ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader To Play MovieClips Frames?
Feb 28, 2003
I've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?

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

I made a flash website that has several different "pages". I just found out after creating it that a QR code will be used to navigate to the about page. The only way I can see doing it is by having the QR code navigate to [url].......On that html page, is there a way for me to use actionscript 3.0 to tell movieclips to go to certain frames? My .swf only using internal scripting.

I have a bunch of movieclips in my library. Each one contains it's own class and functions etc.I put each of these movieclips on diffrent frames in my timeline.My question was, if I am going to put these movieclips, on 2 or 3 frames on my timeline what will be the impact on speed of application (in mobile afcourse).For example MovieClip2 will be put on frames 2,3 and 6.It has 300 lines of code. Is the impact noticable ?

I have a main fla with loaded swfs. I would like that I can access a movie clip
in a swf from from another swf.
I would like a button on one frame, when clicked, to go to another frame of a movie clip in a loaded swf on a different frame.

i have a gallery on my root timeline. The gallery is called work_mc. Inside of work_mc I have various buttons. There is a different section on different frames.For example,ALL is on frame one, PRINT is on frame two, motion is on frame three.In the root here is the
Code:
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.buttonMode = true;
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
This is targeting the buttons that are on frame 1. How do I get to the buttons that are on frame 3? I tried just using the movieclip names but this doesnt seem to work?

I need to set movie clips at specific frames from an existing array. For example, if I have the array [4,7,3] and three movie clips, I want the first clip to be at frame 4, the second at frame 7, and the third at frame 3. Except I have 100 of these, not just three.
Here's the code I'm using to test it out on a single movie clip. It isn't throwing up any error messages, but it isn't working, either, and the movie clip remains stubbornly set on the first frame. 'Randomorderlist' is the array, which is working perfectly. The trace is also working correctly and displaying the number of the frame I want for the movie clip.
function assignframe():void {
boxsymbol(gotoAndStop(randomorderlist[0]));
trace(randomorderlist[0]);
}
assignframe();
I think I might know why it isn't working, but I'm not sure. 'boxsymbol' is the class name rather than the instance name. I first tried the instance name, but it came up with a 1180 error and stuffed up the whole SWF badly. This was the only way I could fix it. Also, Flash wouldn't let me use the same name for the class and the instance. It forced me to use classes, even though I don't really want to.

I have a CS5 FLA file with AS 3.0 with the following code for the preloader:
var pct_load:int = Math.round(framesLoaded/totalFrames*100);
if (pct_load == 100) {
play();
[Code]....
The preloader is in the first four frames -- it's just the background photo, a graphic logo, and the loading numeral text.
Everything runs great the first time it's loaded; then if you refresh the page, the graphics in the first four preloader frames flash on the screen before the movie plays.

my preloader starts at 55 percent. this is because the first frame (if i can trust the bandwidth-profiler) has a size of 32 kb. i think this is strange, because the b-profiler also tells me the film has a total size of 35 kb. after the first preloader frames are some small files with transitions only, and then there is the main frame, which has a size of 18 kb my preloaderframe only contains a small bar and a dynamic textfield, just like the tutorial says... i ve already searched the forums, i found that quite many people have the same problem, but i didnt find any solution... i do not load any swfs dynamically. the only thing i can imagine that could cause that problem is the embed font which i use for the dynamic textfield in the preloader. is that possible?

I added some movieclips from the library via the addChild method. The actionscript is in frame 1. I have a button which takes me too frame 2. When I click that it takes me to frame 2 but it also leaves every single MovieClip on the stage from frame 1. This is terrible annoying. As I want it to only display the movieclips on frame 2 not the movieclips from frame 1.
Code:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[Code].....
There is an actual frame 2 keyframe so don't think I didn't leave that out. Adding the line removeChild(playButton); just gives me a compiler error about calling.

