Actionscript :: MovieClip Dissappears After Frame Change?
Jan 27, 2012
So I have a button movieclip, it has two frames inside it. onRollOver() I switch to frame 2 and onRollOut() I return to frame 1. The problem is that at run-time I draw two new movieclips inside this and alter their depths using swapDepths() so they appear below the existing movieclip.
The problem is that after you roll-over and then roll-out, the movieclips dissappear. I am assuming this is because the MovieClips I swapped their depths with get redrawn over my MovieClips's depths. How could I avoid this behaviour? The MovieClips I draw at run-time must be below everything else inside the button MovieClip, and I can't have a holder MovieClip inside the button in which to situate them.

I got a MovieClip filled with a lot of others clips... When I change de X or Y value of this first MovieClip the frame rate slows down for during 1 frame. For exemple... I created a counter that returns around 30 mseconds every frame, but when I do this X or Y change the return is around 400 mseconds... When I try to fill the first MovieClip with less information it goes faster, about 100+-200 mseconds...

I have a scene with a monster. Monster blinks its eyes. Eyes blinking is a separate MovieClip. Under some conditions, monster opens its mouth. Mouth opening is a separate MovieClip as well. At this moment I have to hide eyes MovieClip. As soon as monster closes its mouth, I must make eyes blinking visible again. My idea is to have some listener that listens to Mouth_opening MovieClip. When Mouth opening's currentFrame changes from 1 to 2, I will hide eyes. When it changes from 2 to 1, I will show it back.
So, the question is: how do I listen to currentFrame changes? Event.ENTER_FRAME is not appropriate: it's being called every render frame, not only when currentFrame changes.

This is a CS4 file so and I have CS5 so if you give me either it will be awesome
I have a movie clip that follows the mouse..
Its not done yet but its gonna be a dog chasing a/the mouse...
I want to have it where the if the mouse is left or right of the following movie clip it shows it walking toward the mouse... so something like
if mouse positions is less the the cursor + 10 (pixels) goto and play frame with dog walking left and one for right up down (I want this to walk till its directly under or over mouse and then laydown or jump only when over or under mouse..
(say its a 20 pixel wide object and 10 on each side will cover the whole thing and not just the exact center pixel, thats what the 10 + movie clip position is for, but Is there a way to tell it to goto and play whatever_frame when mouse is left of any graphic on the sitting dog section??? like the equivalent of onRollLeft or whatever.)
this is the code i have.. its the top statement that doesn't work the bottom 2 do..
Code:
if (_xmouse < detail.x+10) {detail.gotoAndPlay(61);
}
detail.onRollOver = function() {
detail.gotoAndPlay(31);
[Code].....
I already created the shapes and placed them in the appropriate frames.. you should only need to mess with the actions on the instance "detail" (the dog face in frame 1 of scene 1 in layer "follower" ---- just the actionscript needed for that instance is needed in the reply.. you should not need to chage any of the layers, but if you do just tell me what you did and why.
my fla is to big to upload to this form so im placing it on my website here

I am trying to create a code to have a "play" button on the middle of the screen that disappears after clicking and at the same time have a play/pause/runtime toolbar on bottom that appears only oh hover. My video is in .swf and .flv and can be converted to whatever's necessary for FLash CS4. There is a downloadable file "example" on this board (http:url....)which accomplishes exactly what I'm searching for.I couldn't attach the example file to this message as Adobe blocks some of their own file types.(don't know why)I tried to embed my video into this code but have failed.

I have a menu with 4 movieclip buttons (movieclips that act as buttons) that when pressed make the timeline jump to a certain frame. The mc buttons have both "onrollover" and "selected" states. However the timeline also moves on its own, even if no button is pressed.
I need the buttons to assume the "selected" state when the timeline reaches a specific frame (as if the button had been pressed to make the timeline jump there). But I can't figure out how to do it althought I think it must be quite simple.
This is the code I'm using (controls the buttons and its on the first frame of the main timeline)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
// create an array of all nav buttons in group
var groupinfo:Array = [birds, bears, bats, bunnies];
// create constants to define start and stop of fadein and fadeout sequences
// (fadeout should be exactly the same sequence as fadein, in reverse frame order)

I'm working with an Adobe Flex project and I have data I'm plotting against a DateTimeAxis (X-axis) but because there are a lot of points, I have to do some manipulation and remove some objects in the array (I do this by copying data to another array, removing items, then copying the new array into the original array). However, sometimes after I do this, the date labels disappear off of the x-axis! Why does this happen? I look through my array and I cannot find a reason its occurring (no objects with nothing in them, everything appears in chronological order).

I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?

I am making a quiz/game, and it works like this, two teams that have to take over the united states, by answering history questions, so right now I have it were when you click on a state, it takes you to a question (on a different frame in the main timeline), then I have a problem, if you get the question right it takes you to the "board" of the United States (that works), but when you are back the color of the state should change its color to red (on frame of the clip) if south got it and blue (another frame of the clip) if north got itBut instead i changes back to grey (default color, all start grey to begin with). I don't and can't seem to figure this out

I've been following the book "Beggining Flash Programing for Dummies" and I have come up to a part where I create a very simple game.
The script involved in the frames are FRAME here:
stop();
btnGoThere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("there");
} //end event handler
Frame there
btnGoHere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("here");} // end release
When I test the movie and click the button, the frames don't seem to change.

I'd like my Flash site to be bi-lingual. What I have currently is a Flash movie with an empty Movie Clip which then allows users to go from movie to movie. The movies are all small movieClips that are loaded into the empty movieclip on demand. There is some video and text in each of the 30 movieClips.
Here is sample of code that i'm using to call up next MovieClip.
[Code]...
My solution for the bilingual version is to create a separate frame with the French version + video and then when user presses the French button they are directed to that frame. This way I could easily create the French text within the one movie. however i don't know the Actionscript code to call up a movieClip to play from frame 10, and not frame 1.

I was having trouble even knowing quite what to search for so I figured asking a question in a forum would be the best way to go. Currently I am making an application where I have multiple movieclips of equal duration on multiple frames. For example, movieclip_1 is on frame 1 and is 40 frames long. There is currently a scrub bar that scrubs through the 40 frames of movieclip_1. On frame 1 of the Scene there are also buttons with the actions to gotoAndStop on frame 2, frame 3, and frame 4. Frame 2 contains movieclip_2, frame 3 contains movieclip_3, and so on. The functionality of this is that it shows medical conditions progressing from different angles and when a button is clicked the display shows a close up of just that one angle. As expected, without any actions on the movieclips navigating from one frame to the next brings up the proper new movieclip but they always begin at frame 1. What I would like to be able to do is somehow have my movieclips know what frame they are on so when a button is clicked the application would go to that frame and open that movie clip to the same frame as the previous one that was just navigated from.

This may be a really simple question but I'm trying to go to a frame on the timeline which has a movieClip object in it and then goto a specific frame in that movieClip and I can't figure out how to code it. I thought something like:
gotoAndPlay("movieClipframe");
this.theMovieClip.gotoAndPlay("theFrame");
but I get a null reference error.Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong or if I'm?

How can I get a button inside a movieclip link to a frame in another movieclip on the scene? I tried this code:
function gotoCenter(event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(root).centermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
skruetest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCenter);
..where "skruetest" is the button, "centermc" is the movieclip where I want to go to frame 2. I don�t get errors with this code, but nothing happens when I click the button. What can I do?
