ActionScript 3.0 :: Selecting A Random Frame In Another Scene?
Dec 28, 2011
I have an app I'm creating with Flash CS5.5 with 42 different short stories in it. It has 2 scenes. Scene 1 is the opening and contents menu to access the stories. Scene 2 contains the 42 stories.In scene one, I have a button that I want to be able to pick a random story so it would need to pick a random frame between 1 and 42 in scene 2. I have seen some code in here that will pick a random frame when you open the program, but I don't know how to tie it to a button or pick a random frame in another scene.
-How would I make it so when my clip gets to a certain frame, it will randomly gotoAndPlay a random frame on a different scene? -All of the frames that I want it to randomly go to are labeled.
I've been putting data into an array via XML, and then selecting at random an image string to load in a pic at random. But whilst doing this, I wanted to remove the String from the Array that I have just used, so I don't get repetition of the same image in the output. I initially thought that pop would remove the string I had just used - But of course it Removes the last value in the Array instead, which doesn't really help.
Ok - so how about randomizing the data once inside the Array, after it has been pulled in from XML!? That way I can load in the 'last' image, and then pop it out! Keeping a randomized selection of images each time 'it' is loaded
So what I have here is a button that will take away a random number from a variable (in this case being money) this is nothing more than a learning experience and I just wish to broaden my horizons on flash AS.
Actionscript Code: on (release) { money -= random(200); }on (release) {gotoAndPlay (2);} While this code works just fine the only problem i have with it is that it will select a number from (0-200). Is there a way I can set this up to select a random number BETWEEN 2 numbers? EX: (150-200)
i have a collection of movie clips (mc0, mc1, mc2...etc etc),and when motion is detected on a webcam, one of these clips is shown on the stage. however, for some reason only mc0, mc1 and mc2 are being displayed, and i cannot get mc3, mc4 or any more to be chosen.
Code:import flash.filters.*// Assumes a Video object named "myVideoObject" is on the Stageactive_cam = Camera.get();filterList = [ /* 0 */ "multiply", /* 1 */ "multiply", /* 2 */ "multiply", /* 3 */ "multiply", /* 4 */ "multiply" ];positionList = [ /* 0 */ {_x: 512, _y:
I know this should be easy, but I can't seem to make it work. All I want is for the variable currentPage to select randomly from an array so that every time the page loads, it displays a different currentPage. This is what I have so far:
var myImages:Array = new Array("outsource_mc","solutions_mc","staff_mc"); var randomImages:Array = []; var randomCount:Number = 1; var r:Number; for (var i = 0; i<randomCount; i++) {
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label null not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay() at intro_fla::MainTimeline/intro_fla::frame606()[intro_fla.MainTimeline: :frame606:3]
I'm trying break down a large Flash project into smaller swf's using a Loader :
stop(); var reqA:URLRequest = new URLRequest("New_Inro.swf");var loaderA:Loader = new Loader(); function imageLoadedA(event:Event):void { addChild(loaderA);} loaderA.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoadedA);loaderA.load(reqA);
Some of these swf files are animations which have code that states :
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("frameThree");
The first loader works but I cannot get that swf to move on to the next frame(frameThree) to load the next swf file
Instead I get this message
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label frameThree not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at New_Inro_fla::MainGuy_1/frame146()[New_Inro_fla.MainGuy_1::frame146:2 ]
I'm getting this error in the OUTPUT window, when I PREVIEW (COMMAND + RETURN) my SWF:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label nGallery_btn not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at BrookBrovazMusic004_fla::MainTimeline/pageSelect()
- The funny thing is that the SWF works the way I want it to. You can view it here: http://brookbrovaz.com
- I just don't like the idea that something's wrong, according to the OUTPUT window anyway.
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label instance121 not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/goLabel()
this is my code:
stop(); function goLabel(e:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
i am using a movie clip button to open a swf with a loader. hope i m not missing any information/other coding....
