I've got a button that, when clicked, needs to play a frame. Normally I'd just use the gotoAndPlay feature, but the frame I want to play is on a higher level than the button. That is to say that the button is inside of a few movie clips but the frame I want to point to is just in the main scene, not inside of movie clips

View 2 RepliesI'm designing a site at the moment & I've run into a minor snag. I am loading about five external swf's, for each page of the site, from the main 'home' page. you can view it here Trouble with levels. I can load the movies fine, but what I want is to load each new movie into a higher level than the last, as each movie appears with a mask (for an example have a look at the site I've done then click on the 'Contact Us' button - that is what I want to do on all of the pages...) all of the swf's are loaded into level one with the exception of the 'Contact Us' page. (By the way, there is no 'News' page yet)
The very simple code I used to load the movies is:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 2);
}
I'm sort of re-discovering Flash. As such, I'm a bit rusty with all the ActionScript and general techniques. I have a site that loads swfs on higher levels with loadMovieNum (i.e., a pop-up photo gallery). The only problem lies in lower level buttons still remaining active; apart from the aesthetic issue, I don't want the user to be able to "accidentally" click something on level0. Is there a general method for keeping the "focus" on the highest level, or making any interactive elements below inactive?
View 4 Repliesi am puttin together a calendar in flash, as it is ending up on a windows server in ASP, so the lovely PHP calendars wont work. I have been using the code from:[url]to get the months and days working, and have todays date highlighted. Now i need to work out a way that i can set this up to call a flash movie onto a higher level which contains the events of the day you click on. Such as: Because the dates are determined and inserted via AS, im not sure how to set this up, or if it is even possible...

I'm trying to write an if then statement that will loop back to frame 1 once the next frame it hits is higher than 5. For some reason it doesn't work and I could easily go to frame six and add a go to and play but, I'd like to learn what's wrong instead of doing it the easy way.

I had been developing one Flex application , in that users are allowed to upload there own swfs . The problem is, my application has a frame Rate of 11 , if the user tries to upload the swf with higher frame and audio with it( ie Framerate of 24 with AudioFLV ). this makes my application to run at the higher frame rate of that same user uploaded swf.
View 1 RepliesIn 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.

I'm having trouble with something that should be incredibly basic, yet i have no idea how to solve my problem.

it shows x as being 3 when you hit the button but it reverts back right away, so it looks like gotoAndPlay(2) is still playing frame

I am making a website with a flash menu. I want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame (frame A) when the cursor is on a button. When you roll the cursor off of the button I want it to gotoAndPlay a different frame (frame B). That part was easy enough. But here is the problem. If you click on the button I want it to continue playing frame A even when you roll off.
View 3 RepliesI am really confused about this issue ...
In the first Frame i wrote the following code:
stop();
var currentInterInfo:IntersectionInfo = null;
var currentInter:Intersection;
gotoAndPlay("Frame3");
[Code]....
When I run it, i get "Frame 2" in the output although i should get "Frame 3" as a result ... and When I debug, i get "Frame 3" ...
wondering if this is possible. I have a button and want it to play from let's say frame 10 to frame 15I'm starting with this:
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
this.gotoAndPlay(10);

I currently have 3 major sections in my Flash file, and need to be able to play the frames backwards, within each segment, if the user so chooses to click the back button.Let's say it's on Frame 250 (or any other spot on the respective timeline for each section) and the user clicks the back button, I want to be able to "gotoAnyPlay" Frame 225 to Frame 220.So, jump from current Frame 250, start playing on Frame 225, play to 220, and then stop.

View 1 Replieshen you click on a button within my swf it loads an external swf into an MC that sits on top of the 1st swf, which continues to play underneath.Within swf2 I have lots of pages that you can navigate to, which works fine on its own, but not when I try to play it through swf1.When I click on any of the navigation buttons they don't work.I've tried making an MC within swf2, putting all the pages in there and on the navigation buttons doing:
on(release){
_root.swf2MC.gotoAndPlay("frame");

I've got a simple button that when clicked needs to go to a particular frame and stop when it hits the stop(); however when I test it I get a type error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PostCard_fla::MainTimeline/frame25()
I need to be able to tell it what frames to go to manually so the user can jump around the time line using short animated transitions between pages (set up like a web page) in AC2.0 this was easy, but its different in AC3 and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is my code:
stop();
btn_flip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(28);
};
I am using Flash CS3 with AS2 to write code that will fade images in and out, looping from the last frame back to frame 20. Loading the images with XML is working, as is the fading in and out. Unfortunately, when it reaches frame 390 it loops back to frame 1 instead of frame 20.In frame 390 I tried using gotoAndPlay(20) to code the loop. Then I tried using _root.gotoAndPlay(20); but this did not work either. I am not sure why it is playing frame 1 instead of 20.
View 3 RepliesQuick way to write the following code please (i know it's simple - i just don't know how)
if (images.currentFrame == 24 || images.currentFrame == 25 || images.currentFrame == 26|| images.currentFrame == 27|| images.currentFrame == 28|| images.currentFrame == 29)

