Flash :: Two MCs To Play On One Click?

[MX04] Click A Button Once To Play, Then Again To Play In Reverse
Alright, so I've got this MC that is set up to play 2 other Movie clips upon being clicked, and what I would like to have happen is; upon clicking this MC again, these 2 other movie clips will being playing in reverse, and if clicked again will play forward, and so on ad infinitum.

I've attempted to do this by having this code in the first frame of the "button" MC, in a separate actions layer.

PHP Code:

stop();

this.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    this._parent.wing1.play();
    this._parent.wing2.play();
};

And this code on the second frame.

PHP Code:

stop();

this.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndPlay(1);
    this._parent.wing1.prevFrame();
    this._parent.wing2.prevFrame();
};

As of right now, this will simply play the two movie clips upon clicking, stop them and reverse them a single frame, when clicked a second time, then begin playing them again from that point if clicked a third time.

Once the two MCs finish reach their final frames, the button does nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

How do I make the movie not to start playing until I click the play button?

Any questions let me know and thank you in advance for your help.

On Click, Play AVI
I am creating a Flash exe to play on a CD. I've got a button created that I'd like to play an AVI - externally. So when someone clicks on the button, Windows Media Player launches and plays the video. How do I set up the action on the Mouse Event? Thanks in advance.

Click To Play?
I originally posted this in the Flash 8 forum, but it seems more appropriate here.

I'm building a flash game and I have my "click to play again" movie clip fade in at the end using its alpha channel. This "click to play" movie clip is embedded within another movie clip, entitled "type". "type" is in the main movie clip. Also in the main movie clip is the code:

type.play_again.onRelease = function()
{
type.play_again._visible = false;
carpet_type._visible = false;
ebay_type._visible = false;
gershman_type._visible = false;
new_mom_type._visible = false;
pez_type._visible = false;
logo_type._visible = false;

titleScreen._visible = false;

setup();
}

This should make all of the game elements invisible again. And then run setup() to start the game once again. This identical code works when it is run the first time around to start the game.

Unfortunately, the "play_again" movie clip appears to be unclickable. I'm thoroughly frustrated and cannot figure out what the problem is. I would appreciate any and all help. Thanks.

Click A Button - Play An MC - How?
I have a button which I want to play a movieclip when clicked. However, I dont want to use a goto action, but instead play the specified MC on the same frame of the main timeline.

Anyone???? Im sure its V Easy

Click, Then Jump, But First Play...help
I'm a bit stuck on something here.
Scenario: I've got 2 scenes; Scene 1 has 10 icons on it, each leading to different frame labels in Scene 2.

What I want to have happen: Click on any of the 10 icons in scene 1, FINISH playing the rest of scene 1 (which is a transition type animation between the 2 scenes), and when that's done, THEN jump to frame 30 in scene 2. I can do one OR the other, not both.

The action is the same for all 10 icons, but each icon naturally leads to a different frame (or label) on scene2.

I'm thinking it would have to be some kind of loop to delay the gotoandplay action long enough for the rest of scene 1 to finish. Otherwise I'm stuck creating 10 transition animations for each icon.

Thanks

Play Backwards On Btn Click
-=Explanation=-

The site I am making is for my church. At first there's a little cross, then it expands to where the center of it fills the screen. There are links on the four sides of it. You click a link and the cross slides to one of the 4 sides. I need a back button to slide it back the same way it came, it would make it needlessly complicated to have a back animation for each of the 4 sides. Is it possible to have the timeline play backwards for like 20 frames then stop? How? plz!

Play Movieclip Where You Click
Hi,

Flash 5.

I have an MC of two frames only which is required to play in the position where the mouse is clicked.
I know how to use the x, y, coords but not how to trigger the clip in the given position.
Can anyone help?

AJJA17

P.S.
I recently found a thread on this site and wrote it down so I could come back to it later. However, when I type in the title "playing a mc wherever you click" (that is how it is written) the search engine rejects it because a word is less than three letters. I have scoured the site but cannot find it again.

Play Movieclip On Click
How do you make it so that by clicking on a movieclip or button it activates a short animation? For example, during a cartoon you click on an object and something moves across the screen and no matter how many times you click, it always does that. Also, how would you make it for the animation to be terminated on another click? Thank You

One Click... Two Movies Play?
Here's a dumb one:

When you roll over my button, the word "glows in" .. when you roll out, it "glows out"

on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("glow");
}
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("glowOff");

------

I also want some little stars to come flying out. But not on the same timeline as my "glow" ....

Question: Can the same rollover action play two little movies at once?

