Flash :: Buttons Jump To Correct Frame, And Then Another Frame

Slideshow Control - How Delay Frame Or Jump To The Correct One? (with Atachment)
Hi!

I have a slideshow (as the one in the image), in wich I need to control trough 4 buttons: "back", "pause", "play", and "forward".

The problem is that I need a delay in each frame (and I do not know script for that) or, as it is in image, give 50 frames long for each image to appear.

How can I control with the "back" and "forward" buttons the slideshow, so that, when I click them, the animation jump to the respective frame?

If theres a simple way trough scripting, that permits me to keep 1 frame for each image, and introduce delay on it, please, I'm all ears.

Thanks for the time

Firstly thanks for everyones help on these forum I have been able to achcieve loads considering Im a complete noob.

I have made a spot the differece game as you may have seen in another post. I have all the invisble buttons on one frame. When the button is pressed it reveals a correct answer, that button also then becomes inactive so you can not turn the answer off.

someone suggested the below but I'm sure how it works

Create a root variable, _root.buttons_pressed = 0;
Then, in each button onDown actionscript, _root.buttons_pressed++;
Finally, you'll want to reset the counter when you enter the new frame,
again setting _root.buttons_pressed = 0;

Thanks in advance.

Buttons Jump To Next Frame On 2nd Press
I have a very simple flash site set up in as2. The buttons are done using instance names in the actions layer. However, I am finding that if you press them a second time, they'll jump to the next main frame (which isn't the frame they are set to go to). Any ideas on why they are doing that? Do I need more stop actions or something? (I am not that great at actionscript but am trying to do this properly, without putting the code on the buttons).

I have attached my button code. Each main keyframe has a stop action in it.

Here's my site link:

How To Jump From Frame To Frame Without Changing Part Of The Movie
I didn't know how to title this little question/problem I have but I'll try to explain it as best I can. I'm creating a movie in Flash for my portfolio page by using buttons to navigate from frame to frame. The movie has three thumb pictures at the bottom (each one is a button), a Main View, where you can see the thumb pictures bigger, and two arrows below the thumb pics to move to the next three thumb pictures. Since I'm doing this in just one scene with a bunch of layers, I'm having a little predicament. When the user cicks on the arrow to move the thumb pictures, I would like the Main View to remain the same. For example, if the user clicks on thumb 1, the Main View changes to Picture 1. Then the user clicks on the next arrow to view the next three thumbs. The Main View should remain as Picture 1, and the only thing that should change are the three thumb pictures at the bottom. I'm attaching an example of what I'm trying to say for you to view it better. If you have any suggestions on how I can do this, I will appreciate it greatly.

THANKX!!

[F8] GotoAndStop Does Not Go To Correct Frame, According To Frame Label
I'm having trouble getting gotoAndStop to go to the correct frame. I've labeled frame 5 as "FIRST", frame 10 as "SECOND", and frame 15 as "THIRD".

Then I put the following code on frame 1, which I labeled "HOME", if it matters.

//var myFrame:String = "FIRST";
var myFrame:String = "SECOND";
//var myFrame:String = "THIRD";

trace(myFrame);
this.gotoAndStop(myFrame);
trace(this._currentframe);
stop();Letting myFrame = "SECOND" sends the playhead to frame 9, but it should be 10. When myFrame = "THIRD", the playhead stays at frame 1, while it should go to 15. Only "FIRST" goes to its correct frame, 5. Note that if I change the frame that is labeled "SECOND" from frame 10 to frame 9, then the playhead goes to frame 8.

I thought that this would be a really simple thing to do, but I'm getting quirky results.

Everything is on the root level and there are no movieclips or scenes involved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys.

Jump From Frame 2 To Frame 1 In My Pingpong Game
Hi.
My first (of many i guess) post here :-)
I have made a small pingpong game. It have 2 frames. The intro game on frame 1, and the game itself on frame 2.
When the player or the computer scores 3 points, i want the game to go back to the intro screen at frame 1.

Here is the code i wanna use for that
if (this._x>500)
{
this._x = 200;
this._y = 200;
_root.yspeed = 5-random(10);
_root.xspeed = 5;
_root.ballSpeed = 0;
_root.playDeadSound.start(0,1);
_root.player1Score += 1;
start = getTimer();
while (start+2000>now)
{
now = getTimer();
}
if (_root.player1Score > 2)
{
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
But the games just keeps playing. It dosent go back to frame 1. I have tryed setting in a trace("test") to see if i captured the event. And i do. I also put a trace in my frame 1. That one only gets written when the games start up. Not when i make the gotoAndStop(1)
In frame i have all my parameter inits, and a stop() command. Anyone know what im doing wrong ?

