Is It Possible To Go To Next / Last Marker?
What I would like to do is have something similar to nextFrame prevFrame...only instead of advancing to the next frame number, it would go to the next marker. No matter what the name.

Can this be done? I just want a universal next and back button.

Thanks!

How To Go To A Marker With A New Opened Swf?
hi there,

I have a question, if I want to go to a marker of a new swf, how do code it in actionscript? so that after I click a flash button, it will open a new flash, and a particular marker within the new flash. hope this time I made it clear, thanks very much in advance.

I tried, but doesn't work....
getURL("xxx.html"); <---- content a flash flash
gotoAndPlay("space"); <------ a marker I want to go

Scripted Navigation Marker
I have a horizontal text navbar where when a link is active a black square is behind it (the others don have the black square behind them). What I am trying to do is when another link is clicked on, the current black square moves down and out of sight, and it appears to slide back up on the newly clicked on link.

Or, if this is too hard to script, the black square could slide over to the new link instead.

Either way, I am guessing the code would be pretty easy, I just don't know how its done. Thanks

Linking To A Marker Within A Movie
Hopefully this is simple, coz I don't know where to start.

If you look at: http://www.vurvmedia.com/robbie/home2.html I will explain.

When you click the button ‘marker1’ it goes to marker ‘nav’ which is on the next frame of the timeline. This loads the movie 'nav' into ‘holderclip’.

The trick is that depending on which button you press it still goes to the beginning of the timeline of the movie I have loaded.

Depending on which button you press I want the play head to go to a specific marker.

At the moment it just goes to the beginning of the timeline. I want to control where it goes in the target movie.

Would appreciate anyone's help with this.

Cheers

OnRelease Go To Marker And New Screen
Hello all, I am creating a slide presentation that has video. Using the component inspector I set cue points so the slides change when the video hits a certain time marker.

I want to put a string of numbers at the bottom (1 2 3 4, etc). Each of these numbers would be a button that would go to the appropriate slide.

My question is, how do I make these buttons not only go to the right slide but also go to the right cue point in the video. Thanks much.

Video Marker Points.?
Okay; hopefully I explain this worth a dang;

Right now I'm linking external FLV files that are up to a minute & a half long.... I am basically having to turn these into presentations with text displaying on the screen throughout the video....... Because I am a total novice here; I am allowing the time-line to stretch out (3000+ frames) and just dropping in the text elements near the section of the video they need to be......... My concern / question: I KNOW there is a better way of doing this right? Is extending this thing out 3000 frames idiotic ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Custom Swf Marker In Yahoo Map
Hi there,

I'm creating a swf marker for a yahoo map that we're using for a client. I'm doing a custom marker for plotting points on the map that dynamically loads in text. The problem is I want to animate the box behind the text to create a frame round the text. The text can be any number of characters so is there a way I can automatically scale the box to fit round the text?

Any help would be great.

Playing Marker From Button In Different Movie
Hi everyone,
I am new to actionscript and I am having trouble playing a movie clip by pressing a button that is in a different movie clip. I've tried to use the tell target command, without any success. Would anybody have any idea what I could be doing wrong.

on(release){
tell target("movieclipb")
gotoAndPlay("markername")
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again

Trying To Get To Marker On Root From Inside Loaded Swf
This is my problem. I have a two frame root with a stop on each frame. The first frame randomly loads one of 5 different swf intro movie files. Once done it goes to frame 2 which contains my menu. It has 5 blank loader MCs that contain my 5 different pages. When you click on one of the 5 buttons it loads that swf into its blank MC and you are then able to nagivate around in that swf.

Now my problem is I need a button that allows me to return to frame 2 on my root to access the menu again. I am tried using a goto action to a marker that I have placed on frame 2 called "menu." It works in a sense but it still goes through frame 1 which loads one of the intro movies. I don't want it to do this. I want to be able to skip to frame 2 the "menu" frame. I have also tried the goto action with just using 2 and it still goes to through the first frame. What is the correct way to go about getting to frame 2 inside the loaded swf file without having to go through frame 1 also?

Thanks

Calling A Marker From A Loaded Movie
Appreciate anyones help with this one, I would think I only need one line of code?

From my master file "master.swf" I have loaded a movie into a mc called "holder_mc". The movie that is loading into this mc is "work.swf".

