After my MovieClip has finished playing once (and ended on the last frame with stop()), I can't get it to play again with gotoAndPlay(x). It will go the specified frame, but will not play from then on. Is there anything else I have to add to actually make it play?my attached sample file which contains a menu that, for testing purposes, is supposed to play someMovieClips when the initial loading process is done.
View 6 RepliesI've got an MC calle "films" and inside of it I'm animation a bar of images across the screen from frame 1 - frame 180. At frame 180 and need it go back to frame 90 and play.I named fram 90 "repeat" and added the following code to frame 180:
stop();
this.gotoAndPlay("repeat");
But it doesn't goto 90 and play it goes back to 1 and plays.
For some reason i'm having problems swapping scenes in my flash movie. At first i put the action in a "actions" named layer and a link to a button. So basicly when scene1 loads the frame 1 action is "stop ();". The viewer clicks on button1 which has a code of;
[Code]...
At the first frame I created this simple drag&drop code (copy&paste it from somewhere on the net), all it does is drag&drop 3 movieclips:
ActionScript Code:
var dragArray:Array = [square, circle, triangle];
for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) {
dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
This causes the drag thingy to leave a trail on the original movieclip's position. I mean - I can drag the movieclip but it is being repainted again in its original position.
The problem doesn't occur if I remove the "addchild" inside the onMouseDown (but then - I need it in order to bring to front the movieclip).
gotoAndPlay() is the only actionscript I have in my flash and all I want it to do is go to a frame. If I tell it to go to a frame past a certain one it will not. It always (unless I pick a frame previous to the messed up one) goes to that frame. I have only one scene.
View 10 RepliesI have made a simple animation using only the timeline. The animation is covered by a button "Knapp" (alpha 0) wich activates the actions. The whole thing works fine the first time. The last action says go to and play frame 2, wich has two actions: stop + go to and play frame 4. But this action does not work the second time. I tried to set the action to frame 3 instead of 2 and the same problem occured on another action on the timeline as well.
Here is the last action on my timeline:
Knapp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_11);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_11(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(2);}

My movie clip doesn't respond to gotoAndPlay(1) command at all. Here is the situation: The Main.fla has a movie clip instance "Mov1" and the following AS3 code in the first timeframe:
function LoadSWF(Mov:Object, swf:String ):void {
fl_Loader = new Loader();
fl_Loader.load(new URLRequest(swf));[code]......
Once it's loaded it plays once (there is a stop(); at the end).So far so good but... the following code in the button script doesn't trigger any action at all:
Mov1.gotoAndPlay(1);
Any other code in that button works fine, so the button itself works ok.
When a variable reaches 0 gotoAndPlay frame 4
ActionScript Code:
//Variable Name: ammo
if(_root.ammo = 0;
_root.gotoAndPlay(4);
Doesn't work maybe?
XML text to be used as a link within my flash site.What I mean by this is I have a XML file with a list of shows and at the end of each title and short description and I would like to have a link to the show's dedicated page.I know how to do a URL link but a gotoAndPlay / Stop link doesn't seem to work the same way.. Here is an example of what I mean:
Show Name 1:

We have 5 buttons that each go to another frame e.g Product, Contact etc. but we want to play the same series of frames (an outro) and then goto the frame that corresponds to the button. Weve tried lots of different examples from the already posted questions and nothing will work. The latest I tried:

I have buttons that i've created to play a movie clip.My movie has labels for different parts of the movie.
on_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, turnOnTv);
function turnOnTv(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay (20);}
Do I have to put the name of the movie clip that should play?
when my character hits a certain object, I want it to play the movie. BUT since the hitTest is techincally always true if my character is just sitting on the object the entire time, it continuosly player frame #2. What is the simple fix for this? The code that will just play movie clip ONE TIME, and not restart continuosuly?
View 1 RepliesI have a series of sections in the timeline and I'd like to use gotoandplay. How do I begin playback of another section of the timeline. Is there a way to detect the end of gotoandplay?
For example: 3 objects and 6 frames.
Each object has a animate in frame and an opposite animate out frame. At each frame the user can pick any of the three objects but if an object is already animated in then is must first play it's 2nd animate out frame. I need to detect the end of an animate out sequence to begin the first frame of the selected object.
I am working in AS2, and am looking for a code that allows me to stop the frame (which is easy: stop() and then make that frame "play" if you will for 30 seconds, and then gotoAndPlay("nextframe"). Is this even possible? I know there's a getTimer(); code, but I have no idea how it works. (I have animations going on in the different frames through movie clips, not on the timeline. Basically trying to make a "movie" with flash)

View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a FLA to work correctly. I have 4 movies that I want to play with a navigation swapping the movies to the front as clicked. When I use the navigation, the first few movies work great, but as I click through they start to get a little jumbled, and it breaks. I am using this script for the buttons to call on the movies:

is there anyway to have a button play frames 5-10 on a movie clip inside the current frame, as well as skipping to...lets say...frame 10 of the scene?
i want to create a site where buttons go to different pages, but those pages have animations in and out.so if someone is in one page, and clicks a button to go to another, that page plays the "out" animation while the other page plays the "in" animation.
How can I mention in the actionscript 3 that the movie clip on frame no. 10 should play after the webpage loads (or after 1 minute)? then stops? The code would be on Frame no. 1.
View 3 RepliesI just updated to CS5 - I'm working on a custom video player. It works fine embedded in a web page both locally and on the network. It works fine in the debug player. However, when I test it in the authoring player I get a NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error and no video. I have tried setting the Local Playback Security publish settings to both local and network - doesn't find the video either way.
It used to run fine in CS4 in the authoring environment.
In this bit of code is there anyway to adjust the gotoAndPlay Command to play from frame 114 to frame 200. Are there any commands that will do this. I want it to play from frame 114 to frame 200 when a button is pressed.

View 5 Repliesim having problems with my swf file,its not playing on the web,my video is a flv i save it a swf when i export it and it wont play. it plays pefect on my desktop though.
View 8 RepliesThe main problem is that the FLV doesn't load/play, which most likely causes the secondary problems, such as the bufferClip always visible and no way to test the video and audio scrubbers.[Code]...
View 2 RepliesIf I double click on the published SWF file (thus opening it with the FlashPlayer 10 executable), the video plays correctly. Nonetheless, if I double click on the published HTML file, there isn't any video played at all. This doesn't happen if I put the files on a webserver, the video plays correctly on the browser.I checked the "source" property of the component, which doesn't have any absolut path (the video file resides on the same folder as the FLA/SWF folder, so the "source" property only has the FLV filename).
View 3 RepliesI've been playin around with loading MP3's externally ... and I finially managed to get a preloader working ... however, now at the end of the preload function it doesn't play the file!?If the mp3 is in the browser cache ... it will play the file!? How weird.wanna see? The Site Click the top right button for the player to slide out.
My code:
Code:
mySounda = new Sound();
preloadNow = 1;
mySounda.loadSound("Track2.mp3",false);
[code]....
I discovered that my preloader wasn't working before becoz I had two "onEnterFrame" events on the same frame. Obviously a no-no.
If I open the swf on my computer, it plays with no problem at all. When I upload and try to open the file in my browser, I click the initial image that takes you to frame 2 to play the video, and it just sits there blank and does nothing. Could anyone take a look at it for me? [URL]
