I have three frames. The first frame is the original. When the marker hits the right answer (target i should say), it must proceed to frame 3. If the answer is wrong it should go to frame 2. But the things when the marker hits the right answer the frame that is being shown is frame 2 and not frame 3.
marker._x = 93.0;
marker._y = 62.0;
status.text = "ANSWER"

I have two embedded flv's in the timeline, one after the other. There are no errors in the video files. When the "playhead" in the exported swf comes to the end of the two combined videoclips, it jumps back to the first frame of the 2nd video clip for a fraction of a second, before playing from the start of the timeline as it is supposed to. I have explicitly done a "gotoandplay(1) in a separate action layer, at the last frame of the "movie", but that's not what happens.

I'm doing a project using ActionScript 2 where I'm loading in text from an XML file to dynamic text boxes. I'm loading everything in on the first frame, but there are boxes that do not exist in the timeline until frame 5 or so. Is there anyway I can access those to set their text property from the first frame
View 1 RepliesHopefully a very simple fix here. I test my movie in Flash, even open it directly with the browser, and all is well. The gotoAndPlay works, and my animations look fine. However, when I publish the movie, and then test in the website, it stops after the first frame! What gives?
View 2 RepliesFor some reason my buttons don't work when I stop on frame 34. Everything else works, but when I stop on 34 the button/actions won't work anymore. I have no idea why. I checked everything that I can think of. The buttons are labeled correctly on the frame.
Here is the code:
stop();
button01.onRelease = function() {
if (_root._currentframe == 1) {
gotoAndPlay(2);

I'm making a site that has a scrolling set of thumbnails and then when you click on one of the thumbnails a video will play. I used this (httpurl].....) tutorial and the scrolling is fine, but when I set the thumbnail to go to a certain frame/flag it doesn't go? I click on the thumbnail> +> Movieclip> goto and play at frame or label> and put in the label I've used for the frame (F15) and then when I test the movie nothing happens when I click on the thumbnail. Can someone help me? I'm dyin' here.
View 2 RepliesgotoAndPlay() is the only actionscript I have in my flash and all I want it to do is go to a frame. If I tell it to go to a frame past a certain one it will not. It always (unless I pick a frame previous to the messed up one) goes to that frame. I have only one scene.

ballmyBall.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, ballOver);function ballOver(e:MouseEvent)myBall.gotoAndStop('glow');}[code]...
When I tried doing this, I labelled one frame within the myBall movie clip 'normal' and the next one 'glow' and I added a filter glow to the ball on the glow frame.When I play it back, and mouse over the ball it flickers really quickly between glowing and not glowing, and when I mouse out it returns to normal and stops, but I thought it should stop on the glow frame as well.
I have an animation that has mask in it. I'm using actionscript to set the mask.The problem I am having is all the mask after frame 1 doesn't work. When I trace the movie clip name it says null. I know it's because flash can't access movie clip's name because hasn't loaded yet.I have the AS in a .as. I have tried putting the as on the first frame, same thing.

View 9 RepliesIf I move a display object and use hitTestPoint afterward on the same frame against a point within the object's new shape bounds, I get false no matter what. On the following frame I get true like I should. If I then move the object away and in the same frame hitTestPoint against a point which is NO LONGER in the current shape (since it moved) but WAS in the shape on the previous frame, I sometimes get true and sometimes get false. This seems totally screwed up. Am I going mad? I've tried the move and hitTestPoint in both mouse handles and enterFrame handlers, but enterFrame handler is the only one I really care about at the moment.
Check out the following code; click to define a new position for the large object, then in the next entetFrame event it will move it and perform hitTestPoint -- object turns orange when hitTestPoint is true. You should see the same weird behavior described above.
ActionScript Code:
var circ:Shape = new Shape();
circ.graphics.beginFill(0x009900);
circ.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 30);

my preloader is working when its first run, but it doesn't go to the 2nd frame if the page is refreshed. (Its for a swf that has about 9,000 frames but I don't think thats the issue)
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
mctotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
mcloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
[Code]....
here is my script:
stop();
//setting up the list of frame names for the buttons
imagelist = ["horror","legs","chair"];[code]....
So my problem is that on the button release it doesn't go to the frame that I labelled .My button symbol is called b_next with instance name of next_b. So don't think thats the problem. Is it because I made an array that equals the instance name of my frames?
I have a movieclip with 3 frames. each frame has a button on it. Using actionscript I jump to a frame then add an event listener to that button.However, it doesn't work since the playhead for that movieclip doesn't actually get moved to a different frame until the frame redraws. So actionscript says the button doesn't exist.(other than not dynamically adding the buttons with code... which will be my next step...)

View 5 RepliesI have a character, every body part is a movieclip. Now I wanted to put a movieclip for the eyes inside of the headmovieclip so that I can change them independently from the mouth. So in the eye-movieclip that is inside of the head-movieclip I put two keyframes, one for opened eyes and one for closed eyes. I put it to "Single frame" in properties. Now, whenever I make a pose and I change the frame number under properties so that it displays the closed eyes, it does that for the whole movie, not only on the frames that I changed it.
I wanted to use that to control things like eyes, ears and the mouth individually but like this it won't work, it changes it for the whole animation.
I 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]....
I 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

I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask.

in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

I have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.
