ActionScript 3.0 :: Starting Animation On Hitting Spacebar
Nov 14, 2010
I have this standing person (its a MC) and another MC that is the same person but in a jumping position. And the thing is that I want that jumping person to appear when the Space bar is hit, and the standing person to disappear. But when the space bar is released the jumping person disappears and the standing reapers. I know it has to be an if statement, but I'm not sure do I addChild, cause both of these MC are strings on the same timeline.

so I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

When it starts, I switch tab to nr.2 (default is tab 1). I need to be able to hold down spacebar and drag the mouse to pan, but when I do this it switches back to the first tab. So the spacebar is triggering it to switch. I've tried using a custom lass that extends tabNavigator, like the code below, but it's not working. Also tried setting focusEnabled = false without luck.

I'm having problems with actions script in Flash 8.I'm trying to make a little side scrolling fighting game, i've got a character and an enemy which follows him and has an attack animation when close, but I can't get the health bar to decrease when the hitting animation occurs while in contact with the hero.[code]I put this script on an invisible square which appears during the attack animation, HERO is my hero's instance name and HP the health bar's. Whats suppose to happen is that the enemy goes for the attack animation which is of hitting the hero whith an axe, and when the invisible box hits the hero at that moment, the hp should go down..

I have several MCs on the stage. Each have a basic animation. They have a button embedded so I can click on them. When I click on the first MC it starts animating. When I click on another MC I need the first animation to stop. Is there a stop command I can put in there that stops the other animation before starting its animation?

I have done an animation which includes a button that I want to use to start it. I've added action script to stop the animation on the last frame, I just have no idea what action script to put in to start it when the button is pressed. I have 14 layers + an action script layer. 7 of the layers are animated.

After doing some research, I found that there seem to be a lot of confusion regarding what I am trying to do.I thought this would be something that a lot of people would find it useful but very little information out there.I found a thread that did exactly what I'm trying to achieve, but I was hoping I could find some other solution in AS3 aside from using timeline animation and frame labels.[code]...

I have a demo/spec file I'm working with (download the .fla here): [URL] I'd like to have a movie clip (FLV) start playing AFTER the animation stops playing. I know once I bring the clip in, I'll have to give it an instance name and reference it in AS, but I'm not just not sure exactly how to start. I feel like the whole timeline thing traps me up...

I'm working on an assignment for a Flash Game Programming class (1 of 2) where I have to take a pre-made animation, add start and stop buttons to it, and use AS3 to make those buttons work. I got the buttons on the .fla, but I'm having a heck of a time stopping the animation using the stop button (I haven't even done the start button yet). This course is an independent study so I'm not being "taught" anything by the instructor. I have to find the answers myself. I've asked said instructor, my former AS instructor, and several computer lab monitors for help and we cannot get the animation to work correctly. There are compile errors that come up that really make no sense. This is my last resort in regards to this assignment!

I have a flash movie with some buttons created through action script. Currently the button links are going inside the flash menu, starting an animation. I need them to go to web folder, but I don't know how to do it.
This is the part for the button action :
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
_root.page = this._parent.item_no + 1;
_root.play();
};
It creates 8 buttons. I tried this:
fm.flashmo_button.onRelease = function(){
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
getURL ("[URL]", "_self");
};
When I do this, publish and click on any button, it opens both links. How can I assign for each button, a link? Here's the whole code for the button generation and linking :
stop();
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
flashmo_logo._visible = false;
flashmo_logo._y = 300;
menu_item_group.menu_item._visible = false;

I'm working on a services module (slideshow for lack of a better term) for an accounting firms website - site is still under construction at On the home page, far right hand column a grey box with a service icon and user controls progresses thru the five services until the user advances the slide manually.I need to randomize the starting point of the slide show using one of the five services. To complicate the matter further I need to weight them so some services show up more often than others. But randomizing with equal weight would at least be a start.

I'm trying to figure out how to start a flash animation at 7PM PST every Tuesday PST this animation would signify a 'live chat.' I can't figure how to make it PST specific, or how to do automate it every Tuesday, and I'm not sure if it's possible with just AS2.0 and no php involvement. I looked up the "get.Timeshift" function in the help.

I'm in need of a preloader, (or easy tutorial on how to create one), that will run a progress bar and also play a short welcome animation all the way through... regardless of connection speed. One that checks total frames of mc against total bytes loaded or something.

