I have a movie that has an intro to it. It also has buttons that take them to subsequent pages. Once they go back, I'd like the intro portion of the movie to not play. In other words, I'd like it to start at a particular frame after the initial visit to it.
I think this can be done with Local Shared Objects, but I haven't quite figured out how exactly.
I have a flash movie that I want to play once. If someone refreshes the page or goes to another page with same movie, I want it not to replay the animation. Is there any way to do that in Flash 8 and without frames or iframes.

Here's what I want to do:
I have a flash movie that I want to play once. If someone refreshes the page, I want it to check to see if it has already been viewed that day and if so, just go to the last frame of the movie instead of playing all over again.
Here's sort of a flowchart:
1. Start a flash cookie
2. Set a variable for a "check date" and "if viewed"
3. Check "if viewed" - no=play yes=checkdate
4. If checkdate = today=don't play goto last frame newday=replay movie and set played for that day.

but the video still plays in the background??
I have a series of buttons that when clicked go to certain frames which all display different content. I have a unique movie clip on each one of these frames that has an initial play in, followed by a looping animation (the character walks in, then loops waving or something of that nature), I would like the movie clip to have a play out animation (character walks off) when the user leaves that frame so that when they go to the next frame the new movie clip can play in (new character walks on screen).

View 0 RepliesI've created a repaly button to replay an imported swf file (instance name=dpCuspSub_mc) located in frame 1 of a movie clip. It works, but then it starts looping and I want it to replay only once.

I'm a graphic artist who has just started learning Flash, so please simplify as much as possible.
I have an AS2 project with two scenes, Scene 1 is has a pre-loader and Scene 2 has an embedded .flv animation from after effects with some other basic tweened shape layers and masks. I've used the Components UI and dragged a "Replay" button to the last keyframe with a separate actions layer with the following code:
stop();
Replay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, replayMovie);function replayMovie(evt){gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1);}
I'm a beginner in Flash and have been following instructions off the net but I can't get it to Replay the movie when the button is clicked, it does nothing.
I happen to have lots symbols with timelines, if I gotoAndPlay frame 1 from scene 1, most symbols won't play like they did on the first time.

I seem to have a problem with re-playing my movie clip buttons for a second time.
it is a little bit more complicated than that as it is over two SWFs (I have attached both flash files).
The idea is that when on the 'home' page movie clip buttons can be used when both SWFs are running. This works from the original loading, but once navigated to another page/section and then returning to 'home', the buttons on the menu1 file stop reacting.
very frustrating as i know it is probably some very simple thing that will fix it, like a _root or a this. or a play rather than stop somewhere, but I've tried for 2 days and I still can't seem to figure it out.
Also, if anyone knows how i can reduce the amount of repeated actionscript I would be eternally gratefull.
On the new site we are working on, it has Flash and HTML. The problem is when you click on the navigation buttons(which are flash) they should load a new external movie and open the new HTML page at the top. When you publish the file and click on the buttons, the HTML page loads, but flash seems to reload and play the same external movie the whole time. Here is the code I used:

I want to create a "replay" button on the last frame of my movie but it's not working.
Here's what I did.
1. I created a layer named "Actions" and in my last frame (frame 900) I created a "Stop" action.
2. I then created a button and saved it to my Library.
3. I then created a new layer named "Replay Btn" and created a keyframe in the last frame of the movie (frame 900). I then dragged the button onto the stage so it was in the last keyframe (frame 900) and made it into a button Symbol.
4. In the Properties Inspector I then typed in an "instance" name of "replay".
5. Then in the layer named "Replay Btn" I selected the last frame of my movie (frame 900) and added a keyframe in the same layer as my button. I then opened the "Actions" panel and entered this code.
replay.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
6. I then did a "Publish Preview" of the movie and got this error:
"Warning 1090: Migration Issue: The onRelease event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in Actionscript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ('click', callback_handler) In Actionscript 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. select a frame or use the code snippets panel to apply code to the current selection on stage."
I understand that I must select the layer and "right-click" to add an action instead of selecting the object on the stage, but I guess I'm just not sure how to get the "Replay" button to work in CS5. I've watched a couple of tutorials but they weren't done very well and were really hard to understand. I just want to create a button to replay the movie.
Let me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay(30);}
function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I have a html page that has a link, which links to another html page with a flash file on.

