ActionScript 2.0 :: Start External SWF When Movie Clip Gets To Y Position?
Mar 3, 2008
I have one movie clip that when clicked on moves to the left of the screen, after it gets there I want another and exteral swf to load. But I dont know how to get the external clip to load after the movie clip gets to the left side of the screen....Here is what I got so far..
I just followed this tutorial and I did get how it all worked.. and i got my movie clip flying arround the stage. Then when i tried to apply it to a little project i'm working on, i couldn't get it working. I have a movie clip called mc_main and when i click a button I want it to move - using easing - to a new position on the stage. In the first frame of my timeline i have put this AS:
I'm trying to have a movie clip with 4 buttons that moves to the four corners of the stage.Depending on which button is clicked, the movie clip goes to that corner.he trouble I'm running into is determining the variable start points. If the end goal is the lower right corner, it needs to be able to move there from the upper left, the lower left and the upper right. So I need to set the starting position as a variable I assume, but can't get it working.
I have several movie clips on the stage. They are draggable. I want to be able to drag the movie clip, then when it is dropped, a copy of that movie clip will appear where the first one had been, and the first one will just stay where it is on the screen.
However, I'm running into problems with the syntax.
Created a text move clip that I have added Motion Tween, It works when I Play. But when I test Movie clip it does not work. What is the action script code to have it start when the it is loded in test.SWF?
I am new to AS3 and am trying to work out how to stop a movie clip from playing on mouse click. At the moment I have created a movieclip which plays when the user clicks it, but I now want to be able to stop the movieclip if the user clicks on it again. At the moment I have the following code:
stop();bigTree_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickplayAnimation); function onClickplayAnimation(event:MouseEvent):void { bigTree_mc.play(); }
The tree animation plays fine, but i want to be able to stop it if the user clicks it again.
I'm attempting to create a movie clip animation that plays a loop when you mouseover and when you mouse out off of the movie clip i want the loop to stop at that current frame and stay there until the next mouse over event which would then start playing the movieclip at "last" frame prior to the mouseout.
I have a movie clip container that contains 7 smaller movie clips, images converted to movie clips actually. This is a scrolling banner that can scroll left or right.
How do I start in the middle of this banner instead of the far left? That is, when the script first loads I want to be able to scroll left and right, not just right.
I have a flash CS project. I have one stage and some frames. How can I start all project from beginning using AS3? Or start all stage's content from beginning?
i'm trying to write the code for a flash animation which uses different movie clips and buttons.all the movie clips are in the same layer but i've written code to make all but one invisible when the animation loads.
i've then got buttons which are supposed to make the movie clips visible, but then disapear again after the clip has played.i want to be able to press one button to have one clip start playing, but then i want to be able to press another button which stops that movie clip and starts a new one playing.this is what i came up with but it doesn't work
on (press) { violin.stop(); harmonica.stop();[code]....
this script is from one of the buttons which is supposed to start the movieclip harmonica and stop violin playing.i've got the same code for violin but the other way round.when i press a button it works fine and plays the clip which then disapears (leaving a default clip which plays all the time visible) but pressing buttons to interrupt the clip and play another one don't work properly. the movie clips don't stop and reset when they are interupted. they kind of pause instead. when i go to play a clip that has previously been interrupted it starts from where it has been paused and not from the beginning
how do i add a movie clip to a button position? i want a button that, when clicked, slides out to a certain position and stop. kinda like a drawer in a desk.
Is it possible (in AS2 or AS3) to have a button that starts a video as well as an MC at the same time? The idea being that the video will play alongside a movieclip that contains animated quotes from the dialog of the video, so syncing would be critical to.
I am trying to get the position of a movie clip called "Shooter", returned to a variable called spitballYpos.
The movie clip is sitting on frame 6 (labelled "Shooting") of a movie clip called PDFstanding.
The position returns perfectly if I place the .shooter MC on the first frame of PDFstanding, but on frame 6 the variable result just returns "undefined".
What have I missed? If I need to reference the particular frame the 'shooter' movie clip is on, then what is the correct syntax?
I have two images pulling though an empty movie clip, using the actionscript below. I can't seem to figure out how to position both of them, could anybody shed some light on this? I'm using AS3.
actionscript and was trying to display a movie clip's x and y positions in dynamic textboxes. I can make them display the mouse's x and y positions but need to get it to say the movie clip's
I am creating a flash presentation for school. I am unable to solve this problem, that keeps on pestering me.The problem is:I am trying to create a touch screen calibration movie clip. The only problem i keep running into is, when i click the calibration touch screen cross, what is the script that allows the change in position of the cross after it has been clicked on?Example:The original cross is orientated on the top left of the screen, after it has been clicked i need it to move to the top right of the screen, then clicked again - bottom right, and again bottom left and finally clicked again to be displayed in the centre
I have a simple drag and drop interface, fill in the blank type thing, and I wat to lock a specific move clip's position once it's dropped in the appropriate place. Make sense?
Is there a way to test the _y of all movie clips and set a function that if there is a movie clip at _y = 75 that it is 'topMovie' and if another clip is at (topMovie + topMovie._height) THAT movie will be 'secondMovie' and so on ad infinitum?
I need to test for the x position of a movie clip and if its in place a do something otherwise if its in position b do something else. Can you tell me how to test for this?
how would i go about using a draw code(Code that allows users to draw within the flash) and restricting it to a certain size and location on the movie? for instance a 75x75 box located at xPos=200 and yPos = 150?
Like would I have to use a blank movie clip for the position? then make an invisible box within it to restrict drawing area?
I created an empty movieclip with:Code:_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);Where in the script can I add the x and y properties for that empty movieclip?
I have a simple question, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I'm an ActionScript beginner, by the way. I have a simple drag and drop interface, fill in the blank type thing, and I wat to lock a specific move clip's position once it's dropped in the appropriate place. Make sense?
I made two movie clips that follows the mouse but I want to put constraints on them, they should follow the mouse until the mouse reaches a certain distance and then the movie clip should pop back to its original x and y position.
Code: private function init():void { addChild(backgrnd);
Is there a way to position something INSIDE of a movie clip, based on X and Y values of the root stage?
Basically the X and Y of the container movie clip is at Stage.width/2; but I want one specific movie clip inside to stay permanently at 200X and 200Y on the MAIN STAGE. I can't actually move it to the root timeline though because it is using actionscript inside of the container.
I need to jump the movie clip position back and forth between two positions on the stage--without tweening--via a mouse click on a button. I have no problem doing this by creating a 2-keyframe timeline, and re-positioning the movie clip for each frame. To move back and forth from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1 on the main timeline, I wrote a gotoAndStop action for the button, (labeled flipflop.) In frame 1 of the main timeline:
The problem is, when the movie clip jumps from position A to position B on the stage, the movie clip resets to frame 1. I need the movie clip to hold its current frame as it changes position from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1. How do I do this, and would the method be the same if the single button controlled the movement of multiple movie clips?
