I have an image sequence that plays forward and backward with left and right arrows are clicked. The previous frame button does loop past the first frame, but only moves 1 frame per click..how do I make it a continuous loop of prevFrame? [code]
View 7 RepliesI am trying to make a scrolling banner. I have succeeded so far in making it scroll from right to left and it loops. However my problem is this - I need for the looping to start when the graphic is at position X (x being a frame number).
View 3 RepliesI need to loop an array that also play the swf to the end beffor it goes to the next array. How whould i do that? if anyone could link me to a page where i can find out or tell me how i did it would be great.
i have this but this dosent work as i wannt:
ActionScript Code:
function onCompletePreloading():void
{
contentContainer.addChild(_swfClipsArr[0]);

insted of having the "addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setContent);" i need something that counts the current frame and the end frame of that swf is that possible?
Anyone have any clue how to make a Flash movie like this one? [URL] I could script a back button to go to a previous frame but how do I get that smooth looping effect?
View 1 RepliesI'm a flash newbie and have created a slideshow so that all the photos fade in and fade out. I've done it so they kind of fade into each other. So the timelines on each layer overlap. I want this slideshow running as a continuous loop so I've put a gotoandPlay(1) function at the end of the movie. My problem is the final image (number7) fades out but I don't know how to get it fading into the first photo again. So after the 7th image (the 2 bridesmaids) the movie completely fades out and then starts again. Is there a way I could make the first and last photos fade into each other rather than the last one fading out and starting again. The movie can be viewed here- sorry it takes a little time to get to the last image! [URL].
View 1 RepliesI have posted this question recently and I am desperate for a solution. I have a pre-loader which is causing a continuous loop.
On frame 1, I have:
totalK = getBytesTotal()/1000;
loadedK = getBytesLoaded()/1000;
remainingK = totalK-loadedK;

I am making a cloud background continuously loop using actionscript, however the image cuts itself off. I was following the tutorial at: [URL]. I attached a picture of what it looks like. Here's my code(very similar to above websites code)
Code:
animator = createEmptyMovieClip('animator',1);
bg_1 = animator.attachMovie('cloudsMC','bg_1',1);
bg_2 = animator.attachMovie('cloudsMC','bg_2',2);
bg_1._x = -bg_1._width/2;
bg_2._x = bg_2._width/2;
[Code] .....
This code is all in a movieclip named bg_mc. The width of cloudsMC is 1500 px. Why the image cuts off as it scrolls to the left?
i just want to have my music looping forever regardless of the timeline stopping and starting. is this possible?
View 1 RepliesI have a series of images that merged into one 2400 pixel wide jpg. I want this to loop continuously across the bottom of a website. I have tried using TweenLite and TweenGroup but cannot get that to behave correctly. Is there an Actionscript 3 way to do this? Ultimately this is being added to a Flex site.
View 1 Repliesi have succesfully managed to encode / create an .FLV file which now plays back in my .swf file. The picture and sound are great when streaming off the web!
how do i command the file to play back in a continous loop? at present it plays and then rewinds back to the begining.
i have investigated some of the .FLV parameters but can't seem to find the control / command i'm looking for.
im after achieving an effect similar to movie credits with text automatically scrolling upwards, im loading the text in via xml and have for example
item one
item two
item three

I recently found this thing, Caurina Tweener. And want to substitute Flash own manual Motion tween with this. But I having problem with this:
1. How do I loop / make Caurina Tweener continuous? (AS2)
If I take some code from the example reference
Code:
Tweener.addTween(mymc, {_x:691, time:1, transition:"linear"});
I want it to play continously from the beginning to for example x=691
I couldn't find this in the reference manual.
What I want is to use Caurina Tweener instead of flash own manual Motion tween (where I set a keyframe and a stop keyframe and set motion tween between these frames)
I'm getting the geolocation data of a viewer and creating a textfield to display this data (city,state). After the data is pulled the text is measured to fit in the textbox and if the length of the city is too long, the text is adjusted in size to fill the textfield. When I trace the end result of the final text size, I keep getting the (same) trace result outputted infinitely.
[Code]...
It worked, but I needed the text box to be made according to what data was pulled from the geolocation xml, so I added it in the geolocation script.
I just downloaded Blue Chi's advanced image gallery few days back and converted into grid gallery in AS2. However I am stuck with 2 things:
1) How to make the gallery endlessly scrollable in a efficient way. I used duplication method but the trick used is noticeable when it axis matches with stage mask
2) Also, I am not able to control mouseOver and mouseOut scrolling.

