I'm trying to move my code from thetimeline to an .as file. I have been doing pretty well for a fewmonths jumping in and learning AS3 in a professional, need to getthis online and working type environment, but I have yet to workwith .as files. One thing I'm wondering is: I have 61 lines of code for oneapp and they do a few different things. Do I put these all in thesame package? If I don't, how do I tell my .fla to load more thanone class? The examples of .as files I have found have beenhelpful, but they are all very rudimentary.As you can see from my questions I'm kind of in the dark hereand Ohe yeah - my timeline coderesides in it's own "actions" layer.
View 3 RepliesI have a loaded swf file that is a short animated intro I am using he addChild method. I wold like it to simply move the timeline to a label "menu" after it has played. This is the cde on my main Timeline:
stop();import flash.display.*;import flash.events.Event;import flash.media.SoundMixer;
var Xpos:Number=0;

I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.

Is there a way to do this? I am just now hearing of (and experiencing) all the downfalls of using scenes to create an interactive website. I may have to start the whole thing over at the mid point if there isn't a way to convert it into one It will save a week's worth of work!
View 1 RepliesI apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for. I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it's single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.
View 3 RepliesHello, I want to have a scene with 10 or so frames animated using the timeline, followed by some user interaction where the objects get moved around with actionscript, followed by 10 or so more frames animated using the timeline. What I find is that as soon as I move any objects using actionscript, the timeline animation won't touch those objects anymore; they are frozen in place.
At the start, I do nextFrame() whenever the user clicks the mouse, to go through the first 10 frames. Then when the user reaches the 11th frame, I want to scroll around on that frame and allow the user to click on an object to make it disappear. (The only way I know how to do scrolling is to move all the objects on the stage by the same amount.) Then when the user is done, I want to call nextFrame() again and have the animation continue. But the animation stops working at that point. All the objects which I have modified with actionscript (all I did was change the .y coordinate) become "tainted" and won't move when I call nextFrame(). Doesn't matter if I change the coordinate values back to what they were when I'm done.
Is there a way around this, to allow the timeline animation to keep going, or should I just avoid mixing timeline animation with actionscript altogether?
I'm just learning the software and haven't been able to figure this out. I'm trying to create an historic timeline for our company and am using 20 jpg images, which I placed on separate layers and then converted each jpg to a symbol and motion tweened to go across the screen. The problem is that there is a gap between the frames when they play as a movie and I don't know how to get rid of that so that they flow continuously across the screen from left to right seamlessly.
View 5 RepliesWhat would be the best way to move onto the next frame (frame 2), when an animation has finished playing on the first frame in the main timeline, with no user input? The animation is on the first frame in the form of a nested movie clip.
View 2 RepliesIm trying to create a gallery application in flash. I created a movie clip and inside of it I create a loader variable. After loading it i want to put it on the stage but not using the same loader. What I am trying todo is to load the information, and the copy the loaded information to a different loader that lives on the main timeline (root) and then use the addChild to put it on stage but its got to be on the main timeline or a different movieclip, not the same movieclip that loaded the object.

coder dudes I need help on some actionscript 3. Im trying to move a piece of code from the timeline into the document class. Here is the timeline code:
import Memory.MemoryGame;
// Add memory game
var memoryGame:MemoryGame = new MemoryGame(this, "settings.xml");
Here is my attempt at moving it into the Document class:
[Code]...
onClipEvent (load) {
MinX = 0;
MaxX = 200;
this._x=100;
FRAME = _root.p1;
}
[Code]...
p1 is the instance of the movie which I am trying to move with slider. When I apply above code on the handle of the slider with instance name 'handle' everything works perfect. Slider moves and so do the movie. Now instead when I bring the same code to the main timeline to do the same, onClipEvent does not work, it gives error. So I replaced it with the code written below. Now I can move the handle but movie is not moving.

View 10 RepliesI have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.
View 3 RepliesI am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.

I have a container SWF that loads other SWF's onto the stage using the load() method. I also am trying to access the MainTimeline of these SWF's using Event.INIT and a function and then telling that function that if the MovieClip, "clip", which is the loaded SWF is at currentFrame>=2 then do something.I can't get any response (not even trace responses)unless I specify "if(clip.currentFrame==1)". How can I get the container SWF to see past the first frame of the loaded Movie Clip? I suspect that I should be using ENTER_FRAME instead of INIT, but if I do that the Movie Clip appears and suddenly disappears without staying on the stage.

Below is a common block of code to load an external swf (simplified for this example). My problem lies in the function at the end where I'd like it gotoAndPlay('playthis') within the swf that just loaded. I get errors like cant reference static type loader etc.
Code:
var graphicLocal:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(graphicLocal);
graphicLocal.x = 0;
graphicLocal.y = 60;
var graphicLoader:Loader = new Loader();

At this point the external swf has successfully loaded and now I want to tell it to go to and play a specific frame. I've tried variations of
graphicLocal.gotoAndPlay('playthisframe')
but cant get it right. Keep getting a
"cant reference static type loader" error.
