ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Using Flash To Navigate A Video Timeline?
Aug 10, 2011
I've produced a 1080p "step-by-step" video for someone and they now want to add an interactive element to it.
Essentially I'm going to want a menu system at the beginning that has several options.
As a couple of examples:
I'll need one option to play the whole video from start to finish. One option to play just steps 1-7 before returning to the selection menu. One option to play steps 1-8, then 27-32 straight after, before returning to the selection menu.
Is there a way that I can do this with ActionScript? Or would it be more straightforward to just re-cut the video into different clips and then tell the buttons to "play clip 1" or "play clip 2"?

I have a Flash piece that has one main timeline that loads different movie clips and different sections of that main timeline.
On those embedded movie clips within the main timeline are sounds attached to the embedded movieclips timelines set to "stream". They have to be on the timeline so they sync up correctly (I can't load the sounds programatically).
I'm having the issue that when I navigate to a new section on the main timeline, the movieclip that was embedded on the timeline I navigated away from goes away, but the sound continues to play. I can't figure out how to get the sound to stop once I've navigated away.
I can't add a stop all sounds because the navigation of the movie is controlled from an external player I don't have control over (basically the external player just calls a gotoAndStop("myFrame") on the movie.)

I have recently created my own flash site and have added videos on it through creating my buttons. The videos are working fine, however when I click to another page the video is still playing. I'm really pulling my hair out over how to get the video to stop every time I naviagte around my site.

what's the simplest way to navigate within one timeline? I have a simple 5 page site and in a code layer, I assigned this script for each button: Home_button.onPress = function(){ gotoAndStop("home");
So when I tested the movie, I realized that I need something to make the playhead not move until something is clicked. Right? Do I still need to go into the actions for each button and say something like gotoAndPlay?

I am building a proof-concept-interface and have followed a tutorial to a T but for some reason my version won't work. I've only scripted functionaility for the login and access buttons. This is only for a proof of concept and I've already spent to much time on it.

I'm making a Flash presentation for a client which I will eventually publish as a Projector movie...All the animated slides are in individual scenes, but the individual scenes have several stop points.My client wants to be able to use the left and right arrow keys to skip backwards and forwards to these stop points. They also want to be able to press the spacebar at any point to stop and play the movie manually.

OK, I'm back, and I have another issue that's bogging me down. The project I am working on has individual frames, each of which holds separate movie clips. Within those movieclips are buttons which allow the user to navigate to the next frame in the main timeline. The button objects are different in each frame, so these aren't objects that I can just put on the main timeline (some are nested within several objects)
I want to be able to use a line like:myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rootnextframe);
and not have to always then follow that up with the function declaration. I've tried just declaring the function on the main timeline, but when the script within the objects call the function, it doesn't see it.
I have created an actionscript file that reads:package public function rootnextframe():void { MovieClip(root).nextFrame();}}
but I get the errors:Call to a possible undefined method MovieClip.Access of undefined property root.
So, clearly, I'm going about this all wrong. I feel like it's a waste to have a function that has only one line, but I can't think of any other ways to do what I'm trying to get it to do.

I want to make an animation over live action footage, I've looked on the guides and the ones which explain what I need to do are for previous versions of Flash and don't work on CS5.I'm wondering how I can import a video in to Adobe Flash CS5, so that it plays in the timeline frame by frame? I dont mean putting it on one frame so it will play, but so i can edit objects over the top of the flash in each single frame.

I wanted to setup an array of movieclip buttons to navigate across my timeline via labels, this is where it went pear shaped.
Having spent three days reading and attempting most online solutions I couldn't find a method which worked 100% without failing in some way or another.
I've had some joy with the method below having seen a blog entry covering different ways to call frames etc and which highlighted the bugbear below :
clipArray[i].mouseChildren = false; //Hidden bugbear
I've added the full code below so hopefully it may help anyone else who similarly nearly resorted to hari-kari in trying this.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var clipArray:Array = [btn_1,btn_2]; // Movieclip's called btn_1 etc...
[Code]....
This works fine, now however my understanding of whether it is 'good' code or not is an issue, if this could be improved in any way I'd like to know why and how as the problem with learning AS3 from 2 is that often you use code having seen it online without fully grasping the detail.
Adding MovieClip buttons with fluidity and which cancel out from an array became a three day mission when you're learning...

Im making an interactive video menu system in flash cs5, Ive split each menu page into labeled sections along the timeline. I have the following code placed in a specific labeled section so it should jump to the "Directory Screen" when the 3 key is pressed:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,fl_KeyboardDownHandler_9)[code].....
But when it goes to the Directory Screen, if I press 3 again it shouldnt do anything but flash seems to remember the code and when I press 3 again on the "Directory Screen" it skips to the next labeled item for some reason.

I'm currenlty working on a Flash project where I need to navigate to certain points in an FLV video. I've worked a little with FLV before, and I've worked with cuepoints to trigger other actions/events in Flash, but what I'm looking to do here is when certain events happen in Flash (could be as simple as someone clicking on a button) I need the video to jump to a certain point.
My first thought was to set actionscript cuepoints then have the events in Flash make the video go to those cuepoints, but I can't seem to find any information how to do that. All the information on cuepoints I've been able to dig up talk about using the cuepoints in the video to trigger other actions, not vice-versa.

im currently trying to extend my flash video player with the option to pause the video and then use the left and right arrow keys to navigate forward and backwards frame by frame. I already figured out that I can only seek to keyframes and not every frame and that seeking always gets you to the closest keyframe automatically.
I couldnt find a method anywhere to seek to the next keyframe automatically and if I try to seek in small intervals I sometimes end up on the next frame like I intended but most of the time I get thrown back to the keyframe I started because it�s the closer one.

I have a website that plays video1 when it opens. When you navigate to next page the video stops. One of the buttons on the second page plays video2. The problem is that video 2 won't stop using the same command that made video1 stop.[code]

how to stop the audio playing from a video when you navigate somewhere else. However none of these solutions seem to work for me.I have my buttons on the root timeline, and all my pages are seperate movie clips which are added to the timeline with labels. I tried the
Code: Select allimport flash.media.SoundMixer;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
but i also have audio streaming on the whole site so when i navigate to a page the audio stops.

I upgraded to Flash CS4 and found out i dont like actionscript 3. i have an older flash site I opened in CS4 and all the actionscripts work on the scenes. I began a new flash file and created scenes with the actionscript 2, but it wont let me enter the script in the actionscript window. Here is an example of what i am using to navigate with buttons. Can someone chime in and show me a simple method to navigate thru the scenes with actionscript 3 or how to continue to use actionscript 2.

I'm trying to do is use the "page up" button to navigate to different labels on the timeline. The problem is that the labels are in different scenes (for example label_5 is in Scene 3). So each time I go to a label outside the scene, I get an error message.
var myLabels:Array = [ "label_1", "label_2", "label_3", "label_4", "label_5"];
var nextLabel:String;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
