ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Same Animation In Two Different Ways?
May 27, 2009
I'm trying to make an animation possible to play in two different ways. The first one is to play animation from beginning to end without stopping The second one is an interactive way - something like slideshow made in powerpoint. My idea was to use gotoAndPlay() function with stop() function. It doesn't work the way as I expect. For instance - I've one animation made of 500 frames. It makes up some 10 slides. If I put after every 50 frames stop() function then it's impossible to play this animation from beginning to end without stopping because of stop(). How to handle this? It would be nice if there was a function to indicate to play between some frames. For example, start playing from 1 until 50, then stop. Then start playing from 52 until 100 and stop .... then from 450 to 500. Besides that from 1 to 500.

I have a 30 second long animation (18fps). Movie symbol 135 frames long which loop 4 times using countTextField/if/else etc. and then gotoAndStop on a static frame. According to the company that are posting it on their site, the animation doesn't stop.
Are there any other ways of completely stopping an animation?

I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?

I have a flash ad that I can only play once. After it plays the user is required to mouseover to play it. When their mouse leaves the ad it stops playing.I am not sure what code I need for this. I am guessing a stop action with some extras.

I'm working on a small piece that involves a movieclip that scrolls slowly from the beginning on enterframe, but when a button is clicked it goes directly to a certain point on the x axis.
The first piece of it is here:[URL]..You'll see it's kind of wack right now, bc I can't figure this one issue out...
For the buttons I have this bit of code: (Where photo_mc is the movie clip i'm moving)

This should be very simple: I want to fade-in a Movieclip (called MC1) using Actionscript.I normally use this (and it works just fine):
[AS]
this.MC1._alpha = 0;
this.MC1.onEnterFrame = function()
{
[code]....
Well, even though I can see the alpha values decreasing step by step (throughout the "trace" instruction), the fact is that the MC does not fade-in at all, it's just starts at a 100% alpha value.How comes this illogical behaviour? The instruction "trace" shows what it should do, but Flash does not fade it in.

I work for the NPS, and they have an outdated CMS. I have no rights to upload an .html file, or edit one that the CMS makes. SO, I am forced to use their little deal to display my .swf files. url...I made an eHike in as3 Flash CS4. It has two scenes, the first scene is the preload, second is splash content and ehike content. The problem is I cant get the preloader to display in IE. I have all actionscript content exported to the second frame, as talked about here:[code]I have tried many different ways to load the preloader.there is a simple text field for the percentage, and a simple 100 frame animation. preloader_mc.[code]The CMS lets you decide in the popup window if it is resizeable or not. This works in IE (stopping people from resizing), but not in firefox, people can resize it. Is there any way to disable the resize in AS3? Again, I understand that your supposed to export the .html file with these settings, but I have no permissions to upload or create new .html files.

I'm working on a big app. I need to enable back native keyboard shortcuts(e.g. CTRL+T opens new tab). e.isDefaultPrevented() called in handler returns false, but still when I press CRTL+T new tab is not opened. Is there some other way to disable keyboard shortcuts except e.preventDefault()?

One thing i've learned in VBA, is there are multiple ways to skin a cat in Excel. I want this:
Only, I'm rather frustrated with trying to convert my AS1 coded template into the AS3 for the day. So I'm guessing I can't use the UiLoader like in the video unless i'm missing some checkbox somewhere.
Any one now how to do the similar thing only using AS1 and in "for dummies" language please?
So far this community rocks with the feedback and help. I'm sure some genious knows.

I'm building a historical timeline app in Flash. The main feature will be an MC containing links to specific event in the history of an organization. The MC will scroll, and there will be a couple ways to scroll it. One type of navigation will be fwd/backward buttons, and I want them to work such that if the button is pressed and held, an MC containing links will scroll w/increasing speed (up to a limit), but if the button is clicked, it will just move the MC a specified amt.
An example of what I want to accomplish can be seen it this HP timeline: [URL]

I've been playing around with some simple test animations using Arrays in various ways. One of them consists of 15 squares and I want them to grow and shrink as I mouse over them. I've gotten it to work with both Tween and onEnterFrame, but for some reason it will not work with setInterval. It's something to do with clearInterval. When I pass the i value to a new square the previous one stops where it is instead of continuing to grow and shrink. Tween and onEnterFrame don't have that problem at all. I've attached two fla files. The one using onEnterFrame works just fine. The setInterval one really doesn't work at all.

I'm using Flash CS4 and I'm trying to create what I think is pretty simple. I have a tree that will have leaves. I want the individual leaves to fall on mouseover. When the animation is complete, I want the leaves to stay where they land and not reset back up on the tree. I know how to tween and animate the leaves, but everything else is really falling apart for me. I feel like this should be pretty simple. I've created the tree and leaves in illustrator and am importing the .ai file into flash and turning each of the leaves into a bitmap (as opposed to a movie file)

If on a basic website I have some animation that plays in first before the buttons appear. How can i get the animation to play out (outro) before going to the page? Is there some kind of detection or something that will detect the button being pressed, play the outro and then head off to the page. I'm using external .swf's to load in content and my timeline has labels on - to keep the main file size down.

I am having trouble getting a simple animation to play properly, on a site designed by someone else, in IE. It works fine in Mozilla and Safari. In IE, on some computers, it shows up but there is a prompt about downloading a Shockwave add-on. On other computers it doesnt show up at all. Going from Mac to PC is also presenting problems. I'm freelance, so it's not like I'm in the office with these other people, so I only know what's going on with the 3 pc's I have at my disposal; which is as described above.

Flash CS4 Mac OS 10.4.11 - I am new to Flash and have always created small web animations in Image Ready. However, the Flash animations I have seen are so much smoother so decided to learn how to make one for next clients website. The animation keeps looping when I have specified in Flash that I want it to play once when page loads (see screen snatch attachment). Checked in 'Publish Preview' to see if it was just happening when the file was loaded into Adobe GoLive, but no, it does it in Flash.
I have tried saving in all the variations allowed but to no effect. The other thing that happens when checking the GoLive site in browsers is that for an instant before the animation begins, the background of the animation is white when I made the Flash document background a grey (F5F5F5), the grey background does kick in immediately afterwards. I have also attached the .swf file and a html file for general viewing.

ActionScript allows you to mark a variable as [Bindable], causing any changes to that variable to have immediate effect all over your application.How would you implement this feature in your favourite programming language?

I have a product that I am showing call-outs on. Little dots that when rolled over trigers an animation and displays information about the feature. This in itself is no problem, I have seven of these set up as buttons that work when rolled over. However, the people I am setting this up for would like the animations to be on auto play when the user is not interacting with the flash piece within a greater page. I thought I could just build a movie clip with all of the animations compiled and let them run on a layer and then when a users curser came into view of the flash piece it would stop the movie and allow for the user to manually rollover the features.

I made a flash banner that includes a videofile and some vector animations. I would like this banner to play from fram 1 to the last fram and then reverse play back to frame 1 ad infinitum (the whole movie should do this that is). I cant just reverse the frames though, because of the videofile (at least I think so?)
