I have a setinterval thats playing up i am trying to load a external swf into the timeline after .5 seconds it works fine but it just keeps recalling the function, I just cant seem to clear the interval.
This is the AS on the button:
on (release){
trace("working");
_parent.play();
_parent._parent.fadeOut(7);
_parent._parent._parent.urdMain_mc.play();

I have a main movie (let's call it Movie 1) with a menu in it. Through that menu you can load several external movies into a container (lets call them Movie 2 and Movie 3).What i want to do is this:When i load Movie 2 into the container in Movie 1 at some point of the timeline of Movie 2 there is an actionscript that tells to load Movie 3 in the container of Movie 1.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash Project, and I have external SWF's that are loading and unloading into my project. However I need the external SWF's to be under certain layers. What I would love to be able to do is load my external SWF's into a MovieClip that is already residing on the layer underneath those items. However I have no idea how to do this.
I have the files here. Pretty straight forward, the main SWF("mod_loading_2.swf"), loads and unloads the other two SWF's("m-1_intro.swf", and "m-2_WIB.swf"). There is a layer named loader layer, and I would like to load the external SWF's into a movieClip on that layer. The load and upload code are in the main SWF
How do I load these SWF's into a MovieClip on the timeline?
im using a load targetscript to load external swfs into the main timeline of my movie, however im keeping much of the other layers/mc's loaded, and the external swf is loading over them, the level the blank movie clip is created in doesnt seem to be working propperlly?? whats going wrong?
bandb.onPress = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("empty2", 4);
loadMovie("flash/band.swf", "_root.empty2");
container._x = 0;

Trying to replace a timeline loop with a setInterval. For some reason, the function I am using to duplicate my movieclips is not working from setInterval but does work from a normal function call. Why would this be??? I know the functions is actually being called because I traced it. But the duplication of the ball does not.
birthBall = function(){
ball.duplicateMovieClip("ball"+_parent.counter, _parent.counter);
this["ball"+_parent.counter].colNumber = random(4);
this["ball"+_parent.counter]._x = _parent.column[this["ball"+_parent.counter].colNumber];

How can I use setInterval to start and stop the root timeline? I would like to use it in this little fade function wherein the setInterval would kick into effect once the alpha is 100%. You can see where I think it needs to go. Here's the code.
Code:
stop();
variable = x+5;
title_mc._alpha = 0;
function fade() {
var nFadeSpeed = 4;

I have a flash 9 app that calls a php script that in turn pulls in some variables from txt files. The function within the flash file that calls the php script operates via a setInterval() function. For some reason, this works fine in Firefox and Safari, but in IE the swf fails to update the fugures unless i clear the cache and reload the page..rather than the setInterval() function doing so every 60sec...

I'm having difficulty adding a setInterval to a Flash Movie I'm working on. Every time I try to introduce it all the elements fail to display.Attached is the Zip of where I'm up to so far - I have 9 blocks swinging onto the screen all at once (they finally come to a halt to reveal a picture). I'm trying to get them to appear one at a time with a delay inbetween.

The first scene will have an embedded movie clip and artwork as a background for approximately 150 frames, the next scene (Scene 2) then appears (in the first and only frame) which has the following (AS2) setInterval on it (to play a swf file on a movie clip - the swf lasts a little over 2 minutes. Hence, 122000 milliseconds below):
Code:
mc_demos.loadMovie("swf/aquira.swf");

I have a very odd issue with Firefox 3. Take the following code
ExternalInterface.addCallback("startAds", null, startAds);
function startAds() {
debug("Calling startAds");
[Code].....
The startAds function is called from javascript. When run in IE 6 & 7 everything works fine. When run in Firefox 3 i can see it enter the function and even assign and intervalId but the function set in the setInterval function never gets called. If i call setAds from actionscript and run it in Firefox 3 it works ok. Its just when the startAds function is called from javascript in Firefox 3.
I'm trying to create a wipe, where a bar expands vertically from the top to the bottom. This was accomplished with a motion tween. Now, I'm trying to use AS to duplicate that one bar across the screen, and this is done inside a movieclip, and the movieclip is on the main stage and it is setMask(my_mc); to reveal an image beneath.
Here's the code I'm using:
totalBars = Math.round(Stage.width/bars._width);
i = 0;
duplicate = function () {
if (i <= totalBars) {
i += 1;
bars.duplicateMovieClip("bars"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
this["bars"+i]._x = i*bars._width;
}else{
clearInterval(intervalID); }};
var intervalID = setInterval(duplicate, 10);
But it doesn't work!
i've tried searching the forums and fighting with this way of fading the movie clip in and out. The movie clip has an instance name of "box", my brother also can't figure it out.

