I am using a template that the buttons have actionscript in them already. I tried replacing "get url" with "gotoAndPlay" a certain frame. I need the button to go to frame 113 after i click on this button.
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>p) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
[Code].....
Right I only want to play a certain part of my MovieClips Timeline depending on the button pressed.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
CircleLineMC.KingsCross.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, KingsCrossBtn);
function KingsCrossBtn(event:MouseEvent):void {
BigSquare_MC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
But I want it to play only up to frame 50 and then stop there and then loop instead of playing the whole timeline, does anyone know How to do that.
I am needing to export portions of my timeline as separate .mov files. Exporting the entire thing at Best quality yields too big of a file. Does anyone know how to do this from within Flash pro?
View 1 RepliesI remember in an older version of flash you could put a gotoAndPlay statement in the last frame of a sequence telling it to go back to the first frame in a sequence, but as I understand it you are not supposed to put script into frames anymore. So is there a way to tell a movie clip to play and repeat just part of its timeline (say a walking sequence) and then have it change to a different sequence later (such as jumping)?ed.
View 1 RepliesOn a streaming video, how do i allow for clicking to an unloaded part of the flv player timeline, and have the player start downloading from that point on?
View 1 RepliesI have a timeline composed of 10 layers, having got keyframes and tweens etc all positioned, I need to make part of it e.g. 5 secs longer. How is this done, I can highlight one column of frames and right click and choose insert frame but doing that for 120 times (5 x 24fps) is going to take too long. I hoped to see in right click an option for add frames with a duration or number of frames entry window.I saw something on the internet that said select a width of frames and hit F6 but for me that launches a screen capture prog and I cant see where in that prog F6 is nominated for that capture.
View 3 RepliesI need to create a tall background, when the user clicks on a button the background will scroll up and down to the area that the user wants to go to. ( I　attach an image of how that might look like)
The background is divided in to 4 sections, the way i figure to do this, is to have each section be a different part of the timeline- and what Ｉ need to happen is as the user arrives at one of the sections or in that part of the timeline the mc's on that sections start playing and stoping once he/she leaves.
If there is a better way of doing this as well- feel free of telling me- Im use flash about once a year.
I cant see my keyframe bar if its called that, 5 - 10-15 etc, I tried resetting workspace everything but cant get it back, any ideas?
View 3 RepliesI've been looking at other posts and trying to cobble this together, but am lost. I have a movie I need to play from frames 1-45 five times then continue from frame 50 to frame 70 and stop. on frame one I have the following script (in a layer for actions)
if (numberOfTimesToLoop<5) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
numberOfTimesToLoop++;
} else {
gotoAndPlay(50);

I would like to find out, how can i make that only a selection is made a button, for example I have a picture (.PNG format) with a transparent background, and the image in the PNG is what i want to be a button, but when i convert the PNG to a button then even the transparent part becomes a button. how can I have only the pic as a button.

I have a swf file "home" that has a series of animations that are button controled.I want part of the animation to be skipped when I click one specific button, for instance.Most of the time I want frame label:"1 out" to play all the way through to the last frame (20) and on frame (20) there is an action sending it back to frame 1and stopping, but I need to have a button that when hit plays frame label 1: "1 out" and continues to frame (19) and does not utilize the action on frame (20) sending it back to frame (1), or in other words playing through "1 out" and then playing "2 out" which occurs on frame 21 without returning to frame (1).
View 6 RepliesI'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.
I've created a 3 state button, then imported it to a movie clip. I want to use a set of 6 of the identical buttons as navigation controls, so I've created 6 instances all named uniquely. My problem seems terribly simple, but I can't find an answer anywhere and I've spent hours going in circles.
No matter how I put a text label on the button (right now it is built into the button as dynamic text), when running the final file when the user's mouse is on the text the button cannot be clicked - it disables the button. So I have 6 buttons that cannot be clicked unless the user clicks right on the edge of the button (not on any part of the text). Is there not a simple way to overcome this? How do I make the text part of the button so it is clickable as well?
I'm trying to put an "invisible" button under part of a large button, but if I put it under the larger button, the invisible button doesn't work. If I put it on top of part of the large button, the large button doesn't work... Is there some way to make it so that both the buttons work...?
View 8 RepliesI have a replay button that is already working great, but I want the arrow part of the button to spin in the 'Over' state. What I tried was creating a looped frame. I went inside the button itself, (button composed of an arrow symbol and text). I then went to the 'Over' state and went to edit the arrow symbol itself.when I drag the playheader in there, it seems to loop just fine, but when I export it it's not working.
View 9 RepliesI am doing a simple Flash button that controls the playing of a moving clip.I want the movie to go to frame one and play when I mouse over the button and I want it to go to frame 12 and play when I mouse out. I have stop(); at frames 1, 12 and 25 to prevent looping.The mouse_over part works fine, but the mouse_out part is unresponsive.Here is my actionscript:
stop();
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, playMovie);
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, unwindMovie);[code]......
I want to delete a row of my datagrid when someone click a button part of that row located below Delete Column. I tried many different way one of those were to
<mx:DataGrid id="userGrid" dataProvider="{userGridData}" width="800" height="500" itemClick="userGrid_itemClickHandler(event)" creationComplete="userGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event)">
<mx:columns>
[Code].....
The item render ev.renderers.UserGridEditRender has a delete button listing for click event it basically do userGridData.removeItemAt(userGrid.selectedIndex);
(UserGridData = Data provider of grid with id "userGrid") But whenever I click the button an exception is throw
RangeError: Index '-1' specified is out of bounds.
How do I link a button thats embedded in frame 2 (music page timeline) to a frame in the main timeline ( frame 3= biography page)? Both pages are on the same scene with link buttons embedded in each page independent timeline.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make it so that when a user inputs the correct word an event happens. It almost works except that the event doesn't fire until the NEXT keystroke. Is there a way to test for the word AFTER the keystroke has become part of WriteInOneText.text, without adding a separate button or anything? Here's the code:

