View 2 RepliesFlash :: Run A Program That Large And Complicated From A Drive?
Jul 28, 2009I've have flash cs3 installed on my computer at home and flash mx 2004 installed on my school pc. I like to take my projects home with me to work on, the only problem is when I take the fla back to school they won't work on mx. I cant update the school's flash since I dont have admin privileges to install programs and I can't make an mx fla at home.
My question is: Would it be possible to copy the entire 300mb flash cs3 onto a 8gb flash drive and run it on the school's computer or is it even possible to run a program that large and complicated from a flash drive?

Flash :: Creating Content With HTML5 Canvas Much More Complicated Than Authoring?
Jan 19, 2011I've been doing Flash for couple of months and I love it. I can easily use a rectangle tool to draw a rectangle and do shape/motion tweening within seconds.
Lots of people are talking about HTML5 vs Flash nowadays and I took a look on HTML5 Canvas today. To my surprised, I see whole bunch of "code". It's so complicated, they need to make a lot of calls (fill, stroke, moveto, closepath etc...) to make a simple shape. And even dozens lines of code mixing with javascript to do a simple movement???
Am I missing something? It'll make animation 10x more complicated with HTML5 Canvas than Flash.

Flash 8 - GotoAndPlay One After Another
Mar 11, 2010I am currently creating a project in flash. Basically I have nearly a hundred frames. I want my next button to play scene 90 to 100 and then play 60-80 after the previous one has finished. I have already put action script in the top layer to make sure it will stop at 100 and stop at 80 but i cant get them to play after each other. I haven't a clue of what function to use only go to and play but then they would play at the same time right?

ActionScript 2.0 :: GotoAndPlay Sometimes And Not Sometimes?
Feb 28, 2005I am trying to perform a simple jump on a button with this basic code,
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("ToMain");
}
This works most of the time. Other times it simply skips the jump and continues on. This jump is aimed to skip over an intro (so heavy image transitions with music and commentaries added). I am guessing the intense cpu processing is the cause of the skip. Is there a sure way of performing this jump?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using GotoAndPlay Then NavigateToURL?
Feb 14, 2009I'm having problems with my animation getting cut of by my navigateToURL code. What is supposed to happen is,If you click on "buttonBtn" it triggers a animation. At the end of the animation it is supposed to stop and bring up a url. I've used gotoAndPlay ("frm") and navigateToUrl. Each time I test it in the browser the animation will begin, but the url comes up before the animation is finished. How do I allow the animation to play all the way through and then retrieve the url?

ActionScript 3.0 :: GoToAndPlay After Loading A SWF?
Apr 21, 2009I have a preloader that loads an external .swf. Problem is, it doesn't show the .swf until it is 100% loaded. But, the external .swf starts to play before it reaches 100%. I placed a stop function in the external .swf so now, after it loads 100% it is still on the first frame. How do I get it to automatically goToAndPlay the second frame?
Also, when the external .swf reaches the end, it needs to loop back. I am guessing that I will have the same problem after it reaches the end, loops back to first frame and stops again.
GotoAndPlay(frame#); Not Working?
Sep 28, 2009I've got a simple button that when clicked needs to go to a particular frame and stop when it hits the stop(); however when I test it I get a type error #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at PostCard_fla::MainTimeline/frame25()
I need to be able to tell it what frames to go to manually so the user can jump around the time line using short animated transitions between pages (set up like a web page) in AC2.0 this was easy, but its different in AC3 and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is my code:
stop();
btn_flip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(28);
};
ActionScript 1/2 :: Where To Put GotoAndPlay Within Function
Jul 5, 2010On my first frame, I have: 6 buttons (p1 through p6). A holder mc_holder, which holds mc_pages, {a movie clip that shows 6 pages (each their own movie clip, page1 though page6) tweened across the screen, made to look as if the pages are being "flipped" through).
The following code:
Code:stop();
var _holder = mc_holder.mc_pages;
var picked;p1.goal = 1;
p1.onRelease = goPage;
p2.goal = 10;
[Code] .....
The problem is, as soon as the movie loads, ALL these animations begin to play. I am looking for a solution so that the animations will not play until the page is viewed. I am thinking I can put a stop on the first frame of each page, and a frame label ("go") on the second frame. Can I add this (my knowledge is limited but say... gotoAndPlay (go")) to the code shown above? I have tried messing around with it but have not yet had any results.

String Variable With GotoAndPlay?
Apr 8, 2009I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {

Feb 15, 2009Maybe someone in this forum can give me some help. Here is what I'm trying to do... I have page that when you click any of the buttons, it triggers the same animation. Now, depending on which button you click, it will take you to a different url. My problem is, with the code I have, the animation gets cut off before it's finished and goes straight to the url. I know I need some type of listener or something to watch for the end of the animation before going to the url. I can't seem to figure out what that code is or where it needs to go. Also, my animation is not in a movie clip. It's all in Scene 1. I've got the following script in the first frame of the actions layer. I'm only about three weeks into self-teaching AS3, so tell me like a third grader what is up.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: GotoAndPlay With An Argument
Jul 30, 2011I've got all the major peices of my project but I need a steering wheel! I'm not sure how to enable the functionality of the app. Let me try to explain: I have 2 working getTimer timers in 2 class files. One is a 15 minute countdown timer. The other is a timer to call animations, but (here's the problem)i have 4 different sets of animations to call based on the users button selection. They are added to the stage with
ActionScript Code:
var countdown:CountDown = new CountDown(time_txt);//where time_txt is a TextField on the stage
addChild(countdown);
var Alerts:sniperAlerts = new sniperAlerts();
addChild(Alerts);
They kinda have to be called to the stage in this manner because I have some buttons that alter the time on the fly based on the Alerts and countdown var. I tried having 4 different alert files, but you can't declare them all as the Alerts var if you use different frames. In addition you can't repeatedly call the countdown timer as the same var because of namespace. I wish I knew how to make menu_mc to pass an argument to the stage that selects which animation set the alerts timer will process. Here's the alert timer with 1 set of animations to call:
