I am using CS3 actionscript 2. I am having trouble with the preloader. It works, but it is causing the stop commands throughout the rest of the movie to not work. I know it is the preloader because when I remove it, it works. It is just a basic preloader. index12.fla has it with the preloader and index13.fla doesn't.[URL]...
View 3 RepliesI checked out a lot of sites but can't figure out how to do this. without the mask my animation of a button growing bigger works well, the stop command is respected. But i want an image inside the form of the button that grows larger, so i took a picture on a layer below it, and made the button into a mask. visually, it works fine, but it loops, since the layer in mask mode doesn't respect the stop ();
View 1 RepliesI want it so that when you click a button, it will run a multiplayer game and connect to a server, WITHOUT having any .bat or .exe files beforehand. So any new guy can rock up and connect, just as long as he has the game.
If you run Jedi Academy multiplayer like this:
jamp +set fs_game "japlus" +connect "193.155.0.5:29070"
It will run the game and connect to a certain server. The problem is, how do I get Flash to do that without any premade .exes with command lines?
The only other problem I can think of is, is it possible to run the game without knowing the directory the exe is in? In other words, could Flash find the game .exe if it was just given a name?
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches.

I have been coding my flash movie/website and everything was working fine until I added a preloader on frame one, moved frame "home" over one frame to frame2. PaulJamesWilliams is the name of the file that I am editing. what do I do?
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am a flash amateur. I have a movie clip in frame 1. The movie clip is a series of images that is similar to Apple's wait mouse cursor. I have written the following script hoping it will act as a preloader.
Code:
var total:Number = stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
do {
var loaded:Number = stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
} while (loaded<total);
gotoAndPlay(3);
But, I get this error in the output window. Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds. All I can see is the preloader, but frame 3 is never loaded.
I have a movie that loads swfs into a loader within and MC on the main file/stage. The code within the movie clip housing the loader is (NOTE: I worked up an simplified fruits/veggies example to work out issues, I am not a fruit/veggie expert or anything):
[Code]....
That repeats every time either button is clicked after that. NOTE: I tested this after removing the preloader code(and moving the frames around to remove the blank first frame) in the external swfs and it worked fine jumping back and forth between them. I have already plugged away at this solving a series of issues to get to this point and I have the feeling this is a pretty simple fix, but I am not sure whether I should be looking in the external swf file itself or in the loader code in the main file to solve it.
Is there a bug in the as3 tween class that causes tweens to stop before completing. I read that there is and that a 3rd party tween class should be used. I'm just starting out learning as3 and experimenting but this would be good to know when I move onto more complex projects. Also the solution for this was to make your function global. Does this simply mean place your function in the top level of your movie.
View 5 RepliesI have some simple code:
function testing(){
for (a=1; a<=4; a++) {
this["btn"+a].enabled = true;
}
}
If i run this function from anywhere it works fine. If i run this function from myTimer = setInteval(testing, 3000); it will not work. If i add other random code into the function it (the newly added code only) will work. So i have narrowed it down to something about this["btn"+a].enabled = true; specifically that is causing it to not run.I really hope this makes sense, appologies, it's 3am :

i tried the tutorial that teaches you how to create a preloader....i followed the instructions and it still doesnt work! what's wrg?[code]on my first frame actions....i put the "gotoAndPlay (36)" cause i tried a previous preloader that took more than 1 frame and didnt want to change my button's "goTo" frames...but i figured it wont change anything..anyways, i put that line of code as my first frame action....by double clicking the timeline..then i create a symbol for that frame 1 and created an animation.
View 1 RepliesI have a project where i have 5 buttons (all on seperate layers) that i want to link to frame 2, frame 3 frame 4, frame 5 and frame 6.So for example i want my about button to link to frame 2 and latest news button to link to frame 3.The seperate pages are housed on the 'page layer' layer.I am using the built in code snippets in cs5 to do this, therefore i am using the 'click go to frame and play' command and changing the frame number accordingly.My problem arises when i use the stop command on the first frame. If i dont use the command the swf cycles through the 6 frames continously, but when i do use the stop command the buttons do not work as the application has stopped.
View 7 RepliesI am an absolute beginner and downloaded this file from a great member here. I tried to use the stop(); command but it keeps going in a loop.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a handle on the setTimeout command and I can't seem to get it to function at all. As a test I set up a simple movie where two objects fade in, one after the other. But whatever I try, they both fade in together.

