How I create a backward event, this event will have the following tasks:
1. When I 'over' (place my pointer) to the button, a light is appearing, and it's moving from left to right.
2. But when I move my pointer away from the button (the pointer is not on the button), the light is moving backward (from the last position it reached in first task).
I need to add a backward and forward button to a photo gallery I am working on, but not sure how to do it.
Here is the code:

I've been creating a site using as3 in flash CS4, however my client has a large customer base that inludes people in large companies that dont have the latest flash drivers installed on their computers and dont have the admistrative privalidges to update the drivers themselves. After testing with a select few customers my client has foud that 50% of their clients are not able to view the site prototype. I have therefore attempted to publish the site setting the Flash player to 9 rather than 10, however when I test the site all the animated elements are frozen! If anyone has an idea how to resolve these issues I'm all ears
View 1 RepliesI'm following instructions to make a simple background in Flash CS4 using vector graphics. I'm at the part where the book tells me to put the cloud graphics behind a hill I drew by clicking modify->arrange->send backward, however, clicking that option does not seem to do anything. Edit: the hill and clouds are on the same "foreground" layer, my bad! SOLUTION: I got it to work by converting the hill into a graphic symbol. The clouds circled are supposed to be behind the hill:
View 2 RepliesThis is en examle of what i want to make in a.s.: I have mc on stage, it has 20 frames, in frame 1 there is circle in left corner of stage, in 20th frame circle is on the opposite side of frame and there is motion tween between them. There is stop() script in the first and last frame. Now if i put on mc
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
it works ok but on rollOut mc rapidly jumps to frame 1, is it possible to make it play backward on rollOut and stop at frame 1.
I recently created a slide show that works fine on my desktop, works great from the test server when viewed through the flash produced HTML but once the swf is uploaded via a content management system we have problems. Further investigation showed that the CMS is set up for a few versions back so I saved backward which dropped my actionScript back to 1.0 and 2.0. I totally re-wrote the actions script and again, everything works great on my box but the same issues are showing up. Is versioning backward in this manner the problem.
View 3 RepliesHow is this action attached to a button via scripting?
View 2 RepliesI beleive there's an Action Script or possibly an attached Javascript (maybe) that would allow an FLV video to 1st stream forward and then play backwards and repeat this proccess over and over to simulate an endless trend. The perfect example can be simply viewed here url...Their video is a short 13 sec clip of the pup licking the screen, but they managed to reverse it when it reaches the end.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a small movie. Now I want to create an effect that once the mouse is in the right half of the movie - then movie should play forward. When the cursor moves to the left half of the movie then movie should play backwards. I have tried following some examples from online but I am kinda lost
This is what I have done so far:
- Create the animation named it "mc" of type Movie Clip
- Put it in the "main scene"
- The (first) keyframe at "main scene" has action "stop();"
- <<now i am lost >>
Note: Eventually the right and left part of the movie will link to different webpage.
I usually use the following code to play a MC forward and backward using two different button clicks:
ActionScript Code:
var rewindMe:Boolean=false;
vid_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame);

The problem I'm running into is that, this time, the movieclip has an embedded FLV inside of it. When I click the backward_btn, it is slow - really slow. Is there any other way to look at this?
Ive got this animating button and when it rolls out i want it to play the same animation backward
View 14 RepliesI have an animation of a rotating 3d object, and I'm playing it backward and forward through simple nextFrame() and prevFrame() actions inside an onEnterFrame event.Everything seems to work, the only technical problem is that if I go backward, the animation is not as smooth as if I went forward. I understand that a prevFrame action is 'less natural' than a nextFrame.. but does anyone know how I could fix it?
View 3 RepliesAnyone have any clue how to make a Flash movie like this one? [URL] I could script a back button to go to a previous frame but how do I get that smooth looping effect?

View 2 RepliesSo my issue is that I want my images to get smaller as they go to the back, and unlike the carousel in the tutorial, I don't want them to go up on the Y axis I'd like them to stay level horizontally but get smaller as they recede. The code in the tutorial I'm using only goes over how to do this by adjusting radiusY.
var numOfItems:Number = 4;
var radiusX:Number = 250;
var radiusY:Number = 5;

I posted a discussion earlier on a video stream not playing past a certain time. I ran FLVCheck on the video and it came back saying there is a backward timestamp in the video. I recompressed it from the uncompressed video (AVI) and I got the same error again in the exact same place.
The error has to be in the uncompressed file, but I don't know how to fix it. Recompressing obviously doesn't help. Anyone know how to fix a 'Backward timestamp'?
So I made a slideshow swf in AS3 only to later find out it needs to be compatible with Flash 8...and in my estimation AS3 cannot publish back to a Flash 8 swf without it being AS2...is there anyway I can do this without rewriting the code? I'm fairly new to AS, starting with 3 - so I really don't have any AS2 knowledge.

i am creating a video player.i created play and pause of it with state pattern but i dont know about make forward and backward for this video.
View 3 Replieshow to make my "animation" (more of an interactive slideshow) skip forwards and backwards by two frames rather than one.
Each frame's action starts with stop(); and I know how you can implement the Action script to register keystrokes, the problem is I can't get how to jump by 2 rather than 1 frame at a time.
It would be preferable not to have to use gotoAndStop(#); on every 2nd frame as I have over 350+ frames.
I have circles in my stage that I addChild them but they are front of all my objects but I need them under one of my objects.

my Front Object Name: Border
well what i am trying to do is move between 2 text boxes through a motion tween. but thats not going to work because you can't tween backwards. so what would be the best thing to do?
this has probably been posted before but i have no idea where it is. i tried the sliding menu tute but that didn't work.

Im trying to produce my online portfolio but for that i need to play movieclips backward and forward to various frame numbers.I found a very good script (as2) and it works great in the main timeline but inside a mc it doesnt work at all. this is the script
1. Call to Action Create an actionscript layer that extends the full length of your movie. In that layer, include the following actionscript:
function Movement() {
if (_root._currentframe > _root.mytarget){
prevFrame();
[code]....
Using the code above, the movie will play either backwards or forwards to the desired destination.As i said before this script is great but it doesnt work inside an mc.

I simply want to move a video forward and backword when it is already playing, but the seek method is not working properly. I can't figure out, where the problem is.I have two buttons (pluz_btn and minus_btn). Plus button is used to move half second forward and Minus button is used to go back half seconds.The plus button is working but it is showing about is moving the video to about 3 seconds.The minus button should move video backword. But it is also moving it forward.[code]......

Im trying to create a series of images that scroll acoss the page left and right using arrows at either side of the stage. The arrows use mouse over events to play a movie clip of the images foward and backward.There are a few issues I am having. I have a mouse over and mouse out events in place to start and stop the clip on to different buttons. However when playing the clip backward with my current script the mouse out doesnt do anything so the clip just keeps playing backward to the beggining. Once this has happened neither button then does anything.Another issue is once the clip has played foward once in total and I mouse over the same arrow button again it flicks back to the begginging of the clip.[code]

I would like to control the embedded video by advancing the playhead forward and /or backward by increments > 1 frame. I have tried:
on (press) {
stop();
for(var j = 0; j < 4; j++)
nextFrame();
}
- and -
on (press) {
stop();
mc.gotoAndStop(mc._currentframe + 4);
} (mc = movie clip)
I enabled Simple Buttons and clicked on the buttons containing the AS; they are not functioning. Although, the play, stop, goto first and last frame buttons work. I am perplexed. I have tried creating a new .fla file with a different .wmv, and the failure to function persists.
