i want to gor from movieclip to scene 1, where i have set my menu on timeline.
Actually i have main movieclip on main timeline of scene 1, and inside that main movieclip , i'm having number of sub movieclips, so from that any movieclip i want go back return to scene 1.
I just wanna create my own website using actionscript 3. I. I have 4 buttons, each links to a specific page but instead of using frames for each page. I just want a whole movieclip wherin the target page moves to its target loation. Here's the attached image[code]...
View 3 Repliesi need help to this seemingly simple, yet frustrating issue i am having with AS3.
issue i have multiple movieclips on a timeline and i need the first one to load, play through all frames, than i need flash to move to the next movieclip in the timeline [load, play, than stop and wait for user input].
- i am completely new to AS3, i have used AS2 for years.
- i am moving all production in our studio to AS3 [so no AS2 comments or recommendations]
- i have been able to do this in AS2, but i understand that AS3 does not use roots, levels, etc.
- i have tried the gotoAndPlay(); [but i am not setting it up correctly to navigate to root timeline to find the frame name that the next movieclip resides in. in otherwords i can not get flash to go back to the root timeline]
- is it better in AS3 to find the movieclip or the frame it resides in?
I need a couple of buttons to take me to scene1 and scene2(CSR AS3)?
View 4 Repliessince my main swf file has accettable size is it wirth a loader?
here is what I see with a loader on
Frame # Frame BytesTotal Bytes Scene------- ---------- ----------- ----- 154751 54751 Loader (AS 3.0 Classes Export Frame)2 35699 90450 Scene 1
on release of the button, how do I navigate to a completely different movie clip? so I know about _parent and _root in terms of moving between layers but say I wanted the press of a button to gotoAndStop(2); inside a different movie clip that is not parented or on the _root?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project with AS3. On timeline I have a movie clip which contains a timer (only one frame). The timer for testing purposes has been set to six seconds. In timeline are two labels (page1 and page2). Timer is on page1. PROBLEM: I would like timer move to page 2 on scene1 when time is zero (0). how to do that. Here is my script:

i have two scenes, one acts as a preloader and is called "preloader" and the other scene, which is called ("Scene1") contains all the rest of my stuff.on the preloader scene i have inserted the following code:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void[code]....
But i am getting the following errors.'access of undefined property Scene1'When i put the Scene1 in quotations i get 'cannot find scene1 label on the timeline'
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...
I'm having a little trouble but I think the solution is simple. I have a button in a movie trying to start another movie rooted in scene1. I have some code placed in movie 1 to try and play movie 2, both movies are in a scene1 layer.

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;

Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.
View 5 RepliesI 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 built a drop-down menu navigation scheme in Flash. I've inserted it into my Dreamweaver page, but the links don't work. They only work if you were to set it to open up in a new window. Is it possible to have your main navigation be a Flash file, but link to your Dreamweaver pages?
View 5 RepliesWhen I click on different pages in my flash, for a split second, a white flash shows up, almost as if it's just a blank white page. How can I stop this from happening? It only seems to happen when I loaded the flash into an HTML document. Is there a code I can put in th actionscript to stop it?
View 1 RepliesI'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.)
A friend of mine wants to have some navigation-based mc links in frame 1, then nav to a certain frame, and then have a "back" button. When the nav mc links are clicked, the timeline skips to a given frame label.
Pretty simple.
Most of the links have the same nav mc in them, so when I nav to them, I can also access any of the other frames via something like:
linkg.Contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Contact_btn_clicked);
function Contact_btn_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("ContactPage");
}
The code above is in the first frame, and it is on it's own layer which spans the entirety of the frames in the project, so I would think that these function definitions would persist. But, when I go to a specific link, which does not have the nav mc in it, and then hit that particular frame's "back" button, all of my function definitions are gone, even though the nav mc links are now present, and as I mentioned the listeners should be active.
I need to open and navigate a website from a flash file.
I have to use a sort of "iframe"?
at the moment i have tried using booleans but this is making my code have many errors so i was wondering if there was another easier way?
View 1 RepliesI've seen a really cool flash website and im trying to incorporate some of its features into my own website. It resizes its flash file depending on your screen resolution and it uses the mouse curser to navigate in all four directions around the site... it can be found in the link below...

Does anyone know how i can make my flash file fill the screen, and secondly how to navigate the flash file using the mouse?
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.
View 2 RepliesI have just done couple of banners for Dettol with BG sound, now the client wants the sound to be stopped when he navigates away to a different web pageThe issue is Mouse-over the banner and press alt-tab. The music keeps playing and you can't stop it!Without mouse-over (music is playing at thispoint), press alt-tab and go to another application. Press alt-tab and comeback to the browser and the music starts playing, even though the mouse is not over the animation for reference
