Navigating To A Frame


Hi,

I've a framed webpage, one of the frames is called "Details".

What I want to do is when the user clicks on a flash button, the Details frame is updated accordingly.

I have the following code...
on(release)
{
getURL("about.htm",details)
}

But that doesn't work, the frame where the flash is gets updated instead. I've even tried telling the HTML page what the default base-frame is, and that still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

TIA

Navigating To A Specific Frame In Another MC?
I have three movies which load one after the other.

"Movie 1" has 10 frames manually navigated between frames with the last frame opening MC "Movie 2"

"Movie 2 has 10 frames also manually navigated with its frame 10 opening up MC "Movie 3"

What I am having problems doing is providing the ability to navigate back from "Movie 2" frame 1 to "Movie 1" frame 10. The best I can do is go back to "Movie 1" frame 1.

[in case you are wondering, I split it up because it was getting big, and I wanted it to load faster]

If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Navigating By Frame Label
Hi,

I'm doing a large presentation (at least 100 pages), so I'm looking for a simple way to navigate it, that will allow for easy modifications. I'm using flash 5.

I've a movieClip every tenth frame of the main timeline, which is effectively a slide. Each of these "slide" frames has it's own frame label (eg - slide001, slide002, etc). I'm trying to script simple next/previous buttons, that will jump to the next or previous label (not frame).

Basically I'm trying to avoid having to rescript the button every time it gets to a new "slide frame". I could stick these "slide frames" on consecutive frames (not every tenth one), and use simple next/previous frame script, but the timeline gets really busy then, and I can't easily read my frame labels. It would also complicate fading from one slide to the next. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks,
Alex

Navigating Multiple Frame Help
Hi, I seem to be having trouble jumping from one frame to another that are in different orders. My scripting looks something like this:

stop ();
btnmybook.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(4);}
btnhome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(1);}
btntasks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(4);}

I want different buttons to go to the same frame in this example and some to other frames as well but I get this message "1021 duplicate function definition" I'm no programmer, but I would say my coding is probably wrong for something like that. I've also tried

stop ();
btnmybook.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnmybookFunction);
function btnmybookFunction(event: MouseEvent) {gotoAndStop(4);}
btnhome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnhomeFunction);
function btnhomeFunction(event: MouseEvent) {gotoAndStop(1);}
btntasks.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btntasksFunction);
function btntasksFunction(event: MouseEvent) {gotoAndStop(4);}

but then I get this message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ClientLinkTraining_Scene_fla::MainTimeline/ClientLinkTraining_Scene1_fla::frame1()"

I used flash back in the days of flash 5 when things were like goto and stop business... I'm gonna try and learn this programming junk, but am I really capable of it? Should I just pack it back in the box and send it back (as if I could right?) ha, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Navigating To Frame Number Within MC
Hi-- Happy New Year!

Real simple question, I'm sure, but I'm having a tough time (novice!).

I know theoretically this should work, but I'm probably overlooking something simple. Any help is much appreciated.

I have on the main timeline a series of MC's, one of which I am trying to access and have play a specific frame within it. For instance:

on(release){
_root.finish.gotoAndPlay(667);
}

"finish" is the MC instance name.

I have been able to have the button play the MC from the beginning of the MC, but I can't seem to drill down into the MC timeline in order to play that specific frame number. I've been using the following code:

on(release){
this.gotoAndPlay('secondlevel2_mc');
}

'secondlevel2_mc' is the label name I've designated for the frame of the movieclip "finish".
Any ideas?

I have been referencing the MC by this label ('secondlevel2_mc') up until now... Should I remove it? Would there be some conflict between the label name and the movieclip name?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best,

MK

Navigating To A Frame Label
Hi All,

I am trying to navigate from one mc to another mc and specifically to a frame labe in the targeted mc.

The code I have does work in terms of getting to the target mc but I can't get it to go to the mc:

on (release) {
_root.pages.gotoAndStop(_root.link = 3);
}

I tried this to get to the frame label "multi" but all it does it what the above code does:

on (release) {
_root.pages.gotoAndStop(_root.link = 3);
_root.pages["page"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("multi");
}

Can anyone help me on a solution for this?

Many Thanks,
Scott

Navigating To Frame Label In A MC
Hi All,

I need some help and I will try to explain what I am trying to do the best i can.

I have a flash movie that has a mc called "pages" in Scene1. In the mc "pages" I have 4 key frames each representing 4 pages (i.e. 4 movie clips each one representing a page).

