how I access variables in a frame on the stage with code from a frame within a movieclip?(basically passing variables from a stage frame to a movieclip frame)
i have As code with functions on frame 1-6 i want on frame 7 to have a clear code that will remove all the functions from frame 6. I need only the AS code to be cleared on frame 6 no where else... so the functions that are there no longer work in the rest of the animation.
I am All Programmer when it comes to anything including flash. I got into making games not to long ago and some people use frames to navigate from the main menu to the game screen and so on (which I have no idea how to do). and some people encapsulate the game inside of a class and call it from the document class and add and remove it when please
I have a timeline with a bunch of frames. At the beginning of my timeline (frame 2) I have actionscript that makes movieclips that are transparent (alpha 0) visible, and also some rollover and link/button code using a tween class. On frame 3 I have other movies that are visible etc. Frame 3 has stop code, and a frame anchor named "page2". For instance for the moviedclip "page_1" I have this code:
Since my project uses class actionscript files my whole game project runs on one frame and nothing is on the maintimeline so there is only just one frame on the timeline. Just wondering how I could make it so that I could have the first frame with game instructions and a description which then goes into the game being second frame and when gameover goes to third frame using actionscript. or any tutorials or some peice of advice
Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?
What command do I enter for the movie to rewind to first frame on entering a certain frame / stopping in a frame?It's my first time using Flash, and I'm working on a double menu (second menu has a "close" button, where I want to get back to the first menu).
i have a movieclip on stage. it has 3 frames but is stopped with "stop():" so it only shows the first frame on mousedown i want it to play frame 2 for a duration of 1 frame then frame 3.
This is a snippet of some code I'm working on. Currently I have a mc that you press that plays another mc. That mc that reacts has 5 frames, each frame with stop(); on each frame. I do a normal play code because it lets me play through and cycle back to frame 1 after frame 5 (so if I click the mc it eventually cycles back to the first frame and starts the process over again). If I do a nextframe it stops at frame 5, so that's why I use play.
press_mc click on it and it tells mover2_mc to advance a frame and recycles back to frame one to redo the process.Can I tell press_mc to play and skip a frame or to have it play a list of frames that I tell? I can't do a _currentframe +2 because it'll halt at frame 5.
I'm testing flash and decided to make an asteroids clone. It works well but all the code is loaded in the first, and only, frame.Now I want to add a preloader but I cant find the way to move the code to the second frame. I don't want to create a swf and embed it. Also there are no assets created in flash, it has been coded exclusively in flashdevelop (I find it easier to use).
giving a function reference in the result attribute of the HTTPService class like this :
protected function httpserviceCheckUpdate_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void { var version:Number = event.result.text.version as Number;[code]....
If both of them are same then how can I provide the event parameter using the second approach (as written in the result attribute of the httpservice class)? Which one of them is the better way of doing things in FLEX.
Was testing out my movie and using the simulate download option. Bored while waiting I started to resize the movie. Then I got an error about over 256 levels of recursion. Intrigued I tried to simulate the error again. I realized that it would only happen when I resized the movie a bunch while it was doing simulate download. Sometimes I would also get an error "A with action canceled because object didn't exist".
Digging through the code I couldn't figure it out. On the first frame of my movie all I had was a setInterval that changes the loadbar display to show how much is loading. It also tells it to stop(). Once loaded it tells it to gotoAndPlay(5). Frame 5 is where all of my other code is at. This error was happening at Frame 1? Then I remembered I had used "with" in some code to realign stuff on resize. Like:
[Code]....
As soon as I commented out the stagelistener stuff the error stopped. The stage code is on frame 5. It should not start running until the movie has loaded as frame 1 stops the movie until it is loaded. It is running BEFORE the movie is loaded though because I get the "with action" error and the 256 levels of recursion error. If I put a trace in the listener function it doesn't trace back until it is at frame 5, but for some reason part of it still runs. Anyway, sorry for the long explain...just a strange, strange error. Now I don't know what to do about it. I want the stage listener, but I definitely don't want an endless loop or other errors occurring.
I have 2 frames in my movie, 2 buttons and a video. On the first frame there is code for button #1. On the second frame i have code for button #2 but I'd also like to appear on the first frame. The problem is that when I put the code for the second button on the first frame, the video won't play. so I can only have it on the second frame. I can't figure out why the code, which works when its on frame 2, then won't work on frame 1. When I put the code on frame 1 it breaks the functionality and the video won't play.
Inside a mc on the first frame I have put the following alpha AS fade in;
[Code]...
But this last bit of code gets totally ignored and it doesnt fade out. I know it works because I have tested it in the first frame. Does the last bit of code in the first frame set the alpha for the rest of the mc and override anything else?
I am new in AS, anyways here is what i want. i have a button in Frame 4 which perform some function on frame on a specific area of movie. now i am on Frame 1, i want to make a button which 1st goto frame 4 then execute that button's code
I have some code that was written to create a thumb galleryof sorts...an image scroller that, when the thumbnail was clicked,another data area was populated with the xml data. I have removedthe image scroller part, making the main data area itself scroll. Ineed it to display the xml data when the image loads, instead ofmaking me click on the image to load it, which is what is currentlyhappening.
For some reason my buttons don't work when I stop on frame 34. Everything else works, but when I stop on 34 the button/actions won't work anymore. I have no idea why. I checked everything that I can think of. The buttons are labeled correctly on the frame.
i am trying to create 2 buttons...a next frame and a previous frame...The next frame works fine...but i just cant figure out how to make my previous frameThe code is on the main timeline and its as followsQuote:
next_btn.onRelease = function() { nextFrame(); // will gotoAndStop on next frame in timeline
I have a button that I want to work on multiple frames. Currently, I have a scene that automatically starts to play when the playhead enters the first frame (no stop command). I have an event listener in the first frame that listens for a click. After the click the user is supposed to go to another scene.
The problem is that the button is not working. I am assuming that the code in the first frame only applies to the first frame and I need to add additional code that applies as the playhead is playing across the multiple frames.
i have created a movieClip in the authoring enviornment. i dynamically get it to play and then it pauses at frame 20. how do i dynamically tell when frame 20 has been reached and then execute the next code?
