ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Playing A Certain Frame In Another MovieClip (timeline)?
Feb 3, 2011
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have some difficulties playing a certain frame in another MovieClip. I have two MovieClips, MovieClip(content) and MovieClip(about_page). The about me button is placed in MovieClip(content) and I used the following code to go and play MovieClip(about_page) that is placed in the timeline:
I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.
I have a movieclip that is comprised of multiple images.These images are used as the backdrops of various different pages of my portfolio.Every image is in a specific order, so if the user decides to go from page 1 to page 4, it will pan through the first three pages quickly before stopping on the 4th page. Simple Enough.The problem is I want them to be able to also do this while manipulating the timeline in reverse. So say if they're on page 4 and want to go back to page 2, it will 'rewind' the timeline and stop on page 2.know there are plenty of tutorials out on how to play a timeline in reverse, however none of which discuss stopping automatically when reaching a certain point that is before the beginning
I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.
I work on a truckload of flash banners and have progressed more into dispatching events from the final frame of a MovieClip that would contain an object (or collection of closely related objects) animating and then listening for them from the parent timeline so that I know when to continue the main animation etc.In the animation I'm working on currently, there's a car built from blocks over time (the blocks fall from the top of the banner to make up the car); this is all contained within one MovieClip (to make the resizing easier - all I'll have to do is move the entire MovieClip around).The problem is that when I place this MovieClip onto the timeline, it's represented by its first frame (which is nothing because no blocks have fallen yet). This makes it hard to work with because I can't really tell exactly where the car is going to be when the animation is done and so on.Is there a way to have the final frame of this MovieClip visible from the outer timeline?
I have two movieclips on the same frame but on different layers located within the movieclip. The first movieclip plays just fine. However, the second one isn't going ahead even a single frame. The code that I have mentioned below is located withing the second movieclip containing background image. And I think this code is causing the issue because when I remove this it plays perfectly fine. The function of this code is to automatically re-size background image with the browser dimensions. The whole code just worked fine on the main timeline.However, when I shifted it inside a movieclip its causing an issue.
//set stage for FBF stage.align = "TL"; stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
I have a Flash movie that attaches a .as defined MovieClip in the first frame of the timeline.In my MovieClip class, I attach a background image movie and a couple of buttons and whatnot - basically building a screen.If the user clicks a certain button on the screen (the button is defined entirely in actionscript and isn't on the flash stage at all), then I want to pop up a Window component.In my class file, I define _win:Window; but do not instanciate it initially.I defined the button's onPress event inside a load listener - this is that definition.
i'd like to control MovieClip timeline witch contain several DisplayObject (like Sprite, Button, ...) these DisplayObject have Motion (AnimatorFactory). How can i do seek frame-by-frame the MovieClip Timeline and use the currentFrame to control all Motion child.
I'm trying to think of an AddEventListener...When a timeline animation is playing, and it reaches a certain frame, in which the event listener would listen for.
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 am trying to play a simple movie clip when the playhead gets to a frame label called "home". The moveclip is called "playRollClick".I am trying to write this in as3.The code below is what I've come up with so far, but it doesn't seem to work.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,playRollClick); function playRollClick(event:Event) { rollClick_mc.play(); }
I'm making a flash site but I'm having a little problem: I preload my site with this code: Code: bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded()); bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal()); getPercent = bytes_loaded / bytes_total; this.loadBar._width = getPercent * 200; this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent * 100) + "%"; if(bytes_loaded == bytes_total) { this.gotoAndPlay(3); } This code works perfectly when I test it, but if it goes to frame 3, the MC's on that frame won't start playing... ? If I just remove the frames with the preload bar (so frame 3 becomes frame 1), all works perfectly...
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
chimera-studio.com/misery.fla Any ideas as to why this won't work?? It's such a simple concept...
I have this code on the middle frame of a movieclip in my main timeline. When the nav buttons are pressed they play an animation and report their names to a variable called "navigation" that's declared in the first frame of the main timeline.
I have an animation of a dog running across the stage and a movieclip called "legs" which is the legs moving. I want to loop the dogs legs for a certain amount of frames and then make it stop on a certain frame within that same nested "legs" movie clip.how to do this and where the actionscript should go?
I tried to get this right but it just won't work for me. It's probably something very simple. I have a video in a movieclip on my timeline. On the first frame, I have the stop(); command. I want to be able to hit the SPACEBAR: which results in pausing the movieclip and jumping to frame 2 on the timeline.
I have 6 frames on the main timeline each with a different movieclip. Is it possible that when one movie clips finishes running it will go to he next frame on the maintime line and run the next movieclip on the next frame with AS3?
I have two frames in the timeline of my flash file. On frame 1 there is a movie clip. How can I access this movie clip with code located in frame 2?
It doesn't matter whether the mc is already placed on the stage or is added dynamically from the Library - I just need to access the alpha property. I can provide a more detailed description of my file if needed.

I have a movieClip sitting on the first frame of my main timeline. When it gets to the last fram of the movieClip, I want it to go and play frame 2 of the main timeline. I have this code on the last frame of my movieClip:
[Code]....
It actually doesn't throw it just once, it keeps throwing it as long as my preview window is open. As if it just keeps hitting that frame repeatedly. Am I doing this correctly? Or is there a better way to do it in AS3?
In AS2 I need code for a button, on the main timeline, to go to a frame in a mc off the main time line. I have attached a picture of the time lines in case I have not articulated my needs well.
The situation is as follows:I'm using Action Script 2.0 --- I'm obligated to in the course I'm attending.I have a main timeline that has 3 frames. On the 2nd frame I have a movieclip named mc_nbr. On the 3rd frame I have a button "voltar" that when pressed I want it to "Go and Stop/Play" at frame 3 of the movieclip (that is embedded on frame 2 of the main timeline).
I used the folowing code for the button btn_voltar: on (press) {
I make a website. First I have a frame with a movieclip, where my entire page is within.Inside of that is where all of my pages is in different frames, and in each of these frames there are other movieclips with content. My example:Top level /Entire site/My pages, in different frames /Movies/Pictures/About/Etc./Content (inside the "Movies") /Info about movies/Movie one/Movie two/Etc./My problem is as easy as this: I will link from the "My pages" level, to the first frame in "Content" (info about movies)If i just link to the, "Movies" frame, I can't get from "Movie One" to Info about movies by pressing the button, wich lies on the "My pages" Level.
My script have a list of .swf files and needs to play them one by one. My problem is that i can't detect when the movieclip (containing the swf) completes playing.
I understood that i need to copmare between _currentframe and _totalframes of the moviecip but i keep getting 1 as the _currentframe (my main timeline contains only 1 frame).
Code: var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var loadListener:Object = new Object(); var container:MovieClip =
I have a video in a movieclip on my timeline. On the first frame, I have the stop(); command. I want to be able to hit the SPACEBAR: which results in pausing the movieclip and jumping to frame 2 on the timeline.
I have a menu with 4 movieclip buttons (movieclips that act as buttons) that when pressed make the timeline jump to a certain frame. The mc buttons have both "onrollover" and "selected" states. However the timeline also moves on its own, even if no button is pressed.
I need the buttons to assume the "selected" state when the timeline reaches a specific frame (as if the button had been pressed to make the timeline jump there). But I can't figure out how to do it althought I think it must be quite simple.
This is the code I'm using (controls the buttons and its on the first frame of the main timeline)
------------------------------------------------------------------------ // create an array of all nav buttons in group var groupinfo:Array = [birds, bears, bats, bunnies]; // create constants to define start and stop of fadein and fadeout sequences // (fadeout should be exactly the same sequence as fadein, in reverse frame order)
