first time in interactive media class and flash.following the book but having a problem. just trying to get it to -stop at frame x and replay/loop from frame y rather than keyframe the same action over and over.(e-card project)
View 2 Repliesi've got a simple demo for a spot the difference game,you click, find the differences, if you find all 5, the find count goes down to 0 and you get a win screen.. that's fine if you don't find them all within 30 seconds, it goes to a loose screen, that's also fine the problem comes when you click to replay and then seemingly for no good reason, the timer skips more than 1 number a second.. this is the code i'm using on the timer
Code:
count = 30;
countdown = function(){
count--;

Lets say I have 50 frames and I want to replay a period of frames from frame 40 to 50, what action script should we write at frame 50?
View 1 RepliesWhat is the code to replay a movie using replay button on stage? Using actionscript 3.

I'd like my movie to randomly stop on a frame every minute.
Let's say: after one minute, randomly jumps to another frame
I've created a repaly button to replay an imported swf file (instance name=dpCuspSub_mc) located in frame 1 of a movie clip. It works, but then it starts looping and I want it to replay only once.
replay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,replay); function replay(evt:MouseEvent):void {dpCuspSub_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);}
I'm a graphic artist who has just started learning Flash, so please simplify as much as possible.
I recently just made a flash banner where you can click buttons to change frames. I also want to add the ability for it to automatically change frames after 7 seconds. I've put all of the pictures on the same frame and gave them frame labels. What would be the actionscript code I should use to make this work, along with making the buttons still functional? Also, how can I put buttons to go to the last frame from the first, and first to the last, while still making them stop at every frame? I keep trying and nothing's working.

I am having a big of trouble with this code to change frames on my timeline. I thought my code below would work fine but its not. For some reason it will go to frames 1-4 (4 is the last frame) then it will go back to 1 again just fine as its supposed to... but then will jump to 3 then back to 1... all random instead of staying in sync. I have attached both my as2 version and my as3 version. My as 2 is working perfectly. I can define the amount of time a frame will pause for on each frame.
here is my as 3 code;
stop();
var frameTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);frameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
[code]......
So I have a series of kiosks I'm converting to AS3. On one frame is an animated clip (serving as screensaver), and on the second frame is an interactive clip. Clicking the screensaver forwards to the interactivity.In AS2, I used to set a timeout for not clicking on the screen to go back to the animation frame like this (with this code on actions layer in second frame):
ActionScript Code:
var timeoutID:Number;
function timedOut () {

View 4 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;
[code]....
What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
View 1 RepliesI have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
View 1 RepliesIn my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.

View 1 RepliesI have a .swf banner embeded on my xhtml and I need it to replay after 20 seconds so if the user is still watching that page he will see the animation again. It needs to be a loop or something so the animation will play again 20 seconds after finished over and over again.
View 3 RepliesI want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 RepliesI've created a simple animation (falling snowflakes with some text that pops in and out) and I wanted to create a button that would replay it at the user's command. I've searched everywhere for the code or how to do this, but I've found nothing of relevance.
View 7 RepliesI have created a linear flash file to show the steps of a user flow.
This uses a single 'next' button which navigates through the flow and at the final screen navigates back to the first screen to allow the user to view the file again.
However it sticks at screen1 and will not progress.
I have addressed the following points suggested by someone else,
1. make sure your button listener code is on the first keyframe that contains your button.
2. your button should be on its own layer
3. that layer should extend to length of your timeline
4. there should be no keyframe in your button's layer OTHER than the first keyframe. ie, there's only one keyframe containing your button and your button exists throughout your timeline.
I have inserted my replay button into my flash movie and it works.
The problem is when I replay my movie some aspects of my animation do not work in the replay.
I believe this is because I have other timelines for movement e.g birds wings.
How do i implement code so that the entire movie will replay?
i have let's say 7 frames inside MC and every frame has another MC looping in stop button i have this AS, what it does is to w8 for every MC to finish the 221 frames and then move to next frame. (if i press the next_btn)otherwise it will loop in the same frame but if it goes to last frame (in this example frame 7) the fuction is disabled, i would like to loop again from frame 1. if it would be random is even better) if manually at frame7 add the "gotoframe (1)" it does the trick but without the fuction,it stays there with the next_btn disabled and i cannot press it i want to start the code again i tried to modify it but i'm a little confused take a look at the code...
var count:Number = 0;
next_btn.onPress = function() {
count<6?count++:this.enabled=false;

basically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesI have a gallery of sorts and some images have a button that loads an external swf in a 3d tilting window. The problem that Im experiencing is that one of the external swfs does not replay upon pressing the button again--It loads but does not play--it was written in as2 and has some _global variables set. I was thinking that if I unloaded the the loader content and removed the loader from the display list that when it reloaded it would play again but it doesnt--This is the code Im using to unload and remove the child:
Code:
imgLoader.unload();
//imgLoader is the Loader

I have a .FLV video that I have loaded via FLV playback container (AS3). At the end of the video. I then have a replay button, that when clicked would like to either fade or dissapear and play the video again.
View 2 RepliesI've been reading a lot of threads lately because I'm working on a school project. But can't really find a solution to my current "problem"I'll try to explain this as clear as possible, as it is kinda complicated and English isn't my main language.I'm making a game for a school assignment, and I have 2 MovieClips. 1 = walkCycle and 2 = jumpCycle.I gave both of these MovieClips classes so I could use the addChild function.Everything works fine, the walk animation works, the jump animation works, but here comes my problem.I have an ENTER_FRAME check on the jumpCycle to discover whether it's finished playing or not because if it is (thats what the check is for) the jumpCycle needs to be removed again and the walkCycle added again.
And the problem is, the jumpCycle only works once...After this if I press the shift key again (the jump key), the walkCycle just disappears the amount of time the jumpCycle should play and then the walkCycle comes back again, but there's no jumpCycle animation.y guess is, because I checked if it's finished or not, it needs to be reloaded to be able to use it again or something?
I am new to using flash and am working on small flash movie for a class assignment. I had to add a replay button at the end of my movie which I did according to my text and other tutorials I have read unfortunately my replay button is not working. Just realized I cannot upload my file as it is too large, can email them my file.
View 3 RepliesI've got a .flv file uploaded on my server that plays just fine I created the video in Apple Motion, exported out a .MOV reformatted it using Adobe Media Encoder. Imported into Flash using the import video menu command. I ended up with a .swf and a .flv. I upload both to my server, built a webpage and use the swf to play the .flv.Anyway. Everything plays. I need a button that a viewer can push and replay the video once it stops.I can create shapes in flash and can turn them into buttons. Easy enough. Seems like I need to create a script to go with that frame in the timeline?I keep reading about creating a listener and an event? But it's confusing finding answer because the is no clarification whether people are using AS2 or AS3 and I feel like I'm just chasing my tail.
