ActionScript 3.0 :: Starting And Stopping Multiple Movieclips On Different Keyframes Of Main Movie
Jun 17, 2009
I have multiple movie clips on 4 labeled frames of my movie. The keyframes are as follows : People, Place, Portfolio, Possibilities
The buttons to go to each of these keyframes work, although because I have a movie (different for each keyframe) I cannot get the previous movie's audio to stop when I click to another keyframe.
Also, I cannot get the other movie to work once I am on the next page.
The movieclips are named- Btn2 -which is the movieclip that plays once clicked on the homepage. Btn3- which is the movieclip that is supposed to play once clicked (on the people page).
To see what I'm talking about- visit: [URL]
give it some time to load- then click the doorbell- let the movie play for a little bit then click on people...the door closes, but the sound continues.
Here's the actionscript.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//---people button timeline change---//

I have an swf file on the homepage that is the intro followed a menu. When the user types the URL for the home page from an outside site, I need the entire flash file to play from frame 1, but if you have already seen it and then clicked around to subpages within the site and then want to go back to the home page , I want the movieclip to start from a specified keyframe.

I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

I'm in need of a preloader, (or easy tutorial on how to create one), that will run a progress bar and also play a short welcome animation all the way through... regardless of connection speed. One that checks total frames of mc against total bytes loaded or something.

I can't seem to get around my video and audio files starting when I arrive at the page. I'm even using some example code with start and stop buttons. This is in CS4 Flash. I expect it's because the ActionScript is in the wrong place because when I run the movie it flashes through all of the pages on the site without stopping at the home page. Is there some generic code that will allow me to simply swap out the name of the video or audio file I want to start. If there is, do I need to locate it on its own layer at the top of the timeline?

I've set a music sound to play across three scenes in my movie. However, when the user clicks to enter the fourth scene, I'd like the music to stop. Simple enough.
Here's the problem...the fourth scene contains individual keyframes in the scene where I have separate voice overs for each frame. The user navs forward or backward among the scene's keyframes using arrow buttons for forward and backward. How can I have the voice over stop playing on frame 1 if the user clicks the arrow to go to frame 2 if the frame 1 sound isn't finished playing? Frame 1 plays out until finished, even if the user has clicked to go to frame 2.
Then, on return to the main scene where the general music file played, I'd like it to resume playing upon the user clicking 'return home.'
Incidentally, I set up my sound files to play on a soundtrack timeline.

I have placed an invisible button over the tweened animation, now here's my question:Whe i click on the invisible button the animation stops and when I click on it again, it restartsSo that's it really, can this be done? I know how to stop the animation by putting a stop in the action script, so I am looking for some actionscript that works on an alternative click method if I am making myself clear? Example:

I'm working on an assignment for a Flash Game Programming class (1 of 2) where I have to take a pre-made animation, add start and stop buttons to it, and use AS3 to make those buttons work. I got the buttons on the .fla, but I'm having a heck of a time stopping the animation using the stop button (I haven't even done the start button yet). This course is an independent study so I'm not being "taught" anything by the instructor. I have to find the answers myself. I've asked said instructor, my former AS instructor, and several computer lab monitors for help and we cannot get the animation to work correctly. There are compile errors that come up that really make no sense. This is my last resort in regards to this assignment!

I want to play my songs in my Flash site..
I tried Making the song title as a button, and then I figured out how to make the song play by releasing the mouse button. This works great, however, when I click on the button numerous times, the song starts playing numerous times..
What I would like is to be able to click on my Song_btn once to start the song, and then click again on the Song.btn to stop the song.
or another option is to start the song with the Song_btn, and then some way to just let that song play through.
I have used the "stop all sounds" command when you navigate away from that songs particular page..

I have a simple tween that runs over 50 frames, there is no stop action so it loops, just what I want. I have placed an invisible button over the tweened animation, now here's my question: When I click on the invisible button the animation stops and when I click on it again, it restarts. So that's it really, can this be done? I know how to stop the animation by putting a stop in the action script, so I am looking for some actionscript that works on an alternative click method if I am making myself clear?
Example: First click stops it, second click starts it, third click stops it fourth click starts it - this goes on forever.

I have 4 sets of 2 buttons (on and off):
Each set of buttons I want to trigger and stop a different audio file. (4 audio files in total)
I would like for the sound files to be saved within the .fla file.
I have done lots of searching but I still haven't been able to get this to work.

