I'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.
[Code]...
I hit enter,it only plays next frame and then goes back to the frame where it stopped. What I've tried was something like:
stop();
Key.addListener(Key.ENTER)
if (Key.isDown.ENTER){
play();
};
I want it to play all the way to the end,not just go back.
I built a button in one of the movie clips in my project,
when I release this button, it goes to the 41st frame of the main timeline and continue to play until the frame 70 which has got a stop; command. till here everything's just OK. But I want this button to do something more though I don't know whether it's possible or not.
I want this button to go and play the frame number 41 in the main timeline, and then after it stopped at the frame 70 , then jump to frame 73.
I'm new to flash, knowing only a couple of commands such as stop(); and gotoAndPlay.
I'm creating a UI menu for the beginning of a flash project. On a few layers, I have objects and buttons while the "stop();" command is applied to the frame to keep them on the screen as a Title screen or menu-like idea.
My problem is that I would like a animation, or a movie clip, or something that is looping in the background for a more detailed menu screen.. However, I can't figure out how to run the animation while the current frame is stopped.
I'm making a slots... but i have a prob. If a stop my movie, I can't know on which frame my movie is stopped. Is there a syntax-code to give me the number of the frame a that moment?
View 5 Repliesif i press right/left, he goes to the movement frame. i want him to go to the stopped frame when no key is down, but the frame shows him facing right.how can i make it 'remember' his direction?
View 1 RepliesI'm tryin to create a button that sort of "rewinds" but it doesn't have to show the rewind- all i want it to do is jump back to the previous frame with a stop action on it. So kind of like a "back" or "previous" button.It's been a while since I have programmed a lot and I forget everything
View 9 RepliesIn this bit of code is there anyway to adjust the gotoAndPlay Command to play from frame 114 to frame 200. Are there any commands that will do this. I want it to play from frame 114 to frame 200 when a button is pressed.

I'm having trouble with something that should be incredibly basic, yet i have no idea how to solve my problem.
[Code]...
it shows x as being 3 when you hit the button but it reverts back right away, so it looks like gotoAndPlay(2) is still playing frame

I am making a website with a flash menu. I want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame (frame A) when the cursor is on a button. When you roll the cursor off of the button I want it to gotoAndPlay a different frame (frame B). That part was easy enough. But here is the problem. If you click on the button I want it to continue playing frame A even when you roll off.
View 3 RepliesBasically I'm making a demonstration of a puzzle for class.
Each MovieClip is a bit of the puzzle, and users can move forward a frame or back a frame using the keyboard using the on(keyPress) function.
When the puzzle is complete, I want text to appear (or another MovieClip, ideally) letting the user know they've completed it.
So I'd want the text to appear when the following conditions are fulfilled:
round_mc is at frame 53
square_mc is at frame 2
triangle_mc is at frame 19
rectangle_mc is at frame 80
I have two different movieclips on my stage, one with a number of buttons and one with a moving object that I want to control with my buttons. The reason for having the buttons in their own movieclip is that I want to be able to move them as well. Let's say I have an object in "myMovieClip" that moves between three different positions when I press three different buttons, the buttons might say "up", "left" and "right".
[Code]....
How do I get my movements to start where it last stoped? If my object starts out at the "Up"-position and I press "Left", I want it to move from Up to Left and if I then press "Right" I want it to move from Left to Right. If my object is at Left and I press Left I want it to stay where it is.
I am really confused about this issue ...
In the first Frame i wrote the following code:
stop();
var currentInterInfo:IntersectionInfo = null;
var currentInter:Intersection;
gotoAndPlay("Frame3");
[Code]....
When I run it, i get "Frame 2" in the output although i should get "Frame 3" as a result ... and When I debug, i get "Frame 3" ...
wondering if this is possible. I have a button and want it to play from let's say frame 10 to frame 15I'm starting with this:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this.gotoAndPlay(10);
[code].......
I currently have 3 major sections in my Flash file, and need to be able to play the frames backwards, within each segment, if the user so chooses to click the back button.Let's say it's on Frame 250 (or any other spot on the respective timeline for each section) and the user clicks the back button, I want to be able to "gotoAnyPlay" Frame 225 to Frame 220.So, jump from current Frame 250, start playing on Frame 225, play to 220, and then stop.

