i am currently working on a flash game using multiple scenes. I have made a quick video highlighting exactly what is happening. I get no error messages ut it still occurs.bassically the first button links to a second scene and the second button links to the back to the first scene.
View 2 Replieswhenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!
View 1 RepliesIs it even possible? Working with just AS3 files in FB4, can I just somehow attach a new Scene object to the root scene?
View 1 RepliesI have 3 scenes in my flash, so when I run the movie it goes through all scenes, however I have a button which send you to the next scene.
When he is not pressed I want that just first scene( in my case Scene 1 ) is looping. I mean I have 30 frames in Scene 1 and when it is on frame 30 I want to go to frame 1 of Scene 1.
How to do that using ActionScript2.0?
Ok so here is my XML slideshow Actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?
I have a .fla project being created under CS4, using ActionScript 3.0, that consists of multiple scenes.
In the code attached to the first scene, I define some functions that are used as methods on buttons[code]...
Is there a way to do this? I am just now hearing of (and experiencing) all the downfalls of using scenes to create an interactive website. I may have to start the whole thing over at the mid point if there isn't a way to convert it into one It will save a week's worth of work!
View 1 RepliesWell, I know how to use the ifFrameIsLoaded to load one scene, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the script needed to use the action to load multiple scenes rather than one.
View 1 RepliesI have a swf that is built with 3 scenes. The 1st scene is actually the prealoader for the movie.Now, in the last scene i load an external picture (picture.loadMovie(...)). I want to load the picture in the first scene,as i need it allready loaded when displaying it in scene 3. to avoid the loading delay.
View 6 Replies1. Created a flash banner ad on the first scene. Take note they're all under frame one because I used movie clips for the animations (Movie clip ends on the 100th frame and not sure if I need to add a stop(); code there or place the gotoAndStop command). Anyways, moving on.
2. I created a new banner onto another scene which by now I have 2 scenes. Just like scene 1, all the animations and such are all under frame 1.
3. Placed an action script on the first scene to play the next scene.
gotoAndStop("scene 2", 1);
4. For the second I placed the action script:
gotoAndStop("scene 1", 1);
Output:It looks like my banner ad is flipping one scene from another without stopping. I know my action script is not correct. I know you folks are far more experience in flash, so I implore your wisdom.
is it better to use different scenes for multiple types of media rather than using a container to load and unload? scene 1 mp3 player scene 2 video player scene3 swif loader etc
View 3 RepliesI just started using CS4. I have one problem with audio played from timeline in multiple scenes. The first 2 sceense work fine but the 3rd one has problem. The audio would pick up the last brief second of the audio before the current one and then plays the current audio. The pick up includes the last second of the last audio of the previous scene or the clip from the current scene.
If I copy all the frames in the problem scene into a new file, audio plays perfectly.
Have anyone seen something like this and what is the cure?
I try to run a swf or html file of my fla file and it only works on my machine but not on my laptop. I have the latest flash player installed but it still doesn't work. My laptop works for single scenes swf and html but not for multiple scene file.
View 5 RepliesI'm having issues with switching scenes for this 6 scene short story, between scene 1 and 2, the text (thats in a text box from my character) in my project, slides in and out just fine... At the end of the code in the 1st frame, I added a code snippet (click to go to next frame and stop), and it goes to the next frame, code then tells to click button, then the text switches/slides in and out fine, the horse(another character) comes into the scene fine... Then again at the bottom of frame 2 now, I add the same code snippet to the click button, its suppose to go to scene/frame 3, where the text slides in and then out, but it's giving me output errors, AND I noticed when I press the (click to go to next frame and stop)snippet again, it inputs a totally different snippet(click and play next frame), which I manually change back to the other snippet, and even make sure that its suppose to go to frame 3, and then it still gives me output errors: Error:
Cannot tween a null object. at com.greensock::TweenLite() at com.greensock::TweenLite$/to() at CortesWP1_fla::MainTimeline/fredRun2() at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply() at com.greensock.core::TweenCore/complete() at com.greensock::TweenLite/renderTime()
[Code].....
For some reason the code in scene 1(frame 1) to scene 2(frame 2) is fine. Its the code from scene 2(frame 2) to scene 3(frame 3) thats giving me issues. I'm trying to keep the button I created on the bottom right corner of the scene, to be the one button that clicks from scene 1 through 6(dones not need a previous button).
I have a project that requires building the project using Scenes to chunk up different sections of an Elearning course.
I have created 20 Scenes.
Each Scene uses the same interface design.
On the Interface there are 6 specific buttons that will allow users to visit 6 instructional areas.
All six buttons will be avialable in all 20 Scenes.
My question is: is it possible to replicate the six buttons across all 20 scenes without having to provide unique instance names for each button in all 20 scenes so that the code to go to a scene will work in each Scene?
Or do I just have to code all 180 buttons individually as I go?
What I mean is for example.
The Lesson 1 button is replicated 20 times. the lesson one button has actionscript to go to the Lesson 1 Scene.
If I replicate the button to another Scene, I have to give it a different instance name, and update the code for that button each time and for all buttons.
I am making an interactive game for a school project that has an intro and a main part consisting of multiple scenes. I'm curious if I can have a song from my library play throughout multiple scenes. One song for the intro scenes, and another for the scenes that make up the actual game.
I also have a point in the game where you can get a 'game over' screen and an option to restart. I'm wanting the song to restart only at this point.
stop();
brain_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[code].....
How do you refer to specific named instances of objects (buttons, movie clips, text fields, etc.) in different scenes? I made two scenes with button1 on scene 1 and button2 on scene 2. My code is below. The button2.addEventListener line gives the error "cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." Removing that line removes the error and button1 switches scenes. What's the proper way of referring to button2?

