ActionScript 2.0 :: OnClipEvent (load) Does Not Working?
Sep 8, 2006
why it isn't working, or what I'm doing wrong to fix it. maybe I have the right script, but the wrong location. I'm also on Flash 8, by the way.example. I have the movie clip labeled "characters" on the main timeline. in that movie clip I have one movie clip titled "boy" and another one titled "girl". the "boy" movie clip is lip-synced and talking up a storm with some audio, and somewhere down the line, "girl" movie clip is introduced and is also supposed to speak on the frame I labeled by the same name, "speak". I'm trying to specifically target a certain frame in her movie clip timeline to play, but I just can't get it right.what I do have is:
onClipEvent (load){
_root.characters.girl.gotoAndPlay("speak");
}
now I know I could also have:
this.gotoAndPlay("speak");
I've tried placing the script directly on the "girl" movieclip when I want the event to happen, and then also placed the script on its own actionscript layer, but somehow, it just isn't working correctly.like I said, "boy" is chatting up a storm, and let's say something like frame 200 is when I want "girl" to come in with her line, that specific audio frame within her movieclip timeline labeled, "speak". she also has about 6 other speaking cues that I'm trying to call up to coincide with movieclip "boy" while he talks.

I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)

I have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.

It's a very basic comments form with only 3 fields, the information gets sent directly to a email address through PHP.
The form works perfectly, sends all the information to my email, but my problem comes in when I try to run a onClipEvent(data) handler to go to a "Thank you" page when the information's been sent.
The onClipEvent(data) handler runs on the form movie clip and works fine when I run it on my local drive, but when I run it through the website it never executes. The form just get sent and it stays on the same frame.
I'm getting headaches from this because it looks like all the codes are working fine, it just doesn't want to run the damn handler!

I'm having a tough time with a page sliding clip, and not sure what to do.
I've got a movieClip with a page sliding effect that I found here at Flash Kit. It's perfect for what I need, however the effect will only work in that movieClip. Once you try to load that movieClip from anywhere else, the sliding no longer works.
Here's the code that's on the image clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
spd = 5;

I've got this on a movie clip instance and it works great:

What I want to do however, is have "music1" play earlier on in the movie. I have a specific frame that I want it to start playing on. I don't want to wait until this clip loads. I've tried just putting a keyframe on a frame within the main timeline and adding some script but, I can't make it work.

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...

I have this code on my MC. I just want to know if what i'm getting is correct. I have this to get the date, day, month, year...you know the drill, but i can only get the complete date to display if I use onClipEvent(load). (enterFrame) won't work, and i just wanted to make sure there was a reason behind it. Is it because I'm using arrays? check out the code. I do not want to majorly change the code if it can be avoided...

I have tried this tutorial at: [URL]. I'm using Flash CS4 on the MAC. But when I run it, nothing happens, When I run the test movie I get an error: 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. OnClipEvent (load) {
Also, it doesn't say in the tutorial, so I created a new layer first and then dragged the snowflake symbol onto the stage and then added the script to it. (now there are 2 layers on my timeline). Although it doesn't say to make a new (2nd) layer. Surely you can't do everything on the same layer, because you need to add 2 different scripts which you can't do to one layer.

I developing a site where on the homepage, there are about 6 images that rotate, but if you click on a sub link, a different image loads. But the problem is that, the first image has to cycle through before the second image loads. I want the second image to load immediately.

I have 2 images that I want to swap places on a certain frame in my animation. I've been messing with it for quite sometime now and I can accomplish one of two things. Either the animation goes smoothly and the images don't swap depths or the images swap depths and the animation hangs.

I need to have an mc duplicate itself under its own onClipEvent(load) handler. To put it perhaps more clear, something like:
onClipEvent(load) {
//clips duplicate itself

I have tried all sorts of combinations of _root.clip.dMC, this.dMC,

This is my AS code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = Math.random()*2+90;
this._y = Math.random()*2+60;
this._alpha = Math.random()*30+50;
}
It is applied to the movie clip. I am having trouble figuring out how to STOP to action. I want it to stop after 10 seconds. How do I do this?

