View 1 RepliesIm using Flash MX (the pre-02004 version) to design a photo portfolio that will be distributed on CDs to potential clients.Its broken up into subject galleries, each of which is its own movie clip.The pages of those gallery movie clips are all separate movie clips, too, regardless of whether they contain single images or layouts of images. Frame labels with stop codes separate each gallery_mc.
Within each gallery, previous and next buttons allow page-to-page navigation.From the last page of gallery_A_mc (e.g.), I can to go to the first page of gallery_B_mc by using the following ActionScript:
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop("gallery_B_FrameLabel");
}[code]....
Id think that this should make it go to frame 5 of gallery_B_mc,which is on the gallery_B_ FrameLabel, but it doesn't make it go anywhere.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop("gallery_B_mc", 5);
}
Also doesnt make it go anywhere.
I have put 2 days into this simple problem now and I'm ready to give up and go back to AS2.I'm using CS4; publish settings AS3, 10.0. I have a button on frame 2 that should take me to frame 3 when clicked.(So far I've tried a hundred different ways but I don't get to frame 3...)Different things I tried...
> Creating the button dynamically from the library...
> Inserting it statically from the library on frame 2...
> referencing the mainTimeline through a variable...
> wrapping the gotoAndStop action in another function...(if placed directly on the timeLine the movie correctly goes straight to frame 3)
> naming frame 3...
> using 'nextFrame' instead of 'gotoAndStop'...etc..
In most cases I don't get an error in the output panel and no compiler error either; it just doesn't work!!!(Just stays on the same frame after I click the button)Here's the code I think should work; but doesn't.
I use scrollbar at the bottom of the timeline to go to different frames. This is slow if I have thousands of frames. I wonder if there is a similar interface like the Actions window for labels on timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts at left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be nice if you can see all your labels in a menu and click to go there directly (I believe Director has that). Maybe I can put some dummy script in different label and then I can use Action window to travel to there.

I'm new to flash but have managed to design an intro page for my dreamweaver site. When the intro finishes I want to automatically load the home page of my site but have no idea of the actionscript for this? The flash intro is placed into the index page of my dreamweaver site, I need it to open in the same window when it reaches frame 530.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash movie with a kind of intro to enter the website. I need a script to navigate to a new url when the animation reach the frame 500. I don't have any buttons. I am saying that cause I already know how to make it work with a button but not with a frame number. What do I need to change in the script? Here's a button script I have;
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,a);
function a(e:Event){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.website.com");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}
So what should I change to make it work when it entered the frame 500 instead of when a button is clicked?

I am creating a website using the slide presentation template. However, when I navigate to a page I have already viewed, it only shows the last frame of the slide rather than starting from frame 1 of the slide. Is there I way I can tell button to go to a slide and play from frame 1 regarless of how many times the slide has been viewed?
View 6 RepliesI've got a project I'm working on that has two frames in the main timeline and on the second frame there is a movieclip (pages_mc) with 7 frames to it, each containing content (more movieclips, text, graphics, etc). I set it up this way because I have a title bar and navigation buttons on the main timeline I want to always stay on top of everything.If I have actionscript on an individual frame of pages_mc, that controls buttons on that frame, do I need to remove the MouseEvent listeners if the user navigates to a different frame? I've read that if you don't remove them it will eat up memory and cause poor performance.
I already ran into a problem with the ENTER_FRAME event listener, in which I was forced to remove it because it would just keep going even when the user navigated to a different frame of the pages_mc movieclip.Just didn't know how much of a problem this would be. I'm thinking that if I don't remove them, every time the user goes back to that frame it's just adding another MouseEvent listener to the buttons. Is that correct?
how to navigate to one frame or another depending on whether there is a correct or incorrect answer for the learning interaction. I am using the CS3 drag and drop.
View 2 RepliesA friend of mine wants to have some navigation-based mc links in frame 1, then nav to a certain frame, and then have a "back" button. When the nav mc links are clicked, the timeline skips to a given frame label.
Pretty simple.
Most of the links have the same nav mc in them, so when I nav to them, I can also access any of the other frames via something like:
linkg.Contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Contact_btn_clicked);
function Contact_btn_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("ContactPage");
}
The code above is in the first frame, and it is on it's own layer which spans the entirety of the frames in the project, so I would think that these function definitions would persist. But, when I go to a specific link, which does not have the nav mc in it, and then hit that particular frame's "back" button, all of my function definitions are gone, even though the nav mc links are now present, and as I mentioned the listeners should be active.
I am trying to make a multimedia player where has different pages:
- about us
- our videos
- contact us
now on the "our videos" page there are 12 thumbnails (reading from an xml file) and by clicking on them the video player shows the proper video. Till now I have been able to set it up. But when someone wants to go back to the about us, contact us ext. the player and the thumbnails still remain.How can I close them when page navigates away from that specific frame (lets say for example all of this is done on frame 150)?I would like the thumbnails and player to close when we navigate away from that frame.[code]
at the moment i have tried using booleans but this is making my code have many errors so i was wondering if there was another easier way?
View 1 Repliesso, i am using external swf's to navagate instead of scenes, and so far it's working great, but i have an issue. for some reason, when i click on some other page to load, there is a quick flash of another page that shows right before the other page loads. i'm not sure why it does this, and can't figure out a way to fix it. here's a sample of what i have done so far: [URL] if you click on the buttons home, who we are, and print you'll see what i am saying.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash page where I am loading another .swf into. With a button in the loaded swf I need to unload the loaded swf (where the button is) and navigate to a specific frame label in the parent .swf. I've tried to do the following in the key frame where the swf get loaded into I've put the following:
var gallery_load_wonderland:Loader = new Loader();
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, loop_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, done_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.load(new URLRequest("gallery_wonderland.swf"));
function loop_wonderland(e:ProgressEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I basically want to first load the swf called "gallery_wonderland.swf". Then in the "gallery_wonderland.swf" there's a button called "contact03_btn" which I want to unload "gallery_wonderland.swf" even though it's inside the swf and navigate to the frame label called "Contact" in the parent swf.
What can I do I've done similar before and it works, but when I do it know and I click the contact03_btn it comes with following error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@26215ba1 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at gallery_wonderland_fla::MainTimeline/back_wonderland()[gallery_wonder land_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:227]
I've been working on this project, and I've been using external swf's to navigate thru my project. I started working on it, and everything was good, but I noticed that when I was navigating around the project, it was starting to get really slow with the animations.
The way that I had it set up was this:
I had a file called "home.swf" that held a movie clip called "container", and then i would load everything thru that.
Then I put that same "container" movie clip on my other swf's, and scripted it out so that other swf's could load thru the "container" MC on those pages.
That is what I was doing, and I was thinking that was good, but it's making my animations run slow. I was scripting everything out like this for the navigation on the buttons:
on (press) {
container.unloadMovie("promotions.swf");
} on (release) {
container.loadMovie("apparel.swf");
}
My question is do I need to not have the "contianer" MC on each one of my swf pages? Here what I have done so far: [URL]. Not all of the pages work just yet (I'm still working on it), but if you click thru the pages "print", "apparel", "promotions", all the ones that are on the top of the white center area, you can see what I'm talking about.
I have a long timeline with a series of slides arranged along it with a labeled frame at the beginning of each slide.These slides do not have any standardized length so instead of counting out frames and jumping a set number I am trying to navigate with my previous and next buttons to frame labels stored in an array.
This works GREAT!Or rather...it works great if you're rapidly hitting the Next and Previous buttons to step through the area.The problem comes when you sit and try to watch the whole thing play out and then try to use the next button.If you have passed framelabel2 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2.If you have passed framelabel3 and hit the next button it returns you to framelabel2. Clearly the problem is that it does not know it has gone past framelabel1 and is thus gotoandplay-ing the next frame in the array...which is 2.I need to make it check its current position in the array before adding 1 and advancing the playhead.
var fLabels:Array = new Array("start1", "start2", "start3", "start4", "start5", "start6", "start7");
var cLabel:Number = 1;
function nextPlayClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I was working through your XML Carousel AS2 tutorial, and I was wondering how you use Actionscript to get a URL and navigate to an external website when you click on an icon? Or anything really, it would be a useful thing to do for a button or whatever.

