Detect End Of GotoAndPlay And Play Another Section Of Timeline
Aug 19, 2010
I have a series of sections in the timeline and I'd like to use gotoandplay. How do I begin playback of another section of the timeline. Is there a way to detect the end of gotoandplay?
For example: 3 objects and 6 frames.
Each object has a animate in frame and an opposite animate out frame. At each frame the user can pick any of the three objects but if an object is already animated in then is must first play it's 2nd animate out frame. I need to detect the end of an animate out sequence to begin the first frame of the selected object.

I have a button that I would like to use with the basic actionscript as follows:
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("15");
}
What I would like it to do is play a section on the timeline and then move onto another section or scene.
[Code]....
I know this is incorrect, so would anyone know how to write an actionscript button that plays a section then goes somewhere else?

Is it possible to test only a section of animation in a timeline? I'm trying to refine the last bit of animation at the end, and would prefer not to watch it all from the beginning again.

I want to clean up my main timeline by breaking it into 3 sections and putting each section into its own clip. My main timeline is then only 3 frames long with one clip on each frame. Of course, trouble is, the main timeline doesn�t wait for the first clip to play before progressing to the second. Do I need some code in the second main timeline frame to tell it to wait til the first clip has finished?

It there any way of displaying videos on a website that would allow me to show just a clip of a video without physically slicing the file into actual clips? Specifically, I'd like to play the clips using an open source flash player. I could make specific clips, but that is time consuming and a maintenance nightmare.youtube won't work because it is very important we be able to control who views these videos. Also, this web application is running off of a classic LAMP stack.

how, because I have lets say 5 transitions and each swf has an intro and an outro, and I want to make it so if you click lets say wallpapers, theres a little loader at the bottom right of the screen that preloads the wallpaper transition, without yet playing the outro of the current transition your in (home lets say), Is it possible to script it so that when flash detects that wallpaper transition has fully preloaded it will play the "outro" part of home and than play the intro part of wallpapers to create a seamless transition

stop();
name_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, enterMovie);
function enterMovie(myEvent:MouseEvent):void{

I am looking for an actionscript that will go to a certain frame in the timeline, play several frames and then jump to another frame in the timeline. Basically, I want to use this on several different buttons that use the same animation sequence to get to another part of the timeline.
The following is a scenario, but not script:
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animation is on Frames 2-20:
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 21.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20, then go to Frame 22.
I am currently doing this in a different way.
Buttons A and B are on Frame 1. Animations for Buttons A and B are the same, but are located on different frames. Animations for Button A would be on Frames 2-20. Animations for Button B would be on Frames 21-39. So...
When Button A is pressed, go to Frame 2. Play Frames 2-20 and stop on Frame 20.
When Button B is pressed, go to Frame 21. Play frames 21-39 and stop on Frame 39.
Do I have to create this extra timeline? Can I just put the animation in a separate movie? How can I play the movie and then connect each button to different parts of the timeline after the movie ends?

I am trying to use a button on frame 1 to go to a movie clip that is on frame 1018 ( i put the movie clip on the main timeline on frame 1018)
so main(root) --> 1018 --> shipattack_mc ---> "endtest"
I have tried using these commands and a few variations of the same thing. _parent this.
shipattack.gotoAndPlay('endtest")
gotoAndPlay("endtest")
My main timeline ends at 1018 with a stop() and the movieclip "shipattack_mc" plays out its 1000 or so frames. I am testing some things towards the end of the shipattack and want a button to skip to the end.

I have a main timline with MCs in it. when the MC gets to the last frame, there's an onEnterFrame event telling the main timline to go back to frame 129 (labled "b1") and play.
I got the MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1"); part added to my function to call the root. however, when I test the movie, it does everything correct except play. it goes to b1 and stops. here's my as3:
code: this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,goBack);
function goBack(e:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("b1");
}
why it won't play? I've tried using just the frame number and that won't help either. there's nothing else on the main timeline to stop the movie...

I`m a AS2 user, having a few problems getting adjusted to AS 3. What I want to do: In my stage I have 3 movieclips:
- Intro (frame 1)
- Main (2)
- End (3)
In the movieclip Intro i show some pictures etc, when it comes to the end, i want to go to the 2nd frame on the MAIN timeline. This used to be _root.gotoAndPlay("main"); using the hierarchy allways starting from _root or _level0. or _parent... I have tried searching but am not sure how to lookup this problem. I would be really happy if someone could post me a link how to address movieclips through other movieclips or starting from the root in AS3 and for the right code to use the function gotoAndPlay to go 1 frame further in the main timeline.

I am working on a site that involves a dropdown gallery menu. I have placed four buttons inside the dropdown menu and it works only with the geturl function, but i want it to gotoAndPlay a particular frame outside of the movie clip. is that possible? Here is the link. TJ2 Studios
Im sorry if i am not clear. My actionscript is coming along very slowly. I created a dropdown menu inside a button. This button is supposed to gotoAndPlay frame 365 outside of the mc i created within that button, ie on the main timeline. But it does not work. However when put the script getURL it goes to the site i commanded.

what im doing is showing different photo sets on the same timeline for my site. so i thought i would have each photoset on a frame and each frame has the stop function on it to keep it from playing them all. so i have a button saying "set 1" and when you click that its supposed to play frame 5. code on the button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(7);
}
(set one is on frame 7) but this doesnt work i dont get it. whats wrong? is there a better way to do this?

I had the idea of a circular menu, and when the user clicks on a menu item, that one rotates to the top, and becomes highlighted (hopefully with easing). I've searched around here for reversing timelines, etc. but can only find ones that go to the next set frame.How do I get it to skip past the menu items in between? For example if #1 is at the top and I click on #4, I want it to skip past #2 and #3.

After my MovieClip has finished playing once (and ended on the last frame with stop()), I can't get it to play again with gotoAndPlay(x). It will go the specified frame, but will not play from then on. Is there anything else I have to add to actually make it play?my attached sample file which contains a menu that, for testing purposes, is supposed to play someMovieClips when the initial loading process is done.

I have a ten-frame Flash doc. Seven of these frames have movie clips. What I want to do is be able to have a user navigate to another frame in the main timeline by clicking a button at the end of each movieclip.
I'm using this code:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1",6);
}
[Code]....
And I"m not getting errors but it's not working when I launch the movie.

I'm taking a class on Flash right now but its set up in this strange manner where they barely teach you actionscript at all but expect you to be able to take the examples in class and work and amend them into your projects. I am trying to write a function for a button that will gotoAndPlay one frame beyond where the timeline presently is stopped at.