I have buttons in each of these pages. My question is this. How can I navigate from a button in a page to another page specifically going to a frame label? I can get to the page using this ActionScript:

on (release) {
_root.pages.gotoAndPlay(_root.link = 3);
}

This works. The above example takes me to page 3. However, I not only want to get to page 3 but specifically go to a frame label in the mc that I am identifying as page 3.

Any help is much appreciated.

Scott

Navigating To Specific Frame From One Movie To The Next
I am creating a virtual tour that has four sections. When the user gets to the end of the first section, the next button will take them to the beginning of the next movie. I could use getURL for this. But when they click the back button of the first page of the section two it needs to jump to frame 126 of section 1. not to the beginning of section 1.

I think I should use levels and targets as the solution, but not really clear on how to pull this one off.

You can take a gander at http://www.concordia.edu/html/virtua...ampus_tour.htm
to get an idea of where I'm going with this. The navigation at the bottom jumps to the different sections, but the next button at the end of each section currently loops back into itself.

Thanks!

Trouble Navigating Back To A Named Frame
Hi all,
I am having trouble navigating back to a named frame, here is my situation.
I have two frames, one named "frame1" and the other "frame2".
On frame1 i have a movieclip. On the first frame of this MC i have the following actionscript:

Code:
// Position of first cell
X_OFFSET = 195;
Y_OFFSET = -26;
// Spacing between cells
X_CELL_SPACING = 173;
Y_CELL_SPACING = 124;

var count = 1;

var MyArrayName = new Array("FEATURE 1","FEATURE 2","FEATURE 3","FEATURE 4","FEATURE 5","FEATURE 6","FEATURE 7","FEATURE 8","FEATURE 9");

for (var y = 0; y<3; y++) {
for (var x = 0; x<3; x++) {
_root.attachMovie("thumbpic", "pic"+count, count, {_x:X_OFFSET+x*X_CELL_SPACING, _y:Y_OFFSET+y*Y_CELL_SPACING});
_root["pic"+count].header = "myImage"+count+".gif";
depth++;
}
}
Within this newly opened movieclip are another series of frames. On the last frame is another moveclip. If you go into it this there is an on(release) function that i want to open the frame named "frame2" (the frame on the main timeline from the start).
I've been trying all sorts of combinations to no avail, for example:

Code:
on (release) {

_root.feature_no = _parent._name.slice(3);
_root.feature_title = _parent.feature_title;
_parent._parent._parent.gotoAndStop("feature");

}
Any ideas?

Chad

Navigating To Previous And Next Frame Label, Stumped
i have a couple buttons that i want to move the timeline to previous or next Frame Label. i have tried one way that didn't work and i see there is an array that i could use for Frame Labels but i don't know how to work with it to get what i want.

here is the class that i made, it currently has the initial try which dind't work and just the basic array set up:

Code:
package lesson
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.FrameLabel;

public class BackScene extends SimpleButton
{
private var _label:String; //for initial try
private var _sceneNum:String; //for initial try

private var labels:Array = MovieClip(parent).currentLabels;

public function BackScene()
{
_label = MovieClip(parent).currentLabel; // string equal to previous Frame Label
_sceneNum = _label.substr(1,_label.length) //string equal to 2nd digit on of prev. Frame Label
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, oneSceneBack);
}

private function oneSceneBack(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay("S" + "(int(_sceneNum) - 1)"); //not working

for (var i:uint = 0; i < labels.length; i++) // array
{
var label:FrameLabel = labels[i];
trace("frame " + label.frame + ": " + label.name);
}
}

}
}
btw, the traced array returns (and in the final version, no frame labels will be right next to each other on frames):

Code:
frame 184: S0
frame 185: S1
frame 197: S2
frame 198: S3
frame 199: S4
frame 200: S5

Navigating To Frame Label In Mc From Main Timeline
Lets say that in my main timeline, I have a number of frame labels. On stage I have a movie clip (let's call it bg_mc) which contains a tweened animation that has been looping repeatedly (so it has its own timeline with its own frame labels).

I would like this to happen:

- On the main timeline, the playhead enters a specific frame called "newBackground."
- When that happens, I want the playhead in bg_mc to jump to the first frame in its timeline, "beginLoop."

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks so much for your help!

