View 2 RepliesI am a High school teacher working on a students work in CS4 flash Actionscript 3 and we are trying to stop the flv from playing when you click on the navigate to scene button. I can get the flv to stop but it is displaying in the background of the next scene.here is the code that i am using
import fl.video.*;
var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
myVideo.source = "1LEO_1 00-31-54.flv";

I wonderd if it was possible to do so when clicking on one of the options in the ComboBox, it could load an .swf into an container?

I'm loading an animated mc from the library into a placeholder movie clip. It adds alright but the animation freezes(including the sound which is really annoying). Any ideas? This is the setup function and I was hoping to use something similar to add movies to the generic holding mc via buttons(and remove them from the generic mc with a removeChild). Anyway, here's the code for initializing that I'm using.[code]

View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip with moviclips in them. Lets class it...
mainMC = main movieclip
childMC = mcs inside the mainMC
The problem is that the mainMC is to be used as a button. If I click the part of the mainMC with a childMC, it doesn't work. I have to click a blank spot on the mainMC where no childMC exist in order for it to properly register.
My knowledge of actionscript >= 0. You have been warned. So I'm using the falling snow action found on the Kirupa website ([URL]), and I have everything working great, the snowflakes are drifting gorgeously down my movie, and I'm deliriously happy that something *works,* and then I realize that I want to make the snowflakes stop. Specifically on frame 433, when my new 'scene' begins. I tried a buncha different (probably pretty dumb) things, like stop();, movieclip.stop();, even re-typed the duplicatemovieclip script to read removemovieclip and adjusted the math accordingly. Needless to say, it was all in vain.
View 5 RepliesI've created an object (a person named jop) from a number of other symbols, and I've added the person to the stage manually (i.e. not via AS). One of the symbols, the mouth, has multiple frames, and I would like to stop it from playing at runtime. Here's what I tried:
[Code]...
What I don't understand is why flash sees the mouth as a DisplayObject and not a MovieClip, when I've definitely gone into its properties to make sure it was a MovieClip. It would make a nice shortcut if I were able to handle MovieClips this way, so I hope theres a way...otherwise I guess I'd have to add all the components of poor ol' jop to the stage at runtime to have access to them as movieclips.
I have 5 movieclips on the stage. I also have a color picker. I would like for the user to click on the movieclip they want to change the color of. The color picker will change the color of the movie clip that the user has selected. Another feature that would be nice would be if the selected movieclip was highlighted or something so the user knows which one is selected. Anyone know if this can be done.
View 11 RepliesI am using Adobe Flash CS5, Action Script 3.0, and I want to disable my "home" movieclip after it has been clicked, so it stays a certain color or design that can't be clicked anymore. I already created the _up, _over, _down, and _disabled in the "home" timeline, and I don't know what to do after that.... i tried home.enabled = false, but it's already disabled when I hover to it. These are my codes so far:
stop();
home.stop();
home.buttonMode = true;

I have a Sprite that contains many MovieClips: by adding an eventListener (Mouse.CLICK) to the container Sprite I want to get the name of the MovieClip clicked. Is this possible?

View 4 RepliesIf I have a MovieClip, simply a blue square with class AS file called blueBox, in the constructor of the blueBox.as file I have:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, sayHello);
Why does this not call the sayHello method when I click the movieclip on the stage? I know on the stage that I could grab the instance of my bluesquare movieclip and add an event listener to it that way, but I just wanted to 'encapsulate' in a bit more.
I'm not very sure how to explain my situation... In short codewise: I have a movieclip that listens for a click-event, set trought addEventListener. At a certain point I 'addchild' a button to that movieclip AND disable the eventlistener of the buttoncarrying movieclip. (the button is over the movieclip on the screen, and clicking the button must NOT trigger the mouseclickevent of the parent movieclip.)
when clicking the button, i need to do some actions (works ok) AND get the movieclip listening to NEW clicks. But from the moment I add the evenlistener to the movieclip again, it seems to 'remember' the OLD moueclick meant for the button. That's what I can't have, I start to think that I need to flush a clickingbuffer belonging to the movieclip or something... Now in words: It's about a minimized login-window (=movieclip), that needs to maximize when clicking on it (anywhere on the window). When maximizing I add a form and some buttons. When clicking my "cancel"-button I want to minimize my login-window again and let it listen for mouseclicks again so we can maximize it again..
I want to do this: When the mouse is between two y-coordinates, let's say 40 and 50, a movieclip is supposed to be moved. How should I do this? I can move the movieclip by clicking on a button but how do I do this one? And where should the code be put? I thought that this code would work if I put it in the first frame, but it's not..
[Code]...
Basically, I need it so you click my movie clip with instance name of "bg"and it links to a site.. but it also opens as a new tab (Not a new window, but a tab like in mozilla), or a new window in internet explorer