View 4 RepliesI have an application swf that loads a big external swf with all GUI components/assets (skin) in it.I want to display a progress bar during loading of the external asset swf file but the images for the progress bar are also included in the external swf file.Is it possible to load only a portion of the external swf before loading the rest. The idea is to load the progress bar images from the external swf, then construct the progress bar and than load the rest of the swf. I was thinking to put it on different frames. Frame 1 containing the progress bar graphics and frame 2 the rest of the assets.
View 3 RepliesI've got two buttons and when I press one I want it to goto and stop on next frame of a loaded swf. there's different swfs loaded so I can't specificate the name of it.I've tried:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("arrow.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
this loads the arrow buttons fine, but i can't get the goto and play next frame on the external swf loaded to work. ive tried:
Code:
var swfTimeline:MovieClip = myloader.content as MovieClip;
swfTimeline.nextFrame();[code].............
i have a main swf and on the 1st frame, aside from the preloader script....etc...i have a loadMovieNum action on there....it loads an external swf with music in it.now i want it so that when the playhead passes through another frame(frame 10) i need it to go to frame 2 of the external swf which has the music in it. ive tried EVERYTHING i could think of but it doesnt work. i KNOW its simple but i dunno..... i mean it works far as loading in the ext.swf from the AS on frame one but not the AS on frame 10 that tells it to go and play ext.swfs frame 2.
View 2 RepliesI made a flash website and had one page load an external swf.
In this external .swf are thumbnails that link to another page (frame) all within the external swf. when you go to these pages there is a 'back' link which links back to the main external swf frame.
My problem is this: let's say i click a thumbnail in the external swf and it goes to the respective thumbnail page, and then i dont click the 'back' button but instead click another link of the main flash website - then i go back to the page that loads the external swf and instead of going to the main frame of the external swf it stays at the page i was previously on.
How do I get the link on the main flash website which loads the external .swf to always load on the first frame of the external swf?[code]...
I have an empty swf (container) where my external swfs get loaded and unloaded. I have two swfs - Activity 1 and Activity 2 (each contain an activity to complete on several frames).
The user is able to click back from activity 2 to activity 1, but they get to the beginning of the activity instead of where they were last (last frame on swf). I would like to be able to click the back button and go the last frame on the swf being loaded.
So, how do I load an external swf and then go to the last frame in it? But I don't want this to happen everytime I go to activity 1. Only when you click the back button from activity 2.
I've got a .fla with different buttons. when I klick them different loaders loads ext swfs.
Code:
var myloader4:Loader;
this.revista.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie4Click);
function movie4Click(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("white");
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("rec.swf");
myloader4 = new Loader();
myloader4.load(myrequest);
stage.addChild(myloader4);
Underneath the loaders on the label "white" I have to buttons, next and prev. I want to, when I press them, to go to the next frame of the loaded swf. I've got 6 diff ones. (myloader1-myloader6).
