I created an AS file and used it as a class, inside it I called buttons and slideshow images. After that I decided to create an intro by moving the timeline. My problem is that all the objects are displayed from the very first frame, is there a way to make the entire class start after certain frame? Code for reference:

Is there any way to make a movie clip start at a frame other than 1? I know with graphics it's simple, but with MCs I'm not sure. If possible, I'd like to do it without code, but if that's the only way to do it, I'd like to know that way too.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple Flash movie with a series of still pics fading from one to the next.I want to use it in a web page masthead and I would like the movie to start on a random frame.Is there some simple AS3 code I could use in the first frame that directs the movie to immediately jump to a random starting point within the 220 frames contained in the movie?
View 6 Repliesbut how can i load an external swf into a movieclip, but i want that external swf would start on frame 10 (for example), instead on frame 1.
I have this external swf loading to movieclip1, and there's a button that makes the same external swf to load to movieclip2, but now i want it to load and start on frame 10...
I'm making a platform game at the moment with each levelinside a frame. For the background music I was going to embed thesound sound file in the library and whenever the app moves to a newframe on the timeline new music will play. It needs to be on eachframe as each level of the application is a frame itself.So for example
Frame 2 = Level 1 Plays, BackgroundMusic runs
Frame 3 = Level 2 Plays, Stop Music 1, and Play
BackgroundMusic2

in normal swf files, usually it plays from frame 1 till the end and then loop...
is it possible to use javascripts/any script to make it start play from, e.g. frame 10?
I am using levels for this project to allow transparency transitions between swf files as they load. I created two variables:levelvar=5;removevar=(levelvar - 2)The external swf files load into _level0.levelvar and removevar prevent the root file from unloading. All is well except on one button I want it to load the swf at a particular frame. I tried this:
button.onRelease = function() {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", _level0.levelvar);
gotoAndPlay ("_level0.levelvar" 52);

I have a problem with a project using the FLVPlayback component (the Flash CS4 version) and FMS 3.
Playing back a video works fine. When the video is finished, I hide the FLVPlayback component.
But if I have to play the same video again, the video does not immediately start from the beginning. I see a glitch with the frame the user last stopped on (whether it stopped at the end or wherever in the middle). It never re-starts from the beginning right away.
I have tried different approches to solving the issue:
- tried seekSeconds(0) - tried autoRewind = "true"
- a combination of both
- nulling out the stream source (result in a Runtime error) then setting it again
To no avail.
Bonjour my friends, I have just gotten my hands on Adobe Flash CS4 and while I am rather please with my own ability to use the tools, as I've taken several vector art classes at my local community collage, I simply can't seem to get my head around the Actionscript part, while I completely understand it's purpose and capabilities, and have actually looked at several of the tutorials on this board, I still find myself with many questions.Chief among which would be...Is there a way to make an object move vertically a certain amount, each time you click a button, while preventing it from moving farther than a maximum number?- I looked for something like this in the tutorials, my aim simply being to create a sort of scrolling text box via masks and buttons, but all the tutorials were either far too complicated or required vast set up that would require me to take several steps back from my current location.
Also, is there a way to make the animation start on a frame other than frame one?- It was my understanding that one could simply put in a gotoAndPlay(#); code on frame one and that should cause it to go to and play from whatever frame you specify but that seems to be incorrect as it hasn't worked. Other questions I have include..Is there a method by which one could create a sort of slid show, within another scene? IE you're at scene X and you click a button, and a picture that is part of, but not all of, scene X changes to something else, while the rest remains the same.
I have a image slideshow set up on a time line. Each image is on a different layer and I am looking for a code to make the flash animation start at a random key frame every time the page is loaded. Here is a link to the site I am working on:

View 2 Repliesthis might be an easy question but i have not found the answer. i want a MC to move vertically upwards and then stop. i have the code below but this tweens downwards. i tried changing the -30 value but it doesn't seem to change the starting point. import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(kText,"_y", Bounce.easeOut, -30, 56, 3, true);}; xPosT.onMotionFinished = function() {};
View 3 RepliesI'm working on my RPG combat engine, and everything is coming along nicely, except I'm starting to fill up my game folder with .as class files, and I was thinking it's probably smart to rearrange it so I have a folder for characters/enemies, and one for levels etc etc.I'm kinda learning as I go here so thats why I didnt start out with a planned folder structure.nyway, I can't seem to understand the correct way to go about doing it.Example: I have three classes which extend a "Character" class. They are added to the stage by the "Arena" class, when the Arena object is added to the stage by the "Game_Master" class. All of my classes at this point start with just "package {". How do I put the character files in a folder called, say, "characters"? I've tried a bit, but I can't get it to work. I moved them to the folder, made them start with "package characters {" and tried to "import characters.*;" in eventually just about every class, when just importing them to the Game_Master and Arena didn't work.
View 3 RepliesAlright, so I've been struggling with this one since last night. When I create a new object (a new unit), and draw it to the screen (Flash does all the work there), the point at which it's first placed is considered its origin. That is, getX and getY will return the distance from that point... Why is that? Or how can I stop this?

