I'm using external text files in a flash project. I have them linking out to external websites fine. My question is, can I use external text to jump to another spot in my flash timeline?[code]
View 0 Repliesi made a main(parent) page that loads an swf which has a button(a1) which on click i need it to move the timeline of the parent
i wrote this code to the external swf and tryed many commands such as Object(root).gotoAndStop(1);
a1.buttonMode = true;
a1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,a1a);
function a1a(event:MouseEvent):void {
}
Not sure if I'm in the right place, I apologize in advance if so. I'm somewhat proficient with html, but fairly new to flash, using cs4pro, as3. Here's my dilemma. Converting an existing html/css site to flash. Flash is main site now but a few html pages are still linked, a buy page and a form page, a few others. I can get the all the external html pages to link to a frame in the flash movie, and I can get the flash to link with all external urls.
My problem comes when I move to a frame outside the main timeline. The movie is lets say 393 frames. All symbols/content are on seperate layers, and so is the action. Once the full movie ends, I have several frames past that where I have basically created frames for additional "pages" and created anchors for those frames, new layes for content, new layers for anchor (labeled) and new layers for a stop(); on each frame, I extended the pertinant graphic frames out to 410 from the original movie.
Now when the movies runs the buttons appear at about frame 115, so in the action layer I coded a keyframe and then added frames of it out to frame 410 or so: I have attached the .fla Now I'm lost here. When you navigate the site, from home lets say to an external link (button) like members, the html member page opens, and if you click home button, back to flash frame, and all works, all buttons, on the home frame 393. But if you go to any of the external htmls, and then go back to any other frame like frame 401 the about page, and all the rest 402 403, etc, the page appears properly, but then none of the links function. the site URL is [URL]there is a flash intro too, swf in question is actually at[URL]
In my externally loaded text file, I want to place a link that will control a specific movie clip in my flash timeline.Is there a way to do this?

When that movie stops, I want the main playhead to jump to frame 2 of the main timeline.
What action do i put on the last frame of the loaded movie?
I have an mc with a person running. Inside that mc i have another animations for that person. I have a second mc (fire) that when he touch the person the person should go to and especific frame in his own mc. I do that and it works perfect. the problems is that i have a button inside the person mc that you you hit the letter V on the keyboard it should play the next frame (to make animation) but is not moving.
View 7 RepliesI would like for when my mc "touches" a door on my stage, for the animation to jump to another place in the timeline. I do not know how to do that though, but I assume it has something to do with collision detection?
View 2 RepliesOn the main time line I've got movie clip called Z and also n the main timeline I've got another movie clip called B. Inside B I've got a movie clip called C. My problem is - the actionscript written in C makes few objects in the main timeline function (changing colors, displaying notes, input text linked with dynamic text, etc...). I need to move all those objects in to ONE MC in the main timeline (changing colors, displaying notes, input text linked with dynamic text, etc...). But when I move it in to a single MC it wont function! simply the actionscripts won't work!! What should I do to make all those objects in to one mc and still make the actionscript written in C work? p.s. - I've used the _root. command in C.

I didnt put i a object name before the addeventlistener because I'm not sure what to put because if I put "this" the other buttons will bt controlled by this code and if i put "parent" only that button will work.
i trying reuse a function many times so i decide to put it inside the timeline and whenever the movieclip move it will call the function, but it dont work. -_-

I'm building up a site in flash CS4 using AS2.i have a movieclip that acts as a button where it displays severall other movie clips inside of it, for example mc1, mc2, mc3; I'm trying to set a value to a variable that tells me at the time the end user presses it which movieclip is playing.I've done this by adding: var cb = "sp"; on the first frame of each movieclips (mc1 stands for "sp"; mc2 stands for "te")
On the main movie clip, they are displayed sequentially, so on my perspective, when mc1 starts, the value of the variable cb should be set to sp. That way, when the user releases the mouse button, the timeline should move to the specified frame.Here's the code I have for the Mouse event:
bannermiddle.onRelease = function() {
if (cb == sp) {
bannermiddle.gotoAndStop(3);[code]........
I've had the trace to the code so I could see if the value is correctly set, but it keeps showing undefined...

I've tryed to placed the replayBtn on the stage on the main timeline and I've set it up to replayBtn.visible = false; And then I add replayBtn.visible = true; to last AS frame of clock_mc but it wont work Even when I put the button physically to the last frame of clock_mc it will not work either.
I have a movie clip on the root timeline with 2 frames contained within it. I need the script to move the timeline to a different frame within this movie when a mouse moves over it. I pretty certain v2.0 action script would go something like:

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I am attempting to have the main timeline move from a stopped position over a movie clip to frame 1, where my start menu is.The code I'm using does move the timeline but in doing so it somehow breaks the 4 buttons I have in frame 1.

stop()
function replayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

I've had this problem even in AS2 - what is going on? Why does text in a dynamic text box jump up a line when you click on that text box?
Is there no way to have selectable dynamic text without the text jumping around when clicked?

I'm loading external font swf's, when using the textFormat class, the fonts come through perfectly and I am able to style them as I need. However I would like in time to move over to an external stylesheet, mainly because I would like to use both methods depending on the type of projects im doing at the time.
When I try to use the stylesheet and call the font that is needed nothing comes through, I have done a trace on the fontClass and get undefined for the fontName, fontStyle and fontType. I am only using a simple example at the moment as below
[Code]...
I know the stylesheet is working because I can manipulate the colour and size when embed fonts is not on the textfield. But im unable to use the desired externally loaded font.
If i have a clip on the stage with an instance name, can it be moved its x,y position with an external .txt file?
View 2 RepliesI have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:

What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.

I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?
