I'm trying to stop my flash animation at a certain frame (allowing the person to click a button to go to another page).When I instert the stop code on a keyframe on my actions layer at the specified frame I want it to stop at it simply keeps looping my movie. The second problem I'm having is making my menu bar like you would see and use on a website.You click the Home button and it goes to the home page.
View 9 RepliesI found this code to play sound:
myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonIsClicked); [code]....
I got it working fine, but was wondering how to program a function for another button to stop stop playing that sound?I tried a function with snd.stop(); but that seems to be incorrect.
What command do I enter for the movie to rewind to first frame on entering a certain frame / stopping in a frame?It's my first time using Flash, and I'm working on a double menu (second menu has a "close" button, where I want to get back to the first menu).
View 5 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 have created a racing game and over all i got 3 frames and about 10 main layers.. i have tried so many scripts now and they're not working .The game begins on frame 2 while the main menu is on frame 1.Not sure if it matters but i have the menu copied on all the frame 1's of all the layers...
View 4 RepliesI have a simple flash movie that contains multiple frames which make up the sections of a simple site. I have built the navigation so that when you click a button, the movie advances to the proper frame/section. So far so good.My problem is that when I get to the FAQ section of the site, the movie clip that makes up the faq answers plays to the second frame, not the first. The first frame of the movie clip has a stop action in the actionscript, as does the second. But no matter what I do, any time it loads, it quickly plays to Frame 2. I do have buttons that play different frames of this movie clip, but they are attached to mouse over events and nothing else.
View 2 RepliesI want my movieclip to play once and stop on the last frame. I use the following code in the loop of my movieclip class. (this is as3)if(currentFrame == 120)stop();120 is the last frame. It plays once. but the problem is it goes back to frame 1 again. is there a better method of stopping a movieclip on a particular frame.
View 7 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4, and all the actionscript so far has been Actionscript 3. I have some videos in my project -- this is being exported as an exe for cd distribution, rather than a website thing. So each video is wrapped inside a movie clip, which is wrapped inside another movie clip that deals with playing/pausing it, which is wrapped inside another movie clip that gives scrollbox functionality, which is placed on the stage. On the main timeline is a keyframe every frame, each of which has a stop() action, so that each frame is essentially a different "page" and you can navigate between these with menu buttons which call gotoAndStop().
The problem is, if the video is playing when you click a button to navigate to another frame, it continues playing even though it's no longer on the screen. You can hear the audio in the background. In addition to this, if you navigate to a frame four frames ahead, and each of the frames in between has a video, all those videos will start playing in the background as well.
I want to make sure that when you are on a particular frame the only video which will play is the video on that frame. If there is no video on that frame, no video should play. I was hoping that I could just catch the moment when you move away from the frame and call stop() on the video there, but I can't seem to catch that point. The FRAME_EXIT event seems to catch the end of the render loop or something so that it happens every time it draws the frame, rather than when you actually leave the frame and move to another one. In addition, I'm not sure catching the point where you move past a frame would help the problem with videos from in-between frames being started, as those frames are never entered so presumably never exited either.
I have created an instance of FLCPlayback named "chili_player" which, depending on which button is clicked will play a certain video. This all works great.
my videos are located within videos_mc and in frame 80 of my site. I have other movie_clips and frames set up for other pages.
I have tried the normal method of placing the following code on every other frame the user can view.
videos_mc.chili_player.stop();
but it does not work and I get the following error message.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm trying to create a site based on flash.I have 5 frames that correspond to different links and then buttons created with functions to move to each frame using gotoAndStop. On one of those frames i'm loading an image gallery (which seems to be working); however when I click on another button to go to a new frame the images from the gallery stay.I would like for them to disappear when I go to a new frame.I think this is an easy fix but i've been stuck on it for three days.[code]
View 0 RepliesI'm sure this has been addressed before, but I'm going a bit crazy here. I have a button that I want to go to a frame labeled "start" but in Internet Explorer it snaps back to the button's frame. I don't know what's going on. I've done this a hundred times before and it's worked. Is it because I'm in Flash CS4 saving as Flash CS3 - in Actionscript 2?
View 1 Repliesim looking to be able to use a mouse click to trigger an animation of something spinning. but depending on which event listener is clicked i want the animation to stop at a specific frame for each thus allow further mouse clicks and feature access. does anyone know how i can do this in AS3?
View 1 Repliesi can't figure out how to do this... ok, here's what i need. i have a movieclip that plays, (its bars on a motion guide) and i want it, depending on a variable to play to a certain frame. so, lets say the variable = 1 then i would want it to play until it got to frame 15 then stop, if the variable = 2 then i would want it to play until it got to 30.
View 3 RepliesI am placing my code within frames and using the code below to hit test an object. After the animated object leaves the stage, the hit test starts getting errors because it is now looking for an object that isn't there. NULL
Code:
var o1:MovieClip;
o1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, o1hit);
function o1hit(Event) {
[Code]...
So the question is: How can I get the Hit Test to stop after a certain frame? Or does it have to do with the EventListener?
When a user rolls over an HTML button, I need that button to tell Flash to go to frame 2. I looked at the Flash Help for the addCallback() and followed their example to use javascript to influence Flash without any success even though I followed it to the letter.
To be clear, I know javascript well enough to copy and paste it correctly and to read what it might supposed to be doing (usualy).
i simply want the button to random between frame 2-53! not 1-53..can u make it work : )here is my code:

