I am having trouble with looping my flash that contains multiple movie clips. Each movie clip is on it's own layer and within the movie clips, the last frame I use this code to go and play the next movie in the parent: MovieClip(parent).nextFrame();My problem is that when the last movie clip of the sequence plays,I want to restart the entire thing and play the first movie clip again (a continuous loop).
View 3 RepliesI Have 3 Movies:MAIN.SWF, contains loading movie actions for Nav.swf and Home.swf.NAV.SWF, contains navagation menu loaded on Level 2 in Main HOME.SWF, contains slideshow for home page loaded on Level 1 in Main In NAV.SWF, there is a MOVIE CLIP "graphmc", which contains a BUTTON "graphicbtn", When this button is clicked, I'd like the HOME.SWF (which is loaded into Main.swf on Level 1) to fade out and unload, and load and fade in Graphics.SWF in place of it.
View 6 RepliesI have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.
View 2 RepliesI'm having some trouble following this (link) tutorial. I'm new to flash, so please bear with me.
In step 1 of this tutorial, we have created multiple movie clips and then a single big movie clip(including all the movie clips).
In step 4, I'm not able to access the properties of the clips we created earlier by using the following code, like in the tutorial.

I have my flash website set up with the following structure:
Scene 1:
- Menu buttons located in Scene 1 -> navigation_mc
- Page 1 (Company page) located in Scene 1 -> companypage_mc
- Page 2 (Portfolio) located in Scene 1 -> portfoliopage_mc
- etc... a total of 4 pages.
As you can see, I have each function of the website in its own layer and movie clip, so my question is how do I access a movie clip outside of the current movie clip?
I want my company_btn (company button) in navigation_mc to navigate back outside to scene 1 and proceed to play the contents of companypage_mc. companypage_mc is visible = false, and I would like to make its visibility true and start its tweens from frame 1.
Inside navigation_mc:
company_btn -> On Click, go to scene 1 and play frame 1 of companypage_mc, making visibility = true.
1) i have all my actions in its own layer on the main timeline, so all is well there
2) i have a movie clip with a rollOver and rollOut events attached to it
3) inside the movie clip when the rollover happens and the movieclip stops at a certain frame, i have another movieclip that appears. the movie clip is a link to a website, it works properly on the main timeline but without the proper actionscript it of course will not work inside its parent movie clip
I'm trying to generate multiple stars in the stage, but I keep getting an action script error.
stop();
var i;
var arrayStars:Array;
for(i=0; i<70; i++) {

On my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content,menu. (because of the design, i can't have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!i have no where to start.
View 1 RepliesI have this code to use to pause animations in different areas of a .fla, for each pause I have been copying this and changing the "var timelinePause" and other items as shown after the original code, is repeating this code for each pause just junk code? is there something else from this that I can use to pause?

I am wondering how to correctly reference child/parent movie clips when creating event handlers? I have a button within a movie clip, which is within a movie clip.This is what my handler looks like right now:
this.DropMenus.DMSeats.ButtonSeats.addEventListener("click",SeatsOver) ;
The button instance name is ButtonSeats Problem is, I get this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Also, if I were to move the vent listener directly into the movie clip where the button is located, how could I reference the parent/ parent timeline(the main timeline)? Am I correct to understand that .this refers only to the current clip?
So I have a code, shown below:
[Code]...
and I want to add multiple buttons, not just this one. I figured out by trial and error that I couldn't just consecutively list the instances, I also found I couldn't just replicate the code and change the instance names. I just need to know how to go about having multiple buttons/clips.
how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!
View 4 RepliesI was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;
[Code]....
Is there a better way hiding mutiple mc's than this?
button1.onPress = function(){
first_mc._visible = false;
second_mc._visible = false;
third_mc._visible = false;
}
What I think I want to do is make an array of the movie clips and apply the function to that array?
I have 6 movies that i need controling. These are named hex1, hex2, hex3 etc. When the file opens i have some action script that needs to run something like this:
while (i<7) {
hex[i].gotoAndStop(1);
i=i+1;

I'm working on a project where in I've found it necessary to mask a background object with MULTIPLE Sprites. I've tried doing this two ways: making one "parent" sprite to which all of the other masks are childed; adding them as individual masks.
The composite strategy just sort of gave up, Flash doesn't seem to like having to search through it's render tree to do these things and the result was no visible mask or masking (just the full background image). The latter strategy failed for obvious reasons: saying Sprite.mask = so-and-so implies that setting it again will overwrite the last mask.
Is there any way to use the composite strategy? Or is there a way I can copy over all of my sprites and draw them directly into one new sprite on every frame?
I'm building a website where i have 9 thumbnails on the maintime lineWhat i want to achieve is to press on the thumbnail whichwill redirect to a movie clip each time fairly big in size and have apreloader for each thumb. Load the content before it enters thefirst frame of each movie clip since the content is fairly big insize.(3d animation)
View 2 Replieshow to load multiple movie clips on the stage? My ActionScript 3 are as below:
I declared a movie clip - "mcPhotoFrame" (i.e. an instance of "mcPhoto" movie clip) and would like to load all the pictures on the stage but after finished loading, only the last photo shows on the stage.
Is it possible to have multiple movie clips inside one variable? I want to be able to just use var._totalframes instead of mc1._totalframes, mc2._totalframes, etc... Or is there another way I can avoid copying and pasting dozens of movie clips over and over
View 1 RepliesI've created this simple birthday game where the concept is to blowout 30 candles in 15 seconds. The candles are movieclips so that when they are clicked on, they blowout. However, when the option to "try again" begins, the candles are still out.
So, how do you reset multiple movieclips?
I'm making a simple drag-and-drop style dress up game, and I want to know if it's possible to combine multiple movie clips on different layers so that they can be gragged as a single object in the game, but retain their seperate layers. For example, if I make a hat and I want the front part of the hat to be on a layer above the doll base's head, and the back of the hat to be on a layer behind it, but the hat has to move as a whole when dragged.
View 2 RepliesI am loading multiple movie clips into a scrollpaneContainer mc and setting the source of my scrollpane to be the scrollpaneContainer.
Problem is the height of the scrollpaneContainer is larger than 2880 pixels (mc height limit).
I can split the movieclips into two scrollpaneContainer clips but I am unsure how to set the source of the scrollpane to be two different movie clips at the same time.
How can we print only few movie clips out of 100s at the same frame and How can we change the page orientation for printing..

how to target multiple movie clips at once so that if my tank bumps into a specific set of movie clips, it will change my move var to false without having to put a hittest on each individual movie clip and without having to list out all their names? I don't want to list fifty different instance names for all the hittests.
