What I'd like to know is that if I could set up a eventlistener to wait until the MovieClip has reached the final frame, then fire a function.
Solution:
In the last frame of the MovieClip timeline:Code: Select all dispatchEvent(new Event("EventName"));
In the main timeline/class:Code: Select allMovieClip.addEventListener("EventName", FunctionName);
basically i want this function to only be called after the 'animation'. when the hero dies hero.play() is called and this plays the death animation for the hero, i then called gameOver() which brings up a menu, but i only want the gameOver function to be called if the hero.play() animation is completed.
View 9 RepliesI downloaded a free fla file open source for pageflip. It uses a global function which is this:
_global.mcnt = 0; //counter (used on a page where is an animation).
So now I want to put an animation in a page and i assume that i have to call or use this function. the problem is that i don't know how.
I hope I won't sound like an idiot, but this is my problem - I imported an SWF video file, it's an instance of FLVPlayback, named the instance 'video'. I need to invoke some method when the video playback is completed. So the question is - how can I do something when FLVPlayback ends? Using Flash CS 5.5, actionscript
Code I use:
video.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, playbackComplete);
function playbackComplete(event:VideoEvent):void

i have a animation on loop but it does not give the desired effect. is there some code to tell it to start before it finishes.something like at frame 300 start.

i've got a function in a movieclip on the main timeline that i need to call when a button in another movieclip is clicked. is there a way to do this in as3?
View 3 RepliesThis is hard to explain, but basically here goes: have a "frame" movieclip that loads images. I call frame.loadImage(the URL) and everything works. So far so good.When I put "frame" inside of another clip, named "frameHolder", then call frameHolder.frame.loadImage, nothing happens.

View 2 RepliesOn my stage is a MovieClip called Box and a MovieClip called InfoBox. InfoBox has a fucntion called setInfo. Box, when clicked (It is a MovieClip, not a button), wants to call the setInfo function of InfoBox.
I tried using the following code in Box:
MovieClip(this.parent).InfoBox.setInfo();
This produced the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@34a8ef99 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at Box/infoBox()
What is proper way to call a function in a sibling MovieClip?

I am trying to call a function from my main class which is part of a MovieClip.

how do you call a function that is inside another movieclip?Do global functions have to be declared on the root? I'm trying to do a very simple thing, take the grid tutorial and apply it as a mask to an image. Everything works ok, now I would like to call the function that makes the grid after the pic has loaded.
So I have on the root:
mc_picholder
mc_boxholder <---This mc contains the function that makes little boxes
I can assign the mc_boxholder as a mask to the mc_picholder and this works fine. Now say I have a function in mc_boxholder called makeboxes(), and I want to call it from the root once a pic has finished loading into mc_picholder.All the functions to make the boxes are inside the mc_boxholder. I've tried declaring makeboxes as global, and calling it from the root, doesn't work.I've tried tried writing from root: mx_boxholder.makeboxes(), doesn't work either.....
I'm making a site that loads external swfs based on which button is clicked. When the swf loads it plays an intro and then stops at a certain point. My goal is that when you click another button the current swf plays an outro before the next one loads.The problem I'm having is making the outgoing movie trigger the function that loads the next.At first I tried just adding loadNextMovie(); to the last frame of the loaded swf. But for some reason this causes the two stops in the file from working so the thing just keeps looping. I have no idea why adding this function call would prevent stop(); from working.Is there another way to have the end of movie trigger the function? Also, why doesn't adding loadNextMovie(); to the last frame of the loaded swf work?