import flash.events.Event;

I've been searching the internet for how to use scenes in flash games, and from what I understand it got some problems? MY problem is that i cant really understand what the problem is and I cant find i "clean" explanation.
Some say you dont should use scenes in game development, some say you should?? Im confused.
Another thing that i dont understand quite is the document classes. Should i have one document class for every scene or one for all of them?
If i have 2 scenes with it's own document classes, how do i switch between them?
I want to display an external swf across multiple scenes.whether it is in the background or whether i put one code on the first scene for the movie clip to load it and a different code for the same movie clip on the other scenes.
View 3 RepliesI currently have a movie, about 12 scenes long. I have a sound control that loops the track I have the user select repeatedly. But because I wanted music to always play unless they manually turned down the volume in my controls I load the music each time the main scene is loaded... This ends all of the other sounds and just restarts the first track in my list.
Here's the code:
For the main frame, inside a movie clip placed on scene 1:
stop ();
stopAllSounds ();
setProperty ("playing1", _visible, "1");
setProperty ("playing2", _visible, "0");
[Code]....
All I want this to do is keep playing the track the user selected, and not have to reset everytime the main scene is loaded...
1. Need it to do: when the correct word is placed in the box, it stays there. Currently it disappears. I think this is because we are removing the child, but if we don't remove the child - it stays in all scenes and frames and interferes with being able to drop more words in the target box.
2. If you incorrectly guess, then correctly guess.. the incorrect guess is visible throughout the rest of the scenes and frames (this is a big one, i need this fixed somehow).
3. Not as important, but in order to make this work, I had to go into each scene and make sure all my variables were named differently then the other scenes. There must be a way around this.

I have a replay button on the last scene of my .fla and I want - when clicked - to
replay the .fla from frame 1, Scene 1.
I've used the following code:
stop();
ReplayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClic k);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 1")
}
on the last frame of "as" layer, but nothing happens.

View 1 RepliesHowever, I have a main movie and in there I open the multiple scenes. If I use the preloader alone with the scenes it works, but when I want to load the preloader that should open the scenes inside the main movie it doesn't do anything.
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("magazine.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{
[Code] .....
In the old situation I use a button goto frame - and on the frame there is actionscript that says:
stop();
loadMovie("magazine.swf", 'placeholder');
have changed that to
stop();
loadMovie("preloader.swf", 'placeholder');
I've created an articulated drawing with the bone tool and converted it into a symbol. However, when I drag the symbol into my scene and manipulate it, it changes the original symbol instead of using it as a instance that can be animated independently>
View 6 RepliesMost of my flash movies have been reasonable sizes, but the one I'm working on now is kind of a beast. It's up against the 16000 frame limit, so I'm looking into ways to chop it up. The problem is that I need a way to keep my background music playing across multiple scenes or movies. Is there a way to start a sound file in one movie, and have it continue when another scene is loaded or when a second movie file is loaded with ActionScript?
View 3 RepliesI have a main timeline that has 27 different scenes. I have a movie clip that is an "on call" navigation menu for the main timeline. I can call the menu once, and it will go to the first place I want it to go. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to go away to be able to call it again. I get the "must be child of caller" error. how to get rid of it each time I use it?
View 2 RepliesI have multiple scenes. In each scene I load lot of movie clips.I move from one scene to another scene and may come back to the already visited scene.
1. From one scene if I move to some other scene will it flush or unload the scene with the movie clips or they will be still floating in the memory? If it is going to be in the memory with the loaded movies how can I unload them when I move from Scene to Scene?
2. Can I reuse a loaded movie in one scene, in another scene? Basically can I share the same loaded movie in multiple scenes?
I have swf with multiple scenes.Controls in each scenes are different. How can I manipulate these controls in different scenes in a single document class for this swf?
