Professional :: Editing All Frames At Once To Center Multi-layered Animation?
Oct 19, 2011I just realized I was working on 4:3 when I need to make a 16:9 movie. So I resized the stage, but now everything is on the left side.
I tried turning on "edit multiple frames" and marked the entire stage, layers and frames and moved everything to the centre. Almost everything moved, excepted for material that is on motion tween key frames.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Access The Root Timeline From A Movieclip
Feb 24, 2010I have a movielclip, nav_mc, inside which contains my navigation buttons. Lets say I want to effect the time timeline. Before in AS 2.0 I could simply go
jan1_mc.onRelease = function() {
_root.january_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
}
Now in AS 3.0, nothing works.
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, doIt);
function doIt(evt:MouseEvent):void {
_root.january.gotoAndStop(2);
}
That doesn't work. Returns this in errors:
Warning: 1058: Migration issue: The property _root is no longer supported. This property has been removed. The closest equivalent is the Stage, which serves as the root of the ActionScript 3.0 display list..
Neither does
root.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or
stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
(1119: Access of possibly undefined property ball_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.)
or
_stage.january.gotoAndStop(2)
or anything!
How do we do this very simple thing now in AS 3.0
TLDR;
How do I reference the _root timeline in AS 3.0 since _root. no longer works in 3.0
ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling MovieClip On Root Timeline?
Aug 19, 2008My stage is empty except for an MC with a simple animation and an AS 2 layer. There is not a button or user interaction that engages the MC. I want the MC to play when the timeline reaches the frame with the AS. My MC has an instance name of 'blueMC' and here's the AS I've tried:
blueMC.play();
_root.blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
on(load){
blueMC.play();
} onClipEvent(load) {
blueMC.gotoAndPlay("2");
}
Shouldn't it just be this?:
MCinstanceNmae.gotoAndPlay("Frame# or label");
ActionScript 3.0 :: Reference A MovieClip On Root Timeline From Document Class?
Sep 28, 2009So I have a MovieClip symbol created in the Flash IDE with a baseClass of flash.display.MovieClip and Class name of "Square". I have placed it on the timeline of my fla at frame 30 and given it an instance name of "square". How can I control that MovieClip from my DocumentClass? I have an ENTER_FRAME listener listening for the arrival of frame 30. At that time I want to simply do something to the "square" MovieClip. But I keep getting a compile-time error of "1119: Access of possibly undefined property square through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.".

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip With Button On Main Timeline - Targeting Root?
Oct 31, 2011If I have a movieclip on the main timeline, and a button in that movie clip. How would I go about getting it to advance the main timeline to its next frame? I understand that in AS3 movie clips are not connected to the timeline in the same way as they are in AS2 but I dont understand why the following works, or if there is a better way?
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent) {
MovieClip(this.root).nextFrame();
}

Oct 1, 2009I have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline.[code]...

Jun 20, 2011I have no idea why it doesn't work. I have a movieclip I make it go to frame lowWalk. mc_player2.gotoAndStop("lowWalk"); On that frame is another movieclip with an animation which should just automatically play and loop... but it doesnt, it stays on the first frame. Remember I tell it to go to frame lowWalk, which is 1 frame with a movieclip with an animation within. I even tried putting a play(); actions on the first frame inside the animation movieclip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Playing A Certain Frame In Another MovieClip (timeline)?
Feb 3, 2011I was wondering if someone can help me. I have some difficulties playing a certain frame in another MovieClip. I have two MovieClips, MovieClip(content) and MovieClip(about_page). The about me button is placed in MovieClip(content) and I used the following code to go and play MovieClip(about_page) that is placed in the timeline:
about_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, myrl1 );
function myrl1( event:MouseEvent ):void
{
gotoAndPlay("37");
}
But now when MovieClip(about_page) loaded i have a button that must go back and play a certain frame in MovieClip(content) I used the following:
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,close1 );
function close1 (Event:MouseEvent): void
{
gotoAndPlay ("29");
}
[code]....
But for some reason it never goes back to Movieclip(content) and I get the following:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Professional :: Playing Sound In Timeline (For Lip Sync)
May 16, 2010I've run into a bit of a problem using Adobe's CS3 flash program in terms of lip syncing... I can place the sound files in the timeline at whichever point I like and so forth, but I have no way to play them in such a way where I can adequately make lip syncs. It's hard to explain, but in flash MX I would merely click the timeline, drag the cursor along it, and it would play the sounds as it did the frames, one piece at a time. That way I could tell where the consonants were and therefore where to change my characters' lips. This is not the same as simply hitting "enter" and letting the sound play in its entirety.

Feb 26, 2012I have a movie clip on my timeline and it has maybe 60 frames in it. There's enough space for it to play and loop, and when I press ctrl enter to preview it, it plays as expected. However, as I scrub through my animation, the only things that play are the motion tweens I made. The movie clip just stays stuck on the first frame. I was curious so I exported it as is right now and it goes through the frames correctly there too. However, this is fustrating because I want to see the movie clip cycle through it's frames when I scrub through my timeline!

Professional :: Playing Multiple Movie Clips One After Other On Main Timeline?
Apr 23, 2010Excuse the probably simple question but I'm just starting off with Flash.I have imported a few video trailers directly into flash and saved them as movie clips. I want to be able to insert these movie clips onto the main timeline and play them one after the other, repeating once they have all played. On the main timeline I have set a layer for each clip and a keyframe where the clip is inserted for each layer. When I go to play the flash file, it is showing the first frame from each movie file and then moving to the first frame of the next movie file. What do I need to do to make flash play the entire movie file in that specific frame before moving to the next frame where the next movie file is and playing all that movie?

Aug 11, 2011I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening.
