Now my problem is getting back to the main menu icons (built in Flash) once the user has looked at the swf(s) (built in Catalyst) they want to. I made the stage 50px longer to accommodate a button and have tried virtually all snippets etc (I'm not a coder) but nothing seems to work. How do I get back to the main page from the uiloader

View 1 RepliesI have a very simple bit of AS3 that I can't get to work. I have 4 FLVPlayBack's on 4 frames, buttons on a menu to go to the frames to play the videos, and I need to return to the menu's frame after the videos end. Here's what I have. The buttons to play the videos work, but the function to return to the menu isn't firing. I'm also getting this error as the program starts...
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Basically I'm building CD extras for a band, and they have a bunch of videos that are embedded in the timeline that need to automatically return the menu when they finish playing.I have the menu working fine, and all the videos are linked and playing; is it just a simple matter of replacing the "gotoAndStop" command or is it more complicated?
View 2 RepliesSo, in my base flash file I have movieclips playing inside of a container.
They are cued from external .swf files.
When one is pushed another checks to see if that movie is at its "midframe" and then plays the remainder of that movie before playing the movie that was pushed.
ALL OF THIS, works fine. The problems is that I have a button inside of these movieclips that I need to play the remainder of the movie to then return to the main menu.
This is the code on the buttons which cycle through the movieclips:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "illustration";
container.loadMovie(illustration);
[Code].....
If I wanted the movie to only return to to the main menu I could use this code, but it's flawed for two reasons:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
a. This doesn't play the rest of the movie before returning to the main menu.
b. Once it returns you to the main menu, none of the other movies will play again.
the only "Home" button that works is on the "Theory" page, which is where the actionscript happens to be located(frame 76).. In other words, if I click on the "Theory" button, I'm able to return to my home page. However if I click on any other button, it plays straight through the remaining frames and loops back to the beginning.

stop();

I'm trying to edit a Flash file, that get it's data from and XML file.Now when you click on one of the menu items, the page + page title should change, but somehow the page title remains the same. (at least for the first 3 menu items) But when you go to the last menu item and then back to one of the first 3 menu items, the correct page title is shown.I'm no flash / AS expert, so I can't really find out what the problem is, but it seems like it has something to do with this function
Code:
_root.getCurrentText(thisText0, _parent.num);

View 5 RepliesI have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution?
one?
I have a project for a site that sells fishing lures.I want to have an animated index page before moving on to the home page. My idea is to have a boat sitting on a pond fishing lines in the water, when a fish jumps out of the water, the water ripples, the next time you see the fish it's got a hook in it mouth and jumping out of the water.how do I go about it? How to I create the water rippling? I think with the fish I can do easily enough with it jumping on and off stage. Would I do the water with shape tweens?

I don't think it's necessary to load the whole pages, since the header, menu and footer will be the same on every page. Also I want the button of the menu item clicked to stay highlighted while the new content is loaded, thus I want to avoid reloading the menu. And the last demand is for the pages to be linkable (i mean a unique url address for each page). I'm opened to implementing php or java script or any other technology, although i don't really used them before.

I have tried several suggestions on this forum to resolve my issue, but it is obvious to me I am missing something because I am a NOVICE Flash developer. I have everything working in my Flash file EXCEPT I want to use this code to play a .swf file. When the swf file is done playing OR the user clicks the return to Main Menu button, they return to frame 1.[code]The .swf file plays and when I click Return to the Main Menu button, only certain items display from frame 1. The .swf file is still loaded hiding the items that should display on frame 1. I have attached a screen shot of what happens when I click the "Return to Main Menu" button.
