I want to remove the appropriate child (e.currentTarget) and create a new child in its place with the next line, but it doesn't work. What do?
I have a child (an external swf) that I'm adding on frame 2 of my main timeline. It will load, but I have another issue. My timeline navigation is designed as such that the viewer can return to frame 1 after viewing frame 2. I don't want the child to be visible on frame 1 ever. Obviously, I can't simply use removeChild, because I haven't yet added it when frame 1 is reached and so I get a null object reference. I've also tried playing around with the visibility property of the child, but with no luck. I feel like I'm missing an obvious solution here. What should I do?

I know you can just remove/hide them, and generate/show them again.
But isn't there an easier way?
This is just a stripped down version of my problem that im using for troubleshooting purposes. I thought id try and make up a basic script to get the core of it working and then apply it to the file that im having this problem with later just to simplify things.So what im trying to do here is that ive got a MovieClip in my library called mc_brian that ive exported for action script with the class of Brian. The mc_brian movie clip has 2 frames, both with stop actions on them.So ive created my variable newBrian and loaded the Brian class into it, positioned it and added it to the stage via the addChild display object.Then im assigning newBrian an instance name and tracing the instance name, which of course returns "brian1":
Code:
var newBrian:Brian = new Brian();
newBrian.y = newBrian.x = 100;

I have these lines of code on frame 55 on the Main Timeline that generates the contact Form :
ActionScript Code:
import com.warmforestflash.ContactForm;
var contactForm:ContactForm = new ContactForm();
contactForm.x = -200;
[Code].....
My problem is, that I want the contact Form to be deleted everytime I change the frame means --> everytime I go to another subpage of the homepage.
So I would need a script to check for instances of the contact Form class on every subpage-frame and to delete them if present.
I have a character that I want to animate. Now each part of his body is a separate movieclip. What I want is that, for example, if you imagine the shoe MovieClip, I want to give it three frames - from the front, from the side, and bent.
So when I animate the character MovieClip, I would like it if I could keyframe the currentframe of the shoe MoveiClip, if that makes any sense. It's easy enough to do in ActionScript, but the problem with that is the change isn't visible until I test the movie, and when animating it's useful to see exactly what the character looks like at each frame. Is there any way of setting the current frame of child MovieClips when animating?

I am attempting to build a site using load movie commands. I have a navigation movie with 4 buttons, on the press of each button I uesd this script.
[code]...
this loads an animation and plays into the news reader. on the press of a button to go back I have loaded a seperate back animation using this script
[code]...
The problem I now have is I want to remove this clip at the end of the animation and return to the root navigation.
I've found the solutions for most of my many problems with as 3 but this one is really baffling The frame actions of child-movieclips of dynamically added movieclips are not firing! If I have movieclip, say "mc", which contains a child-movieclip "submc" which has a timeline animation in it with "stop();" on the last frame and I add "mc" on the stage via addChild() the stop action inside the sub movieclip will not work.
All the frame actions inside "mc" itself work. Everything works if I drag the movieclip onto the stage manually. Right now the only way I can see to stop a movieclip on its last frame is by using the ENTER_FRAME event, but that's awfully cumbersome.
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
View 2 RepliesI have a flash page where I am loading another .swf into. With a button in the loaded swf I need to unload the loaded swf (where the button is) and navigate to a specific frame label in the parent .swf. I've tried to do the following in the key frame where the swf get loaded into I've put the following:
var gallery_load_wonderland:Loader = new Loader();
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, loop_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, done_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.load(new URLRequest("gallery_wonderland.swf"));
function loop_wonderland(e:ProgressEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I basically want to first load the swf called "gallery_wonderland.swf". Then in the "gallery_wonderland.swf" there's a button called "contact03_btn" which I want to unload "gallery_wonderland.swf" even though it's inside the swf and navigate to the frame label called "Contact" in the parent swf.
What can I do I've done similar before and it works, but when I do it know and I click the contact03_btn it comes with following error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@26215ba1 to flash.display.MovieClip.

I have all that working but I want it to go back to the start or keyframe 1 when the clip is done playing so I can use the same opening menu to click on the second movie clip can some one give me any tips on how to get to go back to the start when the movie is done.
View 2 RepliesI've been following the book "Beggining Flash Programing for Dummies" and I have come up to a part where I create a very simple game.
The script involved in the frames are FRAME here:
stop();
btnGoThere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("there");
} //end event handler
Frame there
btnGoHere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("here");} // end release
When I test the movie and click the button, the frames don't seem to change.
I am making a frame by frame animation, where I draw a character, make a new frame and use the onion skin to slightly move my character. Is there a way to make a certain part faster than others? I made a character prepare to kick someone, but since i was doing it frame by frame it looks slow. So instead of taking out frames and making it look choppy, how do I make a certain part faster or increase its FPS? I tried making a new scene and changing its FPS, but that still changes the overall FPS.

It would help or positioning other items if i had the background displayed how it will actually be?
I wanted to create a portfolio in flash, so I designed the layout in photoshop, with different webpages in different groups. So groups i created: home, about, porfolio, contact, affiliates, topbar, menu.I use Creative Suite 3 or CS3I then imported the groups into flash as movieclips, using the import to stage function. here is the image of the main scene in the flash. (SEE IMAGE 1st thumbnail)I created a new layer on top of all the layers and used labels at equal intervals to differentiate between pages.here's the image depicting the same.(SEE IMAGE 2nd thumbnail)Now in the home movie clip, i made all the text layers as movie clips to make button animations and assigned sounds and actions to them i.e. rollver, rollout andclick events. here's the swf.(PM ME FOR SWF)I want to know the code or method to load the frame labelled ''about'' in the main scene when i click on the movieclip button 'about' which is in the movieclip 'home'. Here's the code i tried for the first 'about' button, but it returns error "1120: Access of undefined property event."

I'm building a flash application where the user can play multiple 30 sec .flv movies (one at a time) in slowmotion by pressing or holding down the left and right arrows keys.The user can hold/press "keypress right" to move to the next (key)frame and "keypress left" to move to the previous (key)frame in the .flv files.I have tested embeeding one .flv movie to the stage and it's working fine.But since I will be using many flv's I want to load the .flv's dynamiclly (on button clicks) using netstream or FLVPlayer. Would it be possible to step beetween keyframes in the same way if the .flv's are loaded dynamiclly? Or, must I embeed each .flv file into separate swf's and then dynamiclly load the swf's to my main stage?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a work around for a 9-slice animation problem, [URL] and I'm doing a shape tween within a MC... but when I place the animated movieclip on the stage, it displays the first frame of the animated movieclip, and it would be much more useful for it to display the LAST frame of the animation. I feel like there was some way of choosing the stage-display frame of the movieclip in the past, but can't find any way of doing this in CS5?
View 6 RepliesI have about 2 minutes of real life footage.
I need to put this in a "flash container" and make it advance frame by frame every time the UP key is pressed.
The faster the UP key is pressed, the faster the film should advance.
Accelleration and decelleration should seem "natural" (not bumpy and sudden).
So I made a ridiculously long Flash animation, but now I have to break down to certain parts. It's all made in one scene.
My question is can I start the playhead on a frame other than frame 1. Say frame 595, I've tried gotoAndPlay(595);, but to no avail. I've searched for a good 2 hours on this too. Is something so simple not possible in Flash?
