I have used the loader class and the load method to load a swf file that has several frames. how I determine the total number of frames in the SWF file timeline after loading?
View 3 RepliesI need to be able to load a couple of external.swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the tips I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the.swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);var mcListener:Object = new Object();
mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)[code].......
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored.how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but playing to the end.)

At the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
The names of the dynamic text labels are:
"cFrame" and "tFrames"
I have a bunch of AS2 swfs that I am loading into an AS3 project. These AS2 swfs are powerpoint slides essentially. In my onComplete method, I trace(event.target.content.totalFrames) and I get this error:[code]How can I get the total frames of the SWF in AS3 on an AS2 movie?or alternatively find out when the swf is done playing?
View 4 RepliesI m new to actionscript 2.0 and flash cs3 (on which the team was working before). I have managed to learn basics (though not completely) of flash and AS2. Our project is about creating an e-learning tool that will enable the students to improve their english grammar skills through different lessons e.g noun, adjective verb etc.
i m trying to write a generic code that, after completion, should work for around 40 lessons in the entire tool. making 1 main.fla that should work for all lessons, seems interesting but a challenging job. i can not find any thread or blog that wud tell me CAN I COUNT THE NUMBER OF SCREENS IN MY LESSON AND THEN AT RUN TIME MY main.fla SHOULD HAVE THAT MANY FRAMES. i will try to explain this through an example: in noun.xml, i calculated 30 screens, so i need 30 frames for noun.xml....whereas if in adjective.xml, i have 50 screens, i should have 50 frames......therefore, i need to calculate the number of screens in my lesson, and then dynamically insert that many frams in my application, can i do that...
is it possible to get the total frames from a .swf being loaded via a flash.display.Loader class so i can calculate duration in seconds of the clip?
View 2 Repliesi have a dynamic image gallery, and what I want to do is be able to load a number that is saved in a text file and use it as the total number of images in that folder for an if statement:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("images/info.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

I would like to be able to create a folder for the copied video frames access the individual frames frome a .flv video file and/or .swf file save these frames to the auto-created folder I assume one would need to do this using Action Script 3 to scan through the .swf and .flv files and extract the frames.

View 1 Replieshow to build a timeline scrubber that can scrub more than one scene.
1. Scene 1 had 20 frames
2. Scene 2 had 20 frames
3. On scene 1 I put the slider that scrub the timeline. The totalFrames; sum all the frame from all the scene.
4. When i scrub the slider to frame 21 error occurred saying that the slider couldn't be found. So i paste the slider in scene 2.
So how to continue scrub on scene 2? How to make a slider that can scrub all scene and move along showing the current frames?
How can I find out the total number of MovieClips on stage at any one time?
I've just had to optimise a tile based scrolling game by ripping clips off and on the stage as it scrolls. I could have used gotoAndStop scrolling but I was hoping I could try clip ripping first (reorganising my entire library wouldn't keep me on schedule) - so far the overhead has been drastically reduced.
But I want to be double sure there aren't any MCs lurking (implementing this is producing rarely occuring bugs), how can I get the number of clips attached?

(There are 2 teams) The thing i have a problem with is generating the random numbers and also where exactly to drop in the actionscript in the timeline. I've tried different variations of the Math.Floor(Math.Random) but i cant seem to get it to produce the numbers i want!

I'm trying to do something that makes sense in my head, but can only translate to code with mixed success.On the screen is 6x4 grid of boxes, 24 in total. These boxes represent a number of entries in a big visual timeline, the total of which can be anywhere from 1 to many thousand. Of course, only a fixed number of 24 can be seen at any one time.The grid scrolls left/right to show previous/future timeline entries in their box form.
The grid normally starts at the very first entry, but there is an offset built-in to it so that you can, for instance, start the display of these entries at a certain point. For instance, if you have 26 entries with an offset of 1, that means there will be 1 entry not seen to the left (before), 24 on the screen seen, and 1 entry not seen to the right (future). Or if you have an offset of 10, there would be 10 to the left (not seen) and 16 filling the space on screen, etc.The scrolling basically slides the entries left or right by a factor of 4 (since the columns consist of 4 boxes), but must be clamped to not scroll beyond the total number.
Is there some simple math anyone can think of to track the state of these boxes? I ask because I will have Flash create *only* the 24 max that can be seen at any one time. Any time you scroll to the right or left, Flash will create up to 4 new boxes to fit that next column, and then animated all 28 boxes (24 existing + 4 new) to move the new ones on (and the old ones off), and then delete the old ones. This is to keep things optimized since creating many thousands of boxes that each load external content is not very feasible.
Hope this makes sense to someone. It would be similar to what you see here, but with scrolling (and more importantly, something to keep track of it all): [Url]
I watch the video tutorial of Mr. Lee Brimelow, I follow the tutorials but I encountered an error the loaded swf file doesn't start at frame 1 it jumps up to 115 frames.preloader.flamain.fla - animation starts at frame 115main.fla containts different scenes.
View 5 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently doing a board game, in which you get asked questions and answer them for points. the questions get loaded from a .txt file. what I'm trying to do is that the questions appear in a random order everytime the game starts. I already have the shuffle function working, it shuffles 51 numbers (the number of questions in the game) between 51 variables, so each variable is assigned a different number and they don't repeat. My problem is that I can't figure out how to apply those numbers to the variable that get loaded from the text file. I could make many IF statements but that would be a lot of code, so I tried doing a function, but it didn't work. this is the function:
