ActionScript 2.0 :: Rewind The Timeline With A Button?
Sep 26, 2006
I am doing a postcard flip and would like to rewind my timeline when a button is released. I tried to modify the complexbutton but didn't really get the effect that I was after.
What I am trying to do 1) when the movie opens, I have an arrow to the right, what I want to happen is, when it is clicked, the movie plays and stops at the last frame, easy enough.
2)When the movie is on the last frame there is another button, and when that one is clicked, I want thee movie to reverse. It can't be that hard, can it?

I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote:
ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code:
stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....

What I need its a way to control my timeline forward and rewind. To make it easy to explain I will make a example: Imagine that you have a movie (cars crossing a street - with trucks and buses too). Sometimes there is just cars on the street, sometimes just trucks. I should paste this movie into my timeline(like image sequence), in the background of my application. In other layer will be informations, in this example, about trucks and cars. Till this point ok. But I need to make the movie go to the frame that I choose to be the image of the movie that only have cars.
Okay ... this is in frame 15 of the movie. Then I click a button and go to show trucks info. I click and go to frame 30... at this point ok too. But now I click again to see about cars. Its in frame 15 and I don't want to "JUMP" (like gotoandstop)... I want the movie rewinds (in the speed that it plays) till I get frame 15. How do I control the timeline like this? (There will be at least 6 points in this movie that i want to stop by. And this movie begins stopped.)

I am using the following code to perform a rewind on the timeline when a button is pressed:On the REWIND button:
Code:
on(release){
rewState = true;[code].....
My question is, can I limit the rewind feature to just 12 frames at a time? Right now it rewinds back to the beginning, totally skipping all the stop(); commands on the timeline. I've tried for, do, and while loops in various places (one nearly froze my computer up!) with no luck.
update: I've added the following to the code so the user can at least stop the rewinding:
Code:
on(rollOver){
rewState = true;
}[code]....
but the thing moves forward in 12frame intervals.It is wierd having it move in reverse freely like this. So I am still looking for a way to get it to move the timeline backwards in 12 frame intervals...

I am having a fair amount of trouble trying to control prevFrame on the timeline, with a play/rewind type motion. Basically, what I want to do is navigate between 3 keyframes on the timeline with 'next' and 'prev' buttons controlling it. I have no problem navigating forward, but when the previous button is pressed on the last keyframe, it just rewinds to the first keyframe. I have stop(); commands on each keyframe, but it seems to skip over the second keyframe when rewinding. The buttons are present throughout the length of the timeline. Here are my actions for the first frame;

i have some script that i am using to play an mc timeline on rollover and rewind the mc on rollout, but my problem is that i want to add an onRelease action that takes the mc to an specific frame within the mc. thing is that the onRollout action cancels out the onRelease action and rewinds the mc regardless. this is the script that i have on the first frame of the mc

I'm using CS4 with AS3 and have a little problem with my rewind and forward buttons. For the play and stop buttons it works fine with this script:
playButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playButtonClick);
function playButtonClick (e:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
[Code]....
I get error messages.
All I need is to rewind and forward the movie about 50 frames and keep playing without stopping.

I made a vertical list of thumbnails and converted them into a movie clip. There is a total of 20 thumbnails. I masked the movie clips so that it only shows 5 thumbnails at a time. I created keyframes at every point in the clip that 5 thumbnails are shown so that I can pause it.I was trying to use this code to scroll down from the first set of 5 to the second:
on (release) {
design_thumbnails.gotoAndPlay (20)
}
When I click the button nothing happens I'd also like to know how to rewind the movie so that when I press the up arrow it goes up to the previous set of 5.

I am creating a video player with my own buttons, play stop are easy, but I can't for the life of me get it to rewind or start again (not loop). It may be worth noting that the flash video is store within a movie clip! The flv instance is flv_close and the movie instance is mv_close.

I was told that putting code on buttons is bad practice now. So, I'm trying to move my button codes to my main actionscript frame. I did it find with the play and stop/pause buttons. However, the rewind and forward buttons are proving more difficult How would the code look if I transferred it from my button to my actionscript frame I'll post the code I have right now in my rewind button.
on(press){this.onEnterFrame = function(){frame = theTargetClip_mc._currentframe;theTargetClip_mc.gotoAndPlay(frame-6);}}on(release){ theTargetClip_mc.play();delete this.onEnterFrame; }rect" answers.

I'm loading an external .swf using the following code:
voiceover = new Sound ();voiceover.loadSound("Audio/Test.mp3", true);
The audio plays fine. My question is how can I create a pause, resume, rewind, or fast forward button for an external mp3?

Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

I'm attempting to make a rewind function, but have no idea where to start.
I have a movie that spans over 60 frames and rotates. I would like the user to be able to click a button and make the movie rewind and tween to go to that frame.
For example, if the movie is on frame 55 and the user clicks a button, I want to movie to tween backwards (frame 54, frame 53, frame 52, etc etc) until it gets to frame 45.

previous_r1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,prev iousr1);
function previousr1(event:MouseEvent):void {

I'm sure this is probably something simple, but sometimes when I double click a button on the stage to enter its timeline, I don't get the up, over, down, hit, timeline. I just get a timeline that looks like a regular layer.
