I am loading a MC in frmae 3 of the main timeline. In the MC, there's a button which I would like when pressed to run the main movie at frame 2. Below is the code.[code]I cannot get the gotoAndPLay bit to work. I;ve tried sooo many combinations (parent, _parent, this._parent etc etc) but to no avail.
View 7 RepliesBasically 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;
[code]...
I'm in the process of designing this site as a portfolio for my art and am in the process of creating and laying out the galleries. My idea was to create movie clip animated buttons that would react to the roll over stuff. I got that part to work the way I wanted it. But now, I can't seem to figure out how to put a "Gotoandplay" type of code on the buttons so that the timeline would jump to the appropriate frame and play. (I put an "on(release) gotoandplay" on it the way I would put it on a button but it never responds. I have a couple of buttons that work fine with a "geturl". so I thought a "gotoandplay" would work fine. If this can be figured out in a way that I can easily use it for all buttons with just the frame number needing alteration, that would be best. After you click the splashpage door jpg, there will be a piece of paper on the floor. That is a button which should trigger the animation that starts at frame 114. When clicked, the page lifts up and spread open to two pages. But it never reacts

But how should I adapt such to control a movieclip called mcGlider from a button on the main timeline.
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";

What I am trying to achieve is have one movie clip containing a button control the timeline of another movie clip.I know how to get a button to control the timeline of it's current movie clip, however, getting a button to control the timeline of a seperate clip seems to evade me.
View 6 RepliesI have a main timeline and on frame 6 I have a game1_mc to be controlled from the main timeline, that has start drag on it. The cursor changes to a hand but the movieClip won't drag. Could someone tell me how to get this to work? After trying many things, I currently have on a frame on the main timeline:
game1_mc.purpleTri.onPress=function() {
this.startDrag();
}

Re: Question: AS3 Button controling timeline of movie clip.
here is the coding I am using too:
but_shows.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void{
_root.mainContainer.gotoAndStop(2);
}
it says that I have an error:
Symbol 'ribbon_menu', Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 20 1120: Access of undefined property _root.
but_shows is located in a movie clip called Ribbon_menu that is trying to go to and play x fram in a movieclip called mainContainer.
Both Ribbon_menu and mainContainer are located on the root timeline.
I wonder since the button scripting is located in Ribbon_menu and not the main timeline is the _root command confusing itself with the root of the stage, or the stage of the ribbon_menu movieclip!
I 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-
example: Button Script
closeAll_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);
function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {
****don't know what to put here to activate "closeAllOpenMovieClips" function on main stage****
}
example: Main Stage Timeline Script
function closeAllOpenMovieClips():void { trek_mc.gotoAndStop(1); lost_arts_mc.gotoAndStop(1); rain_mc.gotoAndStop(1); vintage_mc.gotoAndStop(1);}
***don't know if I need more script on Main Stage Timeline that just "function" ***
Note the button at the top called portfolio, on mouseover this button should loop through the "mouseover" label section, and when the user takes the mouse off of it it should continue to play through what it has started, and stop at the begining of the mouseover labelwhen the user clicks on the button it should play through the "trans" label (only once) and begin to loop at the label section "current" when the user goes to another section, for example, clicks another button besides portfolio, the animation should stop on the label "visited" my code for it to loop looks like this (on the invisible button over the movie clip)
on (rollOver) {
portfolioBtn_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
}

I'm just trying to find the right action scrip for instance on my button to control the movie clip it is within.I have currently tried..

say i have a main movie, into this movie is loaded another movie on level_1.
is there any actionscript that allows a button inside the loaded movie control the main movie? i.o.w. can a button inside the loaded movie tell the main movie to go to another scene?
+ i am looking for code for that same button to unload the movie it is in itself..
I have instances in my movie layed out as such
_root contains
[sliderX] which contains
[holder]
Where X is a number from 1-500 inside [holder] is a button that when pressed should load an image into new browser (does this fine) then move the main movie to it's next scene. this is when it fails. I have tried

