Flash CS4: Have Movie Return To Certain Frame When Finished
Dec 11, 2009
I have a short Flash movie I made in Flash CS4. I figured out how to make the movie stop at the end so it won't loop forever, and I have a Replay button that appears and restarts the movie. But my directives have changed and I now need to know how to make the movie -- when it ends -- automatically go to and stop on frame 22 of the movie and also have that Replay button then appear when it does stop on frame 22. (Frame 1 through 22 is a gradual fade-in to the first scene, that's why I don't want the replay button to appear on frame 1).

I have a opening movieclip that starts playing for my background and then I have two buttons that come up on moues over event, that if clicked on start one of my two longer Movie Clips that I have as progressive download through a flvplayer on Key frame 2 & 3. I have all that working but I want it to go back to the start or keyframe 1 when the clip is done playing so I can use the same opening menu to click on the second movie clip can some one give me any tips on how to get to go back to the start when the movie is done.
I have a movieclip in frame 1 doing an animation. I would like to use a listener to determine when the movie clip is finished then move to the next frame.
what happens is I have a movie that play out to a lets say frame 299 then 3 buttons will show up on the stage. now when I press button 1 it will start playing a movie starting on frame 300. How can I direct that movie to go back to frame 299 once it is finished playing so I can choose a different button?I know I can add another button at the final frame to do that but I'm not sure if I want to go that route.
My swf/exe has two buttons: Song and Story. It's a childrens book with two MP3s embedded.When you click on the buttons it goes to the respective "frame label" and plays the movie clips instantiated on the stage named "storybookSong" and "storybook".What I want to do, is when either the storybookSong or storybook movie clips finish I'd like the movie to return to the first parent frame of the movie, labeled "Home".Here's the code that I've tried.
Code: stop(); function moleNav(event:MouseEvent):void{[code]....
This is located on the first frame of the swf/exe (outside the mcs themselves).
How do you return to a specified frame if the movie is idle for 2 minutes? I have a interactive flash movie that is playing on a touch screen. I want to return to a certain frame if no one has touched it in 2 minutes.
I have an splash page with a movie that plays, after the movie is finished I want it to redirect you to the home page. The movie is sitting on 1 frame in the timeline. Is there a way to have it redirect after the movie is finished playing? onEnterFrame = function() { getURL("[URL]"); } does not work. It is a dynamic site so there is no <head> tag I can put an HTML redirect in. I need to be able to do it through flash.
Is it possible to set a listener or something like it to run a function once the flash movie itself has finished loading?So something like:When this flash movie has finished loading, activate function.Btw. I'm not trying to do this with a swf file loaded into another flash movie. I need this to be done by the movie once it self has finished loading.
I want the simple movie to load the URL(home page) after it's finished. so i tried to add getURL("[URL]" , "_blank"); at the end of movie, but i keep getting errors.. this is the website that i'm working on LINK It's a very simple. i'm not even going to dare to make it fancier. I just want the movie to be over and go straight to the home page without any clicks.. i tried to put the geturl thingy at the last movie clip(Imagine tomorrow) and i tried to put it at the end of the keyline.. neither seem to work. i'm sure it's very easy one, but it just doesn't work.
I'm using the same code I always use for preloading another swf but it's not working this time. The problem this time is that when the loading bar gets to 16% every time you can hear the movie I'm loading playing in the background. I can just add a stop to the first frame of the movie I'm loading ("trial_1.swf") but how do I tell it to go to the second frame once it has loaded?
Here's my code:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest ("trial_1.swf"); var myloader:Loader = new Loader(); myloader.load(myrequest);
I'm incorporating Flash for the first in my site [URL] it should a simple navigation but it has had me stuck for a while. I would like users to click any button on the stage (listed or thumbnails) and open a MC, then close the MC, using a close button , then return to Scene One, which is frame labeled "home".
I am able to successfully open and close the Movieclip but I am not directed back Scene One. When the MC closes, the thumbnail buttons are inactive.
Here is some sample code from The last frame of the MC actions.
stop(); closeVogue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickVogue); function onClickVogue(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop("home"); }
I need to create a splash page type thing. It needs to play a flash movie and then when that movie has finished show a full screen image using html/js. THe movie will be flash and the image display will be javascript powered.
The first Scene of my movie has a video that is streaming on frame one what i would like to have happen is once that video is completed then the flash takes you to the next scene of a specific frame Number.
So I've got some script in which I fade in a couple movie clips using the transition manager class. These mc's are buttons but I want it to finish the transition before it enables the button features. Here is my code so far:
I have created a racing game and over all i got 3 frames and about 10 main layers Anyway, i have tried so many scripts now and they're not working The game begins on frame 2 while the main menu is on frame 1. Not sure if it matters but i have the menu copied on all the frame 1's of all the layers...

I am using actionscript 2 and I am trying to get my FLV to jump another frame in my flash movie after it's finished playing. I am using the FLV component that comes in flash to play the FLV and i've embedded an event cue point in the FLV but I am not sure what I am now supposed to do!
The problem I have is that I have created a Movie clip of an animated logo. The timeline within the movieclip contains 163 frames.
I have placed the movie clip on the main timeline at frame 1. What I would like to happen is the movie clip to the play all the way through and then move to the next frame (frame 2) of the main timeline to continue the animation. the next frame has a frame label, named 'main'. I have split the timeline up into sections as I am created a webpage.
There must be a pretty straight forward Actionscript code to do this, I have come across some things but they dont seem to make much sense to me. I am pretty good at the drawing and animation side of things in flash but I complete newbie when it comes to the Actionscript code.
I have this code in frame 1 [code]In frame 2 the animation/flash application starts.The preloader works fine BUT when it gets to frame 2 it stops. I cannot get it to start. I think it is a simple issue but I cannot see it.
In a game I'm creating, the only last part I have left is to create a timer. Or a countdown to be precise. But I get thrown an error when I go to the next frame when the timer is finished.
[Code]...
There must be a way that works so that flash will "gotoAndStop(2);" after 3 minutes?
anyone can offer me a way of housing an XML return in a seperate object, so that the flash movie in question doesn't hang around waiting for the feed to come back.The problem is we have an asp app which is returning the status of about 1000 citrix terminals at once.... while this only takes 10-15 seconds to return, any kind of animated loader i build into the movie, stops playing while flash holds on the XML return, as the http response status never responds dead, but says "waiting" instead.Any kind of way of adding the XML load script as an object listener maybe...?
I have a button in frame 20. This button attached a script to go to frame 1. How do I add a script to this button or any other way so that I can know it was from frame 20 when I am in frame 1 ?
I'm not sure exactly what's going on here (maybe I'm not understanding how the timeline executes?).
I have a game that has the menu in the first frame, the game in later frames. When the game is won, the user is able to click to return to the menu. Using trace(), I've found that the click reads, and it starts to execute the actions that have been written in the 1st frame. But, when it gets to the line that adds an event listener to a button on the stage using solo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goSolo) (solo is the name of the button on the screen), it returns:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
The line executes just fine when the whole thing initializes, so I don't know why it's not working when it restarts. Is the code getting read before the stage is populating when I return the user to the main menu using gotoAndPlay(1) from the click listener? It doesn't make a difference if I use gotoAndStop(1). What's a good workaround?
Or is it because the button is in a layer lower than the actions? (I've always put my actions in the highest layer, and don't remember ever having this problem before). But why then would it still work at the very beginning but not with the restart?
