here is my AS3

I do have stop(); on the 1st frame of the portfoliohome.swf, but It plays the movieclip(my intro) before the loader finishes. Is there a way for me to move the play head to frame 2 while I have the stop() on the frame 1?
I have created a very basic preloader using flash components 'Loader' and 'ProgressBar". It's job is to load an external swf movie clip/file.
Problem: When the preloader has finished doing it's 'thing', i.e. reaches 100%, it loads/or seeming reveals the external movie already underway i.e. not at the first frame.
I've read a few posts from "Whispers", and have concluded that the problem is that the movie is streaming whilst being loaded. And also that i need to be using "init" in regards to 'listener'.
However i really want to be able to apply this to the code i am using it, as i had just kinda gotten to grips with it (the code).
Is anyone able to tell me what a need to alter to get the preloader to finish loading the movie COMPLETELY before it starts to play.
------------
myProgressBar.mode = "manual";
myProgressBar.setProgress(0, 100);
myProgressBar._visible = true;

I just followed the Preloader AS3 tut, and it works! Unlike the other sites
I have Flash CS4 AS3, and when the preloader is finished, it takes me to the end of my movie.
I'm a total beginner at this, since I've only been using Flash for about two days now , but I learn extremely fast !
In very simple terms, please explain how I can start the movie from the beginning when the preloader is done.
Also I had problems locating the URL to the swf. I kept getting "can't locate URL" when I inserted "bones.swf" for the URL request. I had to paste my files into the folder created in the tutorial for it to work. What is the difference between the folder I created and the one created in the tutorial that allowed AS to recognize the URL?
Here's my script:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("bones.swf"));

New to the forums, but was hoping I could get a quick hand.I have a preloader on frame 1 of my fla, and everything else comes in frame 2. When I use the simulate download setting when testing, once loading hits about 50%, the preloader disappears and the movie continues to frame 2. This causes a problem because flash then pauses and waits for the rest of the content.Could this be because I have movies nested in other movies? It usually pauses right at the point I have the menu mc tweening onto the stage. Is there a way to force the enitre movie to load at the beginning?

View 1 RepliesI want to make a preloader that begins my flash movie once it has 25% or 50% of the swf loaded. This is what I have on my first frame of my preloader right now:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
loadBar_mc._height = getPercent*179;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100);

My external .swf is playing before it's even finished loading from the COMPLETE event. W
I can understand it might work like streaming an mp3 or something... but it's not like anyone can see the first parts of the loading movie while the preloader does its thing. I also want this to be automatic... so I can avoid having the user click to enter or click to start after the preloader is complete. Lastly, the loading .swf has stop() on frame one...
Preloader Code:
Code: Select allintro_mc.mask_mc.scaleY = 0;
var childrensApp:Sprite= new Sprite();
var childrensAppLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I need button to appear after movieclip finishes. I was trying to insert code to the last frame of movieclip, _root.myscene.gotoandplay(140)...... and lots of different codes. But then I realised , that you cant control maintimeline from movieclip.
View 9 RepliesHow to jump to a frame (gotoAndPlay) on the ROOT (or any frame anywhere) right after a movie clip is done playing. This is AS3 on Flash CS4.
View 9 RepliesI know this is probably a easy change but i can't seem to figure it out.I want the code below to start playing at 25% and continue loading as it plays,
Frame 1 AS:
bytestotal = getBytesTotal();
ON A MOVIE CLIP:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.bytesloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();[code].....
What I'd like to know is that if I could set up a eventlistener to wait until the MovieClip has reached the final frame, then fire a function.
Solution:
In the last frame of the MovieClip timeline:Code: Select all dispatchEvent(new Event("EventName"));
In the main timeline/class:Code: Select allMovieClip.addEventListener("EventName", FunctionName);
I'm in need of a preloader, (or easy tutorial on how to create one), that will run a progress bar and also play a short welcome animation all the way through... regardless of connection speed. One that checks total frames of mc against total bytes loaded or something.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to remove a movieclip when the one inside of it finishes playing.
PHP Code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if (baddy.bad_die.currentFrame == baddy.bad_die.totalFrames){
removeMovieClip(baddy);
}
}
I've created an movieclip button that onRelease: moves to the highest depth and expands to the entire page and onRelease again: contracts to a thumbnail and moves to a lower depth.'ve got the animation working. However, I'd like the movieclip to finish playing the contracting to a thumbnail animation to the end before moving to a lower depth. Here's a concatenated version of the code://Variable that I set to know when the button was clicked first to expand.
_global.releaseOut;
mc1.onRelease = function()

I need to automatically unload a movieclip when the movie within the movieclip plays completely.
View 9 RepliesI 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 RepliesI have a movieclip that plays like a reel. Inside the movieclip I have 5 buttons When the user clicks the button it should take the person to new scene but it does not work.
I am using actionscript 2 code.
My scenes are called Scene 1,2,3,4,5 My movieclip has instance name buttonreel I have buttons with instance names bt1, bt2, bt3, bt4, bt5
So when I double click on the movieclip and the code I have written for bt1 is:

similar code for bt2 which should go to scene 2 but it does not work
Is there a way to disable buttons while a movieclip plays?Here's the logic in english:If you mouse_over buttonA and buttonB, fly_mc plays.If you mouse_over buttonC, flutter_mc plays.While fly_mc is playing, flutter_mc cannot play, and vice versa.

What code would I add to have a seperate movieclip play frame by frame based on where my slider is. Ex: My slider is on the far left, seperate movieclip is at end of its timeline. If I move the slider quickly back to the beginning the movieclip plays backwards quickly to its beginning and stops.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to run a function where after an amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then if the mouse moves another one plays. I have gotten my code to do this, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once. how do I do this?
here is my code,
standstill = 0;
lastmove = 0;
timeout = 3000; // 1000 ticks = 1 sec

I'm trying to run a function when after a specific amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then when the mouse becomes active again a different movieclip plays. I have gotten my code work for the most part, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once.

I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a 3 minute animation that is 53.7 MB right now. I periodically export the file to swf to see how it looks as I'm working on it.
It got the point where it was taking around 30 seconds to export which I'm used to when my animations get longer. However, now it constantly gets stuck at 90% and I get the rainbow wheel cursor. I waited 30 minutes thinking it needed to catch up with itself and nothing changed. I always end up having to force quit out of Flash because it's not responding.
I've tried numerous things to try and get it to export such as quitting and restarting Flash, doing a complete shutdown and starting Flash, and copy pasting all my frames into a new Flash file and saving. No matter what it always stops at 90% and no longer responds.
I have a character that uses the arrow keys to move. Key_Down sends him 10px left or right per press and when you let go he stops. easy as pie. What I've now added in is that when you press either of those keys it also plays a "walk" sound. In order to stop this walk sound I then added Key_Up and specified that the sound should stop via SndChannel.stop();
At first it was working fine, but there was the issue that if you held down a directional button the sound would spawn multiple times and sound like crap. I added in a boolean to disallow this, making it so that only one instance will play at a time and it will loop. The problem now is, however, that the initial SndChannel.stop(); under the Key_Up listener has stopped working. Instead of stopping the sound immediately on key up, it waits until the sound file has finished and simply stops it from repeating.
how do you use the gotoAndStop after a tween has run?
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I have a movie that starts as the intro to the site. However, if it doesn't load quick enough, the rest of the site loads and cuts off the movie. How can I make the 2nd part play only after the 1st is completely finished?
