What I would like to do is, once all the fish have been clicked on, and the points all added up, and the stage is empty, is for the movie to go the next frame, where it will display the winner etc. So, how would I tell my movie to go to nextFrame(); once all the movieclip instances have been unloaded.
View 2 RepliesI have a large project built in as3. Part of its main functionality is to load and unload various as2 swfs. The problem is that the memory ins't free up once they are unloaded.
I have access to the as2 swfs code base and destroyed all objects, stopped and killed timers, listeners, removed from stage, destroyed all the MovieClip.protoypes that were created. They look to be clean as far as the AS2 debugger show no remnants of the object after the destroy function is run. In AS3 i've closed the local connection, cleaned all references/listeners to the AVM1Movie and ran Loader.unloadAndStop(). The trace out in flex says the swf was unloaded but looking at windows task manager the memory usage never drops to when it was before the as2 swf was loaded. Each as2 swf can take up to 80 megs each time it's run so memory gets eaten up fast and loading and unloading a few as2 files.
At this point if the AS2 swfs are unloaded the only thing that I can assume that could be left is MovieClip.prototype and/or _global, _root variables add during the AS2's run time. But i've gone through those and can't find anything else that might be sticking. Has anyone ever seen problems before with the AVM1 machine not freeing up its memory?
I'm having a problem, apparently not very hard to solve, but... I'm creating a file with some animations and a few stops on the timeline; on each stop I want to load a swf... The idea is to make the main timeline "wait" for the swf to stop when it arrives to the las frame and then, make it to unload and continue playing until the next stop...This is an application to work local (not on the web).So, I want the swf to unload without any click; just by itself.
View 9 Repliesis there an:
If unloadMovieNum("23") == true ?
Would that work or is the anything equivenlent to checking to see if a movie is being unloaded?
When "unloadMovie" is invoked, how do you test to ensure the movie unloaded??

View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that has three main buttons on top. When a button is clicked the timeline moves to a that frame (designated with a label) that loads in a particular external SWF corresponding with the button. Those movies are loaded into the same empty movieclip called "presentation"using:loadMovie("splash.swf","presentation"); In one of the external loaded SWF's there is a tween animation (on first frame using TweenLite), that takes place upon loading the SWF. The issue is that when I click a button and go to another frame (which loads another SWF) mid-way through that animation, and come back to that same page with the animation. The animations starts mid-way as if it was running in the back, such as fading in things that shouldn't be faded in yet, etc..? Any clue as to why? EDIT: Maybe this is the cause? The animation code in the first frame of the loaded SWF:
//Animate the bouquet
var bFadeIn:Tween = new Tween(bouquet,"_alpha",Back.easeInOut,0,100,1,true); //106.95
bFadeIn.onMotionFinished = function() {

I have a scene with buttons that call upon outside movies to be loaded. But when I click a button to go to a new frame, the outside movies on still being seen on top. Right now my button Action is:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(16);
}
What should it say to unload all movies then go the 16?
i wanna be able to load both variables from an external .txt file, and a external .swf file at the same time. now the problem is i need the .swf to only open if the movie is at frame 15. here is my current code:
on (press) {
loadVariablesNum ("test.txt", 0);
}[code].....
I am making a movie with frame lables and parent movies.So there is the maintimeline and a movie on each sucessvive frame, relating all relevant aniamtions/transitions from button to button.
Using this script
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("P_CommCent");
}
I have been able to do exaxtly what I want, jump from "P" to "CommCent" essentially, where each is a movie on the main timeline, the "P_CommCent" signifies the specic transtion. So my problem is... that this worked for all movies, now I want to jump from "Green" to "CommCent", using "Green_CommCent" however now it is not working.
Is it possible to load in a movie to a specific frame? I am currently loading a movie from a button with:
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(1);
loadMovienum("Is.swf",0);
}
This works perfect, but I'd like to add usability by directing the button to a specific frame within that new movie. I've tried:
_level0.gotoAndPlay(10);
After loadMovienum in the previous code but it doesn't do anything different. The movie always starts up on frame 1. In the end I'd like to have multiple buttons serving as navigation buttons specifying different frames of the new movie.

