I'm building a presentation that utilizes cue points to bring in external swfs.I don't have the first clue as to how to rewind through the original presenation so that it includes the external swfs in the rewinding process.Here's the code for the presentation:
display.autoPlay = true;
display.activePlayControl = true;
display.controllerPolicy = "on";

I rendered a 3d cube spinning in different directions using cinema 4d. I imported the entire sequence into flash as a movie clip. My goal is to set up buttons that will take you to certain points of the cube sequence. i.e. frame 1 scene is top of cube-the user presses a button and the cube animates to a different side-information pops up.Basically i have 3 buttons, they all animate the cube to different sides of it. I would like to animate back to the first side of the cube if the "home" button is pressed.
im attempting to use if else and currentFrame, but im having some trouble. I also tried using prevFrame(); instances when a button is pressed but didn't know how to stop it when the cube got to a specific side. Below is an example of my code.

Rewinding imported videos: I can remember a book that showed me how to do it, but i can't remember how.
View 2 RepliesBasically I have a series of animated movie clips that need to play when they are triggered by a button (button 1)....
(This bit I can do...But the next bit is tricky:
Then, the animated movie needs to rewind, when the button (button 1) is clicked on again, or triggered by clicking another button (button 2). - I have also figured out the rewind part using a movie controller [code]...
i've followed several tween classes tutorials across the internet. here's what I'm currently trying to do: there will be three buttons (let's name it A,B,C). when the user click A, it will move to X,Y coordinate on the stage (i've succeeded and have done it). then, when the user click B, B will now move to the same coordinate (succeeded too).
what i failed to do is when the user click B, i want A to return to its original position. do i have to use rewind or yoyo method to do this? how? can someone show me? this is my actionscript on frame 1: *info: top_mc is button A instance, mid is button B and btm is button C*

I just completed the "Playing Sounds using ActionScript" tutorial. I figured out a button to rewind the sound to the beginning. Is there a way to also rewind the sound, say two or three seconds each time the user clicks the rewind button? I've been using Flash since v4, but haven't ventured too far into ActionScript beyond the Movie Controls.
View 3 RepliesI have an flvplayback component on the stage of a parent flash project. One can preview a video that has some text overlaying it that the user entered in a previous scene. Dynamic cuepoints sync the video with the overlaying text.If the viewer doesn't like the preview they can go back to the previous scene, edit the text, and rewatch/preview the video with the overlaying text to make sure they like it.
I'm running into an issue when they stop watching the video preview, they go back to the previous scene and they return to the video preview scene. I stop the video with a .stop() and I rewind it with a .seek(0) but when they return to the video player and rewatch the video there's a brief audio pop. I'm assuming the pop is a bit of video/audio left in the buffer of the flvplayback component.
My question is - is there a way or what is the best way to clear the buffer of the flvplayback component when I rewind the video so it can be replayed?Is there a better way to rewind an flvplayback to the beginning other than .stop() & seek(0) so I don't get a audio pop when it's replayed?
I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
For my movie, I plan to have 4 buttons, low, med, high, and auto. I want to specify the points in the movie where the quality should be lowered for slower computers (auto button). The beginning of the slow part would be MED quality and then after it's passed, I want to reset it back to BEST.
Code:
_quality = "MEDIUM";
_quality = "BEST";
But how do I get the other 3 (low, med, high) buttons not follow the path I set for the auto quality?
I'm using cue points to trigger animated movie clips over the top of an .flv video file.
Problem is, by the time the cue point triggers the _mc, the movieclip has finished it's animation and shows the end frame of the animation only.
I need the movie clip to only start to play from start to end once it's triggered by the cue point.
I'm very new to flash and even though i'm capable of using the search function and finding posts which look relevant i don't really understand them, most notably i am only familiar with controlling a movie clip with buttons within the movie clip symbol and i get confused by actionscript that seems to do otherwise.
Within a frame on my main stage i have a movie clip symbol of around 125 frames. To control this movie clip symbol i have 4 button symbols within the movie clip symbol. The actionscript code that runs throughout this movie looks like this[code]...
This leads to free frame by frame navigation using the buttons forward_btn and backward_btn and if you'd like to move to set points in the animation you can use the fastforward_btn which plays the movie clip forwards until it hits a stop command on one of my chosen frames.
What i'd like to do is have a button that plays the frames backwards until it hits these frames. Is there a combination of while loops and prevFrame() i can use or anything straight forward?
I'm working on a pathfinding algorithim using A* and using irregular polygon shapes as obstacles rather than a grid. I don't fancy plugging in all the points and links by hand and was wondering if there was some way I could just get them from a Sprite or MovieClip?

