I've created a simple slider to scrub through some frames of a MC named states. Each frame has the same MC (states) just in a different color. I've setup the slider using
[Code]....
I have an audio progress bar that I have created. It uses the following code:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;progress_bar_inst.tb_mc.scaleX = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,EnterFrame);
function EnterFrame(evt:Event):void {
progress_bar_inst.tb_mc.scaleX = instructor_audio.currentFrame/instructor_audio.totalFrames;
}
It works great! But I would like to add the ability to "scrub" or use a slider to move forward and back in the audio clip. (like it does with FLV Playback component) I have no idea how to do this. DOes anyone have any info on this, or is there an easy way to add to my existing code to add this functionality?
I'm working on an audio player with a scrubbable playhead, per Kenny Bellew's outstanding tutorials [URL]In order to learn the mechanics and test drive it, I was able to create a fully functional model in its own movie. Now I'm trying to apply it to an MC nested in a larger project and I'm having trouble.The main website (w/o the audio part installed) is [URL]A smaller version that only has the part I'm working on (for this question) is [URL]The songloading and play/pause/stop are working fine. (I'll be adding a song loading preloader later--the songs are dynamically loaded), but I can NOT get the playhead working completely. It will track the progress of the song, but if dragged, the song stops, the playhead snaps back into its original place, and the song stops for good (until re-loaded).
I'm just calling something incorrectly--the whole Audio section is in the _root.Audio MC, and the songs are loaded in to audioSong.
The code for the drag head:
------
onClipEvent (load) {
startPosition= _root.Audio.hslider._x; // hslider is the knob.
left = _root.Audio.hslider._x;
top = _root.Audio.hslider._y;

I am currently having the unfortunate experience of learning Flash Pro as part of my degree program at school. I have been having a problem with the program crashing repeatedly. I have CS4 Web Premium, an educational discount edition, and am using it on an HP pc with an AMD Athlon and Nvidia v-card. I have had problems with it crashing on this computer when using tools such as the deco-tool and sometimes when transforming something. The real problem is when I try to use one of the Dell pc's at school to work on a file I have created at home on the HP. On 4 different machines at school Flash will crash when working on one of these files, especially when scrubbing the playhead on the timeline. The program will crash over and over, to the point where I can't really work on these files at school, which is a huge waste of time.

View 3 RepliesI have an FLV intro that plays on my first frame. After the video is complete, it goes to the second frame in the timeline. The final frame of the video mathces frame 2 in my timeline, BUT there is a small hiccup at the end of the video when trantsitionning to the timeline! How can I have this 2 blend? So that the end of the video and the 2 frame (where my navigation resides) are seamless?
View 8 RepliesI am creating a timeline for a website and there is a slider located at the top of the page where the years are defined on a line. The slider should be able to be moved by the clicking on it with the mouse and dragging it thus moving the timeline information directly below it from right to leftIf ANYONE knows any codeing or how to accomplis this in Flash CS3 actionscript2; If I am able to log onto my tempsite soon... I will upload what I have so far and post it in a reply thread. I have created the pieces of this puzzle in flash just as a motion tween to show the concept that I am trying to create. When the slider moves right to a greater year, the timeline image pans left. Vice versa
View 1 RepliesThis time I'm attempting to make a timeline, that should control what frame of a movie clip on the root timeline is displayed. So relevant to where the user slides the slider bar, the appropriate information will be displayed inside that movie clip. Now I really have NO idea where to start the coding that will attempt to convert the slider's location on its on slider bar, to what frame is shown on that movieclip.

I have an animation of someone dancing, frame by frame over several frames, if I slide the timeline back and forth I can change the rhythm and speed he dances and make him dance in time to whatever is playing on the radio! I would like to make this sliding timeline an interactive element, so I want the viewer to be able to slide the position of the timeline for the dancing frames so they can make up there own routines, so they are essentially sliding through the different frames back and forth how they choose, can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for this type of thing or is this something you have done before? I guess what I am trying to achieve is similar to a rewind/fast forward slider?

View 9 RepliesI've been able to do most things by finding something similar and adapting, but this one is just not working for me and I know it's got to be easy. I'm working in Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 but willing to switch to actionscript 3.0 if it's easier. So this is what I'm trying to do: I've got 15 images on a single layer, keyframes 1-15. I want to build a slider bar that controls the movement from one image to the next. I tried doing the slider bars tutorial [URL] and I can do the tutorial correctly, but i can't figure out how to adapt it to scroll through the keyframes.
Also, for now there are 15 images but there could be as many as 72.
Do I need to put stops in each keyframe as well?

I am working on adding playback controls. So far, I've been able to achieve a working slider component that scrubs the external swf's timeline. However, it is faulty and the slider thumb doesn't follow move with the timeline of the swf-it just remains still. What I mean by faulty is that sometimes the slider scrubs the swf timeline and sometimes it fails with this error:

I have 3 pictures and animated it using motion tween asusual.Now, I want to create a slider so that user can drag alongforward and backward so that the tweened animation movesaccordingly. Eg the whole motion ends in 10 secIf user drag slider to far right it goes to 10 sec frame andif it position to middle the movie go to 5th sec. etc.How to do this to associate the slider to frames ?
View 5 RepliesI have made a slider that I am having issues with. This slider is to control the timeline of a movie clip when dragged. My problem with this is that It seems to be duplicating the first frame. When I slide the slider to the right it will hit first tick and still display what is in frame 1 .. then on the next ticks it will continue with the rest of the timeline. how to prevent / over come my slider from doing this with the first frame?

I am trying to add action script 2.0 to a slider that i created using http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/slider.htm that slides a movie clip that is a timeline from left to right. In the timeline are (i)More... buttons that will reveal more information. I just need to know how to integrate the timeline into the code using as2 to make it slide when the slider is dragged..
This is the action script that I have on the slider movie clip as stated in the above tutorial. But this is ALL the action script I have on EVERYTHING..... I know I need more to make it pan the timeline but I dont know how to do it.

I really could just use a good tutorial that shows me how to link the image that im sliding to the slider bar. When the slider is moved to the right... the image flows left.... toward the end of the timeline. When the slider is all the way right. The end of the timeline is shown. The timeline is bigger than the stage so the slider is on a line with years on it.
I wanna create a effect like this website. [URL]For all americans if it don't work you can view it here.

There by creating the feeling of be able to drag the object in the picture back and through the timeline but it being played and not just jumping to the picture.[URL]
View 1 RepliesI have slider that sits on my root timeline and controls the timeline of a movieclip sitting on it. The user can drag the scrubber controls to move the movie around as it is playing, and it progresses along the bar on its own. However, the issue I am having is that when the user drags the bar (in either direction) the actions that are on the frames that they scrub past never happen. Is there a way to be sure that if the user scrubs forward along the timeline, that these actions happen?
Also, say they get to the end and rewind back to the beginning, is there a way to reset the actions so that they can see everything again? and I hope this made sense. EDIT: Anyone? Also, I forgot to mention: this is in AS2.
if I can control volume by means of a slider , is there anything to stop me progressing through preloaded frames along a timeline with a slider? has anyone tried this? i am imagining giving the user control of a decaying image from beginning to end with the use of a slider?

p1 is the instance of the movie which I am trying to move with slider. When I apply above code on the handle of the slider with instance name 'handle' everything works perfect. Slider moves and so do the movie. Now instead when I bring the same code to the main timeline to do the same, onClipEvent does not work, it gives error. So I replaced it with the code written below. Now I can move the handle but movie is not moving.

I have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.
And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.