I have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
[Code]....
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".
that is my very strange problem.I have the following setup:A loader swf (responsible for the loading bar) loads a controller swf. The progress bar gets filled up to 50% (100% of that swf are 50% of the whole process).When the controller swf is loaded, it is added to the stage.Then, the controller swf starts loading other swfs (for buttons, and other program related stuff).The progress of this loading is given the loader swf and make up the other 50%.When the progress reaches 100%, the loader swf hides and the controller swf is displayed.

Is there a way to automatically unload movies when a new movie is loaded? eg: 5 buttons, 5 bit of art. At the moment they overlap instead of unloading before the new one loads.
View 4 Repliesinto my main movie i want to load one swf with the navigation into one empty movie clip, in another empty movie clip load the different "pages", how do i talk between the 2 swf files loaded into my main movie, in other words, how do i make the "about" button load the "about" page, and when the different swf files load for each "page" i want each one to load on top of the current one, not to replace it.

I have a website, when you click a menu item it fades the current page out, and the selected one in. No problems with that, it all works well.
The only problem is, within those attached movies, all the actionscript doesnt work. I have, for example, a research page, which have 4 buttons, each of which attach a movieclip to and empty movieclip... Just a simple attachMovie function, but it doesnt work. If copy the research movieclip into a seperate flash file, everything works and the movies are attached fine, but in the website .fla, after the research page is loaded itself, none of the movies attach properly.
Are there any known issues with attaching movies within an attached movie?

This movie is places in the center of an html page in the portfolio section of my site. gallery_menu.swf this is the navigation menu that I am loading onto the 'stage'. Currently it loads insode of a container 'menuload'. This is the code that I'm using to load it.

Each swf loads just fine, but the audio from the previously loaded swf start playing again, so there's a layered audio mishmash.
it possible to set the frame rate of an externally loaded movie to a different frame rate than the movie it is embedded within. I basically have a flash site that loads flash movies using loadMovie command, however, the frame is lost within these movies and simply adopts the main site frame rate.
View 2 RepliesI have an intro.swf file that is basically a movie with sound that is exported for actionscript but not exported in the first frame. I just stuck it in a movie on my timeline and it works great and the preloader works because it doesn't load the sound before the preloader. I use :
musicSound = new Sound();
musicSound.attachSound("music");
musicSound.start();
to play the sound in intro.swf.
However, now this intro.swf gets loaded into an index.swf and everything works fine and the sound plays as long as I have the sound included in BOTH the intro.swf and the index.swf and the sound is exported on the first frame in the index.swf. I was hoping I could remove the sound entirely from my index.swf since it already loads into the intro but so far
I have been having trouble creating a movie clip with a reverse rollover effect within a movie which has a reverse rollover effect. that sounds confusing
In essence I wish to create a panel that rolls out on rollover and rolls back in reverse when the you rollout. I have done this using this script

However I wish to make movies within this movie that have the same effect on them. But when I create another movie or button within this movie it is not registering on rollover. I guess because the script on the main movie overrides it?
I'm building an entirely flash based website using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2. I'm using external movies for the various pages, and putting buttons that control these movies in the main movie file. Normally, I'd simply put the script to control the buttons on the main movie file, not the external ones, but because there's more than two different pages and I'm fading each external clip in and out, I'm wondering if possible to put the script, for the buttons on the main movie, on the external movies.
View 15 Repliesi want to know weather it is possible to control the music in a base movie when different movies load into it using load movie. it can done manually by using a volume slider. but is there any way to controll it using action script??Suppose "start.swf" is a base movie with a music (xyz.mp3, event sound, 50 loops) in which different movies load in defferent levels. I want to controll the sound volumes differently when each movie loads & plays.
like when "one.swf" loads the volume = 50,
"two.swf" loads the volume = 0
I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
