View 1 RepliesI 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?
on [URL] what is the word 'section' in _root.section? I assume it is a movie clip instance, but can't seem to find it on the timeline.

View 1 RepliesI've managed to create some small and successful movie animations which loop when place on a website.What I'm trying to do is to have a movie which has a intro section which plays for about 15 seconds or so then moves onto the main body of the movie which then loops without showing the intro section again.
View 3 Repliesi know i can duplicated a movie clip by using addChild:
Code:
var myMC:MovieClip = new blank_character;
this.addChild(myMC);
myMC.x = 200;
myMc.y = 200;
etc...
Im making somewhat of an online multiplayer game, it loops through an XML file full of character co-ords and names etc and creates movie clips and positions the characters on the screen accordingly.
The characters are pulled out from the library once, and then after that i want to access the movie clips within the characters.
for example, in the root timeline i have all the characters, inside the characters i have movie clips containing their clothing, names, etc, that i want to be able to edit.But im having troubles referencing the movie clips and doing this.
I've tried things like
Code:
var myMC:MovieClip = new blank_character;
this.addChild(myMC);
myMC.name = "character"+characterID;

I could them access each movie clip when clicked (to turn a cross on or off on the movie clip). My original movie clip is called symbol_box_mc and the array I want to push it into is called symbol_box I've a load of other queries about this project but one step at a time! I've defined the array earlier with... var symbol_box:Array = new Array();

Obviously the goal is to be able to do this without applying the start/stop drag action to each ball.

Now what I am having an issue with is the gallary section is to small as it loads into the bottom of my movie (_parent). What I have decided to do is stop this process all together and have it go to a new url in a new window. Which is basic for you guys. If I take out the code under the on (release) section is it just a matter of a gotourl to get the page to open. The website is www.daemondesigns.com and originally was purchased as a template and so far have been able to put in all the new graphics and make text changes correctly with a few minor adjustments still needed. Ive got a book on actionscript 3.0 that I am just starting to make my way through but have a deadline that I may not make for this new gallery.
I have created an application that lets the user dynamically edit the content of an online greeting. I want the application to be able to duplicate the edited greeting 4 times, so the printed page will contain 4 exact duplicates.
I tried using duplicateMovieClip, but it would not duplicate the dynamic content edited on runtime.
I was able to use attachBitmap and "capture" the screen content, only to find out the resolution of the duplicates was far from being acceptable (I guess because screen resolution is only 72 dpi, and I need it to print nicely).
I have a menu that loads external images as buttons and once its built I need to create multiple instances of it next to one another. Senoculars duplicateMovieClip class wont duplicate graphic information, which my menu has, so can anyone suggest an alernative method to creating this using the same instance of the set of loaded images?

I'm trying to keep a fresh copy of my loaded swf's in the loader.content while I use a copied version in my main swf. What I'm trying to do is make a slide show using a master swf to load many other slide swfs. The first time through each swf plays just fine but the second time through there can be problems with eventListeners, etc so I want to trash each slide when I'm done with it and get a fresh copy when the user wants to see it again. I've done this utilizing the cache in the browser but I'd rather use the method below.
I saw this code from: [URL] that allows you to copy movie clips so I should be able to do that with this method but I'm clueless how other then cutting and pasting code and praying that it works.
Security.allowDomain("*");
var myMovie:Sprite;
var l:Loader = new Loader();

I'm trying to create a user customisable touch screen interface - in which people can include their own button styles (currently created as movie clips). I have a working XML file that names the style / external swf name for each button but I don't seem to be able to then duplicate that movie clip for say use in 10 separate buttons. When I try this only the last one created is displayed. I can of course separately load the file 10 times but that is yuk.
I hope to be able to position the timeline through n states in each loaded clip independently and also have one click handler that can return me an identifier of which was clicked - I know how to loop/create dynamic instance names.
<edit> I can do this successfully from the library - just not as an external file load - where the MC won't be in the library at all.
Code:
//Initialize variable to hold target data
var targetClip:MovieClip;
//********* Add a "MovieClip" variable that will reference the root of the loaded clip:**********

CS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!
So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).
