Flash :: How Do I GotoAndPlay(frame); Depending On A Variable From Php?

How Do I GotoAndPlay(frame); Depending On A Variable From Php?
Ok, I have set the variable in my page using <param name="flashvars" value="menustate=<?php $pagename; ?>"> which works perfectly fine when I use a dynamic textbox in flash with the var name menustate.

But I need to send a MC to frame 2 if 'menustate = 2'. Anyhow, I just want to know how to control a MC with an external var. I can't use loadVars () because this var is coming from any page, not just one.

Thanks,

How To Get A Movieclip To Change Frame Depending On A Variable?
Hi, I'm a steady user of flash (the animation and graphics side) but I hardly ever get on with the evil actionscript.
What I want to do is create a button, which changes the number of a variable (ex. you click it and it ads + 1 to the number)(more or less got that sorted), and if the variable is worth a certain value (variable = 5) a movieclip changes it's frame to a different one.
I've been trying to get it right for a while but it doesn't want to. I'm not sure if I have to use the _root.variable or what. I welcome any help =[
Sorry for the dumb question.
I use Macromedia Flash Professional 8 and Actionscript 1, by the by.

GotoAndPlay Frame Label Variable
I am trying to develop a navigation interface with AS3 that interfaces with three different movie clips.

MovieClip 1 = menuMc (this is the menu interface with movieClip buttons)
MovieClip 2 = tabSlider (this is the content holder that tweens in after a click)
MovieClip2 = imgBgHolder (this hold's my images)

What I am trying to accomplish is after a button is clicked, a variable imgBg is set that can be called when "imgBgHolder" plays and hits a frame with gotoAndPlay("imgBg");. There are six buttons using the same var imgBg in case that makes a difference!

Can anyone give some advise as to why the movieClip will not gotoAndPlay the set variable?

Thanks very much

Code:
menuMc.history.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, historyOver);
function historyOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
menuMc.history.gotoAndPlay("in");
menuMc.history.buttonMode = true;
}

menuMc.history.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, historyOut);
function historyOut(event:MouseEvent):void{
menuMc.history.gotoAndPlay("out");
}
menuMc.history.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, historyClick);
function historyClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
var imgBg:String = "historyImg";
tabSlider.gotoAndStop("home");
tabSlider.tabSliderContent.gotoAndStop("history");
menuMc.history.buttonMode = true;
imgBgHolder.play();
}

Using A Variable As A Frame Label Inside A GotoAndPlay()
Hello, and thanks for you help in advance,

I have gotoAndPlay(_level0.step), but _level0.step refers to a frame label, not a frame number. what's the syntax for that. Right now if _level0.step = 2 is going to frame 2 rather than label 2, which is what it is supposed to do.

How can I do this.

Thanks

Pass Variable To GotoAndPlay Frame Number
Hi, I'm just beginning in actionscript so I might be looking at this the wrong way!!
I have created a simple slider that gives me a variable depending on where the slider is positioned i.e. the percentage.
I then have a simple movieclip 100 frames long where a red square turns into a blue square (shape tweened then converted to key frames).
I want this movieclip to jump to whatever frame corresponds to the percentage of the slider i.e. 20% would be frame 20
100% would be frame 100 etc.
I can't work out how to assign the percentage variable as a frame number in the gotoAndPlay (or gotoAndStop).
Help!!
Thanks

GotoAndPlay A Frame Label Where The Frame Label Is A Variable
gotoAndPlay a frame label where the frame label is a variable

I found a cool dynamic menu that works off of arrays and have been able to modify/customize the array. Once you click on the button it sets a variable name the variable is “_root.select”

I would like to the root time line to gotoAndPlay a frame label that I have that would be the variable name

Lets say in my array I have the following
Jim
Dave
Sally
Karen

And the user selects Dave the variable “_root.select” would be Dave
I would then like the root timeline to gotoAndPlay the frame label Dave
This would fall under the Function below

nc.onRelease = function() {
// Function to get submenu actions needs to go here
var my_str:String = new String(this);
_root.select = my_str.slice(18);
_root.gotoAndPlay (what goes here)

Any Help would be appreciated

Make Button Go To Certain Frame Depending On What Frame Movie Is On?
I want to be able to tell a button to go to a certain frame depending on what frame the movie is on. In this flash file, I have a piece of paper moving to the top of the screen, two pieces of tape coming to tape it up, and then writing on the paper. I want to make it that if someone has already clicked on a link, and the paper and everything is on the top of the page, that the next link they click on, just goes to the frame where the writing for the page begins, and not have the paper and tape again and vice versa...

