I am editing a .FLA file that has been given to me. I would like to have the movie jump frames (skip frames) to cut out a part of the movie so I do not have to edit the time line. What is the Action Script that I should use?
Right now on the frame I want it to jump from I have
gotoAndPlay(8220);
This does not seem to be doing the job.
lets say when a button is released, it will play from frame 1 to 10 then it will skip the 11th frame then go to the 12th frame btw, the 11th frame has a stop action script on it
View 8 RepliesI am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.
The following is a scenario, but not script:
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20:
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22.
I am currently doing this in a different way.
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So...
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.
Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?
I'm creating a flash game which uses time intervals with setInterval and sometimes does heavy calculations. The problem is that on slower machines these calculations can't keep up with the framerate and the movie slows down BUT the timers are unaffected what makes them asynchronous to the movie. Looking back, it was a bad idea to use timers but I can't change it back now. So...is there a way to skip drawing frames?
View 2 RepliesGame I'm making slows to half the speed when there's a ot going on. I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of a lot of that whe I optimize it, but is there some way of telling flash to skip frames when things get slow?
If not, was thinking I might be able to change the speed of the character so when the frame rate drops to half they get twice as fast.
I need to create a button that will make a movie clip slide over 24 frames from the current frame the movie is on when the button is clicked. How I can do this with actionscript?
View 7 Replieshow to make my "animation" (more of an interactive slideshow) skip forwards and backwards by two frames rather than one.
Each frame's action starts with stop(); and I know how you can implement the Action script to register keystrokes, the problem is I can't get how to jump by 2 rather than 1 frame at a time.
It would be preferable not to have to use gotoAndStop(#); on every 2nd frame as I have over 350+ frames.
I've got some tabs that are filled with an XML attribute named tekst. Now with some basic actionscript, I do a check t see if any attributes are undefined. If so, leave the dynamic textfield blank and set the _alpha of that specific tab at 0; this all works fine.
The only thing I want to achieve is, when say only tabs 1 and 2 are filled, I want to start the animation over after tab 2 has finished. At the moment the animation plays all 5 tabs and then starts over.
I tried a 'simple' myMC.gotoAndPlay(5), but this didn't work. (5 is the framenumber from which the animation must start). I thought maybe I'm calling something that isn't there, so I tried only gotoAndPlay(5); this didn't work either, because my MC with all the animations is not on the .root timeline.
I was following this tutorial: [URL] To make the buttons feel more smooth, can anyone modify the Actionscript to make it so that the animation on the "over" label not skip even if the mouse is no longer on the button or rerolls on the button too early? (In other words, let the "over" animation finish even if the mouse leaves the button, thus letting it finish before it goes and animate the "out" label). I hope that isn't too confusing.

I have a movieclip in the main stage that has several frames. Then, I created a separate layer for the code that goes like this:
Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextPage);
function nextPage(e:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);
}
Except for the last frame, which does not contain this code, seems to perform as expected. However, when I called up the same movieclip again by having it go back to a certain frame:
Code:
tutorial_MC.gotoAndPlay("2");
And the whole stuff seems to work fine, when I click and expecting the frame to go to the next, it seems to skip one frame and land on the other instead. For example, if I'm on frame 16 it'll jump to 18, then 20, and so forth. I tried other alternatives but they all seem to yield the same result.
I need a skip intro link in my movie that, when clicked, goes to the last frame of the movie and plays it.

Shouldn't the pre-loader skip and jump to the animation if the intended animation loads? Is this tutorial doing that?
I can't tell if that's happening. My animation is very light but it seems to be going through the entire preloader whether or not the animation is fully loaded or not.
basically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesWhen you click on a link, it takes you (_self) to an "in-between" page that contains another Flash movie (that tells customer to be sure to come back to our page in the future). This Flash movie is coded so that it automatically opens a new window (_blank) to a different site. Then, HERE IS WHERE I HAVE MY PROBLEM, the original page (which is now hidden behind the new window) redirects you (_self) back to the homepage. SOOOO, when your on the new window, you can hear the lady's voice in the background.
NOW, what I want to do is to pass a variable so that, when you get redirected back to the homepage, it skips the lady speaking and goes directly to the looping slideshow.For example, "if F=1, gotoAndPlay(346);"I know that's not proper actionscript, I'm just saying what I have in mind.I've never passed variables before, so the more detailed the better.Note: I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 (.asp)
I have a movie that plays as an introduction. If a user wants to skip the movie and go to frame 225 but continue playing the movie then I thought I would use this code:

