View 3 RepliesI want to "Test Movie" to get a feel for what my animation looks like as a SWF file but I want to test it from a specific frame. My reason for this is that normally if I go to Test movie, I have to watch my entire animation from the start when really, I might want to test it only to see if a certain part works. And I do realize there is the "play" option in the timeline using Enter but that doesn't have the same effect as Test movie.
Is there any way of testing a movie from a specific frame?
I am using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.
I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
I am trying to animate this piece with frames.
Basically, I have adrop down menu, which contains about 20 buttons. Each button is set to _root.Keys_MC.gotoAndPlay("frame label"); a specific from within the Keys_MC which is on the main timeline.
The problem is, no matter which one I click, it always links me to the first frame of that movie clip.
I have a flash intro on my site and i would like to create a cookie so that if you have already seen it it takes to a specific frame in the movie is this possible?

I'm creating an in-house application in flash for my company. I'm pulling a ton of info from a single XML file located on our server. Ten interns will be using the application on their laptops (Air 2.0). Having the data load and populate the application is not a problem. I would like them (in the application) to be able to edit an existing node value (loaded from the XML) and save it (back to the XML file) so that the XML file updates with the new value and the other 9 interns would see the change on their application.
I figure I'll need some kind of php set up, but everything I've read so far deals with creating new nodes. I need to edit and update existing node values from an existing loaded file.
Here's a very simple example of the XML:
HTML Code:
<INVENTORY>
<CODE>x1234561</CODE>
<NAME>Code1</NAME>

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie.

I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine

View 3 Repliesi'm trying to do a simple thing: a site where the background fades in and out between areas... ...and i'm trying it for a week...and still have no idea on whow to do it. i've seen many and many tutorials but there's no information regarding to loading movies in a specific frame!(like "call"-calling a specific action script frame?) here's what i have: a main movie (1frame) with 5 layers: actions, menu, bgone, bgtwo and border. and my problem is making the interaction between those areas, since i can't make the menu load the movies in the specific frames,to the specific layers... perhaps i'm just trying to find the wrong answers, or is is impossible?

When I want to "come back" from this movies to the main movie, I need to move the header to a specific frame of movieA, diferent depending on the movie I have previously loaded:

Is it possible or when you load a movie you can only start playing in frame 1?
I have a swf movie that loads to my main scene using a preload. I have a button found on the main scene. When that button is pressed I would like to use the GotoAndPlay command to play a specific frame in that movie. How do I do this. my swf is called inter_mc.swf. I created a function for the button but somehow Im thinking I need to designate the swf in the goto code. This isn't working but it is what I have so far.

View 2 RepliesTrying to create a link from an html page to the contact section of a flash website. I understand how to link to a specific frame by creating an anchor over the target frame, but it only works if its in a single movie. The problem is that the section I want to target is on a deeply nested movie which the main movie loads such as
Code:
loadMovieNum("images/topback.swf", 8);
Instead of the html code looking like this "index.html#contact" for a single movie what would a nested link code look like?

how to play movie clip and go to specific frame? this is sampel of playing MOVIE CLIP ONLY
"_root.gotoAndPlay("MainMenu")"
but how can i play frame number 40 in that movie clip.
I have a main movie that loads about 30 external swf's, so i have a button which after its pressed it loads an external swf and a specific frame,
i.e
there is a main movie called main.swf and there is an external movie that has about 15 frames and its called movie.swf I added a button to a main.swf so when its pressed it loads that external movie.swf so my question is: how do i load a specifc frame of that movie.swf
is there a way with the loadmovie function that you can load a specific frame within the movie instead of starting at frame1?
what ive been using is:-
on (release) {
loadMovie("mymovie.swf", 1);
}
but this starts 'mymovie' at frame1, is there a way to get it to load the movie and start at frame 20?
basically i have a container which I am loading in swfs, when you click on a specific button I want the loaded swf to jump to a specific frame.
I am using actionscript 2 at the moment this is the code on my buttons...
on (release) {
container.loadMovie("lindy_black_swatch.swf");
}
I'm working on a Flash navigation system.
Currently, when you click on "Recent Projects", you are brought to a frame containing the following actionscript:
attachMovie("recentProjectsBody_mc", "recentProjectsBody_mc", 1);
recentProjectsBody_mc._x = 60;
recentProjectsBody_mc._y = 195;
This loads a new movie clip of a simple slideshow which has 7 frames. You can click through these frames with left and right buttons.
I no longer need the left and right buttons. I need a group of 7 buttons sitting under the "Recent Projects" link which each link to a different frame of the recentProjectsBody_mc movie clip.
I assume I need to load this movie clip before I link to a frame within it. But then how do I link to a specific frame within that movie clip?