I hope this makes sense...

[F8] Using A For Loop To Set A Variable Depending On MC Position
here's my question. not actually sure if i'm going about this quite the right way, but this is as far as i've got. i have a gallery of thumbnails already on the stage, each has an instance name 'w1' .. to 'w10'. they are inside of a 'strips' movieclip that i have tweening when i press on buttons. all working fine. now i want to set a variable depending on which movieclip is in the center of the viewing panel, thus the current movieclip. this is what i have:

Code:
function webSetup(){
for(var i=1; i <= 10 ;i++){
if(_root.btmNav.nav.strips["w"+i]._x == 120){
_root.currentThumb = "w"+i;
}
}
trace(_root.currentThumb);
}

and webSetup is called on the completion of each tween caused by the fwd/back buttons. this is currently returning 'w1' for each movieclip, regardless of which is in the center. my brain doesn't quite know what went wrong. i'm hoping there's a better way of doing it... can anyone help?
thanks!

As3: Load Two Videos Depending On A Variable
Hi,

I have a video with different possible endings so i splitted the video:

First part:
-intro.flv

Second part:
-end1.flv
-end2.flv
-end3.flv...

I need to play the second part when the first one is finished (the user can't notice that he is playing two videos). I'll setup a variable to choose which second part is played (intro.flv + end1.flv or intro.flv + end2.flv...).

My question is:

- How can i play the first and second part continued? intro.flv+end1.flv
- Can i preload the second part when the first one is running?
- Which component / class / player do you recommend me? flvplayback, jw player?

Any guide it will be welcome. thanks!

Subject:_ Play A MC, Depending What Frame Your On
I need a script to do the following: -

When the mouse is clicked, check the frame number,
if frame is 10 then play "test1" ,
if frame is 20, then play "test 2",
if frame is 30, then do nothing.

I have tried the code, but got stuck: -

on (release) {
if frame = 10{
_root.test1.play();
_root.gotoAndPlay(40);
}
if frame = 30{
_root.test2.play();
_root.gotoAndPlay(40);

Buttons Activating MCs Depending On What Frame#s They're At
Hello all. It appeared that in here messages have capacities, so here are the 3 sequential messages...

I'm quite a newbie in flash AS though I'm trying hard to improve.
So here's my problem:

In a scene...

I have 2 MC instances, namely MCinstance1 and MCinstance2. On top of each of these, I have 2 invisible buttons, namely Button1 and Button2 on a separate layer. Finally I have 2 animations (MC instances) for each button named respectively, anim1 and anim2.

Now,

Both of the instances are at their first frames which have "stop" actions.

I want to achieve these under the circumstances below:

At the beginning, when you click on Button1, MCinstance1 (under that) has the code:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("MCinstance1") {
gotoAndStop(22);
}
}

And still at the beginning, if you click on Button2, MCinstance2 has the code:

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("MCinstance2") {
gotoAndStop(22);
}
}

Changing Frame Depending On The Page
Hi,

I'm still a noob with Flash sadly (well, with everything except CSS to be honest lol) so bear with me...

I'm making a flash navigation which does a small animation then changes the banner (which is part of the flash) when you click on a button.

I was wondering if it's possible to get the .swf to load a certain frame (ie load a different banner) depending on what page I'm on or maybe by a variable that is set in the page (as I may need the same banner for different pages)? I'm keeping it as one .swf so I don't have to do them all separately.

So if anyone could give me a bit of guidance I'd be chuffed.

Cheers

Display Variable Text Depending On Score
Hiyas,

I've got a simple quiz, in which the score sits in a variable and displays the score as you go along. This all works fine!

