I want all my libray object that are classes to load on frame 2 except for one which is the preloader class I want this to load on frame one.
I can go into my publish setting and set frame two for all the classes to load, but then my preloader class isn't available until frame two.
can I write a line of code that will make the preloader class available on frame one instead?
I've got a simple flash-based .exe that I'd like to load and play a move between a certain time of day. For example, the loaded movie should play everyday between noon-1pm and 2am-3am. The movie should then unload and go back to the original movie at the end of each time period. How and the world do I write the script for this?
View 2 Replieshow do I load library objects by string list using Flash and AS3? I need to understand string lists, arrays, and sprites better.
WHAT I WANT TO DO Load enemies to stage using a string list "Orange ball, red ball, green ball etc"
EXPLANATION The tutorials I've been given are too basic, or they are incomplete examples that don't explain the classes being used.
Trace statements are not showing me how I'm accessing the name or class of an object.

Im using the flvplayback to put up a video in my swf. in my swf i also have several buttons. the thing i want to do is when i for example click a button i want to start playing the movie from 5 seconds in it and then stop the movie at for example 10 seconds in it. even if the video is 20 seconds long i want to be able to stop it automatically at 10 seconds in the movie. the start and stop should be controlled from the button..
i know how to start the movie at a specific time but i dont know how to stop it at a specific time.
I'm creating a timeline to stop a movieclip at specific times.
Using setInterval I'd like to use an if statement to pause my movieclip at each of the times indicated by variableTimes:
variableTimes = [15, 20, 25];
if(myTimer=variableTimes){
myMovie.stop();
how to give variableTimes three independent variables.
i'm having trouble finding the answer to a simple (I hope) question. I made a flash banner and have successfully added an action that will loop it 3 times, stopping on the last frame. Here is the code I entered in a separate action layer:
INSERTED A KEYFRAME IN FRAME 1:
if (numberOfTimesToLoop<3) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
numberOfTimesToLoop++;
[Code]...
I have a banner with 4 MCs in it. Right now it starts automatically and loops endlessly. I would like the animation to play through 2 times, jump to frame 60 of the first MC and stop.

How do you load external library objects from an external swf? I want to have an external swf that only contains library objects that are exported for Actionscript, and load these from the master .swf file dynamically during the master swf execution. (I may have multiple external swf resource files)I want to be able to load the external swf, and then access it's library objects via actionscript in my main swf file.
View 6 RepliesI have a question about movie clips. I have about 20 MC-s in my flash. Is it possible for me to duplicate one of them multiple times in specific location? I mean if I have button that says "DOG" and I press it, then new dog appears on screen. And I need to do it for like ten times or so

how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.

Basically once my animation loads I want to pull in an external SWF at a specific frame, basically like the "home page" swf that will display first. Underneath that I will have "About Us, Contact, etc..." and those will each load an external SWF into my movie clip. My movieclip right now is called mcHolder. Here is the code I am currently using for the buttons:
Code:
//About Us Button
function test2(evt:Event):void{

I have 500x500px images in my Library that I want to load to a specific set of coordinates. I've found various hints on how to insert images programatically, but none state how to insert to a specific location.Currently, my code goes something like this:
var image:Bitmap;
switch(conStyle){
case 4:
var chart:IF= new IF(); //Flash CS5 doesn't need the dimensions passed on
image= new Bitmap(IF);
}
However, this sets the default location to the upper left corner. How can I set the xy coordinates for the image to be displayed at?

View 3 RepliesI've searched the threads to find something that may help but as i'm not too good with AS i'm not sure what Is relevant to what I need. So i'm hoping someone can put it simply for me.
I have a pattern in the background of each page on my website which sits on the Index page. When each new page is loaded, on release of the relevant button, the background pattern should change colour. I have 9 pages to load therefore it changes colour 9 times.
What sort of code should I use? I'm not familiar with changing colours in AS!
I am trying to create an interactive 3D canvas, e.g. it loads up the person image and loads it into several - pre warped- movieclips... trouble is when I run this:
ActionScript Code:
function imageLoaded2(e:Event):void
{
canvas_wrap_mc.canvasF_mc.addChild(imageLoader2);
[Code]....
It only executes the last one instead of them all, when I remove the last one (canvas_white_mc)... it goes to the next last one canvas_black_mc...
I'm obviously doing something wrong, and everything about addChild and loading external images for me is a bit loose weave!

View 6 RepliesRight now I'm working on a website that has movie clips that I want to tween back and forth across the stage when a button is pressed.
Here's the idea:
When 2_btn is pressed, I want 1_mc, 2_mc, and 3_mc to move from right to left and then stop when 2_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 3_btn is pressed I want all three to be animated from right to left until 3_mc is positioned on the stage, stop moving and play
Then if 1_btn is pressed I want all three to move from right to left until 1_mc is positioned on the stage, then stop moving and play
Basically I have no idea how to accomplish this, or how to word it into Google.
What I have right now, which obviously isn't accomplishing what I want is:
Tween from left to right across the timeline, and then using a gotoAndPlay, and then stop(); on the frame..
the aim of this script is to make a slide show, loading images form an external file (called: images) they fade in, then fade out, then load the next swf in the Next Level.My Question is that I cannot manage to set different times when the image load to stay in the screen (1, 2, 3 sec (1000, 2000, 3000 miliseconds) and then to fade.They Need to fade in, stay 1,2 or three seconds, and then fade out... but its not working, I used the SetIntervalID but nothing after loading the 1.swf this will call a 2.swf with a different time of the image to remain, lets say 5 sec, and then this swf will call the 3.swf and remain 8 sec??[code]
