but i get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX 2004 Actionscript.
I'm trying to get control of the time line using a conditional statement.
if (myVars.logged == "Logged") {
gotoAndStop(20);
}
I trace the myVars.logged variable and the trace tells me the value is Logged.
But the above statement won't go to frame 20.
I need to load an into and exit .swf files into my project. I have the code to load the swf but it is an animation (with sound) and it continues to loop. What I need it to do is play once then move (and stop) on the next frame of the main timeline. [code]...

View 6 RepliesI would think this would be pretty simple, but I don't really know anything about actionscript 3.0. Please put this into terms I can understand. Basically, I want to be able to input text in a text box and have the movie jump to another frame based on what is typed into the box after the "enter" key is pressed. For example, If you type "Frame 2" and press enter, It could go to frame 2 and stop.
Additionally, I want to beable to have it control movie clips within the frame. For example, if you type "MovieClip1 Frame 3" it could seemingly transform an individual element in the frame by making the movie clip go to and stop at it's third frame.Finally, in the case that something is typed that doesn't match up (that the movie "doesn't understand,") I would like a movie clip to switch from being invisible (frame 1 of the movie clip) to showing an error message (frame 2 of the movie clip).The idea is, I want to make a visual text-based adventure game. Like, you could type "go north" and it would go to frame 3 where there's the northern part of the village.
My issue is that for my website I want there to be movies in between the interactive parts of it where the interfaces slide in and out. However, I can't stop a movie from playing over and over instead of playing once and going to the next frame.With 2.0 I haven't been able to find any research that helps me, probably because I don't know the correct keywords to search for.Right now I have my main time line set up with a loading bar on frames 1 & 2, that then jumps to frame 3 where I have embedded a movie (Instance named: mc_start) of the interface sliding in. Preferably after that I need it to jump to frame 4 where the actual interface is.
I can get the movie to end by going into the embedded movie's time line and simply have stop() ; at the final frame, but I can't get it to go to frame 4 on the main time line. If I having something like gotoAndPlay(4) ; on the final frame of the embedded movie's time line, it simply goes to frame 4 of the embedded time line and not frame 4 of the main time line. If there was a command to make it jump back to the main time line instead of the embedded time line, that would work perfectly.Coding on Frame 3 of the main time line to jump to Frame 4 would work if I knew the correct language to detect when the movie has ended (Movie is 191 frames long), so that afterwards it would immediately jump to Frame 4, but I haven't been able to find any resources that will teach me how to do it. Right now having gotoAndPlay(4) ; on Frame 3 of the main time line obviously makes it immediately skip the movie on Frame 3 and jump to Frame 4.
I have a time line of 1441 frames my frameRate is 24 fps so it takes 1 minute exactly to complete the timeline animation I want to Display the Remaining time as file starts I need formula to place in ENTER_FRAME event which displays the time left

View 1 RepliesI have learned from a video tutorial (Flash CS5 in the Family 23: Banner Ad Part 1)to use the F5 key to set the length of a time line of a particular image.When using the F5 key on the MAC keyboard, it will only allow for the audio to be worked with.I've tried Apple+F5, Option+F5, Ctrl+F5 etc.What am I missing?
View 1 RepliesI'm using this action for specific keys to simply advance the time line -
on(keyPress "<Space>"){
play();
}
what if I want to use all the keys of the keyboard to control this action ? Is the group selector to use ? Like "all keyboard" "all keys"?
I have got AS3 code to do it -
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_KeyboardDownHandler);
function fl_KeyboardDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(currentFrame+1);
}
But wanted it for AS2 ?
I am trying to link a button via AS but I need to use a function that is on a different time line for it to work. I have no idea how I am going to do.

I am building a Flash continuous play application for a company to use in a booth presentation at a sales show. In effect, it will be a more engaging Powerpoint presentation. Each slide will be a be a frame that will call an external swf into movie clip with the animation of text or fade in images in the external swf. Each external swf will stay on for about 10 seconds. I am looking for an action script that will first stop the advancement at each frame for 10 seconds (ability to edit seconds needed) and then move to the next frame and stop for 10 seconds then the next and so on and so on and at the end, start back at frame 1.
View 1 RepliesI am making a small project and i want to know how to get flash to change from one time line to the next , i am thinking of using an if statement to check if an object had passed the top of the stage and if that condition is true then i want it to go to the next layer on a different frame to play another animation?
