I've got a simple flash-based .exe that I'd like to load and play a move between a certain time of day. For example, the loaded movie should play everyday between noon-1pm and 2am-3am. The movie should then unload and go back to the original movie at the end of each time period. How and the world do I write the script for this?
View 2 RepliesI want all my libray object that are classes to load on frame 2 except for one which is the preloader class I want this to load on frame one.
I can go into my publish setting and set frame two for all the classes to load, but then my preloader class isn't available until frame two.
can I write a line of code that will make the preloader class available on frame one instead?
how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {
loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1);
}

Does someone have a working fla to illustrate how to load an external movie and zoom and pan to specific location of this movie (with easing)? With actionscript, not necessarily with a control for the user. I am looking for it for some time and unfortunately my programming abilities are not yet sufficient to find it out from scratch (but I am working on it).

View 3 Repliesi'm trying to do a simple thing: a site where the background fades in and out between areas... ...and i'm trying it for a week...and still have no idea on whow to do it. i've seen many and many tutorials but there's no information regarding to loading movies in a specific frame!(like "call"-calling a specific action script frame?) here's what i have: a main movie (1frame) with 5 layers: actions, menu, bgone, bgtwo and border. and my problem is making the interaction between those areas, since i can't make the menu load the movies in the specific frames,to the specific layers... perhaps i'm just trying to find the wrong answers, or is is impossible?

I'm working on this scroll from tweener [URL]. I've made a button that lets me reach the position I want on the scroll
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
};
Now I'd like to load a movie when I move to this or that position. Maybe with if?
Code:
this.bout.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoPosition(4);
if (_root.Position=4) {
loadMovieNum("test.swf", 1);
}};
but this doesn't work (it loads the movie alright but not because of the position).

I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
i'm using loadmovie() to load a youtube video player inside my flash website but i want to specify the width and height so it can fit my box.This is my code:

gotoAndPlay(1);
numberOfTimesToLoop++;

I have a banner with 4 MCs in it. Right now it starts automatically and loops endlessly. I would like the animation to play through 2 times, jump to frame 60 of the first MC and stop.

I want to load a movie loadMovie ("target", _root....) and so on. My question is can you target a specific scene in the load movie command?? I have a movie with a button that loads a new movie into level 0 so it replaces the first movie. Now in the new movie I have a button that unloads the new movie and loads the previous one. But it starts it off at the veru beginning of the movie. I want it to pick up where the first button click took place.
