Flash :: On "press" Check 1st If Hel.mc Reached Frame222 And Then Load The New Mc...(plz Read)

Check If Mc Reached A Certain _y Then Animate
I am sliding a movieclip using easing equations. I need a loop that that steps through the current _y value of that clip and when it reaches the desired position(_yvalue -721) tell another clip to start animating(click_mc)

here is what i have so far

PHP Code:

big_mc.cdown.onRelease =  function(){
    _root.big_mc.slideTo(-130, -720, 1.7, "easeinoutquint");
        for(var i = big_mc._y; i > -721; i--){
            trace(i);
             if(i < -719){
                _root.big_mc.phase1_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
                _root.click_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
         }
    }
}

any ideas?

Load Mc When Reached Frame ...
When my scene plays it stops at say frame 100 for example.
after frame 100 there is also an animation.
when i load my mc by pushing the button on the scene it should firstplay the animation say for exemple from 101 to 130.then show the mc. Is there a actionscript for this or should I have to place 30 empty frames in the start of my mc.

I Want A Movie To Load After Another's _alpha Has Reached 100%
Ok. Here's my problem. I have a button on the main timeline that I have converted to a movie clip, with an instance name of "contactMovie". This movie has a _alpha animation on it.

Now, I also have a blank movie clip on the main stage ("dirtholder")that is a placeholder for a movie that I want to load, with loadMovie, the movie to be loaded is called "dirt1.swf".

What I want to happen here is when "contactMovie" _alpha is 100%, I want "dirt1.swf" to be loaded into "dirtholder".

This the code I have on "contactMovie" button:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

onClipEvent (load) {
// Set initial alpha to zero
this._alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// As long as alpha is lower than 100, increase with five
if (this._alpha<100) {
this._alpha += .5;

}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the code I have on frame 1 of the main timeline to load "dirt1.swf" in to "dirtholder":

----------------------------------------------------------------------
loadMovie("dirt1.swf", dirtholder);
stop()
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you understand what I am taking about I would appreciate some help.

Also, I am having some problems with loadMovie. "dirt1.swf" is loaded into the correct spot on the document, but the link in it does not function. I have been told that this has something to do with _root, _parent, and _level, but I do not understand the syntax. The link works if I just play "dirt1.swf" by itself, but not when it is loaded into my main movie.

Thanks for any help-

[F8] Load External Swf When X-y Coordinates Reached
Hi guys,

I have a simple map viewer I am using for the navigation on a site I'm working on. The background image moves to different coordinates when the respective button is pressed.

When the background image reaches the specific x and y coordinates I want it to load an external swf into a container, without having to press a second button?

For example :
on (release) {
_root.mapmc.Xpos = -900;
_root.mapmc.ypos = 700;
When these coordinates are reached I want it to automaticaly load my swf
???? = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("test.swf", "container");
container._x = 150 ;
container._y = 20 ;
}

Is this possible?
I appreciate any help any one could give me
Thanks!

Check For Certain Key-press In A Textfield..
Howdy all..

I have a lil prob here..

I want to let flash execute a set if external functions (ASP) as soon as a user presses the ENTER-key (chr(13),chr(10)..?) inside an Input field. I tried on(something) and some other stuff, but to no avail. Cos this script only seems to work in button instances. Calling the external ASP scripts is no problem, but getting flash to respond on pressing the ENTER key inside that field seems a lil trickier..

Any support would be greatly appreciated.

thanks lots in advance

Using An Array To Check For Button Press
I have six buttons on a frame. When a user presses a button they are sent to a new frame with information - then they click another button and return to the first frame with the six buttons. I want to be able to check that each button has been pressed, and if it has, I want to set the alpha (since they are MC's) set to 50%. I have done some research on this and have found that using an array is helpful. But how would I set this up?

buttons = ["btn1", "btn2", "btn3", "btn4", "btn5", "btn6"];

But what AS would I use to check which button is pressed and where whould I put this code..on the first frame?

Thanks

Read File Check
how do you check to see if a file has loaded, and to display an error message in a selected box, if an error has occured.

Do I Have To Press Play For My Variables To Load?
im making a list in flash that loads text and links from an external text file.

my problem is that i have to actually press the play button before the variables in the movie are recognized so my buttons with the text and links are blank until i press play.

//here is the code in the root frame of the movie:
indent = 0;
button_spacing = 12;
q = 0;
first_link_yposition = 115;
mask_height = 223.5;
list_height = int(mask_height/button_spacing);
loadVariablesNum ("dup.txt", 0);
n = 1;
while (length(eval("link" add n))>1) {
n = Number(n)+1;
}
total = n-1;
stop ();

//from what i can tell its the while loop that isn't working because before i press play the variable "total" has a value of zero.

here is the code in the movie holding the buttons:
setProperty ("button", _x, -1000);
while (Number(q)<Number(/:total)) {
q = Number(q)+1;
dup = "button" add q;
duplicateMovieClip ("button", dup, q);
setProperty (dup, _y, (q-1)*/:button_spacing);
setProperty (dup, _x, /:indent);
set (dup add ":linkname", eval("/:text" add q));
set (dup add ":link", eval("/:link" add q));
setProperty ("button" add q add "/over", _visible, false);
}
//and this is the code in the button:
on (rollOver) {
setProperty ("over", _visible, true);
}
on (release) {
// get page
setProperty ("../button" add n, _visible, false);
location = eval("link" add n);
getURL ("http:/ /" add location, "_blank");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
setProperty ("../button" add n, _visible, true);
setProperty ("over", _visible, false);
}

//ive been working on this for days. if anybody can help i'd be very happy. thanks.

