ActionScript 3.0 :: Running A Function On A Specific Frame?
Nov 17, 2010
I have created a function to initaialise a menu movie clip however it appears on frame 1 but i want it to appear on frame 11 / frame label home_frm. please the finction is init();
i need to change the colour of a graphic in a specific movie in a specific frame. if i have a movie clip instance-named "sidetext" thats 15 frames long, and i want a graphic in the movie, called "letterp" to change to one of four colours that i want it to randomly at frame 10 and stay that colour uintil frame 15, how can i do this?
how do i export specific frames not all frame. ex: if flash has 1 to 200 frames. here i want to export 51 to 150 frames as a movie. if there is any command or plugin to export movie like this.
I have a timeline with a bunch of frames. At the beginning of my timeline (frame 2) I have actionscript that makes movieclips that are transparent (alpha 0) visible, and also some rollover and link/button code using a tween class. On frame 3 I have other movies that are visible etc. Frame 3 has stop code, and a frame anchor named "page2". For instance for the moviedclip "page_1" I have this code:
I have been doing really well figuring everything out up until now.[code]How it stands, what is this link pointing to? Can I make it target a specific frame in a specific movie clip?And if someone would be so kind and explain what this is saying in 3rd grader terms.
Basically once my animation loads I want to pull in an external SWF at a specific frame, basically like the "home page" swf that will display first. Underneath that I will have "About Us, Contact, etc..." and those will each load an external SWF into my movie clip. My movieclip right now is called mcHolder. Here is the code I am currently using for the buttons:
Code: //About Us Button function test2(evt:Event):void{
I'm trying to get the following movieclip smallbutton to link to frame 5 on movieclip cont.The way the timeline is built is as so:content_mc > cont > (more mcs) > smallbuttonThis seems to be an issue from every answer I've tried so far since the movieclip "cont" is not being called in the main timeline; first there's content_mc and then comes cont.How would I go about getting the movieclip "smallbutton" to link to the 5th frame of movieclip "cont"?This is for AS 2.0So far I'm at:on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("cont"); _root.smallbutton.gotoAndPlay(5);
if its possible, via AS3, to create a frame label in a movieclip on a specific frame.
Obviously I can do it by manually by setting up labels on the timeline within the target movieclip, but I would rather use an array so I can loop through it, creating a label name on a the specific frame each time?
so for example I would end up with: myLabelOne on frame 10 myLabelTwo on frame 25 myLabelThree on frame 115 etc
I making a game in flash and I have a timer counting down 30 seconds and when the timer runs out I want it to go to a different fame! I've no idea how to do this.. the timer is working at counting down 30 secs .

is there a way to detect the frame rate while the flash movie is running. I currently have it set to 30 fps, but i want to be able to react if someone has a slower computer so the movie is running at a slower frame rate.
My project works as intended, but after making a minor change a short while ago, something unbelievable happened. As far as I know, I only changed a button images, but now my preloaded does not load the swf beyond frame 1.
I have a simple flash game with two frames at the moment.Most of the stuff that happens is in as files linked to different movie clips.I orignially only had one frame my background frame and when testing I just press ctl+enter and bamm away it goes the actionscript runs as soon as the movie/game starts and ergo the game plays.My problem is this, I now want to have a start/home frame at the beginning (of course) which has the start game button on which when clicked THEN starts the game.Currently the game starts in the first frame along with the start button.How do I stop the game running straight away and my first frame only contains the start button, which when clicked then goes to the 2nd frame and starts the game?
I have a xml gallery on one frame (each frame represents a webpage) and when i click on another frame the frames content appears but the xml gallery is still running on top of it, why how to stop the xml gallery running before going on another page. Is there like a stop function ?
the code in as3 i used for the gallery is as below:
var xml:XML = new XML(); var img_count:uint; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var img_holder:Sprite=new Sprite();
I've been able to connect with a DB, use a server side ASP script to check a user name and password in the SQL Server DB and get back a score number.
login_bttn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sendData,false,0,true); function sendData(event:MouseEvent):void{ var userName:String = username_txt.text;
I have 6 frames on the main timeline each with a different movieclip. Is it possible that when one movie clips finishes running it will go to he next frame on the maintime line and run the next movieclip on the next frame with AS3?
I have two functions, both are puting objects on stage and few seconds removing them, after decent of period of time mc steps to 3 frame where movie should stop, but those objects still appear on third frame, but I don't need them there. How to stop those functions?
I've got a bit of an odd issue. I have a class called UIObject that has a private property called _id. I have a getter/setter for it, and I extend UIObject by a class, lets say,MenuButton. Inside of MenuButton I have this function:

I have a function that draw rectangles from values in an array in a loop. I'd like to add a new function that just draw rectangels from the last value in the array. The problem is that the drawing keeps on playing. Where and how do I put a stop to it?
I have 2 swf's: Section.swf (to be loaded in main) Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this: [AS] onLoad = function(){ // start doing stuff }[/AS]
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run!
If I have the name of the function I want to run in a string called function_name and the params I want to pass to the function in another string called function_params, how would I could this to go in a button with the following code:
mc.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, button1_handler); function button1_handler(Event:MouseEvent):void { // Dont know what to put here
I am trying to index a series of movie clips with their own unique index number for accessing through AS3. The example below is what I would like to achieve, when a user clicks on Topic1, I can trace back the index of 1, when a user clicks on Topic2, I can trace back an index of 6:
1- i have class and i called its before and its running on runtime. i need to call function inside this class from another class, but without call the first one again, because if i called it, it will run default class function again is this doable ?
I want to be able to stop a function from running by the press of a button. Is there such an inbuilt function? Like "stop function(myFunction);" or something..?
