In the continuing evolution of my code, I simply want a button to alternate moving the playhead backwards and forwards along the timeline between frames 1 and 17. This code is not working. I have attached a screen capture to clarify your questions in advance
[Code]...
I have a forward and back button that load several images in a sub-folder that load to a UIloader.
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
function nextImage2(evtObj:MouseEvent):void{
imageNumber++;

I looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?
View 3 RepliesI was trying to accomplish this same effect using actionscript 3.0; (click the forward and back button next to the recent work)[URL] he has made buttons play a movieclip at different points of a timeline...Basically this is what I came up with (see my cooment).
//Flash - go get code that's going to make the tween work... import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;stop();
//home_mc animation - animate in..var gd_fullsize_01Tween:Tween = new

I'm finally getting into AS3 and making a portfolio with left & right (forward & back buttons) This is the code on the actions frame of the main timeline:
stop()
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, forward);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backward);

I am trying to use the BrowserChangeEvent.BROWSER_URL_CHANGE in my application to handle to user click of browser back and forward buttons. However, the event I receive does not contain information about which button (back or forward) was clicked. Is there are way to get this information?A related question: How do I get the URL that would be displayed when the user clicks the back or forward button in the browser? The lastURL contains the information about the current page.

when the menu items are clicked it calls the SWFAddress.setValue( ); which changes the address bar and triggers the event listener: SWFAddress.addEventListener( SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, swfAddressChange );
this is visible by the textbox in the upper left hand corner, it changes to reflect the value. But when you click the back button, the event SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE is not set off and the result is the textbox staying with the previous value.
as you can see from the html code, the flash Object has an ID, the swfaddress javascript is imported after swfobject. ( using swfobject2.1, swfaddress 2.3 )
the basic idea is i have a forward button and a back button.. I have 3 swf's that i want to load/unload with these buttons..
[Code]...
this is what ive started with for the forward button... as it is now when i click the button it automatically executes the else and loads scene_3.swf so i know i have something wrong.. the idea is that if the viewer is on scene_1.swf hitting forward will load scene_2.swf, if they are on scene_3.swf nothing should happen when they click it as (at this time i only have 3 swfs available, but eventually i will have 8 ) of course i would be using this as well on the back button...
Instead of using a created back button, how do I put the script on the back and forward button on IE Netscape browser buttons?
View 5 Repliesi've made a game with 2 view so i need to be able to switch between them during it. Instead of making a goto frame 7 on the button on one frame for example and then a goto frame 8 on button on the next frame is there a way i could just put go forward 40 frames for example and apply that to the button on each frame, so on frame 1 the button would take u to frame 41 and on frame 3 it would take u to frame 43.furthermore, is there a way i could make it go back say 40 frames to switch the view back?

I need to make the back and forward button that goes to the next/previous block in XML file.
I have an app that makes api calls to a server to send and receive data using the URLLoader Class. There's nothing special about it, it's just a standard call that send variables and receives json. My app also hooks into the back/forward/address bar functionality using JS, for secondary navigation.
I've just been testing and have noticed that if i make a call, then press either back or forward (this is only an issue in safari, it works fine in firefox and chrome), the return call to flash never completes. I've checked Charles and i get this message,
Failure: Client closed connection before receiving entire response
The response itself is a 200, so the call completes on the server, but flash never gets the response? I don't think this can be a scope issue as the loader is queued and dealt with by a manager class, so even though the current view is destroyed, there's no link between that and the URLLoader itself.
If you try navigate around, the url window will change to etc etc and the back and forword button seem to be working also, if you copy and paste the link, the flash will be smart enough to go to the indivual page alsoMy question is s below1) how do we make the back & forward button to work2) how do we contruct the url to be so dynamic

The trace returns "1" every time I press the button.
Anyways I am using action script 3.0 and I created multiple layers using just one scene. I created a layer with lables on them to mark where I want my buttons to point to and go to. I have the stop (); on the first frame. And I made my buttons mostly interactive with movie symbols and tweens.My first scene I have 2 doors, the user can pick which door to go to and it takes them into a different path.I made the buttons that are clicked to go forward, and then I tried to make an invisible button on the button edge of the scene to go backwards However, the PROBLEM is when I click my button to go backwards I am stuck on the first page and can't move forward.
function gotoOne(evt:Event):void{ gotoAndStop("one")}backbutton1.addEventListener("click",gotoOne);
function gotoFour(evt:Event):void{

I have been working on a tutorial in Flash on the topic of Flash () for two days, and I am just finishing up on a template. I have fixed five bugs, but I cannot think of how to fix this last one. I'd rather actually fix the problem this time, instead of improvising . So, here is what is going on:
I have this thing at the end where you have to enter in the code that I taught the viewer to proceed, then hit the continue button to finish the tutorial. But for some reason, whenever I try to go back with the back arrow, it does, but then I can't go forward with the forward arrow until I reach the first frame that contains actual tutorial ("page" 2). Then it works again. It seems really random, but there is [obviously] a good explanation for it. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that all of the arrows up to the "test" part, excluding the back arrow there, have the exact same instance name. However, "page" 2 is the 2nd time it is used (introduction, then the "page" 2, then 3, 4, 5, and 6, then the test part thing), so it makes less sense that it would work the 2nd time, but not the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth. And I know there's nothing wrong with the code itself:

I have a page which has an intro animation which lasts 314 frames and finishes with a button. When you click the button it takes you to a separate html page with a scrolling photogallery. When I click the 'back' button in the photogallery it takes me back to the first html page with the intro animation.
How do I make sure that when I click the back button it skips the first 314 frames (bearing in mind I am returning from a separate html page)?
creating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).
View 6 RepliesI am doing a slideshow in Flash. With AS 2, I would create frame labels for each slide with a stop action on each one in the timeline and a button underneath the background with the following script:
on (keyPress "<Right>") {
gotoAndPlay("2");
}
The keyboard right arrow (and left arrow) would move the slideshow forward and backward. I had another button for backward.I'm doing one in AS 3 now (dictated to me) and this script isn't working.
I would like to let a MovieClip to move from lets say _x 200 to _x 800. When the mc reach the _x 800 it should return to _ 200 and visa versa. I like to do this with AS instead of with motion tween.

I'm working off the XML photo gallery tute found here: xml_flash_photogallery.htm. My wish is to have the array loop forward and backwards, so by clicking next you will eventually get back to the first value, and if you keep clicking previous you will eventually see the last value in the array.
I found some Scotty code (first line in the nextImage function) that enabled this function with the next button, but I can't figure out how to use it for the previous button.Here's the code:
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};[code]....

View 2 Replieshow to make my "animation" (more of an interactive slideshow) skip forwards and backwards by two frames rather than one.
Each frame's action starts with stop(); and I know how you can implement the Action script to register keystrokes, the problem is I can't get how to jump by 2 rather than 1 frame at a time.
It would be preferable not to have to use gotoAndStop(#); on every 2nd frame as I have over 350+ frames.
