I am new to Flash and want to create a movie that has the classic "Click to Play" over a thumbanil of frame from the movie.
View 3 RepliesA while ago, I created a replacement shell to run as a front end for a cybercafe. It was nothing fancy; just a flash movie that had button links to IE and a few trusted applications.
I'm trying to develop it further now and am wondering two things:
1. Is it possible to send an application to a frame within a movie? For example, have a static movie at the top with links, then when a button is pressed, the menu remains but the application opens below without overlapping. I know I can use HTML and frames but really want to keep it all in one movie/swf.
2. Is it possible to build on the above and have some sort of application lister that will allow you to switch between the two applications you have running. For example, a user may open IE, then open Word. Word has now replaced IE and I want the user to have a simple click button to go back to an existing window rather than open another instance from the menu.
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 1 RepliesFlash CS4/Actionscript 3 I am trying to create a section for a site where mousing over a button will play a certain frame of a movie clip, which is sitting next to the button. Mousing over different buttons will play (and stop) different frames in the movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI working on the timeline and have some Actionscript 3 code (I have a actions layer on the timeline). I am not sure what the code is for clicking on a button(I made the buttons movie clips since I wanted to animate it) and it plays a movie clip.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to configure a flash SWF so that it not only is transparent, but also let's users click through to the HTML below?
The scenario: Imagine a horizontal drop down menu. That menu is a transparent SWF. For it to have a drop down I need to set the movie dimensions for something like width: 1000px; height: 250px; Those 250px will overlap an html slider. Users won't be able to click the slider because the flash movie has a higher z-index.
I would like to know how to make it so when you click a button, it goes to a different frame within a MOVIE CLIP. Kind of like gotoAndPlay but not a frame in the timeline. I would like it to move to a different frame in a movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a flash movie that scrolls images on a button click. I have done this successfully but the issue I am having is making it so after a given time it would fire of the function - to self animate.
View 3 RepliesI have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
[Code]....
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".
i created a two layer in time line in one layer there is a movieclip called mc1. In the same layer in 15th frame i have another movie clip mc2. Inside the movieclip mc2 i created another movie clip at frame10 now if i clik the the mc1 on first frame The movie clip should goto and stop at tenth frame
View 4 RepliesI have four movie clips (.f4v) in 4 frames in a movie with watch buttons.. This movie has them been imported into a main movie container that has next and previous buttons. However if i play a movie then hit next frame, the movie continues to play in the background. The code below shows one of the actionscripts for a movie clip and then the main actionscript in the main movie.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a character, And in its movieclip I`ve got 3 frames (first has an idle pose, second a walking pose and third a running pose), each with a movieclip with an action in it.Well, what I wanted is that when I am walking with this character, and press the SHIFT key he runs.And I`ve got the following code
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))[code]....
But when I click the shift button, he shows the first frame static of the movie clip in frame 3 (running frame).
I'm trying to create a rotating tab on a timer. [URL] Something like that. Is there any way to create something in flash so that typically, the above sequence will just loop but visitors to my site will have the option of clicking and viewing one individual tab?
View 7 RepliesI want to create a "replay" button on the last frame of my movie but it's not working.
Here's what I did.
1. I created a layer named "Actions" and in my last frame (frame 900) I created a "Stop" action.
2. I then created a button and saved it to my Library.
3. I then created a new layer named "Replay Btn" and created a keyframe in the last frame of the movie (frame 900). I then dragged the button onto the stage so it was in the last keyframe (frame 900) and made it into a button Symbol.
4. In the Properties Inspector I then typed in an "instance" name of "replay".
5. Then in the layer named "Replay Btn" I selected the last frame of my movie (frame 900) and added a keyframe in the same layer as my button. I then opened the "Actions" panel and entered this code.
replay.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
6. I then did a "Publish Preview" of the movie and got this error:
"Warning 1090: Migration Issue: The onRelease event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in Actionscript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ('click', callback_handler) In Actionscript 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. select a frame or use the code snippets panel to apply code to the current selection on stage."
I understand that I must select the layer and "right-click" to add an action instead of selecting the object on the stage, but I guess I'm just not sure how to get the "Replay" button to work in CS5. I've watched a couple of tutorials but they weren't done very well and were really hard to understand. I just want to create a button to replay the movie.
how to code this on a button
onrelease
gotoandplay(10); // i need delay here before activating the next code below//
gotoandplay(80);
the trick is.. i want the button to play frame 10 to 40 then after playing from frame 10-40 the movie stops and then play frame 80 to 100
I am creating a site, and it has a animation that it has to play before loading the next section. What I cant figure out is what function I need to create so that when a user clicks on the vision button it will play the frame after stop(); which will close that section, then have it load the frame for the section that the person clicked on. The only way I can think of doing this is creating 3 different close animations for the three sections. But I figure there has to be a way to have it play the one close animation and then goto the frame which is the portfolio section or vision section (depending on the button clicked).

View 1 RepliesSo I haven't done much in flash in a while. However, I imported a new movie and then published the movie from flash and made an html page as well. For some reason I can not see the movie when I go to the page.
[Code]...
I just want to play and stop my movie on a key click.I don't want to have the drop menu open and have the user click 'play'. Isn't there some way they can just press any key and the animation will progress forward?
View 4 RepliesI need to create a script that will jump to a certain frame in the scene when a movie cilp reaches its last frame. Putting a goto... within the MC itself doesn't work. I assume that I need to create a listener of some sort....I haven't been able to find what I need in any documentation (and I'm even been looking through AS dictionaries going back to Flash 4).
View 1 RepliesI bought Macromedia Flash because I took course in Flash about 8 years ago. So,when I was asked by my company's CEO to take a presentation and turn it into a "flash movie" I said, "sure I can do that". Well, I did do it, and it plays fine on the workstation that I created it on with "Macromedia Flash Player 8. However, no one else can get it to play except by opening it with a browser, which is not really ideal for our proposed usage. Is there some sort of desktop player still available that would allow someone (like a sales guy) to just double click on an icon and play this movie? Or is there some sort of way that i can update the movie so there is a desktop player to launch it?
View 2 RepliesI am migrating from Flash MX to Flash CS5 Pro. Is there a way to load a movie into the flash player and play it to a viewer without installing the adobe server software and the price that goes with it? Is there a way to just have the movie file stored on the server and just get the flash player to call the file and buffer it?

View 13 RepliesI am trying to make buttons that play a movie then go to the page.
I want you to be able to click on the button (bottle) and then the motion tween play out and then when its finished direct you to the desired page.
I posted the code above that I used to get the button to play out on click, but I cannot get the code right to get it to redirect to a different page or url right after the movie plays?

View 3 RepliesI have been using flash for a while, but AS3 is a whole new world to me.
I simply want to have a movie (box1) to play when a button (btn1) is clicked.
NOTE: The button is within a movie clip (bulb1) which is within another movie clip (trees).
I tried this, but it just kept replaying the whole animation:
Code:
btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick( event:MouseEvent):void
{
box1.play();
}
Actionscript 3 ---- Looking to have a movie clip and 2 buttons. Click the right button to make the movie clip go to the right, left button to make it go left (play backwards in the timeline) Currently the movie clip is set up as a 90 frame animation that moves across the stage on a motion tween. The right button just makes the movie clip play, so I'm looking to make my left button play that timeline in reverse. I've found lots of examples for AS2 online, but none for AS3......

View 2 RepliesI'm kind of a flash newbie, and I need some help with AS2 in Macromedia Flash 8. I want to make it so that when you click the mouse, it plays a certain movie clip at the current mouse position, without the movie clip actually being on the stage.
