Flash :: [F5] Play A Movie-Clip

Play Movie Clips To Fade Off THEN Play New Movie Clip
Hey guys, I've been doing a little searching and I can't find the answer to my dilemma.

I've made up some buttons that play a little movie clip animation when pressed. The scenario is like this: Push the "Illustration" button and little files pop onto the screen. Each file will be a button that opens up an image. Push the "Pictures" button and the "Illustration files" should fade off the screen so the "Pictures files" could pop in in it's place.

I can't find a way to make the "Pictures" movie WAIT for the "Illustration" movie to be done before it pop in. One goes in, and the other simultaneously goes out and I don't want that.

Is there any way?

[CS3.AS2] Button In A Movie Clip Link To Another Movie Clip And Play
what im doing is that making a button in a movie clip link to another movie and play/stop certain parts of that clip

lets say that there are 4 buttons are in movieA, and the other clip is called movieB

when the user clicks button1 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 1 to 5 and stop.
when user clicks button2 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 5 to 10.
and so on

so far my code for button1 is:

on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}

on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}

button2:

on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}

on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}

with this code, it just jumps to the designated frame.
what i want is to have it play from current frame to a designated frame

can anyone shed some light on this?

Stop And Play Button For Movie Clip Within Moive Clip
hi i have problems with my buttons. i have got 2 fla files. 1) shell.fla 2) content.fla.

The shell.fla has a movie clip(name:holder) to load the content.swf. And within the content.swf i have got movie clip within movie clip.

Thru a search from the forum i came across this script

first frame:

Quote:

function stopAllClips(clip) {
clip.stop();
for (var i in clip) {
if(typeof clip[i]=="movieclip") {
if(clip[i]!=clip) {
stopAllClips(clip[i]);
}
}
}
};

function startAllClips(clip) {
clip.play();
for (var i in clip) {
if(typeof clip[i]=="movieclip") {
if(clip[i]!=clip) {
startAllClips(clip[i]);
}
}
}
};

for the button:

Quote:

on (release) {
if(!_root.stopped){
_root.stopAllClips(_root.holder_mc);
_root.stopped = true;
} else {
_root.startAllClips(_root.holder_mc);
_root.stopped = false;
}
}

everything works fine except after i pause and play, i doesn't play from where it has stopped. Anyone has got any ideas as to how i can solve this problem. Thanks very much.

Making More Than One Movie Clip Play From Another Clip
Hello,
It's been a while since my last post and I am afraid I am just as oblivious as I was before. Here is my dilema: on the main stage I have movieclip a,b,c,d I click on "a" to make the movie play. Now I want to click "b" to make that movie play but I would like a to go back to it's original position by finishing it's timeline which sends it back to the original position. Then I would like to be able to click on "c" and it would send "b" back to it's original position not in this order but randomly depending on which movieclip you select. How can I make this happen? Thanks for any help.

Code:
outer_mc.inner_mc.onRollOver = function(){

TellTarget To Play A Movie Clip Within A Movie Clip
I currently have two movie clips in my scene with a button that lies inside one of the movie clips. We will call this movie clip for the sake of this post "ph." The button inside of ph has a rollOver/rollOut movie clip called "Buick_rollOut" attached to it as a parked movie clip through tellTarget. Currently Buick_rollOut only works if I put the parked movie clip on the same level as ph. I want Buick_rollOut to be within the movie clip, ph, that contains the button. I want that button be able to tellTarget the location of Buick_rollOut within ph. I hope this makes sense. Here is my code for the button that lies within ph. (this code only works when Buick_rollOut is located outside of ph on the same level).

Attach Code

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/Buick_rollOut") {
gotoAndPlay ("rollOver");
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/Buick_rollOut") {
gotoAndPlay ("rollOut");
}
}

Control The Play On The Main Timeline From Within A Loaded Movie (not A Movie Clip)?
Question... I have a movie (main movie) that loads another movie (movie 2) automatically. Movie 2 contains a button that loads yet another movie (movie3). Now I’m having trouble with this next part... When movie3 loads I want "main movie" to stop where it’s at in the timeline and stop all other loaded movies until the user clicks another button where upon movie 3 will go away and "main movie" will resume. Movie 2 is like the paper clip guy in Word and movie 3 is my help movie. Therefore, it can be accessed at any point during the main movie and I don’t want to use a goTo command to jump to a frame label or scene. Does anyone have any idea how to control the play on the main timeline from within a loaded movie (not a movie clip)?

Instructing An External Movie Clip To Play From The Main Movie
Anyone tell me the easiest way to sort this one?

I have a movie clip that consists of 2 keyframes.

It is loaded onto level1 above my main movie and the first frame is blank (so that it does not come into play until instructed).

