ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Timeline Actions Of A Loaded Swf Execute?
Aug 22, 2009
I've got a little movie player class that loads and plays swfs given a url string.However, in some of my swf's for example there are Actions on certain frames to stop() certain movieclips. But they aren't getting executed when loaded with my class therefore some of those child clips will keep looping until the movie is over. Is there a way to instruct Flash to execute the timeline actions of a loaded swf?

If I have a movieclip in my library with some animation on the timeline and actions as well (stops, calls to other methods, etc.) and at runtime I add this clip to the display list, everything works as expected. The actions in the timeline of said clip are fired.If however, I load this file into another swf all the actions in the movieclip are ignored.Attached is a demonstration of this behavior. simply runnning Child.swf on it's own will show nothing as there is a stop on the first frame of the attached clip. However run the Shell.swf (which loads Child.swf) and you'll see the animation of the movie clip. There are no calls anywhere telling anything to start playing. What's worse, the method call further down the timeline and the stop and the end of the timeline are also ignored. Compiling these files and looking at the Output window, you'll see the trace from the method "__testCall" is never fired.Is this a bug with the Flash Player?I've had to use addFrameScript as an alternative to actually having the actions on the timeline. lame.

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.

I have a movie clip in frame 1 that skips to frame 2, contained in this function:
Code: Select allskipIntro_MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, introClick);
function introClick(pEvent:MouseEvent):void{
if(skipIntro_MC.visible == true && pEvent.target == skipIntro_MC)
{
[Code].....
Am I right in thinking this is happening because it's still trying to execute actions that were happening in frame 1 (fading in of movie clips using transitions) when it goes to frame 2? If so, how do I stop these actions so this error doesn't occur?

I have a class called TestMover and it has a function in it which changes its X position. I would like to execute that function from the main timeline. It worked when I used static function but it threw an error when I tried to change the value of X.[code]...

I'm an animator trying to use actionscript along with timeline animation.The setup is flock>fly>wings flock movieclip 30f long, the script looping, starting multiple fly movieclips at different points.
fly movieclip 30f long, controls wings0 movieclip timeline (3 frames, each with a movieclip). Frame1: wings0.gotoAndStop(2) Frame24: wings0.gotoAndStop(1) Frame48: wings0.gotoAndStop(3)
From flock timeline I'm trying to override actions in fly3. to call a different wings0 animation.
flock Frame1: var loop:Number = 0; fly1.gotoAndPlay(15); fly2.gotoAndPlay(8); fly3.gotoAndPlay(20); if(fly3.currentFrame==24){ fly3.wings0.gotoAndStop(3); }
flock Frame 30:
loop = loop + 1;if (loop > 0) {this.gotoAndPlay(2);} else {this.stop();}
But the animation of fly3 doesn't change.

my first post one here so i hope someone can be of assistance.I have been using actionscript 3.0 with no problems for a couple of months, but i suddenly encountered a problem that i can't get beyond now.when i click on 'actions' my timeline collapses. This happens whether from right clicking on my timeline or selecting it from the top menu.Since this has happened i can't find a way of bringing up the actionscript screen.

This is maddening - I'm clearly missing something about how actions relate to the timeline.I some actionscript on Frame 1 of my movie that changes the color of a movieclip on the stage on MouseOver/Out. I then have actionscript that takes you to Frame 10 when this movieclip is clicked.Here's the problem: On Frame 10, I DON'T want the MouseOver/Out actions to execute, and I have cleared the keyframe containing those actions on Frame 10 - there is no actionscript detailing MouseOver events what-so-ever on Frame 10. Yet, these events are still occurring, which leads me to believe the movie still thinks it's on Frame 1, even though it's showing Frame 10.Is there some method of clearing any existing Actionscript from previous frames when it reaches a new frame (I thought clearing the keyframe was supposed to do it, but apparently not)

For some reason, I can't get any actionscript on the timeline to work. Even something as simple as stop(); on frame 1 of the movie has no effect. I don't get compiler errors either. Now I have noticed that in Edit-Preferences-Actionscript-Actionscript 3 Settings, the Source Path, Library Path and External Library Path are all empty.

I am new to FLASH and have created a rotating banner for our website with 5 roatating images with 5 invisble buttons linking to 5 landing pages. And it works the first loop through. However when it gets to action 5 for my last image, that link continues for all the buttons is subsequent loops.What do I need to add to my code to get the actions to loop like the timeline is looping? Code used for the links. This is the link that continues after the first run of the banner:
var url5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.facebook.com/MoDOT.KansasCity");, onStageClick5);

I am like a new-born-newbie when it comes to Action Script 3.0 (or any other version for that matter). I've been trying to learn it by myself for the past week and a half using manuals and other sources but it's not so easy as there are many concepts that take some getting used to (I've never done programming before). So I ask of anyone who is kind enough to give me a hint or point me in the right direction. I am sure this will seem like a very easy and probably stupid question for the well-informed but it has been eluding me for the past 4 days.
I am making a website (I should say it's pretty much finished except for this one detail) it's simple and short. Nothing very fancy. There are 8 buttons in total for the main navigation (4 buttons in English and 4 in Chinese, each language group in their own set of frames)
the button that serves as a link to the Chinese translated version of the site is supposed to go to a particular page, depending on which page the user is in at the moment (example: if it is in the portfolio page in English, when clicking on the Chinese button it should go to the portfolio page in Chinese and so on). Likewise with the English button in the Chinese version pages.[code]...

