I'm using Fl for the first time and I'm trying to create a slideshow. Everything was going fine until I realized I had spaced out the different image timelines too far to the right. Now that I've moved them all leftward I have these blank ends that make the slideshow end with a long empty nothing. How do I cut those timelines off to eliminate that dead time?

I have a button that when pressed goes to the next frame of a external swf file loaded into a movie clip. When the last frame of the external swf is reached, I want the button to go to the next frame of the main timeline (which in turn loads another external swf and the process repeats itself over again).
I assume I have to use an if/then statement, but what exactly is the if clause?
Have a blank stage with 3 movie clips as buttons. When I click them I'm using this code
[Code]...
this triggers the click of the button to return to the main timeline and stop on a specific frame. My issue is that if I click the button a second time, it goes to a blank (or different ) frame, a third click will return it to the proper frame. I'm doing this as some users I work with are mouse clickers, now this is ok if I use a button symbol, but I want them as movieclips. What script can i use to ensure that every click makes the mc operate the exact same (goto specific slide with no randomness)?
I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.

I am a first time flash-maker, and I sure how to get things to work as planned.I have written the following code:
stop();import flash.events.MouseEvent;Weightlifting_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CursorClick);function CursorClick(event:MouseEvent):void{gotoAndStop("25");}
But my problem is that i have a motion tween that startes at frame 5 and ends at frame 25. And the code says that at will go to and stop at frame 25.what I really want it to do, is to go to frame 5, play the motion, and stop at frame 25.
I have a mc with a button to start the animation. User will press the button, mc will play once. Now, how do I advance the main timeline once that mc ends? Right now everything is on frame 1 in the main timeline... frame 2 is where I want the menu etc to appear. I am using flash cs3 and as3.

How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
View 1 Repliessomehow I switched the setting for selecting some frame in the timeline. I was used to click once and have one frame selected. Now it selects the whole time of a keyframe when I click on it not just the frame I clicked on.
how I can set it back how it was?
I am using flash cs3 and I have a series of quotes that fade in and out. I have a movie clip that does the fading in and out and then nested in there I have the quotes.
fadeInOut1_mc (is the instance of the fading in and out)
quotes1_mc (is the instance of the timeline of quotes nested in the above movie clip)
When the quotes end I would like the main timeline in Scene 1 to move to the next frame and play.
fadeInOut1_mc is in the timeline of Scene 1
If I could do that I think I'd be off to the races, but I'm stuck on it.
I am trying to achieve a "Knight Rider" KITT animation where the rectangle slides back and forth between the edges of the frame.The problem is I can only get the rectangle to move in one direction and then it back-steps and keeps moving in that same direction right off screen.How do I get the toggling effect?[code]

View 2 RepliesI have a main timeline with a blank movie in it so that I can click the menu and various swf's load into it. This all works perfectly. Then, I have a contacts page with a form that sends to php which all works perfectly. The thing that doesn't work is that when I click submit the thank you frame immediately afterwards doesn't play. The code I've typed is: On the Submit Button:
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
}
On the movie clip:
onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}
This all works fine in Publish preview but once uploaded to the servers it fails unless you type [url]....then it works fine. Is this something to do with layers and levels etc?
In AS2 I need code for a button, on the main timeline, to go to a frame in a mc off the main time line. I have attached a picture of the time lines in case I have not articulated my needs well.

I made a short movie in After Effects and now I'm trying to add some buttons to it. The movie starts with an intro and when that ends a "continue" button should appear and take you to the next part. My idea was to place a screenshot of the last frame in the next keyframe with a stop() function after the intro and add the button to that but it would be less work to make the button appear the end of the movie using some code I have no idea about
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a webpage that will close itself when an mp3 audio file finishes playing. Right now I'm trying to do this simply by playing the mp3 from a keyframe in the timeline as an event. On the timeline I've placed a blank keyframe with an ActionScript attached to it that looks like this:
import flash.external.ExternalInterfaceExternalInterface.call("closeWindow");stop();
The HTML page that embeds the Flash running the mp3 has a Javascript function called closeWindow that looks like this:

I have a very simple flash movie. It has 6 images that fade in and out in a loop. I created the movie and when I play it in Flash using Control > Play (with loop playback) it all works perfectly, but when I publish it there is a blank space at the end of the movie before it loops through again. It only lasts a fraction of a second but it breaks up the smooth image transitions. I have checked and there are no layers that go past the last image, and there is a keyframe on the last frame of the last image.

I'm still struggling with going from a loaded swf to the next frame in my timeline, where a new swf file will be loaded.Ths is my current code which is trying to move onto the next frame in my timeline is located at the end Frame of a 10 second animation:

how do you do the following
A movieclip is playing...
When it reaches frame 20, it goes back and plays at frame 5. Then it keeps doing this. To me this is harder than it looks
While testing the movie within Flash,the Test Movie window randomly goes blank, showing the stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window,everything reappears... Until a few seconds later, when it snaps back to blank... so I resize, it reappears, it disappears, I resize, it reappears, it disappears... over and over.Resizing even just one pixel is enough to get it to come back. Sometimes it happens every few seconds.
This might be related to another issue: If I Test Movie with the Bandwidth Profiler on, Flash CS4 doesn't resize the window correctly to fit my entire movie in it, resulting in a big blank space underneath the Bandwidth Profiler, and that same amount of space being cutoff the bottom of my movie. I haven't seen anything like this in 10yrs of Flash development. This is a Mac Pro, 8-core. The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD XT 2600. 6GB RAM. 10.5.3-10.5.7
The same FLA works without any issues on CS4/XP. The FLA saved to CS3 works without any issues on CS3/OSX and CS3/XP (same machine).I have all but given up on CS4 for OSX. Between the crappy framerates, the crashing, and not being able to TEST MOVIE, I just avoid CS4 on OSX and use CS3 on OSX or CS4 on XP.

Should bring up a login when you go to that site. However in Chrome It seems to be loading something and then I just get a blank white screen. Sometimes it loads but if you then hit refresh it will bring you to a blank white screen instead of reloading. Also interestingly if you are staring at the white screen, if you double click, click drag click around alot on the page it will come up kind of like its there but not being displayed. this problem only displayed in Chrome -- IE, Firefox, safarii etc. Perhaps my HTML is bad? I can't believe that because when I use the raw-HTML output from a publish in CS5 It is still giving me this behavior? Also others have had this problem with my site so it isn't just my browser/computer combo.
