I want to call a function once per frame between keyframe 1 and keyframe 60, but i don't want to have to create a keyframe on EVERY single frame in between with an action calling the function. is there a simple way like tweening, to make this function execute once on every frame without having to make 60 unique keyframes?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get just a single pose from an armature layer without copying the whole layer. I just want the exact arrangement of symbols from a specific frame of the armature layer alone; in one keyframe; without the armature; into a normal layer. I tried a few things, like breaking apart and copying the individual keyframe (ctrl+click on the frame I want and "copy pose"). I thought about converting an armature layer into a frame-by-frame animation so I can just copy the one frame like I want, but it's apparently not an option. When I tried the break apart option it just breaks down the first frame of the armature layer into one big vector graphic. I've even tried highlighting every frame except the one I want to use and pressing Shift+F5. Nothing I've tried so far works.
This is annoying because if I don't find a solution, I will have to take each separate symbol used in this frame of the armature layer and individually align them all in the exact same position in the normal layer
OK, I am trying to get the following functions to load and unload the video to my main timeline when I go in and out of a frame. I tried on Enter_FRAME but it is now working properly and load many instances.
What are the listeners I need to do to call the functions of oCoach when enetering a frame and fclickCV when leaving a frame?

In Flash Actionscript 3, if a function is defined in Frame 1 of a flash animation and the animation loops, does it store another version of the function in memory upon each loop.
[Code]...
If so, is it a best practice to check to see if it's the first time the frame has been run, by setting a variable and checking it's existence, or is it a non-issue because the compiler checks to make sure that a function has not already been defined?

How to call AS2 method from NextFrame(or any other frame) in Flash?Say you have Action Frame on frame 3, and another one on frame 4, how do you call methods on frame 4 when you are on frame 3.
View 1 RepliesPlease i am looking for a way to call a function defined in a different frame in ActionScript 2.0. The details are as follows[code]...
For some reason, the code on frame 2 is working by itself but selecting an index from the list from another frame is not working. In other words, i am not able to call successfully selectVideo() from frame 1 while it is defined in frame 2.
The objective of the program, as implied, is referring to a certain video from the list from a different frame. The whole code is working without errors just I'm not able to select a video from the list and play it if i was initially in a different previous frame.
When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?
View 1 Repliesi'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not

gotoAndStop(1); //need to run function 'openList' on the 1st frame

on frame 1 there is a function called 'openList' that I need to access from frame 2. Is there anyway I can do both: gotoAndStop(1), as well as openList()?

What I'm trying to do is find a way to trigger those same functions from the 1st frame of the timeline itself. Basically after a certain amount of time I need to pause the video automatically.
how do I trigger functions like the doPlayEvent() function noted above from some AS that's inserted in the first frame of the movie?
I have a bunch of SWF files that have x amount of frames on them..When it reaches the end, I want to call a function. The problem is I dont have access to the FLA files. I have the total number of frames by doing slideHolder._totalframes which gives me all the frames...The only thing I can think of is doing an interval that checks _currentframe against _totalframes, but I want to know is their another way to do it?
View 1 RepliesI'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.

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.
1. I make a simple movie (call it movieClip) first frame has stop(); action, second frame has label playMovie, last frame has action gotoAndPlay(2); (so that movie not stop anymore2. Now I place movieClip on stage3. Question... what is code to make movieClip play frame label playMovie?
I already try to put many different type action in frame one of stage
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("2"); //NOT WORK
this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay(2); //NOT WORK

I used the liquid Flash layout file from this site , but i got one problem.I placed the script in a layer called actionscript and on frame 1, under it there is a other layer called background. I placed in just a square with a gradient color and made it a movieclip. I also placed this on frame 1. Everything is working perfect from this point but when i want to place a keyframe on frame 10 in the background layer and make a motion tween so that the background fades in from 0 opacity to 100, it doesn't work.
View 13 RepliesI am in the end of my development of a script that parses out large amounts of data from the timeline with AS3. This data is then used for an animation in corona. We have several of animations in the timeline, and we are splitting those by frame labels. That means that all objects are in place and often, there is no use of them and those movieclips is missing keyframes. My script parses out everything, but I just want the data thats has some value.
detect if a current frame in a layer is a keyframe or not? If not, get rid of data that we are not animating.
I want to to have 3 x 3 Frame Keyframe animations (very simple) with a title keyframe in between each one. What I am struggling with is that instead of repeating the keyframes lots of times and having a huge project I want to repeat each 2 Keyframe animation 30 times (making it a minute long) before moving onto the text keyframe and then the next 2 keyframe animation to loop 30 times before moving on... I then want the whole thing to loop.
What code do you use in Flash CS3 (ActionScrpit 3.0) to acheive this for each set of keyframes? To keep it simple they are all one one layer.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to make a game to learn actionscript. my game is going to have multiple keyframes, ie one for dungeon, 1 for a large map yadda yadda yadda. Things like the character i would like to be available to all keyframes. i am assuming i put the character variable and info in the first keyframe and refer to these via _root in any frame. However if i want to make a dungeon and use the dungeon scene variables i would use this.
right now since i am only on the making a dungeon part i can refer to anything using this or _root. Case: my dungeon scene consists of walls and paths. right now i can do something like if(_root["path" + yPos + xPos]) _root["path" + yPos + xPos].removeMovieClip;
i can also call the same code using this instead of _root and it works. when i add a main new main frame and move the dungeon scene from frame 1 to frame 10, will i still be able to inter use _root and this and have the same effect, or once i move the dungeon scene from frame 1 to frame 10 i will no longer be able to use _root. also i only have 1 layer.
I need a timer script to place on a keyframe that count 5 seconds then goto next frame.
View 10 RepliesI have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){

The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".