Press The Button, Load The Movie
That's kind of what I'm looking for. I have menu.swf and in a certain spot I have a movieclip with a button that says "Music?". Basically all I want is, if the user clicks that button, go to a new movieclip to preload slider.swf, which is my sound. I don't know what sort of command I should use to make it switch movie clips and movies.

If someone can and would be kind enough to fix my script i'd be most thankful

Load Two Movies On Same Press Event
I have a button, that when pressed loads a movie - works fine. What I wish to know is if it's possible (and how) to nest or add a function so that another movie loads at the same time. I'm using MX.

The idea is that when the 'good movie' is loaded, another small movie will load beside the button to indicate the active section.

Sample of what I'm currently using to load the 'good movie" is below.

Code:
blackWhite.onPress = function () {
_global.sectionPath = "Section1/";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie(_global.sectionPath + "bw.swf", "container");
container._x = 0 ;
container._y = 60 ;
}
There are actually seven such buttons in the main movie. So, for each one I want to replicate the adding of my external active.swf file into another empty movie clip.

Now, the above code works and pulls up the animation. When I tried to added another function to the button, only the second function worked (i.e., I got the symbol for indicating active state, but not the image gallery I've made).

All help appreciated.

Thanks,
donna

CD-ROM Load Time - Please Read*
I have a flash projector file approx. 100Mb. Don't suggest shrinking it. It is as small as it gets. I burned the projector and an autorun.inf file to a cd. It works but the problem is it takes too long to load off the cd.

The user will be thinking that nothing is happening b/c nothing happens until the cd has loaded. Once the file is loading it runs quickly. The preloader dosen't even have to work very hard because it is all loaded from the cd. I have created director projectors three times this big w/out a stub and the load fairly quick. But this one had to be built in flash.

I have tried a program called "fastsplash" but it doesn't work on all machines.

Please if anyone has a suggestion please, please, please, post it. I need all the help I can get with this one! Thanks!

Can't Load External Swf (have Read Other ..)
Hi to all

i desperately need an urgent help about loading external swf (with AS2 in it) in my main (AS3) swf.
I've already read treads about this issue, but these doesn't seem to work in my case.

I'm completely new to AS3, and the AS2 syntax [loadMovie("movie.swf", "mloader");] doesn't work anymore.

So, i have an empty movie clip (with instance name: mloader_mc) placed into certain movie clip of my flash, and an external swf file named v3_gallery.swf. (which resides in the same folder as the main swf)

The code:

Code:
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("v3_gallery.swf");
var mloader_mc:Loader = new Loader();
mloader_mc.load(mRequest);
addChild(mloader_mc);
doesn't work.

this code (without embeded loader onto stage) doesn't work either.

Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("v3_gallery.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
but is some better (doesn't flicker at least), although the requested swf is not loaded.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Load Numbered Jpgs Into MC - Based On BTN Press

Load Vars Cannot Read Variables In Specific Site
hi forum,
i have experie3nced a weird probblem with the LoadVars command. I have designed a website using loadvars to load text into flash from external txt files.
the main interface has been checked both locally and remotely and works fine. two days ago i had to upload the site to another server and i noticed that although everything else works (images dynamically loaded, xml loaded) the data from the txt files cannot be loaded through loadvars. this is so weird. it works in my pc, it works from another server but it does not from this particular server.
does anyone has experienced this before? is there any particular FTP parameter i have to check? is it a server side problem?

thanks a lot

OnResize / Stage.width Not Read On Initial Load With Firefox
I have just started to develop a website and very quickly realised that Mozilla doesnt seem to read any Stage.width or onResize parameters on initial load of movie. If i manually resize the browser window it will then work but this is no good for me as I need the width to be calculated onLoad thus:-

onClipEvent(load)
{
this._width = Stage.width + origX;
this._x = 0 - origX;
}

or

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale"
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function () {
gradient_mc._width = Stage.width + origX;
gradient_mc._x = 0 - origX;
}
Stage.addListener(myListener);

Looking around online I have found some thread relating to DOCTYPE being XHTML on Mozilla but I do not want to use an old doc type.

Any ideas or feedback on this would be great.

Load Swf, Please Check My Script
I'm designing a flash (mx) based site using loadMovie to display different sections.

Each external swf contains an "enter animation", then a stop frame so the sontent can be viewed, and an "exit animaiton". The navigation buttons exist in the main movie, and external swf's are loaded into "container_mc".

I'm trying to make is so when a navigation button is pressed, the loaded swf will play (showing the exit animation) and THEN the next swf is loaded.

I don't really know what I'm doing (as far as action script goes) but heres what I've come up with:

on (release) {
tellTarget (_root.container_mc) {
play();
ftotal = _root.container_mc._totalframes;
fcurrent = _root.container_mc._currentframe;
if (fcurrent<ftotal) {
play();
} else {
(loadMovie(02.swf, _root.container_mc));
}
}
}

By messing with this, I can get either the movie to play, or the new one to load, but not one then the other.

Am I on the right track? Please help!

Simple Way To Check FLV Load?
Is there a straight-forward way to check if an flv video has loaded into its placeholder? I read the help a bit and found some stuff about netconnections but I'm suffering from severe sleep deprivation and didn't really understand it...

I've got buttons that load new videos into a single holder, just by altering the _contentpath attribute on the fly. Trouble is my videos are different sizes, and I want to position another object relative to the video's height, which of course can't be properly read until it's loaded into place.

All I want is something like myvideo.onload = function() { etc etc

URL Check Without Trying To Load The File Possible?
I have a flash file i use to dynamically load text from a XML file. The same flash file is on almost all the pages of my site... it looks for the XML file in a subdirectory, and if it cant find one there it loads a "default" XML file. It is working fine, but when it cant find the "local" XML file, the browser gives an error then finds the default XML. I was wondering if there is some function i could use that would check for the file instead of trying to load it so it would stop appearing as if there are broken links.