basically; if the MC frame number is between 24 and 29 (greater than 24 but less than 29) i want it to gotoandplay from a different frame.
I have a flash file that the action scripts doesn�t appear to work. It is regarding a form turned into a movie clip. I copied the action script and format from a tutorial from this web site (Kirupa Flash_php_email.fla). It�s a fairly easy tutorial, but I can�t get it to work. Essentially, after the user fills out the name, email, and message fields, he clicks on the send button. I�m trying to copy the same concept into my fla file. The send button loads the variables and sends an email out to the user. I�ve been able to get that portion to work with the email.php file. It will return an email to the user, but the movie just seems to pause and not advance to the next frame. The data the user inputs remains on the screen. I�m not sure if a stop command is preventing it from moving to the next frame or not. What I can�t get the done is to go to the next frame where the user is told �Thank You� and clicks on the Continue button.
I have an action script layer and on frame 118 it has the stop(); command I have a layer called �txt�. On frame 118, all the input text fields named, name, email, and message have been grouped together then converted to a movie clip called form. On that same layer, on frame 119 I have labled those group of frames �ThankYou�, which also displays the Thank You and a Continue button.
Here is the actionscript on frame 118 for the movie clip �form�
[original script from tutorial]
onClipEvent(data){
//show the welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
}

I am trying to go to a certain frame within level 0. When you are in level 4, for example, and you click the button that takes you back to level 0, I would like to bypass the preloader and initial animation in level 0 and start at frame 3. I would like to think that it's as easy as:
loadmovieNum("main.swf", 0);
_level0.gotoAndPlay(3);
But somehow I'm thinking it's not that easy... Because it didn't work .
I have a created a menu and the pages are on a seperate swf file which is to be loaded onto the top of.
firstly i used this code but it still only went to frame 1 of the laoded movie:
on (release) {
loadMovie("a2.swf", 1);
_level1.gotoAndStop(15);
}
then i found this code. But i cant get it to work correctly. does it go on frame one of the movie or on the button instance?

I've got a timeline and four buttons which each gotoandplay from the first frame on the same timeline. But I want each button to Stop() at different frames on the same timeline. So is it possible to do a GotoAndPlay ... And Stop function on a button in flash?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a Play Again button on my game. When the game finishes a menu comes up on the screen with a play again button. The menu is created using a class and the button event is created and handled in the actionscript in the current frame. The button event handler makes a call to gotoAndPlay(currentFrame, "scene").
Whenever the button is pressed however it takes me to the next frame, for example if the current frame is 3 it will show frame 4. Usually the button is removed from the stage when the button is clicked but if i disable that and the button remains, you can click on it again and it it will take u to the correct scene, and again will take you to the next scene and back again and so on..
My timer counts down from 60 to zero. I want my movie to go to the next frame at zero count. How would I make a condition to go from frame 1-2? I need to find the right operator and values, but I get lost in the strings.
What I am trying
If (something is <> == true false);
gotoAndPlay(2);
stop();
//
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100, 300);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
[Code] ....
I'm making several experiments like this to understand conditionals. I need to build objects that function similar to preloaders.
Im going to make a page in flash as3, and now I have build the most of it. I will now load an external swf into the main swf, to save people for too must waiting time... my issue with normal words: I want to have a number of buttons. When you click on button 1 the first external swf load with a fade animation. Now when I would see whats behind button 2, is should animate the first swf out and remove it from the stage, to save wating time.... and the same should happend if i have 5 menu buttons...

i am having trouble with my gotoAndPlay in my MC.i have An MC1 on main stage then inside it i have another MC2. Now on my MC1 i want wen it comes to frame 15 to go and play starting frame2 on MC2,so in MC1 frame 15 i put mc2.gotoAndPlay(2);But nothing happens.Oh yea MC1 has stop on the first frame.

I have two files
main.swf & nav.swf.
In main.swf I have two frames on Layer1 "s1" & "s2"
On Layer2 I used the following scripts to load nav.swf
PHP Code:
loadMovieNum("nav.swf", 10);
Which works perfectly fine.
But on nav.swf ( external file ) I have two buttons on the stage. On the 1st button I have used the following script to go to "s1" frame which is on the main.swf
PHP Code:
on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("s1");}
I have used the following script to go to "s2" frame which is on the main.swf
PHP Code:
on (release) { _root.gotoAndPlay("s2");}
Which seems to be not working fine. I have also attached those two fla files.
Now what im trying to do is add a gotoAndPlay(); to a button.
Now the old way of selecting the button then actions doesnt work.
How would i when button1 is selected gotoAndPlay(58) for frame 58?
