ActionScript 3.0 :: Shouldn't Variables Reset Each Time The Frame Plays
Sep 16, 2010
In my flash program I have everything on one frame. In the actionscript on that frame, I made a variable called currentButton and set it to the first button, to keep track of which button is currently pressed. In the click function this variable is changed to whatever button was clicked.Now, I didn't think this would work, because seeing that the one frame is being played over and over, (there's no stop() command in there) I thought currentButton would keep being reset every frame. To my surprise, it worked just fine. Not that I'm complaining, but I'd like to know why it's doing that. Shouldn't all the code on the frame be done every time the frame is played, including the part that sets currentButton to button1?

I am very new to Flash AS3 and Flash Professional CS5. What I am try to do is show frames 4 to 10 (it just say CORRECT in bold) when a user selects the correct answer.On Frame 10 I have the code say "gotoAndPlay(2);", the problem is on Frame 2 I have action-script on that page and all my variables are re-declared and they all get reset as Frame 2 is loaded.How should I prevent the variables from being reset each time frame 2 is reloaded?

With out getting into a ton of background I am wondering if there is a command that will reset all the variables in a swf at once with out having to do them individually?
I've googled and searched my books and can't find anything. Another option I could see is having the current flash reload, that would set everything back to the start but I couldn't find how to do that either.
Anyone know?

I'm absolutely new to AS and wondering why this doesn't move the way I'd like it to...Logically, shouldn't the x increment display each time it happens, showing a constant animation? Instead, the x increments 50 at a time, so the rect is at 0, then it's a 50
Code:
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
var item:Sprite = new Sprite();

I hit enter,it only plays next frame and then goes back to the frame where it stopped. What I've tried was something like:
stop();
Key.addListener(Key.ENTER)
if (Key.isDown.ENTER){
play();
};
I want it to play all the way to the end,not just go back.

I have 5 different buttons for the navigation on my flash website.The first page is on frame one.When you click on any of the 5 buttons I want it to play frames 10 - 15 before moving to which ever frame the button 1-5 corresponds to. So:
Click on button 1 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 20
Click on button 2 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 30
Click on button 3 > plays frames 10 - 15 > Goes to frame 40 etc
How do I make this work?

The code show's the movieclip "nav" when "bg_inv" is clicked, and fades it out when 5 seconds have passed. What I want to achieve is this:When I click a button inside "nav" called "next_btn" the delay needs to be reset, so that "nav" doesn't fade out until five seconds have passed since I clicked the button.
Code:
nav._visible = false;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I am working in AS2 and I am wondering if someone knows how to make a video so it doesn't reset everytime the user logs in - it just remembers where they are and what they already clicked.I created a video that will be uploaded in a learning management system.Students can click on movie clips and make them disappear.What I would like to have happen is have the flash video remember which movie clips the student already clicked (and made disappear) so that the next time they log in the movie clips that should be invisable remain invisable (rather than starting over)Basically, it is like a little game, once saved you do not need to start at the beginning every time you go back to it.....it remembers where you left off.

Having a little issue here with TIMER, basically I am looking for the timeline to advance 1 frame after 3 seconds, OR on MouseEvent.CLICK advance to next frame (before the 3 seconds it up). Which would then reset the TIMER. So, on CLICK go to next frame, OR wait 3 seconds and go to next frame (while having the TIMER reset both times). So...
Wait 3, (timer resets) wait 3, (timer resets) CLICK, (timer resets) CLICK, (timer resets) CLICK, (timer resets) wait 3, (timer resets)wait 3, (timer resets)CLICK, (timer resets)CLICK... You get the idea.My issue is the timeline, over time the TIMER time doubles, it doesn't reset... I am sure this is pretty basic and I am over thinking.

i have a button with some code on it to play a movie clip when pressed. the movie clip should run until the last frame and then stop at the end where i have a stop action.what actually happens is the movie clip plays the first time the button is pressed but not the second time. the third time it plays again but not the fourth, the 5th time it plays etc. etc.i have noticed that if i change the stop action to a gotoAndStop(1) action the film plays everytime without problems. but what i need is it to play everytime and then stop at the end without going back to frame one until the button is clicked once more.

How can I play an embedded flv video automatically in a Flash website every time it loads a page?
For example: When I click on the "About" button, I'll go to the About page. On that page, there's an embedded flv that I want to play automatically every time I go to the "About" page.

I have made a scene with a flv in it. The problem is that when I first run my scene the flv plays slow, then when I have played thru it and starts at the beginning again it plays in the speed I want it to. I would really like it to play in normal speed first time as well.

I'm trying to run a function where after an amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then if the mouse moves another one plays. I have gotten my code to do this, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once. how do I do this?
here is my code,
standstill = 0;
lastmove = 0;
timeout = 3000; // 1000 ticks = 1 sec

I've got a movieclip that I'm using as a button that has two frames acting as an active and unactive state. Inside the movieclip is a dynamic text field.
ActionScript Code:
letterA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectButton);
letterA.letterText.text = "A";
letterA.buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
Whenever I click on the button, it goes to the next frame, but the dynamic text filed loses the value I set in actionscript and gets reset to its default value.
