ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Few Frames Of A Movie In Reverse But Stopping At Set Points
Feb 11, 2010
I'm very new to flash and even though i'm capable of using the search function and finding posts which look relevant i don't really understand them, most notably i am only familiar with controlling a movie clip with buttons within the movie clip symbol and i get confused by actionscript that seems to do otherwise.
Within a frame on my main stage i have a movie clip symbol of around 125 frames. To control this movie clip symbol i have 4 button symbols within the movie clip symbol. The actionscript code that runs throughout this movie looks like this[code]...
This leads to free frame by frame navigation using the buttons forward_btn and backward_btn and if you'd like to move to set points in the animation you can use the fastforward_btn which plays the movie clip forwards until it hits a stop command on one of my chosen frames.
What i'd like to do is have a button that plays the frames backwards until it hits these frames. Is there a combination of while loops and prevFrame() i can use or anything straight forward?
I'm trying to set up 2 buttons. 1 that plays 5 frames and stops each time it's released and 1 that does the same in reverse(goes back 5 frame and stops upon each release) I.E. a forward button and back button. I'm creating a flip through brochure.
I've created a slide presentation when you click the next button the playhead advances to the next frame plays a movie clip and stops (the stop() is at the end of the movie clip script). When you click the previous button I would like the playhead to move to the previous frame, play the movie clip in reverse and stop at the beginning of the clip.
I have a movie clip which I want to play part of it in reverse when I click the button.
For example before I click the button, the movie clip will play from frame 150 to 155 then stop. Then when the button is clicked, the movie clip should play from frame 155 to 150.
I have movie clip buttons, that on rollover playthrough from frame 2 to 15, then rollout play the animation through til the end to return to the 1st frame. Is it possible to have the movieclip on rollout play through in reverse to the frame 1 and reverse the animation?
Because sometimes you may get to frame 8 or so, and it keeps playing even know you have already rolled out of the movieclip. Is there any code for this or an .fla file someone could give me.
Does any know how to play a movie clip in reverse. I have tried the copy frames and reversing them but that does not want to work for my animation. I am just looking for a simple script that when someone mouses over the invisiible button the playhead moves forward and when they mouse off the playheads moves backward from the frame its on.
I have a MC inside a button and I put in in the "Over" state how to make the MC play in reverse on mouseOut? Or is there a better or easier way of doing this?
Actionscript 3 ---- Looking to have a movie clip and 2 buttons. Click the right button to make the movie clip go to the right, left button to make it go left (play backwards in the timeline) Currently the movie clip is set up as a 90 frame animation that moves across the stage on a motion tween. The right button just makes the movie clip play, so I'm looking to make my left button play that timeline in reverse. I've found lots of examples for AS2 online, but none for AS3......
i want it to be stopped when tjhe page opens then when you mouse over the clip plays to frame 10 and STOPS while the mouse is over it then when the mouse is no longer over it i want the movie clip to play in reverse and stop
what im trying to do here is have a button's (named btn) over and out states make a movie clip play forward or reverse. and my fla is named MCC. im fairly new so the more detailed explaination of the code the better. this is my code so far in the MC
I have a time line of 500 points. On a timeline that wraps around how do I find if the shortest distance between two points is to go forward or backward? Example,I'm on frame 30, the target frame is 100 and the total frames are 500. I know that going it will take 70 frames to get to 100 going forward and 430 to go in reverse but I don't know the codes to figure this out. I'm using ActionScript but I think I would understand the codes if it were written in other professional languages like JavaScript.
All i want to do is make a video streaming in a video object to stop on a cue point, and play from abother when a button is pushed. It's relatively simple, right? Wrong. Over a hundred $s in how-to books and several hours wasted searching online later and I have nothing. I have checked and re-checked the cuepoints are correct (i made them in flash video encoder CS3) and tried just about everything as far as AS is concerned. Here is my latest attempt: (obmintro is the player instance name, i have the rtmp info in source under player parameters and it plays fine)
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;obmintro.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);function cp_listener(eventObject:Object):void{if (eventObject.object.name == "site_end");{ obmintro.pause(); //i have also used stop, stop("obmintro"); and i don't even know what else.}}
I've set up my flash movie to play and stop at certain frames in the movie. I'd like to add a pause button to pause the movie anywhere in the timeline or animation and then resume from spot it's paused on. This is for a presentation.
give me the actionscript for a bar that has a play and stop button to play and stop frames in a flash movie. i would be gratefull if you could as i am really stuck
how I reverse through frames.I can certanly have a loop that calls prevframe.But, what I want is to know when I have reached a certain frame.The only way I can think of how to do this is to know the exact number of frames, and then use a loop that loops the exact number of frames I need.
how can i reverse the frames.what i mean is if for example u have a motion tween of a circle sliding to the right.what should i write in the last frame of the motion tween so the circle will go back..._current frame--?
Im trying to create a motion where as when you select a object from the home page all the objects slide out and off screen before the new content loads.
Ive got it set up so that it all loads into a swfLOADER. Is their a way that i can make it gotoAndPlay an out phrase before loading in the next content on the swfLOADER. I dont even know if what im trying to do is possible?
Have not sucseeded so far as it just wipes the page before playing the out phase. Is their any way that i can make this work??
currently got it saying on release gotoAndPlay "out" and then on the next line loadMovie "about"
I have a dropdown menu that animates into place. I have the main button triggering an animated drop down menu that slides into place. On rollout I would like that to animated back . Currently it just closes. Is there a way to have the actionscript reverse the animation from the current frame to the one it started on? Basically on Rollout, I would like the animation to just reset.Here is the FLA. Only the "Web Development" button is scripted yet.
My inquiry is, if I have a MovieClip with an animation, and I need to play this MovieClip by button, I know I need to use this action // on (rollOver) // telltarget() // play()
but if I want to rollout before the animation reach the last frame, for example the frames are 90 and I decided to rollout in 50.
How I can make the frames go backward to frame 0 after I rollout of the button ??
For your information I have MC flash 8 professional.
I have a image gallery where you can click a foward button or a backwards one. I have each image on every 15th frame. So when the person clicks the next button it plays from 1-15 where it stops if they click back it will go to 15-1 etc. I got it working with the 2 images so I can go between them but when I add a third it won't do anything. I execpt it's something to do with removing the event listener, but I'm not sure.
Code: stop(); var bRewind:Boolean = false; this.back_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseOver); this.forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseOut); function fireEvent(event:Event):void{ [Code] .....
Almost 2 years ago I asked this question about reversing frames on mouseOut.Lets say my animation is 50 frames. Between 1-25 the clip is tweening down. So if a mouseOut occurs any where between 1-24 the clip reverses (which works with the script GParis hooked me up with 2 years ago). But now if the clip reaches 25 I want the clip to stop there then on a mouseOut from that point play the second half of my animation (the clip tweening back up) the at the end ill have a gotoAndStop on frame 1, to await another mouseOver. So basically anything from 25 on I dont want it to reverse frames. Here is the script I have been using for quite sometime. (unfortunately all other skills have advanced except AS)
I have a movie clip on a scene with a button inside. How can I make this button to go to play frames on the scene but not inside the movie clip in AS3.0?
is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out.so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.
