ActionScript 2.0 :: Going Backward And Forward In Timeline?
Mar 16, 2009
I have an animation of a rotating 3d object, and I'm playing it backward and forward through simple nextFrame() and prevFrame() actions inside an onEnterFrame event.Everything seems to work, the only technical problem is that if I go backward, the animation is not as smooth as if I went forward. I understand that a prevFrame action is 'less natural' than a nextFrame.. but does anyone know how I could fix it?

Im trying to produce my online portfolio but for that i need to play movieclips backward and forward to various frame numbers.I found a very good script (as2) and it works great in the main timeline but inside a mc it doesnt work at all. this is the script
1. Call to Action Create an actionscript layer that extends the full length of your movie. In that layer, include the following actionscript:
function Movement() {
if (_root._currentframe > _root.mytarget){
prevFrame();
[code]....
Using the code above, the movie will play either backwards or forwards to the desired destination.As i said before this script is great but it doesnt work inside an mc.

Background: I have a slider / scrubber that works well and controls the timeline of a movieclip both forward and backward.Lets say I have a movieclip of a lightbulb onstage that starts in a turned off state. When the movieclip plays through normally I have frame based actionscript to toggle a lightbulb movieclip to _on.

I beleive there's an Action Script or possibly an attached Javascript (maybe) that would allow an FLV video to 1st stream forward and then play backwards and repeat this proccess over and over to simulate an endless trend. The perfect example can be simply viewed here url...Their video is a short 13 sec clip of the pup licking the screen, but they managed to reverse it when it reaches the end.

I am trying to create a small movie. Now I want to create an effect that once the mouse is in the right half of the movie - then movie should play forward. When the cursor moves to the left half of the movie then movie should play backwards. I have tried following some examples from online but I am kinda lost
This is what I have done so far:
- Create the animation named it "mc" of type Movie Clip
- Put it in the "main scene"
- The (first) keyframe at "main scene" has action "stop();"
- <<now i am lost >>
Note: Eventually the right and left part of the movie will link to different webpage.

how 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.

well what i am trying to do is move between 2 text boxes through a motion tween. but thats not going to work because you can't tween backwards. so what would be the best thing to do?
this has probably been posted before but i have no idea where it is. i tried the sliding menu tute but that didn't work.

I simply want to move a video forward and backword when it is already playing, but the seek method is not working properly. I can't figure out, where the problem is.I have two buttons (pluz_btn and minus_btn). Plus button is used to move half second forward and Minus button is used to go back half seconds.The plus button is working but it is showing about is moving the video to about 3 seconds.The minus button should move video backword. But it is also moving it forward.[code]......

streamCount += 1;
streamTime_txt.text = streamCount; };
minus_btn.onRelease = function() {
first_ns.seek(first_ns.time-.5);
streamCount -= 1;
streamTime_txt.text = streamCount; };

I would like to control the embedded video by advancing the playhead forward and /or backward by increments > 1 frame. I have tried:
on (press) {
stop();
for(var j = 0; j < 4; j++)
nextFrame();
}
- and -
on (press) {
stop();
mc.gotoAndStop(mc._currentframe + 4);
} (mc = movie clip)
I enabled Simple Buttons and clicked on the buttons containing the AS; they are not functioning. Although, the play, stop, goto first and last frame buttons work. I am perplexed. I have tried creating a new .fla file with a different .wmv, and the failure to function persists.

I have created a slider with the following code:
stop();
//DRAGGER1 CODE
dragger1_mc.onPress = function() {
//constrain dragger to line width
[Code]....
What code would I add to have a seperate movieclip play frame by frame based on where my slider is. Ex: My slider is on the far left, seperate movieclip is at end of its timeline. If I move the slider quickly back to the beginning the movieclip plays backwards quickly to its beginning and stops.

I've got these 3 separate animations moving forward and backward based on simple rollover interaction. It all works and all is well with the world, but I know this can be done in a more efficient manner. Instead of duplicating all the functions with different numbered versions of their name, how can I group this stuff together and call it once? Just curious as I'd like to be more efficient with things like this moving forward.
ActionScript Code:
//CLIP ONE CONTROL
function loopback(event:Event):void {
this.celebration_mc.prevFrame();
this.light_mc.prevFrame();
} function backwards() {
[Code] .....

I am trying to work with this flash tutorial -[URL] So far it draws with a simple rounded line. I have been extending this application by making the drawing board bigger and other small things. I now want to be able to choose the line style. Currently it is rounded and I want to choose and draw with other shapes - square, forward slash (/), backward slash (). Is this possible? If so, could you explain how I could go about it?

simple one this, or so i thought! basically, i want a mc to play from start to finish (11 frames) upon rollover and upon rollout i want it to play backwards to the first frame. Accurately.
ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
if (activ.currentFrame <= 11)
{
[Code]....
Currently i JUST goes to the next frame. So i need something like currentFrame +1 or something?

What I need its a way to control my timeline forward and rewind. To make it easy to explain I will make a example: Imagine that you have a movie (cars crossing a street - with trucks and buses too). Sometimes there is just cars on the street, sometimes just trucks. I should paste this movie into my timeline(like image sequence), in the background of my application. In other layer will be informations, in this example, about trucks and cars. Till this point ok. But I need to make the movie go to the frame that I choose to be the image of the movie that only have cars.
Okay ... this is in frame 15 of the movie. Then I click a button and go to show trucks info. I click and go to frame 30... at this point ok too. But now I click again to see about cars. Its in frame 15 and I don't want to "JUMP" (like gotoandstop)... I want the movie rewinds (in the speed that it plays) till I get frame 15. How do I control the timeline like this? (There will be at least 6 points in this movie that i want to stop by. And this movie begins stopped.)

I have a straight forward frame-by-frame animation with play and stop buttons. I want to create a fast forward button that will play (for example) every third frame until it is clicked again. Or, perhaps, until the stop button is clicked. This seems a simple task, fast forwarding FLVs, etc.

I have slider that sits on my root timeline and controls the timeline of a movieclip sitting on it. The user can drag the scrubber controls to move the movie around as it is playing, and it progresses along the bar on its own. However, the issue I am having is that when the user drags the bar (in either direction) the actions that are on the frames that they scrub past never happen. Is there a way to be sure that if the user scrubs forward along the timeline, that these actions happen?
Also, say they get to the end and rewind back to the beginning, is there a way to reset the actions so that they can see everything again? and I hope this made sense. EDIT: Anyone? Also, I forgot to mention: this is in AS2.

I have a time line of 500 points. On a timeline that wraps around how do I find if the shortest distance between two points is to go forward or backward? Example,I'm on frame 30, the target frame is 100 and the total frames are 500. I know that going it will take 70 frames to get to 100 going forward and 430 to go in reverse but I don't know the codes to figure this out. I'm using ActionScript but I think I would understand the codes if it were written in other professional languages like JavaScript.

Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

This is en examle of what i want to make in a.s.: I have mc on stage, it has 20 frames, in frame 1 there is circle in left corner of stage, in 20th frame circle is on the opposite side of frame and there is motion tween between them. There is stop() script in the first and last frame. Now if i put on mc
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
it works ok but on rollOut mc rapidly jumps to frame 1, is it possible to make it play backward on rollOut and stop at frame 1.

I recently created a slide show that works fine on my desktop, works great from the test server when viewed through the flash produced HTML but once the swf is uploaded via a content management system we have problems. Further investigation showed that the CMS is set up for a few versions back so I saved backward which dropped my actionScript back to 1.0 and 2.0. I totally re-wrote the actions script and again, everything works great on my box but the same issues are showing up. Is versioning backward in this manner the problem.
