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:

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.
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;

I have a series of a few frames, but the AS only runs on the first of the series for some reason. How do I get it to run on every single one of them? Image: [URL]

when i play the .swf i get an error message
I am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.
The following is a scenario, but not script:
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20:
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22.
I am currently doing this in a different way.
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So...
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.
Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?
created a (what I thought was simple) gallery.I have all the large images on a timeline layer were each image fades in over the course of half a second then stops. I created navigation buttons, next and previous on each frame that are supposed to navigate to the next image. The action script for the nav buttons is different depending on which image (frames) you are on. However, when I publish the swf the next and previous buttons don't go to the frames I prescribe for them in Actionscript, but just go to random frames in the timeline. Also, I have a series of thumbnails that have actionscript that navigates to pictures/frames when clicked so I don't know if they are interacting badly. Does anyone have any idea whats going on?Here's an example of the AS for the previous and next buttons (instance names prev_btn and next_btn):
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navback1);
function navback1 (event)

It seems like no matter where I check, there isn't a clear answer to this particular issue.Rather than blabber on about the code, I think it is important for me to address that I may just not be setting up my document correctly. At present, I created several layers, some in folders, for a basic portfolio website. I have my problems with my main buttons, in my "Sections" folder, where each button is a distinctive layer so it can be animated when it is pressed.I have a button called 'architecture' that is pressed, but instead of just statically moving the frame to the desired content, I want to play 5-7 frames that I tweened for a small transition (sometimes opacity, sometimes sliding mask) that occurs right before the content. All my transitions and everything is just on this one main timeline.
Basically, I sort of want to have the best of both worlds, where I can goToAndPlay, but then stop it at the end of that segment, as to not run into my next frames of content.My first solution was to simply place a stop(); at the end of the transition, but then the menu just locks and stops. Of course this was on my top layer named 'actions.'I then tried applying each event listener to it's buttons' layers, but that resulted in the button simply not working.I segmented up the actions layer into keyframes, but then realized that it didn't call on the event listeners if I did that.
I am working with some actionscript that are spread out amongst different frames, and having changing conditions, determines whether to end the sequence (gotoAndStop(1)) or continue (gotoAndPlay(5))
(For easy example):
frame 4=
x=1
frame 5 =
x=x+1
frame 6 =
if (x=10){
gotoAndStop(1)
}else{
gotoAndPlay(5)
}
I understand this easy example could be done several ways on one frame easily, (while x<10, etc).. but my code is so long and complicated, that the way I wrote it, it was easier to have it sort of "loop" between frames. The problem with this is, I think the frame jumping is slowing the coding down. I tried functions, (like having all coding in frame 5 as a function, then calling that function with the "else" in frame 6), but that would only run the function once.. I need it to keep looping.
I have an main.swf that loads home.swf on the stage. In home there are mc's that when clicked take you to different frames inside home.swf I need to have a gotoAndPlay eventlistener off a button which would take the user back to frame one of home.the home .swf has 6 frames with different clips in each frame on one layer, text for the back to first frame on another layer, an invisible btn and an actions on two separate layers
first question :
the individual frames are 7-8-9 the gotoAndPlay action is on frame 7 ONLY the button only works when in frame 7 if 8-9 are not individual blanks why doesn't the button work when in frames 8 and 9?In other words can't I use an action that triggers a function assigned to a button that spans across more than one frame?if the button spans across 7 - 8 - 9 and the action frame is on 7 how can I get this to work?
here is what I am trying to achieve in as3 in as2:
Code:
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*3)
if (randomNumber == 0){
gotoAndPlay(1);
[Code]....
on frame 1, 30 and 60 there is a different animation, with this code at the end of each animation it randomly chooses one of the optional frames to play from.
I'm struggling with AS3 trying to play a series of movie clips, one after the other, like a slideshow. There are no button controls, just several layers, each with a movie clip in the first frame. I want to go down the list and play one after the other and then eventually end on the last clip without looping back to the first.
View 15 RepliesBasically I have a MC called 'plane3.' Inside that MC is another MC called 'plane2.' Inside 'plane2' is an animation on frame 5.(inside the MC 'plane3' the MC 'plane2' is on a classic tween going side-to-side from frame 1 to 99, once it gets to frame 99 the code gotoAndPlay(1); makes it go on loop back to the beginning)My question is how would I go about: when you click 'plane3' it lets the tween continue playing until frame 10, then on frame 10, it gotoAndPlay (100); in the same MC and ALSO plays frame 5 from inside 'plane2'
View 5 RepliesI am using a mouseEvent listener
iBubble1.addEventListener("click",doStuff);
to call a function that uses gotoAndPlay to send the playback head to a certain animation on the timeline.
function doStuff(evt:Event):void {
gotoAndPlay("popped");
}
Should be so simple. But the first frame of the "popped' animation, often the first 2, do not display. (when testing the compiled app, even the first 3-4 frames often do not display)Without the mouse event listener, using gotoAndPlay("popped"); to move the playback head to this animation from another spot in the timeline works just fine, so that's why I suspect the mouse event is involved in the bug.using
trace(currentFrame);
in the function after gotoAndPlay, does trace the correct first frame number of the animation, but this frame is not displayed, the animation just starts with the 2nd frame, or 3rd..or sometimes 4th.
how to literally describe what I want to achieve. But I believe it is an easy achievement for someone who is a little familiar with Actionscript (2).
I have a movieclip with backgrounds that fades in and out as the timeline within the movieclip plays. What I wanna do I place an actionscript at frame 1, before any of the background plays, that randomizes a gotoAndPlay function that jumps to a decided frames out of frame 2, 77, 152, 227, 302, 377 etc.
It should be a problem to use the same actionscript after each background has been shown? If it is, its no problem, doesnt matter too much. As long as the first background that is getting randomized is different each time you visit the website.
I am new to flash and creating a file with a series of 25 images. I have each image on its own keyframe in the stage1 and I have buttons for: play_btn, stop_btn, next_btn, prev_btn My next and prev buttons work ie...
[Code]...
but I am unable to get any AS3 code to work as a Mouse.Click to play the series of keyframes. Every time I try to add a gotoAndPlay to the play_btn my file just starts a continuous loop.
how would you play the next 5 frames if the space bar was clicked and then stop the playhead?
View 4 RepliesAfter 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.

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 8 Repliesi 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. But i dont see why it wont work.

I'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.
Im making an "intro" for a website.. first some picture come in and when you click one of them all picture goes to bottom of the flash.. My problem is: I need it to Frist. gotoAndPlay "the frames" THEN link.. the "movie" takes about 3 secounds.. Is there some sort of code i can use to "tell it to wait" and then link? this is what i got so far. (i know its wrong hehe)
knap.onPress = function()
{
gotoAndPlay(42);
}
if(knap._currentframe < 84) {
trace(lala);
} else {
getURL("/1_profil-.htm","_self");
I 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.

give me the actionscript for a bar that has a play and stop button to play and stop frames in a flash movie. i would be gratefull if you could as i am really stuck
View 2 RepliesHow 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.
