ActionScript 3.0 :: Finish Playing Movieclip Before Going To Particular Scene?
Jun 27, 2010
Basically I'm doing a flash website for my 3D animations. Once my intro animation ends my menu comes up which is within a main movieclip called menustage_mc and within that movieclip is a bunch of movieclips acting as buttons to navigate through the site and their animation.When you press on a button it will move to a particular scene. I'm using multiple scenes so i don't clutter the main timeline for myself. I've read a couple of posts saying that i shouldn't use multiple scenes but there is no explanation as to why. I'm assuming i should add and remove movieclips but i'm very new to actionscript and in particular as3 but that's a different question somewhere down the line.
My problem is that when i click on a button for example sketches, i want to finish playing the menustage_mc animation and then go to the sketches scene. However i'm trying different variations and am not getting any success. There are instances where the animation plays but then doesn't go to the next scene. Another instance is that it goes straight to the selected scene but doesn't finish playing the menustage_mc.So all I really want to do is finish playing the menustage_mc animation before it goes to the correct scene? I have seen things where I can go the menustage_mc and put nextScene(); on the final frame but it's not what i am really aiming to do.

I have 6 scenes, the first scene has 5 pictures that i converted to buttons. each button goes to a different scene to play the appropriate movie clip. right now it shows up with scene 1, then i click on the button and it goes to the appropriate movie clip but after it finishes playing it just goes to the next clip on the next scene, then after it is finished it goes to the next clip on the next scene and so on. i would like to know is there some way i can make the movie clips return to scene 1 after they finish playing?

I want a scene to play for 10 seconds before playing the next scene and have no idea how to do this using script (action script 2). I know I can just extend the timeline out so it takes 10 seconds for the scene to play through, but I'd prefer to do it with script.

I'm working on an mp3 player. I want to trigger an event when the track finishes playing. I've created a function that will just trace a statement so that I know the event listener is working, but I can't seem to get it to trigger. Here is the playSong function in which the code is used:
Code:
function playSong(mySong:Number):void {
var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
playingTra = mySong;
current_song = mySong;
my_sound = new Sound();
[Code] .....
I tried to add in the following lines, but that instead institutes some playback issues:
Code:
if (my_channel){
my_channel.stop();
my_channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, stuff);
}

I have a main movie called home.fla. In this movie I only have one frame and I have place 5 different movie clips (not SWF) on this frame at different positions but on the same layer. These five movie clips are named mc_main1, c_main2.Each of these movie clips contains 5 frames, with a button on each frame. Each of these buttons also has a movie clip inside them (mc_sub1 mc_sub5). You can only go from frame 1 to frame 2 of each clip (main1, main2 etc.) my clicking on the button on frame1.The user can go to any of the main movie clips in whichever sequence they want. For example, they can choose to go to clip main3 and click on it twice (this will take the user till frame 3 of main3 and play the movie clip that is inside frame3) and then they can decide to click on main1 once and then main4 three times until they have visited all the parts of (all the 25 mc_sub) all the movie clips (main1 main5).
Once the user has visited all the 25 mc_sub i.e. once they have finished going thru all the 5 main movie clips completely, I want to display an animation (mc_animation) on the frame1 or any other frame of the home.fla movie.Is there away to determine if the user has finished watching all the 25 mc_sub i.e. if the user has gone thru each and every frame of each of the mc_main movieclips.I think the problem is that since the user can select any of the mc_main clips in any sequence, I am finding it difficult to determine when they have finished going through everything. If it was all in a sequence then I know I could have calculated if the current frame is equal to total frames and then I would have displayed the animation if the above was true; but that is not the case here.

Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.

MovieClip(mcName).play();
MovieClip(mcName).addEventListener(??????, myStopFunction);
Or how differently you can learn about the end of play?MovieClip is an external file and loaded into the swf as needed.

