I have an animation where I want to play a movie clip and then play another movie clip from the library (selecting randomly from a group of movie clips). I couldn't figure out how to get this to work, so I tried to play the first clip, and when it gets to its last frame jump to a random clip which is already on the time line. The AS is attached.
Clearly I'm missing something critical here.
how to accomplish my current task. I have an .fla with 32 frames in it, an open frame, a close frame, and a bank of 30 frames in between. I want to set up some AS so that once the user clicks a "Next" button on the first frame, it randomly jumps to another one of the frames within the bank of 30. Then, when they get to that frame and view the contents, and click next, they'll randomly jump to another one of the remaining frames. This will only happen for 20 frames, after the 20th viewed frame, I want the "Next" button to take them to the final slide in the series. The purpose being so that each time a user views the program, it's never the same (well not likely ever the same) - so they'll all see 20 different frames in a different order.
I'm guessing I could do this with arrays, and the math.random method, some if/else statements.
I trying to randomly jump to a frame in a sequnce of pictures on the timeline. Neither of the parts work below - the first "if/then" statements or the commented out switch code. Very frustrated with Flash CS5. Do I really need to learn AS3 to use CS5? I'm having other issues with code I've used in CS3 Flash not working in CS5. If I'm setting the publish settings to AS 2 and Flash Player 8 it should work, right? [code]...

View 1 Replieswhat the script to jump to another Scene, randomly... im using AS2
View 9 RepliesI'm interested in understanding the ActionScript 2 code that will allow a random decision on the next marker to jump to. I have five markers on a time line and want the movie to stop after playing a sequence of elements, then randomly choose the next marker to jump to and play, this would continue forever.The goal is to communicate a few concepts without starting from the same concept every time in a linear manner.
View 6 RepliesI have a movie with various movie clips on certain frames. What I want is the playhead to randomly jump to different frames I specify within the movie after each Movie clip has played. So at the end of each movie clip there would be a random script forcing the playhead to play another movie clip randomly. My movie has 100 frames but I only want the random sequence to occur on the following frames 10, 13, 25, 86, 75, 56. Or If I labelled the frames how would I label them?? Would they all have to have the same label, or each label different?
View 2 RepliesI need to create a script that will jump to a certain frame in the scene when a movie cilp reaches its last frame. Putting a goto... within the MC itself doesn't work. I assume that I need to create a listener of some sort....I haven't been able to find what I need in any documentation (and I'm even been looking through AS dictionaries going back to Flash 4).
View 1 RepliesI built a button in one of the movie clips in my project,
when I release this button, it goes to the 41st frame of the main timeline and continue to play until the frame 70 which has got a stop; command. till here everything's just OK. But I want this button to do something more though I don't know whether it's possible or not.
I want this button to go and play the frame number 41 in the main timeline, and then after it stopped at the frame 70 , then jump to frame 73.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a movie, that when a correct word is entered, it goes to a specified frame. The code below words fine but I need to make an addition to it,

but was wondering if there is an easier way, something along the lines of�

i have a clock, and a background the background contains an animated ocean (100 frames) there are four sky themes which change on the appropriate hour to night-time, morning, sunset, sunrise (could just use alpha to show another here although maybe processor intensive)
ok so the ocean could animate on its own and only the sky would need to change, that would be the easy part
but when it gets to night-time the ocean needs to jump to the night-time version of itself so if the user presses the hour button, and the ocean is on daytime at frame 80, how would i say play night version at frame 81 so that the ocean doesnt skip animation??
Today I found that flash had no option to jump to unassigned frames.
Say, I am working on frames numbered from 1 to 250. Now I need to jump to frame number 15000 and I found that I cannot jump to the frame number 15000 directly. I have to click in the Timelline and move the scroller right to its full extent, again click in the last frame visible in the time line and so on continue this until I reached the frame 15000.
Is there any easy way to jump to frame 15000 ??

I work with flash 2.0 in CS3 When I click a button I want to load an swf in a higher level of a "main" swf and jump to a certain frame of the "main" swf. Is that possible? In a nutshell, I want to bring in an swf in a higher level that play a fade to white animation, which then hits a stop motion on a blank frame at the end, then the timeline of the main swf should go to a frame where a transition fades white to a new section of the flash website. Or the timeline could jump right away. Either way I need a goToAndPlay action to work with a loadMovie action simultaneously on a button click. For some reason these two actions seem to cancel each other out.

Been searching more then 10 hours all over the internet. With No Result. Either im a retard or the solution is so simple nobody cares to post it.
I know there's been a million "how do I load a movie and than jump to a specific frame" thead. Well all of those have been helpful :: HOWEVER I wouldn't be posting because I can't seem to get my script to run successfully First the background I have a nav. menu made up of seprate movies clips :: inside each movie clip is four buttons :: these buttons are shown using a rollOver, rollOut dealy
anyway when you click on one of the buttons it calls "student.swf" to load into an empty MC called content.I've tried everything :: What happens is the button will load the MC but will sit on the first frame and do nothing :: the movie clip "student.swf" is not that big so I doubt I'm waiting for it to load.

I am using actionscript 2 and I am trying to get my FLV to jump another frame in my flash movie after it's finished playing. I am using the FLV component that comes in flash to play the FLV and i've embedded an event cue point in the FLV but I am not sure what I am now supposed to do!
View 9 RepliesI am making a small website out of flash and I have a photo gallery in a separate scene. I have five photo galleries and so I have five buttons that will lead to those five galleries.
The code of one of the five buttons is
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Content_Photography");
}
Works great, but the first 10 frames of this new scene "Content_Photography" is an intro and then I would like that it would jump to the corresponding gallery that these galleries will be laid out on the timeline.
What would i put after _root.gotoAndPlay("Content_Photography");?
I have been researching this for hours and cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. Right now I am linking one flash file or .swf file within my main flash site using a button.So in my main flash site, I connect to this .swf file by using...
on(release){
loadMovie ("MDsite2.swf", _level0);
}
This works perfect but the .swf file starts at the first frame. Is it possible to a jump to specific frame within that .swf file so it doesn't start on the first frame?