Ok perhaps ive bitten off too much here...I know you are not supposed to parse xml/html to regex but the thing is there just arent many other options.Im using AS3.im parsing the source of textflowlayout text to a different format.
string to parse :
< fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold"> some text < fontFamily=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontStyle="italic"> some text < fontFamily=Arial encoding=unicode fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic"> some text
what i really need is:
< fontname=Verdanabold encoding=unicode> some text < fontname=Verdana encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialitalic encoding=unicode > some text < fontname=Arialbolditalic encoding=unicode > some text
logically i think of it as taking apart the string into substrings
checking if there are fontWeight or fontStyle in the substring
if there is then appending the font name with the weight or style so so that the font name becomes font NameWeightStyle.then rebuilding the string.The font could be any font with variouse styles or weights..so far:
pattern = /<(.*?)>/gixsm;
var matches:Object = pattern.exec(str);
var finalstring:String = "";[code]...........
I'am looking for a flv/video player which allow to seek for not loaded part of the video,just like on youtube.
View 1 RepliesI'm sure this is probably something simple, but sometimes when I double click a button on the stage to enter its timeline, I don't get the up, over, down, hit, timeline. I just get a timeline that looks like a regular layer.
View 6 RepliesI am new commer I have 29 buttons on stage by which I have to call 29 swf externally. Can I assign action to this button in keyframe to call external loadmovieNum. I can assign directly to button but I want it by keyframe. I have tried by instance name. On release loadmovie but there is a problem.
View 2 RepliesI have used the actions panel to write a stop code on frame one of my timeline.When I test my movie it stays on the home page, which is good! I have also created an 'enter site' button on the home page. I want to click this button and have the timeline start rolling over to frame 50 (where my next label 'contents' will be). At frame 50 I want it to stop, and so on for all of my labels/pages. The action taking place on the timeline is a pan across a panoramic photograph, which will stop at different points.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to use a button to control a timelineie if you click once you gotoAndPlay frame 2, the next time you click the same button you will gotoAndPlay frame 22, then gotoAndPlay 44 etc.I have spent the last couple of days trawling forums and a variable seems to be the answer, but I am not sure if this is correct.
View 6 RepliesIn web design, you usually define a CSS style for a navigation link, which will appear when the user is currently on that page. So if I was on the "about" page, the "about" link in the navigation would be highlighted red, for example.I'm trying to do the same thing with a button in Flash. When a user clicks the button ("on(release)"), it will take them to another frame in the timeline, and, the look of the button will change to let the user know they are currently on that frame. I thought I could do this by adding a keyframe at the destination frame, then going into the button and changing the "up" frame. Sadly, that doesn't work, as it changes the "up" frame for the button everywhere.

I have everything working fine but I have been asked that the url's are loaded from a xml file instead of static. Not quite sure where to go from here..I've read how to read from xml but do I need to set the values in global variables?
I am trying to just have a Pause button appear in frame 620 of my timeline and users can click this to pause the timeline if they want to slow down and read my text. However, with the below code, I get an error message of:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame620()
Here is my code on frame 620
//Pause Button code
btnPause.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopLoop);
function stopLoop(evtobj:MouseEvent):void{
stop();
}
The music and sounds continue, but the graphics and text stop progressing.
I have a huge timeline with photos, each photo on a different frame, and several buttons, one for each picture on the first frame. My idea is to make a unique action for the buttons that tells the timeline to go to the frame number that is the same as the button instance name.
