes size to the same size as the movie? (i.e. whole stage area). How do I keep the button in it's original size while still playing the movie clip with large background?

I have a simulation of a 3d rotation in a movie clip and what I want to do is on button press:
1) check to see if the movie clip is on a certain frame and if it is do nothing
2) if it is less than the 16th frame reverse the movie clip and play until it gets to a certain frame
3 if it is more than the 16th frame play until it gets to a certain frame

I have been using flash for a while, but AS3 is a whole new world to me.
I simply want to have a movie (box1) to play when a button (btn1) is clicked.
NOTE: The button is within a movie clip (bulb1) which is within another movie clip (trees).
I tried this, but it just kept replaying the whole animation:
Code:
btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick( event:MouseEvent):void
{
box1.play();
}

I have a very simple fla i built, all i need is the hover "over" stage to play this tween. On the keyframe I made it a symbol, movie clip. In there all the tweens are set exactly. It seems if you wanted motion on a stage,you would just put that clip on the over stage. I uploaded the fla file: [URL]

Bit new to this and have been searching the adobe forums and google. I am trying to create a button that will play an imported MovieClip.I have a movie clip that I've imported into it's own layer (Layer1) Frame 1 I've given the MovieClip an instance name offoundationMovie.I've created a button and have that on its own layer(Layer2) above layer1, it is also in Frame 1.I've added a top (); action to layer2The video is not set to autoplay.I want the video to start playing when the viewer clicks the button. I know I've got to put some kind of event listener using AS3 in my timeline somewhere.I've found some code and I've been trying to work with it. I'm sure I've mutilated it beyond usability but this is what I've got.
stop ();
player.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play);
function play(event:MouseEvent)

I have a button on the stage called 'play_btn' and a movieclip called 'movie_mc'. The movieclip has a stop on it's first fame so that it doesn't play on the main timeline. I want to use actionscript to have the movieclip play when the button is clicked.I know i need to do some kind of movie_mc.gotoAndPlay('2') on the button or something like that.

I am using flash. I have a layer containing my movie clip animation. Another layer contains my 2 buttons and a 3rd layer contains my action script. Here is what I have managed to do- I got the stop and play buttons to work so when the movie plays I can click play and then click stop and the animation will stop and play as I ask. I added a stop(); command at the beginning of my script so that when the movie loads nothing plays until I click play. The problem is I would like to click play and allow the movie to continually play over and over even when it finishes. However I would like to keep the movie with my stop(); command so when it loads nothing plays until I ask it to.
what I can do so that when I click play my animated movie clip continues to loop again and again.
HTML Code:
stop();
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle);
function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{

I've made the outline of a site in AS3, on one of the pages it has an area that shows some text and images. If you click on the right arrow, the current info flys off to the left and the new info comes on from the right. This is done by just having a movie clip with a load of stops and code that says "absorbentInfo.play();" so it plays forward to the next bit of info.What I would like is a way to make it play backwards to the previous stop, so that it could cycle indefinitely either way.Code for the next button below.with the previous button.
Code: Select allnextButtonAbsorbent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, nextButtonAbsorbentOver);
nextButtonAbsorbent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, nextButtonAbsorbentOut);

I was wondering what the best way is to play a movie clip while dragging a button inside a separate movie clip. Example: I'm creating a children's book in Flash form. Some childrens' books have movement using a pull tab on the side of the page. I have created two things for one of these pages:
A) The pull tab movie clip consisting of a button inside of it. Its code is as follows:
on (press) {
startDrag(toggleDrag2,false,596.5,118.0,666.5,118. 0);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
This way (and it works), the pull tab cannot be dragged along the y axis, and its movement along the x axis is restricted.
B) A movie clip with a symbol in it that has a motion tween, 75 frames, a stop action and key frame on each of the 75 frames.

I have a movie clip that runs in its own timeline. I want to stop the movie clip from playing whenever the mouse is clicked (in this application I am actually using a touch screen and I want the movie clip to stop playing whenever the screen is touched). In addition, I want the movie to rewind back to frame one so that none of the movie clip images are left on the screen.

I want to play a movie clip when I click a button.I made 3 states: inicial (how it looks before anything happens) (up)hover (plays an animation after waiting 20 frames) (over)click (plays an animation right away) (down)I placed these movie clips inside of my button's up, over, and down frames. This works great except when I click, i'll need to click and hold for my animation to get past the first frame.

I have a button, labeled "Main1," in a scene, "Main." When I click said button, I want an animation to start. Said animation is a movie clip named "ArrowAnim."Now, I have done something similar before in another project, using a code which I thought would have worked with this movie clip as well. The code I used before (and which worked flawlessly) was:
Code:

is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out.so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.
