I am trying to play a nested movieclip by clicking on a button. I have an instance name for the nested moviclip, and this is the code I atatched to the button:
on (release) {
_root.conference.gotoAndStop(35);
}
Nothing happens when I click the button with that code. However, if I take out the instance name, the button will play the frame specified:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(220);
}
im making an intereactive map and i have certain areas in the map where you can click and a video pops up so you can view real footage of the area. I just need help making the video pop up like how to import it and whatnot.
View 1 Repliesi followed this script which plays my images randomly. but now i want them to play in sequence on clicking the button. what changes should i made.
random_btn.onRelease=function(){
var picNum:Number;
picNum=Math.ceil(Math.random()*20);
photos.gotoAndStop("img"+picNum);
photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
I have a button on the stage called 'play_btn' and a movieclip called 'movie_mc'. The movieclip has a stop on it's first fame so that it doesn't play on the main timeline. I want to use actionscript to have the movieclip play when the button is clicked.I know i need to do some kind of movie_mc.gotoAndPlay('2') on the button or something like that.
View 1 RepliesI want to play the music file in flash player (which is embedded obviously) by clicking the play button which is in the web page (not in flash player).
View 2 RepliesI'm making a project, So I've got several questions..
-How do I make the Movie play or pause by the click of a keyboard or a mouse button?
-How do I Open another SWF within the SWF (loadMovieNum doesn't work anymore )
And last question is How do I move the "video app" I actionscript'd and make it larger . Here's the code I used to put the "video app".
Code:
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
camera.setMode(550,400,60,true);
// setMode(videoWidth, videoHeight, video fps, favor area)
// Now attach the webcam stream to a video object.
var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);
I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem trying to get some nested movie clips to play. I have three movie clips on three different layers all on frame one of the parent layer. each layer has a labIe (well just call it "layer1", "layer2. "layer3") I have a stop command on the parent level (on its own layer). each of the three movie clips has its own animation (the nested animation). The lower two have a stop command in their first frame(nested) so they wont play. Only the top movieclip would play on run. I want to place a gotoandplay command in the nested timeline of the above movie, that will start to play the next lower movie clip nested timeline, as the above one is ending, and repeat this process to cylce back around to the top movieclip. The overall goal is to have one animation move into the other using nested timeline smoothly.

I have been trying to deal with sound attachment. Attached is the source file that i am dealing with(I deleted the sound files because the size is too big): Simply, i have to click on the objects first before clicking on the play button. Each objects i clicked represents a different sound and will be stored in the array. So i will be clicking the objects in sequence and when i click on the play button, the music will play. Now comes the problem with my coding, I was unable to let my music coming out one by one at the time in sequence.

I have a nested movie clip (image sequence) that I use the code snippet from Flash CS5 to GoToAndPlay. The Movie Clip loops continuously. How do I get it to play once and stop. I've tried the snippet for GoToAndStop, I've tried stop(); in my 'Actions' layer. I've tried a stop(); in the last frame of my nested sequence. I've tried a stop at the end of the function but nothing stops the darn thing. It keeps going and going and going.
Here is my typical code that loops....
stop();
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
function cd_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1); }
btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame);
function ef_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(10); }
There are two(2) buttons on the page, basically and back and forward button, and the image sequence is nested in a movie clip in this case at frame (1) and another nested movieclip at frame (10). How can I make it play once and stop on the last frame of the nested clip?
I'm creating a website by splitting up the main timeline into the different pages of the site. I'm trying to make a dropdown menu on the 3rd frame. On a layer called buttons I have a button with the instance name patientnumberbtn. I want that when you roll over this button is tells the menu to drop. The movie clip for the menu is nested on its own layer of the main timeline. I would like to play this nested timeline, (the drop down menu has masks and other animations that are moving around). This movieclip that everything is nested in has an instance name of patientnumbermenu. Here is what I am using for code.
patientnumberbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE _OVER,patientnumber_over);
function patientnumber_over(event:MouseEvent):void
{
patientnumbermenu.play();
}
When I run it there is an output error #1009 but it still lets me proceed. When I roll over patientnumberbtn, nothing happens. Within the patientnumbermenu I have stop commands to prevent it from playing when we first reach frame 3 of the main timeline. I've removed these commands and the patientnumbermenu will play even though the commands used to get to frame 3 is a gotoAndStop(); command.
I want to do this: When the mouse is between two y-coordinates, let's say 40 and 50, a movieclip is supposed to be moved. How should I do this?