I've created a class which simulates an action for example a ball bouncing about a screen thus I'd create it like so:
Code: var Ball1:ball = new ball(x,y);
How would I go about adding this to a loop, in a sense of every frame add another ball till you reach the maximum balls currently after looking in help, google and forums this is all I could find
I have created a new Flash file using A3.It has a menu system which all works, I have included trace code that outputs button pressed.So the next step is when the right button is clicked it takes them to the next scene. Please note I have coded it in AS3. When I compile it returns no error however at run time when I click on the buttomit returns the following error:
Menu 1, button 1 ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label contact not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at menuformason_fla::MainTimeline/itemButtons()
I am making an online portfolio and I have created the following scenes:homeaboutontactright now, I have three movie clips on the home screen that I have created into buttons.
on (press) { go to Scene 2, frame 25 ????????????????????? }
What I would like to do is after someone clicks on the button, it should then jump to another scene's specific frame number. So for example when you press the "about" button, the playhead goes to the "about" scene to 25th frame. Same thing for each button
somehow I switched the setting for selecting some frame in the timeline. I was used to click once and have one frame selected. Now it selects the whole time of a keyframe when I click on it not just the frame I clicked on.
I have a movie clip button, however, once you click on it the output will say: ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label instance15 not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at index_fla::MainTimeline/goLabel() i am new in flash and trying to learn as3. i've looked at what error this is but i cant get my head around it. what i m trying to do it if you click on a button, a swf file will load on the the page. but it is not loading and the error comes up!
When I try and run my program (check .zip), I get the following error:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label math not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay() at MainGameforRAT1_fla::MainTimeline/TouchingGrass()[MainGameforRAT1_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:55] ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label math not found in scene Scene 1.
I'm looking for a script which "pauses" a scene/frame for a set amount of time, then afterwards moves onto the next scene.I could not find a tutorial specifically on this topic on here or flashkit.
I'm a pretty solid animator, yet know almost nothing about actionscript.I need to make a script that does this: after the first scene is over, it will go to either scene 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. (chosen at random)
Im a proficient animator, but im pretty new to actionscript.What code would i use to make my animation go to either scene 7, 8, 9, or 10? (picked at random)
I'm currently making a game to educate children. The game is a recycling game and when they collect more then 5 items a random fact will appear. So far these are the facts I have used...
var b = new Array() b.push ("Glass can be recycled virtually forever. It never wears out.") b.push ("Most bottles and jars that you use contain at least 25% recycled material.") b.push ("The energy saved by recycled just one bottle could light a 100-watt bulb for 4 hours.") b.push ("Paper made from recycled paper uses 70% less energy.") b.push ("98 tons of various resources are required to make one ton of paper.") b.push ("75% of each tree that is cut down for paper is not used in a paper product.") b.push ("We get through nearly 3 billion disposable nappies each year in the UK alone and around 90% of these end up on landfill sites. Disposable nappies take 500 years to decompose.") b.push ("Every tonne of paper recycled saves 17 trees.")
I have a project with several banners, each one in a separated scene (banner1, banner2, banner3....).I'd like to play a random banner (scene) when the SWF is loaded.I tried many codes that I've found around the web in the first frame of a bank scene, but nothing worked. I'm using Flash CS5.5 and AS3.
I am creating a quiz in Flash using Actionscript 3.0.I need the questions to appear randomly, each time the application is used. The questions are in a different order.Also the application cannot go back to the first scene as that is a start page.[code]
ok, so i have this movie. i have three scenes in it. and i wanna make it so the first scene randomly selects a number so it can jump to either scene 2 or 3. so everytime it loads the page it will go to either one of those randomly. i can easily do this buy loading external swfs and getting it to work, however jumping to a random scene in the movie doesn't seem to work right. here's my code, anyone know what i'm doing wrong? am i missing something simple?
Num = Math.random(); Num = Math.round(Num); if (Num == 0) {