I have a booking form with some combobox's that's placed within a MC. My issue is that the combobox data isn't showing. When you click the drop down you can see the data, but when it's closed it doesn't show.
Here are the fla & swf files so you can see what I'm talking about...

Im having trouble stopping or starting loaded swf files. I need to dynamically load the swf file but make sure it doesn�t play until the user requests it. The trouble is I wont know anything about the loading swf file (for example frame labels, if it has a 'stop' script in the first frame etc.) Ive attached a simplified version which I think illustrates the problem but the code is:

I am embedding SWFs into Articulate Presenter for final publishing. Some of the SWFs have child movieclips with animations. How do I stop the child movieclip playhead when the parent timeline is paused from the Articulate controls? I'm thinking there must be an event listener for when the parent timeline stops, which could trigger the child movieclip to stop.
View 1 RepliesI have a nested MC that functions as a continuous slider; when you mouse right of center it slides one way and when you mouse left of center it slides the opposite direction. Right at center it stops. The problem I have is that I'm using this as a menu at the bottom of a .swf and there are other places to mouse on the page, which means that this menu is constantly in motion even when it's not being used. I want it to stop when it isn't being used, only because it's an MC I can't use the onMouseOut command to stop the clip. I tried making a button that targets the clip and stops it when you roll over the button but it doesn't work.
Here's the script I'm currently using:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xcenter = 467.5;
speed = 1/25;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;

I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.
View 1 RepliesWhat happens is I've used the the bus and car mcs to drive on both sides of the road in the animation (they will go across the screen then flip over and drive back within their respective mc).When they first cross over they are layered right but because of the timing of each animation, there is a point where both are going the same way on the same side of the road. At this point the bus pulls up higher (to the side of the road to pick people up) and the car passes it. The problem is when the car passes it is registered as being behind the bus (which would be hitting people).So i'm trying to get the car to swapDepths and come to the front Only when driving on one side of the road, so only at a certain frame reference essentially - not the entire mc.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip viz. A. Inside that I have another movie clip viz. B. Now A has an event listener which returns its X, Y on mouse down, which in turn is used to magnify A taking those X,Y as the center point. B has its own event listener, one for changing color on mouse over and other to show a pop-up on mouse down.
Problem: When i click anywhere inside A, not covered by B, there is no problem fetching X,Y. But if i click on B, which is covering some area of A, it doesn't work. Simply because the event on B is probably not letting the event of parent to fire. Even if i write to fetch X,Y on mouse down of B, it returns its own X,Y and not of the parent, i.e. A. Because of this, the magnification doesn't work accurately in cases where child movie clip is obstructing an area of parent movie clip.
On the code i'm writing you can select an object to interact with it, but to deselect you have to click on it again, is there a way to make the deselection by simply clicking out of the MovieClip?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to play a nested movieclip by clicking on a button. I have an instance name for the nested moviclip, and this is the code I atatched to the button:
on (release) {
_root.conference.gotoAndStop(35);
}
Nothing happens when I click the button with that code. However, if I take out the instance name, the button will play the frame specified:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(220);
}
I'm doing a project that has a lot of time line animation.There are 5 buttons. Each one plays a multi-frame MovieClip containing sounds embedded in its timeline.Then there is a button that stops any of the playing movie clips. Of course, this doesn't stop the soundsormally, I'd just use...ActionScript Code:SoundMixer.SoundTransform.stopAll();Problem is, I also have non-timeline sounds that I have playing on a loop for background music, and the SoundMixer would stop the music too. But I don't want the music to stop.Doing some research, I think any MovieClip can have a SoundTransform property you can adjust, so I should be able to control the sounds just inside specific MovieClips. But I can't figure it out.
