I want to make a sliding gallery that plays a certain amount of frames and stops. I have this script
[Code]....
Instead of play() i have tried putting a counter in like counter 8 but it does not work.
The idea is that if i click the contact button but im on the home page its scrolls over all
other pages and stops on the home page.
I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie

Ok- so the idea is that when you click a button it plays the movies assigned to the variables gallery & button to the frames mentioned. Then the variables are changed and then when another buttons is clicked it does the same - 'except it doesn't - it does it once then sits there I have to use variables because there's a lot more buttons..but i don't understand why it doesn't work - it seems such a simple and obvious thing to try and do - why is it so HARD???
I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

I'm trying to make a simple "gallery" that has 6 images, each on a different scene and using 2 buttons to navigate through them. One moves 1 scene right and the other moves 1 scene left.
Everything works except that after I click on any combination of the buttons (left or right) 6 times, it will then only let me move 1 more page as if it no longer has an event listener for the other button.
To clarify a little more:
Starting at scene 1, if I click "right" 6 times and come back to scene 1, when I click right again it will not go to scene 2 again, but if I click "left" it will go back to scene 6 but then once there, it will not go "left" again to scene 5, it will only let me go back to the "right" to scene 1 again. So then I become stuck on these 2 scenes. [code]...

View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip being used as a button. After a random amount of clicks the button stops working. In other words, the mouse will become a hand when hovering over the button but no clicks are registering to fire the function. I've even clicked it 40 times and it will work but then suddenly, bang!, it stops working. Heres the function that adds the btn, listener, animates it into the screen and also adds text.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to run a function where after an amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then if the mouse moves another one plays. I have gotten my code to do this, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once. how do I do this?
here is my code,
standstill = 0;
lastmove = 0;
timeout = 3000; // 1000 ticks = 1 sec

I'm working on a flash content slider thing (i.e. it shows a message and then transitions to the next, and there are buttons at the bottom to navigate to each message). Now I want it to actually stop playing when you navigate to a specific message, instead of continuing to play from there. The problem is there's a fade transition, so I essentially need it to go to the first frame in the transition and play (what it does now), but then STOP once the transition is complete. I don't know how to do this without adding a global stop() to that specific frame, and I don't want to do that because I want it to, by default, rotate from one message to the other.

View 8 RepliesI have made an animation in Flash, that would be ported to the iPhone/iPad; I want the animation to play when you rotate your finger on the screen and to stop immediately when the finger is lifted (Without starting the animation over), When the user would continue rotating their finger, the animation would continue to play.
How would I approach this in ActionScript 3.0?
i have a soung loop that i want to "loop" in my movie.this is my script:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("loops/music.mp3",true);
the problem is that it only plays once (5 seconds long) and then stops, how do i get it to loop? - short of placing it on the timeline.

View 1 RepliesOK so I screwed up. I didn't plan properly for a project and now the client is saying that the loading time is long (2 mb). Is there anyway I can load just a certain amount of frames and then play them? (External SWF)
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a simple way to have a button do 2 things:1. Play main timeline a specific amount of frameshen2. Goto a specific spot in the main timelineHow do I specify how many frames to play before the second bit happens?So far I'm trying to get something like this to do it but what to add in play()

EXAMPLE: I have a movie clip on the stage with 100 frames inside of it. If a hitTest == true, I want it to play a certain amount of frames depening on what the item is. I tried the following code:
[Code]...
I get the trace to show YES. I can't get the MC to play 5 frames and 5 frames only!
I have a flash movie with about 350 frames, each frame is a mixture of text and between 1 and 10 images, later on I might add some download file links, website links and videos to some of the frames. I have a menu at the top of the movie which lets you flick between each frame, so by clicking the menu button "image 20" you are taken to frame 20, click menu button "image 135" and you are taken to frame 135 and so on, very simple. I also have 2 buttons at the bottom of my movie, these buttons let you go backwards and forwards through the frames. If you are on frame 50 and click "forward" button, then you go to frame 51, click the "back" button on frame 50 and you would go to frame 49.
At the moment I simply use
Actionscript Code:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(4);}
Which of course would take you to frame 4.
My movie has nothing else, that's it, very simply and very little action-scripting on each button. At the moment my movie just flicks between each frame which doesn't always look very nice, so I want to change it so that the frames do a slide effect. So if you are on frame 15 and click the "forward" button, it would slide from frame 15 to frame 16, so as frame 15 slides to the left hand side, frame 16 would slide in from the right hand side. Or, if you were on frame 21 and clicked the top menu button "image 320", then frame 21 would slide to the left hand side and frame 320 would slide in from the right hand side.
And it would do the slide animation seamlessly and smoothly, I saw some examples online which didn't look very smooth when doing a slide, so it would be good if I could make it as smooth as possible during animation. I have search around online and the only examples I can find are image galleries, which seems to have action-scripting far beyond my capabilities at the moment, or they work in a way that is not any good for what I want to do. I use action-scripting 2, but I could change this to action-scripting 3, I am also using CS4.
i've made a game with 2 view so i need to be able to switch between them during it. Instead of making a goto frame 7 on the button on one frame for example and then a goto frame 8 on button on the next frame is there a way i could just put go forward 40 frames for example and apply that to the button on each frame, so on frame 1 the button would take u to frame 41 and on frame 3 it would take u to frame 43.furthermore, is there a way i could make it go back say 40 frames to switch the view back?
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a sliding featured gallery like Kongregate.com or Hulu.com uses on their home pages. What I have so far is here:URL...Where I am running into trouble is in the loop around/wrap around areas. My next and previous buttons tween to the next/previous item just fine. However when I get to the last/first, it gets tricky.What I have done when you get to feature #5 is check for the x position, and if I am going beyond 5, I reset it so that we pull in #1 instead. The problem is that this scrolls in #1 from the wrong direction. (Take a look at the SWF above to see what I mean).If I shoot further back in negative X direction and scroll that way, I'll end up with blank space at the start of the move. I could dupe #5 and put it there, but then I have two versions of feature #5 (and #1 for the wrap the other way) that have to be maintained. (Note these will be more than just a blank square obviously, they will each be movie clips that do things).
Possibly that is the correct way? Or am I going about this the wrong way. Would it make more sense to dynamically create, scroll and remove the clips on each button click? (I'm not sure how I would do that exactlyI suppose I could also add the buttons via actionscript too, instead of placing them in a layer and them zipping them to the top, although I'm not sure it matters much.[code]Also one other thing, I note that if the user clicks one of the buttons before the tween completes, it throws the whole thing off (since it grabs the x value when clicked) - is there a way to disable the buttons until the tween is complete?
I'd like to use a gallery similar to the one atfor a gallery I am creating. I have an idea of how the horizontal motion would work using a timeline but does anyone have an idea of how I could use actionscript to move the movieclip horizontally so that each image is centered or using a tween class?

I've downloaded and slightly modified the Photo Gallery with Thumbnails .fla file. It works fine, except when you mouse over the right side, it keeps scrolling until all of the thumbnails are off the screen. Going to the left, it works fine, stopping when you reach the first thumbnail. On the original, it works as it should.