I need to create a tall background, when the user clicks on a button the background will scroll up and down to the area that the user wants to go to. ( I　attach an image of how that might look like)
The background is divided in to 4 sections, the way i figure to do this, is to have each section be a different part of the timeline- and what Ｉ need to happen is as the user arrives at one of the sections or in that part of the timeline the mc's on that sections start playing and stoping once he/she leaves.
If there is a better way of doing this as well- feel free of telling me- Im use flash about once a year.

Im having trouble stopping or starting loaded swf files. I need to dynamically load the swf file but make sure it doesn�t play until the user requests it. The trouble is I wont know anything about the loading swf file (for example frame labels, if it has a 'stop' script in the first frame etc.) Ive attached a simplified version which I think illustrates the problem but the code is:

I have a nested MC that functions as a continuous slider; when you mouse right of center it slides one way and when you mouse left of center it slides the opposite direction. Right at center it stops. The problem I have is that I'm using this as a menu at the bottom of a .swf and there are other places to mouse on the page, which means that this menu is constantly in motion even when it's not being used. I want it to stop when it isn't being used, only because it's an MC I can't use the onMouseOut command to stop the clip. I tried making a button that targets the clip and stops it when you roll over the button but it doesn't work.
Here's the script I'm currently using:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xcenter = 467.5;
speed = 1/25;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-xcenter;

I have a wheel that starts, loops, and slows to a stop, using 3 separate tweens, which is functioning pretty well. The issue I'm having is the transition between the startup tween and the looping tween:
Startup tween:
mWheelStartTween = new Tween(mcWheel, "rotation", Regular.easeIn, mcWheel.rotation, mcWheel.rotation+360, 2, true);
Looping tween:
mWheelLoopTween = new Tween(mcWheel, "rotation", None.easeNone, mcWheel.rotation, mcWheel.rotation+360, 1.5, true);
Visually, everything should be based on the duration of the looping tween. I played with the duration of the starting tween to get it close, but there's still a small jump. How can I set a target rotational velocity for the end of the startup tween, so it seamlessly blends in with the looping rotational velocity? Should I not be using a tween for this? I'd like to pass in a duration value to the looping tween to support different speeds....which would affect the startup as well.

In my main .fla file I have a movie clip onstage called "square". The movieclip is empty. Below that are five buttons (black, red, blue, green, remove) which, depending on the color button clicked, would load into the empty "square" clip either a movie called "black_square.swf", "red_square.swf", "blue_square.swf" or "green_square.swf". Only one such movie at a time is loaded into the clip. Clicking the "remove" button empties the clip. I've also got a "submit" button, which, when I click it, I'd want to submit the name of whatever .swf file happens to be loaded to a database. If nothing is loaded I want the record created to show the "square" movieclip was empty.
I've been able to make an application that has a central movie clip containing 20-something other clips. The application lets people create their own design of a particular item, choosing the colors of every component to this item (each of which is loaded into its own component-specific movie clip). One of the movie clips can be populated by a .jpg or .png file a user himself uploads. Once finished, people can print or save this design by choosing the appropriate button on this app. What I'm trying to do is find a way to also pass this design, created from multiple movie clips into a central clip, into a database as well.
The movie clips are "driven" by 21 color chip buttons each which has an instance name of a color, i.e. "black", "brown", "dark_green", etc. By a series of switch/case statements, when one clicks a "component" button (there are approximately 13-15 components) they load into the clips a movie named "(model)_(view)_(component)_(color (event.target.name)).swf". There are many "models" to choose from but within the stage only one "model" is selected at a time, so that wouldn't change here.
The design can be viewed from front, back, left or right, so that's what the "view" is - the colored components that are the same save for the view (i.e., an object which can be seen from either the front or left view) are loaded into movie clips that are either visible or invisible depending on which view one selects. Is there a way I can attach a variable name to a movie clip which is selected (bearing in mind that the application viewer can change the color of each component (and therefore the clip loaded) at will) to be read by the database? Or would the name of whatever movie clip itself that happens to be loaded be sufficient? "populating a database from contents of a movie clip".