_global.setTimeout()
stop();
onLoad = function(){
box1_mc._alpha = 0;
box2_mc._alpha = 0;

I cannot get the clearInterval command to work. I have a panel that is tweening down into the stage about 4 seconds after the movie loads and then I do not want it to happen again. Right now the panel continues to tween in everytime I close it. Right now, the clearInterval is not working.
var down:Boolean;
var currentInterval:Number;
down=false;

I have several buttons in my Flash file that direct to an external URL with the openUrl command. That always works. However, in some cases I used _self to open the new URL in the same tab, and in other I used _blank to open it in a new tab, but that doesn't work consistently. Sometimes the one labeled _blank opens the URL in the same tab, and vice versa. Is there another way to define whether I want the new URL to open in a new tab or not?
View 2 RepliesI've inserted a flv video ( from Import to stage) on the 1st fotogram( my homepage), and then I've extended it for 24 fotograms( because I set at the beginning 1 second = 25fps).If I play the video (with the play button of the "flash prebuilt player") without stop it and I'll surf toward another page the sound still playing, how can I fix? I mean I'm in the homepage, I start the video with the play button on the "flash prebuilt player" and if I don't stop the video and I surf towards another page the video disappear but the audio is still playing on the background. Which command ? I've try with stopAllSound(); on the fotogram 25 but it doesn't work and the audio is still playing.

View 4 RepliesI do slide presentations on iPad via Flex IOS packager 4.6. The slides are swf's that have to be dynamically loaded at runtime because they change daily. Can't compile them in.
My slides load fine with animations and look great - but the animations on each slide loop. I can't stop them. When I decompile slide swf's I see the stop() commands there on each one. IOS just blows by these stop()'s though (PC doesn't). Interesting that the swf's load at all on IOS. I'd have thought the stop()'s would have prevented that. They do load though. IOS just doesn't honor the stop()'s. Animations play beautifully. Can I stop them some other way? Maybe externally from my main Flex code? Is there a way to stop a Flash animation without stop()? Maybe build the animation differently? Another product I've seen has solved this issue so I know a solution exists. When they play animations on IOS they stop.
I have a photographer's portfolio site in the works. I'm using loadMovie connected to thumbail buttons of each photo to show a larger version of the photo. Here is the script[code]...
Now the photographer would also like to have a next/previous arrow buttons so the user can click through like a slide show. Is there a way to have Flash know what movie is currently loaded and based on that information go to the next or previous?
I have been given a rather long and complicated Flash movie which contains a number of bugs. The one that has me most perplexed is as to why the pause button is failing to stop the root timeline.[code]As you can see, the button also controls various mps "voiceovers", which stop and start correctly, yet the timeline animations continue to play.I have looked through the movie and there doesn't appear to be any Play function overwriting the buttons Stop command.
View 3 RepliesI have some bombs like this :
var sjunkBomb:Array = new Array;
for (var i:int = 0; i < sjunkBombMaxAntal; i++) {
var bomb = new sjunkbomb;[code]....
Each movieclip sjunkBomb contains an animated movieclip. When the bombs reach the bottom I want to stop the inside animation.I guess it's better to stop them so they affect the rest of the game if there are a lot of bombs. I know how to hide them with sjunkBomb[x] .visible = false; but if I want to stop them? sjunkBomb[x].stop(); doesn't work!?
How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?
Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.
popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
[code]....
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).
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.
