ActionScript 2.0 :: Linking Swf Files To Play In One Movie
Nov 17, 2010
I have about 12 SWF files that I need to play as one swf file
Heres were i'm at right now. Opened new file. Imported each swf file into the library. in one layer I have 12 keyframes each with one of the swf files in it. I need the swf to play through then go to the next keyframe and play that movie and so on.
I guess the question is I'm not sure where to put the actions (on each of the keyframes or in the swf file or both) and I'm not sure what actions need to be used.
basically ive made a movie file and every time i publish it or publish preview i just get the first frame, i can scroll through the animation frame by frame but it wont play and it wont start! are there some settings i need to fiddle with or is something turned off? its really annoying me now because i cant for the life of me find whats wrong or even google an awncer. there's no error message, it just acts as if i didnt animate anything, ive tried going to propertys and putting the first frame to play but nothing ive tried worked!
So I have main .swf file(I'll call it movie1) that leads to webpages that are not in the movie. The webpage has a navbar which is a seperate .swf file (I'll call this movie2). I need the buttons on the navbar to link to a certain place in the main movie. Is there a way to use gotoAndplay in movie2 to go to a scene in movie1?
So, I'm making this website, and each page is a separate swf file. Let's call them 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf.. 6.swf.So far, I suceeded in linking page 1 to page 2 using Loader, but there's a problem. Page 2, in the player, is OVER page 1. That mean's you can see page 1 where you should be seeing page 2 background.My question is, is there anyway in AS3 to unload or close page 1, right after page 2 is loaded?
I made several SWF files and I am trying to link them together but I am not sure how. Right now I have 3 applications, and a main page. All 4 SWFs were compiled from different FLA files. The main page has 3 buttons that links to all 3 of the SWF files. When I tried to do a URLRequest-URLLoader method to load the swf files, I realised I had to compile all the MovieClips of the 3 applications within the main.fla for them to actually work when you do URLLoader to load them(or it will throw a missing file error). I couldn't move all the graphical assets into main.fla as there are many replica names of different graphics from all 3 different application fla files.
Is there a way to still link up different SWF files without the need for all the graphics to be in one similar FLA file? or is there a way to remedy my situation without having to rename all the MovieClips?
I needed to break it in smaller pieces because it is a large file (over 300 mb) and every time I wanted to publish the entire project flash crashed.
Here is my test: I have two exe files that should link back and forth. Intro_YIM.exe, which has a button that links to Videos_FrontPage_YIM.exe Here is my code, which is in Intro (button name= nav_4).
[code]...
Problem: The link seems to work, but there is a message that says save or run. When I click run, there is another message that says the file can't be open.
Questions:
1. Is there a better way to handle links using executable files using Flash CS5 and AS3?
2. If swfs were used, how can I have a main page displaying all other swfs as they are linked?
Files: Attached is a link to a file I made named "index". [URL] I would have liked to have included the following files but was limited due to "you-send-it" not uploading folders. Files not included: [but functioning and vital to the site as well as the question]
- xml list - images [folder] - thumbnails [folder]
Project scope: Website is an online-art gallery. I was able to get a functioning xml rolling thumbnail bar as well as have it load images. [Due to certain circumstances I was forced to put the project on hold until now.] It consist of 17 buttons, on the index [home] page, which are to call upon an xml file to load the appropriate scrolling thumbnail bar and the images which it loads upon clicking.
Problem When you open up the index file, go to the actions layer. You will see the script needed to load in the xml scrolling thumbnails as well as the associated images. The actionscript is fine and works in as much as when I save out an swf file the thumbnails dynamically load in and when I click on them the associated image loads to stage as well. [again if you download the index file you will not see this as not all the files were able to be uploaded due to "you-send-it" as mentioned.]
i am creating an app two swf file ( one is interface file and another one is output file) in AS2. i in connecting the two swf files. i.e if i press any button in one swf it have to sent data to another file and it have to trigger some function in that file.
If you compile a Flash project into a .swf file and that project refers to another .swf file, is it linked statically or dynamically? That is, is the second .swf file contained physically in the first .swf file or does the first .swf file refer to the second at run-time?
trying to use a CMS to import swf files. These swf files currently access source files through the standard code of: [url]...
and all works fine when testing on my machine because the swf is next to the file folder [url]....what I need to figure out is, is it possible to reference the [url]... folder as an absolute URL e.g. (http:url..) or is there another workaround I am not seeing?
ok so i've created (X) amount of .flv's and i basically want a slide show but i didn't want to make it all one file bfcuase the time line would be longer. i need to link all the files so that when i play the first one it will auto load the rest one after another.
