ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Swf Into Level And Starting At Certain Frame?
Jan 15, 2009
I am using levels for this project to allow transparency transitions between swf files as they load. I created two variables:levelvar=5;removevar=(levelvar - 2)The external swf files load into _level0.levelvar and removevar prevent the root file from unloading. All is well except on one button I want it to load the swf at a particular frame. I tried this:
Is there a way to add some code in the first frame of the main movie's timeline that sets certain MC's that I specify into level 1000? I'm going to be using swap depths for a project but I need certain clips to always remain on top no matter what. The swap depth of the other movies will constantly be raising them by 2 levels, so I figure I'll put the ones I need on top on level 1000 as the others should never reach that high. I was thinking I'd have to either add an array with the MC's I need moved to level 1000, or make them _global. and set a property to that somehow.
Is there any way to make a movie clip start at a frame other than 1? I know with graphics it's simple, but with MCs I'm not sure. If possible, I'd like to do it without code, but if that's the only way to do it, I'd like to know that way too.
I have a simple Flash movie with a series of still pics fading from one to the next.I want to use it in a web page masthead and I would like the movie to start on a random frame.Is there some simple AS3 code I could use in the first frame that directs the movie to immediately jump to a random starting point within the 220 frames contained in the movie?
I created an AS file and used it as a class, inside it I called buttons and slideshow images. After that I decided to create an intro by moving the timeline. My problem is that all the objects are displayed from the very first frame, is there a way to make the entire class start after certain frame? Code for reference:
but how can i load an external swf into a movieclip, but i want that external swf would start on frame 10 (for example), instead on frame 1.
I have this external swf loading to movieclip1, and there's a button that makes the same external swf to load to movieclip2, but now i want it to load and start on frame 10...
I'm making a platform game at the moment with each levelinside a frame. For the background music I was going to embed thesound sound file in the library and whenever the app moves to a newframe on the timeline new music will play. It needs to be on eachframe as each level of the application is a frame itself.So for example
Frame 2 = Level 1 Plays, BackgroundMusic runs Frame 3 = Level 2 Plays, Stop Music 1, and Play BackgroundMusic2
I have a problem with a project using the FLVPlayback component (the Flash CS4 version) and FMS 3.
Playing back a video works fine. When the video is finished, I hide the FLVPlayback component.
But if I have to play the same video again, the video does not immediately start from the beginning. I see a glitch with the frame the user last stopped on (whether it stopped at the end or wherever in the middle). It never re-starts from the beginning right away.
I have tried different approches to solving the issue:
- tried seekSeconds(0) - tried autoRewind = "true" - a combination of both - nulling out the stream source (result in a Runtime error) then setting it again
Bonjour my friends, I have just gotten my hands on Adobe Flash CS4 and while I am rather please with my own ability to use the tools, as I've taken several vector art classes at my local community collage, I simply can't seem to get my head around the Actionscript part, while I completely understand it's purpose and capabilities, and have actually looked at several of the tutorials on this board, I still find myself with many questions.Chief among which would be...Is there a way to make an object move vertically a certain amount, each time you click a button, while preventing it from moving farther than a maximum number?- I looked for something like this in the tutorials, my aim simply being to create a sort of scrolling text box via masks and buttons, but all the tutorials were either far too complicated or required vast set up that would require me to take several steps back from my current location.
Also, is there a way to make the animation start on a frame other than frame one?- It was my understanding that one could simply put in a gotoAndPlay(#); code on frame one and that should cause it to go to and play from whatever frame you specify but that seems to be incorrect as it hasn't worked. Other questions I have include..Is there a method by which one could create a sort of slid show, within another scene? IE you're at scene X and you click a button, and a picture that is part of, but not all of, scene X changes to something else, while the rest remains the same.
I have a image slideshow set up on a time line. Each image is on a different layer and I am looking for a code to make the flash animation start at a random key frame every time the page is loaded. Here is a link to the site I am working on:
Im looking to for my flash video to start at a random keyframe everytime the video is loaded.I have about 20 layers with images transitioning into each other.URL...Anyone have any actionscript that could generate such an effect?

I have recently "inherited" several websites that feature 1 to 10 minute video animations in SWF formatOne of my challenges is to get these files to appear or play in a timely manner so that the viewer does not loss interest as it is loading. My questions will start with file size.reduce or minimize the size of published SWF files while still maintaining high quality video output? Second, how about this business of preloading.I don't really understand that term but my thinking is that if a large movie could be loading while another, shorter, movie is playing, or a graphic displaying, that this could be useful in my case. Lastly, how about streaming in general. Are there ways to optimally use a given download speed to efficiently stream SWF video?
Alright, so I've been struggling with this one since last night. When I create a new object (a new unit), and draw it to the screen (Flash does all the work there), the point at which it's first placed is considered its origin. That is, getX and getY will return the distance from that point... Why is that? Or how can I stop this?
