ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Button To Control Movie Clip?
Dec 12, 2004
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 am trying to control a movie clip symbol within a button. The movie clip instance is named within the button and starts on the "Over" section. I want to control it from the button instance - ie. using roll over, roll off etc. Using dot notation I tried :
PHP Code:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.buttonname.movielcipname") {
gotoAndStop (2);
}
}
I can't get it to work, what am I doing wrong?

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
I have basic knowledge of action script and have access to flash cs5 so could work with as2 or 3.

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 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

I am making a web site in flash in which I have multiple movie clips.I have mc_buttonMenu on the main timeline.Inside of mc_buttonMenu, I have 3 buttons that are all button symbols.From the main timeline, I have a movie clip called mc_allPages.In this movie clip, I have a few layers.I have the content layer.This layer controls how my pages display.I have another layer called labels.I labeled frames 1 to 10 as 'home' and layers 11 to 20 as 'contactUs'.I have another layer in mc_allPages called actions.I put a stop(); on frame 10 and frame 20 on this layer.I want to be able to control the movie clip mc_allPages from within the movie clip mc_buttonMenu.I put some action script in various places, but it never worked.I tried this action script:
_root.btn_home.onPress()
{
Gotoandplay("home");[code]...........
I tried placing that code on the main timeline, inside mc_allPages, inside mc_buttonMenu and split up into both buttons appropriately for btn_home and btn_contactUs.Sometimes the animation would stop on frame 10 and sometimes it would just play through to frame 20 and ignore the stop(); I put on frame 10 inside the mc_allPages movie clip.However, whenever I pressed the button ( btn_contactUs ), it never went to the frame labeled "contactUs" in the allPages movie clip.

I am trying to place buttons inside a movie clip to control the timeline of the same movie clip. This does not seam to work like buttons on the main timeline. When I play the movie the cursor does not turn into a hand and the rolloever affects only sort of work. I have read about controling the movie clip with buttons on the main timeline, but I need one of the buttons to change halfway through the movieclip. I want to be able to jump to interior shots while in the exterior section and vice versa. It would seem that button would work the same way inside a movie clip as they do on the main timeline, but that does not appear to be the case. I am using CS3. Action scrip 2.0 is selected, but I could change it to 3.0 if it would make a difference.

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

Ok, in a nuthsell I am looking to write a piece of actionscript using an included PHP file that connects to a mySQL databse. Depending on the result of the database, I want to know if its possible for the actionscript to then control a movie clip.Ok I'm probably not making an awful lot of sense, so I'll basicaly lay out what I want to perform (if it is at all possible).The flash file will essentialy be a map of the world and will list certain ports (i.e. New York Harbour, London Harbour, Sydney Harbour). The flash file then connects to a database to find out if each harbour has a sailing ship present. If a ship is present at the harbour, a movie clip of a ship would be turned on for that particular harbour, if no ship is present the movie clip would remain hidden.

What I'm trying to do is control movieclips that are within a movie clip I have added to the stage.
First I did this:
var navcon:NavigationContainer_mc = new NavigationContainer_mc;
addChild(navcon);
This worked fine. But within this there is a mc called printBtn_mc that I want to target.I tried to declare it as a variable like I did with NavigationContainer_mc, but it doesn't work.

Im trying to make a simple pacman game and im relatively new to as3 but I have found its very similar to java.What I'm trying to do is build a class that will control everything my pacman does, so if I create an instance of the class I would want to be able to set the position of my pacman by doing something like this:[code]Then I would like this code to call the setXPos function to update a "pacman" movie clip inside the Pac class. DocumentMain.as - the class file for pacman.fla, this file will instantiate the Pac.as class and tell it everything it has to do to the movie clip (created in the Pac.as file) on the stage.Pac.as - this is the class that creates the "pacman" movie clip, controls it via input from DocumentMain. as, and shows it on the pacman.fla stage.

I'm trying to make a rollover activated animation ( i think it is 40 frames) and the animation will play, then stop at a predetermined location, when you roll "out" of that button the movie clip should play back to the original(start) position. but if you roll over another button, it will move to position... and react the same with each buttons.I uploaded a fla for a more comprhensive explanation, considering i've been working for the past 15 hours, my englis idn't whud id wons wus.i've tried a few different ways to imitate this, but each has made me mad and i have to have a working demo by friday, otherwise i'd take my time and try a few more methods but i still have the rest of the damn thing to put together, tons of animations.

I have a movie clip that animates across a set of labels that are based on a 24hour day. The hours are separated into blocks and the basic idea is to mimic a pda style daily calendar based on the current hour. The day starts at 6am and ends at 9pm.
This is the code i have but doesnt seem to be working correctly, im not sure i have it right here but im thinking the "AM, PM" thing is messing it up...
var myCalate = new Date();
var myMinutes:Number = myCal.getMinutes()
var myHours:Number = myCal.getHours()
