View 1 RepliesURL...My question is how can i make the movieclips that act as buttons play a certain frame on my time line? ....i don't know where or what to insert.
View 1 RepliesI'm learning AS3 and I can't get this to work for me. In AS2 I would add a unique var to my buttons. If you clicked any of them they would just play() the main time line. Then when they got to the next keyframe it would look for the var and then go to the corresponding keyframe. How do I do this in AS3?
View 2 RepliesMy issue is that for my website I want there to be movies in between the interactive parts of it where the interfaces slide in and out. However, I can't stop a movie from playing over and over instead of playing once and going to the next frame.With 2.0 I haven't been able to find any research that helps me, probably because I don't know the correct keywords to search for.Right now I have my main time line set up with a loading bar on frames 1 & 2, that then jumps to frame 3 where I have embedded a movie (Instance named: mc_start) of the interface sliding in. Preferably after that I need it to jump to frame 4 where the actual interface is.
I can get the movie to end by going into the embedded movie's time line and simply have stop() ; at the final frame, but I can't get it to go to frame 4 on the main time line. If I having something like gotoAndPlay(4) ; on the final frame of the embedded movie's time line, it simply goes to frame 4 of the embedded time line and not frame 4 of the main time line. If there was a command to make it jump back to the main time line instead of the embedded time line, that would work perfectly.Coding on Frame 3 of the main time line to jump to Frame 4 would work if I knew the correct language to detect when the movie has ended (Movie is 191 frames long), so that afterwards it would immediately jump to Frame 4, but I haven't been able to find any resources that will teach me how to do it. Right now having gotoAndPlay(4) ; on Frame 3 of the main time line obviously makes it immediately skip the movie on Frame 3 and jump to Frame 4.
What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

View 5 RepliesProblem: I have an flv I would like to play backwards.
Attempt: I have used the code below to play an MC backwards as well as forwards with success in the past. Now I have an flv which I must play backwards and I thought embedding it entirely in an MC would be fine. The code works, but when ti performs the backwards portion, well, it runs very slowly.
Question: Is there a way to play the embedded flv backwards at full speed using the method I tried or do I have to load the flv into the swf at runtime?

I've made this as a "prototype", getting used to how the game will move and such, and I've got it moving as I want it, but I can't make it move backwards when I press the back button The whole thing is inside a movie clip, I just want it to play backwards when I press the back button

View 5 RepliesI created a MC that will play when you rollover a button and play again on rollout. Here comes the problem. If you rollout this MC before the animation comes to stop, it will stop at the stop point and won't continue playing until you rollover again which then looks (and actually is) as a bug.
View 3 RepliesIn my project i have a mc called theArrow, which contains 85 frames of animation, and a roll-over region called mouseRegion.
When the mouse rolls over the region i want theArrow mc to play backwards from the point it is at, and when the mouse leaves the region i want it to resume playing forward again.
here is my script:
Code:
theArrow.addEventListener(event.ENTER_FRAME, playBck);
function playBck(event:Event):void {
this.theArrow.prevFrame();

I'm trying to play a movie clip backwards on rollout, but can't get it to work.
I have a main movie clip, which contains a button and a movie clip. Since the area of main movie clip is larger than the button hit area, I'm trying to create the reverse effect from the button.

View 7 RepliesIs it best to try to play a movieclip backwards or maybe use some other technique like reversing the frames and creating a new sequence and the play that one?

i have 4 main sections of my site and i would like it if the user is deep into section 2 and wants to click a button to go to section 3, section 2 actually reverses every tween/action it has ( breaking down ) then goes to section 3. i would prefer this rather than an abrupt shutdown section 2 and section 3 starts.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a movie clip to play forward when the mouse hovers over it but backwords when the mouse rolls off. This sounds easy enough but I having a few problems getting it to work.
I do not want to clip to jump to a position before changing direction.
I am having problems getting the clip to go backwards on the rolloff if the foward movement has not been completed.
I thought that I could just use script to send the clip forward by one frame on roll over (frame = frame+1), and opposite on roll off but it does not appear to work - i think it may be much more complicated than this.
I need to play forwards/backwards to target frame(or second) on my videoPlayer when I push a button. How would I do this?
Not sure how to tween the seek() property. I have TweenLite, which normally works great! But just not sure how to do it here..
I've made the outline of a site in AS3, on one of the pages it has an area that shows some text and images. If you click on the right arrow, the current info flys off to the left and the new info comes on from the right. This is done by just having a movie clip with a load of stops and code that says "absorbentInfo.play();" so it plays forward to the next bit of info.What I would like is a way to make it play backwards to the previous stop, so that it could cycle indefinitely either way.Code for the next button below.with the previous button.
Code: Select allnextButtonAbsorbent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, nextButtonAbsorbentOver);
nextButtonAbsorbent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, nextButtonAbsorbentOut);

I am trying to tell flash from within a movieclip to start playing a specific frame within the main timeline only after it has finished playing the movieclip backwards. I can get the movieclip to play backwards fine but it's getting the main timeline to start from frame 1 which doesn't work. I have the following code on the first frame of the movieclip (which is called video) but it doesn't seem to do anything.[code]