The second keyframe is the main part of the loaded movie and this needs to play after receiving instruction from the main movie.

My problem is 'How do I instruct this to happen??'
I have no knowledge of action script so if anyone could advise or tell me if there is an easier way to do this I would be eternally greatful........................................

in the main movie clip, i've put a play button, and the actionscript i have in the button is:

on(release)
{
this.loadMovie("m1.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m1.swf");
this.loadMovie("m2.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m2.swf");
this.loadMovie("m3.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m3.swf");
this.loadMovie("m4.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m4.swf");
this.loadMovie("m5.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m5.swf");
this.loadMovie("m6.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m6.swf");
this.loadMovie("m7.swf",play);
//this.unloadMovie("m7.swf");

Loading Movie Into Empty Clip, But Movie Won't Play
I have 4 movies that i am trying to load into an empty clip in an existing movie. my problem is that when each of these movies are loaded into the clip, I can physically see it, but it doesn't function as a movie, the rest of the larger movie is moving around it, but the smaller movies won't move. I thought this was because I put a stop action at the end of the smaller movies, but when I take it out, the movie just keeps looping when loaded into the empty clip in the new movie.

does that make sense.

My Movie Clip Won't Play
Hi,
I'm quite new to flash, and I'm using flash 5. I've made this clip, turned it into a symbol (behaviour movie-clip). Looks nice and moving in the library window. When I put an instance on the stage it never moves. I used the play action script. I must have missed something, but after going through the help files a couple of times i hope someone here can point the mistake out to me.

Movie Clip Won't Play....
Hello...

I have a movie (main_interface) that loads another movie (text_search) into a movie clip called switch_window.

In switch_window i have another movie clip called governate, and within governate there is a movie clip called governateView.

In governate, I have placed a radio group by the name of governateSelect. what im trying to achieve is that once someone chooses an option from the radio group governateSelect (out of 5), governateView jumps to a labeled frame and plays.

I got almost all of that working. This is the code written into a stop frame in the governate movie clip:

PHP Code:

stop();

// The display function
function governateSelect (component) {
    _global.gov = component.getValue() ;
    //trace ( _global.gov );
}

// We assign this function to the group governateSelect
GovernateGroup.setChangeHandler ("governateSelect") ;

That just checks if the user selected an option, and puts the option label into a global variable (it will be used more and more throughout the length of the movie).

This is the code I have placed on the governateView movie clip, the one i want to jump:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    // Set GovernateView
    if (_global.gov == "capital") {
        tellTarget (this) {
            gotoAndPlay("capital");
        }
    } else if (_global.gov == "central") {
        tellTarget (this) {
            gotoAndPlay("central");
        }
    } else if (_global.gov == "muharraq") {
        tellTarget (this) {
            gotoAndPlay("muharraq");
        }
    } else if (_global.gov == "northern") {
        tellTarget (this) {
            gotoAndPlay("northern");
        }
    } else if (_global.gov == "southern") {
        tellTarget (this) {
            gotoAndPlay("southern");
        }
    }
}

What this does is keeps checking for the existence of the global variable "gov", and then acts according to the user selection by sending the movie clip to a specified frame label. I had to use 'this' to point to itself because referencing a movie clip in a loaded movie placed in a movie clip is near impossible (tried it for 3 days straight).

Now, technically it should all work. and it does sort of. the movie clip governateView jumps to the right frame, but then it stops. doesn't play at all, despite the fact that the actionscript says goToAndPlay. i even set the frames in the movie clip with play(); commands and it still don't play. Any suggestions?

thanks in advance for your help.

Movie Clip Won't Play.
(Using Flash 5 for this one)

Okay.

What I've done is put frame-by-frame animation within a movie clip symbol. My question is, how do I get Flash to play the frame-by-frame animation within the symbol? I want to be able to do this so I can have a "zooming out" effect on the frame-by-frames instead of re-sizing each frame to have the zooming effect.

- I know how to have a zooming out effect. But the background is the thing zooming out. I want the frame-by-frame animation to zoom out with the background instead of editing each frame individually.

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys .

My Movie Clip Don't Play
Hi

This is very strange. I made a motion animation inside a movie clip and at the start everything was running fine. I went on doing my work and after a while that movie clip started not playing the motion inside him.

So I went inside the movie clip and made a "Test Movie" to see what was wrong with the animation. For my surprise the animation worked, I published my work again and the problem was fixed.

But after some Previews this happened again, not only with this one but with all of MC

I don't know what is happening with my movieclips, they after a while began to stop playing the animation inside them.

I'm using Flash CS3 and making a project in Action Script 2.0

Can someone explain what's happening?

