ActionScript 3.0 :: Put Movieclips, On 2 Or 3 Frames On Timeline?

Dec 23, 2011

I have a bunch of movieclips in my library. Each one contains it's own class and functions etc.I put each of these movieclips on diffrent frames in my timeline.My question was, if I am going to put these movieclips, on 2 or 3 frames on my timeline what will be the impact on speed of application (in mobile afcourse).For example MovieClip2 will be put on frames 2,3 and 6.It has 300 lines of code. Is the impact noticable ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing MovieClips Placed Directly In Timeline Frames?

May 9, 2011

I was programming games in AS2 in a way where movieclips could themselves remove, for example, when they collide with main character. If the objects where created in realtime with attachmovie then removeMovieClip, but if they where objects that where already existing because placed in the timeline, unloadmovie () was working. I know in AS3 I can delete them from the parent who created them but, most of my movieclips are thrown into a frame in the main clip editor. I mean, I use the timeline frames as level editor where I design my levels and I place the objects directly there and not create them by code. How can I remove them??

Scenes - Organize The Timeline And Not Take Up As Many Frames Per Timeline

Dec 5, 2009

how many of you use scenes to get your projects done. I've been switching to a different scene for every new angle (I'm making a flash movie, drawing somewhat 3D perspective, and storyboarding it out like a movie.) I find it makes it easier to organize the timeline, and not take up as many frames per timeline. Are there any downfalls to this method? Because I'm early on in the production, and if there's going to be any problems down the road I'd like to know before I get too involved.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Why Do Movieclips Inside Movieclips Have Different _x And _y Than The Timeline

Oct 30, 2007

why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)

I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Movieclips On Different Frames?

Dec 3, 2009

i have a gallery on my root timeline. The gallery is called work_mc. Inside of work_mc I have various buttons. There is a different section on different frames.For example,ALL is on frame one, PRINT is on frame two, motion is on frame three.In the root here is the

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Frames To Movieclips

Oct 17, 2010

I need to set movie clips at specific frames from an existing array. For example, if I have the array [4,7,3] and three movie clips, I want the first clip to be at frame 4, the second at frame 7, and the third at frame 3. Except I have 100 of these, not just three.

Here's the code I'm using to test it out on a single movie clip. It isn't throwing up any error messages, but it isn't working, either, and the movie clip remains stubbornly set on the first frame. 'Randomorderlist' is the array, which is working perfectly. The trace is also working correctly and displaying the number of the frame I want for the movie clip.

function assignframe():void {
boxsymbol(gotoAndStop(randomorderlist[0]));
trace(randomorderlist[0]);
}
assignframe();

I think I might know why it isn't working, but I'm not sure. 'boxsymbol' is the class name rather than the instance name. I first tried the instance name, but it came up with a 1180 error and stuffed up the whole SWF badly. This was the only way I could fix it. Also, Flash wouldn't let me use the same name for the class and the instance. It forced me to use classes, even though I don't really want to.

GotoAndPlay And Then Skip Frames In Timeline?

Jul 25, 2009

I am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.

The following is a scenario, but not script:
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20:
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22.
I am currently doing this in a different way.

Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So...
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.

Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access To Different Timeline Frames?

Oct 21, 2010

I am having some trouble using Action script to access Instances on a timeline. Lets say that I have a MovieClip in my library that has three frames (frame number 1, 2 and 3) and each frame has sprite with the instance name IMAGE (each sprite is an instance of a different library object.) The MovieClip has the linkage name ThreeFrameClip. I can create an instance of this MovieClip like this:

Var MyClip:MovieClip = new ThreeFrameClip();

I now want to make all of the sprites invisible. How do I do this? Is there a way to access each frame using an array like this:

MyClip.frame[1].IMAGE.visible = false;
MyClip.frame[2].IMAGE.visible = false;
MyClip.frame[3].IMAGE.visible = false;

[Code].....

This kind of frame access had been a big problem for me in many different projects. I really do not like the second method.

IDE :: Flash CS4 Or CS5 / Spreading Frames Out In Timeline?

Aug 10, 2010

I have imported a few animated GIF's in flash. Each has a whole lot of frames. I am running the FPS at 35, and it obviously means that the GIF frames will speed up/slow down depending on how fast the FPS is. That is great, but is there a nice little trick to spread the frames out, without having to edit the MC and highlight a bunch of frames, and spread them out? I also attached a screenshot of me highlighting all the frames, preparing to move them over by one to spread out the frames. The first few frames are spread out already as you can see

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClips Display From Previous Frames?

Aug 10, 2009

I added some movieclips from the library via the addChild method. The actionscript is in frame 1. I have a button which takes me too frame 2. When I click that it takes me to frame 2 but it also leaves every single MovieClip on the stage from frame 1. This is terrible annoying. As I want it to only display the movieclips on frame 2 not the movieclips from frame 1.

Code:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

[Code].....

There is an actual frame 2 keyframe so don't think I didn't leave that out. Adding the line removeChild(playButton); just gives me a compiler error about calling.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader To Play MovieClips Frames?

Feb 28, 2003

I've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.

Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}

This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Flash Timeline Skipping Frames?

Mar 9, 2009

Basically the problem is that the flash player skips my frames for some reason!Problem: calling gotoAndPlay("label"), and once flash gets to that label, it does play, but it does not reach the trace action at the end of the timeline, although it reaches the end of the timeline and loops to the beginning as far as the visible artwork is concerned. There is no stop actions involved in between the gotoAndPlay and the trace action.If I reproduce this in a simpler environment I do not get the error. In the file I am using a few of my own simple external classes, and the as2 EventDispatcher, and caurina Tweener.

Play A Certain Number Of Frames Then Stop-from Anywhere On The Timeline

Jun 10, 2009

Okay, so I've got a happy little movie that shows an atom diagram. Every seven frames shows an electron popping up in the ring around the nucleus. This is all contained in a movie clip. I want a button that when pressed, tells the movie clip with the atom to advance the seven frames ( making an electron pop up ) and then stop. The same button if pressed again, will advance the movie clip an additional seven frames ( thus adding another electron ).

I've looked around quite a bit but haven't found a solution that will work for me. Also, I am working in AS2. (if you're feeling especially helpful, do you also know how to do the same but in reverse? I've found how to play movie clips in reverse, but not for a certain frame interval.)

I don't know what is happening.... I can't even find a reset tools button that might just reset all the window panels to their original settings.
