Using Javascript To Trigger An Animation?
Apr 21, 2009
A website I am developing will have a small animation (say 5-10 seconds minor effect) on the logo at the top of the screen. The logo looks static but when you hover your mouse over it, the animation is played. (This is achieved using the 'button' symbol as the animation within flash).
The client now wants the website's plain text navigation, when hovered over, to trigger the animation to play again. I am a very BASIC user as flash but I believe it is possible to send a javascript call to the swf (i.e. each navigation link will include a "onmouseover=' restartFlashAnimation()'"where I need to define that js function) ...and the swf will recognise the function call and then replay the animation.

I want a link to trigger a sound click in flash AS3. I've taken the .play() outside of the function to confirm that it works by itself. What am I missing that will let me call an AS3 function from javascript?
Here is my html
<object width="5px" height="5px">
<param name="movie" value="play_coin_sound/playCoin.swf?v=5">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="play_coin_sound/playCoin.swf?v=5" width="5px" height="5px">

I am currently using ExternalInterface to call JS functions from Flex. Is it possible to do the same the other way around: have Flex execute a function when a certain trigger is executed in JS? I want to have a Flash app with buttons in HTML that when pressed call functions inside the Flex app.

I have a 13 frame animation that I am loading in a hidden <div>. Does anyone know how I can trigger it to start playing when the div is made visible and then hide the div when its finished playing? Currently it loops in the background, which is no good as I want to use it as a page transition. Play once, hide, new page shown.

I have a virtual keyboard on screen, with SimpleButtons for each of the keyboard keys. In addition to using the on-screen keyboard, I want to allow for physical keyboard input as well.
Everything works, but I am looking for a way to trigger the rollover/down/up animation of the SimpleButton if the user uses the keyboard. Is this possible? I'm already capturing the keystroke info and matching it against the SimpleButton, but I don't know how to get the button to play.

I have 2 simple MCs I am trying to control via rolling over the actual animation itself, not a separate button.
Here's the catch though: In one MC the animation is up and down, the other, left to right. I need the user to be able to not only trigger the animation by rolling over it, BUT, control the up and down/left to right action.
When they move the cursor up and down, the animation follows... you get the idea.
Can this be done with an invisible button covering and on top of the animation?

I want to be able to trigger a click on the "Upload" button in Uploadify - the reason being I'd like to be able to choose to upload a file from a dropdown menu and hence need to call "Upload" somehow using javascript - unless anyone has another clever idea?
The following DOES NOT work:
$('#file_uploadUploader').trigger('click');

I have a bunch of buttons each one with a roll over on it that trigger an animation. So far no problem. The problem is that as I would like to add to the buttons a behaviour like this: if you roll over the button more than 200ms the animation happens else nothing happen.
Here is my code:
tab01_mc.buttonMode = true;
tab01_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverTab, false, 0, true); //this is one of the buttons
function rollOverTab (event:MouseEvent):void{
getTimer();
var delayTime:int = getTimer();
trace(delayTime);
if (delayTime >= 200){
event.target.gotoAndPlay("Over"); // over is the animation of the button
}}
But this isn't working because what getTimer actually does is return the time since the whole movie started not since the function star running. So my question is: is the a way to tell AS to start counting from 0 so that I can use the elapsed time as my condition to trigger the animation?

I have a cube and the buttons are meant to trigger an animation to view the different sides of the cube. For optimising and swf hosting sake I want to use one animation on the frames of the timeline but for multiple buttons. e.g. button 1 goes to the start of the animation, then at the end, the action goes to the frame 2. if button 2 was pressed to go to the start of the same animation then at the end, the action goes to frame 3 etc. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this should be done?

I have a sliding menu at the bottom of my screen. When you mouse over the menu it pops up and as it does it triggers an animation of a moving object. The moving object starts "off screen", comes sliding in and comes to a rest in the middle of the menu. The object has buttons on it. What I'd like to do is when a user clicks the button it loads content onto the main stage. Then either after clicking the button or mousing off the menu the object animation will continue on it's merry way out of view (off the menu).
Everything works great except I can't get the button to work! I'm thinking it's a path issue since I've done lots of buttons. So the button is now here:
_root.slidingNav.animationMC.object.button
And I've got the AS on the button:
on (release) {
_root.slidingNav.animation.gotoAndPlay(31);}
Is the button so buried that it's clicking options aren't available?

