i'm having a problem with my button. it works fine when i press it once, but when i press it a second time, my movie thats linked to the button starts over. is there any way to stop this from happening?
View 2 RepliesI have an ordinary button and I have a little movie of an axe crashing down on the button when it is released. Once released what I want it to do is FINISH the axe chopping down THEN start the specified scene. the problem? the movie of the axe doesn't complete before the selected scene starts.

I wanted to make play button. Kind of this huge one in the middle of the screen as users used to see on YouTube.Here is the code for it which seems to work:
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Play);function onClick_Play(event:MouseEvent) :void {
SWF_flv2.play();
[code].....
I can't believe how impossible it has been to find info about this. I'm sort of a beginner with actionscript, but this shouldn't be as hard as I'm finding it to be.
I'm using AS2. I have an ordinary FLV video playing with one of the skins that comes with the Flash software (CS3). That all works perfectly fine. What I need to do, however, is add a large "PLAY" button over top of the movie. I have made that work also. But, I need the button to disappear when the movie starts playing, because it is obviously in the way and making it hard to view the video.
Some forums suggested making that button disappear when it is clicked. That would be fine, except that the video player skin also has a play button, and if someone clicks that button instead of my new large button, I still need the large button to disappear.
So what I'm trying to figure out how to do is something like: if the FLV is playing, make this object (the button) disappear or become invisible. This can't be that difficult!
well, I got this for my Play/Pause button (on stage):
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
btn_play.onPress = function(){

How can find out the linked url of the image in the flash of a website? I looked for the image url some time. but couldn't find itif find the linked url of the image, and i want to alter an image linked url address. where is the code in?
View 3 RepliesOK, I've spent a few very frustrating hours trying to figure out a solution that's probably staring me in the face. I have one movie (Intro.swf) that loads a second movie (ncjhs_Menus.swf) with drop down menus. Intro has a movie clip with the following script in it:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ncjhs_Menus.swf"); myLoader.load(url);
Both the Intro .swf and the ncjhs_menus.swf files are saved in a subdirectory called Flash off the root. The html file generated by flash is saved in the root. When done that way the Intro file runs but does not manage to get the menus file to load. If however I save the html file into the same Flash diretcory as the two .swf files then everything works fine and Intro can call the menu .swf file.
On the mxmlc command line, I can include paths to RSL files. I can choose to link these RSLs at runtime by setting
-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=false What if I need to link to some rsls and embed (static-link) other rsls? Is there a way to set the link settings for each rsl?
I have one scene linked to another through a button, when I click on the button that links to scene two it takes me to the scene but doesn't play the animation it just shows the non animated components. Is there something really obvious I am missing here because if I go to the scene (when I am not testing the movie) the animation works perfectly.
View 1 RepliesI work in Flash CS3, AS3.I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
I have a main movie on my site with buttons that display linked movies in the right half of that main movie. One of the movies is the kind that I only want to play through once, then stop. In the FLA file of that linked movie I've put a stop(); action in the final frame, and when played alone it stops accordingly. But when it plays as a linked movie, it continues to loop. What can I do about this? The button script on the movie doing the importing is:
on (press) {gotoAndStop("flash_dev");
flash_mc.loadMovie("cubeintro.swf");
clearInterval(_root.myInterval); }
Currently I have retangular jpegs that are converted to linked buttons. The reason I made these buttons as jpegs is b/c I wanted to use this really cool font that most computers wouldn't readily have. Its working just fine but I wish to have a underline effect when the mouse is rolled over. I looked under the properties of the button but it does not have that option...is it possible to do that in the timeline?
Should I replace that non-underlined button with a jpeg that's been underlined when the keyframe is in the over position? I am using both dreamweaver and flash for the first time; all my content is a single flash swf file inside a box that is centered in the page in dreamweaver.
I find the layout arrangement in Dw difficult somehow and Fl much easier to work with. This is the page I'm working on [URL].
I've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:

now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).
After finally making a button with an animation in it, I get stuck with the button actually working. I followed this tutorial; [URL] for the most part. And when I link the button to an URL like it uses as an example in the tut it works. But when I want to link it to a frame label in my website it doesn't work. Atm the code in the movie clip on the hit area looks like;
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
gotoAndPlay("on");
}on (rollOut, dragOut) {
gotoAndPlay("off");
}on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "who")
}
The rollover/out works fine. But the link isn't working within the Flash file.