What I need to do is move the play head on the timeline of "master.swf" to a marker called "actions" from a button in the loaded movie "work.swf".

I would image I would need to describe the movie name and then give the desired marker name on _root.

Here is what I am trying:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("images/neonMaster.swf", _root."archives");

}

Anyone got any ideas

Cheers

Visited Marker That Appears Next To A Link
I have seen an effect done with Flash, but I am unsure how it is done.

Effect description:

The Flash movie begins by displaying a short list of individual links where it pauses.
Each of these links in the list when clicked, causes the user to â€œjumpâ€ to a key frame in the middle of the movie. (Essentially the user â€œjumpsâ€ to a frame in the middle of the movie.)

If the user goes back to the beginning of the movie a â€œmarkerâ€ has appeared beside the link that they clicked, marking the area they have visited.

Has anyone seen this effect? Does anyone know of a tutorial for constructing such a Flash?

Thank you,

TPK

Menu Marker Moving To The Rollover
Hi everybody,

I am trying to create a menu where a marker (a mc with a triagular shape) will move to the button where the mouse is in rollover, and if you don't click on the button the MC will move back to the initial position, or if you click the MC remains marking the clicked button.

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?

Thanks a lot

Menu Marker Moving To The Rollover
Hi everybody,

I am trying to create a menu where a marker (a mc) will move to the button where the mouse is in rollover, and if you don't click on the button the MC will move back to the initial position, or if you click the MC remains marking the clicked button, and the Y original will be the Y coordinate of the clicked button.

Below is the code.

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?

Thanks a lot

ActionScript Code:
marker_mc._y = movie1_mc._y;
var originalY:Number = movie1_mc._y;
for (i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
_root["movie" + i + "_mc"].onRollOver = function() {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.temp_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.marker_mc._y > this._parent._y) {
_root.marker_mc._y -= 5;
}
if (_root.marker_mc._y < this._parent._y) {
_root.marker_mc._y += 5;
}
};
};
_root["movie" + i + "_mc"].onRollOut = function() {
this.temp_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {

_root.marker_mc._y -= 5;
}
if (_root.marker_mc._y < _root.originalY) {

Input Text Box Eats My Insertion Marker
Hey folks, here's the deal...
I've created a dynamically generated input text box, and formatted it using the following code:
//--------------
_root.createTextField("myText", 100, 50, 120, 350, 28);
myText.type = "input";
myText.border = true;
myText.background = false;
myText.multiline = false;
myText.html = false;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.variable = _root.myTextFieldName;
myText.maxChars = 50;

myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.color = 0xFF0000;
myTextFormat.font ="Arial";
myTextFormat.size = 18;
myText.text = "Yippee! It works!";
myText.setTextFormat(myTextFormat);
//-------------------

The problem is that if I put default text in the box, if the user uses the *backspace* key to remove the default text then the insertion marker disappears, never to be seen again. That's what happens if you embed the font..
However, if you DON'T embed the font, then removing the default text with *backspace* removes the text formatting... arg.
If I don't put ANY default text in the box to start with, then the insertion marker simply isn't there at all.
Did any of that make sense?
You can see an example of the 3 scenarios at:

http://www.neteze.com/luminous/test/texttest3.swf

I don't get it, can someone help get my brain straightened out on what's happening? And how to make it stop...
Thanks much...

Object Marker Postion, Quick Question
That little cros hair when you creat a new mc, button, graphic. We us it to postion out objects. Can we make it disappear? just so i can see how it looks without having to run the swf

On/off Switch For Marker Button (harder Than It Sounds)
So I've got this pen icon that I want (when clicked) to be able to draw anywhere on the stage. This is working. But when you click on the pen icon AGAIN the pen drawings you made need to disappear and its drawing function needs to turn off so you can go back to navigating (without pen marks happening again).

What I can't figure out is how to turn the pen OFF after it's turned ON...? Sounds like a simple solution of making a true/false state somehow, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it.

Thank you for any help on this.

