I want to play a short movie clip at the begining of this flash game. I'm not sure what is the best way to go about doing this. I was thinking to create the clip on its own seperate layers and then just move my action script keyframe that contains all the code for the game after all the frames needed for the clip to play. Or do i need to make it a seperate .fla and just import it, i'm not sure how to do it.
View 3 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...
View 7 RepliesI would like play head of a movie clip to return to a certain frame of that clip so a MC inside it would loop. I now have: stop(); as the action.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a game in which the user gets three wrong answers, and the fourth wrong answer ends the game. Each wrong answer is shown as a child movie clip getting attached to a parent in one of 3 movie clips on the stage.When all 3 movie clips have child clips attached, and a 4th child clip tries to get attached, the game ends. Anybody know how to write a script for this?
View 1 RepliesI have a flash banner that includes a movie clip of the logo being animated. I want the logo animation to only run at the beginning of the main "movie". Currently I have to find the length of the entire movie (for ex. 500 frames) then put a key frame in at the 500th frame of the logo movie clip. I know there has to be a correct way to do this...Do I add a frame name at the end of the main timeline and somehow in AS in the logo movie clip say "when you reach X goToAndPlay(1);"?
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to play several movie clips, one after the other from one main movie clip.i've got 8 movie clips, "m1.swf", "m2.swf", etc. "m8.swf", and one main movie clip, "play.swf".i've tried using loadMovie, but it only plays the last movie clip. this is what i've got. in the main movie clip, i've put a play button, and the actionscript i have in the button is:
on(release)
{
this.loadMovie("m1.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m1.swf");[code]....
is this wrong? how can i get this to work correctly.
I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
I'm creating a game, here is a screenshot: I'm trying to implement a scene system in an easy way (I'm a beginner). In this tutorial the author adds scenes as movie clip. So I tried making a movie clip with action script export name the same as my main .as file. When I add it to the scene manually, dragging and dropping from the library, it works. But when I try adding it from a new starting .as file, I get a #1009 error. Adding a test movie clip with the same code works.

I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.

View 3 RepliesI have a drag and drop game where each movie clip is a word that the player has to arrange on screen in a certain order of importance - there is no snapping mechanism and the user can place the words anywhere desired.
Later in the game, I need this list of words to appear in the order that the player previously organized within a different scene.
This is an example code of how I set up the drag and drop game:
//Array to hold all the puzzle movie clip instances.
var burgerArr:Array = new Array (burger_mc, burger2_mc, burger3_mc,
burger4_mc, burger5_mc, burger6_mc, burger7_mc);

i have created a preloader and am wanting it to only play through twice and then stop so i can have it getURL to and load the rest of my site but it just repeats constantly.
Here's the FLA [URL]
i have a collection of movie clips (mc0, mc1, mc2...etc etc), and when motion is detected on a webcam, one of these clips is shown on the stage.however, for some reason only mc0, mc1 and mc2 are being displayed,and i cannot get mc3, mc4 or any others to be chosen.
Code:
import flash.filters.*

Truly basic question I know but I can't seem to find an answer elsewhere and you don't even want to know how long I've spent on this. I'm trying to create a button that plays a movie clip and stops when it's moused over. I've attached a file (.fla) that illustrates my problem. I'm working in CS4 Flash (not sure if that's the same as MX04?

View 1 RepliesHere's a simple one I'm sure but I can't get it to work or find a solution online.
I have a movie with 2 movie clips on the stage, the first clip is triggered to play on a button click (which works fine) but I want the 2nd clip to start playing when the first ends. I've tried putting MovieClip2.gotoAndPlay(1) script on the last frame of MovieClip1 but I get "1120: Access of undefined property".
I have this script to play a movie clip. What do I write to get it play in reverse?
function fadeUp(event:MouseEvent):void { buttonFadeOver_mc.play()
I am using Flash CS4 and i have made some short movie clips. I want one of them to play on frame 24 once and then the next on frame 48 ect. How would i do this?
View 3 RepliesI want something to slide off the screen when I click on it. I (think I) have it set so that when you click, the button itself disappears, and a movie clip of the object sliding away becomes visible and plays.
Code:
mcslide._visible=false;
slidebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);
function Click(ev:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The problem is that the movie clip will either skip right to the end and stop if I have a "stop();" put in at the last frame, or it will skip right to the end on the first play, but then loop correctly after that if there's no "stop();".

I have a simulation of a 3d rotation in a movie clip and what I want to do is on button press:
1) check to see if the movie clip is on a certain frame and if it is do nothing
2) if it is less than the 16th frame reverse the movie clip and play until it gets to a certain frame
3 if it is more than the 16th frame play until it gets to a certain frame

I bought the quiz from FlashDen and have been able to modify it pretty well except for the part in bold. I've added a movie clip that's suppose to play if the answer is right. I have a stop(); on the movie clip's first frame. I added a label to it's second frame called "coindrop".why the clip won't play?
I have a movie clip on my stage. I want a button to tell the movie to play

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.
[AS]on (rollOver) {
forside_movie.gotoAndPlay (1); // play movie forward
}
[Code].....
On looking into buttons, I understand that to get a movie clip to play when a button is clicked you simply place the movie clip on the buttons 'hit' state. Having done this it does not work? Have I read wrong? Also the movie clip has a background the full size of the stage area. So when I attach this to the button, the button changes size to the same size as the movie? (i.e. whole stage area). How do I keep the button in it's original size while still playing the movie clip with large background?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to have a random movie clip play as soon as my site loads, and when that one is done, I would like it to randomly choose another.I have 6 movie clips, I figure I will have to have the random script on frame 1 of my time line, and then I can just modify it to select another one on the last frame of each movie clip. However, I don't even know how to begin scripting this to happen. I have looked through these forums, and it seems like there are a lot of posts about this, but very few answers. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?I am using AS2.

I would like to have a control for the music to switch between each other in their current playtime. For example, let's say the 1st song movie clip is song1, the 2nd song movie clip is song2, when song1 is in frame 200, the control works in such that when i activate it, song2 will play in frame 200. I have made the control that switch from song1 to song2 in this way [code]...