I'm trying to code the space bar key as a pause/play function in my flv player. I'm using Lee Brimlow's flv player tutorial as a model for my flv player so essentially it's driven via netstream coding. I've tried two different codes, code 1 being something I used a while back on another project and code 2 something I've been trying (hoping) would work better.
Code:
//1)
onEnterFrame = function(){ check_keys();}

I've been posting a few things about input and dynamic text in Flash on here I know, but this one has just got me stumped. Do input text fields not recognize the spacebar? I was typing in my input text field in my movie, and noticed I couldn't add space between words.Any way to work around this, or is my little brain just missing something again?

Im making a rock band 2 drum style game and i've come across a problem. Whenever theres 2+ notes together, all i have to do is hold down the button ( in this case space ) and it hits both of them without any penalty (which i havnt come across yet). But what i would liek it to do is that when u come across these notes you have to release space then press it again or else the note wont hit. Here is the code i am currently using.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(_root.hitspace.hitTest(this)&&(Key.isDown(key.SPACE))){ _root.score+=50; _root.streak+=1; unloadMovie(this)}if(_root.spacehitbad.hitTest(this)){ _root.score-=50; _root.streak=0; unloadMovie(this)}}
Where hitspace is the part where the note has to come in contact with when u hit the note. and spacehitbad is the back where if the note hits that it means you have missed the note.

I'm going to by chance include a message I sent out to a colleague in the off-chance someone also has a solution to it, but it also pertains to my issue. Skip to the bolded part below for just the question I have.I've been tasked with converting a Powerpoint presentation into a Flash presentation. I was considering manually doing it, but it seems like it would take an awful long time (240 slides, with videos and animations) - plus I don't know how to export the animations on individual slides over to Flash other than recreating them entirely.
I found a handful of programs on the Web that advertise that they will convert PPT to Flash (swf) and I tried a few to see which if any I should purchase. All of them had issues. Some either didn't run entirely or the end result was graphically ugly, videos weren't carried over (a problem I could easily rectify if the thing was an FLA where I could add videos back in that way), or animations were either mangled or ignored completely.how best tackle this challenge?Okay, so I basically started to just recreate the entire thing in Flash, using PrtScrn for backgrounds after deleting objects (then pasting in Photoshop and exporting as a PNG-24), as well as copying graphics into Photoshop as well to export as PNGs. No idea what to do about animations yet. Videos I can add back manually.
But anyways, as I do this, the movie is automatically advancing through every frame when I preview. I'm not sure how to go about setting up my Flash so that it only goes to the next frame when someone either presses the mouse button or the spacebar (either would be fine, I think).So that's my main focus at the moment. The other stuff is definitely part of the whole deal, but my main question is:ow do I set up Flash so that it only advances to the next frame when a mouse button or spacebar is pushed?

I want a symbol (instance name: "bullet") to appear at the same x and y where another symbol ("this" symbol, the symbol the code is attached to) is when the spacebar is pushed, but only if "bullet" is off-screen. I tried the following code, but "bullet" doesn't appear on top of the other symbol ("this") when I push the spacebar:
Code:
if (Key.isDown (Key.SPACE) ) { //space key is down
if(_root.bullet._y<0) { //checks to see if "bullet" is off the screen
bullet._x=this._y //sets "bullet"'s x to "this" x

I am putting together a Flash Form. I had it all finished and posted it on a testing site, then I realized there was a problem.I have form validation that works like this. If a user hits the submit button but has not entered information in all of the required fields, the user will get an error message telling them to input all required information. However, there is a workaround. It seems that Flash sees the value of the "spacebar" as a positive value and lets users get past my validation.I need to assign the "spacebar" a value, make it a variable, or something along those lines. Then tell it to be equal to "0", which is not an acceptable number to pass my form validation.

I need to have a swf playback be stopped at launch, but pressing spacebar starts playback. Pressing space bar again before the end is reached will pause playback until it is pressed a second time.When the end is reached, I need to pause on the last frame. Only pressing the spacebar again will cause the the animation to goto the first frame (essentially resetting the animation).I am using the following actionscript, but it takes three spacebar presses to get the animation to replay once the end is reached.[code]

I have been searching all morning and cannot find a solution to this. I have a 60MB SWF published from Camtasia and I would like to add the ability to pause/play the clip using spacebar. The file is too big to import into the library (Flash CS5) or at least I assume so because it keeps crashing when I try. So I thought I would create a new flash movie and have it just reference the clip externally. I have tried a couple methods each are resulting in different errors.