I am trying to change the images the following calls up. (Using CS4 and AS 2.0)
onClipEvent (load)
{
imageProperties = _root.getCurrentImageName(0);
loadMovie(_root.url + imageProperties.name, this.cont.pic);
[code]....
I get that I could find the image in the directory and just change it out with the same name/pixel size, but I'd also like to add more images to this particular project with the same conditions.

I am just learning Flash. I'm using Flash CS4, However I am using Actionscript 1.0/2.0. I have a main page with just simple buttons, and such. My question is, I need to load a swf within my main page. I have a sqaure in the center of my page that I want to load a swf in. I made a rectangle using the rectangle tool, and converted the rectangle into a symbol so that actions may be placed within it. I want to load a file called News.swf within the rectangle. I can't find any code to do this that doesnt have compiler errors.
I found one code: News.loadMovie("News.swf"); when I put just that in the Actions field, and I export the movie I get the error: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
I just want to load News.swf in the actions tab within a symbol.

I want to duplicate an MC every 5th second, so I came up with this code:
Code:
i = 100;
p = 0;
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
[Code].....
I know this doesn't work, because onClipEvent only works on buttons or MCs. So the question is: is there an onTimelineEvent or something that'd work on the timeline?

1. If I have a 'fish' drawing, and I want to produce bubbles at its mouth, how will I know where its mouth is through Actionscript?
In general, if I have a complex drawing and I want to identify a single part how do I do that using actionscript? This complex object could be an octopus. Then, how do I locate the arm number 3(an octopus has 8 arms?) of the octopus?
2.How do I exit from onClipEvent() when a condition is met? For eg, in VB I have the exit function but there is no EXIT function in flash 5 from which I can exit whenever a condition is met?

I have a Movie Clip on my time line that has an empty movieclip inside it which I whish to load a random external SWF file into. There is to be an unknown number of SWF's to load in and these are to be played one after the other. So when the first random SWF is finished playing the next random SWF is to start playing.
Here is the hierarchy of my file
Code:
|_ Timeline
|_ plasmaScreen_mc
|_ emptyMovieClip (instance name advert)
So on my empty movie clip I have an onClipEvent which loads in the file path of the External SWF from an XML file and tries to load the extrernal file. Here is my code
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this._currentframe == this._totalframes)
{
[code].....
Unfortunately because the code for getting data from the XML file is included in the onClipEvent "this" now refers to the XML data and not the movieclip. Can anyone tell me how I can proceed. I need to pass the filename to movieclip.

First here is my code:
[Code]...
Simple really. This event handler tells 3 different movie clips to play forwards and backwards depending if the main movie clip has been rolled over. This all works fine... what I can't seem to work out is when the movie clip is clicked I would like this event to stop and become disabled.

I have 5 image segments on a single PNG file. I am trying to get each of the 5 segments to "fly in" left and right and be revealed inside of a mask. It works, BUT only if I refer to a very old tutorial using onClipEvent, where the ActionScript is placed on the image's MC instance name (messy!). For some reason, I can only get this to work if I publish in Flash 6. Using ActionScript 2.0, I am trying to publish this as a version 8 SWF. Not sure what is deprecated, but onClipEvent seems suspect. I have tried (and failed) using onEnterFrame. The buttons no longer get that PNG to move left and right. It might be easier to see it, than explain what I have going on...

I registered because this forum kept on popping up when I asked google my actionscript questions.
I'll just come right out and admit it, I'm a noob. I am making a website with a bunch of buttons on a menu bar. When you mouse over a button, a submenu of other buttons pops out of it. I use this code.
[Code]...
The parent buttons are movie clips, and the sub-buttons are on later frames.My question is this: how can I delay it so that you have to hold the mouse over the button for a second before the button's playhead goes to its next frame?
Ideally, I'd like to have the playhead go to the second frame immediately, to change the color of the button on mouseover, and then have a delay before frame 3, when the sub-buttons start to appear.