I am making a game in Flash CS4 using AS3. This is the point. I have a MovieClip called Menu which holds a button with instance name ButPlay. Menu MovieClip is linked to Menu.as script. This is whats inside the Menu.as:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
When i run the animation i get the this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Menu()
When i try to trace the ButPlay inside the Menu i get null object.
i have a movie that has a swf player practically on every page playing a number of different videos.When I export it usually and play it on another computer the flash file won't play the videos as they simply are not there
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that exists only in the library linked to a scrollpane component using its linkage identifier (the name of this MC is content_mc). It scrolls perfectly. However, in the movie clip there are additional movie clips I would like to control (green_mc), but for that I need to be able to access them using DOT syntax. How can this be done? I'm assuming that since the movie clip in the library has "export in first frame" checked that I would be able to access it somehow like this[code]...
View 1 RepliesI got a problem, there I have two movie clips each is linked with action script file. The first movie clip "level screen" has a loop (code is not shown there) in it's code which addChild a lot of same icons (but each has different number) and add them to array levelArray. Then when I click a icon, for example one with nmber 31, it addChild the other movie clip "main screen" and send it a variable "levelNumber" with value 31, so mainScreen could then addChild a level 31. Below is the code for levelScreen checking what icon is being clicked and taking right actions. However first I will write how i imagined this to work step-by-step
1. The timer activates the loop over and over again, so when it comes to end, it starts again.
2. The loop loops through array called levelArray, in which all icons are stored.
3. Inside the loop it first defines a variable checkIcon which is the icon at which the loop is.
4. Now there the things get complicated, I want to add a MouseEvent listener to icon, if it would be triggered the function "onLevelButtonClick" should be executed, and the I want to remove the listener again, so I wont have 1000 listeners on same icon after some time.
5. And the function dispatch event which add main screen and send it a variable levelNumber, which should be number of icon clicked.

View 1 RepliesI tried to implement a simple preloader for an existing swf movie. I've created a new flash document and added the Loader as well as a ProgressBar component. In the action script of the key frame 1, I implemented the following:
import mx.controls.ProgressBar;loader.contentPath = "myMovie.swf"; pBar.setStyle("themeColor", "0xF49417");pBar.setStyle("color","0x3D566F"); pBar.labelPlacement = "bottom"; pBar.label = "LOADING %3%%"pBar.scaleY = 150; pBar.conversion = 1024; pBar.source = loader; pBar.mode = "polled"; loader.load();
The problem is now that the movie starts playing (i.e. its sound) before the progress bar is completely finished. This usually happens around 80%. How can I avoid that the movie starts before the progress bar reaches 100%?
My FM is embedded in the HTML-file startmovie.html?var1=bla&var2=nr .
How can I load these two variables var1 and var2 into variables in my Flash Movie?
I know how to send and load vars from PHP-scripts but the Movie is allready running at that time. Now I want to start the movie (through the HTML-page) and get the arguments from the URL that contains the FM.
If you wonder why the movie starts over in the middel of the song, don't worry it's not finished :-)download the movie here: [code]
View 1 RepliesI have a movie with 3 scenes, the last one has only just one statement on the timeline:_root.stop(), and there are not library objects neither ones created by code. Just and empty stage with the statement I told.I know I am not an expert in Flash yet, the entire design of code in timeline and movieclips are not very clear and tidy.When the movie reaches the scene three, it stays one or two seconds (not the same amount of time in each playing) and replay from scene one and the things become chaotics from there. I revisited one and two times the code and objects from movie explorer tool and can't figure out what demon makes re-start the movie when it must stop in the last scene

View 8 RepliesI want to make a stop clock that starts on the touch of a button.Like using getTimer() but only starts the time at the click of a button.I do not want to display todays date but just a millisecond stopclock like on a watch, one that you can reset and time again.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to create a stopwatch that starts at 00:00 when a play button is pressed, and then stops whenever the stop button is pressed. After the stop button is pressed, I would like the time to be displayed on the next frame, and say something like "You pressed the stop button in x". I'm using flash CS3...so actionscript 2.
