I have gotten my movies to play at random from external files but the links that where coded into the random swf files no longer work. could there be an action script issue? The random swf files are as3 and the player file is as2????
View 1 RepliesI have 15 movie clips that play one at a time. When the first one calls the second movie clip there is a short space (black screen) between the two which I have to eliminate. I tried loading the second one half way thru the first movie then tell it to play when the first movie is over, but when I do that you can see a disturbance in the first movies performance when the second one is pre-loaded. Is there a way around this so I can make 15 movies run seamlessly? They are separate .swf files!
View 1 Repliesi am looking for a flash/flex component that plays movies that are not .flv but .swf with controllers such as fast forward, stop, play and a timeline.I have a flv player which does the same but some movies I don't want to play bitmap movies but vector for quality reasons ( as movieclips )
View 2 Replieswherever I look for scripts is either AS 1.0 or 3.0... I used to work as a cartoon animator (didn't need AS at all) now I'm trying to build up my own site to show my portfolio. I'm having difficulties loading and unloading external swf files. Basically I'm a total newbie, I managed to figure out that you need an empty movie clip where it will be played, and the buttons themselves...
View 8 RepliesI would like to play external .swf files which will be located in a specific directory somewhere and I will be getting the filenames through a sharepoint XML file. The .swf files have no interaction at all they are just videos playing but I need them to play one after another and in a constant loop until the XML file changes.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to make a picture gallery where each image is contained in its own .swf file and loads with a button click.The gallery works fine but I would like for each image to transition in and out,or play the timeline of each swf.I have a stop action in the middle of each swf so the image tranisitions in and then stops but when another button is clicked it immediately loads the next image and doesnt play the rest of the tmeline and transition out. Here is the code I used to load the swf files.
stop();
var movieName:String;
function movieLoad(event:MouseEvent):void[code]........
I'm porting a simple application from browser-based to iPhone. It plays some external sound files. There are 2 main steps:
1) Load an external XML file that contains sound file paths.
2) Load the sound files.
Can this be done with iPhone or do I need to move everything into the .fla file and then just publish it to iPhone?
I've created an audio player with actionscript 3 which plays one of 55 different sounds, depending on a variable set from which button a user clicks on. It works fine for the first 1 or 2 plays, but after that the sound begins to double-up, or even triple-up. I'm using the code below./First I declare a few variables:
var sound:Sound;
var controller:SoundChannel;
var pausePos:Number = 0;
var audioReset:Boolean = false;
var playerObject:Object = new Object();//
The sound functions are placed within another function so that it can be called again once a new button is selected:
function audiofunc() {
//if the user is selecting a second audio file, it runs this "audioReset function to try to clear the EventListeners[code]....
audiofunc(); I'm assuming that somehow an EventListener isn't getting removed, so it's causing a few versions of the audio file to play at once. If I trace the value of pausePos, it starts to appear in multiples (the same number, but 2, 3 or 4 times) after a few plays of the different audio files.
I have 5 external flash files that i am trying to load randomly in from a seperate flash files (main.swf is trying to randomly load: Flash1.swf, flash2.swf, flash3.swf, flash4.swf, flash 5.swf)

I've got main time line as Main.swf (level 0) and few external swf files: Message_01, Message_02, Message_03 etc.By the end of the main time line there is a key frame with the script (AS2).The script should call randomly one of the external swf and load it to level 2.
View 5 RepliesI am working on a system that requires me to be able to load large video files using Flash. However, the problem I am running into is that users need to be able to seek to a random point in the file that may or may not be downloaded yet and have it instantly start playing (think Youtube). The video files can be hosted anywhere, and thus I do not have the ability to install policy files or anything of the like.
I have looked into this, and cannot find any answers. Does anyone know of a way to enable this random seeking in Flash files without policy requests or an RTMP server installed at the destination?

View 1 Repliesapologies if this seems like a redundant question... i've been reading through all the turorials and forum threads i can find, and am just confused at to what exactly i need to do next.... my first time trying to use preloaders but am finding i need them in order to make my project run smoothly.... my situation: want to preload 5 swf files into my main movie, and have them at the ready to play when i want them to (either by an onEnterFrame or onPress).
i started working with some preload array script from Scotty i found on one of the threads, but elsewhere i've seen info about putting extra frames into the uploading swfs and am unsure what i need to do with this or how it would fit in with the below code. right now, when i try to play one of the uploaded swf files nothing is happening, and i'm guess my code is wrong there too, but don't know what to put....

I have several movies that will be loaded into a main movie. I am loading the movies when the user chooses to open each movie. The problem is that then the user has to wait until each movie loads. Is there any way to change this?
View 1 RepliesHere is one of those problems that seems like it should work because it is soo basic in implemintation, but just doesn't....The trace in this code works, but the mcs that I want to play just wont move. I have a stop action on its own keyframe within each movie on frame 1. If I take the stop action out all the mcs will play/loop just fine.All of the code is on an actions layer, then each mc is within its respective container. I even put a test mc on the main level and it doesn't work.This is one of the instances where, teaching yourself flash is great because you learn exactly what you are interested in, however because of the lack of structured or formal training, the basics often escape you.
EDIT : Oh, and because I can usually solve something by tracing everything out...in this case trace has failed to shed light on theissue,

this.buttonContainer.btnSelect.onPress = select;
function select() {

View 1 RepliesI am creating a website that teaches kids about the about the brain and I am creating a website very familiar to this one, [URL]. I created one flash file and drew the background for where the text will display. Next I created several movie clips for each of the brain parts and I placed an invisible button over each of these movies, e.g., I told the button, "cerebellum_button" to play the movie "cerebellum_mc." which includs text.
I feel that my code is redundant because I am having to create an invisible button for each animated movie clip which plays a movie clips with text. Is there a way that I can centralize all of the text in the project then call it from different buttons? My aim is to have the user roll over the brain part, have it animate, and have it display the text that explains what that brain part does.
cerebellum_button.onRollOver = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnon");
} cerebellum_button.onRollOut = function(){
cerebellum_mc.gotoAndStop("turnoff");

View 1 RepliesI am in the process of creating a VS Card game in Flash. It is basically a game where you can choose either one card or another, each randomly pulled from one of the eight different sets. The first card (or swf) can be pulled from any of the 8 sets (out of a total of 12 cards in each set))..and will load into a targetMC, and the second must be pulled randomly from any of the 8 sets except from the folder where the first card was chosen and load onto the second targetMC.

I have a main movie with 2 empty movie clips on the stage. They have the instance names clip1 and clip2. I also have 10 swf files named movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, etc. I want to randomly load any 2 of these swf files into the 2 empty movie clips in the main movie. After the 2 swf files have been loaded, I want one of them to last 20 seconds, and then randomly load a new swf file to replace it. And the other one, after 30 seconds, will randomly load a new swf file to replace itself. And this cycle will go on & on...