I am trying to go to a certain frame within level 0. When you are in level 4, for example, and you click the button that takes you back to level 0, I would like to bypass the preloader and initial animation in level 0 and start at frame 3. I would like to think that it's as easy as:
I dont know the first thing about Actionscript, so I dont know if this goes in Newbies or not because I'm not a newbie to Flash, just the programming aspect.Basically what I'm looking for is this script:
m = Microphone.get(); attachAudio(m); m.setUseEchoSuppression(false);

I would REALLY be grateful! I need this for a school project and don't know anyone who knows actionscript! I believe to someone who knows AS this should be fairly simple. Once I have the finished code, I can edit the frames to suit my puropse.
I posted this in beginners. But I guess this is a better place to post it. I originally found this online. [URL] Basically what I'm looking for is this script:
m = Microphone.get(); attachAudio(m); m.setUseEchoSuppression(false); onEnterFrame = function () { circle._xscale = circle._yscale = m.activityLevel+50; };
EXCEPT that instead of scaling, I need the mic level to affect what frame is being shown.(Circle is a graphic symbol)
I've got a button that, when clicked, needs to play a frame. Normally I'd just use the gotoAndPlay feature, but the frame I want to play is on a higher level than the button. That is to say that the button is inside of a few movie clips but the frame I want to point to is just in the main scene, not inside of movie clips
loading var into different swf in different level.
I got the index.html to hold navigation.swf, navigation.swf loads login.swf in level 10 then I got an var coming from the database but login.swf cant receive it (it shows nothing). So I try to use index.html to hold the login.swf then it works, does anyone know why login.swf can't receive the var? If I load into different swf in different leve, does it mean I have to specify the level for the var?
Problem: When loading another swf from the main.swf into main.swf, it works fine. But now I have a problem of loading page2.swf from page1.swf which is now opened in main.swf. I've tried using loadmovienum but they overlap each other instead of page1.swf disappearing. Hope I explained the situation well enough. Here's the script from main.swf used to load page5.swf (where all the 5 = page5).
i have just started to use flash and i am in the process of making a game but im stuck on putting actionscript into one part. i have a character and i want the game to go to the next level (next frame) when he hit the exit door. i know this might sound stupid but i have only just started.
I have this code where the player can set their volume; var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); my_sound.loadSound("C://Documents and Settings/me.my-comp/My Documents/My Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album (8-09-2004 10-55-17 AM)/my_song.mp3", true); this.createEmptyMovieClip("knob_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,140,64); knob_mc.left = knob_mc._x; knob_mc.right = knob_mc.left+100; [Code] ..... OK, now the catch, this code works fine, however, how would I make it possible for the volume level to be retrieved in another frame and all the sounds in that frame are played at the set volume??
So I'm working on a portfolio and I'm trying to load an image with a submenu on top of it that will let you click through a couple different related images. However, right now the submenu keeps loading underneath the image, so the buttons are there and you can see it a split second before the other image loads over the top. I tried manually putting in levels for the image and submenu and no luck.
Im having trouble with this script again. I need to load a movie on the 2nd leve this is the script here.
// Time value, in milliseconds, after which, failing any mouse movement, an action is to occur. numMouseTimeoutMS = 30000; // Define what is to happen should the mouse be moved.
The trouble is that when I click in the button in the first film, the "main.swf", the "album.swf" is loaded into level 10, but the images and description does not load. Seems to be here some parsing problem between flash and xml, but I can't solve it.
I am loading a swf into a level, but need to use actionscript to manipulate its location in the root movie. This is my code:
stop (); loadMovieNum ("logo_sm.swf", 1); _level1._x = 300; // whatever you want for upperleft x _level1._y = 300; // whatever you want for upperleft y
yet the loaded swf continues to load in its native position, rather than at any coordinate which I specify. It is riding in the upper left hand corner, even tho here I am indicating a much different position.
Does anyone know how I can load a movie into level1 that has sounds embeded in it and be able to play them? I would like to load the sounds using code on the timeline. I don't understand why my method is not working.Here is what I tried.I have a movie that I am loading into level 1.My sounds are inside the movie that I load into level1.So I ran a test and if I load the movie into level0 the following code works fine and plays the sound.[code]But then when I load the move into level1 and change the code to the following, it deosn't work.[code]
I have a swf file ("myfile.swf") which i want to load using preloader.
I referred many tutorials for preloader but problem is I want to load "myfile.swf" at _root level as I have referenced many movieclips in it as for example _root.mc1.mc2
I tried following but may be i am mistaking somewhere...
1) I used preloader in frame 1 and frame 2 and swf content in frame 3 but the file is so huge that the preloading almost starts at around 69% or so
2) I kept preloader in scene 1 and swf content in scene 2. But i cannot see the preloader or i can see at 98% or 99%
3) I used preloader in "pre.swf" and used loadMovie() to load "myfile.swf" at _root. But as i m loading "myfile.swf" at _root so preloader's code is overwritten and so i m not able to see preloader
My "myfile.swf" is very complicated file and so i cannot change all the movieclips which i have referenced as "_root.mc1.mc2".
