obviously it doesn't work because it's not the correct syntax but i wrote it for you to understand ..
how can i make something that add's a x number of frames to the actual timeline?
Okay, so I've got a happy little movie that shows an atom diagram. Every seven frames shows an electron popping up in the ring around the nucleus. This is all contained in a movie clip. I want a button that when pressed, tells the movie clip with the atom to advance the seven frames ( making an electron pop up ) and then stop. The same button if pressed again, will advance the movie clip an additional seven frames ( thus adding another electron ).
I've looked around quite a bit but haven't found a solution that will work for me. Also, I am working in AS2. (if you're feeling especially helpful, do you also know how to do the same but in reverse? I've found how to play movie clips in reverse, but not for a certain frame interval.)
EXAMPLE: I have a movie clip on the stage with 100 frames inside of it. If a hitTest == true, I want it to play a certain amount of frames depening on what the item is. I tried the following code:

I get the trace to show YES. I can't get the MC to play 5 frames and 5 frames only!
I'm using the box2dflash library to create a game, and so far I've been using "SetPosition" to instantly move a body from one place to another... the problem is that it obviously skips affecting other bodies when I do this. I have the body set to bullet... now I just need to know how I calculate the force(?) to get the body to the exact coordinates that I need to move it to... preferably after only a single frame.How would I go about doing this in box2d properly?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the AS3WavSound [URL] class to playback externally loaded wavs. This is working successfully. The library is simple and effective.
After decoding the Wav ByteArray the method the library employs for playback is using the SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA event and then writing the mixed samples to the output stream.
player.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, onSamplesCallback);
private function onSamplesCallback( evt : SampleDataEvent ):void
{

My problem is that I need to silence this audio output immediately but whatever method I have tried there is a distinct (1 second approx) delay before the silence takes effect.
As you can see I've attempted to add a boolean to block any samples being written to the output stream but this has had no effect on the delay.
My suspicion is that this is a fundamental part of how the samples are buffered and then written out. Essentially by the time a user action on screen (clicking a mute button) has been called and the _mute boolean is set to true there are already samples waiting to be written to the output that cannot be affected.
I could create a program for him in flash which would be able to play sounds corresponding to keys on the keyboard, but split in to 3 groups, and only 1 sound from each group can be playing at a time. I don't know that much about as3, and I told him this but said I would try anyway. The first thing I came up with was this:[code]In there, there's nothing to stop the sounds overlapping or looping like in my other solution, also it's obviously a lot less compact, but I sent it to my friend like that to see if it would at least play instantly. The response I got was that, although the lag was noticeably less, it was still present.

View 3 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 3 RepliesI have a SWF which loads another SWF with addChild(), but the graphic designer, says that he wont put code into the animation. So is its possible to check how many frames there is in the external SWF and if it has reached the last frame, checked from the master SWF? and then the master can do a function...?

I use actionscript 3.
I'm making a game with health bars in it and I'm trying to have it so that if a character is hit, the bar will go forward a certain number of frames before it eventually hits zero.The thing is, I'm a dunce and I'm not sure how to do this exactly. All I need to know is the going ahead a certain number of frames part.Say on an action I needed a movie clip to go ahead three frames. How would I code that? I thought I could use nextFrame(); while putting a 3 in the parenthesis, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

View 11 RepliesEven though I HATE TimeLine based code (despite it being convenient for quick prototypes) I have been dabbing a slight bit in "addFrameScript()"
The problem is, there doesn't seem to be any way to set the number of frames in a MovieClip via code, and Flash doesn't automatically adjust the number of frames based on where "addFrameScript" code is located.
I'm not sure what use it would server, but is it possible to set the number of frames in a MovieClip without using the Flash Professional IDE?
And, as usual, a "No, Andreas. For the n-th time, it is not possible." response is okay.
Is it possible to find out the number of frames of a movieClip using actionscript? Like in the main timeline have some actions in frame 1 to find out the number of frames in "content" movieClip?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a menu that uses a number of these buttons: [URL]
The button works quite well, except that I would like the sub-menu to close up once the mouse clicks elsewhere on the screen. I have tried to find the Action Script for this but have been unsuccessful. What script can I use to cause the menu to close up when a user clicks outside of the button?

I'm putting together book in Flash. The audio starts with frame 2 but the naritive continues on frame 3 and 4.[code]...
Is it possible to have code to move to the next frame after a certain amount of time instead of a button?
I am trying to make an API in which there are 3 screens:
1. User drags items to a blank square(area) and makes a flag in the area with the items-i will call it "the flag" from now on
2. User dresses a puppet-i will call it "the puppet" from now on
3. User can print puppet+the flag(and he can arrange it-over/under the puppet, resize, rotate etc.)
I think all I have to do is create an MC with the flag and then move it over frames, or insert the flag (blank square+components used) to an MC in advance, and by code remove unused items and then "pop" it in the other frame (but then i need it to be the edited one, not the original). I attached the frame. The square is the area and the blue squares are the draggable items. I want to preserve that edit (post drag locations).
I wish to know if is possible to use the mouse wheel to move frames back and forward. And how the script will be like.

Are there anyway to get number of frames in a specific scene? There's a totalFrames property of MovieClip class, but that's the total frames of all scenes.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to set up a frame number by the code, rather than doing so in the timeline? This usually is tedious, if you keep adding and removing frames till you get the desired effect.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a visualisation where the user inputs the number of songs they have and it shows you a visual of how many CDs this is (for a uni assignment). I have my variable 'output' and somehow I need to code a button so that when the user clicks it it takes them to my movie clip 'cdstack' frame 'output - 10' and plays then stops when it gets to frame 'output'. So it will play for ten frames then stop when it reaches 'output'.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a function that looks at two Frame Labels and calculates the number of frames between them. This is what I've got so far:
Code: Select allfunction convertLabelsToFrames (targetClip:MovieClip, startFrameLabel:String, endFrameLabel:String):int
{
var time:int = targetClip.endFrameLabel.frame - targetClip.startFrameLabel.frame;
return time;
};
The problem I'm having is that you don't seem to be able to find a FrameLabel within a MovieClip in the simple sort of way that I've used above (I know the way I specify here won't work). It does seem, though, like there should be SOME way of finding a FrameLabel within a MovieClip.
