ActionScript 3.0 :: Repeat Main Timeline 3 Times, More?
Aug 20, 2010
I'm stumped on getting my coding movie consisting only of tweens to just play 3 times and stop on last frame. I'd also like it to delay and stay on last frame about 10 seconds and/or delay before playing the first frame about 2 seconds. that stuff i do now with timer events- I set both for the interval (100000 and 2000) and repeat is set to one for each, with a timer on the last and first frames. (not sure if that's the best way to do that)
I have a boxer class that I would like to be able to dispatch a custom event out of at different times so the main timeline can pick it up and do something. It is at the end of different things. ie. movieclip finished playing. So far when I try to dispatchEvent it says I can't with error 1061.
I need to make the whole ad repeat X number of times and then stop on the last frame (it always stops in the first frame for me) then I need to link the clickable button to go to a website when clicked. [URL]
I wrote this with the idea that it would stop my header from replaying a million times for repeat visitors. However it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I need a little direction, has anyone else done something similar to this? Also Isn't there a way to have it expire? like in a week or something?
Code: user = SharedObject.getLocal("user_profile"); if (user.data.name == undefined){
Note the red code, I need to repeat this an unknown amount yet multiple times but with the number on the end of enemy incremented by 1 each time. It starts with 0 as you can see the code just above the red. I heard about for loops using 'i' but im unsure about how to use it.
edit: ah, this forum isnt letting me highlight red. Everything in this editor is also failing. well, when I say code in red i mean this code:
I have a .fla file and as3 classes.The code in my .fla code repeats in timeline and what I want to do is stop it repeating.I have a game loop and listener for jkey events and objects I declare which i only want to do once without a repeating timeline.
I'm trying to learn how to do more AS than tweens, so I have this script on my MC on frame one Code: onClipEvent(enterFrame) { speed = 17; this._x -= speed; } I have a MC moving across the stage, I tried stopping it with a delete onenterFrame but it will jump and not stop...how do I fix that. My second question is, after I get it to stop, how do I continue the timeline and not repeat frame one. I tried searching for it but nothing explains how to continue to another frame.
Is there a fucntion what will play a timeline two times and after it stops ?from frame 1 to 15 i want it to play two times and stop after. I dont want to duplicate timeline
I cannot seem to find anything of what I need from google.(Well, I can find the reverse method to what i need ) Basically I wish to access a variable declared in the Root Timeline from my Movie clips timeline.
I simply want to assign a variable to the current frame of the main timeline (not movieclip timeline) I already know about _currentframe and it doesn't help in this case.
I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.
I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick); function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(2); }
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.
I'm having some problem with the workflow of flash.I make web banners everyday att my work att it is important to me to have the banners easy structured so I can copy effects, tweens and symbols to a new banner. I have Flash CS3 pro.I always start by making a symbols. And then in the symbols own timeline I make the animation or effect.
The big problem I'm having is when I have the main (scene1) timeline with many frames, and then have symbols on that timeline, with it's own timeline with some frames. The frames in the symbol timeline is okey, but at the main timeline the frames is too short or too long so the animation of the symbol cuts of early or it plays more than one time (too many frames).
How do I calculate how long a symbols timeline should be so It maches the main timeline?What happens to me is that I always have to adjust the symbols timeline and the main timeline, and this I have to do many times.
I have a main.fla which has 3 movieclips inside it. All 3 mc's have timelines that run 40 frames. The main.fla timeline has each mc instance on a frame. mc_1 is on frame 1 mc_2 is on frame 40 mc_3 is on frame 81 as the main timeline plays the clips each one fades to the other. I need to know how to target this scenerio after mc_3 plays I need to have a goToAndplay (20) set up so the animation inside mc_1 starts playing (frame 20) of mc_1.
I have a magic cloud effect. On frame 30 of the nested effect I would like an mc on the main timeline to become visible.Not too sure how to code with frame numbers,a) Do I put AS on the timeline of the nested clip ORb) Write code on the main timeline to listen for when the nested mc gets to frame 30
I have a movieclip on the scene. I also have a button on the scene and when I press the button I want to send a variable-value to the movieclip. I have a variable set in the actual frame on the main-timeline but the movieclip doesn't catch that, when traced I get undefined. Can I send a value from the main-timeline to a moviclips timeline?
I've been looking at other posts and trying to cobble this together, but am lost. I have a movie I need to play from frames 1-45 five times then continue from frame 50 to frame 70 and stop. on frame one I have the following script (in a layer for actions)
if (numberOfTimesToLoop<5) { gotoAndPlay(1); numberOfTimesToLoop++; } else { gotoAndPlay(50);
On my main timeline, I load a mc from the library with:
text_content.attachMovie("text_content", "text_content", 10); There is a marker inside this mc called "news". I need a script in the main timeline that will gotoandStop "news" within the "text_content" mc.I have tried, amongst others

How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
I am trying to "gotoAndStop" on a frame in a nested timeline from the main timeline, but can't seem to figure out the correct way to write it with it's 'parents' etc... this is how I have tried which makes sense to me (have tried other ways too) but no success.