Navigating To A Labeled Frame In A Scene Of A Loaded Movie
Hey Gang!
How do you navigate to a labeled frame in a scene of a loaded movie? Here's the example. I have my main movie. From there I am loading a new .swf to level5. The .swf loaded on level 5 has 2 scenes - Scene1 and Scene2. In the second scene (Scene2) I have a labeled frame Go. How do I make the level5 movie to go to and play from label Go in Scene2? Here's how I do it but it doesn't seem to work:
_level5.gotoAndPlay("Scene2", "Go")
Do I have to specify the name of the scene or since all scenes are considered as parts of one big timeline I have to target just the frame label?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
TIA.

Keeping A Disabled Button Disabled After Navigating Away From The Frame
Okay, so... I'm making a VERY basic Jeopardy game, and I need buttons to be disabled after being clicked on once.

Oh, and I'm working in CS3, but I'm using AS 1&2 because that's what I learned... I have no idea how to use AS 3...

example:
frame 1 has btn11 in it. btn11 when clicked takes the person to frame 2. when done with frame 2, they click on return.


the return button (btnReturn1) has the following AS

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Round1",1)
btn11.enabled=false;
}

the problem is that it works at first - the button disables when I get back to frame 1, but the next time I click a different button then return to frame 1, the first button I disabled isn't disabled anymore.

can you help me fix my actionscript so that my disabled buttons stay that way no matter how many times I come and go from the frame? or if you have a better way to do it, that'd be great. basically, it's like the jeopardy screen, and after "songs" for 200 is clicked, I don't want it to be clickable again at all.

SLIDE PRESENTATION - NAVIGATING TO FIRST FRAME OF EACH SLIDE?
Hello -

Newbie needs some help -

I'm creating a Flash Slide Presentation. A number of the slides have brief animations, and timelines of up to 30 frames.

The first time I page through, each slide begins on the correct frame (#1). When I page back or forward a second time, the screen remains static on the last frame of the timeline.

How do I make it so that each time I navigate (or renavigate) to a screen, the animation will play from the beginning, starting with the first frame?

Thanks,

Navigating PDF Still
O.K. folks here's the deal.

I'm trying to get Flash MX to navigate to a specific spot (page is fine) in a PDF file. I have an HTML set up with my menu in one frame, and a PDF file in another frame. I want the user to click on page 3 on my menu, and the PDF file goes to page 3.

I thank Justmade for trying to help, but I am not at that level. I tried to figure out what LPFlashEx.exe was doing, and it didn't work when I launched it, and when I looked at the FLA file part of my brain exploded.

Justmade said I could do it in HTML with Javascript. Does anyone have an example?

Navigating Around A Map? HELP
(flash mx 2004)
Hello All, this is my first post here!

I have a Question that you might have a quick answer for people on here... Basically I am trying to create this website/animated book. The idea is to have a map in the background that moves to a different place according to the chapter or 'stop" along the map.

The book will begin, chapter 1, map is at location1, then at chapter 2, the map will re-adjust and move to a different point. I also wanted to know how to make this possible with a Back and Next button. I have heard that scenes do this and I am sure position coordinates can control this, but I dont know the code.

I have an example of what I am trying to mimic... http://www.sva-dv.com

I appreciate all the help in advance,

Navigating To An Swf While Within Another Swf
Okay, here is my question. I have learned how to do a flash project with a number of .swf's that load when they are called for () loadmovie. I have a main swf/projector file with navigation buttons "home," "projects" etc. I also have these inside my other swf's that get loaded when they swf's are called up. My problem is that when I try to click the buttons embedded in the secondary swf's to navigate to the main timeline they do nothing.

I have tried some scripts for the loaded swf's ranging from on(release) {
_root.gotoandplay("projects");
}


I have tried just about every actionscript I could find online. Could you give me a hint as to what I could possibly be doing wrong. I could really use a hand with this one. HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE (hahah)

Navigating Between Swf's
I am attempting to create a better navigational system for my web site. The main 'page' (swf) opens with an animation that ends revealing the main navigational buttons for the entire site. I have broken this page into five scenes which link to each other differently depending upon viewer interaction. This main swf seems to be working well.

I have put the rest of the content of the site into several other swf's to divide up the load time. Otherwise I don't think anyone with a modem connection would bother looking at my site. I have linked the main site to the other sites using the code:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("swf.swf", 0);
}

That's working well - I can get to all of the other content swf's OK.

