I have a movie that starts as the intro to the site. However, if it doesn't load quick enough, the rest of the site loads and cuts off the movie. How can I make the 2nd part play only after the 1st is completely finished?
View 2 Repliesi have a animation on loop but it does not give the desired effect. is there some code to tell it to start before it finishes.something like at frame 300 start.
View 1 RepliesI'm kinda new to Actionscript still and I found a code for an external movie (that's in an FLVPlayback component) to play in a container after a preloader - it can be seen here: [URL]..at the end of the intro clip, i want the site to go to another page automatically i'm having trouble because i think i'm supposed to use getURL, but i don't know how to tell it to go there only after the external movie is done. here is the code that controls the external movie:
HTML Code:
import mx.video.*;
stop();
this.attachMovie("FLVPlayback","my_FLVPlybk",{width:815, height:540, x:100, y:100});
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "http://www.stillpictureproduction.com/dynamic/stillPic.flv";
I have created a very basic preloader using flash components 'Loader' and 'ProgressBar". It's job is to load an external swf movie clip/file.
Problem: When the preloader has finished doing it's 'thing', i.e. reaches 100%, it loads/or seeming reveals the external movie already underway i.e. not at the first frame.
I've read a few posts from "Whispers", and have concluded that the problem is that the movie is streaming whilst being loaded. And also that i need to be using "init" in regards to 'listener'.
However i really want to be able to apply this to the code i am using it, as i had just kinda gotten to grips with it (the code).
Is anyone able to tell me what a need to alter to get the preloader to finish loading the movie COMPLETELY before it starts to play.
------------
myProgressBar.mode = "manual";
myProgressBar.setProgress(0, 100);
myProgressBar._visible = true;

I've got a 30 second movie which I would like to disappear after the movie ends, and replace it with a static photo.

View 2 RepliesI just followed the Preloader AS3 tut, and it works! Unlike the other sites
I have Flash CS4 AS3, and when the preloader is finished, it takes me to the end of my movie.
I'm a total beginner at this, since I've only been using Flash for about two days now , but I learn extremely fast !
In very simple terms, please explain how I can start the movie from the beginning when the preloader is done.
Also I had problems locating the URL to the swf. I kept getting "can't locate URL" when I inserted "bones.swf" for the URL request. I had to paste my files into the folder created in the tutorial for it to work. What is the difference between the folder I created and the one created in the tutorial that allowed AS to recognize the URL?
Here's my script:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("bones.swf"));

New to the forums, but was hoping I could get a quick hand.I have a preloader on frame 1 of my fla, and everything else comes in frame 2. When I use the simulate download setting when testing, once loading hits about 50%, the preloader disappears and the movie continues to frame 2. This causes a problem because flash then pauses and waits for the rest of the content.Could this be because I have movies nested in other movies? It usually pauses right at the point I have the menu mc tweening onto the stage. Is there a way to force the enitre movie to load at the beginning?

Im loading a .swf application (using IE or Firefox) from an Apache server. The application then communicates with a local java server via XMLsocket.
the aplication runs perfectly on local (even with apache)
but
from a remote server (applying policyfile) sometimes stops/pauses when receiving xmlsocket dataevent which is usually a small xml message. It screws up a bit the whole movie.
how to jump to a frame (gotoAndPlay) on the ROOT (or any frame anywhere) right after (EDIT) a VIDEO CLIP is done playing.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to remove a movieclip when the one inside of it finishes playing.
PHP Code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if (baddy.bad_die.currentFrame == baddy.bad_die.totalFrames){
removeMovieClip(baddy);
}
}
Like the description says. I have six buttons, I want it so when you click any of them the movie clip plays once then when it is finished a specific url loads.
on one of the buttons I have
Code:
on(release)
{
_root.vurl="index.html";

I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.
View 2 Repliessomehow I miraculously created a Flash movie and successfully uploaded it to a blog
here is the blog, the flash video is in the left column, top:
[URL]
you will see that the first frame of the movie is actually all white, with a logo/banner across the top
all I would like to do is skip over, or delete? those few frames in the beginning, and have the flash video display and start the movie from a different frame.
this is taking me DAYS to figure out....hours that I am not getting paid for....my client's video guy never returns her calls, and so I, the lowly graphics designer, am trying to figure this out.
SURELY there must be a simple way to tell the video:
"hey....skip over the first ____ frames, and start the video at frame 5______ (or whatever).
I'm in Flash CS3 and I know NOTHING about Flash and very very little about code
how you properly start a movie on a frame other than frame1. The simplest answer is to enter gotoAndPlay(2) in the actions panel of frame 1, however when I do that and embed it into a website, the movie starts on a randomly-selected frame every time I strike the refresh button in a browser.
I'm using Flash CS4 and obviously ActionScript 2. I'm embedding the SWF into an HTML document using Dreamweaver CS4. Standard code -- no modifications to whatever Dreamweaver throws in there to embed flash, other than I have the wmode set to Transparent and am Publishing the SWF accordingly. Could this be interfering somehow?
Is there a way via HTML I can have the movie start at a specific frame rather than upload another instance of the same SWF? I have multiple pages that all need the same flash but playing at different frames per page, and I'd rather not upload multiple instances of the SWF to achieve this. Then again, if it's the only way, I'll have at it.
i'm now doing a flash slide show of more thant 5 minute ...and i' now to 1.5 mitnute ...
And ofthen I generate the swf to see wath it's will done ... but each time I have to wait 1 minute to see the part I need.
I need script or something who will get the frame 1000 directly at the begening of the slide show...
Is it possible to test my movie/scene from a specific position in my movie?
When I make subtle changes, I don't always want to preview my movie from the beginning, and when the movie gets long, it takes a while to make small changes when I have to preview my movie every 5 seconds.
So is there anyway to preview my movie from a certain spot in my animation?
I created the movie below with 4 movie clips.

I would like to make my movie open with Tab 1 already pressed down, but for the movie to otherwise function normally. I've tried using an aclip.onEnterFrame function on scene 1, but it doesn't seem to work.
The problem is, when I specify where the background movie should start (which would be where it moves to when you click home) it moves off to the same place as soon as the movie is loaded...When home is clicked, it goes to the right place.. And I can see the movie is loading in the right place, but then it promptly moves off to the side, but if you click on home again, it moves straight back and stays there, as it should...
View 7 RepliesI have a web site that will have five sections. Let's call them 1,2,3,4,5. Section 1 starts on frame 100, 2 on 200, etc. Can I make an HTML link that can start the flash movie at the beginning of a certain section? Such as play "myflashmovie.swf and start on frame 200" so that the viewer will start on section 2?
Another way I was thinking of doing it was to create the five sections in five different flash movies. Then import those flash movies into one container flash movie but vary the order to whatever I want the viewer to start with. Then I would have five different html links. Each link would have a different section as the starting movie. Such as 1.html would play a container flash movie with section 1 at the beginning, 5.html would play a container flash movie with section 5 at the beginning, etc. My question here is could the five separate movies within the container movie make references to the other movies? Such as if someone was in movie 1 and it has link to movie 4, how would I note in the flash movie when user clicks here, go to movie 4?

View 5 RepliesI have attached the file for reference but would like to know how to start the mc 1936 when the file is published and the swf is first opened. I can get this to do this HOWEVER I cannot get the 1936 to then respond correctly as per the actionscript IE close when 1938 is clicked? 1936 keeps opening and I cannot get this to ONLY do this ONCE when first opened.

What i need is on random time intervals, the movie to start playing from FRAME 2. Those intervals to be restricted maximum for 2-3 minutes. I mean for example not to wait an hour or so for the function to be executed.
