ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing Timeline Actions Within A Movie Playing In UILoader Component?
Apr 14, 2009
I'm loading an external SWF("slides.swf") into a AS3 UILoader component on the main stage with an instance name of "loadWindow" when the user clicks a button.I'm also monitoring "slides.swf" loading with preloader script. When the movie in the UILoader is completely loaded, I want to advance it (the movie within the UILoader) to the next frame. In AS2 it was easy to reference a swf loaded into a movie clip... the nested movie's root took the place of the MC's timeline.
stop();
load_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadFile);
function loadFile(e:Event):void {
[code]....

I was wondering, what was the best way to for actionscript 3.0 to detect cuepoints playing from a FLV movie that is playing from an FLV playback component?

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.

I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.

I have a movie clip on my timeline and it has maybe 60 frames in it. There's enough space for it to play and loop, and when I press ctrl enter to preview it, it plays as expected. However, as I scrub through my animation, the only things that play are the motion tweens I made. The movie clip just stays stuck on the first frame. I was curious so I exported it as is right now and it goes through the frames correctly there too. However, this is fustrating because I want to see the movie clip cycle through it's frames when I scrub through my timeline!

I'm trying to play the timeline forward or backwards by either pressing and dragging left or pressing and dragging right. I can't figure this out.
I have been using instances of buttons to do this but I don't want to use buttons I just want to be able to press anywhere on the screen and weather I drag left or right the movie plays, if I stop pressing the movie stops playing on its current frame.

Excuse the probably simple question but I'm just starting off with Flash.I have imported a few video trailers directly into flash and saved them as movie clips. I want to be able to insert these movie clips onto the main timeline and play them one after the other, repeating once they have all played. On the main timeline I have set a layer for each clip and a keyframe where the clip is inserted for each layer. When I go to play the flash file, it is showing the first frame from each movie file and then moving to the first frame of the next movie file. What do I need to do to make flash play the entire movie file in that specific frame before moving to the next frame where the next movie file is and playing all that movie?

function goIntro(event:MouseEvent):void { intro_animation.play(); }

I've got them on a layer named "BG" and each movie clip is in a key frame. The ActionScript is on a seperate layer named "AS".

The movie clip is an actionscript movie which calls images from an external XML file and shows them as a slideshow. What i need to do is after the last image plays, stop the movie and move the main timeline to the next scene of the main movie. Everything logical in my brain is not working, and it may be that I have been staring at this project for too long but for the life of me i can't make this work.

I am trying to dynamically load images through the UI Loader component. Attached are the errors I get, and although I think that the coding is close to correct, when I publish, it just flashes up then restarts the movie...

I am loading dynamically a big image into a uiLoader component. And using the following lines:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followFrame); function followFrame(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = myUILoader.x + mouseX; myUILoader.x -= dx / 10; var dx1:int = myUILoader.y + mouseY; myUILoader.y -= dx1 / 10;
I manage to make the image following the mouse just fine. But the image always off center, as the registration ponit of the uiLoader would be on the left size, even if I try to align it to the center of the stage by:
myUILoader.x = (myUILoader.stage.stageWidth / 2) - (myUILoader.width / 2); myUILoader.y = (myUILoader.stage.stageHeight / 2) - (myUILoader.height / 2);

I have a UILoader on the main timeline, then I have to load an external mc with a ENTER_FRAME event in it. When I load something else, I found the ENTER_FRAME event is still working. Why doesn't it unload with the mc?

OK. I have an empty MC sittin on the stage named "M1_mc".
In the first frame I have:
Code:
var movieOne:Loader = new Loader();
M1_mc.addChild(movieOne);
movieOne.load(new URLRequest("movie1.swf"));
At this point, the external swf is playing.
How do I control the child SWF playing? Let's say i wanted to stop() or gotoAndPlay(x) within its timeline?

I am building a gallery inside of flash using the UILoader component and some buttons. UILoader is preloaded with p1.jpg.I have written script to allow the button to go to the next picture in the folder like so:[code]But instead of going through all the pictures sequentially it gets stuck on p2.jpg. It only advances after several clicks and then goes back to p2.jpg. Can anyone tell me why it is behaving like this? Thanks.

I can import other classes to the timeline and use them just fine, but this class is giving me major problems? I am parsing XML data from my server on it and it is giving me errors that look like this.
The timeline reference and usage:
import networkScores;
var network:networkScores = new networkScores();
addChild(network);
score1Textfield.text = network.score1.toString();
[Code] .....
The errors I am getting:
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 4, Line 149 1119: Access of possibly undefined property score1 through a reference with static type networkScores.
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type networkScores to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

i just wanted to know if its possible to reference a different levels timeline. I want to create transitions in my site when loading dynamic content. I looked at the tutorial but it specifiacally relates to loading movies into movie clips. In my site i am already loading movies into levels.
I have my navigation on the main timeline (level 0) and im loading and unloading each sections content into level 1. Is it possible to load a movie on level 2 with a mask and preloader that will cover the content being loaded into level 1?

I have a 13 movieclips within another movieclip which in turn is placed on the root timeline. I have written a function in the actions layer of the main timeline:
function illboxClear(){
_root.illpre.ill1.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill2.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill3.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill4.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....
It sends the animation in each of those described movieclips back to frame one as you can see. When I try to call the function from actions on a button which itself within a separate movieclip placed on the stage:
on (rollOver) {
illboxClear();
_root.illpre.ill2.play()
} on (rollOut) {
_root.illpre.ill2.play()
} on (release) {getURL("boxer.html","_blank");
}
It doesn't work! Can I not call functions from button objects or have I made some other elementary error?

I'm trying to:Jump from frame 1 to a frame later in the main timeline Reference an object that exists on the stage in that frame, but not in frame 1
Like so:
ActionScript Code:
function endGame():void {
gotoAndPlay("gameOver");
scoreField.visible = false;
}
A movieclip with the instance name 'scorefield' exists in the "gameOver" frame, yet for some reason, I just get a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." This code is all within a function. By the time the reference to scoreField is executed, the timeline is at the right frame.

So I am using the following code to load an external swf and am trying to reference the timeline of the loaded movie i.e. a frame label. Say I wanted to do a simple gotoAndPlay what is the syntax? I would use (myloader.gotoAndPlay ("framelabel") this seems like an obvious answer but doesn't seem to work for me.
Code: Select allfunction yesClick(event:MouseEvent){

I will have to explain this in steps. I have a flash website, inside it I have the content on frame 2 (frame 1 = preloader) from there I have a content_mc which holds my pages. I have a home page (frame labeled home) which inside displays the home_mc. In here I have inserted a flvPlayback component. Here's where the problem is. I have moved a stop and volume component on it as wel which has automatically linked up (which is nice). But I would like when I click the stop button, the video disappears. The videoPlayback is called "introVid", the instance name is "vid", and is residing within the "home" mc.
I know the code is something like:
this.visible = false;
or
movieclip(root).home.vid/introVid.visible = false;
or I have also seen people using visibility = false...
However I cannot find out how to link this with the flvPlayback Stop button component. Inside the button all I can find is: The 4 button states,
some code on stop button itself:
stop();
this.upLinkageID="StopButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID="StopButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID="StopButtonDown";
this.disabledLinkageID="StopButtonDisabled";
I require to put my actionscript on the press or release, but I cannot find out to do this, I assume the code at the moment is calling a "flash component class" which holds the actions for "stopButtonDown" or something, I did have a go at manually creating a mc and a button, and making that stop the flvPlayback, and hiding the movieClip, but with no luck.
