View 1 Replieswhat i want to do is embed a video into a flash time lime, then once it is one the time line use frame labels to play different sections of the video.everything i have tried up to now just plays the video from the beginning.
i have used a stop at the beginning on a blank key frame but i dont want it to play the video from the beginning i need it start playing from about half way in.the first half of the video is being used on a different section.
I now how to use frame labels to play some part of MovieClip:
mc.gotoAndPlay("label1");
but is it possible to acces to frames INSIDE labels? i mean, i need gotoAndStop(25) (25 is last frame of that label)i only know this dont work:
Code:
mc.("label1").gotoAndStop(25);
I'm basically creating a huge slideshow presentation for a live show. I decided to put everything into 1 huge fla/swf so that it is more manageable in the future.With AS3, I have made it so that when the user presses the right arrow key, it will seek out the requested frame label and play the next slide.This works well.However,some of the frames need to be played again in later slides.So I would prefer to reuse those frames again, instead of copying and pasting them 10 times.When I do that though,I have no way of switching to the next slide, as I've already set the nextframetoplay variable in my class.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this? Should I perhaps create the screens and just create a holder and use addChild to play them instead of jumping to the frame labels?
I am using Flash CS5 on an iMAC, running OSX 10.6. I created a file that uses a Combobox on the first frame, and I would like to connect the buttons to go to and stop/play on multiple labels.
View 2 RepliesI am using anchor labels for a new site and it works good in firefox but in IE it is going though each anchor till it finds the correct one. You can see it going through the labels in the address bar and a clicking noise for each one, besides the fact its ugly it takes a while to go through them all. You can see it here -[URL]
View 1 RepliesI use scrollbar at the bottom of the timeline to go to different frames. This is slow if I have thousands of frames. I wonder if there is a similar interface like the Actions window for labels on timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts at left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be nice if you can see all your labels in a menu and click to go there directly (I believe Director has that). Maybe I can put some dummy script in different label and then I can use Action window to travel to there.
View 2 RepliesHow do I add a label to a button? Using a component button, in CS3 it seemed quite straightforward however CS4 has me stumped. I am trying to make up a website with a row of buttons across the top to appear in all the pages. I have a controling page names portfolio.fla and several other pages to link in with this one. I have placed a button in the library from the components tab in the windows tab. Then dragged out 5 buttons and have them all working properly and linking up to the other pages, but when I went to place labels on them found myself having problems. Clearly not a good day for me.

I have a button on the main stage, and a movieclip "qccontent". When the user presses the button, I am trying to check if the MC is on a specific frame label. The MC starts on a stopped frame labeled "closed".
Right now, each time the button is pressed, it currently goes and plays the label "closemenohit". It is not reading the first part.

if (_root.qccontent._currentframe("closed")) {

I've been looking at this for four days and not getting to a solution. I've got an xml file with patent data, and a .fla that needs to populate a dynamic array of buttons. I've got a trace statement that shows that the xml is loading, and the first button appears, so I know the linkage and naming are correct. But for some reason I don't understand the button labels don't populate with the xml data.
View 8 RepliesI've taken the "Keyboard Key Button" from the [Common Libraries > Buttons], copied the letter one several times on the stage, and am now trying to relabel the buttons so that they show the right letters via an Array.Here's what I have written thus far:

I've got a movieclip which contains 4 buttons and 4 labels.
The buttons work but once you've been past a label it won't go back to a previous label so it's just linear.
I'm using the following coding:
Buttons: arrow1, arrow2, arrow3, arrow4. And the labels are the same for each.
ActionScript Code:
PHP Code:
arrow1.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop("arrow1");
};
arrow2.onPress = function() {

I would like an .fla which has been completely composed/coded and allows the playhead to randomly jump to frame labels in a timeline so that I can see the code in action. I have tried many, MANY, methods and have failed. With little hair left, I humbly come to you for your wisdom... Perhaps I should mention the first frame in my movie contains a loader mc/script.
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash project with several labeled frames. The user will be doing a lot of moving about those frames, so I wanted to simplify my navigational interface code-wise. There are six buttons, I have attached functions to them like so:
Actionscript Code:
topnavbt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,lookUp);function lookUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
[code]...
...instead, I get "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "skylights" to flash.display.FrameLabel."
I can't seem to wrap my head around what these errors are saying, but I'm sure there's a simple solution I'm missing. I think I just don't know how to define the frame label correctly.
I've got some symbols (clips) placed in the main scene (all in the same second frame). They are all the same (it only changes the label inside of them). In the first frame of every symbol is a stop. Then, in the second frame is where I have labelled and that�s where I want them to start (after playing all the frames they should activate another random label in another symbol and go to frame 1). I want to put in the main movie (frame 1) a randomlabel pointing inside the label of a symbol. The symbols would be at frame2 of the scene. After activating the first label the would activate each other until a timer stops.
View 2 RepliesMy flash files is designed like this:
Layer 1 Pages with labels and actionscript for that specific layer (stop, gotoandplay, and Uiloader source)
Layer 2 is a Movieclip with a navbar
Layer 3 Dropdown menu where buttons are placed inside a movieclip
Layer 4 Actionscript
My problem is finding the correct way to link from a button inside a movieclip to a label inside another movieclip.
I've got a preloader file for a website which loads my main movie into an empty movie clip. I need to create different versions of the loader which load the same main movie but at different frame labels (each frame label is a section my site- about, contact etc.) Here is the relevent part of the actionscript for my preloader. I can't seem to get it to load to, for example, frame 3 which is a label called "credits"

I am starting to learn how to style components in Flash/AS3.
One of the things I unable to figure out is whether or not I can apply a filter/effect on the label of a component rather than on its skin.For example I want to have a button with a drop shadow applied on the text.
Still a newbie, I am trying to understand how labels work with buttons. So eventually, I can create a rollover effect and have a button on a menu either glow or have an effect.
So far just testing how labels work, I have made a movieclip with labels in it. Then made a test button to try to trigger movement from label to label. Nothing works. The movie clip simply runs over and over again.I have tried some tutorials, but using their as, still does not work.

How can I have two labels on a Flex button, one label on top and another on the bottom?
View 3 RepliesI've been trying for a while to set the number of labels being shown with a datetimeaxis being used for the y-axis. Unfortunately, I'm not able to get the desired behaviour.I'd like to have the y-axis separated into days (i.e. a tick on the axis for each day). However, it is spacing them out one week at a time. I have tried setting labelUnits and minorTickUnits to "days" but no joy.
<mx:DateTimeAxis id="vStepAxis" labelUnits="days" minorTickUnits="days" parseFunction="ParseDateForAxis" title="Date/Time"/>

View 0 RepliesI am trying to use anchor labels with a code like this[code]...
but this doesnt do anything, eventhough I have a anchor label named blue and can go directly to index.html#blue and it works. I was hoping to do this so that I can use the back button on the site.
I'm currently designing a website (Flash, Actionscript 2) using Frame Labels.The main nav bar has 4 link buttons, each one linking to a certain Frame Label e.g. 'Home', 'Gallery' etc. When you click on a link it will bring you to the frame label, play small animation and stop. The problem I am having is, when I click on a new link I would like the current scene to animate out and then go to the next chosen frame label. I basically want a smooth IN/OUT transition between links.