I'm trying to do a little augmented reality. I'm using an action script to call a video and play it. The problem that I'm having is that the sound is starting the moment the window is open and the video plays with the marker is shown. I want the sound and video to only play when the marker is seen. I would like it to pause when the marker is removed and then resume where it left off when the marker is seen again. Here is a copy of my code if someone could look it over and tell me what I'm doing wrong. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just correct my mistake. I don't understand enough about coding for you to just say Netstream.pause() and netstream.resume. I don't know where to put that information in.
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.display.BitmapData; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.media.Video; import flash.net.NetConnection; import flash.net.NetStream;

I have a flash piece with 3 main keyframes/story ("story1", "story2" & "story 3") that cycles (and loops) from story to story, and 3 buttons that stop the cycle and take you to one of the stories
So on my first frame I have:
_root.mainMC.playing = "true";
function playOn(frame) {
/gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
Then on each keyframe I have:
stop();
setTimeout(this,'playOn',2000,"whatever the next frame is")
Then on button I have:
on (press) {
_root.mainMC.playing = "false";
gotoAndStop("story3");
}
I think somehow I have to have the button clear the function because for example, if I am viewing story 1 during the cycle and click 3, it goes to 3 and then quickly goes back to 2 and then stops on 3.

on my project I got 4 frames and multiple layers. The first two frames have actionscript code, first also one has a X position animation and then second keyframe a reverse X position animation. But I also have buttons that when clicked go to frame 3 and 4, where there is no actionscript for the animation. What I wanna do is use the same actionscript(for the reverse animation which is one frame 2) for frames 3 and 4. How can I do that? My only thought was to create an if statement, saying if frame is 3 or 4, play the reverse animation.

I am just about to give up on this whole as3 thing altogether. It is so complex that it is becoming prohibitive for designers, event technical ones ike me (I program easily in perl/php/javascript/sql). All I am trying to do start the main timeline from a button. The button's "up" state is also a movie clip.
Here's the process I am looking for:
1) the main timeline progresses until a certain point where I have inserted a stop();
2) I then display a "continue" button (which is an animated movie clip).
3) the user will "click" the button and the main timeline continues.
My simple Code:
this.stop();
function closeIt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
My problem: when the button is clicked it just starts the button over again.

The attached file contains an .fla with which I am having problems with - it's in it's initial stages but I cannot seem to the code to work correctly to allow a button, on the main timeline, to play a movieclip without error.Also, since there are several MC's, I need to be able to alternate between MC's by clicking on buttons on the main timeline. This is the code currently in use:
Code:
workbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick);
function onPlayClick(event:MouseEvent):void

Is there a way to add some code in the first frame of the main movie's timeline that sets certain MC's that I specify into level 1000? I'm going to be using swap depths for a project but I need certain clips to always remain on top no matter what. The swap depth of the other movies will constantly be raising them by 2 levels, so I figure I'll put the ones I need on top on level 1000 as the others should never reach that high. I was thinking I'd have to either add an array with the MC's I need moved to level 1000, or make them _global. and set a property to that somehow.

I am currently building an mp3 player with a little screen which displays some images in a certain order. Everything is loaded in through XML. I would like to preload those images together with my main movie (using the same preloader bar), so the images can be used later. How would I accomplish this?

Excuse the probably simple question but I'm just starting off with Flash.I have imported a few video trailers directly into flash and saved them as movie clips. I want to be able to insert these movie clips onto the main timeline and play them one after the other, repeating once they have all played. On the main timeline I have set a layer for each clip and a keyframe where the clip is inserted for each layer. When I go to play the flash file, it is showing the first frame from each movie file and then moving to the first frame of the next movie file. What do I need to do to make flash play the entire movie file in that specific frame before moving to the next frame where the next movie file is and playing all that movie?

So I have been trying to figure out a way to control multiple clips using the same "on press" & "on release" statements located on 1st frame of main timeline. A variable is being set to a value that correlates to the name of each movie clip as an interaction occurs.Ex: user clicks from a selection of buttons & depending on the button clicked it sets clipNum = "1" through "21".What I want is to have something like the following code that will give the user the ability to click and drag the clip with code on the main timeline similar to the following:
_root["drag_" + clipNum].onPress = function () {
startDrag (_root["drag_" + clipNum]);
};

I had to create a menu using array and I had to animate it. With some great expertise from people, I've accomplished that. But now I have a question about OOP, because I'm trying to add functionality to the buttons to load swfs into my main movie. Even though I strictly follow tutorials and exercises, I can't figure out how to reference a variable made in one class to another. For instance, I have index.as, navbar.as, and menubutton.as. I assume I need to add a loader to my index.as. But I can't trace the loader in my other classes. I've been told to effectively accomplish this, it is best to use custom event dispatchers. But I'm lost on how to use them.

I am creating a very simple file with 4 single frame scenes in Flash CS3. These are linked by simple arrow buttons. However, the movie doesn't stop on the keyframes even though I have put a stop script in each of the four. There is no other script involved so far. The stop script appears on the top of the actions panel on the actions layer. Please see JPEG screenshot attached. [URL].
