i have imported a flv file into my library and placed a instance of it on the time line but It asks me if I want to add the amount of keyframes to show the movie which I would rather not as it slows down every think, is it possible to start the movie from actionscript command in a named frame and not have to add a load of frames?

my varloader.fla sample will load up a couple of variables from a .txt file (numbers.txt) and it will display them just fine in the dynamic text boxes on the layer below the actionscript layer. but if I move one of the dynamic text fields to another frame, lots of errors happen.
i gather this is because when the movie moves to the next frame, it 'forgets' all of the definitions in the actionscript of frame 1, but certainly there must be a way to do one load of the variables from the text file and use them project wide? please tell me i don't need to write a loader to parse my .txt file in ever frame I want to use the .txt variables?? how can i make these variables global? all i want to do is be able to display first_txt and second_txt on subsequent frames from the frame with the AS...

I'm interested in having my flash movie play at say, frame 50 and then if you refresh - it will again select a predefined (but randomly selected) frame to play from.So, the order could be as follows:
Refresh - frame 50
Refresh - frame 150
Refresh - frame 150

I am new to AS3 and was doing a little bit of research before diving in. I wish I could just create external swfs to load with each button, but the CMS system that I am uploading to won't allow it~ so I HAVE to make the thing into one swf, but the file size is too large. Is it possible to make a button that loads only a few frames within the timelime? and the next button will load another few? this is what i found and it says i can't:[URL]
View 1 RepliesIm trying to create a motion where as when you select a object from the home page all the objects slide out and off screen before the new content loads.
Ive got it set up so that it all loads into a swfLOADER. Is their a way that i can make it gotoAndPlay an out phrase before loading in the next content on the swfLOADER. I dont even know if what im trying to do is possible?
Have not sucseeded so far as it just wipes the page before playing the out phase. Is their any way that i can make this work??
currently got it saying on release gotoAndPlay "out" and then on the next line loadMovie "about"

I am trying to load a movie without using a frame script. Basically I have the below AS to load the movie (which works fine)
However I want to play frames "40-47" then load home.swf.
I understand I could have it just goto and play frame 40 with a load home.swf frame script on frame 47. But this does not work for what I am trying.
on (release) {
this._parent.content.loadMovie("home.swf");
}
I know this can be done in html but flash I don't know. I want to stay on the same url page and load another url in my flash movie. You can do this with SWF's, you have a main movie and then you can load a second swf into the main movie. Can this be done with a main swf and load in a url page into the swf?

View 1 RepliesI have seen flash sites that wait to load different parts of the flash file until you click on a link, thereby starting a loading graphic that then loads the content you're looking for. I can't find any information on how to do this, and I'm guessing I just can't find the right terminology.

My 1 frame load screen zips by and the next frame plays right away. When I click on a button that goes to another frame, it only goes to the last loaded frame, which is the wrong place. This happens for a few seconds until all the frames are loaded. In the meantime, it looks like my buttons are broken.Here's the code I'm using:
if (this.getBytesLoaded()=this.getBytesTotal()) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
This is the error I get in the compiler:
Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
I have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking aboutAlso you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away. That's another problem...ugh.Here is code on maintimeline:

I'm actually creating a pretty simple banner that needs to stay under 40k size. I'm trying to load and unload an external .swf to my main swf file. So far, I only managed to load my external .swf, without finding a way to make it appear and disappear at specific frames (the external .swf shows up directly at frame 1, then when the animation loops over, it stacks over and over).
I read some things about onEnterFrame and counters but still wasn't able to solve my issue.
Here's my actual code. It makes the "horse.swf" file (located in the same folder as my main swf) fades in into my main swf after it has been loaded.
By the way, I used The LoaderMax system from greensock. because it seemed lighter and easier to manage than the native Adobe Loader one.
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.loading.*;

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.
View 2 RepliesI have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

I've got a Flash page that has links as Movie Clips (Link1-8). The links are to different services, but right now they link to an external website. I'd like to make these link to different frames of another Movie Clip on the same page (Scrolling_Page).I'm not sure how to go about doing this, as all advice I've gotten hasn't worked thus far. It still just opens up a browser window and says it can't display "undefined".I've included the .fla in case no one can understand my gibberish.
View 3 Repliesi have my portfolio website which is a 1.5mb big flash presentation and i thought about making a preloader.the problem is that making a preloader for the entire site will take too long to load. i have tried that.
so i thought about making a preloader for each "page" or section of my presentation. for example- just for syneron, or just for m-systems (with each of them have a few diferent pages in the presentation, but their size is managable).
the problem is that i cant find anything is the preloader code that will let met control what frames to preload (for example, frames 100-200).

View 1 RepliesI have been wondering how to do advanced ease in and out between three frames. What I have been trying to figure out, is when using the new tween function in cs4. So what I do is i make a simple animation of a ball going from point a to point b, and apply a ease in and ease out.
now with that in place the animation works great.now if i want to make the ball go to point c with and ease in and ease out. the ease in and ease out is now applied to the whole animation intead of being able to have 2 seperate ease in and ease out for animation from point a to point b, then animation from point b to point c.
is there anyway to make it so that i can multiple ease in and ease out for these frames?
