i dont want to include first 2 frames when this runs..and also is there any way by which we can avoid repeatation of the framescoz when this runs couple of time same frame gets Repeated:Following is a code:
var randomFrame;
var numFrames;
numFrames = _totalframes;

how many of you use scenes to get your projects done. I've been switching to a different scene for every new angle (I'm making a flash movie, drawing somewhat 3D perspective, and storyboarding it out like a movie.) I find it makes it easier to organize the timeline, and not take up as many frames per timeline. Are there any downfalls to this method? Because I'm early on in the production, and if there's going to be any problems down the road I'd like to know before I get too involved.
View 1 RepliesIn my movie I have a movie clip that I want to circulate between a random selection of 12 frames automatically. Basically I want the movie clip to load like this.
[code]...
I don't mean exactly this order, I just want it to cycle randomly through the 12 frames. How should I go about doing this?
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]...
View 4 Repliescreated a (what I thought was simple) gallery.I have all the large images on a timeline layer were each image fades in over the course of half a second then stops. I created navigation buttons, next and previous on each frame that are supposed to navigate to the next image. The action script for the nav buttons is different depending on which image (frames) you are on. However, when I publish the swf the next and previous buttons don't go to the frames I prescribe for them in Actionscript, but just go to random frames in the timeline. Also, I have a series of thumbnails that have actionscript that navigates to pictures/frames when clicked so I don't know if they are interacting badly. Does anyone have any idea whats going on?Here's an example of the AS for the previous and next buttons (instance names prev_btn and next_btn):
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navback1);
function navback1 (event)
{
[code].....
So i have a website, made in AS2. its very simple- the only AS on the whole site is a few stop commands. and some
" on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this.gotoAndPlay("1100");
//End Behavior
}"
commands.. now i have some buttons that all have the above script on them,the only difference being the "1100" number. they all work fine except 1 of them. If you go to the site and click on this problem button it will go to where you tell it , but if you go to this site and click on any other button first and THEN the problem button it will go to a random frame. it usually has about 10 particular frames it goes to but they are never in any order. The real kicker ... is that it will only do this once, after the button has taken you to the correct frame once it will keep taking you to the correct frame, until you refresh the page.
I'm trying to make a series of 16 short movies loop infinitely in a random order. I have a master movie clip called "random_mov" that has 17 frames. In frame one is an action:gotoAndStop(1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 17));Frames 2 - 17 are my individual movies (movie1, movie2, movie3, etc...), one per frame. The code above does seem to work, but it only works once, looping a randomly selected frame forever. I need it to go back to frame one after each movie is complete so it can select another random frame

View 5 RepliesI need to tell a button to go to a random frame of 6 frames. Lets say these frames are 20 to 25.

Here's my starting point:
ActionScript Code:
generateNew = function () {
n = Math.round(Math.random()*10);

I have a quick queshtion about movie clips. I was wonderng how to make them randomly go to a frame within themselves.
View 1 RepliesI ve recently done an animation that shows 4 different images when any of 4 corresponding buttons are clicked. This part works ok, but Im currently stuck on how to go about creating a function that scrolls through each of these 4 images in sequence from 1 - 4 without clicking any of the 4 buttons.This is the actionscript code so far:
stop();
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,play1);
function play1(event:MouseEvent):void{[code].....
I am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.
The following is a scenario, but not script:
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20:
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22.
I am currently doing this in a different way.
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So...
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.
Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?
I'm using Flash CS4 and I have to trim a .fla file down. I can delete the end frames no problem, but the first 600 frames that I have to remove are proving to be a nightmare. When I use the select>right-click>delete method it doesn't remove these frames, instead it removes the corresponding amount of frames from the end.

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 ?
View 3 RepliesI am having some trouble using Action script to access Instances on a timeline. Lets say that I have a MovieClip in my library that has three frames (frame number 1, 2 and 3) and each frame has sprite with the instance name IMAGE (each sprite is an instance of a different library object.) The MovieClip has the linkage name ThreeFrameClip. I can create an instance of this MovieClip like this:
Var MyClip:MovieClip = new ThreeFrameClip();
I now want to make all of the sprites invisible. How do I do this? Is there a way to access each frame using an array like this:
MyClip.frame[1].IMAGE.visible = false;
MyClip.frame[2].IMAGE.visible = false;
MyClip.frame[3].IMAGE.visible = false;
[Code].....
This kind of frame access had been a big problem for me in many different projects. I really do not like the second method.
Some how, the timeline panel isn't showing the frames. how to get it back I attached an image to show what i mean.
View 8 RepliesI have imported a few animated GIF's in flash. Each has a whole lot of frames. I am running the FPS at 35, and it obviously means that the GIF frames will speed up/slow down depending on how fast the FPS is. That is great, but is there a nice little trick to spread the frames out, without having to edit the MC and highlight a bunch of frames, and spread them out? I also attached a screenshot of me highlighting all the frames, preparing to move them over by one to spread out the frames. The first few frames are spread out already as you can see
View 2 Replieshow to literally describe what I want to achieve. But I believe it is an easy achievement for someone who is a little familiar with Actionscript (2).
I have a movieclip with backgrounds that fades in and out as the timeline within the movieclip plays. What I wanna do I place an actionscript at frame 1, before any of the background plays, that randomizes a gotoAndPlay function that jumps to a decided frames out of frame 2, 77, 152, 227, 302, 377 etc.
It should be a problem to use the same actionscript after each background has been shown? If it is, its no problem, doesnt matter too much. As long as the first background that is getting randomized is different each time you visit the website.
Here is my code to create a string like this:1-xxxxxxxxxx (where x is a random number)I'd like to display this number on subsequent frames using the same dynamic test field (feedback_txt).How would I create a variable which would hold the random number? How would I display the code on the subsequent frame so the string would display?
var myNum1:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*9);
var myNum2:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*9);
var myNum3:Number = Math.round(Math.random()*9);

Basically the problem is that the flash player skips my frames for some reason!Problem: calling gotoAndPlay("label"), and once flash gets to that label, it does play, but it does not reach the trace action at the end of the timeline, although it reaches the end of the timeline and loops to the beginning as far as the visible artwork is concerned. There is no stop actions involved in between the gotoAndPlay and the trace action.If I reproduce this in a simpler environment I do not get the error. In the file I am using a few of my own simple external classes, and the as2 EventDispatcher, and caurina Tweener.
View 1 RepliesOkay, so I've got a happy little movie that shows an atom diagram. Every seven frames shows an electron popping up in the ring around the nucleus. This is all contained in a movie clip. I want a button that when pressed, tells the movie clip with the atom to advance the seven frames ( making an electron pop up ) and then stop. The same button if pressed again, will advance the movie clip an additional seven frames ( thus adding another electron ).
I've looked around quite a bit but haven't found a solution that will work for me. Also, I am working in AS2. (if you're feeling especially helpful, do you also know how to do the same but in reverse? I've found how to play movie clips in reverse, but not for a certain frame interval.)
I don't know if there is a setting but all I see for my timeline is my layer names. It appears that I can drag the bar from between the frames and the layer names but when I do the bar does not move to adjust and view the frames... has this happened to anyone else?
I don't know what is happening.... I can't even find a reset tools button that might just reset all the window panels to their original settings.
I am new to AS3 and was doing a little bit of research before diving in. I wish I could just create external swfs to load with each button, but the CMS system that I am uploading to won't allow it~ so I HAVE to make the thing into one swf, but the file size is too large. Is it possible to make a button that loads only a few frames within the timelime? and the next button will load another few? this is what i found and it says i can't:[URL]
