I am using the below function in one of my application, but its not working. It says
1120: Access of undefined property btnTwo.
For button I have given the instance name as btnTwo
btnTwo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2);
function btn2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(24);
}
gotoAndPlay function not working, I am getting this runtime error "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."I understand its meaning, what is the reference that is null here , even keyframe 3 exists.

I'm having trouble getting a game to go to the end scene after a collison with a barrier.

I'm a bit rusty in flash.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var mytween:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,-320.10,47.90,5,true);
mytween.onMotionFinished = function() {
var mytween2:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,47.90,-320.10,5,true);
} mytween2.onMotionFinished = function() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
It does the first and second tween but doesn't do the gotoAndPlay function?
I have a movieclip with labels "normal" and "mouseover" . I am using the following code :
var thisButton:MovieClip = this.getChildByName(e.currentTarget.name) as MovieClip;
thisButton.gotoAndPlay("mouseOver");
On debugging "thisButton" does goto mouseover and the frame changes. But visually there is no change and the animation is not played.
I have a Flash Professional CS5 project with ActionScript 3. I have a movieclip object with several gotoAndPlay ActionScript commands inside of it. I also have other gotoAndPlay commands on the main stage, linked to interactive events.
When I run the project via Ctrl+Enter, it works perfectly, without any issues. However, once I compile it down to a .swf or an Air 3.0 file, it runs, but omits some or all of the gotoAndPlay commands, both the ones inside of and outside of the stage.
I am working with some actionscript that are spread out amongst different frames, and having changing conditions, determines whether to end the sequence (gotoAndStop(1)) or continue (gotoAndPlay(5))
(For easy example):
frame 4=
x=1
frame 5 =
x=x+1
frame 6 =
if (x=10){
gotoAndStop(1)
}else{
gotoAndPlay(5)
}
I understand this easy example could be done several ways on one frame easily, (while x<10, etc).. but my code is so long and complicated, that the way I wrote it, it was easier to have it sort of "loop" between frames. The problem with this is, I think the frame jumping is slowing the coding down. I tried functions, (like having all coding in frame 5 as a function, then calling that function with the "else" in frame 6), but that would only run the function once.. I need it to keep looping.
On the same frame, I have two buttons - one with alpha transparency above an image, and one regular one. Both have the " on (release) { gotoAndPlay (2) ; }" code. The transparent one doesn't work, but the other one does.
View 2 RepliesI've got a simple button that when clicked needs to go to a particular frame and stop when it hits the stop(); however when I test it I get a type error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PostCard_fla::MainTimeline/frame25()
I need to be able to tell it what frames to go to manually so the user can jump around the time line using short animated transitions between pages (set up like a web page) in AC2.0 this was easy, but its different in AC3 and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is my code:
stop();
btn_flip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(28);
};
I'm trying to gotoAndPlay using AS3 in a certain frame inside a symbol, my target frame is inside another symbol which is "Carrera" (class name). Both symbols where placed on the scene by dragging from the library.
I've tried with:
MovieClip(carrera).gotoAndPlay(1);
Error Output:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert carrera$ to flash.display.MovieClip.
at fondoUcreativa/frame500()
Also tried with:
carrera.gotoAndPlay(1);
Compiler Error:Symbol 'fondo Ucreativa', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 500, Line 4 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type Class.
loaded = int(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100);
if (loaded>=100) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
My gotoAndPlay is working like gotoAndStop(); It will redirect to the frame but not continue the play.
I have no Stop(); funtions on the frames to cause this.
I created a movie with several nested movie clips. within these movies are stop actions to prevent the clips from playing at the wrong time. I created the gotoAndPlay/stop functions to play these clips at certain points of the animation. Now at first these actions worked smoothly and exactly as i wanted, however after several test movies, some of the gotoandplay/stop functions stoped working. Has ne 1 ever ecounterd this problem is there a way repair these actions without recreating the whole movie? i tried rewritting the scripts and still does not work.
View 5 RepliesBasically the title is the question. I want to loop the root movieclip; in this case it plays from frame 1 through to frame 240, then I want to loop back to 97-240 infinitely afterwards... I tried adding to an actions frame on frame 240, "root.gotoAndPlay(97);" and got an error call to a possibly undefined method).What am I doing wrong?
View 3 RepliesI'm having an issue with my code where im trying to make a different movieclip play every 2 seconds on the start screen for a school project. Simply by changing the array access number however flash is giving me an error code and I've narrowed it down to (i believe anyways)something wrong with my " mcArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); " because it works fine if i just put the name of the movieclip but not with the array.
The error code is:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

