Begin Movie From A Certain Keyframe...
is it possible to attach a movie clip and automatically have it play from a certain keyframe?
movie.attachMovie("step1");
movie.gotoAndPlay("zoomin");
once the attached movie clip loads there is a keyframe labeled "zoomin" I'd like the movie to start on that keyframe...is this possible?

How To Begin Movie While Other Loads
Here is my solution since my server doesn't support streaming.
I want to have the interface loaded and ready to use while the rest of the movie continues to load in the background
The rest of the movien would consist of the music (4 songs about 8mb)
I tried top make the music into a swf file and import it into the movie but that didn't work either
Anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks

Getting A Movie To Begin Loading Early
I have designed a short 4-frame, simple text, push the button the button to advance to the next frame intro. I would like to get the bulky main movie to start downloading when the small intro movie starts to play. the intro movie is set to be the same size (width and height) as the main movie.
Basically, I would like the viewer to be able to "slowly" read through the 4-frames of text while the main movie loads in. and then if the main movie hasn't loaded byt the time the reader has read the 4-frames a simple preloader will come up.
Any thoughts????

Diff Btwn Blank Keyframe And Keyframe?
Hi all,
I'm a first time Flash user who is currently floundering in her attempt to learn Flash MX. Burning question of the hour: What's the difference between a "blank" keyframe and a keyframe? In which circumstances should I use a blank keyframe? How about a plain ol' keyframe?
Thanks for your help!

[AS3] Determine The Last Keyframe/if A Frame Is A Keyframe
i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not
but it seems theres no simple way of doing this (like mc.lastKeyFrame) so i was wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem
thanks

Call Keyframe In Sub-movie?
I made a Global continue button for a movie player that calls keyframes within a loaded swf file.
It increments +1 on each click to find the next keyframe, but the problem is that if the movie passes a certain section of the swf and I press the continue button it will jump backwards to the next keyframe +1. I hope this makes sense.
If some one could help that would be great. thanks.

Can I Get A Movie To Start On A Diferent Keyframe?
Ok, I have a main page that has a flash movie containing five buttons that point to new pages.
On these new pages are two frames, the top frame being a flash button bar with four buttons...representing the four other pages. The pictures on the buttons are just a movie that is keyframed to rearrange the pictures over the right buttons depending on what page they are on.
Ex. when the viewer clicks the "art" button on the main page the new button bar on a new page has four buttons on it with all the other pages...but if they click the "news" button on the main page I want the new window's button bar to have all the pages except for "news".
the page is http://www.spiffyneato.com but it's only partially finished...I'll try to get enough up there so you can se what I'm trying to explain.
Thanks for any help.

Keyframe Detection Via A Movie Clip
While working in Flash MX, I came across a problem. So I decided to come to the best place for help. I was wondering if you could check to see if Movie clips were on specific frames whether or not it can be done somewhat the same way as this _root.Movieclip==(frame number or label).
If it can be done but not by that way I am still all ears and open to any suggestions. Also just want to say that you people at Flashkit rock, and thanks for all the help.

Target Keyframe Or Onload Movie
I have a movie that I need to do two things:
1. contains a symbol that follows the mouse at all times
2. play a text fade-in/out on roll-over of an invisible button.
This movie needs to be housed in an html page and can not load/reload the page constantly. It should be seemless.
Q. How can this be accomplished?
I've tried jumping to keyframes within the same movie (would work great except it stops the cursor. I've also tried loading a new movie to play the text animation but it knocks out the cursor animation as well. I'm unable to keep the symbol following in both cases!!
Is what I'm trying to do possible? I can send files for both cases if need be. Please help. I'm out of ideas!!

[F8] How To Load Movie To Specific Keyframe?
Hey there, good people of the Flash-world!
I need some help with finding the right actionscript... (I'm trying the newbies-section as well)
Basically, I have assigned a LoadMovie, level 0 -action to a button in my swf. However I want the new .swf to start at frame 27, not 0. I feel that there must be a simple way of doing this?
I have tried:
on(Press){
LoadMovieNum("people.swf",0)
_level0.gotoAndPlay(27)
}
But it doesn't work.
I've been searching and searching, but maybe anyone of you brilliant people have a tip for me? It would be much appreciated!

Load Movie From KeyFrame Action
Is it possible to LOAD a MOVIE or an external .fla file (located in the same folder) that is triggered from a key frame action.
What I have seen in the past and in tutorials is a Flash file that is loading a movie from a Button Hit.
What I want to do is to have my Flash start playing and loading objects like a normal flash file, and when the timeline gets to a keyframe in the future (lets say keyframe 200) it will trigger a action opening a Movie with a preloader in the beginning of that new MOVIE, that is a .fla file saved in the same ftp'd folder.
Is this possible or does it have to happen from a button hit?

I'm As New As Possible Where Should I Begin?
I just got Flash from a cousin's fiancee, and I'm fascinated in making Flash movies for Newgrounds in three categories: Traditional animation, Animutation, and video game sprite-based. But I haven't a clue on how to do this, so I need some help. Let me ask some questions.
-What website has the best tutorials for the very basics, or should I use the software's?
-How do you make preloaders?
-How do you insert and manipulate pictures?(For Animatutations and game sprites)
-How do you insert MP3 music, and play only certain segments of it?
Yatta, yatta, yatta....Obviously, I have no idea how to use Flash, but I really want to! What should I do to start?

