i want to obtain the current frame number of a movieclip....
var v = this.getCurrentFrame()
if (v = 1 ) {
trace ("hello")
}
doesnt work.... how shud i do it right?
I have tried this a dozen different ways and I really am at my wits end.
I have a presentation that works like a powerpoint. Everything is working as it should, except one part. I have a movie clip with an instance named slides, and I want to actively display which frame number you are in this move clip.
I have tried more than one why but I see no reason why this should not work:
var frameNum:Number = this.slides.currentFrame;
this.frameText.text = "P�quina " + frameNum + " de 173";
It appears to work at first, but does not update when I navigate the slides. It constantly says 1. Before I just added a function to the back and next buttons to frameNum++ and frameNum--, but after I created the Menu I would prefer it to automatically detect what frame it is on.
I feel like such an idiot but after trying endlessly I still haven't managed to come up with a way to display the current frame number of nested movie clip ("ecke1") (in a dynamically created text field).The problem really is that I don't know how to have flash keep updating the variable. Here's my latest attempt:
Code:
var frame:int = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,updateframe,false,0,true);
[code]....
What is the actionscript 3 syntax for retrieving the frame number that our object is currently in ?
View 2 RepliesI want to get the current frame and current scene because I want to be able to return to that same exact scene and frame when I click a button that goes to a different scene. When I click a button that says "Exit" I want to go back to the same spot as before.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip placed in the main timeline. Inside that movieclip, there is another movieclip.I need to know the current frame number of the inner movieclip when the animation is playing.And report that current frame number back to the actionscript in the main timeline.
View 2 RepliesI want to get the name of a function from inside that function. e.g.:
function blah() {
I want to get the string "blah" here, from the function's name
}
Or at least the Function object?
how can I get the current frame of a MovieClip.It's an animation that just loops over and over when its opened with ctrl+enter.On the stage its just one layer and one frame, but when it's double clicked, it has its own timeline with 20 frames.
Actionscript Code:
//what i had but it shows frame 1trace(myMovieClipInstance.currentFrame);
display the current frame when it changes. So something with a while loop. Like while the movie clip is playing, display the current frame.
Is there a way to get he current frame of a movie clip that is playing? For example I have myClip which is a MovieClip, and the code is myClip.stop(); Is there a way to know which frame myClip stopped on? Such as frame 5 or 10 or so?
View 1 RepliesI have a character that I want to animate. Now each part of his body is a separate movieclip. What I want is that, for example, if you imagine the shoe MovieClip, I want to give it three frames - from the front, from the side, and bent.
So when I animate the character MovieClip, I would like it if I could keyframe the currentframe of the shoe MoveiClip, if that makes any sense. It's easy enough to do in ActionScript, but the problem with that is the change isn't visible until I test the movie, and when animating it's useful to see exactly what the character looks like at each frame. Is there any way of setting the current frame of child MovieClips when animating?
I would like to know how i can get the width of a movieclip on its current frame. I am using scrollRect to hide certain sections of the movieclip and when i want to return it to its original size i need to get the dimensions the movieclip on each frame so i can return it to the default.
View 1 Repliesi want to check the current frame of movieclip that it play's after i press a btn!
my script look something like this:
Code:
sub_meniu.sub2.onPress = function () {
this._parent._parent._parent.Mcs.play ();
checkCurrentFrame ();
[Code]....
This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.
I have one button and when I click on it,firstly I want to run a movieclip and then i want the external swf to be loaded.
How can I achieve this? I want to check when the movieclip has finished in order to load the swf.
In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(10);
}
I've got a button that tells a movie clip to play its animation (goto and play frame 2), but I only want it to play that frame if the current frame is frame 1 - meaning that I don't want people to be able to keep clicking the button while the clip is playing and have the clip restart.
I'm guessing it would be something like:
If ( current frame is frame 1 ) { goto and play frame 2 }
But I can't seem to get it to work.
1. I need Import MovieClip from Library into Current Frame (Current Frame mean, if we on frame 1, the movieclip will show on frame 1)
2. Hmm... i guess if we make Browsers on Flash its IMPOSSIBLE lol...
3. Do you know Windows ?, if we click and hold the title bar it will dragging, and if we click and hold the inside of windows, it will NOT Dragging.
4. Load an EXTERNAL SWF.
5. Load an External MUSIC or SOUND.
6. Save Current Setting, like changing the username it will ask you want to save your current setting?, yeah like that. the game is shooting, kicking, punching. there's Enemies, Traps, and Fall into Fire or something he will die.. i need basic of it..
detect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.
I am struggling trying to get this variable set. I want to set a variable number to be the frame number of a movieclip. this is what i am trying with no luck:
var fn:Number = movie_name._currentframe();
trace(fn);
I have looked at different online examples but cant find an example like this one.
I have a movie clip that loads variables from an XML file. One of those variables is a number between 1 and 100. I have an movie clip file of a "speedometer" that has a needle. The needle is set with a motion tween between frame #1 and frame #100. The number in the XML file is, currently, set to "gotoAndStop" to the corresponding frame # in the speedometer movie clip. What I want to do is for the speedometer to "play" and THEN stop at the frame # that corresponds to what the XML is feeding it. All of this happens "on load". There is no "button" that activates it.
Here's the code I have for the parsing the XML into the speedometer. This is working. I just want it to "play" then "stop".
Code:
var SideGRAPH_01_01:XMLList=contentINPUT_01.StudentRptItemDetailDefinitions.StudentRptItemDetailDefinition.(@StudentRptItemDetailID=="5").(@Seq=="1").attribute("Value");
for each (var GRAPHElement_01_01:XML in SideGRAPH_01_01) {
MovieClip(root).page_01.dashboard.speedometer.gotoAndStop(GRAPHElement_01_01);
}
I'm making a custom collision class, and I need to know the registration point of the targets so I can use the bitmap.hitTest(); function, and not all of my movieclips have their registration point in the upper left side, so I'll have to do a little calculation according to the registration point of each movieClip, but I don't seem to know how to obtain the registration point with as3.

I need to trace the current level number that I am working on. So say I have 3 swf's loaded onto different levels (_level0, _level1, _level2, _level3), and each has a button, so when I press the button in level1, the number will trace 1, press button in level2, number will be 2, etc.

View 1 RepliesAt the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
The names of the dynamic text labels are:
"cFrame" and "tFrames"
