In last frame of my movie I have some code like this on: gotoAndPlay(125); Now I want to pause my movie in last frame for 10 seconds and then execute above code . How can I do it with AS 2.0?
View 10 Repliesif its possible, via AS3, to create a frame label in a movieclip on a specific frame.
Obviously I can do it by manually by setting up labels on the timeline within the target movieclip, but I would rather use an array so I can loop through it, creating a label name on a the specific frame each time?
so for example I would end up with:
myLabelOne on frame 10
myLabelTwo on frame 25
myLabelThree on frame 115
etc
I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 100 * _parent._totalframes);
if (framePos < 0) {

I want to create an input box which directs a user to a specific frame, based on what they enter.I'm making a text-based adventure game, in homage to the ones of old, and basically, if someone enters say the word, "light" into the box, I want it to take them to the frame labelled "light".I also want the input box to respond ONLY to enter key pressing.
View 9 RepliesI need to allow the user to create a circle with a specific radius and colour in a certain frame (lets say frame 2), and then add that circle as a symbol to a different frame (say frame 1). First off, im simply creating a circle.. This is what ive got in frame 2 so far:
(in Frame 2 of the timeline)
Code:
stop();
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.Shape;
[code]....
Ive got this much working, but I dont understand how to convert the output of this function to a symbol usable in another frame..
how to code this on a button
onrelease
gotoandplay(10); // i need delay here before activating the next code below//
gotoandplay(80);
the trick is.. i want the button to play frame 10 to 40 then after playing from frame 10-40 the movie stops and then play frame 80 to 100
i need to change the colour of a graphic in a specific movie in a specific frame. if i have a movie clip instance-named "sidetext" thats 15 frames long, and i want a graphic in the movie, called "letterp" to change to one of four colours that i want it to randomly at frame 10 and stay that colour uintil frame 15, how can i do this?

View 3 RepliesBasically once my animation loads I want to pull in an external SWF at a specific frame, basically like the "home page" swf that will display first. Underneath that I will have "About Us, Contact, etc..." and those will each load an external SWF into my movie clip. My movieclip right now is called mcHolder. Here is the code I am currently using for the buttons:

I'm trying to get the following movieclip smallbutton to link to frame 5 on movieclip cont.The way the timeline is built is as so:content_mc > cont > (more mcs) > smallbuttonThis seems to be an issue from every answer I've tried so far since the movieclip "cont" is not being called in the main timeline; first there's content_mc and then comes cont.How would I go about getting the movieclip "smallbutton" to link to the 5th frame of movieclip "cont"?This is for AS 2.0So far I'm at:on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("cont"); _root.smallbutton.gotoAndPlay(5);
View 7 Repliesis the following "getTimer" script correct to delay a dedicated frame in the animation by 5 seconds? is there any additional criteria to add in order to make it more solid?

Im working on a small drag and drop project and for the life of me I cant seem to work out how to get my movie to delay before it goes to the next frame.
Basically when a clip is dropped onto the target I need a short delay of about 5 seconds before going to frame 2.
I know that I need to set a variable but cant work out how to utilise it [code]...
i have a very simple animation in flash CS4. My image travels from point X to point Y over 90 frames.I would like the image to stop at frame 45 for a few seconds, before continuing.
View 1 RepliesI've got a fade out animation using ENTER_FRAME. I want the fade out to start after 2-3 seconds. How can I create this delay?
[Code]...
I'll try express this as easily as I can: I have an input text box (call the instance whatever you want). What it does is when you type a word, it makes another movie clip (let's say the instance is MORPH) go to a certain frame. The code is simple, but I'll give it to you to give you a better idea:
[Code].....
check is just a light that turns green if the word is complete, so ignore that. Whenever the MORPH object goes to, say "Earth", it plays an animation and afterwards, it hit's a gotoAndStop(1); code, stopping it at the first frame. What the problem is, say, you type earth, it goes to the EARTH animation, but before the animation finishes and goes back, you type EARTH again and it skips straight to the start of the animation. It looks very rough and bad.
What I want is, say I type Earth and the animation plays, and before it finishes the animation, and I type EARTH again, it waits until morph get's back to frame 1. So yeah, to delay a function until a certain frame is reached. Oh, and another thing. Is there a way to make a button click with AS2? Pretty much when it makes contact with another object, it... clicks (whatever it does to reach the DOWN frame and stay there until the other object moves off).
I have a movie which calls a external js on the last frame which closes the parent iframe in which the swf sits. However i want the user to stop at the last frame foe some seconds before if calls for the js to close the iframe.
View 3 RepliesI have 40 frames on a timeline, each frame has an tweening script below:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TransitionManager.start(week_2,{type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration: 12, easing:Strong.easeOut})
And on the main timeline for the functions and buttons play/pause/next/previous is working good except, I want to delay every frame for like 10 seconds.
Code below:
stop();
// button Play/Pause navigation on timeline
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStopClick, false, 0, true);
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);
function onStopClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {

I am loading a swf into an empty MC with this code:
on(release) {
loadMovie("movie.swf", _root.container);
}
what I want to do is also go to a specific frame or frame label in that loaded movie. I thought I could do it by adding something like this:
_root.containter.gotoAndPlay("frame");
Is there a way to get the frame label on a specific frame, without it being the current frame?
I've tried accessing it through:
this.scenes[0].labels but it doesn't allow me to check a specific point on the timeline.
Im new to action script and am just starting to understand it. Im trying to create a loop with a delay in it but am not having much luck passing growing variables to the new function.

I was wondering if there was a way to create a delay between tweens? for example i want one object to tween and then half way before that first tween finishes, a 2nd tween starts

View 1 RepliesI have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript. When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded.
The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete. Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)
I'm using the following code to delay my movie a set time for each frame:

This works fine but I want to be able to change the length of the delay for each frame. I've tried alsorts but my as3 knowledge is limited
I have a number of cases where I have a tween happening in ActionScript, but I would like it to happen after a delay from the event that triggers it. At the moment I'm creating this delay by having a tween that does nothing (eg. an "_x" tween for which the start and end points are the same) and then using tween1.onMotionFinished = function(){to create the one I really want. Is there a way to create this delay more neatly?
View 1 RepliesOkay my_btn will do this;
image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");
gotoAndPlay(frame#);
What i want to do, is, make it wait before it the timeline goes to the certain frame#, so the image_loader1 loads its image1. I'm making it wait, not because it takes time loading (which it would not, since image1 is already on the stage, loaded up in image_loader2) but the image still takes time to show on the image_loader1 (half a second).So, I want my_btn to be functioned like this that it performs its first action which is
'image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");' and then 'gotoAndPlay(frame#);'..
I want to do a small delay for just a couple of frame between each duplicating in the script below. how to do this? Is there any easier way than using setinterval? I have tried using setinterval but I don't understand how to do it.show me another way to create timing with actionscript...

delay the timeline for lets say 10 seconds when it enters a frame?
View 9 RepliesI create 3 instances of the class below. I need to find a way to call them with a delay so they get added to the stage one after the other. Is there a class that lets me queue up functions? Or an economical way to do it with the functions built into flash.