Here's my problem. I have a movie on a stage (MyMovie) that I can control with start and stop buttons. Let's call it MyMovie. Inside that movie there are 4 layers. Layer one has movie1 which contains a movie created with a movie clip symbol that has been tweened over 60 frames. Layer 2 has a movie clip which has the movement generated by action script using a simple aray. That movie has start and stop buttons controlling the action script movie. Layer 3 has a movie clip (movie3) that is generated using the built feature copy motion as actionscript 3.
I know it's kind of confusing so here's a screenshot of the MyMovie timeline:
Here is the Scene timeline:
The problem I'm running into seems like it should have a simple solution. The first line in the Actionscript for Scene 1 is stop(). I expect MyMovie not to play. The blue outline around the yellow circle is actually a blue circle below the yellow circle. It is the only component of MyMovie that derives it's animation from a tween. It is also the only part of the animation that is stopped. The yellow circle, motion by a tweening a simple array will play with the stop and go buttons and the orange circle animates all the time. Pressing the big go button causes the blue circle to animate, pressing the stop button causes the blue circle to stop, but all the other animations inside MyMovie keep running. I have no control over the embedded movies.
I seems to me that it should be easy to start and stop all elements embedded inside MyMovie by simply stopping MyMovie. There's obviously something that I'm missing here.
So I have a movie clip that will be composed of a few photos (one on each frame). And under that movie clip on the stage I will have arrow buttons. When a user clicks on the arrow button I would like the next frame) to show up. How can I point my actionscript3 to the movie clip to control the timeline in the MC file?
View 4 Repliesi have a movie clip of scissors cutting. 2 instances of it on stage, "scissorsRL" and "scissorsLR". i have the following code attached to the left scissors:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x = _x + 10;
if (this._x>=920) {
stop();
}
}
and similar code on the right.what i am trying to do is to get the 2 scissors instances to "start over" when the start over button is released. but, if you look at the attachment, you see what it is doing (the scissors are not animating, just increasing or decreasing _x values - i don't understand why.
the code i have on the start over button is this:
on (release) {
setProperty("scissorsRL", _x, "100");
setProperty("scissorsLR", _x, "700");
}
i want to run movie with more controlling If I have a time line displaying some motions Every motion have a number
Is it possible that the user of swf flash select the number of motions he want to run by input the beginning motion number and the end motion number ?
And can he choose a number to repeat that motion he have chosen ?
it is working very well as it is but when i manipulate it and the time line enlarged .. it doesn't work
I'm having a 2 flash movies in my web page (let's say index.html , movie01.swf and movie02.swf). Is there a way, when something happens on movie01 (like a click) that movie02 does something as well like plays a MC? My HTML page has 3 frames, 1 top, 1 left, 1 main. Movie01 on top and Movie02 just a small area in left frame.
View 8 RepliesI have a huge timeline with photos, each photo on a different frame, and several buttons, one for each picture on the first frame. My idea is to make a unique action for the buttons that tells the timeline to go to the frame number that is the same as the button instance name.
View 1 RepliesI have an emptyMovieClip and a button on my stage. I'd like to control the alpha of the button depending on whether a movieclip is loaded into the emptyMovieClip or not. I'm just a beginner at Flash and have little programming experience.
if a movie is loaded in the emptyMovieClip, button alpha = 100%
else button alpha = 0%

View 1 RepliesI'm pretty sure this is possible, but I can't get it to work. I have a main movie and in one frame I am loading in another swf. The user goes through the activity in the loaded swf and then needs to continue on in the main movie. I've added code in the last scene of the loaded swf that I thought would allow it to navigate to the next frame in the main movie:
PHP Code:
function next4(evt:MouseEvent):void {
this.parent.parent.gotoAndStop(4);
} continue2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, next4);
But when I play the main movie, I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at ELC_fla::MainTimeline/frame3()
I have tried to communicate to the continue button in the loaded swf from the main movie, but that didn't work either.
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.

im 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
I am making a game were you create movieclips with a button and move them around using a function system. The problem is, I want to control all of the same attached version of that movieclip in the code. how exactly would i do that if the instance name changes every time I load it?
View 3 RepliesI have spent 2 1/2 days now looking for a way to make a movie of 16 pictures where the progress of the movie can be controlled by a slider. This is either not a very common use of flash, or a very advanced project to take on. I know nothing of action script, and am trying to learn how to make this happen. I have been able to do this with buttons to go forward and back a frame when pushed, but I can't get the slider component to corelate with frames.
View 2 RepliesI have a portfolio page with several trailer thumbnails (a portfolio list). If you click on each, the page changes and you see the trailer in a video player, plus more info about the film. I used two frames in the timeline: the first frame has the clip with the thumbnails (port_list). The second frame has a movie clip container and the video player. The idea is that pressing the respective button from port_list will load the details of that movie and the movie into the video player. I am using this script:
ZSQ_but.onRelease = function (){
_parent.gotoAndStop("por_details");
myplayer.contentPath = "videos/ZSQ.flv";[codde]....
Even though the script looks alright (and works alright if at the root level), it will not work from the child clip. What am I doing wrong?
I'm at the end of my flash site creation and I would like to have the "mouse_down" keyframe in my movie clip to change the frame of my other movie clip displaying the content of the page. How would I go about a gotoAndStop() function to control a movie clip from another MC?[Code]...
View 1 Repliesis 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?