I have layers of a level that the player can switch between.. and movieclips are all inside each other..full_level has 3 instances of full_platforms inside it.. On full_platforms' timeline there are 5 frames with all the platforms and objects for the level. the 3 instances of full_platforms in full_level are called foreground_mc, middleground_mc, and background_mc. CurrentFrame for foreground is set to middle.currentFrame-1, and background is set to +1. The player can switch which frame they are on to go to the foreground and background of the level.. Like a 2d slice of a 3d world basically..
Now, the bug.. in each platform there is a var called layer which is set to MovieClip(parent).name so I can tell if the platform is in the middle, foreground, or background. For some reason platforms on inactive frames are hittesting positive with the player and then tracing a null object reference after doing so. So basically.. platforms from old frames still exist for some reason.[code]...

I was programming games in AS2 in a way where movieclips could themselves remove, for example, when they collide with main character. If the objects where created in realtime with attachmovie then removeMovieClip, but if they where objects that where already existing because placed in the timeline, unloadmovie () was working. I know in AS3 I can delete them from the parent who created them but, most of my movieclips are thrown into a frame in the main clip editor. I mean, I use the timeline frames as level editor where I design my levels and I place the objects directly there and not create them by code. How can I remove them??

So I've got a little platform character and basically I want it so when he moves left or he moves right, he will both: A) Move left or right B) Play the running animation
Moving left and right is down with no problems. However its the running animation part I can't get.
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
gotoAndStop(14); //Idle stance frame
}
[Code]....
it's not going to work because it's going to keep playing frame 1 over and over again instead of playing it to frame 6.

I wish to build a preloader with some percentage animated movieclips alongside a percentage text.I post an example of where I am so far. I made two movieclips with things happening every 20 frames up to 100 frames. I wish to turn this into a percentage logic so that the actionscript makes my MC moves to the next 20 frames every 20%. See what I mean?

I have a fla that starts with a preloader that works properly. I then addChild a movie and it plays. I would like to have another movie load on a separate upper layer (so you can see the movie below it, like a background) with three different movies that can be advanced by a button. Here is my code so far. It loads the preloader up, then advances to drawing the graph. From here I've been adding a conditional checking to see if the movie is done playing -- playGraph.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,check done,false,0,true); was the tip I was given -- but if I use an if statement, it loops over and over
Here's the code. Hopefully it makes sense.
[Code]......
From the addChild I assume that I want to do 'if graph is done playing, start with the first part of the movie', but it gets caught in a loop if I trace 'done'.

Basically, I have my main set of menu buttons for navigating my site. For argument sake let's call them:
menu1, menu2, menu3, menu 4 etc. , where menu1 takes you to scene1, menu2 to scene2 etc.
Each scene morhphs into the next, so instead of simply having gotoAndStop("scene 1"), I would like the movie to play until it reaches the desired scene. I guess one way of thinking of it, is that it's a bit like coverflow in itunes.
That's stage one of the question - if I can at least get that far I'd be happy. But to add one level of complexity, I would love it to also play in reverse if you're going say from scene4 to scene1. Again, similar to cover flow.

i made a full site all based in flash and divided the pages in scenes
i need a button to do exact that. when u click the button it must play some frames and then go to other scene.
i can't tell to go to other scene in the last frame because there are a lot of scenes and buttons that have to do the same.
15 buttons - 15 scenes - play 30 frames and then change the button-scene!

I recently came across this script which I believe I have used before. However, I can seem to recall how to use it right as I can't get it to work. It is suppose to play the frames at random and not repeat any. Once that takes place I want it continue that cycle over and over. [code]...

I have a button that when clicked on, it enlarges and shows content inside the button. Now, there is more content inside this button that when clicked on, enlarges and shows more content. I have all that working fine.How can I create a "back" button that will play the same frames that I created my animation in, but play them in reverse to get the same animation but back. Is this the correct way of doing it, or do I need to create animated transitions for the reverse state as well.?
