How do you click a movieclip and then after clicking you will go to the next frame??
going to next frame i know is gotoAndPlay("frame name or number");
but do i have do name the movieclip with an instance?
Say that i have a variable called explosion when this variable is set to yes i'd like it so that whenever you press the screen with the left mouseclick it "creates" a movieclip where you clicked that in the library is named bomb (or duplicate the movieclip from off screen if that is easier)
View 2 RepliesI put a mcBtn in the end game frame, put this code in the frame:
mcBtn.buttonMode = true;
mcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playGame);
function playGame(e:Event):void {
play:(1);
}
The object is to go to frame 1 when you press mcBtn. When I click it, Nothing.
This time I'm experimenting with visibility. All the tutorials online vary a lot. I'm trying to find something noob proof. I have actionscript 2 and 3. I'm not sure which one to use..I'm just trying to learn how to make a frame become visible and Play when I click on a movieclip.
View 5 RepliesIve had a search through quite a few forums and message boards but havent quite been able to pin down what I need to do. I'm working in flash cs5 and using AS3
I have a button (bttn1) which when clicked plays a movieclip (bounce), but I would like it to play from frame 1 then stop on a desired frame(say frame 10), so when a second button is clicked (bttn2) it plays from frame 10. Hopefully i've explained it ok...
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")
[Code] .....
This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.

View 7 RepliesI would like to know how to make it so when you click a button, it goes to a different frame within a MOVIE CLIP. Kind of like gotoAndPlay but not a frame in the timeline. I would like it to move to a different frame in a movie clip.

View 4 RepliesI have four movie clips (.f4v) in 4 frames in a movie with watch buttons.. This movie has them been imported into a main movie container that has next and previous buttons.

View 1 RepliesI have a character, And in its movieclip I`ve got 3 frames (first has an idle pose, second a walking pose and third a running pose), each with a movieclip with an action in it.Well, what I wanted is that when I am walking with this character, and press the SHIFT key he runs.And I`ve got the following code
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))[code]....
But when I click the shift button, he shows the first frame static of the movie clip in frame 3 (running frame).
there is a button on 1st frame. there is a movie clip on frame 2. I named the movie clip as "ball_mc" I want to go to frame 2 when I click on button on 1st frame. I know that the code "gotoAndPlay(2);" on button will work. But for some reasons, i want to try another way.... i tried several codes:
1. this.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay();
2. _level.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay();
3. _global.ball_mc.gotoAndPlay();
4. _root.ball_mc.gotoandPlay();
However these codes dun work. Is there other way to resolve this besides this code "gotoAndPlay(2)"?
I have 5 different buttons for the navigation on my flash website.The first page is on frame one.When you click on any of the 5 buttons I want it to play frames 10 - 15 before moving to which ever frame the button 1-5 corresponds to. So:
Click on button 1 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 20
Click on button 2 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 30
Click on button 3 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 40 etc
How do I make this work?
I have a small flash site made up of a number of pages all on the one timeline.
The query is this. When i release a button i want the timeline to roll on for x frames (fading components out) before going to the frame that button links to (The beginning of the new page).
I have no idea what AS to use for this.
No matter where in the timeline you are, the button should fade out that area and then skip to a new one.
I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.

View 2 RepliesI'd like my Flash site to be bi-lingual. What I have currently is a Flash movie with an empty Movie Clip which then allows users to go from movie to movie. The movies are all small movieClips that are loaded into the empty movieclip on demand. There is some video and text in each of the 30 movieClips.
Here is sample of code that i'm using to call up next MovieClip.

My solution for the bilingual version is to create a separate frame with the French version + video and then when user presses the French button they are directed to that frame. This way I could easily create the French text within the one movie. however i don't know the Actionscript code to call up a movieClip to play from frame 10, and not frame 1.

View 6 RepliesI was having trouble even knowing quite what to search for so I figured asking a question in a forum would be the best way to go. Currently I am making an application where I have multiple movieclips of equal duration on multiple frames. For example, movieclip_1 is on frame 1 and is 40 frames long. There is currently a scrub bar that scrubs through the 40 frames of movieclip_1. On frame 1 of the Scene there are also buttons with the actions to gotoAndStop on frame 2, frame 3, and frame 4. Frame 2 contains movieclip_2, frame 3 contains movieclip_3, and so on. The functionality of this is that it shows medical conditions progressing from different angles and when a button is clicked the display shows a close up of just that one angle. As expected, without any actions on the movieclips navigating from one frame to the next brings up the proper new movieclip but they always begin at frame 1. What I would like to be able to do is somehow have my movieclips know what frame they are on so when a button is clicked the application would go to that frame and open that movie clip to the same frame as the previous one that was just navigated from.
View 3 RepliesI got a MovieClip filled with a lot of others clips... When I change de X or Y value of this first MovieClip the frame rate slows down for during 1 frame. For exemple... I created a counter that returns around 30 mseconds every frame, but when I do this X or Y change the return is around 400 mseconds... When I try to fill the first MovieClip with less information it goes faster, about 100+-200 mseconds...

I want my MovieClip to play from frame 5 to frame 30 and then stop. How can I do this?
View 5 RepliesWhat I am doing in my mind at least seemed fairly straight forward. What I have: 3 KEY FRAMES:
1st key frame: just some text 'objective 1'
2nd key frame: just some text 'objective 2'
3rd key frame: just some text 'objective 3'
All i want to do is have an arrow that when pressed will move from frame 1 > frame 2 then frame 2 to frame 3 when the relevent information has been read. I have tried google and played around I just cant seem to get it to work
I am trying to link a button to go to a certain part of the timeline. As I am aware all you have to do is go to the button, actions > code snippets > timeline navigation > click to go to frame & play, and then type in the frame number in your code of which frame you want it to go to. I did all of this and it does nothing.
View 3 RepliesThis may be a really simple question but I'm trying to go to a frame on the timeline which has a movieClip object in it and then goto a specific frame in that movieClip and I can't figure out how to code it. I thought something like:
gotoAndPlay("movieClipframe");
this.theMovieClip.gotoAndPlay("theFrame");
but I get a null reference error.Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong or if I'm?