my timeline I have animated and placed all the images and info as well as 'stop();' and 'gotoAndPlay();' actions here and there, they are mainly to constrain part of the timeline so when the user clicks on a button he's taken past those constraints further on the timeline to another page with information. Problem is, I have four buttons, the first one has a on (release) { gotoAndPlay(107); } on it and frame 107 is past my first stop(); action and is working fine. The second one with the same properties and the same action just a different frame, doesn't work at all! All the buttons have instance names. I can't understand what's wrong. All I have are some stop();, gotoAndPlay();, gotoAndStop(); actions! Do they affect the button behaviors? It's really annoying me and giving me headaches... What am i doing wrong here?
View 7 RepliesI have a main timline with MCs in it. when the MC gets to the last frame, there's an onEnterFrame event telling the main timline to go back to frame 129 (labled "b1") and play.
I got the MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1"); part added to my function to call the root. however, when I test the movie, it does everything correct except play. it goes to b1 and stops. here's my as3:
code: this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,goBack);
function goBack(e:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1");
}
why it won't play? I've tried using just the frame number and that won't help either. there's nothing else on the main timeline to stop the movie...
I just migrated to CS5.5, and I'm seeing some weird behavior with imported movie clips within Flash Builder. I've got an .fla with a MovieClip with an AS Linkage of 'Card'. I've exported the .fla as a .swc, and included it within an Actionscript Project in Flash Builder.
Previously, I would call the code:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < currentCards.length; i++) {
var currentClip:MovieClip = MovieClip(currentCards[i]);
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop('unselected');
}
and everything worked completely fine. When I run this code within Flash Builder 4.5, after reexporting the .swc from Flash 5.5, I get the error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label unselected not found in scene unselected
I thought there might be something funky going on with the scene assignments, so I changed the code to be:
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop('unselected', 'Scene 1');
but then it couldn't find Scene 1. I finally changed the code to:
MovieClip(currentCards[i]).gotoAndStop(2);
and it worked fine. But why isn't it picking up my frame labels?
my gotoAndPlay does not seem to be working. On frame 1 I have this for testing purposes:
trace("frame 1")
and on frame 2 I have:
gotoAndPlay(2);
and I get "frame 1" traced out continually. It's going back to frame 1 for some reason.
I have a .fla file that consists of four images that appear, pause a few seconds, and disappear in sequence. Each image has an associated button that links to a different url. There are also four navigation buttons, should someone want to jump to a particular one of the images. My problem is, the navigation buttons use a gotoAndStop action to take the user to a specific frame. After one of those buttons is clicked, the buttons that link to the urls no longer work. They all work fine until a gotoAndStop action is called. The navigation buttons continue to work.
View 0 RepliesOn my first frame, I have: 6 buttons (p1 through p6). A holder mc_holder, which holds mc_pages, {a movie clip that shows 6 pages (each their own movie clip, page1 though page6) tweened across the screen, made to look as if the pages are being "flipped" through).
The following code:
Code:stop();
var _holder = mc_holder.mc_pages;
var picked;p1.goal = 1;
p1.onRelease = goPage;
p2.goal = 10;
[Code] .....
The problem is, as soon as the movie loads, ALL these animations begin to play. I am looking for a solution so that the animations will not play until the page is viewed. I am thinking I can put a stop on the first frame of each page, and a frame label ("go") on the second frame. Can I add this (my knowledge is limited but say... gotoAndPlay (go")) to the code shown above? I have tried messing around with it but have not yet had any results.
is it possible to create a gotoAndPlay function?would this be valid?
_root.gotoAndPlay = function(){
}
I would like some help on writing a piece of code.I need to write a function that if some movie clips are in some x and y value, then gotoAndPlay('end');
Code:
function gotoEnd() {
if
(tv_mc._x = 41.8;
tv_mc._y = 157.3;)
then
gotoAndPlay('end');
}
I have a custom function with parameter. I'm trying to pass the parameter to the gotoAndPlay as follows. This is where the function is called...
Code:
myButton_btn.onPress = function() {
myFunction("Apply");
}
This is the function...
Code:
myFunction = function (fLabel) {
trace(fLabel);
gotoAndPlay(fLabel);
}
Basically "Apply" is a frame label that I'm trying to send the playhead to. The fLabel paramater traces out properly, but the gotoAndPlay doesn't send the playhead to the appropriate frame label. It sends it to 4 frames before the end. It's really weird. Even if I add frames to the timeline, it still sends it to 4 before the end. I can get it to work perfectly in a "new" flash document, but not in my existing document.
I got a simple block of code that stops the main timeline on a certain frame, but so far I've been unable to form a code that would gotoAndPlay when mouse click happens on a button I made, and mind you I'm doing this in a document class. I've heard different instructions how to make the button, some say make it a movieclip, some say nest it in a movieclip
View 6 RepliesI'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.

I'm trying to get a quick replay command, "pressing space returns the scene to the previous frame".
[Code]...
The current function returns me to a previous frame (40), however the event does not stop, rather it keeps on adding new events ontop of each other once it returns to main frame. The main frame being where the actionscript is executed.
For some reason i'm having problems swapping scenes in my flash movie. At first i put the action in a "actions" named layer and a link to a button. So basicly when scene1 loads the frame 1 action is "stop ();". The viewer clicks on button1 which has a code of;
