I need to make some animation working without changing its structure, but I have no idea how to control mc instances on diffrent frames and diffrent movie clips. Below is example.When button is clicked, mc2 starts to play.
View 2 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is have my Flash piece have custom elements set by an XML file. I'm using ColorTransform. I have a piece that's loaded as a separate movie clip, and I can't figure out how to get to the piece and apply the ColorTransform.
Here's one example of what I'm doing for a different element on the same mc.

So, in this example, I'm setting header_mc to a color specified in the xml. In the case I'm having trouble with, I want to set a color to a movie clip on the timeline and not the main movie
Im working on a quiz kind of game in which if you click an object, you get a question (the object is a movie clip and the question is within it). If you answer it, the movie clip stops at a particular frame. And so go all the objects in the game. Now, because you cant predict which object the user will click on last, I dont know how to bring in an ending screen saying that they've completed it successfully.
View 1 Repliesim trying to get a button to move a list of movie clips up and down how would u go about this
e.g
i have a button at the top of the stage and a button at the bottom and when the top one is clicked it moves up one movie clip till last one is hit. and if the bottom one is hit it moves down one until it hits the last one
is there a way to refer to all movie clips on the stage or apply a function to all movie clips without applying the function to all manually?
View 3 RepliesI have my files set up to where a main swf has the main navigation and a container which draws each sub page into it. The sub pages have a navigation as well that was telling buttons where to go on the main movie timeline (with _level0.) I had to move my navigation down in the main swf file so i took the nav off the main timeline and put it in a movie clip so i could move all at once. Now my sub pages on external swfs with _level0.gotoAndPlay("frame"); dont work.
Is there any way to direct an external swf to play a certain frame within a movie clip in another swf?
I've tried changing _level0 to _level1, _root, _parent, _child, and using _root.mc_name.gotoAndPlay("frame"). none of which has worked.
I have a movie clip nested in frame 2 (* = movie clip in frame 2), it looks like this:
[1][2*][3]
When I test the movie it skips over frame 2. What type of action script (AS2) do I need either in the movie clip and/or in frame 2 to get the movie to play before proceeding and stopping at frame 3?
Basically what I'm trying to do is have one button move two objects, each at different speeds. My first object is called "bg" the second is called "test." I have two buttons, "left" and "right" and when they are clicked on, only the "test" object moves. Here's the code I'm using:
function onRollOver():Void {
if (bg._x<gLEFT) {
bg._x = gLEFT;

I made a flash animation using timelines and broke my movie up into three clips. The clips run fine in their own time line. I was reading about clip.play() clip.stop() and it seemed like I could do this. I have a main timeline with three frames. Each frame has a movie clip symbol on it. Each movie clip symbol has a timeline a few seconds long in it.I did this because I want to put a click event that will go to a different url depending on which clip the viewer is currently seeing. This swf file will be embedded into an html document.When I run the resulting swf - the three frames on the main timeline zip along like crazy and the movie clips don't play at all. I've tried every combination of stop() and play() I can think of but this is just not working as advertised.My movie clips have instance names of Clip1, Clip2 and Clip3.
1) some sample code that works so that I can run these clips in consecutive order;
2) the appropriate onClick code to use in the main timeline frames for my url events
In the FLA file i have two animations of a turbine and a fan turning one is controlled via a button the other is a loop action that is not controlled.The button control is simple telling the movie clips to got frame 2 and play,and on the fan and turbine movie clips I have a goto and play frame 2 action the end of their time line. By doing this I get a rotation effect .
The problem is that when I call play function from the start button the movie clip does not play properly and just shudders between frames,rather than way it should run as a looped animation.
I am somewhat new to flash and am having some trouble trying to control two different movie clips with two different buttons. Currently when either one of the buttons is pressed both movie clips start to play. How can I set file up so that if button 1 is pressed movie clip 1 will play and if button 2 is pressed movie clip 2 will play

View 4 RepliesI have created a website on the time line. There is actionscipt contolling which frame to play via a button. Within this button is a movieclip with a fade in using alpha on its own timeline with a stop(); at the end.The problem is I only want it to play when you first see it from moving to that page from the main timeline. Currently if i move over the button it plays the movie again which i dont want to happen. I do however want to retain the over states etc for the button.
View 2 RepliesIm creating a booklet with turning pages, like the one previously posted, so all the content is loaded dynamically.On the right hand page i have text, of which some lines are interactive.On the left page, i have a hidden text box. When the user clicks on a certain line on the right page, the text box on the left page becomes visible, and the relevant txt is loaded into the text box.Now, i can make the text box on the left page invisible by placing _visible = 0; directly into the actionscript pane of the text box.What i cant do is make it visible by clicking on the right page text. Where should i put the code to make the text box visible?Is it as simple as movieClip._visible = 1; ?

View 5 RepliesSo I have been trying to figure out a way to control multiple clips using the same "on press" & "on release" statements located on 1st frame of main timeline. A variable is being set to a value that correlates to the name of each movie clip as an interaction occurs.Ex: user clicks from a selection of buttons & depending on the button clicked it sets clipNum = "1" through "21".What I want is to have something like the following code that will give the user the ability to click and drag the clip with code on the main timeline similar to the following:
_root["drag_" + clipNum].onPress = function () {
startDrag (_root["drag_" + clipNum]);
};

how can you set it so that you can click a button, and it will make a movie clip goto a different frame- on a different frame?
View 1 RepliesHow do I make a button on one frame (on the main timeline) tell a movie clip on another frame to go to a certain frame inside that movie clip?
To do this, if the mc's are on the same frame is easy because you just use the dot syntax or MovieClip(parent), but how would I do this if a mc is on a different frame?

View 1 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?

View 18 RepliesI have seen flash sites that wait to load different parts of the flash file until you click on a link, thereby starting a loading graphic that then loads the content you're looking for.

View 2 RepliesI generally don't mess with the timeline, but I need to for this project. In a nutshell: user can customize a product reference sheet with her choice of crossection, footprint, etc. All those choices exist as external swfs. In order to be legible, the reference sheet must be two pages.I know how to print multiple frames with Flash. But what I cannot yet achieve is loading external swfs into movieclips on different frames, and then print that. Here's my code from a test fla:[code]Now, this code will print both frames as separate pages, but the loaded image in printArea.holder2 does not print!
View 3 RepliesI'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);

on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);

I have a 4 frame file that is a dvd menu. Buttons controlling navigation between all frames. There is a main page, and 3 child pages that link back to main. I have an mp3 file that I need to add as background music. I have created a new layer and added the following to the action of frame 1.
soundInstance = new Sound();soundInstance.attachSound("Music name from library"); My problem is that every time I navigate back to main from one of the child pages a new instance of the song begins so I end up with a round of music. I need the initial instance to persist throughout and not loop til the end of the song.
As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);