Click To Play Rather Than Autoplay
Hi!
I've just downloaded Flash CS3 and I love how they will provide you with a player automatically when you import a video. I've exported it into Dreamweaver and my problem is even though I have autoplay and loop unchecked it still plays automatically when it loads. I'd like it to just show the first frame until the user presses the play button. Can anyone help me?

Right Click > Play .. Goes To Next Frame?
I have a 3-frame flash script. The first page contains the actionscript. It then either does gotoAndStop for frame 2 or 3 depending on some settings.

However, if it sends me to frame 2 and I right click and choose "play", it goes to frame 3. I am 100% new to flash and understand that different "pages" or "screens" are stored in different keyframes (or do I make them just normal frames?). I will have some pages require a login, and if my users can just click play a few times to bypass it... well.. I need to fix that loophole.

I have stop(); at the top of each frame. I'm sure this is simple?

How To Click And Play FLV From A List?
Sorry for being new to AS3.0, i have a list of like 3 flv to choose from and play on the stage once clicked. My idea was to click on one flv link and i will goto frame 2, click on another one and i will goto frame3.
I can do it in AS 2.0 but not in AS 3.0...heres my script

function frame2(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.gotoAndStop(2);}

this.movie02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fra me2);

function frame3(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
this.movie03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fra me3);

Click And Play Animation
Ok so this isn't like most threads with a title like this, cuz I have looked around a bit and I haven't found anything relevant to my problem.

I'm just getting started in flash. I'm using actions script 2.0. I know it's outdated at this point, but I'm creating Wii games as part of my computer science class, now here's where the trouble comes in.

Currently I'm working on a basic FPS like described in the Wii flash guide. That's not the important part...

Completeing this game is no problem at all, but I now want to be able to take this a bit further by adding in an actual shooting animation whenever the mouse is clicked. At this point all that happens in that when an enemy is clicked it will explode. I want to create a separate animation (like a laser fireing) when the mouse is clicked regarless of position.

I'll probably take this even further later, but I'll be content with this for now.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Many thanks in advance.

Click To Play Video
I'm trying to play an eternal .FLV file on a web page through .swf -- all is fine -- but can somebody point me in the right direction as to how I can make it appear without automatically playing and have it say "Click here to play" or something like how YouTube, etc have?

Thanks in advance.

Click To Play Flash

Right Click & Goto And Play -pleeeeeze Help
Hi there

Previously i got this code to do rightclick action:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(2)) {
trace("right mouseclick captured!");
doMyFunction();
}
}
from DavedT - thanks Daved

but everything works with the "trace" but if i try to just move to a new frame, I get the movies right click dropdown active with zoom in - play - rewind etc.

How do i get the movie not to show this but rather just go to the next frame.

I have tried

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(2)) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}

but then i end up with the rightclick menu and no movement to the next frame.

Is this why i have to take the focus off the movie and how do you focus a movie?

thanks for any help in advance.

Play Movie On Mouse Click
hi people,

I am working on my final year university project and i need some help. I have got a sliding menu, which is opened using a little tab at the bottom of the screen, but to close it I want the user to simply click away, anywhere on the screen, and the menu will slide back and out of view (apart from the small tab which is always visible). So basically i need to play a movie clip by clicking the mouse anywhere on the screen - is this possible?

I have tried onClipEvent(mouseDown) and that doesnt work because that actionscript has to be assigned to the tab (a movie clip) and i want it to effectively be assigned to anywhere on the screen.

I hope this makes sense and i hope someone can help me.

Cheers,

Spag

[CS3] Click JPG, Play Hidden SWF Sound - HOW?
Hello. I've Googled this but was only able to come up with tutorials for really old versions of Flash, and some of the things mentioned in the tutorial don't match up with CS3.

Anyway, all I want to do is have a user click a JPG or transparent PNG file and play a sound. The easiest way to do this and ensure browser compatibility is to do it via Flash and javascript. I would like to have a way to embed multiple sounds in the same SWF file, so depending which image the user clicks it plays a different sound. Can this be done? I know Yahoo does something like this on their web site. If you click the "!" mark on Yahoo.com the guy yodels. That's what I would like to accomplish.

Does anyone know of a step by step tutorial for Flash CS3 that covers this? I'm a total noob with Flash and don't even know where to begin. Thanks very much for your help.

[CS3] Click Still Frame To Play Video

Stopping The Play On Click Default
I've been workin on a file that uses 4 nav buttons each that onrelease -> gotoandplay a frame with content on it. When the frame is loaded and finishes playing, I've designated a stop action that keeps the file from continuing until the user has clicked another nav button - enabling the next gotoandplay to whatever frame it's corresponding content is.

The problem I'm having is when a user clicks anywhere in the clip - not on the nav buttons - it automatically begins playing again - and continues to until it reaches the next frame with a stop action in it.

Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks in advance,
- Will
