ActionScript 3.0 :: Slideshow With Controls In MovieClip Timeline
Dec 22, 2011
I have a flash document with 5 keyframes, each of these has a 'Label', which I then reference in actionscript like so:
ActionScript Code:
buttonHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToHome);
function jumpToHome(evt:MouseEvent){
gotoAndPlay("Home");
}
That all works fine, and I'm happy with that. Now, at the third 'Label' I have some text on a blackboard with left and right arrows at the bottom, so i changed the blackboard to a movieclip, went into the timeline of the blackboard's movie clip and added this AS:
ActionScript Code:
br1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage2);
br2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage3);
br3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage4);
br4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage5);
bl1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage1);
[Code] .....
And my slideshow advances one page, but then all the controls lock up and I cant advance or return anymore? The main navigation through my primary time line still functions at all points.

I'm having trouble trying to manipulate music using buttons. I can't seem to make music1 autoplay and loop when the movie starts. I want to stop music1 and play music2 when I press a button:
music1 in main timeline button to change music is inside a movie clip so far here is the code I found on the internet but I'm not sure how I can change it to do what I need:

Does anyone have a link to a tutorial that will show me how to make an image gallery that has an automatic slideshow with manual controls, a multi-page thumbnail bank with manual controls, and a preloading system that would be good for about 160 images at about 1024x680? I don't really know any useful actionscript, and I've managed to find a hodge-podge of tutorials but I don't know how to tie in all the parts to make what I want.[url]...

figure out what is going wrong with this bit of code? I have a movie clip button called play_mc and when the user clicks on it I would like the timeline to stop and the play_mc state to change to frame two. Then when the user clicks on it again, I would like the timeline to start again and the play_mc to go to frame 1.
Actionscript Code:
play_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playCurrFrame);function playCurrFrame(e:MouseEvent):void {f (play_mc.currentFrame(1)) {

I'm trying to make a faux 3D rotation animation where if the user mouses to the right the object rotates right and if the user mouses to the left the object rotates left. Depending on how far they move the mouse the rotation should speed up or slow down.I spent a lot of time making an object in 3d studio max and importing the animation of rotation as JPEGs onto the timeline. I figured the most efficient way to go about this would be to make the mouse control the timeline instead of the object itself.

I'm looking to build a basic menu in XML where I can add and remove buttons from the xml file and control the buttons to gotoAndPlay a frame label in Flash. With my project I will be frequently adding/removing buttons and/or changing the button name so I'd like to do this externally with an XML file.

My question is how do I incorporate playback controls to a Embedded Video that plays with the timeline? I saw how easy it was to add playback components when you import video externally. I figured that I probably need to start by creating my play back components, but then I need code to tell the swf what to do?

I've created an Mp3 player with dynamic sound controls. Everything works fine when tested in the swf, but when I load the mp3.swf into a separate movieclip in another swf, the volume control does not work.
I've tried setting the lockroot to true and it still does not work.
Here's the code:
slider_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
myPoint = new Object();
myPoint.x = this._x;
myPoint.y = this._y;

Why does a child movieclip only show the first frame within the IDE, regardless of where you are in the parent timeline?If you throw a movieclip with 25 frames onto the main timeline, which also has 25 frame, you don't see the nested movieclip's frame-progress while you scroll through the main timeline.Is there a setting somewhere in preferences or somewhere that will enable you to see a nested movieclip's frame position from the main timeline? Like you do with After Effects composites?

How do you tell the root timeline to root.gotoAndStop(2); from the timeline of a movieClip added using addChild?In the maintime line I have
addChild(fade_eng);
and in fade_eng I have the following on frame 20
root.gotoAndStop(2);
this.gotoAndStop(1);
But I am getting 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.

I'm trying to build a simple slideshow with AS3 consisting of one movie clip which should be controlled backwards and forwards using simple buttons. I can get the slideshow to play forward once but, apart from getting slide 2 to go back to slide 1, I can't get it to work with the remaining slides.

I have a button that I would like to play a slideshow movie clip. The movieclip instance is "samples". And there are "stops" in each of five frames.
I only want the next frame to play when the "nextSlide" button is pushed. And at the end of the slideshow, loop back to the first of those five frames.

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I have a main timeline with a button. I need the action for this button to gotoAndStop to a frame within a movieclip, within another movieclip. I have tried on the main timeline setting the actions of the button to:
on (release){
clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}
and tried:
on (release){
_root.clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}
lastly:
on (release){
_parent.clip1.clip2.gotoAndStop("frame1");
}
If I double-click on the movie clip (clip1) and then double-click on the movie clip (clip2), I have several frames labeled "frame1", "frame2", etc.The button doesn't work.

Working on an RPG type flash, and I have to be able to control a text-box from quite a few locations. The one that is causing me trouble is the inventory. I need to be able to access the textbox with an instance of "statusWindow" from within the inventory clip (instance name "inventory"), so when I mouse over an item within the movieclip it will change the status window on the stage.In this instance I want to mouse over inventory.invHealth from the main timeline to get the display.itemName and itemProps are strings containing information about the item.I tried the following but it gave me a "possibly undefined" error.
invHealth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, itemStats);
function itemStats(e:Event):void
{
root.statusWindow.text = itemName+"
"+itemProps;
}