so I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].........
I would like to store the value from combobox or text area-MovieClip in MyClass and then I'd like to read this from another frame in *.fla file only this :) have you another code? what can I write in frame 2 Miclass and frame 3
View 1 RepliesI copied my actions from frame 3 to frame 4 and frame 4's class doesn't work when frame 3's class works fine and normal, here is the source code:
Frame 3:
stop();
var rowNum:int = 10;
for (var i:int=0; i<rowNum; i++)[code]....
Ok now I am more prepared. I have perfectly fine site. But when compress every thing to one frame. It stop working. Only thing I change is that I remove tween in IDE.

I have a .fla that has 2 classes, one of them extends a movieclip and the other extends a sprite, in the second class I get an external audio and play it, when its done, I have a trace that tells me that it has finished:
Code:
channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, aStart);
}
public function aStart(Event):void

but what I want it to do when the audio is finished playing,is to go to the next frame. �How can I do that?
I am using external AS files for a new project of mine, which involved creating a place to draw so i used the following tutorial to get a basic idea of what is need. I got the hope application working and running smoothly until i decided i wanted to add in a preloading & Menu - putting the drawing part of the app on the third frame - which got me this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
- at Main/convertToBMD()
- at Main()
So I thought instead of adding the Main.as to the Class under properties i would import the file on the frame instead. Using:
var main:Main = new Main();
addChild(main);
This worked apart from it loses all connections to the instance names.
Line 64 1120: Access of undefined property pencil.
Line 65 1120: Access of undefined property eraser.
Line 65 1120: Access of undefined property txt.
Line 82 1120: Access of undefined property board.
Line 83 1120: Access of undefined property board.
Etc.....
So what i would like to know, is there a better way of doing this and getting it working on any frame?By changing something in the external script or another way of importing onto frame?
I have a flash .fla called image.fla. I have a document class file called controls.as that is linked to the
image.fla. The .fla has the following frames; frame_1, frame_2, frame_3,etc
I have buttons such as button_1,button_2,button_3,UploadBtn (common for all frames) in stage etc when i click the button1 it will goto frame_1,if i click button_2 it will goto frame_2,etc.,All frames contains
my_mc..
Within the controls.as file,i ve the functionalites like uploading the jpeg,creating the text for my_mc etc.,
for 1st frame all functionalites working(i can upload,Creating text)..but if it's goes to frame_2
no action for that btn..The .as file only working for 1st frame alone..
I have made a new website flash file, with Website.as as document class, that creates movie clip from the library and align them to the center of the screen. which are ;footer (linkage Footer class)mainContent (linkage MainContent class)I now need to insert a preloader in frame1, so I have checked Export classes in frame 2...but then nothing works anymore. (I do not see any movie clip being created.)
View 3 RepliesI have an application that gets its variable data in XML file.
This application is used for different clients with different data.
Some of the data I pass to the Document class from the first frame. I would prefer to pass url to the XML file the same way, without the necessity to update the document class. But now I have to hardcode this url in the class every time, because I cannot get parameters from the first frame to the class at once, only after some time (like after loading XML with hardcoded url).
Is there a way to force executing of the code on the first frame before the code in the class will proceed?

I've created a card class that holds the specifics properties each card can have. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to associate the graphic with the card. What I have now is a movieclip with each frame representing a different card. The movieclip is linked to the card class I created.I'm trying to do it with variations of this.gotoAndStop(frame#) in the constructor of my card class, which gives me a card graphic but not having much luck in gettng the frame number to increment to the next frame with the next call for: var cardname:cardclass = new cardclass.The worse part of this is I'm not even sure I'm on the right track here, so my main question is: Is this even a viable way to accomplish this? If not, please give an overview outline of how I should be approaching this.
