ActionScript 2.0 :: Put The Character Variable And Info In The First Keyframe And Refer To These Via _root In Any Frame
Dec 29, 2010I 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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Plays One Keyframe Then Switches To 2nd Keyframe When Date Changes?
Mar 15, 2012I have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

Actionscript 3 :: Keyframe In Flash Fail To Update An Object's Position?
Apr 3, 2012I have a background MovieClip in a custom button class, which moves the play head to a different frame (via gotoAndStop("framename")) depending on which mouse events it receives.
When the mouse up event is received, it sends the play head back to the "release" frame, where the background should shift back to its original location, but instead nothing happens and the background remains where it was.It's as though Flash is not honoring the background's position defined by the key frame it enters.
The only workaround is to add a frame script to each frame which manually sets the x and y position to what it should be, but this defeats the purpose of using keyframes for the position.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Refer To Object On Another Timeline?
Oct 1, 2009I have a container movie which loads another movie into a Loader object which then gets added to the main timeline. The loaded movie has a main class which controls all the other classes in that movie. The container movie has one other element - a scrollbar which scrolls the loaded movie (which is longer than the container) up and down.
When content changes in the loaded movie I need to pass a message to the scrollbar. If I trace parent.parent.parent from the init() function of the loaded movie it traces [object MainTimeline]. My scrollbar, sBar is a direct child of the main timeline, but tracing parent.parent.parent.sBar doesn't work So how can I pass a reference to the scrollbar to the loaded movie? Here's the code in the container movie:
PHP Code:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var sBar:Scrollbar;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);

View 1 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Object Variables (arrays), Persisting To A New Keyframe?
May 4, 2009After unexplainable problems with external class files, I'm trying another way of doing what I need to do: an Object variable declared in the fla file. Well, this has its own set of problems. The big picture is: I need to get user data and populate fields in their profile when they sign on. Then save changes to their profile during the session, add new users and make changes to their profiles. Pretty normal stuff.
Here's the problem I'm having with the object.
Frame 1 Script:
/* Define the object to use as an associative array.*/
var Person:Object = new Object();// Define a series of properties.Person.HomName = "Joe";Person.HomEmail = "joe@gmail.com";
Then go to a new keyframe, where I have my fields that need to be populated
Script:
EnterName.text = Person.HomName;EnterEmail.text = Person.HomEmail;stop();
When I compile, I get this error twice (once for each field) "The property being referenced does not have the static attribute."
What does the mean and how do I fix it?
Here is a link to the source file if you care to look.
[URL]
The only way I've been able to get variable data from one script to another is through a _global.variable. Is this the only way? No arrays or objects vars?
Thanks in advance for all who assist. Some day soon I hope to be able to return the favor!

More specifically, I'm just converting a video into FLV using the Adobe Media Encoder.

However, when autoplay is off I need to know how to control what frame shows up on the front of the video before it starts playing.
More Efficient Keyframe Animation In Flash CS4/5?
Dec 12, 2010I'm doing a lot of keyframe masking of vines/flowers for a project I'm working on, and it looks really good but is, of course, very time consuming.I'm curious if there's any techniques/tools for making these animations faster, and more importantly making them more editable later. I'm afraid I'm going to keyframe out entire sections of animation only for the client to say "Looks great, but can you speed it up just a touch?" and I'll have to rebuilt it all from scratch again.

Aug 13, 2008I have 2 'getURL' functions on one keyframe, one a text (converted) button, the other an image. They are both next to one-another however only the text (converted) one works. The top bit of code is the text (converted) button:
bt_url.onRelease = function (){
getURL("[URL]","_blank");};
bt_ethicaltrading = function (){
getURL("[URL]","_blank");
};
The code for each is exactly the same, I have checked instance names, tried different url's and even created an invisible button for the image based one. I have also tried putting the buttons on the same layer.

Flash :: Set The Keyframe Interval For RTMFP Streams?
Dec 15, 2011I use RTMFP with NetGroup and Adobe Cirrus. Broadcasting settings are 320x240 with 5 fps.
However, in some cases it takes a long time for the webcam stream to appear (10-20 seconds, even if having a 1:1 connection). If the stream appears eventually, it looks like this:
I think this comes from a high keyframe interval and the subscribers needs to wait for the next keyframe, so that the stream appears properly. This happens in contrast to streaming servers, where the server caches the last keyframes from the publisher stream.
how I am able to tune the broadcasting, e.g. set the keyframe interval and other settings. Can you recommend a good setup? And, why is this issue not popular (I haven't found much information about it)?

Flash :: Flv Playback Playheadupdate Interval In Milliseconds I.e Seek To Non Keyframe?
Mar 23, 2011I am having trouble catching events of playhead update in the milli second range . This is in regards to FLV playback of a loaded flv movie.As per the docs the seek() function seeks to keyframes,it takes time as input with the accuracy of milliseconds.i have a function called next frame where i pause the video and try to seek to a given playheadTime
function onNextFrame(event:Event)
{
if (video1.playing)[code]...........
My question is :How do i make the playhead update in milliseconds accuracy when the video is paused/stoped and seeked to a time.
How do i update the playhead in the first place when seek only seems to work to a keyframe. How do i get the seek to a non keyframe time?