View 3 RepliesSo I've imported video into my flash using the "progressive download from a web server." When the video ends, I want it to automatically go back to the frame I played the video from. What code would I use to do that? I dont want to insert an "x" button, my boss wants it to be automatic. Do I insert a CuePoint? I don't know too much about flash so I'm not sure how to use onCuePoint or anything.
View 5 RepliesI'm making a game in which a character walks along a motion guide to the point on the guide nearest the users click. Easy enough.This motion guide is contained within a MovieClip named Sc1.Now, within the motion guide MovieClip the character is a combination of various MovieClips contained in a single MovieClip, which is placed at the beginning of the guide and tweened to the end of the line. This tween and the MovieClip's component's timelines are controlled based on the point of a users click. Furthermore to add a level of 'realism' the character turns to face front, back or sides, based on the gradient of the slope at which it is travelling, giving the illusion of walking towards or away from the screen.All this works fine. The character instance (SWJim) will walk from left to right, turn and stop at the correct point. The character itself behaves too, moving arms and legs as it should.
However, in order to get the character to walk back from right to left, i have used a boolean to flag the timeline as in 'reverse' mode and the prevFrame() function. This raises an interesting problem with the character in which it will move as planned, but won't turn to face the appropriate direction and the character MovieClip won't play (i.e. arms, legs etc. will remain in their default positions). In order to turn, the character has a series of 5 frames in which it faces different directions. A gotoAndStop(); is used to change the direction of the character.I did a bit of searching and it seems that prevFrame() may have been causing the animations to stop because it was in my onLoop() function, called by the ENTER_FRAME event listener. In order to combat this I used a timer instead to call the onLoop() function, but that produced pretty similar results.[code]
I read a tutorial about complex buttons with prevFrame function on this site. I was wondering how I could use this function to unload my movie. I have a movie (swf) that loads itself into another movie. Now what I would like form this movie to do is to kindly unload itself the way it loaded in. This should happen once a button on the main (root) timeline would be pressed. I already have all the buttons set up, but I have no idea how to write a code that would send my movie backwards. I is simply put a this.onEnterFrame = prevFrame; on the last frame, but now there is a problem. I have to somehow stop this movie until a button is pressed. And only when a button is pressed it should execute prevFrame.
View 1 RepliesI need to happen is when the UP arrow key is pressed, go to next frame. If the DOWN arrowkey is pressed, go back a frame. Here is the code:
< quote >
//stop();
//keyListener = new Object();
//keyListener.onKeyUp = function()
[Code]....
Unfortunately, it is giving me some problems. At first, it seems to work fine, it will go forward a frame if UP key is pressed. However, if I press the down key, then the up key again, it will skip a frame. For example:
I am on frame 1- I press UP key, flash goes to frame 2 On frame 2, I press DOWN key, flash goes to frame 1 On frame 1 again, if I press UP key, flash will jump to frame 3 It will continue to do this until I am left with just my first and last frame and can't go thorugh the other ones.
I'm trying to create a movie clip that can be controlled to move a shape left or right (as animated in the movie clip) via buttons on the main stage.
I was thinking I could just add prevFrame or nextFrame to the controlling buttons when the mouse rolls over them... like this:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.shape.prevFrame();
}
But now I need a method of repeating it non-stop while you are on the button. Can I loop the prevFrame infinatly or loop that line of code?
P.S I'm just getting to grips with actionscript and I'm hitting a few hurdles on the way, so please excuse my ignorance.
First off, I'm a total noob when it comes to actionscript. I'm attempting to create a flash movie file that basically has a number of thumbnails in a straight line. As the user puts their mouse over a button I'd like the movie to advance to the next frame and keep playing until the user's mouse leaves that button. I found an online tutorial to accomplish this in AS 2.0 but I would rather do it in 3.0 so it's current.I have the following code that sort of works; when I hover over the right_btn, it advances to the next frame, but only advances 1 frame instead of playing the movie forward. The left_btn should go to the previous frame and play the movie backwards.
right_btn.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[code].....
Ok I know how to do this in AS2, but I decided to make a sort of dress up game in AS3.
The only thing I don't get to work is: I have 5 frames in a movieclip, the movieclip is on the stage and so is the button, but I want the button to perform nextframe and prevframe of the frames that are in the mc.
I used this code but it does nothing (except for activating my button as a button)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
nexthair.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1)
[Code].....
I have a hard time to find out how I can possibly set my prevFrame(); function to go to previous frame and play instead of stop?My code in the actionscript section (the very 1st line) starts with:[code]
View 8 Repliesi have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:

I want to trigger via mouseDown a function that plays a 30 frame mc while the mouseX coordinate increases and the mouse Y decreases. Then when the mouseX coordinates decreases and mouseY increases ie. the mouse moves up on the stage - mc plays in reverse So basically the movieClip is scrolled by the mousemovement. When the mouse is not moving mc stops at currentFrame
View 3 RepliesI am having a fair amount of trouble trying to control prevFrame on the timeline, with a play/rewind type motion. Basically, what I want to do is navigate between 3 keyframes on the timeline with 'next' and 'prev' buttons controlling it. I have no problem navigating forward, but when the previous button is pressed on the last keyframe, it just rewinds to the first keyframe. I have stop(); commands on each keyframe, but it seems to skip over the second keyframe when rewinding. The buttons are present throughout the length of the timeline. Here are my actions for the first frame;

In AS2, I was able to create an rollover and rollout state that utilized the nextFrame() and prevFrame() commands. When hovering over the hit target, a specific movie clip would continuously advance to the next frame using an onEnterFrame command. Conversely, in a rollout state, the movieclip would play backwards until it reached the first frame.
I could specifically use some help with how to implement the onEnterFrame command so that the nextFrames and prevFrames constantly run.
[Code]...
The "prevframe();" command is set up to go one frame backwards... is their anyway to make it go two frames backward? or is their a code that will send you two frames backward? I feel like a noob asking this question...
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to achieve an effect in which a triangle movieclip (which expands and then dissolves) respawns itself continuously. I'm hoping to figure out how to tell flash to respawn a new instance of the 15-frame movieclip of the triangle, when the original clip hits frame 5. the next one would do the same, and so on and so forth.My research so far has led me to believe this has something to do with the 'addChild' function but i'm so far unsure of what to do with it
View 1 RepliesI have about 27 photos. They are all 250x188. I would like the work space to be 250x564 so that 3 photos display first and they keep scrolling from the bottom to the top continuously through all the photos and repeat. Could someone recommend the best way to do this in Flash CS4. I am totally new to this.