I've done a website with different pages using the Loader component. On one page I have a movieclip that has different images (like a slideshow) that fade between each other. I'm trying to add an action to make the movieclip pause for a few seconds between each fade. So I've added this action between each fade (in a layer, above the graphics layers, that only holds actionscript):
Code:
stop();
function restart(){

I'm loading an external SWF("slides.swf") into a AS3 UILoader component on the main stage with an instance name of "loadWindow" when the user clicks a button.I'm also monitoring "slides.swf" loading with preloader script. When the movie in the UILoader is completely loaded, I want to advance it (the movie within the UILoader) to the next frame. In AS2 it was easy to reference a swf loaded into a movie clip... the nested movie's root took the place of the MC's timeline.
stop();
load_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadFile);
function loadFile(e:Event):void {

I'm having some weirdness with a project that I'm doing in IE. Long story short, I've got a basic shell that loads in external SWFs based on user feedback. Once those SWFs get loaded in, they execute functions from the shell (_root) movie. It works great in Firefox, but immediately breaks (no way) in IE. The movie gets loaded in, but none of the functions run.
I suspect it has something to do with security, because, for a variety of reasons, I have to load the SWFs from their absolute location, rather than their relative location. When I test it locally (but loading the movies from their absolute, live location), everything still works, but I get that damn security warning that reads like this:

I have a main swf into which has a number of clip instances which serve as buttons to load separate swf files dynamically. The swf I'm testing has stop(); actions on various frames, but when loaded it simply plays through to the end and loops continuously.I was able to use onLoadInit to stop the loaded swf in the first frame, but have failed at various efforts to direct the clip to play again in the manner that I desire- i.e. stopping at the various pause points until a click starts it playing again.

I need an externally loaded mc (a listener) to execute a tween when another movie clip (a broadcaster) is pressed. So, when you press on mc1, mc2 executes a function. Sounds so simple. And I feel I almost cracked it. Now, I know the theory behind broadcasters and listeners, but my code simply doesn't work. I must be dumb since I couldn't figure it out from the senocular's tut on broadcasters and listeners.
To try to illustrate the problem more: listeners are a couple of arrows, left and right. They are movie clip buttons that work on the rewind principle. There's an externally loaded mc at the stage that executes its intro tween (nothing special), and when it stops I want it to start listening to the arrows. So, when on(release) on the arrow occurs, externally loaded mc executes it's outro tween, and at the end calls for the next externally loaded mc on the stage.
Now, to add another question; I have 6 externally loaded clips, called by the arrows. When the first and the last one are on the stage, I'd like to disable the previous, and the next buttons, respectively. I thought I'll just do arrow.enable = false in the first and the last clip.

I am making an image gallery and have so far got buttons that display a group of movie clips inside another movie clip. onclick { _root.attachMovie ("group","group",1) } or something, from the top of my head.
I now need to make it so that each movie clip inside "group" displays another movie clip, "image". How do I do this, seeing as they are dynamically loaded?

I have 2 classes that deal with making my menu. One creates a button and the other creates a menu using the buttons. I have XML set up to set the text in each button. What I cannot figure out is the best way to have each button do something different. I do not have much time to complete the site so the way I thought about doing it was giving each of the buttons a name and setting that to what the text was inside the button. All this is happening in my menu class. [code]...

Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.

Timer works too but it only count down from 100 till 0 in a fast way. But what I want to do is make a code: if / else function on the timer that is linked to movieclips. Just need a hint in the right direction. I was just working on that The timer is on a keyframe "Actions" on the timeline in the fla file.

When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

basically on the stage I have my Menu movieclip which is linked to an actionscript class called Menu. Within this I have another movieclip, not linked to actionscript, just a plain old movieclip.
This movie in question is a dialog box, and contains an animation for it popping up, and then going away again. I'm trying to put actions on specific frames to make it stop when it reaches the middle of the animation, then when "ok" is pressed the animation will resume and it disappears again. However the actions on the frames don't seem to be getting executed. I tried putting "this.stop();" on the middle frame, and have since put "trace("hello?");" on all kinds of frames but it doesnt seem that the actionscript is getting called at all.
This is something for work so I don't really want to start sending the .fla file around, but instead is there anything I should know about things which could cause the frame actions to not be executed?
