But i want to be able to control moho.swf timeline so when moho movie reach its last frame (80) then go to its frame 60 and then again 80, and loop.
View 1 Repliesi am creating a website for a band, with an mp3 player. i want to be able to make an mp3 player that pops up in a separate browser window. the mp3 player would have a "playlist" that can be dynamically changed from the main window, which gives a list of albums & tracks to choose from. the model for this is Rhapsody's web interface. so, how would i go about creating & dynamically changing the playlist (while music is playing) across multiple browser windows? the "playlist" would be an array of references to mp3s, i guess-- so is there a way to pass events & variables across the windows?

I'm trying to get an invisible button to control the timeline of a movie clip. On rollOver, I want my movie, clipA, to move foward 1 frame for every fps that the user is over the button, starting with frame 40, until clipA reaches frame 50. Then on the rollOut I want clipA to move backward 1 frame for every fps that the user is off the button until it goes back to frame 40.
I was trying to use _currentframe+=1 & _currentframe-=1, but i got no response.
I use attachMovie to call movie clips succesively on the stage. I use a forward button to slide them in progression but when I want to go back in the same order everything gets messed up. You can see the swf playing here, [URL]..I numbered each frame so you can see when clicking on back button it gets messed up.
// Each of the button functions here call the add_page() function and pass the Identifier of the page that they will display b_0.onRelease = function() {

I am looking to control a movie clip with a backwards and forwards button. I need the clip to stop at every 5 second increment both backwards and forwards. my movie clip is 25 seconds long.
I have found script for playing a movie in reverse and have tried to change this so it will stop in the above points instead of playing to the beginning or end, but my knowledge in as3 is very limited.
Do i need to put some script that plays with percentage?
I am trying to make a menu that has a "slider" arrow at the top that points to the current button that you clicked. Right now I just have it so that if you click a button it changes the x position of the arrow movie clip to go over a certain button. I would like to create the effect where it moves slower to the different buttons and then it "springs" back and forth over the button getting closer and closer until it finally stops.
I have tried using some formulas that I found on the web, but I can't get the button to control the motion of the movie.[URL]
I have a button action not working to control another movie clip timeline. The movie clip timeline I want to control has an instance name but for some reason it's not playing. The button is on a different movie clip timeline. Both movie clips are on Scene 1. I think there is something wrong with my target path?
on(release){
_root.insMcWorkNav.gotoAndPlay("lbWork04");
insMcWorkNav is the movie clip, lbWork04 is the frame to play

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).
View 1 RepliesI'm building a website, in which the 'Gallery Page' has a link to an external swf file, which is a scrolling clip of thumbnails.
What I want to do, is create each thumbnail into a button, which will then play a Movie Clip from a frame located in the Main swf file. (So basically, each thumbnail button is a small photo, will play that photo in a large scale as a movie)
eg.
thumbnail1_btn needs to go to main swf and play movieclip1.mc, frame 1
thumbnail2_btn nends to go to main swf and play movieclip1.mc, frame 2
i have a homepage - home.swf, with a button - btn_menu, that loads menu.swf.
btn_menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menu);
function menu (e:MouseEvent):void{

[Code].....
the above part gives an expanded menu and it works fine. now i have a minimize button on the menu - btn_mini, that effectively removes the menu.swf
btn_mini.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,unloads wf);
function unloadswf(event:MouseEvent)

I have a javascript on my website that is called on any click. The script reads the name of the clicked item. This works fine for all jpg/gif images with a name, but how can I name a flash movie in such a way that this script can read it?

I am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.