My best regards,

Yue

Movie Clip Won't Play.
I've got a movie clip that, for the life of me, won't play. No idea why, it just won't. Basically, I use it to control the entire SWF file, what clips play when... And so on.

What happens is it plays through the first time and at the end it reaches a replay button. On that frame there is this script:

ActionScript Code:
stop();
_root.slidesMC.gotoAndStop("startFrame");
_root.textEnd.gotoAndPlay("inFrame");
_root.controlsMC.gotoAndPlay("replayFrame");
_root.controlsMC.replayButton.onRelease = function() {
_root.textEnd.gotoAndPlay("startFrame");
gotoAndPlay("startFrame");
};

The first three frames are to initiate clips to go to certain frames, which they do without a problem. Then after clicking the replay button that function is called. The first line just puts the current active movie clip back to it's beginning and then it puts the timeline controller movie clip back to it's beginning so it can play through again.

It doesn't play.

It gets to the first frame and stops. The first frame has this script:

ActionScript Code:
_root.titleMC._visible = false;
_root.continueButton._visible = false;
_root.continueButton.enabled = false;
_root.controlsMC.gotoAndPlay("controlsFrame");
_root.controlsMC.prevButton._visible = false;
_root.controlsMC.prevButton.enabled = false;
nextFrame();
The script works the first time around, and does the second time, but it won't move, until I added the "nextFrame();" command. Then it will go to the next frame which has this script on it:

ActionScript Code:
_root.homeSlideMC.gotoAndPlay("inFrame");
_root.skipControls.gotoAndPlay("homeSlideScript");
_root.continueButton._visible = false;
_root.continueButton.enabled = false;
play();
Again with more clip commands, none of which have any ability to stop this movie clip. It's as if it ignores the play command!

I don't know what's wrong and why it won't do it, I'm hoping someone else will.

Movie Clip Won't Play
I am new to flash and am having a hard time getting what seems like a simple problem to work. I am trying to have a movie clip which is located on the same frame but a different layer as a button, which is nested in a movie clip, play when a user clicks on the button.

Here is the code for the button:

on(release) {

}

the trace works, but the screen does not change to the game over screen. Any help will be much appreciated.

Can' Get Movie Clip To Play
I have a Flash movie that plays a movie clip called DR1 at frame 113 using this code:

DR1.play();

There is nothing else going on in the movie for the length of the clip, but when I play the movie, the clip does not play - I just have a blank screen for those frames.

Also, if I try dragging an instance of the movie onto the timeline at that point, the same thing happens - blank screen for the amount of frames that the clip is present.

If I play the clip in the library it plays correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

Hmm..can't Get Movie Clip To Play
Hey guys,

I'm building a quiz and have almost all of it figured out except for this:

function checkAnswer(ans:String) {
clipHolder.attachMovie("result_mc","clip",0);
clipHolder.clip.title_txt.text = "Question #"+n_curr+":";
clipHolder.clip.correct_txt.htmlText = a_xml[n_q].answer;
clipHolder.clip.pigscore.text = n_right;
if (correct == ans) {
clipHolder.clip.words.gotoAndStop(2);
clipHolder.clip.piggybank.gotoAndPlay("coindrop");
n_right++;
} else {
clipHolder.clip.words.gotoAndStop(1);
}
n_q++;
n_curr++;
completedText();
}

I bought the quiz from FlashDen and have been able to modify it pretty well except for the part in bold. I've added a movie clip that's suppose to play if the answer is right. I have a stop(); on the movie clip's first frame. I added a label to it's second frame called "coindrop". Any ideas why the clip won't play?

Thanks!

Play Movie Clip One
Alright - so I'm a complete Flash noobie...and I'm sure this question is ridiculously simple for most folks, but I just can't seem to get anything to work quite right.

I have a movieclip symbol with a motion tween in it. I have actionscript stop the movieclip because I only want the clip to play once it is clicked by the user.

But I only want the movie clip to play once.

What am I missing...this seems like it should be dead simple.

Here is what I have for my actionscript

Code:
ball_mc.stop();

ball_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ballClicked);

function ballClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
{

ball_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Play A Movie Clip At 35%
In my preloader I want to have a seperate movie clip play at 35% of total load. Im new at scripting and could use my help. I basicly do not want the movie to play untill it reaches 35%. Im not sure if I should have this code in the main stage and tell it to play the movie clip (instance name bug_L) or in the movie slip itself.

Code:

if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()){//Check for finished loading
//If loaded, final update to fields
loadPercent = "35%";
loadBytes = (Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb of " + Math.round((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb total Loaded.");

gotoAndPlay(2); //Where to go once your movie is loaded

}
else {
stop();
}

Using MX2004
Thanks