However, I'd like to change the text at the end of a quiz, depending on what score a person got.

I'm thinking something along the lines of...

If the score is higher or equal to 8 but less than 12 (8, 9, 10, 11), display "Captain".
If the score is higher or equal to 12 but less than 15 (12, 13, 14), display "Corporal".
And so forth.
Finally, if it's equal to 15, display "General".

Sorry, I'm really tired!

Is it possible to set the Movie width as a fixed amount, but the height of the movie to scale depending on the amnount of the content that is applied to a dynamic text field or other element.

Say movie width 770px, but height would be in relation to an instance name???????

Please advise, as I really do not want to use a fixed size movie with scrollable elements.

[CS3] Goto And Play Depending On Variable Passed
Ok,

so i have my movie which has a form and i've successfully managed to pass a query string from a webpage to my movie which i want to display if there is an error.

Trouble is, there is a lengthy movie clip at the beginning of my form and if there is an error with the form, it's a nightmare to have the user sit through the movie each time to fill out the form correctly.

Basically what i want to say in my actionscript is:

If there is a variable passed through query string
gotoAndPlay frame labelled 'register'

I have tried the following which defines the actual value of the query string:

if (formError=="woteva") {
gotoAndPlay(register);
}

but this didn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Function That Executes Depending On Variable Speed
hi all

I want to run a function a number of times. The amount of times it gets run should depend on a variable value. The higher the value, the more often it should run, the less the value, the less time it gets executed(if the value of the variable is 0 it shouldn't run at all) what I'm doing is making a game and the faster the user accelerates the faster objects should appear on the stage. Then the slower the user goes the less objects should appear. Ideally if the function could read it's value directly from my vy value that would be great. Anyone got an idea how I would go about this?

my code sofar:

Code:
var vy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = .05;
var friction:Number = 0.99;

function accelerator() // gets called by an onEnterframe
{
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP))
{
vy += speed; // velocity is increased by speed
if(vy >= maxSpeed) //this little if just limits speed max
{
vy = maxSpeed;
//trace("maxspeed achieved");
}
} else if (vy <= 0.001) // this little if just prevent to much math
{
vy = 0;
}
else { vy *= friction; } if the user takes hand off friction gets applied

}
ok so that's what I've got so far. Obviously I've tried to do this on my own but since I've gotten not very far at all I've decided to not include the code seeing as it will probably just confuse you(or make you laugh)

Any ideas?

Starting Movie On Certain Frame Depending On Page It Is On?
Hello all,

I have a small problem. I'm creating a site with a create flash header/menu, however the menu has submenus and should display a different frame on each page it is placed on.

I.e. on site1.php the movie should display frame 10 and the links while on site2.php it should display the frame 20 and buttons from that spot in the flash movie.

I thought about givng each page a variable and in the flashfile use actionsscript to find the correct spot to disply -

if (variable == page1) {
gotoAndStop(10);
}

But I'm no flash expert and I don't know if it is possible to use variables from outside of the flash movie itself and if so how do I do it??

Any advice is highly appreciated.

GotoAndPlay(frame) Messing Up If Frame Is The Current Frame
I have a bug with my buttons and I am trying to figure out how to fix them. I have about 5 different buttons that will take me to different places on my website (http://www.usu.edu/drc)(don't judge me on design, I am not the greatest web designer)

Anyway, if I click on the students button it will load the students swf and take me to that frame in my mc. If I am already in the students frame, it loads the next frame in my mc instead doing nothing, which is what I want it to do. Anybody know why this is?

Now to fix the problem. I am fairly new to AS and was hardcoding my frames, but as I add frames and move things around, I have to go in and change the frame numbers, hello frame labels. Well, I now have the different frames labeled but I need to check if _currentFrame is equal to my frame label. I don't know how to do this.

What I was thinking is something like this:

if(_currentFrame.name == "students"){ don't do anything }

I don't know if this would work or if this is even the right syntax. Anybody have an idea on this one? Thanks for the help.

Obviously thats not code, i realize, but it seems there should be something using that kind of vocabulary, no?

