I have a main movie(main.swf). I've loaded a movie into it(loaded.swf). I need the loaded movie to finish playing once a button is clicked in the main.swf. So basically i need something like
when a button in the main.swf is pressed, finish playing "loaded.swf"
I have a parent movie that loads a swf(events.swf) file into a movie clip with an instance name of container. (container.loadMovie("events.swf");) It loads fine and seems to work great.
events.swf has a movie clip inside of it called design_mc that contains the content. In that movie clip I have a button that needs to target the parent movie and tell it to gotoAndPlay("eventsout"); which is on the _root of the parent movie. However, anything I try will not target the parent movie. I've tried _parent, _parent._parent, _root, and even assigning the parent movie this._lockroot = true; . Nothing seems to target the parent movie.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to tell flash from within a movieclip to start playing a specific frame within the main timeline only after it has finished playing the movieclip backwards. I can get the movieclip to play backwards fine but it's getting the main timeline to start from frame 1 which doesn't work. I have the following code on the first frame of the movieclip (which is called video) but it doesn't seem to do anything.[code]

View 2 RepliesI built a pretty simple Flash movie for a client and put a preloader on frame 1. The preloader works fine then the movie plays. What is happening is if you go to another page on the site and then go back to the home page all you see is the preloader bar fully loaded but the movie doesn't play. You have to refresh the page for the swf to play again. It is doing it to me in Firefox but not IE 8 and it is doing it in IE8 on my clients computer...
Here is the code.
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void{ var loaded:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded; var total:Number = e.target.bytesTotal; var pct:Number = loaded/total; loader_mc.scaleX = pct; loaded_txt.text="Loading..." + (Math.round(pct * 100)) + "%";}function onComplete(e:Event):void { gotoAndPlay(2);}
Here is a screen cap of what is happening. After you go back to the homepage all you see is the rpeloader bar fully loaded without the load text.
I've got loadMovie working and it loads a movie clip that has a stop(); on the first frame.At a certain frame within my main movie, I want to tell the loaded clip to play();My symbol is called "load1" without the quotes of course. It's an empty MC and on frame two my movie gets loaded into it. On frame three after a few seconds I have load1.play(); which I figure should work, but it doesn't!
View 1 RepliesI have a slideshow done in Flash. I have a main movie that has a slide on each frame of the movie, with navigation buttons. On each frame, I have AS2 that loads a different SWF per frame. The AS I'm using is:
loadMovie("Data/2.swf", "container");
stop();
The number "2" goes up/down based on the slide. I want a hard-wired number versus the frame number because my client is deleting/adding slides and it's easier to keep track of it hard-wired.
Right now, each slide I'm loading has its own play/pause toggle button that is this AS2:
on(release){
play();
}
So what I'd like to do is put the play/pause toggle in the main SWF (and put a graphic footer under all the buttons). So how do I tell the play/pause buttons to play/pause the MC that is containing the slide SWFs?
Im using loadMovie within a .swf on level 1 to load an external movie into level 2. But when this happens the sound function doesnt work. The 2nd movie being loaded has the newsound defined and everything within itself. It plays if i run that swf seperately or using ctrl+enter. Yet when the 1st movie calls the 2nd movie onto level 1 at runtime.The sound in the 2nd movie doesnt play. But its button sounds all seem to be working.

View 1 RepliesBoth F4V and MP4 files have "video/mp4" as their MIME type. However, I'm working on a Wordpress blog where I want uploaded F4V files to be shown using a Flash video Player, and MP4 files using the HTML5 [video] tag. Obviously, I can't tell them apart using their MIME type. Is there any other way I could do it, aside of the file extension?
View 1 RepliesI want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...

View 10 RepliesIn a game, how would I go about keeping records if a user is online or offline? I know when they logged in it could set something in the database that would indicate that they are online, however how would I know when they logout in any other method than pressing the "logout" button? Say if they just closed their browser..
View 2 Repliestell if a user is online, once they log in I set something in the database that say's they're online, when they log out change that. And set something up so they will d/c after 5-10 minutes of inactivity in case they log off any other way besides hitting "log out" However, I'm not exactly sure how I would do this, because the only way that I can think of wouldn't work, because say if they just closed their browser, then it would stop running my application, and thus stop running my check to check for inactivity..
how I can make sure if a user is already logged in accurately?
I am creating a site, and it has a animation that it has to play before loading the next section. What I cant figure out is what function I need to create so that when a user clicks on the vision button it will play the frame after stop(); which will close that section, then have it load the frame for the section that the person clicked on. The only way I can think of doing this is creating 3 different close animations for the three sections. But I figure there has to be a way to have it play the one close animation and then goto the frame which is the portfolio section or vision section (depending on the button clicked).

View 1 RepliesFrom my main timeline actions, how can I tell a dynamic text box inside a movieclip to update? I have a movie clip with the dynamic text box called catalog. The instance name for the text box is catalogtext. On the main time line, I am using a loop to repeatedly attach the catalog movie clip. I want the dynamic text to show the value of i, and each time the movie clip is reproduced, increase by 1 each time.
Here is my current attempt:
for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {
container.attachMovie("catalog","catalog"+i+"_mc", i+200);
mycatalog_mc = container["catalog"+i+"_mc"];
[code]....
Everything works fine, but the text box won't show the value of i. I must not be calling it correctly?
Is there a way of telling a null value in the _droptarget property?
Basically I've got 9 draggable objects, and what I want them to do is if there is no _droptarget when you release the drag, flick back to it's riginal position.
I'm moving a movie clip using actionscript (as2) instead of a motion tween (because I want to save file size) and I have this code on the first frame of the main timeline ("stone" is the movieclip instance name) and it tells the movie clip how many pixels to move in the x direction:
Code:
xTargetstone = 600;
I have this code on the movie clip itself ("stone" is the mc instance name) to handle the actual moving of the movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xstone = getProperty(_root.stone, _x);
movestone = _root.xTargetstone - xstone;
setProperty(_root.stone, _x, xstone + (movestone/5));
}
The movement works fine, but the issue is that it starts out fast and then slows down over time (even though that amount of time is small). The result is that the movie clip seems to wiggle and vibrate before it stops. Is there a way for me to change the code so that it doesn't wiggle and vibrate? perhaps something with the math I'm just not totally understanding? I would like a nice consistent motion from start to finish, while being able to set the time it takes to move etc.