Here's the code so far to get the pen to work:

on (press) {
// 1. SETTING THINGS
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);

// 2. EVENTS IN _ROOT:
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
line.lineStyle(2,0x000000,100);
this.onMouseMove = function(){
line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
updateAfterEvent();
}
}
_root.onMouseUp = function(){
this.onMouseMove = null;
}
}

// Alternate Button to erase?
buttonErase.onPress = function(){
_root.line.clear();
}

Fade Sound Loop At Marker In The Timeline?
I have read similar threads to this but haven't managed to figure it out, as I am not in the least a Flash guru.

I want to fade out a looping sound the end of an animation.
Perhaps fade out at a particlur marker on the timeline.

Can someone please give me a solution or advice to this problem.

Thank you

Yahoo Maps - Button To Display Marker

Can anyone please help me?

Still Cant Find A Working Example Of A Sliding Mover Clip With Marker
I posted on here a couple of days ago a question of how to make a sliding movie clip that uses a marker and some buttons to select what position it goes to when each button is clicked. I am thinking of using this technique in my online website or portfolio. I would also like to have it accelerate and decelerate to each section of the clip and that clip is to only move along the horizontal axis.

I posted to see if anyone could give me a working example as I had searched here and found nothing that was what I was looking for. Someone posted something which I am still having trouble getting to work. I appreciate the help I have received so far but was hoping someone else might have an example they could post to help me build my own.

please feel free to email me at pixelmagikau@yahoo.com.au

Is There Any Way To Use A Marker Placed In An FLV To Trigger A Scripted Page Turn In A Flashpaper Swf?
Is there any way to use a Marker placed in an FLV to trigger a scripted page turn in a Flashpaper swf if they are both embedded in the same page? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere on this, but it seems like it would theoretically work. Any thing anyone can tell me about this will be appreciated

Best Way To Create A "marker" In A Swf For Object Placement
Hello, I need to dynamically create and place some objects in actionscript, but I want the locations of those objects to be data driven by some sort of marker inside of my movie clip swf.

For example, I could draw a box, and then in actionscript find the location of that box, place my dynamic object there, and then hide the box so it doesn't show up.

But I wonder if there's a better way to do this, so I'm not actually creating these unused graphics?

[CS3] Draggable Marker That "writes"
I have created a mc that looks like a marker, with a button inside it with this script. I need the marker to be draggable and this works so far. I am using As 1.0 or 2.0 (not 3.0)

on (press) {
startDrag (this, true);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();

Now I need some code that says "when the draggable marker thing is over a certain mc, go inside that mc to this a certain frame label and play."

I have tried various things and can't get anything but the drag to work. Bascially, I want to be able to grab the marker, and "write" a number on an object. I figured the best I could do is when the marker is over the spot where you would write the number, have a mc in that spot that unmasks a number, to simulate it being written. I have these levels in my movie: mc on main timeline, mc called "marker" inside it, and button with script inside the marker mc.

Anyone have ideas? Thanks!

Hi,

Anybody knows how is the effect in the home page created. Is it in Actionscript or they are using any external softwares for that.

Not Doing What I've Created
I have created a simple web banner that only has a couple tweens in it. An image flies across the screen and then I've created tweens for text to fade in. When I manually play the movie, it works fine. When I test it or publish it and play it, the text just pops in - doesn't fade. I don't get it. Is there a setting wrong or something? Thanks!

I am new to the Flash world but have been trying really hard to get into it as best as I can. My question is about websites like http://www.2advanced.com, http://www.derbauer.de or http://ff0000.com/. How much of these websites is pure Flash, ActionScript, After Effects or 3D application like Cinema 4d or Maya? I know there is a lot of creativity involved but what's after the creativity? A little bit of 3D/After Effects and a lot of ActionScript? Thank you very much in advance for your time and help.

HELP I've Created A Monster
Working in Flash MX on a Mac.
I've created a scene that is too large to open or preview and it is crashing me both to the desktop and total computer freeze. I am getting this...

ERROR:

[b]There is not enough memory to open this scene. Your document is not damaged and may be safely saved.
To increse availabe memory, close open documents or quit and use the get info command in the Finder to allocate more memory to Flash.[b]

I have allocated more memory and no improvement at all.

My question is How do I fix this file and if I can't fix it, how do I avoid making another monster file when I do it over? This is a gallery of images.

Oh, one more thing, I usually work by cutting images from Photoshop and pasting directly into Flash rather than importing them, is this okay?

Thanks.
