ActionScript 3.0 :: Listen For The Frame Number And Display Current Frame?
Nov 17, 2009
I have tried this a dozen different ways and I really am at my wits end.
I have a presentation that works like a powerpoint. Everything is working as it should, except one part. I have a movie clip with an instance named slides, and I want to actively display which frame number you are in this move clip.
I have tried more than one why but I see no reason why this should not work:
var frameNum:Number = this.slides.currentFrame;
this.frameText.text = "P�quina " + frameNum + " de 173";
It appears to work at first, but does not update when I navigate the slides. It constantly says 1. Before I just added a function to the back and next buttons to frameNum++ and frameNum--, but after I created the Menu I would prefer it to automatically detect what frame it is on.
I feel like such an idiot but after trying endlessly I still haven't managed to come up with a way to display the current frame number of nested movie clip ("ecke1") (in a dynamically created text field).The problem really is that I don't know how to have flash keep updating the variable. Here's my latest attempt:
Code: var frame:int = 0; addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,updateframe,false,0,true);
I have a gallery controlled by 4 buttons. The images are loaded by XML and have a timeline animation. So they slide in and out.I want to add an event listener to the buttons so they finish playing the movie before loading the new image. Can an event listener listen for a frame number in a MC?[code]
I want to get the current frame and current scene because I want to be able to return to that same exact scene and frame when I click a button that goes to a different scene. When I click a button that says "Exit" I want to go back to the same spot as before.
I have a movieclip placed in the main timeline. Inside that movieclip, there is another movieclip.I need to know the current frame number of the inner movieclip when the animation is playing.And report that current frame number back to the actionscript in the main timeline.
I have four movie clips (.f4v) in 4 frames in a movie with watch buttons.. This movie has them been imported into a main movie container that has next and previous buttons. However if i play a movie then hit next frame, the movie continues to play in the background. The code below shows one of the actionscripts for a movie clip and then the main actionscript in the main movie.[code]...
I am trying to use this if statement with a frame label instead of a frame number. I believe that _currentframe is looking for a number only. Is there a different command that looks at frame labels instead of frame numbers?
is it possible to find the frame number of frame label with AS if a button is rolled over, the timeline jumps to a label - which plays a set of 3D rendered frames to 'raise' and element, once a user rolls out of the 'button' area the button is meant to 'lower' - which can be done by simply playing backwards to the previous label.

In preloading a movie, I need to listen to the load progress of an external FLV that resides on the next frame-- the grandChild of a movieClip on the stage.This is the actionScript of the mentioned grandChild:
Code: import fl.video.*; function onFLVComplete(event:VideoEvent):void { event.target.play();[code]....
Now, if I understand it correctly all I have to do is listen to (making sure my child mapping is correct) this loader....correct? I have the following in on the first frame throwing a 'reference to null object or property' error:
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.
how can I get the current frame of a MovieClip.It's an animation that just loops over and over when its opened with ctrl+enter.On the stage its just one layer and one frame, but when it's double clicked, it has its own timeline with 20 frames.
Actionscript Code: //what i had but it shows frame 1trace(myMovieClipInstance.currentFrame);
display the current frame when it changes. So something with a while loop. Like while the movie clip is playing, display the current frame.
How to get the current frame? At first its in the starting frame. What I want to do is when I press Enter gotoAndStop(3); and again pressing enter key and if its in frame 5 gotoAndStop(5); etc. So how to know which frame I'm in at the present moment? One way I did is giving all the keyframes (3, 5, etc) a particular label and check using 'currentLabel == 3 ,..etc'. But is there any way to do it without giving it a label by merely using the keyframe numbers?
Is there a way to get he current frame of a movie clip that is playing? For example I have myClip which is a MovieClip, and the code is myClip.stop(); Is there a way to know which frame myClip stopped on? Such as frame 5 or 10 or so?
What's the sanest way to achieve something along the lines of this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe)?
What I want is that Flash re-loads the current frame as if I was using gotoAndStop (which does nothing if it is given the current frame as target frame).
When an animation stops, I need to give the user a way to again view the animation.Is there a way in AS3 to reload (or refresh) the current page I tried gotoAndStop(1), but the variables are not reset.
I am making a game, which currently works(!) by playing frame one repeatedly. What I would like to do is add two more frames (before and after) with frame 1 being a menu, and frame 3 being another screen (like game over/menu).
Basically I want to have a button on frame 1 with start or w/e and then it goes to frame 2 and keeps repeating frame 2 until gameover=true or similar. How can I do this? (basic I know!)
I am trying to get the Frame labels from a movie clip in AS2. I know you can go to any frame using gotoAndPlay , or gotoAndStop using frame names but now i am trying to get them... I have just being able to get the current frame number, does any one knows how to get the current frame name ? , where does this name is stored? know AS3 has a property called currentLabel or something like that, is there any thing similar in AS
I'd like to raise an event on every frame using the flvplayback... I defined the frame rate at 25 fps, and setted a listener for the Enter_Frame event, but it seemes that it doesn't manage raising an event on each frame (some are missed). Maybe there's a different method for raising events or knowing the current frame playing in the FLV that is streamed by the player.
im trying to make a commend that when it arrive the last frame it willcome automatic to the start, like a loop, but with button. it doesn't work like i did.
the code: trunkBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame_2); function fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
