I've imported my animations into a single projector using loadmovie.When the external animations finish playing how do i get the main projector to recognise that the animation has finished and move onto the next scene ?

I can get by and make nice flash sites, but I'm still learning what goes where and am still borrowing code to get by.I've laid the problem out in some detail as I am sure that will save a lot of questions later on, but feel free to ask if you want more info.Problem is as follows: I've built a two scene flash site using open source code for the preloader scene:[code]The main scrolling menu scene works great when it's a one scene movie and the preloader code works fine with a load of other sites I've built, but when I put them together on this site (the code for the scrolling menu precludes the addition of a preloader directly into that scene so separate scenes are a necessity) everything goes to pot.When testing the site (both as a standalone SWF file and when embedded in an HTML file) the preloader works fine and the main scene appears correctly, but when you click on any button to move back or forth along the menu/timeline it jumps and jerks along very roughly and stops short of its designated point.
This causes the whole scene to fail as the designated timeframe for each button contains a movie instance that won't function until the specific timeframe is reached.It's odd behavior and I'm stumped as both chunks of code work fine separately.I've even tried a much simpler preloader that doesn't display percentage or anything, it just cycles between frame one and two until the movie loads and then plays it (just like this one, but with no bells or whistles).Unfortunately my lack of actionscript knowledge prevents me from even finding a simple term to sum up the problem so I've failed to find any similar issues on any forums or Google.
I have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

I want to load a movie loadMovie ("target", _root....) and so on. My question is can you target a specific scene in the load movie command?? I have a movie with a button that loads a new movie into level 0 so it replaces the first movie. Now in the new movie I have a button that unloads the new movie and loads the previous one. But it starts it off at the veru beginning of the movie. I want it to pick up where the first button click took place.

My question is : Can i loadmovie the external movieclip in the main movie?
I am working with an iMAC running 10.6.8.I have created a flash file with only the main scene, which has a List button and a Home button. The List button has 20 links as a scroll list, each link installs a movie clip from the library.The problem I am having is the List button works fine until I add the Home button, then the Home button works fine, but the List button only works on the frame that the action is on. Each button is on it's own layer, and runs the whole length of the show, which is 220 frames. I have a stop label at each place a movie clip is to play.
If I remove the Home button from the main scene and put it into each movie clip, how do I tell the movie clip to go to the main scene frame 1?
I`m new here but as I`m working on my showcase for the university I experience a bit of a flash issues because of being noob What i can`t find out is what script to use so i can make a "back" button in a movie clip to load a designated frame (let`s say frame 5) from the main scene. I`ve tried this:
back_vs.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("sceneOne", 5);
}

View 6 RepliesI am using Flash MX and am a complete novice to Actionscript. I created a movie clip with a dynamic text box that works fine when I test the movieClip scene. I brought that onto the main movie time line and when I go to test the movie, the dynamic text no longer works. I have tried different actionsript options on the main time line and on the movie timeline but cannot figure out where I am going wrong. Could someone give me a very basic walkthrough as to what I need to do to get this to work?

Is there any code that basically says, if root frame = 2 then do this.. I basically need my movie clip to blur when the main scene hits certain frames. The movie clip pans around though with script thats why i cant just add a blurred image to a layer in the main scene.

I wrote this AS for my preloader which schould be able to load a movie clip after pressing a specif button in the main sceene:
[Code]....
1) The problem is that to be able to target a movieclip I will need to give it a instance name. Where can i find this function in MX ?
2) I cannot understant how I schoul put a loadBar being a small movieclip on the main timeline, I think( the same timeline the container clip is at ) or maybe not ? well I am bit confused now..
Well I have done already a sceene preloader for my site and it works perfectly and i did not experience any problems as Im having now with this new kind of preloader.
I have music for my site that I want to load from an external file. The external file has a play and stop button in it (which work perfect). I can get the music to load if I make a button that triggers the loadMovie to happen, but can't figure out how to get it to loadMovie using a frame. Basically I just want the main site to load and I want the external music file to load automatically w/o pushing a button or anything. Here's the code I was trying, but the music controller and music never load into the main movie:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
loadMovie("mcMusic.swf", "music_container_mc");
}
I tried that code on the music_container_mc movieclip but it does nothing.
I added a website preloader in a separate scene to the main frame of my website and scripted it to go to and Play the main scene or frame of the website when finished loading. I then put a command in the first frame of the main scene for the movie to stop (); at that point. The problem is that now the buttons on the main page don't respond to any behaviour commands to go to and stop at other frames in the main scene. I'm not sure if this is a conflict between the stop(); command in the main scene and the button behaviour command to go to and stop at another frame or an error with the way I'm identifying the scene and frame.

