ActionScript 2.0 :: Jump To Sub-categories In Loaded .swf?
Mar 14, 2003
I was wondering if there is a way to jump to a specific frame name when loading a new .swf file? For example, I have my Main.swf which holds the navigation. Then I created 5 other .swfs to hold the content.Depending what button is pushed, I will load the correct movie into a placeholder MC on the main screen.However, I want to jump to a specific point within the new movie, can I do that? I am loading by levels in which I am using the level 0 each time so the new page takes over and the previous page is not transparent seeing through. So, on the buttons, I am using the basic:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("content1.swf", 0);
}[code]....
I tried that, but could not get it to work. Also, since I am loading by level, does that sort of over ride my loading into placehold or what is the major difference?
How would I be able to jump to cue points of an externally loaded flv? I have a video flv playing as the background and I want to be able to jump to cue points of the video on mouse click. Is this possible or should I go a different route?
Also how would I be able to jump to different frame when video ends?
when a external swf file gets loaded into main swf file, i need to detect while playing external file reach to end so that i can unload that file and move to another frame on root of main file. I am not getting how to identify external swf play reach to end so that i can unload swf and jump to root specific frame of main swf.
I am brand new to scripting in Flash, and was hoping I could get some help on a question. I have an animation that is 300 frames long. The first 100 frames are an animated 'ad' (for lack of a better term), the second 100 frames are a different ad, and the third 100 frames are the last ad. This can be viewed straight from beginning to end (and is intended to loop if no action is taken), but I would also like to add some functionality to the animation, so that people can jump forward to the next ad, or back to the previous ad (hitting back from the first ad would take them to the third ad, and vice versa.)
[Code]...
This does not turn up any errors when I test the movie, but the functionality does not work. Am I anywhere near a working script, or am I attempting this in a completely wrong way?
I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?
I found a multiple drag to a single drop example here on the forums that works wonderful for the dragging and dropping part of my project. I am now trying to add in a sort of category detection. I have 45 movieclips located on the stage. They get set up with a loop, giving them a drag/drop functionality. The movieclips belong to one of 7 categories. The user can drag only 5 movieclips to a designated area. Once the 5 have been selected, I need to then figure out which category had the most selected. What would be the best way to set this up? Here is what I'm working with so far
I am a designer trying to modify some ActionScript for a web project. When defining the variables, I would like for some of them to have multiple parameters/categories[code]...
I'm trying to populate a sub menu with categories from an xml file. There are many items each with different categories but some with the same, what im trying to do is get all the categories in the menu but not duplicate them.
I still have problem understanding how the collision category works. I'm only able to make it work by experimenting which is not good.
[Code]...
this works the way I wanted but only because I experimented around and found the right values (or at least values that work). I would prefer to know how the whole system works
are there any good examples on how to create a menu which gets the menu points from an external source? i'm not a native english speaker - hope you understand what i mean.preferably with submenu points... (drop down or hierarchial)
I have created an xml navigation and there are some differen categories in it.But now I want that the button will have a color that is his categorie.I used this code:
Code: if( menuItem[i].attributes.cat == "Vector work"){ var myColor:Color = new Color(); this.myColor.setRGB(0xff0000); } But that won't do nothing.

I have xml video player. In the xml playlists i can different categories. Which video category i want to play i chose that from the drop down menu. Is there a way to somehow get the code so instead of dropdown menu in playlist for the playlist categories i would like to have two separate buttons for categories insted of drop down menu?
I have an xml that's looks like this: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <pics><category name="categoria1"> <image NAME="1" PATH="images/1.jpg" DESCRIPTION="SALAM"/> <image NAME="2" PATH="images/2.jpg" DESCRIPTION="SALAM2"/> <image NAME="9" PATH="images/3.jpg" DESCRIPTION="SALAM3"/> [Code] .....