Note: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.

I've been trying to solve this problem for a number of days now but I must be missing something.
Known Variables:
vi = Initial Velocity
t = Animation Duration
d = Distance.
end velocity should always be zero
The function I'm trying to create: D(0...t) = the current distance for a given time
Using this information I want to be able to create a smooth animation curve with varying velocity (ease-in/ease-out).
The animation must be able ease-in from an initial velocity.
The animation must be exactly t seconds and must be travel exactly d units.
The curve should lean towards the average velocity with acceleration occurring at the beginning and the end portions of the curve.
I'm open to extra configuration variables.
The best I've been able to come up with is something that doesn't factor in the initial velocity.

i have mentioned that my animation needs to work for 5 sec. On 1024 to 1600 monitor it woks fine. But on smaller monitor it's too fast. How do i slowdown based on screen width. i.e animation needs to calculated based on screen width, say i mention for 1024 width it needs to work for 7 sec. Even if the screen decreases it should work for 7 sec. Again on larger monitor since width is more again and time is less (7 sec) the animation is again fast so here again the time has to be increased.

I'm using swfobject to dynamically load a flash object into a div, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to display a loading animation until the flash object is ready for display? In this case, I'm loading an embedded Issuu object, and you can see an example of Issuu loading via swfobject here. Depending on your connection speed, there is typically just a blank white space while the flash object loads, and it'd be great to indicate progress with a loading animation if possible.

My client wants so have a loading animation/movie (already created that in Flash CS5) on the website's start page (root, '/' - the first thing you see when you go to domain.tld).When the animation's finished it should forward to another page (i.e. the real page with the content), e.g. domain.tld/somepage.htm I can do this with, for example, getURL() in Flash and it works fine.
But. Is it possible to kind of preload domain.tld/somepage.htm so the content (almost) instantly appears after the loading animation's finished?Also, a fade-out-fade-in effect would be nice, i.e. the loading animation fades out and the content of domain.tld/somepage.htm fades in.

I have an application done in flash- on the main Scene Level, everything has only one frame but I have MCs and the like that are triggered by actionscript.There are quite a few nested functions on the main actions layer as well as an "onEnterFrame" function that reloads XML data in the background, etc... but that is not the problem.
The problem is, that at one point, I am calling a few MCs that kind of close up a section of the page like blinds- and then I want a text to appear ontop of that now closed area... but if I just write...
Code:
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TextAboveTimeline.theMessage_txt._visible = true;
...it all happens simultaneously, of course.I guess I could check for "BlendeT1"'s (or T2's) current frame (since it's an MC)... but how do I wait while that MC runs / until it reached a certain frame? How can I keep the rest of the actionscript in the main function from continuing?

I need to create a java/html button that, when pressed, queues my flash animation to begin. I believe I understand how it works on the AS3/ExternalInterface end, but I am unable to test it as I do not know how to properly code something to test it with on the Javascript end.

The following doesn't work (although it gives no explicit error), but why not?nd... Is there really no way around it, strictly using the with statement? Forget using for / foreach.
with (object1, object2) {
attribute = value;
method();
}
Why the code above gives no syntax error, doesn't work but is accepted by with?If it's possible, how could we change multiple objects with same attribute using with?
var object1 = { attribute: 3 };
var object2 = { attribute: 2, method: function() { alert('blah'); } };
var object3 = { method: function() {alert('bleh'); } };

I need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.

for some reason, whenever I dynamically load a swf on a $(document).ready() by writing to a div, I am unable to make javascript calls to the browser. Specifically, all calls to the browser return "null". This does not occur when embedding the swf normally on the page load, but I would like to prevent loading of the swf until a specified point in time.
What the heck is going on here? Is there something special about dynamically embedding a swf that prevents the swf from talking to the browser? The methods ARE called (I've proven such by showing alerts), but all return values to any function, regardless of type returned, shows as null when it gets to flash.