I'm stopping on a keyframe, then using setInterval to advance after a specific timeout. The first time through everything works fine, but when the movie loops (user-initiated) and it gets to that keyframe with setInterval again, setInterval immediately advances the timeline and doesn't wait any time at all. The keyframe in question is coded like the following:

I am working on someones as2 file and I noticed that they had an onEnterFrame running non stop in the movie. I don't use onEnterFrame personally. So I tried to create a conditional to stop it. While the conditional worked its stopped the fluid animation they had used. So I need to figure out some other way to get rid of the onEnterFrame. Anyone have any ideas here? The AS basically resizes a box on stage when certain movies are loaded.[code]

I am having problems with this function, which is called when a button is pressed. I am loading a JPG with a movieClipLoader into a newly created movieclip, and while this is loading the other is still viewable and is faded and deleted when the new JPG has fully loaded, using the code below:
ActionScript Code:
function loadBigPicture(iValue:Number, firstTime:String):Void {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myBigPicture"+iValue, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(_level0["myBigPicture"+iValue]);

If the button is pressed extremely quickly again and again, the intervals begin to stop working
I have file with attachMovieClip repeated via setInterval. Even after I do removeMovieClip, the interval becomes faster everytime I press load button. Already did a search on the forum and found something, but to no avail. Following is code, and i have attached files.

[URL] In the movie linked above, the first two menu items trigger a menu to come out on the right side. Right now, it's the same menu (content wise), but the effect is still the same.
Here's my problem: If you let one of the menu's fully load before mousing over the next item, it works fine. However, if you mouse over the next link before the menu is fully loaded, you, the interval starts to snowball, and the menu's won't load fully any longer. The period the menu is down gets shorter and shorter the faster you go between the links.
I mentioned in my last thread, this is *not* the way I really want to handle the menu rolling up, becuase it's a hack/klooge - it's just not the best way. However, in light of me not knowing a better way to actually trigger the next menu once the first menu is rolled up, setting an interval seems to be the closest thing to what I want.
im looking for how to remove a setInterval. i searched but the answer which was supposed to work dident for me.

So I decided to make the jump today. I wanna learn how to use pure code only. I've been reading on how to structure the project and the packages and stuff.So I just wanna make sure I get this right.Let's say I still wanna make my project in Flash, basicaly I would only add my graphic elements (stuff I made in photoshop) to the library and export them for actionscript.Then only have one frame in the project, and script for that frame would probably be simple likeimport com.blablabla.init;And then call a init() function I would of wrote in that init class.Then within that init class would import all my other classes (would probably have something like visual classes, like navigation bar, background, etc and then structure classes with methods in them)And then everything just happens from within the init() function.
View 2 RepliesI'm streaming an external SWF into another movieclip, the external SWF has a timeline animation and sound (voice speech) as well on the timeline, it also has a preloader on it which it's set up that when 30% loaded is completed to start playing the animation.But when I run the main movieclip the streaming of the external SWF works fine for the animation but the sound does not play until the preloader is 100% completed.
View 1 RepliesI have two buttons at the bottom of my animation which should work all the way through the timeline.

Today I found that flash had no option to jump to unassigned frames.
Say, I am working on frames numbered from 1 to 250. Now I need to jump to frame number 15000 and I found that I cannot jump to the frame number 15000 directly. I have to click in the Timelline and move the scroller right to its full extent, again click in the last frame visible in the time line and so on continue this until I reached the frame 15000.
Is there any easy way to jump to frame 15000 ??
I have a main timline with MCs in it. when the MC gets to the last frame, there's an onEnterFrame event telling the main timline to go back to frame 129 (labled "b1") and play.
I got the MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1"); part added to my function to call the root. however, when I test the movie, it does everything correct except play. it goes to b1 and stops. here's my as3:
code: this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,goBack);
function goBack(e:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1");
}
why it won't play? I've tried using just the frame number and that won't help either. there's nothing else on the main timeline to stop the movie...