I am trying to simply stop the movie from playing on a frame, the way we used to do with stop(). Every tutorial source I have looked at is a blur of words like stop and movie being used in too many ways. I'm not stopping an external flv. I'm not stopping an external or embedded swf. I just want to stop the movie that this frame is a part of until the user chooses to advance to the next frame.
View 1 RepliesI have a couple of sound clips that I'd like to be able to play. I want one clip to play per frame (the frames are timed to a certain length through a set interval action). When I advance to the next frame (either when the timer runs out or I click a button) I want the first frame's clip to stop and the second clip to begin. IE: I have clip A and clip B which correspond to Frame A and Frame B. I go to frame A and clip A plays, I go to Frame B and Clip B plays (Clip A having stopped).
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a "back" button, but when the user clicks on this button I want the animations to go in reverse and then go to the frame that it is calling. so for example i have 5 notes, what happens first is that "note 1" is on the stage then you click on 'next' and then "note 2" slides in from the bottom and pushes "note 1" up and out of the frame and stops and shows 'back' and 'next' buttons. what i am trying to do is, if the user clicks on 'back' , I want the movie to rewind and have "note 1" slide back down. Or if they click on 'next' 2 will be pushed up and 3 is revealed the same way 2 came in.
View 5 RepliesI have a button on frame #1. On that frame, I used the following code I found on the web (which I tried using both AS2 and AS3):
stop();function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent);void{gotoAndPlay(2);
I get errors of varying sorts. What should I use? AS2 or AS3? And what code should I assign to the button (or that button's frame?) to get it to go to frame 2 once clicked?
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)?
What I want to have happen is when you mouse down on the button/MC the block_mc will first jump to frame 40 and then it needs to check and stop when the block_mc reaches frame 12. I have attached a simplified version of what I was trying to do

View 5 Replieshi i am having trouble getting my buttons to work right in flash cs4. is it possible to have a button gotoandplay a frame inside a different movieclip? if so how?
View 2 RepliesI am writing a little app, and have buttons and sliders on one frame 1 of the stage, and then a help screen on frame 2 of the stage. I have some event listeners attached to the objects of the first frame. When I move to the second frame, and then go back to the first frame, all the event listeners have gone out of scope, and no longer work. (at least that is what I think is happening). I think the best way would be to add something like add Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE listeners to each object, and have the listener function add the event listeners that I want for each item.
So I would have:
public function Document(){
super();
iSlider.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, added);
iSlider.removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removed);
myButton.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, buttonAdded);
myButton.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, buttonRemoved);
}
In each of the listeners, I would add / remove the listeners that actually respond to the button / slider.
I have created a movieclip that is simply asking a question and the user chooses from a list of Radio buttons.I have set this up and it works fine, but I cannot figure out how to set up a "Next" button or a "Submit" button that, depending on the radio button choice made, the user goes to a specific frame or label.I bought the Adobe Flash CS5 bible, but there seems to be little information on controlling Radio buttons, only how to set them up to test.

I have no idea how to use AS3 and I was needing to make my project looping 3 times from the start to the end but stopping on the last frame after the 3rd time it loops. I have no idea how to do this without copying all the frames.
View 2 Replies1. The old main logo was not as wide as the new one, so now the entire new one is not clickable (to take you back to the main page). How do I fix this?
2. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make text (or a button if need be) link to a specific flash frame. If you look on the site, there are a couple of spots under "What We Do" that I need clickable to take them to the Contact Us page.