Here is the code, if anyone wanna see it:

GotoAndStop(frame);? ... Won't Go To Correct Frame
i have a small flash website. each page is 10 frames apart on the timeline. the menu buttons(movieclips) are on a "global" layer spanning across the entire document. when i use the following code (placed on a global layer) for each instance of the movieclip it moves to the right frame but the movieclip animation does not play (basically the button does not spin):

ABOUT.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(10);

}

SERVICES.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(20);

}

NEWS.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(30);

}

CONTACT.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop(40);

}

when i try to use (onMouseDown), the movieclip animation plays but it does not move to the correct frame... it moves to frame 10 no matter which movieclip you press and then its stuck there...

here's a snapshot of my flash gui to get a better idea of my project:

Script For Control Buttons To "jump To And Back" The Previous Or Next Labelled Frame
Urgent Request please !!
I have created a movie within a main movie that has five sections. Each section is flagged with a labelled frame at the beginning. I want the user to be able to use the "step back and step forward " control buttons to move the playhead to the last played or next labelled frame.

I believe this is possible with the use of action scripting in Flash 5.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

On Frame X Of MC1, Jump + ONE FRAME On MC2
Hi everyone,
I would be very thankful if any of you would tell me how to do the following in Flash:

I've got two movie clips with few frames.

The first MovieClip starts playing immediately and loops.
The second movie clip has stop (); commands on every frame.
What I want to happen, is that every time the first movie clip reaches a particular frame (example: frame 6), the second movie goes on its next frame!

You can compare this to how a clock works in practice! Every time the minute clock hand reaches 12, the hour clock hand moves +1 hour.

Thank you very much,
e.

Goto Not Going To Correct Frame
My movie was working perfectly until I added a preloader to the visionaries page. Now, when you click on the green buttons on the side menu, it goes to the wrong place. Only two buttons are active, the logo development button, and the website button. The logo button goes to the website page instead of the logo page, and the website page goes to a different page depending on where you hit the button. I'm assuming something is wrong with the levels, but I used _root and tried _level0 and I'm not sure where the bug is. Please help!

Jump To Frame
I have a movie clip on a main stage of a movie that has about 50 frames. Now within this clip, let's say its on frame 5 of the main movie, I'd like to have a button that when this button is released the control will take me to a specified frame within the main movie.

Isn't this something simple to do?

Many thanks in advance!

Jump To A Frame

How Do I Jump To A Particular Frame From One Swf To Another (was: Hi)
how do i jump to the particular frame from one swf to the other swf

Jump To Frame...
I have 3 buttons on my site. Each one jumps to a frame with a movie clip in it. That part works. My problem is: once the button has already jumped to the right frame, how do you deactivate that button so that when clicked again (once it's already at it destination frame) it shouldn't jump to another frame or leave the screen blank... funny things are happening when i click the button twice... thanks in advance.

GetURL Not Opening In Correct Frame...
I give, Uncle, you da man... Get the picture here?

I am frustrated beyond all reasoning and would love to hear some advice for what I am trying to do. Basically, I made a nav bar with buttons and what not in Flash and am trying to import it in frontpage. I get it in FP inside a cell and also tried frames, but things aren't working.

How do you write it in Flash to open a page in a new frame without reseting the animation? I don't know how to explain myself correctly, but basically, if someone out there knows how to use flash and FP together I really could use some of your advice. I want my Flash animation to never be reloaded, except if it's part of my actionscripting. I don't want anything else reseting it or making it go back to ground zero. How would you do that in FP?

Please, if this makes sense to you offer your ideas, and if not, please tell me what you think I am trying to do so I can better clarify.

Thanks,
ZogDog

Button Not Leading To Correct Frame
I am making a game, and there is a point where if you hit a spike, it directs to frame three. I made a button, then made the button a movie clip. In the movie clip, the spike moves back and forth. Then on the button, I added

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay (3)
}

So the movement works fine, the spike goes back and forth. But when you hit the spike, it goes to frame three of the movie clip timeline, not the entire movie timeline. Is there any way to get around this?

Redirect A Correct _dropTarget To New Frame
Hi,

I'm trying - and failing to get a movie to advance to a new frame when one movie is correctly dragged over another movie.

The enclosed code roughly allows me to drag/drop/report drop location/ return to starting point if not dropped over an element....and thats about it.

The last thing I'd like it to do is to acknowledge the right answer by moving to a new frame. Any ideas?

Code follows....