Also, anyone recommend any good books on understanding actionscript better?

GotoAndPlay( Variable )
Hey,

I have a movieclip named 'screengrabs' in which the first frame is empty and the other frames all contain a screengrab. So now I want to jump to a certain framenumber, but the framenumber has to be a varible...

As far as I understand I have to use gotoAndPlay and the select 'Expression' in the droplist for 'type' and then put an expression in the 'Frame' field. I've tried both a number and a name which I've also assigned to the keyframes in the mc 'screengrabs' but it doesn't work.

This is the code that I have:

frame = "sc_" +(cur_active + 1);
tellTarget ("_root.screengrabs") {
gotoAndPlay (frame);
}

cur_active is a number and I have named the keyframes 'sc_2', 'sc_3' etc.

I have also tried something like:

frame = cur_active + 1;
tellTarget ("_root.screengrabs") {
gotoAndPlay (frame);
}

But that doesn't work either

Any thoughts??

Thanks, Pascal

Variable Use In GotoAndPlay();
I need a bit of advice, I have a function, that is evaluating variables and based on the variables, tells it where to go in the move. The issue I am having is how do I assign the MC name for the gotoAndPlay command based on the variables.

code:
function menuEval();{
if (currentSection==newSection);{

} else
_parent.(I need this to be the variable currentSection).gotoAndPlay("rollout");
_parent.(I need this to be the variable newSection).gotoAndPlay("rollover");
currentSection= newSection;
}
}

Can I do it just by putting the variable name in the gotoAndPlay statement? ie

code:
else
_parent.currentSection.gotoAndPlay("rollout");
_parent.newSection.gotoAndPlay("rollover");
currentSection= newSection;

Or is there a better way to do this? Thank you in advance for the help.

Using A Variable With GotoAndPlay
I'm trying to use a variable with gotoAndPlay. The object is to avoid animating multiple transitions, so when a user clicks on a button, it sets a variable (the name of the desired scene) and then goes to the next frame in the current scene and finishes the animation. Then on the last frame of the animation, I want to tell it to go to the scene defined in the variable.

The problem I'm having is that the scene name in the gotoAndPlay command is required to be in quotes, but if I put it in quotes, that tells it to go to a scene named my variable rather than a scene named the value in my variable.

It is set up like this. Variable is called "trans" and I set it to sc3, the name of my third scene.

Frame 1 actions:
var trans;
stop();

Button action:
on (press) {
trans = "sc3";
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Frame 5 action
gotoAndPlay(trans, 1);

I've also tried this for Frame 5:
trans();

Any suggestions on how to do this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm just trying to learn actionscript and I'm running into a problem. I am trying to define a variable to be (24- _currentframe) of a MC. Then I want the animation to gotoAndPlay(theabovementionedvariable)

is this possible? do i need to write it another way? as far as i can tell, the gotoAndPlay command needs a frame number, not a variable in it.

any help is much appreciated!

thanks in advance.

How To GotoAndPlay (variable) ?
I'm testing something out for a site, so I created a simple flash movie.

I have 2 scenes, 'scene 1' and 'scene 2'. And I have a movie clip called 'nav'.

In 'scene 1' I placed the nav movie clip, and on the frame I put this code:

stop();
var frame = "green";

then, a gaphic symbol in the nav has this code:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("start");
}

where start is a frame label in 'scene 2'.

so when the user presses the button it goes to the 'start' frame (which is the first frame) in 'scene 2' and plays until it reaches a frame with this action:

stop();
gotoAndPlay(_root.frame);

at which point it should jump to the frame labeled 'green', but this code does not work. Does anyone know the correct way to code this????

I know you can do it with numbers, but I'm trying to do it with strings so its easier to navigate through timelines.

Variable.gotoAndPlay(); How To Do It?
I'm trying to get this kind of script to work
_root.enemy[_global.variable].gotoAndPlay(8);
but it doesn't

This is inside a different MC(MC1) and I want another MC(MC2) to gotoandplay() when this frame is played on the MC1.
I need a variable there too because the engine names the MC2s enemy[variable].