what actually happens is the movie skips to frame 225 but then stops. Now if I leave the movie to play from the start it will get to 225 and continue playing... strange??? Yes... Here is the file:

1. Can skip "Exporting SWF Movie" step once i successfully exported and built an swf.I dont need to to export & built it every time when there are no code/design changes. Wasting lot of time to export to swf file. Can I skip and run already built swf from CS4 workspace directly?
2. Is there any commandline/scripting provisions is available in CS4 to automate the exporting/publishing part. So that i can run the script to publish a swf?
Is it possible in a way to regulate the frames per second of a movie that is displayed within a movie? As far as I can see one can define FPS at design time, but if a movie that is loaded by that movie, it automatically runs as fast or slow as the movie that actually calls it. Is there a way to slow a movie down or make it speed up, independently from the movie that calls it?
View 2 RepliesI have a movie with various movie clips on certain frames.What I want is the playhead to randomly jump to different frames I specify within the movie after each Movie clip has played. So at the end of each movie clip there would be a random script forcing the playhead to play another movie clip randomly. My movie has 100 frames but I only want the random sequence to occur on the following frames 10, 13, 25, 86, 75, 56.Or If I labelled the frames how would I label them?? Would they all have to have the same label, or each label different?

I finished my work in a long movie, 300 frames, with alot of internal movie clips and action scripts. Now, I need to add frames to the movie, but many action script codes will not work again after adding these frames, because they are pointing to defined frames, like the following code:gotoAndPlay(32);So, I want a method to add frames and keep these codes working! Are there any method to do that?

I'm trying to make a series of 16 short movies loop infinitely in a random order. I have a master movie clip called "random_mov" that has 17 frames. In frame one is an action:gotoAndStop(1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 17));Frames 2 - 17 are my individual movies (movie1, movie2, movie3, etc...), one per frame. The code above does seem to work, but it only works once, looping a randomly selected frame forever. I need it to go back to frame one after each movie is complete so it can select another random frame

I can target a movie from another movie just fine, but for some reason when I try to target a specific frame within a movie, from another movie that I'm already in, it will not work. All it does is replay the movie that I'm in. I've tried a million different combinations of code, searched the internet repeatedly, but found nothing that has worked; and I'm about to throw my computer out the window! I know this should be ridiculously simple but... I can't get it!
I'll try and explain what I'm trying to do in a simpler way: I have my Root > One >> Onetwo, Onethree. Onetwo and Onethree are in the movie One, and One is on the main level/root. I want a specific frame in Onethree to gotoAndStop on a frame in Onetwo. I know it sounds confusing but it's a terribly simple thing -- my code's just not working. I would copy and paste what I'm doing but I've done every single combination imaginable to me so I'd rather just have someone here tell me how they would accomplish this.
I've set up my flash movie to play and stop at certain frames in the movie. I'd like to add a pause button to pause the movie anywhere in the timeline or animation and then resume from spot it's paused on. This is for a presentation.
View 1 RepliesI make a button with some animated effects. On main work area I select object and press F8 to convert button with the name of (button1). The Up as it is which I make: w=70, h=50. Press F6 and same button on Over, here I again select object and press F8 and convert to Movie Clip. Here I insert 10 frames, one by one the button extend width and height. On 10th frame the button size 110x90 width and height. To animate and stop the button I put "stop" action on frame 10.I want that if the user's mouse over on button than the 10 frames play as I mentioned above but if the user don't want to click on (button1) than all of these 10 frames play reverse or add more frames and button will go to their original size and place. Is there any script bcuz I am new and don't know about action scripts.
