Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.
View 5 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.

how to use the arrows keys in a flash movie to move the timeline. None of them help, or work (or at least I can't get them to work as advertised). Some of the solutions seem way to complicated for such a simple problem. I don't want to use AS3. What I need to do is to have the ability to move from frame 1 to frame to or from scene 1 to scene 2 in my flash movie. This is the code I have in frame 1 (there is no other code in the swf) -
stop();
myListener = new Object ();
myListener.onKeyDown = function (){
trace ("you pressed a key");
[Code]....
This code "works", by that I mean I can go from frame 1,2,3,4,5 just fine and back from frame 5,4,3,2,1 just fine. The problem is once I am back at frame 1 and want to go back to frame 2, I get to frame 3, going forward goes to frame 5 and going back ends in frame 1.
I 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 Repliesbasically 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 function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
I want to preload all of the voiceover swf files before a lesson starts so that they are instantly available when each frame / page that incorporates a voiceover is first visited.
View 4 RepliesIm using this script on various movieclips in a game
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xplace = Math.round(_x);
if (xplace<10) {
[code]....
I use this so when characters move around movieclip it detects where it is and put the appropriate clip on top (so a character can move infront and behind objects). Theres a problem. The script works GREAT and does what its supposed to do. The problem is that every movie clip i put it on carries over to the next frame when the timeline is furthered. It doesn't help that its a clean frame (or even several frames ahead) the movieclips are still duplicated to the new frame and so on.
I need to start using AS3 for my job. So, I have gotten a great deal of help setting up classes with another co-worker's help and a myriad of tuts. Basically, What I need to do is, set up an XML navigation/subnav (got it), and use those links to populate a series of checkboxes. These check boxes will then be used to populate text in a dynamic text field (got that ready to rock). For example, of the user selects in the nav Agreement > TOC, they might get presented with 4 options:
Told and Agreed
Told and Disagreed
Lost Connection before Agreement
Was Not Told - Cancelled
How would I use XML to direct the MC that holds the check boxes (in some cases, close to 50 of them) to the right frame? I can pull from an XML doc, sure, but have never had the need to use it to run a movie clip before.
Here's the XML I'm basing this off of:
Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu_content>
<level style = "main.xml">
[code]....
So, in this example, How would I get "Balance" to go to the right frame in my (for the sake of argument) checkBox_MC ?
Is there a library or cli program which is capable of dropping/extracting frames from a SWF movie? Let's say I have a SWF movieclip with 451 frames, of which I will like to make a new movie clip out of with only the first 450 frames. No wrappers or containers though.
View 1 RepliesHow can I used ActionScript to draw on different frames of a movie clip. That is, make it so that
movieClip.gotoAndStop(0);
Will show something different to
movieClip.gotoAndStop(1);
So I've a movieclip with 2 frames placed on stage. 1st frame is button on state, 2nd frame is button off state which is just a bit lighter icon which can be achieved with alpha 40%.So I was wondering what would be better to do: leave the movieclip with 2 frames and then in ActionScript use .gotoAndStop() to show the off/on state or create movieclip with 1 frame and with ActionScript just change the .alpha of icon ? I mean better in performance, speed and all those things. Because if I have the movieclip with 2 frames and it's added to stage it's redrawing it going to 1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd.. frame until I .stop() it..

View 1 Replieshow can I get the number of frames in a movieclip?
View 11 RepliesEven though I HATE TimeLine based code (despite it being convenient for quick prototypes) I have been dabbing a slight bit in "addFrameScript()"
The problem is, there doesn't seem to be any way to set the number of frames in a MovieClip via code, and Flash doesn't automatically adjust the number of frames based on where "addFrameScript" code is located.
I'm not sure what use it would server, but is it possible to set the number of frames in a MovieClip without using the Flash Professional IDE?
And, as usual, a "No, Andreas. For the n-th time, it is not possible." response is okay.
Is it possible to find out the number of frames of a movieClip using actionscript? Like in the main timeline have some actions in frame 1 to find out the number of frames in "content" movieClip?
View 2 RepliesI have an issue where I have a movieclip with two frames, both of which have a textfield.
The problem is, when I call gotoAndStop(2) and try assign text to the textField in that second frame I get a null Pointer exception, as if the textfield doesnt exist anymore.
Code:
public function select(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
this.myLetter.text = "X"; //there is a textfield on frame two called myLetter
}
Its simple code but it doesn't seem to be working.

View 7 RepliesOn the stage, I have a movie clip called mc which contains 20 frames.I have put mc.stop(); on frame1 of the main timeline, this puts a stop action in frame1 of mc.Now I want to put a stop(); action on frame10 of mc using the main time line where all my code is.
The code fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].actionScript = 'stop();'; does seem to work and I don't know what to import.There also a code method addFrameScript(0, customFunction); but it only crashes flash player.
I'm creating an interactive that consists of 3 maps, each on its own tab. On each map, there are various circles representing data for a particular city.I want the circles to display a pop-up containing text when you roll over each one.

This all works fine, and I can get multiple buttons working on the first tab (frame 1) by grouping them all into a movie clip, as follows:

The problem is when I try to use the same or a similar with a different set of buttons on the second tab (frame 15). I put a similar set of actionscript on frame 15. The buttons seem to accept the buttonMode = true command, but I absolutely cannot get the rollovers to display. I've tried using different function names for the MOUSE_OVER and _OUT events, to no avail. I get no errors and nothing shows up in Output -- it just acts as if there's no rollover to display.Do I need to somehow put all the AS on Frame 1? Is it an issue related to ENTER_FRAME in the rollovers?

I have my variable 'output' and somehow I need to code a button so that when the user clicks it it takes them to my movie clip 'cdstack' frame 'output - 10' and plays then stops when it gets to frame 'output'. So it will play for ten frames then stop when it reaches 'output'.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to convert the frames of a MovieClip (mc) --which are vector graphics-- to Bitmaps in order to improve performance.
The Logic is simple: During the first time play of the mc on every frame I convert the vector display of the mc to BitmapData with their appropriate transformation applied and store these BitmapData instances in an Object with the frame number as the key. I use these BitmapData instances to create Bitmap instances and use them in place of the actual mc during the successive play.
Everything works fine except that there is a random but small position error for the created Bitmap instances so it looks like its vibrating in its place. I have no idea what is causing this.
