I have a stop play button but it freezes play as opposed to what I require which is returning cursor to frame 1 to then await the next button click when an animation would play again.I currently have code for the button as :-
on (release) {stopMovies(this);function stopMovies(mov:MovieClip) {for (movs in mov) {if (typeof (mov[movs]) == "movieclip") {mov[movs].stop();stopMovies(mov[movs]);}}}}
one thing that always annoyed me and that I never sought an answer for is, occasionally, when I want to play a single frame of a symbol, it won't stay on the frame I want. It will automatically default back to whatever frame # it is originally on.I read that it was because it has something to do tweening automatically syncing and snapping and I just have to turn it off. However, I can't figure out how to do that.
View 1 Repliesim creating a character sheet and all i have to do is get the character to do a few things, im using Stan from american dad, so he draws his gun, salutes, and does this guns speech, only problem is. i can get him to salute by using the code
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("2");
}
this links fine, the salute is in a movieclip on frame 2 of the timeline, and the button is set to link to this.problem starts after the movieclip finishes playing, how to return to frame 1 on the main timeline, ive tried gotoAndStop("1") amongst other things (gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", 1)ive also tried frameLables too but that didnt work, though im not sure if i was doing that right to start with.Then im having a problem with my other buttons, even when set to on(release){gotoAndPlay("3");} they still go to frame 2 (with salute on)
My script have a list of .swf files and needs to play them one by one. My problem is that i can't detect when the movieclip (containing the swf) completes playing.
I understood that i need to copmare between _currentframe and _totalframes of the moviecip but i keep getting 1 as the _currentframe (my main timeline contains only 1 frame).
Code:
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
var container:MovieClip =

how to play the timeline with a simple button
example:
in AS2 you could attached script to button something like
on MouseEvent {
gotoandplay(6);
}
thats all I am trying to do, but in AS3 how do I simply get a button when clicked to go to a frame and play.

I have tried everything but it just isn't working.On my main timeline I have a MC called "rainbow." Inside "rainbow" I have a MC called "greenbow."Inside "greenbow" I have a MC called "meetbtn2" I want it to play frame 134 on the main timeline when you click "meetbtn2."my code inside greenbow is as follows:
meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);
};
however it doesn't work! is it because i am inside two MC's?I have also tried
_root.rainbow.greenbow.meetbtn2.onRelease = function () {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);
};
Say on frame 100 of my timeline on my layer movie, I want to load a clip. What is the AS that I put in the keyframe 100?

View 9 RepliesI have two embedded flv's in the timeline, one after the other. There are no errors in the video files. When the "playhead" in the exported swf comes to the end of the two combined videoclips, it jumps back to the first frame of the 2nd video clip for a fraction of a second, before playing from the start of the timeline as it is supposed to. I have explicitly done a "gotoandplay(1) in a separate action layer, at the last frame of the "movie", but that's not what happens.

I have an image scrolling setup like in itunes, however I am unable to click on the images to play a frame in my timeline (i.e. I�m going to click on one of the revolving pictures, which change to another frame, enlarging a square on the page which contains information). So every image that is rotating enlarges a square at the bottom. What changes do I have to make in order to do this. Below is the action script:

View 5 RepliesI am currently in the middle of making a "sniping" flash game. In the first level there are a series of moving targets which are also movie clips. Inside the movie clip there is a 7 frame animation of the target exploding. Inside that is a tween of the target moving up and down. And inside that there is a plain old button.
What I want to happen is when you click on the moving target it explodes and brings you to a new frame of the main timeline. (ex. Main Timeline frame #27) But I'm pretty sure it thinks I was to play the seven frame animation of it exploding and then go to frame 27 inside the movie clip, rather then frame 27 on the main timeline.
Here's what my AS looks like on the target (ActionScript 2.0 is what I'm using.)
on (press) {
play();
}
on (release){
gotoAndStop(27)}
So how do I make it explode and then take me to frame 27 on the main timeline?

View 2 RepliesI'm making a banner for a "client" and he wants me to make it like yahoo's news banner. I understand that they're using HTML5 and I haven't learned that yet. Anyways, I did a great job learning the banner in less than a month.
(I'll try to make this short) The banner has a 5sec pause and then it proceeds to the next frame. It also has 6 buttons that will direct the user to a specific banner that he/she wants to click. He wants the banner to stop and stay on a specific frame and not proceed further. I have achieved that, but here's the problem.

Im trying to make these movie clips stay on the hit state when the user clicks. Can someone help me out? This is what I have so far.
View 1 RepliesSo basically i'm trying to allow the movieclip to play and once its played move onto the next frame.
I'm using Actionscript 3.0. and the movie clips around 6-7 seconds long.
I created a movieclip that follows the mouse up and down with easing, using this code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_y = 400;
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endY = _root._ymouse;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
What happens is that when I load the page the movieclip goes to where the mouse is right away, before I even put the mouse over the frame. How do I get the movieclip to stay at the bottom of the frame until I move the mouse over it?
