I made a flash website that has several different "pages". I just found out after creating it that a QR code will be used to navigate to the about page. The only way I can see doing it is by having the QR code navigate to [url].......On that html page, is there a way for me to use actionscript 3.0 to tell movieclips to go to certain frames? My .swf only using internal scripting.
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of movieclips in my library. Each one contains it's own class and functions etc.I put each of these movieclips on diffrent frames in my timeline.My question was, if I am going to put these movieclips, on 2 or 3 frames on my timeline what will be the impact on speed of application (in mobile afcourse).For example MovieClip2 will be put on frames 2,3 and 6.It has 300 lines of code. Is the impact noticable ?
View 3 RepliesI have a main fla with loaded swfs. I would like that I can access a movie clip
in a swf from from another swf.
I would like a button on one frame, when clicked, to go to another frame of a movie clip in a loaded swf on a different frame.
i have a gallery on my root timeline. The gallery is called work_mc. Inside of work_mc I have various buttons. There is a different section on different frames.For example,ALL is on frame one, PRINT is on frame two, motion is on frame three.In the root here is the
Code:
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
work_mc.urbanthmb_mc.buttonMode = true;
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
This is targeting the buttons that are on frame 1. How do I get to the buttons that are on frame 3? I tried just using the movieclip names but this doesnt seem to work?
I need to set movie clips at specific frames from an existing array. For example, if I have the array [4,7,3] and three movie clips, I want the first clip to be at frame 4, the second at frame 7, and the third at frame 3. Except I have 100 of these, not just three.
Here's the code I'm using to test it out on a single movie clip. It isn't throwing up any error messages, but it isn't working, either, and the movie clip remains stubbornly set on the first frame. 'Randomorderlist' is the array, which is working perfectly. The trace is also working correctly and displaying the number of the frame I want for the movie clip.
function assignframe():void {
boxsymbol(gotoAndStop(randomorderlist[0]));
trace(randomorderlist[0]);
}
assignframe();
I think I might know why it isn't working, but I'm not sure. 'boxsymbol' is the class name rather than the instance name. I first tried the instance name, but it came up with a 1180 error and stuffed up the whole SWF badly. This was the only way I could fix it. Also, Flash wouldn't let me use the same name for the class and the instance. It forced me to use classes, even though I don't really want to.

View 1 RepliesI added some movieclips from the library via the addChild method. The actionscript is in frame 1. I have a button which takes me too frame 2. When I click that it takes me to frame 2 but it also leaves every single MovieClip on the stage from frame 1. This is terrible annoying. As I want it to only display the movieclips on frame 2 not the movieclips from frame 1.
Code:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[Code].....
There is an actual frame 2 keyframe so don't think I didn't leave that out. Adding the line removeChild(playButton); just gives me a compiler error about calling.
How do I play a series of frames sequentially... (each one has a movie clip on it), and I don't want the next frame to start until the nested movie clip has finished playing?
View 1 RepliesI've been reading a Flash book, and it tries to explain how you can use Action script to create a preloader that will play a movie clips frames based on the amount of bytes loaded. I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader,10);
function preloader() {
if (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal()) {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
} myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(_framesloaded/_totalframes*(myMovieClip._totalframes)));
}
This is on the first frame of my movie. I've also have a stop action on the first frame of my movie clip. I've attached the FLA for dissection....ts?
I had been made a dress-up game...I arranged the set of dress images into to be the different frames of movieclips with the next button.When i drag the dress images from frame1 movieclip and put on to the stage(avatar),the images from frame1 movieclip will be dissapeared when i clicked on the next button going to the frame2.How do i need to do to make the dress images from frame1 remain on stage even when i clicked the next button to frame2 ?Which coding should i use to make the image stay on stage?....
View 1 RepliesI have layers of a level that the player can switch between.. and movieclips are all inside each other..full_level has 3 instances of full_platforms inside it.. On full_platforms' timeline there are 5 frames with all the platforms and objects for the level. the 3 instances of full_platforms in full_level are called foreground_mc, middleground_mc, and background_mc. CurrentFrame for foreground is set to middle.currentFrame-1, and background is set to +1. The player can switch which frame they are on to go to the foreground and background of the level.. Like a 2d slice of a 3d world basically..
Now, the bug.. in each platform there is a var called layer which is set to MovieClip(parent).name so I can tell if the platform is in the middle, foreground, or background. For some reason platforms on inactive frames are hittesting positive with the player and then tracing a null object reference after doing so. So basically.. platforms from old frames still exist for some reason.[code]...
I was programming games in AS2 in a way where movieclips could themselves remove, for example, when they collide with main character. If the objects where created in realtime with attachmovie then removeMovieClip, but if they where objects that where already existing because placed in the timeline, unloadmovie () was working. I know in AS3 I can delete them from the parent who created them but, most of my movieclips are thrown into a frame in the main clip editor. I mean, I use the timeline frames as level editor where I design my levels and I place the objects directly there and not create them by code. How can I remove them??

View 1 RepliesI want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesI have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

View 4 RepliesI m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:

stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............
I have two SWF-Movies. One is exported into eht other as Child.Can I instance the Objects of the two libraries in all places, where ActionScript is possible? (In Keyframes of the MovieClips and in external class definitions.)
View 3 RepliesLooking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop

I have created 25 MovieClips on the stage in 5 X 5 matrix.How can I treat 5 movieclips in each row as a group of movieclips so that I can apply same set action to them?(Similar to RadioButton functionality. )
View 6 RepliesPrinting an MC is easy enough. But I am having trouble printing an MC which has multiple MCs inside of it. They just don't get printed.
I am trying to avoid printAsBitmap.
I want to test mc animations without having to hit F12 to see if they work correctly. For instance, if I have an animation movieclip and then I make another movieclip and drop that aforementioned movieclip within, and animate [via the timeline or library preview] I'm unable to see on-the-fly what my animation looks like... it only shows the top most nest, unless I F12 it.
So if I have a character blinking eyes (one movieclip) and then I create another movie clip of the face, and put that aforementioned movieclip within, the preview animation within the library does not show how it'll be viewed when F12'n it.,,,, it'd be great to see your animations on the fly.
why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)
I have a movieclip called mapWindow, inside mapWindow are dynamically created movieclips of various sizes. The movieclips inside the mapWindow don't take up the entire space of the mapWindow and thus I use a startDrag on the mapWindow upon detection of a mouse press. The problem is, I don't want the start drag to start if the mouse is detected over any of the child movieclips inside mapWindow.
I have a few ideas of how to proceed, but I'm not sure how to reference all child movieclips of a particular movieclip - or something along those lines.
It would be easy to use the hittest function if I knew how to reference all the movieclips I need to, but alas...
