Timeline Control In AS3 On Frame Load?
Sep 10, 2009
What was simple is now documented by 15 pages of chicken scratchesI have searched through the docs and am just lostWhat I want to do was simple enough in AS2: onClipEvent (EnterFrame)_root.gotoAndPlay("2");But can't be done now. It doesn't work as a frame action either without the onClipEvent. All I want to do is go from the last frame of the timeline to frame 2 and skip the preloader. How the heck do I do that in AS3? I've searched online and cannot find the method, and perhaps search terms don't work. Anything I can find applies to AS2.

Trying to load a movie clip into another movie clip and control the loaded clip timeline from main stage.
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Transcription-RNAChain.swf");
[code]....
The movie appears to load, as it appears on the stage, but it throws the following error in the debugger on frame 1:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Additionally, I'm getting neither the result of function loadingError or function finishedLoadingFunction.

I am working on a flash piece that is composed of one master swf that has five options/sections within it. Each option loads two separate swfs that operate at the same time. Within those swfs are url links which open in the same window, replacing the page with the flash piece on it. Is it possible to link back from the opened url in a way that will go to the frame in the main swf's timeline that will reload the relevant swfs?
I had suggested just targeting a _blank window but the person I am attempting this for doesn't want that.

I have a main flash file that I load various external swf files into. On the first frame of the timeline, there is an intro swf loaded that basically welcoming the viewer to the site. What I want to do is have this load, play and unload and then go to frame two of the timeline where the main home section of the flash site is located.One my first frame on the timeline I have:loadMovieNum("/IntroMovie.swf",1);stop();n the external IntroMovie, I have unloadMovie (1); so the movie will play and then unload itself. What I can't figure out is how to get the timeline to go to the next frame once this movie is finished playing and has unloadedIf I don't put the stop in there, it simply skips this movie and goes to the next frame on the timeline and loads the home movie swf file.Is there a way to use some sort of if statement, that if the movie is unloaded, goto the next frame, sort of like this:if(code to verify if movie is unloaded);gotoAndStop(2);

I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?

Where can I find ready-made buttons that will control an FLV and a timeline together? I have a swf with an FLV and I animate images and phrases on a movieClip timeline timed to what they say in the flv. I set up cuepoints that trigger the animations, so when users scrub, pause, etc. the timeline eventually catches up with the FLV, but it would be a lot nicer if the pause, scrub, etc. would do the same to the timeline and there was no lag time.

I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.

in AS2 how would i use the down arrow key to make the timeline play? at the moment i have this and i presume i need to put something after that to make it play. [code]but i presume this is totaly wrong because the "stop();" doesnt stop the clip when the "if (Key.isDown(40))" bit is after it.

I have an application with a collection of sounds in the timeline. One sound file is recorded at a slightly lower volume than the others. I know I could change this in Audacity but I'm wondering whether I could attach a line of actionscript to its button to raise its volume slightly.I know its possible to do this when playing sounds with actionscript directly from the library, but that would be too big a departure from the development style used.

I am creating a very simple presentation in CS3, which will be projected on-screen and will have a live speaker. I would like to be able to pause the SWF at various locations along the timeline so that the speaker my discuss issues on the screen, and then presume playing it. Since don't want this control visible (such as with a button) to the audience, I would like the control either with the press of a key, such as the arrow right key, or with a remote controller. How would I encode this both with the press of a key or with a remote controller?

in the old version of flash, there was an option in the property inspector where one could have assigned ie. 8 seconds to a keyframe (esp. text) so one could read the let's say 3 sentences before the next set of sentences came on the stage. i swear there was an option for this in flash 8. can anyone tell me how to control the timing in flashcs4 in between frames? i know how to make the very last frame stop( ); in actionscript 3.