Where To Even Begin
Hey everybody, this is my first post. I skimmed some of the other posts and couldn't find an answer so forgive me if it's out there and I missed it.
So here's the deal.
I'm working for a relative's company as the graphic designer and have been doing pretty well for about a half a year now. I have tons of experience in photoshop and some in illustrator. I know basic HTML, light CSS, good C++ and Maya but the one program I have absolutely no experience with is Flash. My workstation has Flash CS3 but even though adobe put it out I feel like I am somehow held back due to complete unfamiliarity. Now my boss decided he wants the entire page and menus re-done in flash and he has "faith I'll figure it out somehow."
Most of the tutorials I find are concerned with animation, I can make any static image I want or need from photoshop or illustrator and import it. I am not going to be dealing with actual movie animation at all. I assume what I need to learn is actionscript but I have no idea where to begin. All of the "Let's get oriented with flash" tutorials I keep finding are getting a ball to move or change colors/shape in a movie file. Once again not at all what I need.
Long and short of it I need to get good at one specific function of flash really fast. So where do I begin? I'll pay for a manual, I'll spend the time learning relevant tutorials, I just have no idea where to look.
Any guidance would be awesome, thank you so much.
Oh yeah and I probably could get away with just making a contextual banner/menu where the banner changes with roll-overs to the menu. I'm pretty sure that's the gimmick he wants.

[F8] Where To Begin? HELP
I'm building myself a portfolio site, and I have a particular bug, or thorn in my side, that I've not been able to fix all afternoon. My patience is waning and my bird is tired of hearing me curse.
I've attached the zipped file.
When you open it up and get to the Library, go to:
Body Sections>
body sections: electronic services>
es-powerpointBody_mc
then scroll the timeline all the way to the right (frame 64).
double click on the picture next where it says SAMPLE
double click on it again,
and you'll get to where I'm having the problem. aka: es-ppt.Sample1_mc.
I have some action script in frame 1 that seems to be conflicting with the rest of the timeline. In the first part of the timeline, the AS is intended to change the rollover and rollout of the thumbnail, which it does beautifully.
But later in that timeline, I have the onRelease function moving it to a frame where a sample of my work rolls in from the right. That works fine. But I want to have a "CLOSE" button there to close it back up and return to that default state, and it starts freaking out.
Complicated? Yooooou betcha.
So, if you have any suggestions on not only how to fix this bug, my how to simplify this mess down...you're my new best friend.
THANK YOU in advance.

I Don't Even Know Where To Begin
I'm working on a flash based portfolio. I know almost exactly what i want, but i havent a clue how to go about it. in fact, im so lost i dont really even know what to google for. ive tried googling the best phrases i could think of, but none of them seem to find much for me. here is a mockup of what i want.
ive got the links below just fine. what i want is this: when you click a left or right image, it tilts upright along its nice curved journy to front and center. at the same time, the front image will move over to the apropriate slot. also a new image will slide into the empty slot that is created. i guess that means 4 images total will be visible during an image switch.
just as much as i am confused about making the images move around, i am also confused how to make them change their perspective based on where they are in the page. it would also be cool if i wouldnt have to put the paper background behind every image within photoshop, but have it load up dynamicaly in flash.
anyone got any recomendations to tutorials, strings to google, insane asylums?

Amazingly the template doesnt come with any clues about how to do this, so I guess I'll haveto figure it out... but thats where you guys come in- I dont know what to look up. I know I need to write action script at some point to make the arrow into an operational button, but it doesnt mirror anything one would use in other coding languages.. where do I find action script for "move these pictures all one place to the left" ?

How To Begin With AS3?
Ok, I'm a beginner with all these flash coding. I know how to do simple stuff with AC2 like where to put the codes, only certain does work for buttons and all that.
Now with AC3, even doing simple stuff, like putting actions on buttons, is different :O
Are there any tutorials that start you up with AC3? I've been looking how to begin with AC3 but all the tutorials are more like for advanced users, right? (perhaps i'm just bad at inding it). I don't even know what the codes in the AC3 Tip of the Day thread do! :O
So, if someone can push me to the right direction, it'll be helpful
PS - What's with all these packages? It seems now with AC3, I have to put the codes on a seperate file (.as) rather than the flash file (.fla) :O

Best Way To Begin
I have recently discovered the awesomeness of flash animation and would like to expand into scripting. This is the best site I have found as there are actual explanations of the code rather than just script to copy and paste. However I have zero scripting background aside from rpgmaker2000 and a little html. So basically I know nothing.
My question is where to begin. I have been working through tutorials which help but I don't understand any of the language. The specific definitions of objects, classes, constructors ect... are proofing to be very difficult to understand. Should I learn another language first, start with 2.0, or just keep trudging through until the fog clears? Do you recommend any books or websites for the ultra beginner?
I picked up animation very quickly and am confident that I can learn to script as well I just need the keys to understand what is actually going on.
thanks for your help