The problem is getting back into the main site without starting from the first frame. I want to start at scene "elfNav" whose first frame is labeled "elfNav" but so far have only been able to return to the main swf by using the following code on a 'back' button in the content swf's:

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(0);
}
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("elfstoneSite.swf", 0);
}

How can I specify exactly where (which scene or which labeled frame) opens within "elfstoneSite.swf"? I have tried every variation I can think of and so far have only gotten error messages. I'm new to writing code and have hesitated to try anything with different levels for fear it would only add to my confusion.

How does it works to jump to the next scene ?

Navigating Through Scenes
I am making a slideshow style tutorial in Flash 4. I am using scenes for each "slide".

At the end of each scene I put a keyframe with the action "Stop".

And a button with this action:

On (Release)
Go to Next Scene
Play
End On

When I play it on the stage it works right but when I go to Control>Test Movie it doesn't.

The button replays the scene over rather than advancing to the next scene.

Why won't it advance to the next scene? Do I need to use the Tell Target action? I haven't been able to get that to work either.

Thanks in advance, Laura

Navigating Thru An Array
howdy friend

i have a graphic timeline in my movie and a MC called 'dragger' which, when dragged to the right and left, navigates thru different parts of the timeline, revealing info in a dynamic text box, and will later navigate thru corisponding pics, such as: bob's pic and bob's bio, mary's pic and mary's bio etc.

there are ten objects to navigate thru, such as:
bob, bill, mary, joe, etc...when the 'dragger' is dragged

i'm creating 2 buttons which move the 'dragger' MC to the right or left to predetermined spots... as described in an array, such as:

xspot = [-100, -75, -50, -25, 0, 25, 50, 75, 100];

this array was created so the 'dragger' MC knew where to snap to when dragged to different x positions ('dragger' can only be dragged right or left)

ok, so when the 'dragger' is dragged, it snaps to diff. spots as defined in the xspot array, and a dynamic text box's value is changed for each person's bio.

So, what i want to do now is have 2 buttons navigate thru the list of names, which consists of changing three things:

1. the _x position of 'dragger'
2. the contents of the dynamic text box 'biotext'
3. and will later include changing the pic for each person

i'm probably making this way more complicated than necc...

so what i need is some slick way to find out where i am on the timeline, and move everything (the 3 above variables) to the right or left one notch each time a user presses the right or left buttons. then when we come all the way to the right, we loop back to the beginning.

any suggestions greatly appreciated!

thanks for your time,
quazi

ps. feel free to ask for clarification

Navigating Through Different SWF Files
I have two SWF files one has a menu in it (file1) and the other has main content (file2). Does anybody know how to do the following? When clicking on a button in file1, file2 reloads and goes to a specific frame (named anchor)?

Loadaction Navigating
I am producing a 38 slide onscreen presentation and have created a mainmovie.swf containing 38 Scenes.

On the 1st frame of each scene I have an action to load two external swf movies, 1 named (menu.swf) (_level1) and the other intromovie.swf (_level2) so that it makes updating these elements easier and will update in all 38 slides instantly.

My problem is the menu.swf contains nested movies which contain buttons.
I have been able to target frames on the host mainmovie.swf by using the following script.

On (press){
–level0.gotoAndPlay(frame number)

but I want to be able to put a script on the menu buttons to tell the main timeline to go to a specific Scene is this possible without having actions on the timeline of the mainmovie with gotoAndplay(Scenenumber) as that way I would need 38 actions on all 38 slides and if I needed to change them I would need to update 38 times which seems long winded.

I only have basic action script knowledge and hope you flash geniuses may have an easy solution.

Cheers

I am now developing a multiple choice quiz. however i have some problems with navigating to the next question.

After the choice button is clicked, the error or bingo message pops out and stays there for a pause. Then animation is played. After that, the next qn pops out.

Keyboard Navigating
There is a tutorial out there similar to this, but it's not for MX. I was curious if there is an MX tutorial so say if I wanted my users to type in where they wanted to go, they'd type it in. It would display on the screen and they would hit enter and it would take them there. Basically what I am tring to do. Thanks

Navigating Through Levels - Help
I've got a flash movie that loads a swf onto level 1.

When I press a button on the loaded swf file, I want it to return to a specified frame of the host movie (level 0).

I've used the unload movie action but that takes me to frame 1 of the host movie. How can I get round this, if for example I want to got to and stop at frame 5.

Any help much appreciated.
