If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
View 6 RepliesI am creating a "Kiosk" to be used in flash using ActionScript 2.0 with individual scenes. At the end of each scene is an outro and the beginning of each is an intro to give the impression of them all appearing seamless.So on each button I have added the following [code]Frame 180 is where the outro plays to enter the selected scene of that button. I would then like add to this piece of script that I want that button to go to that scene after the outro is played. So it would have something like gotoAndPlay(scene xx);The only other solution I have at the moment would be to make an outro of each scene for each button to jump to but this having 8 scenes it would end up adding up to 64 outros in total.So would there be a solution to simply have each button jump to the one outro then jump to its own scene?
View 3 RepliesFor some reason I can't add ActionScript actions to a timeline frame within a Button Symbol, like I normally would with MovieClip symbols or on the stage. The Actions panel shows this message:"In ActionScript 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. Please select a frame..."even though I definetely have a frame selected.
EDIT: Screenshot as requested. As you can see, a frame is clearly selected...
I'm trying to make it so that when a user inputs the correct word an event happens. It almost works except that the event doesn't fire until the NEXT keystroke. Is there a way to test for the word AFTER the keystroke has become part of WriteInOneText.text, without adding a separate button or anything? Here's the code:

What I want to do is to have a button and display some action. I put these actions in a separate scene. The following is my code:
[Code]...
I have 4 buttons on the stage and each button is correlated to a seperate movieclip.
btn1 - mc1
btn2 - mc2
btn3 - mc3
btn4 - mc4
I want each mc to appear when it's corresponding btn is clicked but it has to be the only mc on the stage...meaning whatever mc was currently has to disappear. I've toyed with numerous was to get this to work but I know there's a more code efficient way to do this than the code I have below. And I don't want to use any timeline.

I am trying to find a way to have separate actions activated for differently named Cue Points, that have been baked into an FLV.My FLVPlayback Component is named "topic5_2_flv" and currently, with a single action for all Cue Points, my code looks like this:[code]But now I need to have two separate actions to happen depending on the name of the Cue Point.If the Cue Point named "CueSlide" is reached, the following should occur:[code]If the Cue Point named "CueBullet" is reached, the following should occur:[code]I know how to work this in AS2, but have had no luck achieving this in AS3.
View 5 RepliesI wonder if a keyframe on an actions layer that has an action in it will work like a keyframe on other layers, meaning it will make all actions on the previous action frame inactive and only the actions on its corresponding action sheet available.If that is the case, is it possible to have at least two action layers to separate global and local actions?

how to add a delay to the attack button of the character. Right now you are able to leave the button pressed and the character stays on the attacking animation and you can simply do that to destroy everything, so at least having to press again to make the attack animation happen again would also be perfect.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to change a version of the gotoandlearn carousel to add an additional image that appears along with the first image when it's clicked on. I can get the movie clip to appear/disappear properly, but I can't get the photo to pull from the XML file and appear in the movie clip. I've tried everything and what I think should work doesn't. Here is my XML file and action script code: ("the2nd" is the movie instance, "image2" is the photo in the XML file that needs to appear).
XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<icons>
<icon image="carouseldogs/icon1.jpg" image2="carouseldogs/icon1a.jpg"

View 10 RepliesI am new to as3 and am having an issue transferring a Flash Video Gallery into a seperate flash file.Basically I want to add this video player file into a separate flash site I am making but don't know how with as3.I copy all the library assets from the video gallery FLA into the other movie, put the movieclips in the right location and upload all the relevant actionscript files, xml data linked with the original video player file but nothing still shows up when tested live.
View 0 Replies I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?
im trying to do is have a button that shows an animation (created by a duplicateMovieClip function) with onRollOver and stops the animation with onRollOut. It works when i roll over and it stops when i roll out, but then it continues in a loop up to the point where i rolled out (instead of cutting off completely as i would like). Id be extremely grateful if you could tell me where im going wrong.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to add multiple actions to the same button.e.g.on stage theres only one button, on first click it should make mc1 visible , on second click it should make mc2 visible and so on.
View 3 RepliesI`ve made a movie that has one button , now when I click on button this code will execute exactly :
Code:
b1.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("textarea-load.swf",555);

I need add another code to hide textarea-load.swf from my movie and this action should occur when I press same button once again . Note : I don`t have any movie with "555" instance name but it helps me to run my movie
I got four buttons that pull up images in a slide show. I want the fourth button to first pull the image in place and THEN shut down the movie clip. I thought this would be easy, but no. Unfortunately I canīt attach the fla-file on this forum. You could take a look at this:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
Thatīs the code for the last/fourth button, it pulls the fourth image in place. So thatīs in order.I added this below in the same script:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense. The movie falls into place when I click the button and the movie quits when I move the cursor. But it also means you might shut down the slide show involuntary when you move the cursor going for any of the other buttons.
I have made a simple menu with a 'slider' using this tutorial. What I am wondering is if it's possible to have different actions for one button. Here is my first menu button:

Now then, I am working on a game and I've come across a problem that I simply cannot figure out. I have a symbol with the instance name of "textbox" (genius, no?) and I have a button with no instance name. Now, within the "textbox" symbol, I have two frames; one of which is named "descentlava". When the aforementioned button is clicked, I need the "textbox" symbol to gotoAndStop on the "descentlava" frame. My feeble mind managed to whip up the following code for the button:
on (release) {
_root["textbox"].gotoAndStop("descentlava");
}
Unfortunately, this does not work and frankly, I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out all on my own. Anyone feel like they could offer some assistance?PS: Not sure if this changes anything, but I feel I should mention that the button and the "textbox" symbol are both within ANOTHER symbol with no instance name. Perhaps this is whats causing the problem, but taking everything out onto the stage is a big no-no. It must be contained within the symbol.
I used a tutorial to attempt to set up my code so that after a button is released and an external .swf is loaded the same button can't be activated again (on release or on rollover) until a different button is released.
Here is an example of my actionscript. What I'm trying to do here is just have the button not replay the mc in the over state if it's movie clip is already loaded in[code]...
I have a symbol that is movieclip (symbol name switch) which has got a switch on/off image inside it, if u click it, the 'switch on' image comes (frame 5) and when u click again the 'switch off' image comes (frame 1) Nw i want the symbol such that when i press it not only does the 'switch on' image come, but also change the image of another movieclip (symbol name 0bit) which is in the root timeline and not inside "switch" symbol
