Any Way To Control Timeline Forward And Rewind?
Jul 2, 2008
What I need its a way to control my timeline forward and rewind. To make it easy to explain I will make a example: Imagine that you have a movie (cars crossing a street - with trucks and buses too). Sometimes there is just cars on the street, sometimes just trucks. I should paste this movie into my timeline(like image sequence), in the background of my application. In other layer will be informations, in this example, about trucks and cars. Till this point ok. But I need to make the movie go to the frame that I choose to be the image of the movie that only have cars.
Okay ... this is in frame 15 of the movie. Then I click a button and go to show trucks info. I click and go to frame 30... at this point ok too. But now I click again to see about cars. Its in frame 15 and I don't want to "JUMP" (like gotoandstop)... I want the movie rewinds (in the speed that it plays) till I get frame 15. How do I control the timeline like this? (There will be at least 6 points in this movie that i want to stop by. And this movie begins stopped.)

Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function (){
play();
[code].....

I am having a fair amount of trouble trying to control prevFrame on the timeline, with a play/rewind type motion. Basically, what I want to do is navigate between 3 keyframes on the timeline with 'next' and 'prev' buttons controlling it. I have no problem navigating forward, but when the previous button is pressed on the last keyframe, it just rewinds to the first keyframe. I have stop(); commands on each keyframe, but it seems to skip over the second keyframe when rewinding. The buttons are present throughout the length of the timeline. Here are my actions for the first frame;

I am building a video player and would like to have a forward and rewind button. I was looking at tutorials and it seems like none of them have this. Is there a reason for this?

I have a Flash animation (AS2) that contains a background audio file. I've been asked to add controls to it. So far, I have added buttons to pause/play the animation and stop and start both the root timeline and the attached mp3 audio. I also need to add a reverse button. I've seen tutorials that are enable reversing of the timeline's playhead. Is there a way to have the audio file reverse as well?

I have 10 keyframes in my movie. Each keyframe has stop(); and an MC with a piece of animation inside, and at the end of each MC, there is a _root.nextFrame();lay and Pause buttons work, but rewind and forward do not work. It works, if I export individual MC's, but I really need it to work, so that they can control the rewind and forward, by going into the MC's first.To conclude: I think the problem is, that the code must know that it must control the animation inside a corresponding MC, and not on the main timeline (like it is programmed to originally) - but how? Which codes do I alter to my own needs? Or am I placing my code at the wrong place? (inside the MC vs. outside). Should I also giv my MC's unique instance names?

I'm using CS4 with AS3 and have a little problem with my rewind and forward buttons. For the play and stop buttons it works fine with this script:
playButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playButtonClick);
function playButtonClick (e:MouseEvent):void
{
play();
[Code]....
I get error messages.
All I need is to rewind and forward the movie about 50 frames and keep playing without stopping.

If I have a main SWF movie, in which I load external SWF files, and in that main SWF movie I have a scrubber bar, to control the loaded movies, do those movies have to have all their animation in the timeline?How do I use a scrubber bar to rewind or move forward animations created by actionscript or nested within movieclips? Is this even possible?

I googled "as3 audio slow motion fast forward rewind" and found only this of relevance: playing slow motion, fast forward , rewind in a video player in flash video player, which briefly talks about how to fast forward and rewind a video as well as two options for doing slow motion on video. I only need audio, though. I think I might be able to do fast forward and rewind by stopping the SoundChannel and then playing the sound at a different position using addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, ~), but I'm completely lost on how to apply the advice regarding slow motion. I use Flash CS5.5 and all the sounds I want to operate on are already in the library.

I'm loading an external .swf using the following code:
voiceover = new Sound ();voiceover.loadSound("Audio/Test.mp3", true);
The audio plays fine. My question is how can I create a pause, resume, rewind, or fast forward button for an external mp3?

I was looking for a way to create play, stop, rewind and fast forward buttons for an animation I created in Flash. I found a nice description at republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/controller_bc/, but after trying the code for stop and play I get the error: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static fl.controls:button.
stop();
play_btn.onRelease=function (){
play();

I am doing a postcard flip and would like to rewind my timeline when a button is released. I tried to modify the complexbutton but didn't really get the effect that I was after.
What I am trying to do 1) when the movie opens, I have an arrow to the right, what I want to happen is, when it is clicked, the movie plays and stops at the last frame, easy enough.
2)When the movie is on the last frame there is another button, and when that one is clicked, I want thee movie to reverse. It can't be that hard, can it?

I am using the following code to perform a rewind on the timeline when a button is pressed:On the REWIND button:
Code:
on(release){
rewState = true;[code].....
My question is, can I limit the rewind feature to just 12 frames at a time? Right now it rewinds back to the beginning, totally skipping all the stop(); commands on the timeline. I've tried for, do, and while loops in various places (one nearly froze my computer up!) with no luck.
update: I've added the following to the code so the user can at least stop the rewinding:
Code:
on(rollOver){
rewState = true;
}[code]....
but the thing moves forward in 12frame intervals.It is wierd having it move in reverse freely like this. So I am still looking for a way to get it to move the timeline backwards in 12 frame intervals...

I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote:
ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code:
stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below
this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....

i have some script that i am using to play an mc timeline on rollover and rewind the mc on rollout, but my problem is that i want to add an onRelease action that takes the mc to an specific frame within the mc. thing is that the onRollout action cancels out the onRelease action and rewinds the mc regardless. this is the script that i have on the first frame of the mc

I use attachMovie to call movie clips succesively on the stage. I use a forward button to slide them in progression but when I want to go back in the same order everything gets messed up. You can see the swf playing here, [URL]..I numbered each frame so you can see when clicking on back button it gets messed up.
// Each of the button functions here call the add_page() function and pass the Identifier of the page that they will display b_0.onRelease = function() {

I have an animation of a rotating 3d object, and I'm playing it backward and forward through simple nextFrame() and prevFrame() actions inside an onEnterFrame event.Everything seems to work, the only technical problem is that if I go backward, the animation is not as smooth as if I went forward. I understand that a prevFrame action is 'less natural' than a nextFrame.. but does anyone know how I could fix it?

Im trying to produce my online portfolio but for that i need to play movieclips backward and forward to various frame numbers.I found a very good script (as2) and it works great in the main timeline but inside a mc it doesnt work at all. this is the script
1. Call to Action Create an actionscript layer that extends the full length of your movie. In that layer, include the following actionscript:
function Movement() {
if (_root._currentframe > _root.mytarget){
prevFrame();
[code]....
Using the code above, the movie will play either backwards or forwards to the desired destination.As i said before this script is great but it doesnt work inside an mc.

Background: I have a slider / scrubber that works well and controls the timeline of a movieclip both forward and backward.Lets say I have a movieclip of a lightbulb onstage that starts in a turned off state. When the movieclip plays through normally I have frame based actionscript to toggle a lightbulb movieclip to _on.

I have a straight forward frame-by-frame animation with play and stop buttons. I want to create a fast forward button that will play (for example) every third frame until it is clicked again. Or, perhaps, until the stop button is clicked. This seems a simple task, fast forwarding FLVs, etc.
