Determine Buffering / Playing?
Oct 8, 2010I'm trying to use NetStream events from an FMS 3.5.4 server but am having trouble. I'd like to simply know when a video is playing, buffering, or idle. I know about Play.Start and Play.Stop, but these can mean the video is playing, or the video is buffering. Buffer.Full and Buffer.Flush can occur when a video is paused, playing, stopped, seeking, etc. I'm scouring over every event I get, but I really see no good way to determine what the exact state of a NetStream is at a given time.

Mar 28, 2009Okay this is always something that's puzzled me. If I create a movieclip, place that clip on the stage, then inside that movieclip, create another movieclip, how does flash determine the coordinates of that second movieclip in relation to the stage. The reason I am asking this, is that I have a large movieclip which contains a number of other smaller movieclips. When a user clicks on one of the smaller movie clips, I need the larger movieclip to move so that the clicked movieclip is now centered on the stage.
I figure that this would be easier to know if I knew how to calculate the distance which the second, smaller movieclip is from the center of the main stage in x and y coordinate values. Am I making any sense? If not I'll try to explain again.

Dec 27, 2011I am trying to create a scenario where I can have two or more movie clips interact with each other to determine the distance between themselves. I found a script online where it does two movieclips however I need it to do more than two, possibly up to about a dozen. That is the first part. The second part is that I need to be able to select one movieclip and for it to become the "master" and then the other clip determine there distance from the "master". I hope I am explaining this correctly. I have attached the fla file which has the script in it for two movieclips, and then I have modified to add the other clips but not sure of the coding to make it work.

I googled the effect and found the below action script. I've put it on the first button to see if it works, but I get the error messages at the bottom.

Flash :: Applying A ColorTransform Stops MovieClip From Playing
Dec 2, 2009I have a MovieClip that consists of multiple layers, one of those layers is an animated background Shape. let's call this MyMovieClip with the background shape have the instance name "mcBackground";
I'm adding the MovieClip to the stage from ActionScript by:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Playing A Certain Frame In Another MovieClip (timeline)?
Feb 3, 2011I was wondering if someone can help me. I have some difficulties playing a certain frame in another MovieClip. I have two MovieClips, MovieClip(content) and MovieClip(about_page). The about me button is placed in MovieClip(content) and I used the following code to go and play MovieClip(about_page) that is placed in the timeline:
about_btn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, myrl1 );
function myrl1( event:MouseEvent ):void
{
gotoAndPlay("37");
}
But now when MovieClip(about_page) loaded i have a button that must go back and play a certain frame in MovieClip(content) I used the following:
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,close1 );
function close1 (Event:MouseEvent): void
{
gotoAndPlay ("29");
}
[code]....
But for some reason it never goes back to Movieclip(content) and I get the following:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Flash - 2 Movieclips Not Playing Simultaneously Located On The Same Frame Nested Withing A Movieclip?
Jan 30, 2012I have two movieclips on the same frame but on different layers located within the movieclip. The first movieclip plays just fine. However, the second one isn't going ahead even a single frame. The code that I have mentioned below is located withing the second movieclip containing background image. And I think this code is causing the issue because when I remove this it plays perfectly fine. The function of this code is to automatically re-size background image with the browser dimensions. The whole code just worked fine on the main timeline.However, when I shifted it inside a movieclip its causing an issue.
//set stage for FBF
stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

ActionScript 2.0 :: Get A Movieclip Within A Movieclip To Stop Playing When It Reaches Its Last Frame
Nov 20, 2007i'm trying to get a movieclip within a movieclip to stop playing when it reaches its last frame. let me describe my problem: it should start playing when the user rolls over the movieclip that is containing it(i'll call this mc1, and the movieclip within it mc2). i've put a stop action in mc2's last frame but it won't stop and plays again and again. one thing i should point out is that there is a variable in mc1 that tells the movie whether it's ok to play the movie in reverse when the user rolls over mc1, if this is false, that means that it plays normally(not in reverse). i'm using "play()" to play mc1 when the user rolls over it and this is where i think the problem is; even though the last frame of mc2 has a stop action, it is somehow told to play again? anyways, this is just a guess, i haven't figured out why or how to fix it. i'm not sure if my explanation was too hard to understand so i'll try to clarify it if anyone wants me to.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine Which Way A MovieClip Is "facing"?
Apr 19, 2011I have a MovieClip with an image in it that is designed to animate and move in a certain direction depending on which way the MC is "facing." To that extent, yes, there is a "front" to the MC.
However, I am at a loss for how to determine which way it is facing. Use of scaleX does not work as if I innately put the MC in my work area before the coding and flip it, scaleX will always be 1. Attempting to throw in a hidden MC within that MC and determining if its X value is greater or less than zero didn't work either, because THAT number will always remain the same.
For some additional info, the MC is designed such that 0,0 is in the BOTTOM left corner, at which point the image within the MC is facing left. Flipping it so 0,0 is in the bottom right makes it face right.
I cannot, in any way, shape or form, use a variable within the MC to say which way it is facing either, as there could be a dozen of this same MC active, only with different instance names, at a time. The only way I could use a variable within the MC is if I could determine which way it was facing anyway, which is exactly what I'm trying to do here.

Pausing And Playing MovieClip Children
Jul 10, 2010Pausing, stopping and playing movieClip (MC) children. I am making SWFs that an interface will load and control (pause, re-start, stop, etc.). Then the interface is paused, the main MC will pause but not it's child MCs. I didn't write the interface, I am just supplying SWFs that are loading into the interface. The developer of the interface willn't allow me to use animated MCs in my SWFs since he can't control them with the interface. So all my animation need to be on the main time line, which is no optimal to say the lease.Can I provide him with some code to allow him to stop the child MCs or is there an Event Listener I could include in the child MCs that would pause, stop, restart, etc when the main MC changes?I currently do not have a fix at this time and since all my animations are on the main timeline, is there a way to select multiple objects (on difference layers) and move and resize them across multiple keyframes?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Selectively Playing A Movieclip
May 10, 2011 What I'm trying to do is show a little explosion movie clip each time the player's ship gets hit by enemy fire. I thought it would be similar to how my shield powerup works, but apparently it isn't -- or it is, and I'm just doing something wrong. Here's the code for the shield business, to give an idea of how things are set up. The shield movieclip is nested inside of the ship movieclip, and it only becomes visible when the ship collides with the shield powerup icon. It runs for 240 frames, fades out and disappears. What I'd like to do is have a multi-frame explosion movieclip inside there as well, which appears, plays once, then disappears, whenever the ship is hit.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Playing A Movieclip Backwards?
Nov 5, 2009I hope someone will know a solution to this problem: I have a movieclip with a tween in it, which moves a object up and down.
I have 2 buttons on my _root: One which had to move the object up till the end of the movieclip when pressed so it will stop after reaching the end of the tween. Or it stops playing when the button is released.
Another one doing exact the oposite, it moves the object down when pressed. And should stop at the beginning of the tween. This button also has to stop when the button is released. The button playing the movieclip backwards doesn't work as it should be. It doesn't reverse the movieclip, it just jumps to a previous frame.
