I am trying to load external files from flash but I also need to do it using a variable that gets the frame label which is the same as the file name something like:
var myVariable:String = frame.get(framelabel);
and then use this code each time I get to a different frame label to load an external file for example when I am on frame "Boy", It loads Boy.jpg or Boy.txt.
I have a button on my main timeline that calls an external swf file into an empty container movie. How do I load external swf file and play on a particular frame label? I want to load a file called original.swf and start playing on a frame label called wheels.
View 2 RepliesI have a main movie and a sidebar movie within it. In the sidebar movie, there is a tab that will insert text from an XML document based on the location of the playhead in the main timeline. I was thinking there must be some way to do an 'if else' statement to have the sidebar movieclip look for the playhead location in the main movie and get the appropriate child node based on that. However, I am not experienced enough in AS3, and I don't think I'm writing the function correctly. Here is the code, but there is also a link to the file I'm working with in case this code doesn't make sense:
PHP Code:
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
var Intro01txt:String = xmlData.scriptText[0].narration.text();

I have 2 swfs. One called "loves.swf" that contains 4 buttons. When you click on one of the buttons, it opens up an with an external swf, called "about_loves.swf". I would like to make each button go to a different frame labeled in my external swf. Currently, when you click on any button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4), they just play frame 1 from the external swf, "about_loves.swf".I would like btn2 to play frame 2 of "about_loves.swf", btn3 to play frame 3 of "about_loves.swf" and btn4 to play frame 4 of "about_loves.swf".here is my code so far:
// these two lines are needed only once, so here they are:
import local.display.ShadowBox;
ShadowBox.initialize(stage);

I have a scroll menu as a ScrollPane component with menu buttons which take the user to a spacific frame lable within an external SWF (which is loaded form a main SWF already) My code for the botton is:
on (release){
_root.badges.gotoAndPlay("executive");
}
badges is the SWF name loaded as external SWF from a main stage (call this main.SWF) where the menu sits as well. "executive" is the frame label I want the timeline of badges.SWF to go to when you click the button, but this does not work?
It was working when I have this on another flash file. I recently had to move this into another flash file its still the same setup as in the other flash file, there is a loader clip and menu on the main timeline of my main.SWF and all it has to do is go to a specific frame label within the loaded external SWF from the main timeline of the main SWF.

I am using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.
I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
I have a button on the main timeline. I would like to move the main timeline to a frame label called "history" and load and play a movie clip called "slideshow1".
I have the "gotoAndPlay" code working properly but can't seem to get the external swf "slideshow1" to load and play.
I've inserted the following code into the frame label "history" actionscript.

Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});
[code]....
However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.

which works great IF I am moving one image at a time.What I have done now is tween 3 slides to move into a visible mask by pressing next, but when I press previous of course the above doesn't work.It just jumps to the previous three with no tween.I would like to maintain the tween but in reverse.I would like the previous just to undo, in reverse, what the next button just did with the tween?Is there anyway to make this happen with as 2.0?
if its possible, via AS3, to create a frame label in a movieclip on a specific frame.
Obviously I can do it by manually by setting up labels on the timeline within the target movieclip, but I would rather use an array so I can loop through it, creating a label name on a the specific frame each time?
so for example I would end up with:
myLabelOne on frame 10
myLabelTwo on frame 25
myLabelThree on frame 115
etc
I am trying to use this if statement with a frame label instead of a frame number. I believe that _currentframe is looking for a number only. Is there a different command that looks at frame labels instead of frame numbers?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to find the frame number of frame label with AS if a button is rolled over, the timeline jumps to a label - which plays a set of 3D rendered frames to 'raise' and element, once a user rolls out of the 'button' area the button is meant to 'lower' - which can be done by simply playing backwards to the previous label.

View 2 RepliesI am loading a swf into an empty MC with this code:

what I want to do is also go to a specific frame or frame label in that loaded movie. I thought I could do it by adding something like this:

I have three buttons, btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, and two movie clips, image_1,image_2. The names listed btn_1,btn_2,btn_3, image_1,image_2. are all instance names. All buttons and movie clips are on their own layer in a single frame on the main time line. the movie clips have a stop action on the first and last frame, with a frame label, on the first frame in the sub time line. For image_1 the frame label is image_1_1 and for image_2 the frame label is image_2_1.
I would like btn_1 and btn_2 to control the movie clips, image_1,image_2. Either button should be able to close the other buttons movie clip and play it's own movie clip. Also i am trying to make the movie clips themselves have the ability to be closed by clicking on the movie clip image area that is playing. Both movie clips when not playing hide behind the appropriate button with an alfa of 0.
When playing they expand to the middle of the window and are at 100% alfa, using a tween. The third button, btn_3 should only be visible when one or the other movie clisp are playing. btn_3 dose nothing else but this for now. As of now, my movies continuously loop and btn_3 is always visible. I can't seem to figure this out. my code for this action is:

I have navigation buttons that are linked to frame labels on other scenes and when you double click them they go to the next scene.
