Say I have a project with many layers, and varying timelines. I now need to do some as3 to add some stuff. So, I create my actions layer. In frame 150, I want some text to appear. Is it ok to insert a keyframe on the actions layer at frame 150, and add the as3 here?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesI have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.

I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

View 4 RepliesI've got a Flash page that has links as Movie Clips (Link1-8). The links are to different services, but right now they link to an external website. I'd like to make these link to different frames of another Movie Clip on the same page (Scrolling_Page).I'm not sure how to go about doing this, as all advice I've gotten hasn't worked thus far. It still just opens up a browser window and says it can't display "undefined".I've included the .fla in case no one can understand my gibberish.
View 3 Repliesi have my portfolio website which is a 1.5mb big flash presentation and i thought about making a preloader.the problem is that making a preloader for the entire site will take too long to load. i have tried that.
so i thought about making a preloader for each "page" or section of my presentation. for example- just for syneron, or just for m-systems (with each of them have a few diferent pages in the presentation, but their size is managable).
the problem is that i cant find anything is the preloader code that will let met control what frames to preload (for example, frames 100-200).
I have a flash application that is split into 12 frames at the top level.When I view the Actions pane, the Scene 1 list reads:ActionScript: Frame 1ActionScript: Frame 2etcIs it possible to rename the frames so the list becomes more readable? egActionScript: IntroductionActionScript: UnitsetcI've tried with frame labels and that doesn't seem to work.

View 1 RepliesI have been wondering how to do advanced ease in and out between three frames. What I have been trying to figure out, is when using the new tween function in cs4. So what I do is i make a simple animation of a ball going from point a to point b, and apply a ease in and ease out.
now with that in place the animation works great.now if i want to make the ball go to point c with and ease in and ease out. the ease in and ease out is now applied to the whole animation intead of being able to have 2 seperate ease in and ease out for animation from point a to point b, then animation from point b to point c.
is there anyway to make it so that i can multiple ease in and ease out for these frames?
I have all the graphics together,I have a .swf file that is to large it will not play at desired speed. The background images need to run 882 frames while the rest only needs 210 frames. I want all the layers to loop. I am trying to preload the 882 frames but don't know how to.

5 frames in 1 movie clip (PRINTMC)each frame named: page1, page2, page3....5 buttons on a frame each wanting to print its page.can't get my head around the print command code, so far I've got:

How can I get the number of frames in a specific MC?

I use AS3, declare a string variable:
Frame 1 to 2 - layer 1

There is a function to get the UserName from DB:

When I get the UserName, it is null.
I'm making a flash company profile in the style of a website, except it won't be uploaded online.and i made each button skip to a frame that i already named
some of the buttons are skipping to the wrong frames for some reason,the ones that are not working properly have some pretty big picture files on them,could this be the reason or is it just an action script mistake?
I have a movie clip divided into three scetions. The first section starts on frame 6, the next on frame 11 and the last on frame 16. Is there a way to get flash to choose randomly between only those frames (6,11,16)and not the frames in between(1-5,7-10,12-15)?
View 4 RepliesBasically this is it: I have a movieclip with four frames with this script on it:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
if (_currentframe != 1) {
gotoAndStop(2);
[code]....
Basically this is how i want it to work: If you're at frame 1 (which you start in since a layer above have a stop on it) and press and hold left you go to frame 2 and if you stop holding down left it goes back to frame 1. If you're on frame 1 or 2 and press and hold right you go to frame 4 but if you stop holding right it goes to frame 3
I know how to link a combo box to url's but i need to be able to link the data to different frames in my project.
View 7 Replies1. starts with 2 guns crossed centered
2. the shoot at the same time and start dragging towards the edges of the screen like this: <------ (center) ------>
3. fill the centerish area with smoke from the gunfire while the guns are moving away
4. as the smoke clears my name appears in the middle
5. then a few more frames of smoke coming out of the guns (i want this part to repeat, only this part though so theres just infinite smoke coming out)
now i'm still a bit fresh to flash. here's what i have down. i got my gun pics and the tilt up when fired and got them to drag away (motion tween). i also got my name to fade in from a frame in the middle to the end. i still don't know how to make the bang, or smoke (then make the smoke vanish), and then have the last few frames repeat.
I am working on a slideshow (sort of). The idea is that each frame in the root timeline works as a slide. Each slide inside each frame is a simple MC filled with images, texts, audio and animations and so on. Once this MC reaches its last frame, it should stop and trigger another MC used as a transition. And I've put inside this transition MC a code that should tell the root timeline to advance a single frame in order to show the next "slide".
So, on the timeline, I've put this code:
***
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(slide._currentframe == slide._totalframes){
[code]....
Well, needless to say it is not working. The whole swf just stops. And if I remove the stop() code of the Transitions MC at frame 2, the current slide will loop before the transition triggers the nextFrame command.
I'm wanting to advance the playhead 5 or 10 frames and then stop after each time you hit a button on the stage.
View 3 RepliesI accidentally clicked an area on the timeline that made all the frames to the right of the layers disappear. I've gone through all the menus including VIEW and WINDOW where I thought I would be able to make the frames appear and can't find it anywhere! I've docked and un-docked, moved around the timeline and still can't get the frames back. Adobe HELP couldn't help me. How do I get the frames to get back to the right of the layers?
View 16 RepliesI am looking for an easy way to count how many frames I currently have selected in the timeline. I know I can do the math using the numbers at the top of the timeline, but I want something quicker and easier.
View 8 RepliesI'm using CS4, and I'm attempting to align animations in flash. To make it easy, lets say I have two animations which start in a standing position, facing east. One of these animations (in a movie clip) is on fame 2 and the other is frame 11. The only way I can find to do it - without flicking between frame 2 and 11 constantly - is onion skin. The problem is that when i turn it on, it shows every frame - I can change the start to frame two, but the end will not go back past whichever frame I have selected - 11 in this case, and so it it too messy by far to see what I'm doing. Is there a way to allow me to see only frame 2 in that ghost style, while I edit frame 11? Even if its not onion skin, it doesn't matter.
Second to this - I cannot seem to work out how to edit multiple frames. By that, I mean that frame 11 through to 19 need to be aligned by the same amount, and yet even when I select all those frames, only one is affected.
