I animated eyes blinking inside of a movie clip symbol and placed the symbol on a face outside of the symbol.The eyes are stuck on the first frame. I am using CS5. What do I do?
View 5 RepliesI have a scrollout menu for my flash movie, but each of the buttons have to be movies symbols. I try to attach:
on (release) {
gotoand stop(4)
}
But I get the error that this script only works for buttons. Anyone able to lend some assist? I suck at actionscript.
I have a button on my stage its a movie clip I also have a symbol in my library that is also a movie clip with a small animation inside it. It is not the button.
I am trying to use the button to bring the symbol out of the library onto the stage then when I click the button again it will remove the symbol from the stage.
I am currently working on a project where I create explosions on the screen by adding the movieclip symbol explosion to the main timeline via:
addChild(explosion);
I am trying to figure out how to dynamically remove the explosion (make it eligible for garbage collection) when it is done playing the animation of the explosion.
I have tried parent.removeChild(this) within the symbol itself and that throws an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Is there any way to have a movieclip remove itself? If not is there a way to call a function in the actionscript code explosion exports to? Or maybe there is a way to call a function in the main timeline?

View 3 RepliesIn AS3 you can add script to a movie clip symbol. But in AS3 you cannot, correct?
So what do you do in AS3? What is the "correct" way of coding, lets say, characters or objects in a game? Or more specifically, where is the correct place to put the code for each character or item?
So, I have this file with a couple buttons. When each button is clicked it opens an external swf image. While the external swf is loading a preloader shows 1...100. I want to have a movie symbol also show up while the external swf is loading. How would I do that? Can I have it only show when the event starts, then have it disappear when the event completes..
I have my two buttons on one layer, actions on a second layer, and preloader counter on third layer.

View 2 RepliesI made a very nice movie clip that now resides in the library of my current working fla. I have an external class controlling it and all is fine.
However, I want to use this movie clip in another fla file as well. The method i have used now is to have both projects open, then manually copy the movie clip from one to the other.
Like exporting a movie clip to an "external file-database of movie clips" for importing it in other projects?

I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?
View 1 RepliesI've created a movie clip symbol with it's own animation on its timeline. I've placed this symbol onto the first frame of the main timeline but when I test it, it doesn't play. There's no stop actions or anything on either timelines so I'm not sure why this is happening. I thought that the animation in a movie clip symbol will automatically play (i.e. if you test in a browser) once it's on the main timeline - is this right? Or am I doing something wrong. Maybe I need to tell it to play?

View 4 RepliesI have a movie clip symbol that is about 8 frames long. I am staggering it 14 times throughout scene one, with varying times.My problem is that it plays once then disappears (I added actionscript on the last frame in the symbol movie clip). I would like it to play then keep the last frame displayed in scene one until a specific keyframe (60). Not have the movie clip instance loop, rather show the image that is on its last frame.
View 9 RepliesI'm creating a Flash interactive thing which is basically a couple minute animated intro and then a menu of products to choose from. You click on one of 12 products and get a little animation about how it works. So my question is where to put these 12 product animations? I was originally thinking to just put them in the main timeline and just jump to them with labels but I'm thinking that the timeline is going to get too hairy, it's already got a lot. Now I'm wondering what the best approach should be. Should I produce 12 external SWF movies to be loaded when clicked on, or should I just make each product animation an internal movie symbol and just add an instance from the library to my main timeline? Or is there any other approach that might be better for some reason?
View 5 RepliesI have a button inside a movie clip symbol.
I have scripted it to go to the next scene but all it does is replay the movie clip.
So I'm trying to set the width and height of a movie clip symbol. Initially, on the stage the movie clip is set to w = 400, h = 350. Whenever I load a 400x350 image on the clip (from a button), it looks way too wide. So I tried to fix this by adding setproperties for width and height on the action for the button.
