ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip Nextframe Prevframe With Button On Stage?
Oct 19, 2011
Ok I know how to do this in AS2, but I decided to make a sort of dress up game in AS3.
The only thing I don't get to work is: I have 5 frames in a movieclip, the movieclip is on the stage and so is the button, but I want the button to perform nextframe and prevframe of the frames that are in the mc.
I used this code but it does nothing (except for activating my button as a button)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
nexthair.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1)
[Code].....

I want to trigger via mouseDown a function that plays a 30 frame mc while the mouseX coordinate increases and the mouse Y decreases. Then when the mouseX coordinates decreases and mouseY increases ie. the mouse moves up on the stage - mc plays in reverse So basically the movieClip is scrolled by the mousemovement. When the mouse is not moving mc stops at currentFrame

I need to happen is when the UP arrow key is pressed, go to next frame. If the DOWN arrowkey is pressed, go back a frame. Here is the code:
< quote >
//stop();
//keyListener = new Object();
//keyListener.onKeyUp = function()
[Code]....
Unfortunately, it is giving me some problems. At first, it seems to work fine, it will go forward a frame if UP key is pressed. However, if I press the down key, then the up key again, it will skip a frame. For example:
I am on frame 1- I press UP key, flash goes to frame 2 On frame 2, I press DOWN key, flash goes to frame 1 On frame 1 again, if I press UP key, flash will jump to frame 3 It will continue to do this until I am left with just my first and last frame and can't go thorugh the other ones.

I'm trying to create a movie clip that can be controlled to move a shape left or right (as animated in the movie clip) via buttons on the main stage.
I was thinking I could just add prevFrame or nextFrame to the controlling buttons when the mouse rolls over them... like this:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.shape.prevFrame();
}
But now I need a method of repeating it non-stop while you are on the button. Can I loop the prevFrame infinatly or loop that line of code?
P.S I'm just getting to grips with actionscript and I'm hitting a few hurdles on the way, so please excuse my ignorance.

First off, I'm a total noob when it comes to actionscript. I'm attempting to create a flash movie file that basically has a number of thumbnails in a straight line. As the user puts their mouse over a button I'd like the movie to advance to the next frame and keep playing until the user's mouse leaves that button. I found an online tutorial to accomplish this in AS 2.0 but I would rather do it in 3.0 so it's current.I have the following code that sort of works; when I hover over the right_btn, it advances to the next frame, but only advances 1 frame instead of playing the movie forward. The left_btn should go to the previous frame and play the movie backwards.
right_btn.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[code].....

In AS2, I was able to create an rollover and rollout state that utilized the nextFrame() and prevFrame() commands. When hovering over the hit target, a specific movie clip would continuously advance to the next frame using an onEnterFrame command. Conversely, in a rollout state, the movieclip would play backwards until it reached the first frame.
I could specifically use some help with how to implement the onEnterFrame command so that the nextFrames and prevFrames constantly run.

I'm trying to make a button that when clicked will make my movie clip go to the next frame, and it works fine only when it gets to the last frame in the movie clip it just stops. How can I make it loop back to the first frame with the same button. I know I can have next/previous buttons but I'm using only one button and need it to change frames on a loop.
Code:
stop();
circleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNext);
function onNext(evt:MouseEvent){
circle.nextFrame();
}

How to control button in movie clip in order to exit back to the main stage.

on(release){

Basically I have a movie clip that comes up on the stage and plays to frame 230. I have placed a stop(); inside the movieClip on frame 230. I would like to have a continue button come up outside the movieClip on the stage when that movieClip reaches 230.I was hoping this would work but I am having trouble. This code is on the stage level outside the movieClip.Both the continue button and the movieClip are on the stage.
if (movieClip.currentFrame == 230){
continueBtn.visible = true;
} else {

I want to remove a MovieClip from the stage once a button has been clicked.The MovieClip is created in the same class as my button function i created. The button works fine but whatever i try to put within the function to remove the MovieClip cause the error i mentioned at the start.

On the main stage I have a button that I have made invisible once the file is loaded. Inside a movieclip I have on frame 15 the following actionscript 3 code
button_mc.visible = true;
I want the button to become visible at the end of this movieclip. I am not using an external as3 file, I am putting the as3 code in its own layer on the first frame.
I know it has something to do with the path to the button, but I cannot figure it out. If there is anyone who can point me in the right direction for referencing instances by instance name that reside on the main satge from inside a movieclip

So I've imported video into my flash using the "progressive download from a web server." When the video ends, I want it to automatically go back to the frame I played the video from. What code would I use to do that? I dont want to insert an "x" button, my boss wants it to be automatic. Do I insert a CuePoint? I don't know too much about flash so I'm not sure how to use onCuePoint or anything.

I'm making a game in which a character walks along a motion guide to the point on the guide nearest the users click. Easy enough.This motion guide is contained within a MovieClip named Sc1.Now, within the motion guide MovieClip the character is a combination of various MovieClips contained in a single MovieClip, which is placed at the beginning of the guide and tweened to the end of the line. This tween and the MovieClip's component's timelines are controlled based on the point of a users click. Furthermore to add a level of 'realism' the character turns to face front, back or sides, based on the gradient of the slope at which it is travelling, giving the illusion of walking towards or away from the screen.All this works fine. The character instance (SWJim) will walk from left to right, turn and stop at the correct point. The character itself behaves too, moving arms and legs as it should.
However, in order to get the character to walk back from right to left, i have used a boolean to flag the timeline as in 'reverse' mode and the prevFrame() function. This raises an interesting problem with the character in which it will move as planned, but won't turn to face the appropriate direction and the character MovieClip won't play (i.e. arms, legs etc. will remain in their default positions). In order to turn, the character has a series of 5 frames in which it faces different directions. A gotoAndStop(); is used to change the direction of the character.I did a bit of searching and it seems that prevFrame() may have been causing the animations to stop because it was in my onLoop() function, called by the ENTER_FRAME event listener. In order to combat this I used a timer instead to call the onLoop() function, but that produced pretty similar results.[code]

I read a tutorial about complex buttons with prevFrame function on this site. I was wondering how I could use this function to unload my movie. I have a movie (swf) that loads itself into another movie. Now what I would like form this movie to do is to kindly unload itself the way it loaded in. This should happen once a button on the main (root) timeline would be pressed. I already have all the buttons set up, but I have no idea how to write a code that would send my movie backwards. I is simply put a this.onEnterFrame = prevFrame; on the last frame, but now there is a problem. I have to somehow stop this movie until a button is pressed. And only when a button is pressed it should execute prevFrame.

i have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:
