ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clips With One Frame?

May 31, 2011

If I have SWF's that I am using for UI elements in a game, and in these SWF's there are layers with Movie Clips and these clips have only one frame in them - do I need to explicitly put a stop() in there for optimal performance?I'm curious if these movie clips sit there and loop with only one frame and in the end hurt the game's overal FPS

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function For _root - Control A Movie Clips Current Frame By Another Movie Clips?

Sep 13, 2009

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}

but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:

on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

IDE :: If Else "button" - Movie Clips Have A Stop Action On The First And Last Frame With A Frame Label

Oct 10, 2009

I have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.

I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.

When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Play Movie Clips In 1 Frame

Feb 1, 2010

I've set a list of movies symbols playing at different time line individually and put them all together in 1 frame on the main timeline. However, i'm thinking of playing those symbols 1 at a time without changing the main timeline. Each of those symbols has the stop(); on them. However, it doesn't seem to work as i thought it would be. Is there anyway i could create a button, and while clicking on the button itself, it plays the 1st symbol and stop before playing the next symbol ? Sorry, i haven't put up any codes yet. A newbie here doing his final major project.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clips On The Stage On The First Frame Of An Fla File?

Feb 15, 2012

i've got some movie clips on the stage on the first frame of an fla file. The mcies have event listeners to navigate to differnet frames on the timeline. Some of the frames to which we navigate have FLVPlayback components while others dont. i'm using some code for soundchannel in this fla, to create an array and load differnt music at a btn click, so that when we go to a certain frame we get some music. This works, no overlapping music.
 
The issue, that when we navigate to a frame with an flv that has an audio track, the the music that's playing on a different frame just wont stop. And another issue, when we navigate from the flv frame by clicking the mc that listens for the sound channel, the flv audio track wont stop playing and we get cuckaphonia.

Aug 17, 2010

Basically I have a flash website built on different frames of the timeline, the simplest way I think.Some of these frames have movie clips embedded into them using the flv playback component class.The problem I have is the following, the site works fine and videos play fine, but whenever I navigate offa part of the website to another, from a frame to another - the sound of the clips that were playing keepsplaying on the background and never stop and it keeps building up every time I navigate of.f each page.I want to remark that I believe is not only the sound that keeps playing "invisible" but the whole clip butThis is the AS code for my buttons on an example frame, would you be so kind to tell me what I should add or change

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Attaching Movie Clips To Already Attached Movie Clips?

Jun 5, 2011

As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.

Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.

Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?

Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details

code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating / Using Movie Clips Outside Of Movie Clips

Aug 18, 2005

Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.

What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

ActionScript 2.0 :: Empty Movie Clips And Duplicating Clips

Jul 19, 2006

I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sub Clips In Movie Clips?

I have continually run into this so i guess i just don't understand some foundation to how AS3 works.
 
So, I have a movie clip in the library (ClipA) - it is linked to a class.
 
Inside Clip A there are 3 other Movie Clips (SubClip1, SubClip2, SubClip3).
 
When I place ClipA on the stage i want to adjust the frame that each of the SubClips are on.
 
BUT, when I try to set them to a frame in ClipA's class file i get an error like this:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.

Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