I am trying to design a menu system that pops up which I have just about managed. however nested in the menu movie clip are a number of other movie clips which I want to use as buttons but I am having problems getting the movie clips to load a swf once clicked. I tried putting a button in side the menu movie clip and it would not even recognize the mouse over which makes me think you can not nest buttons or movie clips in another movies clip?
Here is the code
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.Event;
menuMC.flowerB.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("test.swf", 1999);

I'm having problems getting my interface to work. I've set up a simple animation inside a MovieClip, and at one point it diverges into two different paths (like a Choose Your Own Adventure). Trouble is, I need people to be able to click on different nested MCs, and none of them work because I think Flash takes every click as being on the parent clip. The nested clips are on the top layer of the parent clip.
How can I get Flash to recognise these clicks and react accordingly? It should be so simple, but it isn't!
I've tried putting the buttons outside and on top of the parent clip so they override it, but it stuffs up the rest of the animation, because they're visible on the stage the whole way through and I've got everything on one frame so I can't make it transparent until needed. (Even if I could, they take up most of the screen, so you'd constantly be clicking on them accidentally.)
I built a button, but as a movie clip. It's nested with in another movie clip on the main timeline. How do I go about targeting the button?- when I have it on the main timeline, it works fine. But once it's nested. The action script can't find it.
Here is the code I'm using:
btn1.onRollOver = function () {
this.gotoAndPlay("in");
} btn1.onRollOut = function () {
this.gotoAndPlay("out")
}
I created a MovieClip and added it to the stage(addChild). Next, I created a Button (exactly BaseButton) and I added it to the MovieClip.The case is it won't show up.

But I want it to show up in my MovieClip and I dont know what I am doing wrong =[.The addChild is working because when I

I've made a flash movie which will load four movie clips at runtime. Actually, the number of movie clips will depend upon number of "NODE" in XML file. Keeping XML file thing aside, I've tried hardcoded values; 4. Let me describe you the structure very well: There is a main empty movie clip, instance name "mc_scroll" which will be only item on stage. In this movie clip, another movie clip whose identifier name is "blueMovie" will be loaded dynamically. Inside this "blueMovie" MC, there is a button instance name is "blueButton" and inside this button there is a "Dynamic Text" field instance name is "btn_text".
mc_scroll->blueMovie->blueButton->btn_text
Now, I can load 4 or any number of "blueMovie" inside "mc_scroll". But I also want to set the button text for each button inside each MC!! But its not working. Below is the code:
Code:
//INSIDE THE MAIN TIME LINE
for(i=0; i<4; i++) {
txt="blue"+i;
mc_scroll.attachMovie("blueMovie", txt, mc_scroll.getNextHighestDepth(), {_y:50*i+5, _x:5});
mc_scroll.txt.blueButton.btn_text.text = txt;

I have created a world map that has each region of the world as a rollover. When you rollover the US, for example, it turns red and a movieclip pops out to display some info...it's basically a graphic I created in Illustrator that is a rectangle with info written on it.
The rollover works fine and everything pops out, but when you move the cursor close to the popout, it thinks you have rolled off the US. When you hit the edge it pops in and out almost like it is blinking.
How can I make it so that they are one hit area? Here is some of the code:
na_mc.buttonMode=true;
setChildIndex(na_mc,0);
na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

I have a button inside a movieclip. When the button is clicked I want it to make a movieclip in the main timeline go to a specific frame. what's the code I need to use to define that movieclip located on the main timeline? Right now I have my code written inside the movieclip where the button is located because I have multiple buttons on multiple frames, and I don't know the syntax to define a button in a specific frame inside a movieclip.
Here's my current coding...
Code:
Select allfunction bwbtn2(btn:SimpleButton,frame:Number) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function() {photobw_img.gotoAndStop(frame);});

I have several products I want to animate with graphics and text individualy then stack them on a time line for output with play and pause buttons. Is there a tutorial somwhere that shows you how to do this? and how do I stop the entire animation on a frame, I don't understand "not_set_yet"
View 4 RepliesCan a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.
I have a movieclip called 'mcBox'. and I have a button called 'playBtn'all that I want to happen is when you click the button the movieClip plays, so simple, but really finding it hard to get to work. This is what I have
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick);
function onPlayClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
mcBox.play();
}
I know it's the 'mcBox.play();; part but can;t figure what it is?
so i know how to make a movieclip play from a button but how do you do it just by inserting an action at a keyframe? i have a keyframe at frame 5 with the action
squaresRedMovieclip.gotoAndPlay(2);
but it doesn't work. I want the movieclip 'squaresRedMovieclip' to start playing at frame 2. but it doesn't work. am i meant to add some extra code that i'm not aware of?
I have a simple actionscript 3 problem I cant solve. Basically I have a movieclip, with inside it an imported FLV on the timeline. I placed the Movieclip on the stage with an instance name "animation" and next to it a button with an instance name of "btn_1", that will activate the movieclip to start playing when you hover over it. I figured that it should be something like this.
Code: Select all
btn_1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , btn_1_ROLLOVER);
function btn_1_ROLLOVER (e:MouseEvent):void
{
play the movieclip here
}
I tried a load of different codes trying to get this work, but I can't get it done. Can anyone help me out with this?
