ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Skip Back In Timeline

Aug 11, 2009

I'm having trouble with skipping back to frame 1 after having skipped forward to frame 2 using buttons. The button which is suppose to skip back won't work and the errormessage I get after previewing is:

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at page3/frame1()

Here's the code:

stop();
galBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {

[code]....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Skip Intro Then Go Back Error?

Feb 5, 2011

I have created a preloader for a video intro, with a skip button. This preloader is loaded inside the index.html file.When the user skips the intro video, he is forwarded to another page. This part works great.The problem is that if you ever go back to the index.html file after you skip the intro the flash file recognizes that the video is already downloaded, because it is partially downloaded because it begins to download before the user can press the 'Skip' button. I imagine this has to do with the fact that a partial file with the same name exists in cache.When the user clicks on the 'Skip' button I close the loader that was loading the video file like this:

loader.close();

Is this the problem? I thought that Flash automatically compared files.Is there any way to compare the file in cache on the users computer and have the file either resume or redownload if the file sizes don't correspond?

GotoAndPlay And Then Skip Frames In Timeline?

Jul 25, 2009

I 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Timeline Scrubber - Nothing Allows To Just Scrub Back And Forth On The Whole Timeline In The Exported Swf?

Aug 20, 2011

I've been looking for a tutorial to create a timeline scrubber (not animating specific movie clips, but actually a scrubber that can move along different keyframes of a timeline that has a series of images on it).I found a bunch of these (scrubber controlling specific movie clips): http:[url]....but nothing that allows you to just scrub back and forth on the whole timeline in the exported swf.

Linking Back To The Main Timeline?

Aug 26, 2010

I recently started creating a flash website from a template that was created back in 2004. I have very little knowledge of either AS 2.0 or AS 3.0. I am currently attempting to link my buttons that are in separate movieclips back to specific parts of the main timeline "scene 1". Currently when clicked, the buttons just cycle through the varying pages that have been created, "s1" , "s2" etc.

How do I link a movieclip/button back to "s8" in the main timeline?The AS 2.0(I think it's AS 2.0 anyway) that currently exists is as follows:

PHP Code:

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

[code]....

I understand what first rollOver and rollOut commands are and they work fine, but the "On (release)" doesn't seem to go where it needs to.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrolling Back And Forth On The Timeline?

Mar 30, 2003

I'm designing a page that is kind of like a photo album. You click on the next button to view the next image. The current image moves off to the left and the new one moves in from the right. Thats simple as its just sequential. But if i wanted to go back to the previous image in the same way with that one moving back to the right and the previous one moving back in from the left you obviously can't make the timeline go backwards can you?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Getting Back To Main Timeline In Loaded Ext. SWF

Jul 7, 2009

I have a project I'm working on where the user is presented with an overhead shot of a building and is able to mouse-over the different rooms to choose one to "enter." Once clicked, the chosen room is an external .SWF that is loaded that has options to view other external .SWFs within that room. Problem is, within the first loaded .SWF, I have a "home" button that is supposed to take the viewer back to the main overhead view but I can't get the AS to work. I've tried _parent and _root with no luck (not sure I even typed out right code).

As of now the code I have for the btn that jumps you back to the main timeline is:

Does _root.stop(24) need to be in quotes?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Target Button In Movieclip Back To Main Timeline?

Oct 1, 2009

I have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline. I feel like I am so close.
 
Also is this an ok way to set this up? I couldn't figure out how to do it in one frame. I didn't realize this basic framework was going to be so difficult.

On the last frame of my swf, I placed a loadClip("filename.swf", fileholder); using a MovieClipLoader object. Now it is successfully loading the external swf, I can see it, but it immediately jumps back to the first frame of the parent swf. Why is this happening?I have placed the fileholder movieclip in the same frame. Also, the moviecliploader code is not inside any container, it is just placed into the actions section as is, starting with moviecliploader declaration.

Professional :: Convert A Movie Clip Back To The Main Timeline?

Feb 23, 2011

The entire .fla animation consists of nothing but two really long movie clips. Which are placed on frames 1 and 2 of the main timeline. Now for reasons that are too deep for me to go into explaination about my boss is telling me that I have to have everything main timeline -no movie clips. I've tried copypasting all of the frames but they all paste wayyy to large on the main timeline and they wind up in different places on the stage.

How can I move all of the frames from my two movie clips onto the main timeline without everything breaking? Better yet - is there any way to just convert a movie clip into an .fla?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Navigating Back To Main Timeline Using A Button In A Movieclip?

Jul 14, 2009

I can get my menu buttons to move me around the timeline, but am at a loss as to how to move to a frame on the main timeline using a button within a movieclip that has it's own timeline.

So what I mean is that on the mian timeline, a movieclip graphic with a button in it drops down. This movieclip has it's own timeline, and any AS to control the button has to be in this timeline. So how do I tell it 'when the button is clicked, go BACK to frame X on the MAIN timeline?

Here's the AS on the main timeline for the menu buttons (how would I adapt it to apply to buttonX within movieclipZ?, and where would I put this extra code in my movie?):

function Nav(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Nav "+arguments)
switch(event.target.name){
case "gilbert": gotoAndPlay(72); break;

Flash 10 :: Timeline Play Doesn't Jump Back To First Frame?

Oct 10, 2011

I have two embedded flv's in the timeline, one after the other. There are no errors in the video files. When the "playhead" in the exported swf comes to the end of the two combined videoclips, it jumps back to the first frame of the 2nd video clip for a fraction of a second, before playing from the start of the timeline as it is supposed to. I have explicitly done a "gotoandplay(1) in a separate action layer, at the last frame of the "movie", but that's not what happens.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button In Nested Mc Needs To Jump Back To Main Timeline?

Mar 4, 2008

so i have a main timeline and a nested one. the main timeline has a button named "how_btn" that plays the nested mc (named "how"). once i get into playing "how", i have a button named "menu" that i want to bring the user back to the main timeline (where the "how" button is). this is how i scripted:

how_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("how");
}
menu_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndStop("nav");
}

the how button script works, however the menu button does not. is this b/c it's in a nested mc? i tried specifying the root, but that didn't do it either.
