ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Play Movie Clips In 1 Frame
Feb 1, 2010
I've set a list of movies symbols playing at different time line individually and put them all together in 1 frame on the main timeline. However, i'm thinking of playing those symbols 1 at a time without changing the main timeline. Each of those symbols has the stop(); on them. However, it doesn't seem to work as i thought it would be. Is there anyway i could create a button, and while clicking on the button itself, it plays the 1st symbol and stop before playing the next symbol ? Sorry, i haven't put up any codes yet. A newbie here doing his final major project.

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

I have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
[Code]....
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".

I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......

Basically, my main time line has a few layers and just a few frames. On each frame there is a different movie clip. Buttons are on a seperate layer on the main timeline, each button initiating a gotoAndStop for each frame, linked via frame labels which are on yet another layer.
Now, here's my problem. I'm happy with each movie clip looping endlessly, all except for the second last one.
What I want to do is, make it so that when this said Movie clip finishes playing it automatically (i.e no mouse events) gotoAndStops on the proceeding movieclip.

I am creating a site, and it has a animation that it has to play before loading the next section. What I cant figure out is what function I need to create so that when a user clicks on the vision button it will play the frame after stop(); which will close that section, then have it load the frame for the section that the person clicked on. The only way I can think of doing this is creating 3 different close animations for the three sections. But I figure there has to be a way to have it play the one close animation and then goto the frame which is the portfolio section or vision section (depending on the button clicked).

I want to have 5 movie clips play one after they other. So in frame 1 of the main timeline I have movie clip 1 and a stop action. I'm imagining there is an action I can put in the final frame of mc 1 (and all of the rest) so that it will then go to the next frame of the main timeline where it will start the timeline up again and stop and play the next mc.

I am building a flash header for my website. I want to have two parts. The first part is about a 10 second intro. The second part though will be a looping slideshow (It's photography site). Basically two different movie clips.Can someone give me a little help getting started? I think I can use AS (3.0) to loop the second movie but I need a way to recognize the end of a movie.

I am looking for a script that can let me do this:If I click a button - 1 movie clip will play X number of frames, and then after it completes, a 2nd movie clip will play X number of frames.It is important that I can do this in one script in the buttonOtherwise the easy way to do it would be add a command at the end of the 1st movie clip. Which I don't want to do because I am trying to create a conditional event thingy.

I have 8 movie clips on my stage. Each contains a motion guided tween. I want the tween to play through, and then the next movie clip to start playing until it has cycled through all 8. Then it starts over at the first movie clip again.I have achieved this using mouse events.. but I need it to play with no input from the player/audience at all.
I tried having a boolean variable on the main stage, and inside each movie clip change the value of the boolean once it reached the end of the motion guide, but that threw errors at me. It also threw errors at me when i tried to play a function from the main stage inside a movie clip. Is there no way to have a movie clip change something or call something from the main stage?
I would use event listeners for tween motion finishes, but because I need my symbols to move in an arc, i need to use a motion guide and not a simple tween. Unless there is a way to play motion guides via actionscript?
CODE
Main Stage/Timeline
import flash.events.MouseEvent; clicky.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickygo); var tweenArray = new Array (tween1, tween2, tween3, tween4, tween5, tween6, tween7, tween8); var i:int = 0; function clickygo(e:MouseEvent):void { if (i < tweenArray.length) { tweenArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); i++; } else { i = 0; tweenArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); i++;

I have a movie clip, lets call this Container. This contains another 4 movie clips, BubbleRed, BubbleGreen, BubblePurple and BubbleGold. Each of these 4 movie clips have an animated time line. When a Container is rolled over it is added to an array. I have a function which does things to the Containers on the array. However I have been trying to get the movie clips in the container to play.

I have two movie clips embedded on my timeline each with a button that on release plays the clip. I want them to play independently so that when i click on the first video it just plays that video and not both. The same for the second video for it to just play the second video.

I'm using cue points to trigger animated movie clips over the top of an .flv video file.
Problem is, by the time the cue point triggers the _mc, the movieclip has finished it's animation and shows the end frame of the animation only.
I need the movie clip to only start to play from start to end once it's triggered by the cue point.

I have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.
I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.
When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

If I have SWF's that I am using for UI elements in a game, and in these SWF's there are layers with Movie Clips and these clips have only one frame in them - do I need to explicitly put a stop() in there for optimal performance?
I'm curious if these movie clips sit there and loop with only one frame and in the end hurt the game's overal FPS

Is it possible to have an instance of a movie clip symbol which has its own timeline "play" when you scrub the main timeline?You can do this with graphic symbols, but so far I've had no luck doing this with movie clips.See, I have a movie clip -- several actually -- with their own timelines which I want to place in the main timeline.When I scrub the main timeline I'd like to see them scrub as well, instead of simply seeing the first frame of the movie clip.I basically have to work blind like this.
What I'm trying to do is basically have several "slides" which are animated and then have a stop();. They'll sit there for a second and then the entire animation, or slide (movie clip) will move off the stage. I can't do this now. When I scrub the main timeline I can't tell what's happening in the movie clip. I can't tell when I can slide it off the stage.I tried to get around this by using graphic symbols with their own timeline, but adding a stop(); doesn't work in them.

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.

So I used flash for some relatively extensive movies back in the MX days, but haven't done much with it since. I'm trying to build a relatively simple movie now in the newest version of the software, but I'm having some trouble.I want to create various smaller movie clips with animations in them, then drop them into the main timeline and have them animate automatically when the playhead hits them. However, when I view the movie (or test it) all I get is the first frame, they don't animate.Did I set up the document wrong or something, or is this something basic I missed in the newer versions? Is there a better way to structure this?

I have a movie clip loaded using action script 3 at the start of my animation, I want ito to end at the 120th frame. But I can't use the stop(); command because it will also stop the rest of my animations from the 121st frame onwards. how can I stop the movie clip without stopping the rest of my animations?

I am trying to place 6 movie clips in an array and access them in a random manner so that when a button is pressed a movieclip appears and plays randomly. All MCs are in frame one along with this code:
stop();blk1._visible=false;blk2._visible=false;blk3._visible=false;ppk1._visible=false;ppk2._visible=false;ppk3._visible=false;
storeCartons = new Array();storeCartons = (blk1, blk2, blk3, ppk1, ppk2, ppk3);
