I have a movie clip with the name ABOUT, and it contains 92 frames. That I want is when my page open, automatically goes in the movie clip ABOUT and play the frame 47. Here is a code that I am experience to achieve but nothing.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
_root.cont.cont2.p2c1.ABOUT.gotoAndPlay(47);
gotoAndPlay(47);
}
I'm trying to get a movie clip to automatically load up another external clip, after playing an embedded flv.
This is what I've tried so far:
var holdFrame = setInterval( holdFrame, 5000);
gotoAndPlay(
_root.mc_holder.loadMovie("swf/library.swf"));
clearInterval (holdFrame);
Although it throws no errors, the setInterval is ignored and it just loads direct into the next mc clip.
I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
View 1 Repliesi am having trouble with xml. i am trying to work it so that if the variable that comes from the xml file changes to a certain number it will automatically change the movie clip i have on the movie. I have also attached the fla and xml file
View 1 Replies[URL] The problem I have is that it does turn the first button on when the movie starts. Due to this, it does not play the 'out' of the first slide. The script I used is:
currentButton = null;
firstButtonPress = true;
function buttonCheck(n) {
buttonCollection['b'+n].onRollOver = function(){
[code]...
In the mainClip movie clip, the last frame of the 'Out' plays this script:
gotoAndPlay("pageIn"+_parent.currentButton);
telling the clip to play the next 'In'
i'm working on this site: [URL]
the problem is that i want one of the movie clips in the background to start playing automatically..does anyone know the script in order to get the swf to play right away?
they swf files load and play when pressed (bottom right buttons)
last resort, i'll create a fullscreen button to activate the movieclip but i'd rather not have to...
How do you do loadMovie into an empty movie clip automatically, without a silly butto push or anything?I've got a movie. I want to include another movie when the .swf file loads (so I can use a preloader on the movie that's being loaded).So, in my timeline, on a layer called banner, I have an empty movie clip I've made, with the following code:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
loadMovie("topbar.swf", "_root.barHolder");
}
topbar.swf is the name of the movie that's being called.barHolder is the instance name for the movie clip I want it to load to. So why isn't this working?
it isn't such a big problem bur for a beginner like me it is.I have a movie clip called "Lion_beginning_mc", inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.For example:Key Frame number 01 - DogKey Frame number 02 - CatKey Frame number 03 - MouseI want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.

View 1 RepliesI have a character, And in its movieclip I`ve got 3 frames (first has an idle pose, second a walking pose and third a running pose), each with a movieclip with an action in it.Well, what I wanted is that when I am walking with this character, and press the SHIFT key he runs.And I`ve got the following code

But when I click the shift button, he shows the first frame static of the movie clip in frame 3 (running frame).
I'm trying to simulate the coriolis effect and have managed to create a drawing application that lets the user draw on a rotating movie clip. However, I would like to now create an animation that automatically draws a line onto the movie clip which ends up being curved, but I can't figure out how to convert the x, y coordinates of the pixels on the stage to the corresponding x, y values of the movie clip. Here's what I have so far:

I would like play head of a movie clip to return to a certain frame of that clip so a MC inside it would loop. I now have: stop(); as the action.
View 2 Repliesi've tried placing the code in the actions pnel of the mc; on the mc at the main time line and in various other unspeakable places... but i always get the same error warning me that this code can only be used in movieclip instances and that my stupidity levels are reaching dangerous levels. (error: 'Symbol=stage_mc, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 5: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent(enterFrame){'
i fear somebody will reply to this with:'the code goes on the movieclip instance'...at which point i will take up a career in knitting (i knew i shouldn't have given up the course in the first place)
I have an invisible button and only one mc, the mc loops 3x then stops, this is defined with as in mc.
Now i want to play the movie from the invisible button but only loop it once. Which means i would like to play it from frame 1 to frame 215.
And also when u rollout i would like the movie to stop and go to frame 1.
this is my button code so far
Code:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("loader")

I am making a quiz/game, and it works like this, two teams that have to take over the united states, by answering history questions, so right now I have it were when you click on a state, it takes you to a question (on a different frame in the main timeline), then I have a problem, if you get the question right it takes you to the "board" of the United States (that works), but when you are back the color of the state should change its color to red (on frame of the clip) if south got it and blue (another frame of the clip) if north got itBut instead i changes back to grey (default color, all start grey to begin with). I don't and can't seem to figure this out

I'm trying to open a new window from a button in my main window and load a movie clip into it. I have not yet found a solution that works though. From the documentation I have found and tried:
Code:
loadMovie(filepath, this);
This works, but it replaces my existing one. I want a new window, so I tried to add:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("chat_mc", 999);
This loads all the components from the movie clip ontop of my existing one, it gets it half way there sort of, lol. All in all this is what I have:
Code:
on (release) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("chat_mc", 999);
loadMovie("C:\Documents and Settings\foo\Desktop\Server.swf", chat_mc);
}
how I can get this to work? I would like two windows with two movies, the new one created on the press of a button.
is it possible to open a movieClip from the library in a new browser window?

View 6 RepliesFlash crashes when I try to open any Movie Clip with a text field. This happens with both CS 5 and CS5.5. I am on a Mac Running 10.6.8. The files in question began as a CS4 about a year ago and have been converted to CS5 and CS55 since.
This problem happens sometime but not always, but it has definitely gotten worse with the latest Flash Pro update. (Flash Pro CS5.5 v. 11.5.1.349)This appears to be related to Mac only. I have reprouced on two other Macs, but have not been able to on a PC. (all running CS 5 or CS 5.5)We have a Javascript that goes through the FLA and embeds the fonts in all text fields. (Because font embedding in CS5 or CS5.5 infamously does not work at all). Sometimes if you run this script before you try to open the MC it will apparently fix the problem and let you in, sometimes it will not.