View 3 RepliesI have two movieclips on the stage mc1 and mc2,the navigation for mc2 and mc1 is in mc1 as as3 and MovieClips suddenly now that I've added some tabs into mc2 (new layer, no instance names yet) the navigation code in mc1 has stopped working,if I change the initial stop command to a later frame in mc1 I can navigate back to the first frame and then to one other place in the menu but after moving away from the first frame I can't seem to get any of the buttons to work, its only if the stop command is on a later page that those buttons will workon the main timeline i'm using;
ActionScript Code:
stop();
mc1.stop();
[code].....
hen you click on a button within my swf it loads an external swf into an MC that sits on top of the 1st swf, which continues to play underneath.Within swf2 I have lots of pages that you can navigate to, which works fine on its own, but not when I try to play it through swf1.When I click on any of the navigation buttons they don't work.I've tried making an MC within swf2, putting all the pages in there and on the navigation buttons doing:
on(release){
_root.swf2MC.gotoAndPlay("frame");
}

I've got a simple button that when clicked needs to go to a particular frame and stop when it hits the stop(); however when I test it I get a type error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PostCard_fla::MainTimeline/frame25()
I need to be able to tell it what frames to go to manually so the user can jump around the time line using short animated transitions between pages (set up like a web page) in AC2.0 this was easy, but its different in AC3 and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is my code:
stop();
btn_flip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(28);
};
I am using Flash CS3 with AS2 to write code that will fade images in and out, looping from the last frame back to frame 20. Loading the images with XML is working, as is the fading in and out. Unfortunately, when it reaches frame 390 it loops back to frame 1 instead of frame 20.In frame 390 I tried using gotoAndPlay(20) to code the loop. Then I tried using _root.gotoAndPlay(20); but this did not work either. I am not sure why it is playing frame 1 instead of 20.
View 3 RepliesQuick way to write the following code please (i know it's simple - i just don't know how)
if (images.currentFrame == 24 || images.currentFrame == 25 || images.currentFrame == 26|| images.currentFrame == 27|| images.currentFrame == 28|| images.currentFrame == 29)
{[code]....
basically; if the MC frame number is between 24 and 29 (greater than 24 but less than 29) i want it to gotoandplay from a different frame.
I have a flash file that the action scripts doesn�t appear to work. It is regarding a form turned into a movie clip. I copied the action script and format from a tutorial from this web site (Kirupa Flash_php_email.fla). It�s a fairly easy tutorial, but I can�t get it to work. Essentially, after the user fills out the name, email, and message fields, he clicks on the send button. I�m trying to copy the same concept into my fla file. The send button loads the variables and sends an email out to the user. I�ve been able to get that portion to work with the email.php file. It will return an email to the user, but the movie just seems to pause and not advance to the next frame. The data the user inputs remains on the screen. I�m not sure if a stop command is preventing it from moving to the next frame or not. What I can�t get the done is to go to the next frame where the user is told �Thank You� and clicks on the Continue button.
I have an action script layer and on frame 118 it has the stop(); command I have a layer called �txt�. On frame 118, all the input text fields named, name, email, and message have been grouped together then converted to a movie clip called form. On that same layer, on frame 119 I have labled those group of frames �ThankYou�, which also displays the Thank You and a Continue button.
Here is the actionscript on frame 118 for the movie clip �form�
[original script from tutorial]
onClipEvent(data){
//show the welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
}

I have a created a menu and the pages are on a seperate swf file which is to be loaded onto the top of.
firstly i used this code but it still only went to frame 1 of the laoded movie:
on (release) {
loadMovie("a2.swf", 1);
_level1.gotoAndStop(15);
}
then i found this code. But i cant get it to work correctly. does it go on frame one of the movie or on the button instance?

I've got a timeline and four buttons which each gotoandplay from the first frame on the same timeline. But I want each button to Stop() at different frames on the same timeline. So is it possible to do a GotoAndPlay ... And Stop function on a button in flash?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a Play Again button on my game. When the game finishes a menu comes up on the screen with a play again button. The menu is created using a class and the button event is created and handled in the actionscript in the current frame. The button event handler makes a call to gotoAndPlay(currentFrame, "scene").
Whenever the button is pressed however it takes me to the next frame, for example if the current frame is 3 it will show frame 4. Usually the button is removed from the stage when the button is clicked but if i disable that and the button remains, you can click on it again and it it will take u to the correct scene, and again will take you to the next scene and back again and so on..
My timer counts down from 60 to zero. I want my movie to go to the next frame at zero count. How would I make a condition to go from frame 1-2? I need to find the right operator and values, but I get lost in the strings.
What I am trying
If (something is <> == true false);
gotoAndPlay(2);
stop();
//
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 300);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
[Code] ....
I'm making several experiments like this to understand conditionals. I need to build objects that function similar to preloaders.
Im going to make a page in flash as3, and now I have build the most of it. I will now load an external swf into the main swf, to save people for too must waiting time... my issue with normal words: I want to have a number of buttons. When you click on button 1 the first external swf load with a fade animation. Now when I would see whats behind button 2, is should animate the first swf out and remove it from the stage, to save wating time.... and the same should happend if i have 5 menu buttons...