I'm loading movies into my parent movie, and i was wondering if it was possible to communicate between the two - so i could swap out other external SWFs (in the parent) based on input in the loaded movie.I'm still relatively new to Action Script, and have been learning quick, but i have been unsuccessful in my attempts so far.
View 3 Repliescan someone give me the AS for loading external swfs into a movie? the swf name is slideshow.swf. (i am trying to load a slideshow into the movie using AS so that when the keyframes his the "stop();" function, the slideshow does not stop) or is their a better way of accomplishing this?
View 1 RepliesI am trying, and have started to create a movie with 3 external swfs, and one nice chunky one to start. I am combining some aftereffects video stuff, so the files are kind of large. What I am doing so far, is setting up a simple preloader (one that I got from here) and then on frame three, embedding the first segment of my movie. Once that first segment plays, and gets to frame 220 or so, I then have a container placed with the loadmovie command, to load the next swf. And then so on, and so on.
It works fine, however, there is a pause when the _root gets to the next frame container to load the movie. The reason being I am sure, is that the movie isn't loading while the initial _root movie segment is playing. Is there a command I can use maybe on frame 3 of the _root, right after the preloader, to trigger the download of the next movies?
I have looked at some different forums, and have done the searches, but nothing specifically answers this for me--or quite possibly, I am just overlooking the obvious.
I would like the preloader to still only load what is on the initial _root timeline, but as i said, have the other swfs loading while that first part is playing.
I am trying to to load different swfs into an empty movieclip at different depths using
my_mcl.loadClip("1.swf", "container_mc", 1)
my_mcl.loadClip("2.swf", "container_mc", 2)
and so on...
The problem is that instead of loading into the next highest depth it is simply loading over the previous loaded swf.
How can I stack loaded movies into the same movie clip?

Anyway, I have a main.swf with a menu that is its own mc. (It needs to pop up when the menu button is clicked), from this menu I need external swfs to open inside my main.swf. I also want my external swfs to play in order. like mod_1.swf plays and then opens mod_2.swf ect.
(the menu is just for the user to jump around)
So I have started with this code... on the main timeline(Scene) I have a target code
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
container._x = 0
container._y = 0

I am building an interface that loads swfs externally into an array(pre-loader) my code places these swfs into a container movie clip on stage when called.I am trying to access the swf that is now a child of the movie clip so i can rewind, pause, and play the swf.Currently they are loading in just fine, but my code isn't able to touch the swf. The swfs also play all the way through when they are loaded so when i change to the next one of the sequence my swf is already at its end frame.
Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();//Variable creation-----------------------------------------------------------------var _swfLoader:Loader;var _swfRequest:URLRequest;//creates an array with all the swfs locations inside--------------------------------var _swfPathArr:Array = new

I have a main flash movie, that launches an external swf. Now this works fine, but this external SWF, launches more external mini SWFs. What happens is that after going opening and closing these mini swfs, is that eventually the main swf, will start to to run beneath the the 1st external swf. i.e. I have a small animation that is suppose to stop and remain invisible until the secondary swf is closed.
But this is not the case, and very randomly this will start to happen, and it makes everything look like crap. At first I thought it was the fonts that I was using through out the swfs, because there were some design changes, but after updating the SWFs with the new embedded font I am still running into this issue.
Look at it like this.
main swf---->2nd swf--->numerous 3rd swfs
This is my first time working with As3 and im a bit lost, everything is so different from the old good As2... what im trying to achieve is to create a simple virtual tour, i have a map with a few buttons on it that when clicked should lead to a panoramic swf that contains a picture of that particular place in the map. I already have the map and the panoramic swfs. But im clueless as to how to actually put them all together in one document. I tried by using this method but for some reason that loads just the panorama swf and not the picture inside it.

im using a load targetscript to load external swfs into the main timeline of my movie, however im keeping much of the other layers/mc's loaded, and the external swf is loading over them, the level the blank movie clip is created in doesnt seem to be working propperlly?? whats going wrong?
bandb.onPress = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("empty2", 4);
loadMovie("flash/band.swf", "_root.empty2");

how to add a percentage preloader to this fla?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a portfolio site for an art director. He has access to final swfs but not fla files, and I'm calling these final swfs into a main movie, using MovieClipLoader. The external swfs live in subfolders, relative to the location of the main movie. The problem, of course, is that when the external swfs are loaded they look for any additional swfs relative to the movie they're loaded into, and not relative to the folder they're located in. I've tried _lockroot -- no dice.
View 1 RepliesI think what I am looking for is a random action script. I want to make a swf (mainmovie.swf) that would call up random swfs. What would be ideal is that every time the person goes to the site a different file is called up out of the files I created. So what I have done is put my (mainmovie.swf) into a folder with all of the other swf files I want to be random. It does not need to load to any specific level or anything it could even just replace the original move (mainmovie.swf) what ever is the easiest.

View 1 Replieswhen loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?