I am trying to figure out how to link a bunch of buttons to different photo albums inside a single HTML page in Dreamweaver. Here is an example of what I mean: [URL]
Unless I'm mistaken, everything in this website is contained within one HTML document.When you click on any of the various buttons in the portfolio menu, they simply load up and appear inside the same HTML document.
How on earth do you do this without clicking on any of the various buttons and having them linked to another page??
So i've made my .swf files. The only thing is they all play at full screen when i play them using my web browser. I need them to play at 548 x 408. when i open the .fla and go to properties it says the size IS at 548 x 410 but it can't be if its playing full screen.
I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor
I have a flash movie that i embedded into a webpage. I have it set up to have three symbols come in then another that says enter. When i click this i want everything to disappear and then go to another webpage. This is my code i have everything working but i dont know how to link out of the movie. This is my code: (The mouse click function is at the very bottem)
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:
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.
I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).
I have an intro movie for my website, I know how to make it load another URL after it has played but how do I get it to load another swf. I know there is an easy answer that is escaping me.
I have a swf that uses the following code to go to different sections in a movie timeline:
Code: //This is the script for the main tab menu. contents.stop(); numberOfTabs = 8;
[Code]....
So basically if someone clicked on the tab with an instance name of tab6 it would take you to frame 6 in the movie clip with the instance name of "contents". What I want to do is be able to have a button (that is on a different swf) when clicked would go to this swf and then would go to the frame inside the movie with the instance name of "contents", (so for example you click on the button and it goes to frame 6 in the movie clip) but how to write the AS to tell the button to go to that specific frame inside the movie clip.
my question is to diplay random files , and i have given the code as
[Code]....
one more question is "where i need to store all these movie files. either in samefolder where the flash file is placed. or make it as a seperate folder and or in the flash file library". and one more thing is "how can i place these 20 files in a order like declaring the dimensions on the screen. do i need to put in a CSS.
Trying to create a link from an html page to the contact section of a flash website. I understand how to link to a specific frame by creating an anchor over the target frame, but it only works if its in a single movie. The problem is that the section I want to target is on a deeply nested movie which the main movie loads such as
Code: loadMovieNum("images/topback.swf", 8);
Instead of the html code looking like this "index.html#contact" for a single movie what would a nested link code look like?
I am wondering how/if I can link to an external URL within a movie clip. It is easy to create a link that functions within my site, but I am having trouble linking to an independent site.
.I've downloaded a template, which I'm modifying to get working the way I want. You can see how far I've got by going to URL... My question is regarding the 'About' page, where on the right hand side you'll see a pull down menu, with two images on it. The first (says Myrtletown Films) loads and links correctly - The second doesn't link correctly.I'm almost certain its a coding linking issue - As if I were to load the same movieclip as the first one (only telling it to load image2, it loads fine - but then wont link to a separate location).Ok, its starting to get confusing; so here's the FLA. When you open the FLA don't go looking around for bits and pieces. Everything you need will be in the 'action_ content' movie clip. You will find both instances of the images (which are labelled 'Previous_Work_Item_1a' etc)[code]The first image is linked to page '6', the second image (which is failing to load) is linked to page '7'. What's confusing is that Previous_Work_Item2a/b/c are just duplicates of Previous_Work_Item_1a/b/c
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;
This loads a new movie clip of a simple slideshow which has 7 frames. You can click through these frames with left and right buttons.
I no longer need the left and right buttons. I need a group of 7 buttons sitting under the "Recent Projects" link which each link to a different frame of the recentProjectsBody_mc movie clip.
I assume I need to load this movie clip before I link to a frame within it. But then how do I link to a specific frame within that movie clip?
I wanted to know how to link Button within a movie clip linking to Frame Label?I am using Action-script 3.0
I am trying to use the following AS inside the movie clip from where i want to go to the other frame labeled as advt_sms but i am not able to go to that page [code]...
Basically, I have adrop down menu, which contains about 20 buttons. Each button is set to _root.Keys_MC.gotoAndPlay("frame label"); a specific from within the Keys_MC which is on the main timeline.
The problem is, no matter which one I click, it always links me to the first frame of that movie clip.
i have created a navigation bar for my website and i need to add a url to the movie clip, it has roll over and roll out but when i put the url on it cuts out the roll over and roll outs.. what do i do?
im using the coding...
on (rollOver) {_root.home.gotoAndPlay(2) } on (rollOut) {_root.home.gotoAndPlay(1) }
