ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A Mc To Control The Main Timeline With Multiple Scenes?

Jul 19, 2010

I have a main timeline that has 27 different scenes. I have a movie clip that is an "on call" navigation menu for the main timeline. I can call the menu once, and it will go to the first place I want it to go. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to go away to be able to call it again. I get the "must be child of caller" error. how to get rid of it each time I use it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Control Multiple External Swfs From Main Timeline?

Jun 26, 2011

I've been trying to combine the features of two tutorials I found, one that deals with controlling external swf's from the main timeline and the other that explains how to load and unload multiple external swf's. I'd like to be able to load and unload multiple external swf's, and control these swf's buttons from the main timeline

I asked this same question on the forum of the site where I found these tutorials, and receive only one reply saying that "it shouldn't be hard to do." but they did not elaborate any further. This left me think that I was missing something very obvious and I've spent too much time now trying to work what it is now. I understand pretty much how both pieces of code work, but just can't work out how to combine them.[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Sound Control Over Multiple Scenes?

Apr 29, 2002

I currently have a movie, about 12 scenes long. I have a sound control that loops the track I have the user select repeatedly. But because I wanted music to always play unless they manually turned down the volume in my controls I load the music each time the main scene is loaded... This ends all of the other sounds and just restarts the first track in my list.

Here's the code:

For the main frame, inside a movie clip placed on scene 1:

stop ();
stopAllSounds ();
setProperty ("playing1", _visible, "1");
setProperty ("playing2", _visible, "0");

[Code]....

All I want this to do is keep playing the track the user selected, and not have to reset everytime the main scene is loaded...

Is there a way to do this? I am just now hearing of (and experiencing) all the downfalls of using scenes to create an interactive website. I may have to start the whole thing over at the mid point if there isn't a way to convert it into one It will save a week's worth of work!

Audio Played From Timeline In Multiple Scenes?

Sep 14, 2009

I just started using CS4. I have one problem with audio played from timeline in multiple scenes. The first 2 sceense work fine but the 3rd one has problem. The audio would pick up the last brief second of the audio before the current one and then plays the current audio. The pick up includes the last second of the last audio of the previous scene or the clip from the current scene.

If I copy all the frames in the problem scene into a new file, audio plays perfectly.
 
Have anyone seen something like this and what is the cure?

Variables Within Movieclips That Control Main Timeline?

Aug 26, 2009

I built my website on the main timeline with a fade in animation...stop(on the page) and a fade out animation. At the end of this fade out animation i would like it to call upon a variable to know what page to go to next.I am trying to tell my main timeline to gotoAndPlay a frame based off of a variable within a movieclip(about_mc this movieclip contains another movieclip which acts like a button(factsheet_mc)) that i have set in my main timeline.I set the variable with:

var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline

then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:

this.onRelease = function(){ --------"this" meaning the movieclip factsheet_mc------------ [code]........

ActionScript 2.0 :: Control Mc By Main Timeline Position?

Oct 2, 2009

I have a mc with thumbnail images ('thumbs_mc'). Within 'thumbs_mc,' I have mc instances that change alpha on rollon and rollout. When clicked, these mc instances also control the main timeline. That's all good and working fine.Now, however, I want something over each thumbnail to indicate which of them is currently active. (I thought about using the same mc for both the mouseover and current marker, but it's problematic since rolling off the mc sets the alpha to 0, destroying the current marker.)

So I figured that I could use another mc (one instance is 'mark_red_btn') and just control its visibility, based upon the where the playhead is in the main timeline.This is what I have in the first frame of the mc that contains the thumbs the mouseovers and the current markers:

mark_red_btn._visible=false;
if (_root._currentframe == "red") {
mark_red_btn._visible = true;
};

Unfortunately, it is not working. The mc 'mark_red_btn' stays invisible even when the main timeline is on the frame labeled 'red.'

CS5 :: Float Window To Control Main Timeline In It?

Jul 29, 2011

I'm an ActionScript noob so I'll try as best I can to explain what I need to do. I have a project where I need to have a floating window that controls a main timeline. The idea is to have a floating window that can be seen only by the operator. This window would control the main timeline or content on a separate screen viewable to the audience. So I'll be using a dual monitor setup. The controller window would have about 40 buttons on it that would turn items on or off on the main timeline. This seems like a relatively simple thing to do but being the noob that I am I'm not sure how to go about it. I essentially need one flash file, the controller, to talk to the other one, the content.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested MC Control Main Timeline MC?

actionScript 2.0
flash mx4 pro

here is a description of the flash movie.I have a map of the world on the main timeline that is a movie. The map is compiled of buttons that navigate the main timeline to named frames. -Ex. If you click Africa from the world map you are taken to the �Africa� named frame on the main timeline. This works perfectly.At the Africa named frame on the main timeline I have replaced the world map with a large map of just Africa. This large Africa map is a movieclip instance that has script on it to be draggable. This works perfectly.

The Africa map contains little movieclips that blink. I would like the little blinking movieclips to control the alpha of a movieclip (when rolled over/off) that is on the main stage and timeline.

Control MovieClip Inside Button From Main Timeline

Aug 13, 2011

I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.

Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.
