As2 :: Professional - Movieclip Button - Goes To A Blank (or Different) Frame
Sep 8, 2010
Have a blank stage with 3 movie clips as buttons. When I click them I'm using this code
[Code]...
this triggers the click of the button to return to the main timeline and stop on a specific frame. My issue is that if I click the button a second time, it goes to a blank (or different ) frame, a third click will return it to the proper frame. I'm doing this as some users I work with are mouse clickers, now this is ok if I use a button symbol, but I want them as movieclips. What script can i use to ensure that every click makes the mc operate the exact same (goto specific slide with no randomness)?
I'm using Fl for the first time and I'm trying to create a slideshow. Everything was going fine until I realized I had spaced out the different image timelines too far to the right. Now that I've moved them all leftward I have these blank ends that make the slideshow end with a long empty nothing. How do I cut those timelines off to eliminate that dead time?
hi i am having trouble getting my buttons to work right in flash cs4. is it possible to have a button gotoandplay a frame inside a different movieclip? if so how?
In AS2 I need code for a button, on the main timeline, to go to a frame in a mc off the main time line. I have attached a picture of the time lines in case I have not articulated my needs well.
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:
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?
I have created a racing game and over all i got 3 frames and about 10 main layers.. i have tried so many scripts now and they're not working .The game begins on frame 2 while the main menu is on frame 1.Not sure if it matters but i have the menu copied on all the frame 1's of all the layers...
im working on my own site im lost though i copyed and pasted so much but i cant seem to figer somthing out.i have a members sys sitting on a few frames every thing works. but the profile button, i have a total of 11 buttons that are working. i coppyed them put them all on 1 frame with there own instances that contain 3 frames?the first frame is the not active frame the 2ed is the active and 3ed is blank so it wont show. so my login code at this point is
I have a very simple flash movie. It has 6 images that fade in and out in a loop. I created the movie and when I play it in Flash using Control > Play (with loop playback) it all works perfectly, but when I publish it there is a blank space at the end of the movie before it loops through again. It only lasts a fraction of a second but it breaks up the smooth image transitions. I have checked and there are no layers that go past the last image, and there is a keyframe on the last frame of the last image.
Is there a way to go to a specific frame with in a swf that has been loaded to a new blank? I been looking round and can only find going to a specific frame within the main swf..
I've been reading over numerous tutorials and guides as well as the Language Reference for ActionScript 3.0 but cannot quite seem to find anything to learn what I need (which I guess is because everything I have read assumes you would already know how to do this sort of thing).On my stage I have one button (mybtn) and one MovieClip. Within the MovieClip I have numerous other MovieClips (the different parts of a character, leg, arm, head, etc).
One of those MovieClips, lets call it "upper_left_arm" (within the other MovieClip "character") is comprised of two Keyframes, frame 1 and frame 2. There is also a second layer with AS in it, which just has "stop()" in it so it doesn't endlessly play.When I click the button on my stage I want to change the playhead to frame 2 and then stop within the "upper_left_arm" MovieClip.I gather that I almost certainly need to use gotoAndStop.However, most information I have found concerning buttons, AS3 and the gotoAndStop command relate to "scenes" which as far as I can tell are nothing to do with what I want.
Code: stop();mybtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler); function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { upper_left_arm.gotoAndStop(2); }
The "(2)" is the part I think I have horribly wrong, I've tried various other things after "upper_left_arm.gotoAndStop" with no success. In fact, the MovieClip "upper_left_arm" now loops round merrily despite the "stop()" in the AS in that MovieClip itself .