I am try to go from a main scene to a second scene in Flash. The code work just fine to take me there, but when the scene appears it seems that I lose focus with the scene and the actions that should runs doesn't until I click once on the screen. Now I am using a button to navigate from one scene to another. If I use a movieclip instead of a button then everything works just fine. In my second scene I am using the keyboard to control different things in the scene.
View 1 RepliesI have a longtail flash player setup to a rtmp server to stream live events using adobe flash encoder 3. In gerneral it works fine now the problem is content i have a second swf file within the same page that was a powerpoint presentation that is now converted to a swf.
What i need to do is somehow send a command from the longtail video player to the slide show to trigger a slide push. So lets say we are live and streaming away i would need to send some sort of command that will tell the second swf to change slides so that everything is in sync.
Currenty we are using Windows media enncoder and we just send out a command to a iframe within the encoder which changes the slide, the slides are JPG so its easy to do. In the testing stage we have a standalone slide controller that is linked to the iframe and we can push a slide from the contoller which push the slide on the iframe. This method works if i remove wmp and put in a flash place since it not going through a video stream, but i need it to go through the video stream and then tell either a swf to change a slide or an ifreame to change a slide.
Reason it has to go through the video stream is so we can record the video and the commands so they can be setup as archive, so video and slide will cue at the right areas. Just like how you can send out commands from within windows media encoder and archive them and they auto trigger once he video plays.
Well i just need a way that will sync video with slides i don't really care how its done just that its done. There has to be a way to record the slide push commands so they can be used again to play the video and so it advances the slides.

View 1 RepliesIm making different quizes and small games. I always use a Document Class when coding, and usually i call this Main.as. Usually the Main.as contains pointers to different classes like:
private var _menu:Menu;
private var _messageBoard:MessageBoard;
etc..
My question/scenario is this: In for example _menu, i have a button that has an event listener on it (example: "Start" button). When this event is triggered (ie user hits "Start") I want to trigger a function in Main.as. How is the most elegant way of doing it? The solution i use now, is that i send a reference pointer of Main.as to each new class i make. ie in Main I would do something like this:
[Code]....
I'm doing quite a complicated game with a lot of code but one thing I can't quite figure out is how to trigger a function on the main stage from a dynamically added object.I've tried using custom events, but it doesn't work and doesn't throw any errors either.Here's the code for the CustomEvent class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]....
Here's the code part in the dynamically added child(CustomEvent is imported):
Code:
this.parent.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(null));
and here's the main timeline part of the code:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(CustomEvent.CUSTOM, checkMoney);
//more code here
function checkMoney(e:CustomEvent)[code].....
All of the above seems to work, because it doesn't throw an error, but it doesn't trace money when the event is dispatched.Before you ask, the event IS being dispatched or at least the if method it's in is entered.Any other method to tell the stage it's time to run the function is welcome also
So I got a plethora of games (group project), and we found the easiest way of putting them together is by loading each .swf of those games into a main .fla that will load each and will act as a menu between them. I need to know how a movie loaded to the root timeline can communicate with the main root.
I'm using _root.loadMovie("swf.swf"); to load the movies (one frame per swf). I tried containers with _root.container.loadMovie("swf.swf"); (empty MC on the stage with container instance name) but it ended up just looping the first frame of the loaded swf and not working like it should.
I tried using _global, that didn't work. I'm not sure what else to try, or what would work.
I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.
