ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Script Play On Every Frame Without Copying It To Every Frame?
Jul 17, 2002
I'm creating an effect in flash mx where lasers follow a guide path and reveal a word beneath. I was setting it up making it drop behind a square where the spark travelled and i used the setmask command to mask it, problem is, the setmask command only works with one instance at a time! Can i group multiple instances with actionscript? Or can i have it dump the squares on a mask layer with actionscript.I was also wondering if i could just make the script play on every frame without copying it to every frame? I tried the on enter frame deal but it didn't work.
i have a movieclip on stage. it has 3 frames but is stopped with "stop():" so it only shows the first frame on mousedown i want it to play frame 2 for a duration of 1 frame then frame 3.
This is a snippet of some code I'm working on. Currently I have a mc that you press that plays another mc. That mc that reacts has 5 frames, each frame with stop(); on each frame. I do a normal play code because it lets me play through and cycle back to frame 1 after frame 5 (so if I click the mc it eventually cycles back to the first frame and starts the process over again). If I do a nextframe it stops at frame 5, so that's why I use play.
press_mc click on it and it tells mover2_mc to advance a frame and recycles back to frame one to redo the process.Can I tell press_mc to play and skip a frame or to have it play a list of frames that I tell? I can't do a _currentframe +2 because it'll halt at frame 5.
I'm working with video in Flex. I'd like to be able to pause the video at a certain point and copy the displayed frame as an image, and save it to a database. how I might copy a single frame from a paused video?
I'd like my Flash site to be bi-lingual. What I have currently is a Flash movie with an empty Movie Clip which then allows users to go from movie to movie. The movies are all small movieClips that are loaded into the empty movieclip on demand. There is some video and text in each of the 30 movieClips. Here is sample of code that i'm using to call up next MovieClip.
[Code]...
My solution for the bilingual version is to create a separate frame with the French version + video and then when user presses the French button they are directed to that frame. This way I could easily create the French text within the one movie. however i don't know the Actionscript code to call up a movieClip to play from frame 10, and not frame 1.
I am attempting to animate in the timeline, and then "copy motion as as3" so that I can reuse the animation. The problem is that when I take the AS and put it into a class, it only wants to run 1 frame, and does not continue the animation.[code]...
Ive got a portfolio, with buttons that loads things from the portfolio, eg volvo.swf, ikea.swf and ford.swf into the same loader.underneath ive got another ext swf with two buttons, next and back, and i want them to go to next and prev on the eg. volvo.swf if that's the one which is loaded. but it doesn't work!the code below, loads the arrows(next/backbuttons) alright, but i dont know how to get them to gotoAndStop on the next /prev fram on the loaded swf.
Code: Select allvar myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("arrow.swf");
I built a button in one of the movie clips in my project,
when I release this button, it goes to the 41st frame of the main timeline and continue to play until the frame 70 which has got a stop; command. till here everything's just OK. But I want this button to do something more though I don't know whether it's possible or not.
I want this button to go and play the frame number 41 in the main timeline, and then after it stopped at the frame 70 , then jump to frame 73.
I have a small flash site made up of a number of pages all on the one timeline.
The query is this. When i release a button i want the timeline to roll on for x frames (fading components out) before going to the frame that button links to (The beginning of the new page).
I have no idea what AS to use for this.
No matter where in the timeline you are, the button should fade out that area and then skip to a new one.
This time I'm experimenting with visibility. All the tutorials online vary a lot. I'm trying to find something noob proof. I have actionscript 2 and 3. I'm not sure which one to use..I'm just trying to learn how to make a frame become visible and Play when I click on a movieclip.
nextTX.onRelease = function (){var nextFrameLabelNum:Number = (1+Math.round(thTX._currentframe/27))%10; thTX.gotoAndPlay("next "+nextFrameLabelNum); }[code].....
which works great IF I am moving one image at a time.What I have done now is tween 3 slides to move into a visible mask by pressing next, but when I press previous of course the above doesn't work.It just jumps to the previous three with no tween.I would like to maintain the tween but in reverse.I would like the previous just to undo, in reverse, what the next button just did with the tween?Is there anyway to make this happen with as 2.0?
In this bit of code is there anyway to adjust the gotoAndPlay Command to play from frame 114 to frame 200. Are there any commands that will do this. I want it to play from frame 114 to frame 200 when a button is pressed.
I'm building a flash application where the user can play multiple 30 sec .flv movies (one at a time) in slowmotion by pressing or holding down the left and right arrows keys.The user can hold/press "keypress right" to move to the next (key)frame and "keypress left" to move to the previous (key)frame in the .flv files.I have tested embeeding one .flv movie to the stage and it's working fine.But since I will be using many flv's I want to load the .flv's dynamiclly (on button clicks) using netstream or FLVPlayer. Would it be possible to step beetween keyframes in the same way if the .flv's are loaded dynamiclly? Or, must I embeed each .flv file into separate swf's and then dynamiclly load the swf's to my main stage?
I have a series of buttons that when clicked go to certain frames which all display different content. I have a unique movie clip on each one of these frames that has an initial play in, followed by a loop, and finally a play out for when they leave that frame.
I have it so the movie clip plays in and then loops, but I want the movie clip to play out when a user clicks a different button that leads them to another frame and other content. But because they can click the buttons in any order they like I can't specify the play out to the buttons.
Can I make the current frame's movie clip play its "play out" part when I switch frames?
I have a series of buttons that when clicked go to certain frames which all display different content. I have a unique movie clip on each one of these frames that has an initial play in, followed by a looping animation (the character walks in, then loops waving or something of that nature), I would like the movie clip to have a play out animation (character walks off) when the user leaves that frame so that when they go to the next frame the new movie clip can play in (new character walks on screen).

What I'm trying to do is play 5 frames all attached with short audio wav files one right after another. I want to be able to press play for each frame.When I insert either of these codes:
Code: play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound); } function playSound(event:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The video goes straight to playing the frame 1 wav sound file I have there, then when I press the button it rushes through the rest of the sound files in the rest of the frames and starts back at frame 1.Am I missing a code that I need to insert into the other frames, or am I using the wrong coding?
This may be a really simple question but I'm trying to go to a frame on the timeline which has a movieClip object in it and then goto a specific frame in that movieClip and I can't figure out how to code it. I thought something like:

What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.
What im trying to do is play a movie clip between frames. So say we have two menus, when you are on menu 1 and you click the button for menu 2, a short movie clip plays and then you stop on menu 2. I realise I can do this by putting the movie clip on the main scene timeline, but is there anyway i can put it on the button? I think the action script would be something along the lines of "On release play MovieClip and goto frame X" As i said i want the movie to play as an almost filmic transition between menus, with a fade up and then out (Have got that bit sussed using the alpha controls)
Just finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.