As you can see i have categories and inside the categories I have the pictures. What I want to do is every category to be displayed with a lower y position than the previous category. And in every category the picture to be arrange in the way presented in the picture below (x position for images = 0, the picture is just to make an idea).[URL]
My as3 code looks like this: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var _total:int = 0; var _categories:XMLList = null; var _subCategories:XMLList = null; [Code] .....
I've been working on Todd's Image grid viewer that can be seen here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16158&p=82039
I wanted to add some category buttons so far its going well with the new xml.
Only I can't figure out the switch between the category button.
When i click on cat 1 Btn everything loads fine then when i click on cat btn 2 instead of reloading and "throwing" cat1 content away cat 2 content loads behind cat1 content...I hope that made sense.....
I have added the files, it's basically the same just a different XML and some tweaking on the XML load function. I didn't add the images since the file was to big, you can get the images from Todd's post. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16158&p=82039
Basically i want to have Album categories the same way the thumbnails work so their is a mask limiting 4 categories on screen and when you click < or > arrows next to the categories it shows the next 4 categories that you would be able to choose from.
Then I would want it to load whatever category you selected into the thumbnails and the larger pic.
Does anyone know how to do this ? Or if their is another tutorial that would show me how to add categories into something like a gallery with thumbnails?
Apologies for being stupid and the poor grammar I've been searching everywhere to find out how i can add in some categories and still have it linked to the thumbnail scroller and larger images, but i haven't found any luck at all I just want it so you could add in as many thumbs and categories as you wanted and have those masked and scrollable rather then a dropdown.
I paid for some silly pdfs to explain it better to me but they did it in a way that I didn't like and turned out just to be a waste of money. Learnt my lesson and signed up here to ask the pros! I want to create something that can be updated from just an xml file.
I've made a gallery slideshow before but wasn't as intuitive looking back at it now and I want to start fresh on this new project. I would like to convert a jQuery lightbox style gallery into a flash XML based AS3 image gallery with categories. I don't want to code the FLA, I want separate AS files.
This is a school project for my website. I would use jQuery and I have more experience with it but this project needs a flash component. I'm just not sure where to start and looking for some advice on how and where I could find resources. I want it to be minimal as I can make it;
- 8 thumbnails to a "page/section" with more flowed into page 2 or 3 etc. (or a srcoller)
- a few buttons for categories
- images fading in full size with a description when hovered over and a close button
- preloader (simple bar)
Esentially something like this > http:[url].........works which is using http:[url].... for the thumbnails. That might be ambitious but I'd suffice with a simple fade effect.I've downloaded some galleries out there but most of the code is messy or outdated.http:[url]... this is alright, but all the code is done in the FLA. I might break it into AS files but it depends.
I'm using a combination of the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash (with thumbnails and a simple PHP gallery script called Gallery Thingie. So far,I've got the XML file's image data working with the Flash movie. However, Gallery Thingie also has a feature allowing the creation (and deletion) of image categories. How can I use this feature with the flash gallery? So far I've added some buttons that would switch between categories, but they don't do much yet since I'm not sure how to say "when this category variable is present, display only thumbnails with that variable." Download the flash file (and others) from the link below.

I have a movie clip with a button, clicking on it goes to another scene. When in the other scene, i want to be able to click another button and go back to the original scene and have the movie clip be at the frame where I left it, or any other that I specify.
I have imported an 8 minute long video in flash. This video has 5 parts say part1, part2.... I have created 5 buttons on top of video that should by clicking, take the user to a particular time in video..... I dont know the code I should use on these buttons..... Also when no button is clicked the whole video will play in its entirety What i learn from some tutorials on net is that i need to use cue points.... while importing the video I have created 5 cue points in time... they are all labeled.
I have a memory game here. And each time a card is removed from the gameboard I have "cardCount -2", when this cardCount gets to zero, I want the program to jump to the next frame which is like a "game over" page. I've tried using gotoAndStop(); as well as nextFrame(); but it doesn't seem to be working![code]...
I am having a problem with a jump code. The problem I am having is when space bar isDown the jump code works but when space bar is release my object is left up in the air. How can I get the object to come back down.
