Actionscript 3.0 :: Play Movieclip With A Button

Apr 17, 2010

I have a simple actionscript 3 problem I cant solve. Basically I have a movieclip, with inside it an imported FLV on the timeline. I placed the Movieclip on the stage with an instance name "animation" and next to it a button with an instance name of "btn_1", that will activate the movieclip to start playing when you hover over it. I figured that it should be something like this.

Code: Select all
btn_1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , btn_1_ROLLOVER);
function btn_1_ROLLOVER (e:MouseEvent):void
{
play the movieclip here
}

I tried a load of different codes trying to get this work, but I can't get it done. Can anyone help me out with this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Code Play MovieClip Within A MovieClip?

Jun 18, 2010

Can a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}

[Code]...

All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.

Flash 8 :: Simple Button Navigation - Play / Pause MovieClip

Apr 15, 2010

I have a movieclip within the main clip called "playPause" which starts with the Pause button shown. When clicked the movie clip moves to show the play button and pauses the current parent movie with the AS "_parent.stop();" when the play button is then pressed the movie plays via "_parent.play();" and reverts back to showing the pause button.

Simple so far. What is getting me is if I add a movie clip within the parent (say some scrolling object) I cannot get the added clip to pause. For example say the "parent" movie clip the playPause moveclip is within is called "intro" and the moving object is called "introObject" which is embedded in a frame along with "playPause"

What I have setup for the playPause buttons is for pausing
_root.introObject.stop();
and playing
_root.introObject.play();

I need the "test2" file to load the "ball_mc" file and then I should be able to play and pause the ball as it runs across the screen. I think I need it to be a swf file also, but Flashkit won't let me upload that type of file.

Flash :: Switching Child MovieClip Play Now/Now Playing Button

Nov 7, 2011

Is there an easy way to switch out a movieClip for another dynamically loaded movieClip?

I have and eventListener onCLICK that when selected it starts an FLVPlayback but I would also like to swap out with another movieClip Play Now / Now Playing button.

Just some background. I am looping and loading a play button jpg's into one movie clip and assigning an incremental number as a name to the play button movie clip. On Click that play button plays a movie but now I would also like to switch the play button graphic to a playing now graphic.

//ADD EVENT LISTENER TO ALL MY THUMBS_BUTTON
thumbs_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideoThumb);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < my_total; i++) {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button Inside Movieclip Play Out And Return To Menu?

Feb 1, 2011

So, in my base flash file I have movieclips playing inside of a container.

They are cued from external .swf files.

When one is pushed another checks to see if that movie is at its "midframe" and then plays the remainder of that movie before playing the movie that was pushed.

ALL OF THIS, works fine. The problems is that I have a button inside of these movieclips that I need to play the remainder of the movie to then return to the main menu.

This is the code on the buttons which cycle through the movieclips:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "illustration";
container.loadMovie(illustration);

[Code].....

If I wanted the movie to only return to to the main menu I could use this code, but it's flawed for two reasons:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

a. This doesn't play the rest of the movie before returning to the main menu.
b. Once it returns you to the main menu, none of the other movies will play again.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Button To Play MovieClip Animation - Current Frame

Mar 19, 2005

I've got a button that tells a movie clip to play its animation (goto and play frame 2), but I only want it to play that frame if the current frame is frame 1 - meaning that I don't want people to be able to keep clicking the button while the clip is playing and have the clip restart.

I'm guessing it would be something like:
If ( current frame is frame 1 ) { goto and play frame 2 }
But I can't seem to get it to work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Button Do Two Things / Play A Movieclip And Goto Frame

Aug 27, 2005

What im trying to do is play a movie clip between frames. So say we have two menus, when you are on menu 1 and you click the button for menu 2, a short movie clip plays and then you stop on menu 2. I realise I can do this by putting the movie clip on the main scene timeline, but is there anyway i can put it on the button? I think the action script would be something along the lines of "On release play MovieClip and goto frame X" As i said i want the movie to play as an almost filmic transition between menus, with a fade up and then out (Have got that bit sussed using the alpha controls)

I Have a flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).

It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?

I am trying to make a swf with one FLV playback player and 6 buttons. I've got 6 different videofiles that I want to have linked to this swf. Some of the videos are quit large.When starting the Swf, the first video has to start, after playing it, it has to stop. Then you must be able to choose which video to play by clicking one of the buttons. I don't want to have small thumbnails of the video, just plain and simple buttons.I have to have all my files, both fla, swf and xml files in the same directory (I cannot have them stored in different folders, since I have to upload this to a cms system which has limited upload properties).
 
I've tried to find the right script on the internet, I'm not very good at scripting myselve, actually rather poor educated there.It seems to me that I have to make an xml file with a list of all my videos, I have my default swf ready, with a FLVplayback and buttons.Now there's just the coding part....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Play / Stop Button - Current Audio File To Play The Next One

Feb 27, 2012

I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?

[Code]...
