I know you can evaluate the total frames of an entire movie (read: swf) with _totalframes.
I know you can evaluate the total frames of an mc with instancename._totalframes.
how to evaluate the totalframes of a single scene within a movie?
scenename._totalframes does not seem to work
DId things change in regards to publishing scenes? I know I can publish preview a scene with the option-command-return, and that still works, however it does NOT replace the swf file in the location chosen in the Publish Settings.
I have an old .fla I need to get swfs published from each scene... this used to be a piece of cake.
ive made a button in the scene 1 which i have managed to navigate to scene 2 but when i click the button it goes to scene 2 but displays everthing that is in scene 1 in scene 2, how can sort this out so upon the button click in scene 1 it goes to scene 2 and only display content in scene2.

i'm trying to convert the total amount of frames of my movieclip into minutes:seconds:frames, but my return value is not correct. the total frames of my mc are 3348
[Code]...
Is there a way to get the total frames and current frame of an externally loaded swf? The code I am using below does not work. My _root timeline has three objects: two dynamic text boxes and a container clip. Their instance names are myText_text, myText2_text, and loader_mc, respectively. I have two variables, "i" and "j", which populate myText_text.text and myText2_text.text, respectively.The problem is that the values display "1" because they are getting the value of the container clip and not the movie loaded into the container clip. I need the _totalframes and _currentframe properties of the externally loaded clip, not the container clip. My code below doesn't work. Any ideas?[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a program where I am supposed to first load a swf in the first frame (i will not know how long that swf is), and when that has finished playing the main program i supposed to move on to the next frame. Now my question is, can I somehow figure out how long that swf is from within my main program or will I have to put a simple _root.gotoAndPlay(2); in the last frame of my loaded swf?

I want to create a kind of "video player" that will allow me to move a playhead accross all theses SWF that are playing back to back. What I need to do is get the totalFrames of all these swf objects that are to be loaded. I tried loading each SWF (using the Loader class ofcoarse) and on the COMPLETE event grab the totalFrames and then move to the next SWF to populate an array that will be used to create a UI piece. The problem is that it starts playing the swf once it load and you can hear the background sound of each SWF. It also slows the program down. Is there anyway of grabbing the totalFrame property from external SWF's without actually having to load each SWF?
View 2 RepliesGood to see Flash Kit forum lasting a long time. It's been some time since I was last here. Just upgraded to CS5.5 from Flash 8 and having difficulty migrating a counter to ASC3. Managed to rebuild my other time line controller buttons. The counter is ASC1 and inside a movie clip Total Timeï In the clip are 2 dynamic/variables text boxes. min0 and sec0ï They output minutes and seconds as 2 figures. 00 : 00. With a colon graphic in-between. It takes the old _root._totalframes count then produces the times.

Recently I got trouble with totalFrames attribute of MovieClip object, this is the case: in Flash CS, I created two movieclips, one has say 10 frames animation, another one, I drag the first MC in to it, then the second MC has only one frame in it's own time line, right? Then I export them as SWC file to include them in my project. Here's the problem, when I'm trying to get total frame number of these to MC like below, I just get to actual number of frames in the second MC:

So my question is, is there any way to get the actual number of frame for those MovieClip resource like the second one, without visiting any sub-movieclips in it
I have a peculiar problem with a swf published from Captivate (full motion recording, single slide). I wish to use the swf in another flash movie, and basically want to have things triggered when the movie has finished playing (like going to the next frame, where I plan to embed another swf). After doing some research, I decided to go with a method in which the movie's current frame is compared with the movie's total number of frames. To my surprise, the trigger occurs after only one second. Tracing the MovieClip(myLoader.content).currentFrame and MovieClip(myLoader.content).totalFrames reveals that the first one stops at 32, and the second one returns also 32 (according to captivate, it has 1411 frames). Yet the movie keeps playing.
I'm guessing that I'm referencing the wrong "currentFrame" and "totalFrames", but am completely lost as to why it's not working like it should.

detecting the totalFrames of content loaded into a Loader?
I made a dummy animation just for testing (150 frames of text just tweening across the screen) to load. I load that in and when it's loaded I'm always told it's only 2 frames long.
e.g.:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code].....
I just wrote that by hand now as an example so there might be a typo here or there but you get the general idea. I'm using CS5, flash player 10, just testing the movie and every time it traces 2 total frames. how to tell how many frames the loaded content actually has?
i have an array containing 4 mc:
Code:
private var notesDefinition:Array = [Note1, Note2, Note3, Note4];
When faceMc moves (while dragging or as a mouse trail), points are created dinamically every 200px and one of the array�s mclips is added there in a random function. Now i need to remove that mc when it reaches its last frame (just the mc on stage, not remove from the array). I tryed the following but its not working.
Code:
private function drawingAPI(event:Event):void{
var addNewNote:Boolean = false;
//add first point

Is there a simple way using currentframe and totalframes to have dynamic text fields display what frame the user is on? (exp. Page: 4 of 25) I have been looking and can't seem to find anything.
View 6 RepliesI am loading an external swf as a child and I want to get its "totalFrames", but I get the following error: "Property totalFrames not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value."Is there a way to get totalFrames from a child? Here is what I have:

Is there any way to check the currentframe or totalframes of a movie loaded into a 'holder clip' on the main stage? Everything i try just comes back with 1 frame despite there being more than that?
View 3 Repliesso I have some buttons that, as of right now, simply trigger the scene to move on while at the same time killing some particle effect animations I have spawning when the animation is idle. What I now need to do is make these events move on to a specific scene AFTER the rest of the scene's animation has played out (about 400 more frames) I'm figuring that the gotoAndPlay command has to be tied to some sort of timer variable that I would have to figure out based on my fps. Or maybe there is a way to set up a timer directly tied to a certain amount of frames allowed to go by. I'm pretty noob at actionscript, so keep that in mind. Here is the script at the point where the animation pauses to await user input on the buttons:

I've created a class which simulates an action for example a ball bouncing about a screen thus I'd create it like so:
Code:
var Ball1:ball = new ball(x,y);
How would I go about adding this to a loop, in a sense of every frame add another ball till you reach the maximum balls
currently after looking in help, google and forums this is all I could find
Code:
var ["Ball"+currentball]:ball = new ball(x,y);
but this doesn't seem to work and just causes
"**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=balls, frame=1:Line 15: Identifier expected"

View 11 RepliesI have an eventListener on a particular movieClip that triggers the timeline to play when clicked. This should play through a short tween, then hit another piece of actionscript in the last frame of that scene, which should take you to the next scene. I also have an audio file loaded into a soundChannel, as well as a few timers that operate a click prompt over the movieClip already mentioned. My bug is that if you click on said movieClip before the soundChannel is finished playing, all functions properly. However, if you wait for the sound to finish, this initiates a few timers that cause a prompt to fade in, telling you to click on the movieClip. If you click on it, still, everything works fine. But once the timers complete their work, and the click prompt fades back out, the tweens do not operate properly. If you then click on the movieClip, the timeline seems to play doubletime until coming to a stop() action in the next scene.