I have created an interactivity to simulate a product. To do this my project has multiple frames. Each frame contains an individual movie clip. The clips each contain buttons that change the display and go to and stop on specific frames based on which button was pressed. My problem is, after the interaction a movie clip may have been stopped on say frame 12, the next time the frame containing the movieclip is opened on the main timeline I need the movieclip to open on frame 12 . However, the movie clip opens back up at frame 1 each time not saving the interaction.
finishing my portfolio website and i've ran into a tiny problem. All my buttons are all in one layer and the whole website takes 4 frames. Within each frame is a movie clip that holds all the content for that page i.e. images and text.The problem: If I navigate to the projects page and am browsing through the content and I want to reload back to the first frame of the projects page (via the projects page button) then the button doesn't reload, I think this is because the button is a part of the main timeline and not part of the movieclip.The question: What code do I need insert into the button to get it to go to frame one of my movieclip.Here's what simple button code am using atm:
I'm having a problem where I have a button on the main timeline that when clicked needs to gotoAndStop first on frame 3, where there is a movieclip, that i want it to gotoAndStop on frame 30 (of that movieclip). Any ideas?
I can't have it just gotoAndStop on frame 3 and then have the code to gotoAndStop on frame 30 either because I need to be able to have the moviecliped called like this a number of different times.
I put a mcBtn in the end game frame, put this code in the frame: mcBtn.buttonMode = true; mcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playGame); function playGame(e:Event):void { play:(1); } The object is to go to frame 1 when you press mcBtn. When I click it, Nothing.
Can i target the second key frame of an empty movieclip which is created by actionscript.as for example:this.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc",1);I want to write some script on the second keyframe on the target_mc movie clip. Is that possible.
When a user rolls over an HTML button, I need that button to tell Flash to go to frame 2. I looked at the Flash Help for the addCallback() and followed their example to use javascript to influence Flash without any success even though I followed it to the letter.
To be clear, I know javascript well enough to copy and paste it correctly and to read what it might supposed to be doing (usualy).
I'm trying to stop my flash animation at a certain frame (allowing the person to click a button to go to another page).When I instert the stop code on a keyframe on my actions layer at the specified frame I want it to stop at it simply keeps looping my movie. The second problem I'm having is making my menu bar like you would see and use on a website.You click the Home button and it goes to the home page.
I am using the radio button component in Flash with a continue button. When the user clicks their option in the radio button and then clicks continue, I want it to go to a movieClips Specific frame. Here is the breakdown and the script I have so far is below.
The radio group os named RadioButtonGroup The instance names for each of the three options are noviceButton,intermediateButton,expertButton My continue button has an instance name of continueButton and my movie clip I am trying to target has an instance name of level_mc here is my code so far:
[Code].....
the problem starts with my varFrame line-I don't know how to get it to go to the movieClip and gotoAndStop at a specific frame, based on which radio button was clicked and after the continue button is clicked.
Basically I have a movie clip that comes up on the stage and plays to frame 230. I have placed a stop(); inside the movieClip on frame 230. I would like to have a continue button come up outside the movieClip on the stage when that movieClip reaches 230.I was hoping this would work but I am having trouble. This code is on the stage level outside the movieClip.Both the continue button and the movieClip are on the stage.
if (movieClip.currentFrame == 230){ continueBtn.visible = true; } else {
What I am trying to do is get a button to make a movieclip go to a specific frame. I have a movieclip that plays a set of frames up to the 100th frame, and then I tell it to go back to and play frame 1 again. However, at about 105, I have another set of frames that I want to play at the push of a button. How would I go about doing this?
How can i access an object (movieclip) at a specific frame which is located inside another movieclip. It's something like this : first movieclip - and inside it, on frame 10 i have the second movieclip. I want to access that second movieclip ont that 10th frame.
In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame); function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(10); }
I'm trying to create a "back" button, but when the user clicks on this button I want the animations to go in reverse and then go to the frame that it is calling. so for example i have 5 notes, what happens first is that "note 1" is on the stage then you click on 'next' and then "note 2" slides in from the bottom and pushes "note 1" up and out of the frame and stops and shows 'back' and 'next' buttons. what i am trying to do is, if the user clicks on 'back' , I want the movie to rewind and have "note 1" slide back down. Or if they click on 'next' 2 will be pushed up and 3 is revealed the same way 2 came in.