From my flash "home" frames, I have 4 buttons that take the user to different places on the timeline. One frame on the timeline includes a carosel of pictures that rotate and looks nice. I downloaded the carosel actionscript and xml documents online, I did not build them myself. Now, when I hit the "home" button to get back to the home frame, the carosel still lingers around. I would like to know how to hide it, or make it not come back at all when coming back to my "home" frame.
Here is my actionscript inserted in the frame:
import mx.utils.Delegate;var numOfItems:Number;var radiusX:Number = 1000;var radiusY:Number = 30;var centerX:Number = Stage.width / 2;var centerY:Number = Stage.height / 2;var speed:Number = 0.9;var perspective:Number = 130;var home:MovieClip = this;var tooltip:MovieClip =

View 5 RepliesWith AS, can I trace that user hasn't been operating on the computer for a while, say 5 miniutes, and then do something? theoretically speaking, to detect that there is no mouse or keyboard event for certain a period of time, and then do something~~ just like screensaver of Widows~
View 1 RepliesI have made a simple animation with music, 800ish frames, no actionscript, using CS4 When I export it as a Quicktime Mov it breaks up and leaves artifacts everywhere, I read that the spec of your mac can affect the export but I'm working on a mac pro with 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad core Xeon and 16GB Ram so I very much doubt its that. The only other forums I've seen (working) answers on are ones where you save the video and audio separately and rebuild it in after effects or something similar but I do not have that software (and surely you should'nt have to do all that). I need to import the movie into iMovie to add to another piece of film.

View 4 RepliesI have created an instance of FLCPlayback named "chili_player" which, depending on which button is clicked will play a certain video. This all works great.
my videos are located within videos_mc and in frame 80 of my site. I have other movie_clips and frames set up for other pages.
I have tried the normal method of placing the following code on every other frame the user can view.

I'm trying a shooting game from an incomplete tutorial online. I'm trying to finish it off myself and hopefully learning more in the process but straight away I've hit a brick wall.The stage is 900 x 350. Bullets are fired from a turret near the center of the screen and will travel and eventually leave the stage at some point. I want to remove the bullet from memory and the display list once it has left the stage and can no longer be seen.I'm using a conditional if statement to check the x and y position of the movieclip, and if it outside the width or height of the stage then I want to remove it completely.

stop();var angle:Number=0;var radiansToDegrees:Number=180/Math.PI;var degreesToRadians:Number=Math.PI/180;var currentTurretRotation:Number;var

I have some htmlText in a textField inside a MovieClip on the timeline. The MovieClip has a little (CS3) timeline motion tween on it - it grows and shrinks once. The htmlText is populated beforehand via ActionScript and the entire SWF sits inside a preloader "shell" that handles loading it and adding it to the displayList.
When the text expands - it looks fine. When it shrinks, the HTML bullets (UL and LI items) leave "trails" behind - and thus create a "streak". The funny thing is, if later on I move the playhead forward using gotoAndPlay(), the streaks disappear, even though it's not moving to a new keyframe for that MovieClip. So it's clearly a screen refresh issue.
I tried turning runtime bitmap caching on, and the bullets did not display whatsoever.

Maybe someone has some insite on this before I open an artery. I have a timeline, seperated into sections. The navigation targets frame labels. On one of those keyframes there is a flv. When you play that video and then navigate to another frame without stopping the video, it continues to play. I've tried giving it an instance name and adding a stop action to it that resides in the button functions so when it navigtaes to another frame it would stop. However, when I click on any button and the movie is not currently playing, I get a error message that reads TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I assume it is looking for something that is not currently there. It has been suggested that I use the SoundMixer.stopAll() but that removes any background music currently playing.
Do I need some kind of conditional statement that detects if the flv is currently playing?
Can FLV be controlled with a simple instancename.stop() ?
