An external swf file (swfEx), which contains a button, is loaded into another swf file(swfLd). When clicking the button contained in swfEx, it should navigate to a certain frame of the main timeline of the swfLd movie and at the same time remove swfEx from swfLd.

I need to determine when the first swf has finished to load the second and so goes on but I couldnt find a way to even trace de current frame in the timeline of my external swf.How can i determine the current frame in the timeline of a external swf?even with a enter frame event to check the current frame has not workedIve even build up a class to give the parameters to the main SWF but has not worked.I need to compare the current frame with the total frame and when got the last frame, and the end of the animation, unload this first movie and load the second.
View 8 RepliesMy script have a list of .swf files and needs to play them one by one. My problem is that i can't detect when the movieclip (containing the swf) completes playing.
I understood that i need to copmare between _currentframe and _totalframes of the moviecip but i keep getting 1 as the _currentframe (my main timeline contains only 1 frame).
Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
var container:MovieClip =

I have a project which requires the loading and unloading of multiple "scenes". All my navigation is working (probably not the most efficient way) but I'm having one issue. I need a button on one of the loaded SWFs to call a function on the main timeline. Since Actionscript 3 no longer supports the _root functionality the way AS2 did, I cannot access the main timeline.
In general, how do I get to the root of the main timeline without using _root?
Also, how can I reference the loaded SWF and objects inside of it from the main timeline?
I have a button that is loaded into my main movie at level 2. in my main movie on the timeline I have a frame label called guestbook. I want my button, when released to go to trigger the frame label. on my button i have the script:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("guestbook");
}
Obvously this does not work because it references the wrong timeline so i tried:
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("guestbook");
}
thinking that somehow it would see the parent swf and work - haha - me and my dumb ideas of course it doesnt work.do you know how i can get it to work. Perhaps i should mention that the button that loads in at level 2 is inside a movie clip (for reasons of animation)
when a button is clicked, I want an external swf to load and play, then I want to go back to a particular frame in the original timeline.
View 2 RepliesHow do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
View 1 RepliesOkay my_btn will do this;
image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");
gotoAndPlay(frame#);
What i want to do, is, make it wait before it the timeline goes to the certain frame#, so the image_loader1 loads its image1. I'm making it wait, not because it takes time loading (which it would not, since image1 is already on the stage, loaded up in image_loader2) but the image still takes time to show on the image_loader1 (half a second).So, I want my_btn to be functioned like this that it performs its first action which is
'image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");' and then 'gotoAndPlay(frame#);'..
I'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.

I am building a small banner, which ideally will have a random string of text fade in (long enough to be read), then fade out...to play another random text.
Each of my texts have been built as movie clips... they fade in, stay up long enough to be read, then fade out. At the end of this, I need the movie to go back to frame 1 of the main timeline, as I am using the following script:
Code:
_root.onLoad = function() {
//generate a random number from 1 to 11
var nRandom = 1+Math.floor(Math.random()*12);
//tell timeline to goto and play the random number 'nRandom'
gotoAndPlay(nRandom);
};
Each of my text movie clips are on a different frame, so I need to call a new random _root frame to play from within the movie clips. So far, all that is happening is whichever movie is chosen to play, goes in a loop.
i have actionscripted a movie which plays a function on export. i.e home() in the first frame. in that function i attach a movieclip which contains a background image of about 200kb. How would i preload that once it is attached to the stage in the function?
View 0 Repliesdetect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.
my_btn1.onRelease = function() {
_root.one_mc.one_one_mc2.loadMovie(www.web1/abc2.swf);
_root.two_mc.two_mc2.loadMovie(www.web1/abc3.swf);

How do I add the onLoadInit function to go to frame 5 after loading all the swfs?
In Flash Actionscript 3, if a function is defined in Frame 1 of a flash animation and the animation loops, does it store another version of the function in memory upon each loop.
[Code]...
If so, is it a best practice to check to see if it's the first time the frame has been run, by setting a variable and checking it's existence, or is it a non-issue because the compiler checks to make sure that a function has not already been defined?

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf
View 3 RepliesI simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.

I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.
