[Code]....

How to target a label within a movie clip on the main timeline, from a button within another movieclip on the maintimeline.
View 0 RepliesIf I have a movieclip on the main timeline, and a button in that movie clip. How would I go about getting it to advance the main timeline to its next frame? I understand that in AS3 movie clips are not connected to the timeline in the same way as they are in AS2 but I dont understand why the following works, or if there is a better way?
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent) {
MovieClip(this.root).nextFrame();
}

Code:
whoweare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, whoweareClick);
function whoweareClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay("whoweare");
}
I'm assuming it's something with the gotoAndPlay function... but I've tried numerous things with that and nothing is working.

The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.
View 5 RepliesI have a narrated fla which needs to have an audio mute button so you can mute the audio, problem is I can only find how to do with streaming audio. I need this done off a button where the audio is on a layer inside the timeline.
View 10 RepliesI have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

View 1 RepliesI created a Movie Clip with a button inside it. The Movie Clip contains simple animation within its timeline. I dragged the Movie Clip to the main stage and tested the movie/ My goal is to have the button start the animation inside the Movie Clips timeline but it is not working.The Movie Clip instance is named 'film_mc' and the button inside it is named 'first_btn.' The frame is labeled 'one'. I tried these two Action Scripts that I put on the main timeline. Where am I going wrong?
film_mc.first_btn.onRelease=function(){
film_mc.gotoAndPlay("one");

Is it useful to use MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(Is there any other way to change main timeline?
I'm having a bit of a hard time with calling a function in the main timeline through a button in a movieclip. The mc is in the main timeline and in it I added a button with this.removeMovieClip(); and so far it works, but when I try to call a function from the main timeline it just doesn't seem to work.
View 13 RepliesI have a movie clip on the main stage- inside that movie clip is a button- I want that button to contol a function on the main timeline-

****don't know what to put here to activate "closeAllOpenMovieClips" function on main stage****

Hiding Button on Main Timeline from inside separate Movieclip
View 1 RepliesI've created a movieclip with buttons inside that I want to use to navigate to different scenes on the main timeline. I have created a function() that loads the button movieclip into the main timeline, but if I try to write a function() to activate the button and move the main timeline to a different scene/frame label it doesn't work. I have tried various things:
navBack_mc.book_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop("book1");
}
I put the code above on the main timeline. It doesn't seem to work. Basically, I could put just an on(release) handler on the buttons, but I wanted to try to keeping all the AS in one place if I can.

I'm using the preloader like the one rhamej posted here:[URL]The part of the code I need help with is as follows:
[AS]
//fire the MovieClipLoader and attach the listener to it
var container1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container1.addListener(mclListener);
[code]....
I realize the code is wrong. I wondered if it was possible after loading an external .swf ("1_movie.swf") within the container, if you could then press a button (enter_button) located within the external .swf ("1_movie.swf") , and use the preloader code to load another external .swf on release ("tree20.swf"). I'm having trouble because the preloader code is in the main timeline of my main flash file ("index.fla"), and I don't know how to make the preloader code recognize the button located within the external .swf, and use it to load another external .swf within the same movie clip.

I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame.
mc_1 is on frame 1
mc_2 is on frame 40
mc_3 is on frame 81
as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other.

after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (frame) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.
I know how to do off a button
but there is no buttons, the action needs to happen when the playhead reaches the last frame of the main timeline in main.fla
The site has 6 pages: home, contents, contact, about, showreel, corporate. I have a panoramic photograph as a background across all my pages. When a button,such as contact, is clicked the timeline is enabled and scrolls across the panoramic to the 'contact' area of the photograph.I have a few questions relating to how I can achieve this. 1.) On my actions layer I have this code on frame one: stop(); enter_site_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonCLicked); function buttonClicked (event:MouseEvent):void { play(); } So when you mouseClick the timeline plays and goes to the next stop point on the timeline which is the contents section. On the contents page are the buttons which lead to the other sections. So far I have this code: stop(); about.btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked) corporate.btn.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked) showreel.btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked) contact.btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonCLicked)
Each of the buttons work, but I want the timeline to play and go to the page which corresponds to the button which is clicked, not just to play the timeline until the next stop point. Is there a code which would enable the timeline to play and go to the correct section, and not just roll without a target? 2.) I also want to be able to write a code which enables the timeline to move to any section in the same amount of time. What I mean by this is that if it takes 2 seconds (48 frames) to go from the first section to the second section, I also want it to take 2 seconds to go from the second section to the sixth section (240 frames)
I'm loading an external swf into a project and I want to be able to start and stop the loaded swfs timeline at will.... I'm loading swf into an MC: loadMovie("myFile.swf", swfHolder_mc);
View 1 RepliesI have this project that will basically work like a slideshow. I am trying to do things the right way and avoid scenes so I am building each slide as a separate mc and then placing them on the main timeline. What I'm trying to do is get the playback head to advance to the next frame on the main timeline once the mc reaches its last frame. I have found code that works but it seems pretty ghetto:
var _root:MovieClip = MovieClip(root)
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, text2);function text2 (myevent:Event):void { _root.gotoAndStop("slide2");}
I guess I have two basic questions:
1. What is the proper way to target a frame on the main timeline from within a mc in as3?
i have a problem with tell targeting. basically i have two mc on the main timeline and one(MC1) has a button burried in it. i want that button to tell the other mc (crystal) to play a label "editions" inside it.
my code is:
on (release) {
_root.crystal.gotoAndPlay("editions");
[code]....
I have a MC with buttons in it. When the button is pressed, I need to tell another MC to go to a marker on its timeline. Do i target the MC name (from the library) or the instance name? would it be something like Code: _root.mc1.mc2.mc3.gotoAndPlay("label");
View 4 Repliesi have a problem with tell targeting. basically i have two mc on the main timeline and one(MC1) has a button burried in it. i want that button to tell the other mc (crystal) to play a label "editions" inside it.[code]but it only works when the crystalMC is on the first frame of the root.is there a way of telling the root to move to the position of the first mc and then play a label inside that mc?
View 1 RepliesI have 10 MC that are generated inside of a for loop. Each MC got another MC inside of it that is already sitting on the stage and has it's own instance ame applied! After that I put them inside of a MC container, that I also add dinamicly through the addChild method! But I have one issue when I want to change the position of the child MC(one that is sitting on the stage), through targetting to it's instanceName! The code I use:
Code:
var box1_mc:Box1 = new Box1();
var ball1_mc:Ball1;
var balls:Array = new Array();
