I'm really gettin wound up now by this. I have made the navigation for my site, and here's some sample code for making the button animation work;
Code:
on(rollOver) {
if (!(_global.about_a == 1)) {
[code].......
this is the code i am using, i get what flash is doing, after i release the key it starts to play the "walking" frames- only i include the gotoAndStop("idle") so it doesn't get to play "walking".but what i am looking for it to do is play the walking only when the key is pressed and stop when released.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))//68
{
this._x += moveSpeed;
this.legs.gotoAndPlay("walking");
[code]....
This time I'm experimenting with visibility. All the tutorials online vary a lot. I'm trying to find something noob proof. I have actionscript 2 and 3. I'm not sure which one to use..I'm just trying to learn how to make a frame become visible and Play when I click on a movieclip.
View 5 RepliesI have a nested movie clip (image sequence) that I use the code snippet from Flash CS5 to GoToAndPlay. The Movie Clip loops continuously. How do I get it to play once and stop. I've tried the snippet for GoToAndStop, I've tried stop(); in my 'Actions' layer. I've tried a stop(); in the last frame of my nested sequence. I've tried a stop at the end of the function but nothing stops the darn thing. It keeps going and going and going.
Here is my typical code that loops....
stop();
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
function cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1); }
btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
function ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(10); }
There are two(2) buttons on the page, basically and back and forward button, and the image sequence is nested in a movie clip in this case at frame (1) and another nested movieclip at frame (10). How can I make it play once and stop on the last frame of the nested clip?
I have a movieclip in the mainframe that on a button release gets moved to the center of the screen with some set_property stuff and then I want the clip to play. So I added a tell_target on release, the target is /movieclipname and I then Go_To_and_Play the first frame. I have a stop action as the first frame of the movieclip as to keep it from running when I dont want it. I want that tell_target to make the movieclip play but sofar no luck.
View 5 RepliesI'm looking to have a movie clip pop up, play itself after a user clicks on a flash navigation button.

I have a movieclip (a), inside another movieclip (b), on the main timeline. I want to click on movieclip (a) and make it go to and play a keyframe on the main timeline. I'm used to using buttons for actions, not movie clips, and I forget how to use the _root thingy.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip within the "over" section of my button, which contains both an roll over and a roll out animation. My problem is that I cant seem to get flash to play the rollOut animation.
I placed the following code in the button itself
on (rollOut) { this.start_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseOut");}
I tried setting up a function to find when the user rolls off the button but it didn't work either.
I have a movie clip on the main timeline. This movieclip has buttons that I want to play different frames in scene 1.

What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.
View 17 RepliesWhat im trying to do is play a movie clip between frames. So say we have two menus, when you are on menu 1 and you click the button for menu 2, a short movie clip plays and then you stop on menu 2. I realise I can do this by putting the movie clip on the main scene timeline, but is there anyway i can put it on the button? I think the action script would be something along the lines of "On release play MovieClip and goto frame X" As i said i want the movie to play as an almost filmic transition between menus, with a fade up and then out (Have got that bit sussed using the alpha controls)

Can a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.
I am trying to create an interactive graphic. Basically, it's three squares layered on top of each other, with a large square in back, a medium square centered in the middle of the large square, and a small square in front centered in the middle of the medium square.
When you roll over the medium square, say, it expands to almost the size of the large square and some text fades in, and the small square on top of it fades away. When you roll off of the medium square, it goes back to it's smaller size, and the small square fades back in.
Currently, I have the actionscript in the movieclip to make the medium square get larger and smaller (and the text fade in), but I need to somehow reference the instance of the small square movieclip to hide it when I roll over the medium movieclip.
My actionscript for the medium square activity, currently:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[Code]....
how to have this rolling over action get rid of the small square and then bring it back on roll out.
My question is fairly simple, but I can't find a sollution. I have a button, and I want to play a movieclip inside a movieclip from the main stage. It is the 5th frame inside the movieclip 'page' from the movieclip 'book'. I have this, but it doesn't seem to work.
View 2 RepliesI was asking button to go to a movie clip on the main timeline that had a stop frame at the beggining. Flash won't do this because it doesn't recognise anything past a stop frame and used _parent instead of _root
code on the button:
on (release) {
_global.destination_detail = "first"
_parent._parent.gotoAndStop("content_mc");
}
And in the stop frame that's at the beginning of the movieclip that contans my content:
content_mc.gotoAndStop(_global.destination_detail) ;
stop();
So I've created a variable: destination_detail
I can't see how this isn't working:[code]The button with this funtion is nested within a movieclip on the main timeline.'content_mc' is the instance name of a movie clip on the main timeline that contains frame label "1". I want to play frame label one by clicking on this button.

I'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?
View 1 RepliesThis may come across as beginner stuff: I'm working In ActionScript 3.0. I have a MovieClip called FloorStatusChanges and within it are two MovieClips called Floors and StatusChanges.The MC called Floors contains Three wireframe-looking floors(each floor has it's own MC).The MC called StatusChanges contains three buttons that have the Instance Names of FirstFloorButton, SecondFloorButton, and ThirdFloorButton.Within the FloorStatusChanges MC, I've set up a motion tween for these wireframe-looking floors to move into and out of the stage so that upon clicking one of the buttons in StatusChanges it would, in theory, cause this motion tween to happen. It has stop(); commands between every motion:Within the StatusChanges MC, there are 4 layers. 3 are for each button consecutively and 1 for the Actionscript. This is how they look:Here's the set of actions I've given for the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
SecondFloorButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SecondFloorSelect);
function SecondFloorSelect(e:Event){

View 6 RepliesWhat is the code to make a movie clip button....when pressed...open or plays another movieclip...example.i have a button..and its a movie clip with roll over and rollout effect..once pressed...how do i make it link to an outside movieclip.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to make a reference to a movieclip instance that is in another movieclip.
Here's the deal: I have a main timeline for different pages of a website...then within that I make all of the art on each page into a movieclip so I can do animations every time that main timeline frame is called to, yet still keep my main timeline clean.
Within one page's movieclip I have a few buttons that I want to use to go to other pages by referencing them on the main timeline.I have been using this: (home_about is the about us button on my home page, and frame 31 is on the main timeline).
home_about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6(event:MouseEvent) :void
{[code].............
Since this home_about is within another movieclip,I get the access of undefined property error. Do I need to change the code I've pasted above or add in variable definitions to fix this?
This is en examle of what i want to make in a.s.: I have mc on stage, it has 20 frames, in frame 1 there is circle in left corner of stage, in 20th frame circle is on the opposite side of frame and there is motion tween between them. There is stop() script in the first and last frame. Now if i put on mc
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
it works ok but on rollOut mc rapidly jumps to frame 1, is it possible to make it play backward on rollOut and stop at frame 1.
I have found scripts to make them face the mouse, but when I try to tweak them to face another movieclip, they don't work.
For examples purpose make the MC: arrow face the MC: target.
On a button click I would like to accelerate at a specific moment the movie (from 24 frames per second to 60) and then slow it down again to 24 frames per second.
