ActionScript 3.0 :: GotoAndPlay From A Class?
Apr 17, 2010
I�m trying to write a class file that listens for a mouse click on a tab menu then opens the corresponding page by jumping to a certain frame using gotoAndPlay().
When I run it Flash gives me the following 2 warnings:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay.
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method gotoAndPlay is no longer supported. For more information, see MovieClip.gotoAndPlay()..
[Code]....
Im pretty sure it�s something to do with my class extending SimpleButton but then trying to use gotoAndPlay which is a MovieClip action. Do I have to make a separate MovieClip class and somehow link it to this? Or can I add some more code to this to get it to work?

So in my document class, I'm doing import Enemy;. This Enemy class extends MovieClip and takes MCs from the library in flash by doing new Enemy1();. This MC in Flash has a timeline with stop();on the first frame. In my Enemy class, I want to tell it to gotoAndPlay(2), so I'm doing that with this. gotoAndPlay(2);, but it won't play. It just stays on the first frame. What am I missing to make this work?

I'm a bit rusty in flash.
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var mytween:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,-320.10,47.90,5,true);
mytween.onMotionFinished = function() {
var mytween2:Tween = new Tween(ball_mc,"_x",Strong.easeInOut,47.90,-320.10,5,true);
} mytween2.onMotionFinished = function() {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
It does the first and second tween but doesn't do the gotoAndPlay function?

I got a simple block of code that stops the main timeline on a certain frame, but so far I've been unable to form a code that would gotoAndPlay when mouse click happens on a button I made, and mind you I'm doing this in a document class. I've heard different instructions how to make the button, some say make it a movieclip, some say nest it in a movieclip

I just want to ask if is it possible to call a movieclip using the String Class together with it's instance name to use gotoAndPlay() method. I know how to use the instance name and the method but then what if I want to use a string together with the instance name and the gotoAndPlay.

I am currently creating a project in flash. Basically I have nearly a hundred frames. I want my next button to play scene 90 to 100 and then play 60-80 after the previous one has finished. I have already put action script in the top layer to make sure it will stop at 100 and stop at 80 but i cant get them to play after each other. I haven't a clue of what function to use only go to and play but then they would play at the same time right?

How can I get a movie clip to play when pressing the right arrow key? The movie clip is called helicopter and it has stop(); on its first frame (with an animation following).
Here is the loop that tells the arrow keys what to do when pressed:
public function loop(e:Event) : void
{
vy += gravity;
y += vy;

hen 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 am trying to perform a simple jump on a button with this basic code,
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("ToMain");
}
This works most of the time. Other times it simply skips the jump and continues on. This jump is aimed to skip over an intro (so heavy image transitions with music and commentaries added). I am guessing the intense cpu processing is the cause of the skip. Is there a sure way of performing this jump?

On the same frame, I have two buttons - one with alpha transparency above an image, and one regular one. Both have the " on (release) { gotoAndPlay (2) ; }" code. The transparent one doesn't work, but the other one does.

I've got a movie clip and at the final frame of the clip, I have an action to make it go back but to a frame label and I've tried a number of different versions of the GotoAndPlay action and none work. They're all being ignored and I don't get it. Here's what I've tried:
this.gotoAndPlay("32");
this.gotoAndPlay("start");
gotoAndPlay(32);
gotoAndPlay("start");

I'm having problems with my animation getting cut of by my navigateToURL code. What is supposed to happen is,If you click on "buttonBtn" it triggers a animation. At the end of the animation it is supposed to stop and bring up a url. I've used gotoAndPlay ("frm") and navigateToUrl. Each time I test it in the browser the animation will begin, but the url comes up before the animation is finished. How do I allow the animation to play all the way through and then retrieve the url?
stop();
//SimpleButton ButtonBtn;
function handleClick( pEvent:MouseEvent):void

I have a preloader that loads an external .swf. Problem is, it doesn't show the .swf until it is 100% loaded. But, the external .swf starts to play before it reaches 100%. I placed a stop function in the external .swf so now, after it loads 100% it is still on the first frame. How do I get it to automatically goToAndPlay the second frame?
Also, when the external .swf reaches the end, it needs to loop back. I am guessing that I will have the same problem after it reaches the end, loops back to first frame and stops again.

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);
};

On my first frame, I have: 6 buttons (p1 through p6). A holder mc_holder, which holds mc_pages, {a movie clip that shows 6 pages (each their own movie clip, page1 though page6) tweened across the screen, made to look as if the pages are being "flipped" through).
The following code:
Code:stop();
var _holder = mc_holder.mc_pages;
var picked;p1.goal = 1;
p1.onRelease = goPage;
p2.goal = 10;
[Code] .....
The problem is, as soon as the movie loads, ALL these animations begin to play. I am looking for a solution so that the animations will not play until the page is viewed. I am thinking I can put a stop on the first frame of each page, and a frame label ("go") on the second frame. Can I add this (my knowledge is limited but say... gotoAndPlay (go")) to the code shown above? I have tried messing around with it but have not yet had any results.

I'm trying to make it so that when a movieclip (box) touches another movieclip (exit), it goes to frame 2.I've made it so that (box) moves with the arrow keys and doesn't go pat the barriers (boulders) using this:
x.onEnterFrame = function()
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {box._x += 5;}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {box._x -= 5;}

I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {

I have a movieclip with labels "normal" and "mouseover" . I am using the following code :
var thisButton:MovieClip = this.getChildByName(e.currentTarget.name) as MovieClip;
thisButton.gotoAndPlay("mouseOver");
On debugging "thisButton" does goto mouseover and the frame changes. But visually there is no change and the animation is not played.

I'm trying to gotoAndPlay using AS3 in a certain frame inside a symbol, my target frame is inside another symbol which is "Carrera" (class name). Both symbols where placed on the scene by dragging from the library.
I've tried with:
MovieClip(carrera).gotoAndPlay(1);
Error Output:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert carrera$ to flash.display.MovieClip.
at fondoUcreativa/frame500()
Also tried with:
carrera.gotoAndPlay(1);
Compiler Error:Symbol 'fondo Ucreativa', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 500, Line 4 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type Class.

Is there any way to disable the gotoAndPlay? I currently have a drop target and when I drop a movie clip on the target it runs the gotoAndPlay, but when I drop the movie clip on the target again it runs the gotoAndPlay. I don't want this to happen.How would I get the gotoAndPlay to run once, so that when i drop on the target again nothing happens.

Maybe someone in this forum can give me some help. Here is what I'm trying to do... I have page that when you click any of the buttons, it triggers the same animation. Now, depending on which button you click, it will take you to a different url. My problem is, with the code I have, the animation gets cut off before it's finished and goes straight to the url. I know I need some type of listener or something to watch for the end of the animation before going to the url. I can't seem to figure out what that code is or where it needs to go. Also, my animation is not in a movie clip. It's all in Scene 1. I've got the following script in the first frame of the actions layer. I'm only about three weeks into self-teaching AS3, so tell me like a third grader what is up.[code]

This is what I want to do:
- Pass a variable to a SWF. It can be 1, 2 or undefined.
- Read the variable and jump to a frame in the movie depending on the value.
[code]I know flash reads the "URLvariable": I checked it by displaying in a text field... but the gotoAndPlay sentences doesn't work! Instead of it, Flash continues playing the timeline.
