I know that you just write nextFrame to advance the stage to the next frame BUT I am inside a nested mc - in AS2 you used to write _root so what would I use here. I tried Stage.nextFrame() - didn't work.
View 5 RepliesI have looked up the tutorials on tween class etc. but can't figure out if I can crossfade images using nextFrame. I have a dozen images placed in their own frames and a button using nextFrame (and prevFrame) to navigate between them. How would I crossfade these images smoothly?
View 2 RepliesI'm using this code to make a really simple button
on (press) {

But I keep getting this error: There is no method with the name 'nextFrame'.
I get the same error when using prevFrame also. What's wrong??
The preloader I created doesn't transistion to the next frame, it just hangs on the preloader frame at 0%.

i have a simple flash gallery with next and previous button, for the next button i add below actionscript: on (release,) { nextFrame; }
now my question is in order to make the transition look better, i like to add a fade in to next frame effect (and fade out previous)
I am really new to actionscript 3 and am having some trouble wrapping my brain around this. I have what basically amounts to a slideshow with navigation. I have a menu frame that has buttons, that when clicked, move down the timeline to a specific frame and stops. From there the navigation has 3 buttons..."menu" (goes ck to menu) and "previous" and "next" which have actions associated with it to go to next frame or previous frame. I have an actions layers that has the code in it and it works fine from the menu (attached is the menu actionscript) as long as I click on the item that is on the keyframe directly under the keyframe containing the actionscript. How can I get the frames that aren't directly under the actionscript frame to use the actions?

View 4 Repliesi am trying to create 2 buttons...a next frame and a previous frame...The next frame works fine...but i just cant figure out how to make my previous frameThe code is on the main timeline and its as followsQuote:
next_btn.onRelease = function()
{
nextFrame(); // will gotoAndStop on next frame in timeline
[code].....
soundchannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE , onSoundComplete);
function onSoundComplete(e:Event):void{
nextFrame();

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 {

Fk says my last login was 3/23/2006! So I'm rather rusty! All I wanted for now is to drag an image and update the view on release. So, I have two frames:
[Code]....
When I play, it starts and stops dragging nicely. But it will not advance the frame. If I try something else like getUrl, that works fine too. gotoandPlay does nothing as well, though. What am I missing? This is Flash MX2004, as2.
I am struggling with this bit of code in AS3,
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler141);
function mouseDownHandler141(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay.nextFrame();
}
It is coming up with this error:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method nextFrame through a reference with static type Function.
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].....
its my way of going around scripting lol. the reason i would like to know is coz the same movie clip will be used several times, but once a button inside this movie clip is clicked, i would like the playhead (on the root timeline) to move two frames forward.
Also, if im correct (if not, please tell me) nextFrame() goes to the next frame and stops? it deosn't play on? is there an equivalent that moves to the next frame and plays on?
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();
}
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

View 4 RepliesIn 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 made a game that has its levels divided in frames. When you reach the end of the level it will nextFrame(); to the next level. But it seems it dosenīt clean up, cuz i get errors like: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::levelEnd/update() It seems like the function is still running. Is there some kind of way for me to clean up everything each frame?

I'll first say that I'm a Flash designer but I'm not really technically inclined which may be why I still haven't figured out how to get around the Microsoft IE 'Activate' double click problem with Flash content.I have a completely Flash site that's designed with Flash MX. All of the fixes seem to be for Flash 8 or for Flash content embedded in an HTML page. I've tried posting questions on several of the Flash sites but no one seems to be getting my question.I publish all of my pages in Flash, then upload the resulting HTML and swf files to my site. I do not write any HTML at any time. I only write actionscript. Is there a purely actionscript solution to the activate problem? Or possibly an external .js fix that can be referenced with an #include "something.js" inside the flash source file?