I've been fumbling with this issue for a bit. I've got a lovely little tooltip movieclip that follows the user's mouse for a few seconds before it removes itself. My problem is that if there is one already there I remove it, however, I cannot seem to remove the Motion_Finish event and it still fires and possibly deletes a new tooltip. What I want is to essentially put in a line item such as:
var tween(smallhelp_panel).deleteAll();
I saw a tweenlight function killtweensof(mc); However I've used the tweens I've incorporated below throughout my 30k lines of AS3 code.
Here is my tooltip handler. I call it with a simple
Main_Warning("Please don't forget to save!",5);
My movieclip is a 'smallhelp_panel' and I check if it already exists and remove it. However, the alpha and MOTION_FINISH tweens still exist and cause issues with any new smallhelp_panels.
public function Main_Warning( the_text:String, myTimer:int = 4){
if(smallhelp_panel != null){
stage.removeChild( smallhelp_panel );

I have two scenes on my movie. My first scene is just an introduction animation. At the end of that scene I just want it to go to the next scene. I thought it would do this automatically but I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at InteractiveCDAnimation_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp___id0__Scene2_content_0() at InteractiveCDAnimation_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I tried putting a this.gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene2") <- My scene is name Scene2. It does not work. I even tried creating a function and seeing if it would listen to an enterframe event listener. I do not want a button to click at the end, I just want it to automatically go to the next frame. Why I am getting this error above, and why I cannot get this thing to go to the next scene.

I'm trying to build a sort of flash based portfolio that will allow the user to control what they view. I want some background music to play under all of this, but when the user goes to a particular scene or frame of animation the music will stop or skip as they move.
Is there a way to get the music to just play in the background in an endless loop regardless of which scene or frame they jump to or another way to get a similar effect? I'd really like it to be interactive rather than just a preset slide show.

I dynamically loaded swf files through loadmovie, into a main movie which has six scenes. I made a button to go from scene 1 to scene 2, and when I go to scene 2, the swf continues to play from scene 1. How can I stop the swf from playing before it goes go to the next scene. I need to stop the swf when it exits scene. What's the easiest way this can be done. I'm using Actionscript 2.0.

I've just built my first preloader, and the first time loading it, it works great in Internet Explorer 8 (with latest flash player), but on reload or on reopen of browser, it doesn't autoplay the second scene (main scene). Works great in Firefox and Chrome.
I've searched the internet up and down with no luck on solving this problem.
Here is my ActionScript 3.0 for the preloader:

I'm currently working on a project where I mix animation sequences with short videos. My project also has two scenes and the FLV will be placed on the main time line of the second scene. The problem I am having is, if the movie is previewed from the first scene, or exported, the FLV on scene 2 won't load. the timeline on the playhead will just spin. I'm currently using "Load external video with playback component" as the method for importing the flv file.I have already worked with this video multiple times in other flash files and have never had a problem loading the video. Is there a limitation to FLV playback in multiple scene movies?

I've just started get the hang of Flash, but am not too skilled with AS2 yet apparently. I was wondering how I would go about if I want the scene to pause when I roll the mouse over it, and then continue playing when I roll out.
I figured it would be something like this:
on(rollOver){
stop();
} on(rollOut) {
???
}

How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?

i'm trying to get a movieclip within a movieclip to stop playing when it reaches its last frame. let me describe my problem: it should start playing when the user rolls over the movieclip that is containing it(i'll call this mc1, and the movieclip within it mc2). i've put a stop action in mc2's last frame but it won't stop and plays again and again. one thing i should point out is that there is a variable in mc1 that tells the movie whether it's ok to play the movie in reverse when the user rolls over mc1, if this is false, that means that it plays normally(not in reverse). i'm using "play()" to play mc1 when the user rolls over it and this is where i think the problem is; even though the last frame of mc2 has a stop action, it is somehow told to play again? anyways, this is just a guess, i haven't figured out why or how to fix it. i'm not sure if my explanation was too hard to understand so i'll try to clarify it if anyone wants me to.

I'm amateur flash-animator going to create his first flash game. Everything is sketched out perfectly and the only thing left to do is the programing. This is the subject I lack in the most (and that's the reason I decided to create a game...to learn) I'm using (the,by now, incredibly old) Macromedia Flash MX Pro 2004 (so that's AS2 I believe) for over 7 years now, but action-scripting is still mostly a vague uncharted territory. Sure I can get around most problems with scenes

I want to access a MovieClip in another scene than I'm currently in.
More specific I want to set a TextField to a certain value from a "preloader"-scene. This is for handling totally dynamic language phrases. Maybe this is the wrong way.
I'm loading a XML with language phrases that I want to replace the textfields with.
We could do this by altering all MovieClips, but I think this could be a smart solution, if it's possible! :)
