Jump To Specific Frame On Movie File When Relevant Button Clicked
Aug 26, 2009
I have many buttons in a few movie files, i need to select a few of these buttons and store them in an array so i use....
var twocolourbuttons:Array = ["mybutton1", "mybutton23", "mybutton34"];
I then need to show a movie file if the button that has been clicked on is in the array. so something like...
if e.target.name is in the array show the movie twocolor.visible = true;
i then need to go to a certain frame of the movie, depending upon where the button is found in the array. So if the button is at position three of the array, i need to jump to keyframe 3 of my movie.
i see a code back in my old days of flash pro 8.0of gotoAndPlay() and stop(),etc;now its as3.0when i tried my old codes b4 with as3.0 it doesnt work..well my button is named start_btn.. and all my buttons is on the same frame as it is..but i wanted for it jump to the next frame where most of the actions of my flash takes place..can some1 guide me thru this?im jst new to cs4..and lots of things has changed when i jumpd from pro 8.0 to cs4.
when a external swf file gets loaded into main swf file, i need to detect while playing external file reach to end so that i can unload that file and move to another frame on root of main file. I am not getting how to identify external swf play reach to end so that i can unload swf and jump to root specific frame of main swf.
I want to jump to a specific frame in the swf I load using the Loader class. As it is now it goes directly to frame1 in the file, which I dont really want it to do. I'm using Flash CS4
I have been researching this for hours and cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. Right now I am linking one flash file or .swf file within my main flash site using a button.So in my main flash site, I connect to this .swf file by using...
This works perfect but the .swf file starts at the first frame. Is it possible to a jump to specific frame within that .swf file so it doesn't start on the first frame?
Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
I have a problem regarding flash, actionscript3 and movieclips.
I have 2 videos(inserted as movieclips, each one in different frames 100 and 102). I want to gotoAndPlay the one on frame 102, but the other in frame 100 always starts at the same time. How do I play just the specific movieclip of frame 102?
P.S. If I order to reproduce the movieclip on 100, it starts as it should.
Just when i think I have learned something and can make something work I find out I know less than nothing. its either laugh or tear my hair out (thinks there must be a lot of bald actionscripters) LOL this is the code i came up with and is not working. I want this on a frame on main timeline and
Normally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?
The title of my main file is "Gabriel96.fla". Inside this file I have a movie clip called "home movie". Inside this movie clip i have a button called "Symbol 32". Once this button gets clicked, I'd like it to go to frame "joe" which is inside a movie clip called "porrtfolio", which inside a separate file called "portfolio55.swf".
I 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).
I built a button in one of the movie clips in my project,
when I release this button, it goes to the 41st frame of the main timeline and continue to play until the frame 70 which has got a stop; command. till here everything's just OK. But I want this button to do something more though I don't know whether it's possible or not.
I want this button to go and play the frame number 41 in the main timeline, and then after it stopped at the frame 70 , then jump to frame 73.
I have a movie clip within file A.fla. This movie has buttons. Each of the buttons should go to their respective frame within a movie clip from a separate file.
I am making an online portfolio and I have created the following scenes:homeaboutontactright now, I have three movie clips on the home screen that I have created into buttons.
on (press) { go to Scene 2, frame 25 ????????????????????? }
What I would like to do is after someone clicks on the button, it should then jump to another scene's specific frame number. So for example when you press the "about" button, the playhead goes to the "about" scene to 25th frame. Same thing for each button
i need to change the colour of a graphic in a specific movie in a specific frame. if i have a movie clip instance-named "sidetext" thats 15 frames long, and i want a graphic in the movie, called "letterp" to change to one of four colours that i want it to randomly at frame 10 and stay that colour uintil frame 15, how can i do this?
I've got a button that I want to use to jump to a labeled frame within the timeline. When I click on the button I can't get my trace statement to work. The error message I get is: Error 1061: call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with a static type flash.display:SimpleButton BtnDone is the instance of the button on the stage, btn1867 is the frame label I want to jump to once the button is clicked.
Here's the code: stop(); btnDone.addEventListner (MouseEvent.CLICK,clickSection); function clickSection (evtObj:MouseEvent) { //trace action - what's happening in output window trace("The button 1867 was clicked!") gotoAndStop("btn1867"); }
I have this code written for a game im making, but the problem is that the function 'jump' is only run when the mouse is clicked over the movie clip "grape1"
Code: var MyArray = new Array this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, keepRunning); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, jump);[code]...
I made movie, which has TWO Scene. In Scene 1 I placed link in 4th level of the movie like Main Movie > sub movie 1 > sub movie 2 > sub movie 3 > sub movie 4 > (here is the link on movie) Now I want to jump on Scene 2 frame 1. How can I do this?
I have been doing really well figuring everything out up until now.[code]How it stands, what is this link pointing to? Can I make it target a specific frame in a specific movie clip?And if someone would be so kind and explain what this is saying in 3rd grader terms.
First off, I am new Second off, I hate action script it's a pain in the ass. Here's what im dealing with: Im making an info point computer program in flash cs3. After making several pages I am forced to make a navigation button to jump to the first frame(home).
At the home page you will be sent to several different pages (these links work just perfect. To create a home button i've made an button with the same code
Code: home_now.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,homeClick); function homeClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndStop(1); } Unfortunate this does not work, while the links at the home page do work.
I've tried several things to fix it, but it won't do: - Send to tagged frame "home" instead of frame "1". - Change the instance name - Putt the actionscript in the exact same frame.
Weirdly enough the home button does work on the keyframe where it is placed, even though I pushed the frame over all the other pages it wont jump to home.
i need to know if there's a way to lock button symbols in a specific state once users click them? i have a series of 34 buttons, and they all contain an animated movieclip in their "over" state. problem is when i click on one, they play the "over" state very briefly again before my event happens, and it looks funky. any way to make it so once u click it, it stays in "down" state? i know using movieclips instead of buttons will resolve the problem but i'd like to know if there's a way to do it without converting them all to movieclips,
How would I do this in AS3? I want to call a function and run it with specific properties depending on which button is clicked.So how do the "_this" statement work in as3? in as2 I would write something like this and "this" would stand for the instance name:
I'm working on making a nitrogen tank that inflates a balloon a little bit more every time you click the tank. How do you set it up to go to a specific shape tween each time it is clicked, and then have it stop and make a reset button appear?
