i know how to make a link to a parent frame in AS3
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);
function aboutClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("about");
}
thats what i use.. works great. But how to I go up two movie clips, becuase the code above only goes up one movie clip. I'm trying to go up two movie clips instead of one now.
I Want to have a button info_btn. Now i know how to make a button and link it to a scene/frame.
But what im asking is, i want the button to display something (text field or movieclip(doesn't matter )) but I do not want it to go to another scene or frame if you know what i mean ? i want it to display there and then on the same scene and frame with a button to close it.. Is this possible?
I am trying to make a text link within a scroll box jump to another frame within the same Flash file. Is this possible without having to make a button or movie clip? For some reason if I insert an object like a movie clip or button in the scroll box, it appears in a different area when I publish the file so I can't use that option for links.
I need to be able to highlight the text and then program it to jump to another frame label.
1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
I've got an object (an instantiation of my own class that extends Sprite) being created in the actions for a frame, like this:
Code:
import Scripts.CFoobar;
var foobar:CFoobar = new CFoobar();
[code]........
I am literally at the end of my wick with this one! Here's the skinny, so to speak:
home.swf
products.swf
button line mc

i Have a swf, in which i load an external swf... and the external swf has a link which need to be open in the parent swf...

View 4 RepliesI 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".
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.

View 1 Replies[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I was just getting used to actionscript 2 now 3 comes along.. I have this segment of code: this.parent.videoOne.gotoAndPlay("playing") it doesn't work in AS3, in the parent I have a movie clip instance called "viedoOne" with a frame labeled "playing". Anything I do that doesn't involve movie clip instance names gets the job done. But what else do I do to make this work when instances are involved?
View 1 RepliesI am making a movie with frame lables and parent movies.So there is the maintimeline and a movie on each sucessvive frame, relating all relevant aniamtions/transitions from button to button.
Using this script
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("P_CommCent");
}
I have been able to do exaxtly what I want, jump from "P" to "CommCent" essentially, where each is a movie on the main timeline, the "P_CommCent" signifies the specic transtion. So my problem is... that this worked for all movies, now I want to jump from "Green" to "CommCent", using "Green_CommCent" however now it is not working.
I got these codes on the web, but they're not working. (I'm pretty new to flash).[code]...

I have a parent MC with all my content called GUI_MC, and on my timeline I have a Frame labelled "PAGE"
Within the GUI_MC I have a another MC for my navigation (NAV_MC)
In NAV_MC I have a button which I would like to gotoAndPlay the frame "Page" on the GUI_MC
Heres my button code:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay("PAGE");}
What do I need to add to make it goto the parent MC?.
My swf/exe has two buttons: Song and Story. It's a childrens book with two MP3s embedded.When you click on the buttons it goes to the respective "frame label" and plays the movie clips instantiated on the stage named "storybookSong" and "storybook".What I want to do, is when either the storybookSong or storybook movie clips finish I'd like the movie to return to the first parent frame of the movie, labeled "Home".Here's the code that I've tried.
Code:
stop();
function moleNav(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]....
This is located on the first frame of the swf/exe (outside the mcs themselves).
I have a Scrollpane with a movie clip inside of it and am trying to link to a frame in a parent movie clip and keep getting an error. I am linking it the same way I do any other links. I was using this code.
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//-------------Home Button
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeClick);
function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("home");
}
Is there something special I have to do because its linking to a frame FROM a scrollpane? Never done this one before.
I work on a truckload of flash banners and have progressed more into dispatching events from the final frame of a MovieClip that would contain an object (or collection of closely related objects) animating and then listening for them from the parent timeline so that I know when to continue the main animation etc.In the animation I'm working on currently, there's a car built from blocks over time (the blocks fall from the top of the banner to make up the car); this is all contained within one MovieClip (to make the resizing easier - all I'll have to do is move the entire MovieClip around).The problem is that when I place this MovieClip onto the timeline, it's represented by its first frame (which is nothing because no blocks have fallen yet). This makes it hard to work with because I can't really tell exactly where the car is going to be when the animation is done and so on.Is there a way to have the final frame of this MovieClip visible from the outer timeline?
View 3 RepliesThis is my code in Flash/AS3, in a frame's action:
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{

This is because I believe it is referring the splashTimer1 function by "this".
How can I refer to parent frame there, so that I can remove its event listener.
I have a flash page where I am loading another .swf into. With a button in the loaded swf I need to unload the loaded swf (where the button is) and navigate to a specific frame label in the parent .swf. I've tried to do the following in the key frame where the swf get loaded into I've put the following:
var gallery_load_wonderland:Loader = new Loader();
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, loop_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, done_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.load(new URLRequest("gallery_wonderland.swf"));
function loop_wonderland(e:ProgressEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I basically want to first load the swf called "gallery_wonderland.swf". Then in the "gallery_wonderland.swf" there's a button called "contact03_btn" which I want to unload "gallery_wonderland.swf" even though it's inside the swf and navigate to the frame label called "Contact" in the parent swf.
What can I do I've done similar before and it works, but when I do it know and I click the contact03_btn it comes with following error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@26215ba1 to flash.display.MovieClip.
