I am a novice actionscripter having trouble linking my combo box to the relevent scenes in the same movie, I am using Flash 6 and the script I am using is;
[Code]....
I need a combo box for my flash site but i need it to load the page in the same frame like any other flash site
i have been using
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("locations.swf");
}
for my buttons off the kirupa tutorials but this doesnt work and i am using the component off mx ui component set
Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe"); }"
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu"); }"
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
I am relatively new to Flash development. I have a scene that contains 3 buttons that are movie clips. I am trying to link each button to a seperate scene but no matter what script i use the buttons do not click through to the new scene.
Each scene consists of 20 frames that need to play when each button is clicked on, so rather than using gotoandstop i am trying to use gotoandplay to a specific frame within each of these scenes.
whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!
View 1 Repliesi have buttons inside of my movieclip that link to the different scenes. on the buttons i have the code
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("bio");
}
"bio" is the frame name of the first frame in the second scene. it works correctly when i click on it the first time. but if i click on that button again in the second scene, it goes to the third scene. and if i click on it again, it goes again to the second scene. also, when i click the button the second time and it goes to what would be a scene ahead of where it is supposed to be, when i click on the button that should bring it to the scene it is currently on, it goes to the next scene when it is supposed to be on the same scene.
I want to make something like this:
[URL]
The movie clip containing the photo resizes based on the size of the browser window, and the other two movie clips are positioned based on the outside edges.
I have many buttons in a few movie files, i need to select a few of these buttons and store them in an array so i use....
var twocolourbuttons:Array = ["mybutton1", "mybutton23", "mybutton34"];
I then need to show a movie file if the button that has been clicked on is in the array. so something like...
if e.target.name is in the array show the movie twocolor.visible = true;
i then need to go to a certain frame of the movie, depending upon where the button is found in the array. So if the button is at position three of the array, i need to jump to keyframe 3 of my movie.
I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I made a movie that has two scenes. It is an intro for a website. I want Scene 1 to play through once, stop for a few seconds, and then transition into Scene 2. Scene 1 is like a cute little "loading" sequence that takes only about 2 seconds to run. I would like Scene 1 to then make a slow-er, smooth transition into Scene 2. I would then like the movie to stay on Scene 2 and continue looping only Scene 2 until the user presses the "Click to Enter" button.
View 1 RepliesI have a combo box called "jcolor1". I have a Movie Clip called "main". In my combobox I have set all of the color names in the labels section, and all of their hex values in the values section. I am trying to be able to change the color of the movie clip using actionsctipt.My actionscript I have (attached to the combobox)
on (change) {
myColor = new Color(main);
myColor.setRGB(jcolor1);
}
Its not working, I think the link between the Movie Clip and the combobox is not right, maybe I am not declaring the variable correctly.I want the combo box to reference the hex value I put into the data section in the component inspector and change "main" to that color.
If i have created an animation in 'scene 1' on flas, and i really want this animation to be in a movie clip, is there any way i can transport the contents of scene 1 to a movie clip held within scene 1? (the animation only has one layer)
View 1 Repliesin the end of a frame of a movie clip, can i have some kind of action script that makes that movie clip stop, and then play a frame in a scene?
this is what i have-
stop;
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 60)
it works, but instead of going to frame 60 of scene 2, it just goes to frame 60 of the movie clip that's still in scene 1.
I added the snow effect to one of my movies, it plays from the time you add the action script, to the end of the movie. I only want it to play in certain scenes, is there any way to do that? [URL]
View 11 RepliesI'm writing a simple game with Flash and I need to change the scene from inside a movie clip instance. I know how to change scenes with a button, but I can't seem to get the scene to change when certain criteria are met. For example inside a movie clip object I have this:
if(_root.score > 100)
_root.gotoAndPlay("Congrats", 1)
but the scene doesn't change.
However, I have a main movie and in there I open the multiple scenes. If I use the preloader alone with the scenes it works, but when I want to load the preloader that should open the scenes inside the main movie it doesn't do anything.
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("magazine.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
[Code] .....
In the old situation I use a button goto frame - and on the frame there is actionscript that says:
stop();
loadMovie("magazine.swf", 'placeholder');
have changed that to
stop();
loadMovie("preloader.swf", 'placeholder');
I have multiple scenes. In each scene I load lot of movie clips.I move from one scene to another scene and may come back to the already visited scene.
1. From one scene if I move to some other scene will it flush or unload the scene with the movie clips or they will be still floating in the memory? If it is going to be in the memory with the loaded movies how can I unload them when I move from Scene to Scene?
2. Can I reuse a loaded movie in one scene, in another scene? Basically can I share the same loaded movie in multiple scenes?
I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.I'm using Flash CS4.

I've got this code which works out which day it is and shows a file based on that info. But when the day changes the file doesn't. I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to look at this for me. I just need to set up something to listen out for the day and make the change.

I created a really simple preloader, just something for people to look at while the external swf loads. The preloader works fine, but when it reaches 100 it doesn't kick into the external swf, which i thought i called, but I don't know why it isn't work. i tried to hard code the file name, because i can never get relavent file paths to work and it didn't work either.

Im sure that i did this a long way but i just got Flash CS4 like 2 days ago so w/e. Anyway could someone tell me how to link out of the page AFTER everything has faded out. how to/link me to how to have a mouse over effect on the enter button. Just something like having it increase in size.
I want my movie to go to a specific location on the basis of whether or not a variable is attached to the swf reference. Kind of trying to control it from the outside...so I've written this in my embed code:
movie.swf?reset=1
and then this AS on the first frame of my movie:
if (reset=1) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}
I was wandering if it is possible to link from a frame inside "movie clip A" to a frame inside "movie clip B"? Both movie clips are on the main timeline.
If you know how to do this, or don't know how to do it but know that it is possible, let me know.
How can I make a .swf with a movie clip that reacts to the size of the browser like this one:
[URL]
The movie clips are all positioned and sized relevant to the size of the browser instead of positioned within the document.