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
xorigin = _root._xmouse;
yorigin = _root._ymouse;
if (this.hitTest (_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.startDrag();
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
_root.drop = _droptarget; // sends the address of whatevers under the box to the text box (created as a dynamic text box)
this.stopDrag();
// this code returns the dragged object to the place it started if the object listed - apple, is not the right answer
if (_root.drop == "/apple") {
if (_root._xmouse > _root._X) {
this._x = xorigin;
this._y = yorigin;
}
} else {
this._x = eval (_root.drop)._x; //coverts string stored in droptarget to an object reference
this._y = eval (_root.drop)._y; //coverts string stored in droptarget to an object reference

// the following code is where I'm looking for inspiration - when droptarget = /Lamb goto new frame(Yes) - it doesn't.

if (_root.drop == "/Lamb") {
root.lamb.gotoandstop("Yes");
}

}
}

Problem Going To The Correct Frame W/ 2 Scenes
I have two scenes, 'Preloader' and 'Scene 1'
The preloader works fine. It is when I want to go to a frame using gotoAndPlay that the problem exists. The preloader is only 2 frames long.
The frame I want to goto is frame 40 in 'Scene 1'
All the buttons will do this, but for this examples use he "Resume" button on the swf files.

if I use _root.gotoAndPlay(40) it will go to 2 frames prior to the one I want. I.e. Frame 38 in Scene 1 http://www.blackonyx.net/ex/3.swf

if I use _root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 40) It does nothing as in this: http://www.blackonyx.net/ex/1.swf

if I use _root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 42) it does nothing as well.
if I use gotoAndPlay(40) it does nothing
if I use gotoAndPlay(42) it does nothing

if I give the frame a label and use that label such as _root.gotoAndPlay("Resume") it will have the same behavior as _root.gotoAndPlay(40), however on the second click it will go to the correct frame. As in here: http://www.blackonyx.net/ex/2.swf Click "resume" once and it will go to the contact info, click it again it will go to the correct frame. Click it a third time and it will go back to the incorrect frame.

if I use _root.gotoAndPlay(42) it works and goes to frame 40, but if that button is clicked a second time it will go to 2 frames after the frame I want. Here http://www.blackonyx.net/ Click Resume once it goes where I want. Click it again and it goes two frames ahead and starts to play, which isn't what I want it to do.

Any ideas?

If you want to take at the fla file it is here: http://www.blackonyx.net/ex/Site.fla (save as)

Help Please - Jump From One MC To Specific Frame Of Another.
Hi!
I need to be able to direct a viewer from a button in one Movie Clip to a specific frame of another MC loaded at a seperate URL (within the same domain)....

Nothing I can find seems to allow this - although there is the suggestion of passing variables from one to the other to determine which frame to play from???

Can anyone please offer the code or suggest where to look for the solution..

Oh yes, and it has to be done in Flash 4....

Many thank in advance

Random Frame Jump
I've created an animated screensaver and I need to make the elements within the score play randomly. How can I make the movie jump from one frame to a random one of six specified start points?

Would an alternative be to put all the movie clips on one frame and trigger each one off randomly?

Thanks for your help

Random Frame Jump To
hi there

i've got 11frames on the main timeline, each frame has a stop command and a movie attached to it (*each move has a bit of code that jumps back to the main timeline, frame one).

what i want to do is have on frame one on the main timeline, a random bit of code that jumps from frame one to any of the next ten frames.

at present i am using this bit of code

gotoAndPlay (random (10));

i'm not sure what it does exactly, but it seems to work - what i need is to make sure that if this code has randomly picked 6, then on a return to frame one, it doesn't pick 6 again but instead picks another random number.. .

hope this makes sense.... .

many thanks

How To Jump To A Frame In A Movie?
Hello,

I'm a newbie to flash (just started my first site 2 days ago), so this is probably a really dumb question, but I'm hung up on it, so here goes . . .

I purchased a template to get me started. In Scene 1 of the template, there are the menu buttons which, when clicked, gotoAndPlay a page turning effect that begins in frame 221 of Scene 1. After the page turns, the movie jumps to a specific frame in a movie clip called "SubPages". Here is the code that activates this:

on (release) {
_root.page = 4;
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndPlay(221);
}
}

The problem I am having is that I have added additional pages in my movie clip "SubPages" that I need to add to the menu in Scene 1. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.

Do I need to give the new frames a page name in the "SubPages" movie clip? How do I do this? Or am I way off track?

I would appreciate any advice! Thank you.

Frame Jump Script Help...
hi, i have a roll-over of a door opening and closing. it's a motion tween that takes 20 frames to open and 20 frames to close. if you roll-over the door it begins to open, but if you roll out before it closes it jumps to the door fully open and begins to close. i want to make it better by telling the movie to jump to frame 39 frame but subtract the number of the frame the moive is currently on, so that the door position is in the same place.

I've tried a few things but I am such the novice, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jump To A Button Frame?
Can you stop on the over state on a button? How?

Jump To A Random Frame.
Ok, here's the scenario.

There are 4 animated sequences. Each sequence begins at frame: 1, 18, 54, and 78.

I want to play these animated sequences randomly, so I'm looking for an actonscript that I can put at the end of each sequence to tell it to "GoTo" 1, 18, 54, or 78, randomly.
Another idea is to jump to a random scene, but I'm not sure what the action script is for that either.
I've looked through slide show tutorials, and actionscripting tutorials and I haven't had any luck. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
