I'm using CS4 with AS3 and have a little problem with my rewind and forward buttons. For the play and stop buttons it works fine with this script:
playButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playButtonClick);
function playButtonClick (e:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
[Code]....
I get error messages.
All I need is to rewind and forward the movie about 50 frames and keep playing without stopping.
Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();

I'm loading an external .swf using the following code:
voiceover = new Sound ();voiceover.loadSound("Audio/Test.mp3", true);
The audio plays fine. My question is how can I create a pause, resume, rewind, or fast forward button for an external mp3?
I am building a video player and would like to have a forward and rewind button. I was looking at tutorials and it seems like none of them have this. Is there a reason for this?
View 5 RepliesWhat I need its a way to control my timeline forward and rewind. To make it easy to explain I will make a example: Imagine that you have a movie (cars crossing a street - with trucks and buses too). Sometimes there is just cars on the street, sometimes just trucks. I should paste this movie into my timeline(like image sequence), in the background of my application. In other layer will be informations, in this example, about trucks and cars. Till this point ok. But I need to make the movie go to the frame that I choose to be the image of the movie that only have cars.
Okay ... this is in frame 15 of the movie. Then I click a button and go to show trucks info. I click and go to frame 30... at this point ok too. But now I click again to see about cars. Its in frame 15 and I don't want to "JUMP" (like gotoandstop)... I want the movie rewinds (in the speed that it plays) till I get frame 15. How do I control the timeline like this? (There will be at least 6 points in this movie that i want to stop by. And this movie begins stopped.)
I have a Flash animation (AS2) that contains a background audio file. I've been asked to add controls to it. So far, I have added buttons to pause/play the animation and stop and start both the root timeline and the attached mp3 audio. I also need to add a reverse button. I've seen tutorials that are enable reversing of the timeline's playhead. Is there a way to have the audio file reverse as well?

i'm making a game and i don't want people to be able to skip frames or rewind during the game this would mess things up, how can i remove this?
View 3 RepliesI have 10 keyframes in my movie. Each keyframe has stop(); and an MC with a piece of animation inside, and at the end of each MC, there is a _root.nextFrame();lay and Pause buttons work, but rewind and forward do not work. It works, if I export individual MC's, but I really need it to work, so that they can control the rewind and forward, by going into the MC's first.To conclude: I think the problem is, that the code must know that it must control the animation inside a corresponding MC, and not on the main timeline (like it is programmed to originally) - but how? Which codes do I alter to my own needs? Or am I placing my code at the wrong place? (inside the MC vs. outside). Should I also giv my MC's unique instance names?

Is this even possible?
View 8 RepliesI googled "as3 audio slow motion fast forward rewind" and found only this of relevance: playing slow motion, fast forward , rewind in a video player in flash video player, which briefly talks about how to fast forward and rewind a video as well as two options for doing slow motion on video. I only need audio, though. I think I might be able to do fast forward and rewind by stopping the SoundChannel and then playing the sound at a different position using addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, ~), but I'm completely lost on how to apply the advice regarding slow motion. I use Flash CS5.5 and all the sounds I want to operate on are already in the library.

Basically I want to make a navigation with a seemless transition. One with an intro but NO outro so to speak. I've also skimmed through kirupa to look for similar scripts and I've found a couple of interesting scripts but don't really know how to append and reorganize em into global.functions and other stuffz.
MovieClip.prototype.backward = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(this._totalframes);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(this._currentframe-1);
If you can have a -1 can you also play the timeline frames by typing 1 instead?

View 5 RepliesI am doing a postcard flip and would like to rewind my timeline when a button is released. I tried to modify the complexbutton but didn't really get the effect that I was after.
What I am trying to do 1) when the movie opens, I have an arrow to the right, what I want to happen is, when it is clicked, the movie plays and stops at the last frame, easy enough.
2)When the movie is on the last frame there is another button, and when that one is clicked, I want thee movie to reverse. It can't be that hard, can it?

View 16 RepliesI made a vertical list of thumbnails and converted them into a movie clip. There is a total of 20 thumbnails. I masked the movie clips so that it only shows 5 thumbnails at a time. I created keyframes at every point in the clip that 5 thumbnails are shown so that I can pause it.I was trying to use this code to scroll down from the first set of 5 to the second:
on (release) {
design_thumbnails.gotoAndPlay (20)
}
When I click the button nothing happens I'd also like to know how to rewind the movie so that when I press the up arrow it goes up to the previous set of 5.

I am creating a video player with my own buttons, play stop are easy, but I can't for the life of me get it to rewind or start again (not loop). It may be worth noting that the flash video is store within a movie clip! The flv instance is flv_close and the movie instance is mv_close.

I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote:
ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code:
stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....

I looked at the tutorial on gotoandlearn about it, and understood the concept, but it's in as3, and I'm trying to do this in as2.I have it so that the url changes, and the title changes. And when you click on the various buttons on my site..it registers in the browser..but the main purpose I can't get, namely, if someone clicks my about button, i want to trigger the about function.That is easy enough to do in flash, but how can I get it to trigger from the back or forward button. Or if someone goes to URL...I am not getting the key ingredient to make this happen. If I paste in URL...how is it to know to launch the about function?

How do I create a fast forward button that continuously fast forwards while the mouse is clicked and in the down position and plays at regular speed when the mouse is released?If nobody knows how to do that, then does anybody know how to make the movie fast forward when the button is clicked and then make it go back to play when the fast forward button is clicked again in a boolean sort of fashion? That's not preferred but I could live with that and it sounds easier.
View 1 RepliesThis is probably a very simple actionscript question I am using CS3 on an AS2 movie. I want to make a simple audio level bar and I created a movie clip with ten frames and ten squares that appear in a line. On each frame you can see one more square i.e. from 1 to 10.What I want is to have a + button on the main time line and every time it is pressed it advances on the frame of a movie clip called loader_mc to the next frame. Similarly if I press minus button the movie clip goes back a frame.This is the actionscript i tried but it only works once. It doesn't keep moving on each frame.
Code:
on (press) {
_root.loader_mc.gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
