View 4 RepliesI have my main swf and another swf in "/tools/FrameJumper.swf" In my main swf I have a movieclip container on the stage "myContainer" and when I click a button it loads that "FrameJumper.swf" into that container. Now in that "FrameJumper.swf" I have a txt box and a button. here is the code on that button

I can't load a jpg or a swf in dummy2(in central.swf) by pressing a submenu button.

Suppose I've got 2 SWF files, SWF 1 and 2. SWF 1 has several frames in it. Is it possible to use buttons in SWF 2 to change frames in SWF 1, and if so, what code would I use?
View 1 Repliesi've created a mc and inside that i have a dynamic text field, named 'inside'. Iside the mc i've created three key frames, first frame is untouched, second frame, i've changed the color of my text to red, and in the third i've changed the color to yellow. Now i have i awful blinking mc.I'm trying to change the text of my text field. I'm guessing that for every key frame i create i get a new instance of my text field, so i should change the text in every frame of the mc. So i've tried:
mc.inside.text = "test";
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
mc.inside.text = "test";[code]....
well i know that the text changes in the current frame, but as soon as it goes to the next frame the text changes back to its original.
I have created an animation where I have pictures and text accompanying the pictures sliding in and out. However, I want to change the font of the text across the entire animation. What is the easiest way to do this? I have found when I have tried it, (changing the font in the text box) that sometimes it throws the whole animation out for each key frame that has that text (if this makes any sense). In other words, suppose I change the font in keyframe 1, the change it at the next keyframe, sometimes the second keyframe is no longer consistent with the first, perhaps only slightly and therefore the animation can run a bit choppy as it goes from keyframe to keyframe.
View 2 RepliesWhat I want to know is how to I access movie clips in different timelines in AS3.I want to be able to change the color of some movie clips. If I can access them directly there's no problem. Problem is when I try to access a movie clip that's inside another movie clip AND on frame 10.what I have is this:
var myColor:ColorTransform = somePath.transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0xFF0000;
somePath.transform.colorTransform = myColor;

Its a simple adding "game" where 2 numbers are randomly generated and you have to input what you think the answer is (userAnswer). Then it adds the two numbers it just generated to produce correctAnswer, and checks it against userAnswer. When you hit the check answer button, it moves the the score dialog frame and says whether its correct or not. But I am having 2 problems I think - 1 - I can't get the input textfield to assign the typed-in value to userAnswer (I'm trying userAnswer = inputAnswer.text; ) and - 2 - the second frame that has the score and "Correct!" / "Incorrect!" dialog can't seem to access any variables from the first frame. I've tried using two layers and keeping the variables on the second layer that spans both frames, but then the functions in the frames that you actually see can't change the variable to update it with the user's input.

View 3 RepliesI ve recently done an animation that shows 4 different images when any of 4 corresponding buttons are clicked. This part works ok, but Im currently stuck on how to go about creating a function that scrolls through each of these 4 images in sequence from 1 - 4 without clicking any of the 4 buttons.This is the actionscript code so far:
stop();

i'm trying to create a simple "slide show" where i am able to control the speed using a simple setInterval function. where i am running into trouble is that on a few of the frames i have some content (flv's etc...) that needs to play through before moving on to the next frame. so i need to stop at these frames while they play through and then continue (using the same interval set at the beginning) once they complete. i need this to be as flexible as possible as there will be alot of changes etc... i basically have it set up so far like this:
//main "wait"
var xInterval:Number;
xInterval = setInterval(nxtFrame, 2000);
function nxtFrame():Void
[Code].....
i'd also like to be able to have all of my script on the first frame.
i have this little display and when you click on certain items their alpha changes to 0.1, this worked fine until i added another frame with a different display on another frame. so now when you change frames and go to the new display then go back to the old display on frame 1 the alpha properties are all reset back to 1. So to fix this i thought i could simply add all the movieclips with an alpha less than one to an array when i left the frame then when you come back to the frame you could reset all the moviclips in that array back to having an alpha of 0.1. But this doesnt seem to work. here is the code i used.[code]But this code doesnt seem to work, the strange thing is even when i add some trace statements they tell me that the alpha does in fact equal 0.1 but visibally they haven't changed.
View 2 RepliesI want to go to a specific frame after a movie clip finishes, how do I do this?
View 1 RepliesI know this can't be to hard too achieve, but my actionscript skills aren't quite up to it yet.
- I have 5 frames within a MC.
- In this MC there is text saying "center", "left", "right", "up", "down" on each frame.
- All I want to be able to do is make the MC change to frame 3 "right" when my mouse moves to the right of the MC.
I know the script below is wrong, but would it go something like, this. Would I have to use angle and math or is there a simpler way to achieve this?

I have a 4 frame game that moves from frame to frame depending on what the player does.On the first frame, I have an intro and a button to get to the main portion of the game, frame 2. The frame loads up and the game code runs, but until the player clicks again on the stage, the keyboard controls do not function.The code for the button is straight forward. I have a button object and the following code in the frame:
playGame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); function goodLuck(evt:MouseEvent): void { gotoAndPlay(2); removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); }
I've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?
I made a flash website that has several different "pages". I just found out after creating it that a QR code will be used to navigate to the about page. The only way I can see doing it is by having the QR code navigate to [url].......On that html page, is there a way for me to use actionscript 3.0 to tell movieclips to go to certain frames? My .swf only using internal scripting.

Each one contains it's own class and functions etc.I put each of these movieclips on diffrent frames in my timeline.My question was, if I am going to put these movieclips, on 2 or 3 frames on my timeline what will be the impact on speed of application (in mobile afcourse).For example MovieClip2 will be put on frames 2,3 and 6.It has 300 lines of code. Is the impact noticable ?

I need to set movie clips at specific frames from an existing array. For example, if I have the array [4,7,3] and three movie clips, I want the first clip to be at frame 4, the second at frame 7, and the third at frame 3. Except I have 100 of these, not just three.
Here's the code I'm using to test it out on a single movie clip. It isn't throwing up any error messages, but it isn't working, either, and the movie clip remains stubbornly set on the first frame. 'Randomorderlist' is the array, which is working perfectly. The trace is also working correctly and displaying the number of the frame I want for the movie clip.
function assignframe():void {
boxsymbol(gotoAndStop(randomorderlist[0]));
trace(randomorderlist[0]);
}
assignframe();
I think I might know why it isn't working, but I'm not sure. 'boxsymbol' is the class name rather than the instance name. I first tried the instance name, but it came up with a 1180 error and stuffed up the whole SWF badly. This was the only way I could fix it. Also, Flash wouldn't let me use the same name for the class and the instance. It forced me to use classes, even though I don't really want to.

View 1 RepliesI added some movieclips from the library via the addChild method. The actionscript is in frame 1. I have a button which takes me too frame 2. When I click that it takes me to frame 2 but it also leaves every single MovieClip on the stage from frame 1. This is terrible annoying. As I want it to only display the movieclips on frame 2 not the movieclips from frame 1.
Code:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

There is an actual frame 2 keyframe so don't think I didn't leave that out. Adding the line removeChild(playButton); just gives me a compiler error about calling.
How do I play a series of frames sequentially... (each one has a movie clip on it), and I don't want the next frame to start until the nested movie clip has finished playing?
View 1 RepliesI've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
