Actionscript 3 :: Flash MovieClip Code Not Running?

May 25, 2011

I've made a MovieClip of an electric wire with 3 different keyframes with a few frames between each. The first 2 keyframes have a single bitmap in each with a different picture, I want it to cycle between these two to make it look like the electricity is moving and not just sitting there. The 3rd keyframe has nothing, eventually I will put an image with the electricity off, so the player can walk through, I just haven't done it yet. Since I don't want it to run the last keyframe until the player turns it off, I put a gotoAndPlay(); command in the movie clip after the second frame looping it back to the first frame, problem is, the line refuses to work.

I have copied and pasted it from other programs where it worked, I have checked the Frame Name, I put other lines in there, like stop(); trace(); and other things, but could not get ANY line of code to work in the MovieClip. There's probably something like "the layer is invisible, code will not run", but I can't tell what it is. I've deleted the symbol and started over, same problem. I've restarted Flash, same problem. I've restarted the computer, same problem. I even took it to a different computer, same problem. I don't know why it won't run this code, is there something disabling it that I overlooked? I have other code in the main timeline outside the movie clip and code in other movieclips that has always worked fine and continues to work fine, I don't see what the problem is.

I ignored the problem for a while, and worked on other things, but I had to add multiple frames to an existing movieclip (which I believe was created before the other one), and now this movieclip is having the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this, before it spreads to the rest?

Flex :: Adobe Alchemy Tool Create Faster Running Flash Byte Code Than The Compiler?

Dec 8, 2009

I have seen a few blog entries on this and have had a discussion or two with my team mates but I would like to see what the stack overflow community thinks.

So why does the Adobe Alchemy Tool create so much faster running flash byte code than the flex compiler?

Also, when will the flex compiler be able to make similar performance gains? Will it require programmer specific use of special Array's or something of that nature to get the same performance?

Flash :: AS3 - ActionScript Not Running From The TimeLine On A Loaded Movieclip

Jul 3, 2010

I have a AS3 Flash file with some animations during the timeline. On the timeline I also have a stop() in the middle (on a keyframe). When I run this SWF file it does stop. But if I load if from another Flash file using a Loader object it does not stops (nor runs any other action script - i.e.: trace("hi")) I'm also including the context with the current application domain:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Timeline Code Not Running In Loaded Swf

Oct 26, 2010

I am publishing an animation which needs to dispatch events from certain frames on the timeline. The document class is InteractiveAnimation - here's the important bit:[code]When I load it into my player application (into the same ApplicationDomain, I might add) all I get is:"Running constructor of InteractiveAnimation" the timeline trace doesn't happen. Or any other timeline code for that matter.What is killing the framescripts? Has anyone even got any suggestions as to how I might continue to track this down?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Code Running When Adding A Child?

Dec 22, 2009

I have an older program that I need to update. In it I there is a movieclip that displays text. Embedded in that movieclip is a timer that makes the text disappear after a few seconds. Everything worked fine before when I was using flash to put the clips on the stage. Now I need export the symbols and use addChild to display them. My problem is that the timer is starting when I assign the clip to the variable (frame 1), not when I need it to; which is after I add the child (frame 70-ish). If I were starting over there is probably a million simple solutions to this, but I am trying to not rework everything I already made to fix this seemlingly small problem.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Classes Loaded With GetDefinitionByName Not Running Code

Feb 8, 2012

I recently discovered the incredible functionality of getDefinitionByName(), I'm attempting to load in pages for an interactive book.Each page has its own functions, listeners, nested animations, and timers.When loading in these pages, no stop()s are working within the nested clips, and any interactivty has been lost.It's just a mess of a bunch of animations running over and over.[code]

In addition to having the MovieClips not running code, I am running into serious garbage collection issues.I can unload the pages from display, but all sounds continue playing.Does anyone have an idea of why these loaded MovieClips are not running code, and why they will not unload properly with the destroy() method?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Removing The OnEnterFrame At The Beginning Of The XML To Variables Line Of Code, So That Is Stops Running?

Mar 26, 2006

I have a bunch of thumbnails i'm getting from XML that have this code on them...

Code:
for (e = 0; e < total; e++) {
_root.web_thumbs.thumb_button.duplicateMovieClip("button" + e, e + 12);
_root.web_thumbs["button" + e].c = e;[code].....]);

It loads the XML variable fullimg into an empty movie clip on its own layer in the timeline.The movieclip, "container", is assigned this code, but the code isn't on the movieclip, it's on a frame designated for just actionscript.This is the code

Code:
container.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = int(content._x - (content._width / 2) + 30);
this._y = int(content._y - (content._height / 2) + 30);
}

The Problem Is...When there is no image loaded into the movie clip, it works fine, and shifts around depending on the location of the other movie clip, "content". But, once there is an image loaded into "container", it stops shifting around depending on the location of "content", and just sits in its last location.The only thing i can IMAGINE being problematic is, on another frame, where I have the XML being cut up and assigned to variables, at the end I have a remove _root.onEnterFrame, removing the onEnterFrame at the beginning of the XML to variables line of code, so that is stops running.

IDE :: MovieClip Running Very Slow On Stage

I am working with CS5 and I have bunch of movie clips on the stage and each movie clip contains a kinetic typography animation. When I click on each movie clip, the animation starts to play but the problem is that it runs really slow. I use a very detailed font (Sketch Rockwell) which might be the reason for this slowness. And the whole animation looks ugly because of this.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Code Play MovieClip Within A MovieClip?

Jun 18, 2010

Can a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}

[Code]...

All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.

This following Audio-code is on a movieclip within a (Base)movieclip. It stops playing/looping when a button is pressed that gotoAndStops on another frame within the same (Base)movieclip. But when a button is pressed outside the movieclip and (Base)movieclip, which gotoAndStops on another movieclip on the timeline, it continues playing.

Flash :: Timeline Code To Object Oriented Code - Access Instances Already On Stage

Jan 12, 2011

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.

I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.

What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?
