I have two scenes, one acts as a preloader. It contains a flv video that should play before the other scene is loaded. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to specify this logic on the timeline. For example, I want scene 1 to play until frame 20 and scene 2 to start at scene 21.
View 5 Replieswhat I only modified in the .fla file is the library. I created a new folder in the library and I moved all of the bitmap images into it. Also, I edited something from the preloader in the game... I saved the file, then whenever I open it, the error happens. Also, the same error happens after I have edited the properties of the image, I imported new images and saved. Whenever I open the file, the error happens. How can I avoid this from happening? Also, what are the possible effects of this error to the file? Because I cant find anything wrong with the file except for that error.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a Jeopardy game. When someone clicks on the button with the dollar amount on it, I have it reset to a different scene on the button so the players know it has been used. When another button is clicked, the first button resets back to its original dollar amount, rather than the blank scene it was reset to.
View 10 RepliesI'm creating a demo presentation that uses imported MP3 audio and static images basically panning around - simple stuff. I have it broken down into scenes to be more manageable. So at the end of a scene, I'll have this line:
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");
Which works just fine.
The problem is during the playback of the SWF, I get odd skips, generally at the beginning of a scene. Is this expected when using multiple scenes? Is it possibly something to do with the audio playback? I'm trying to make sure the MP3s do not start at exactly the beginning of the scene, but I'm still getting the problem.
Also, are there any tips on including MP3 audio to make things smoother? I'm running at 18 FPS.
I have four scenes, it loads on the first scene. I click the button which sould go to scene four but it goes to scene 2.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a webpage in flash, and for now, it consists of 3 scenes. First one is a loading bar, scene 2 is a main page with all menus, and on 3rd scene there is a gallery. I plan to make many galleries, each in different scene. Everything is ok to the moment, when I want to go back from scene 3 to scene 2. Scene 2 consists of many layers and movieclips, however, the main timeline consists only of one frame. When, in scene 2, I will get to the moment from which I am going to scene 3, so to some gallery, then after I am comming back to scene 2 (via gotoAndPlay('Scene 2', 1)), I am getting to scene in a state, as I see it just after loading bar disappears. But I want to be in a place, from which I went to scene 3. How do I achieve this? I think, there should be a way of remembering status of the scene 2 in such a way, that after comming back from scene 3 I would be in the same place from which I left to the mentioned scene 3. Be advised, that scene 2 is in one frame, and all movement in the scene 2 is done by actionscript and movieclips. I am using AS2.0.

I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
I have a button which i'm trying to load a new scene but have no idea how to link it !

View 3 RepliesI setup a movie as 5 different scenes. The first scene is the loading animation that sends the user to scene 2 when it's loaded, and then scenes 2-5 can be switched between with 4 buttons in each scene. These for buttons are on the root timeline and they work fine switching between scenes. But, I have a different button inside a mc on the root timeline that I want coded to load the next scene, but it won't work. I tried nextScene();, gotoAndStop("the_scene_name",1);, _root.nextScene();, and other combinations, all to no avail. But, if I put that same code in a button on the root timeline, works perfect. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's simple, but I couldn't find a solution in Help or the manual. Also, is it better to setup something like this as different scenes, or as separate movies?

i'm trying to build my preloader, my flash movie has large sounds to make a selection of music but the sounds loads in the first scene even if they are attached in the second one.
My flash size is about 762 kb and some 756 kb are in the first scene(such as sounds), this is the problem because my preloader starts function when they are 756 kb loaded and only works for the final 6 kb.

I've just recently made the leap from AS2 to AS3 and after several days of reading the CS4 help and searching posts here, I'm still at a loss how to get my first AS3 project off the ground.I'm working on an illustrated choose-your-own-path story with each step split into seperate swfs to speed up loading time.I've got a main file loading a scene swf using.[code]The loading works fine (although I've just found a post that suggests I should wait until the swf loads before adding it as a child), but how would I then get the buttons in the loaded swf to tell the main swf which swf to load next?I'm stumped firstly by that, and additionally by how I should then UNload the swfs. Is it not common practice to refer to objects by their '.name' in AS3? Should I be loading the swfs into an array?

View 2 RepliesI am creating an online demo which has 5 scenes that play one after another. My goal is to load the 1st scene while the user waits. Once the 1st scene starts to play, the 2nd scene begins downloading quietly in the background.

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'.

I want to load a movie loadMovie ("target", _root....) and so on. My question is can you target a specific scene in the load movie command?? I have a movie with a button that loads a new movie into level 0 so it replaces the first movie. Now in the new movie I have a button that unloads the new movie and loads the previous one. But it starts it off at the veru beginning of the movie. I want it to pick up where the first button click took place.
View 2 RepliesI've got this scene which is a movie clip; the only movement is in the models eyes, so I want to add invisible buttons around the scene that the user can interact with. When a certain object is clicked (the button) it triggers a short movie clip in the bottom corner of the scene, which is basically a text box typing letters.
However, I've tried to do this and I've come across two problems.
One, I can only click the button once, it won't repeat itself again.
Two, I can only seem to add one button as it's a movie clip and it messes with the others in the scene.
