[FMX] Loaded Movie Doesn't Play On Initial Button Press
Hi folks, I'm at a loss as to what could be causing a problem that we're having with our site.

I'll give you some background. I've got the portfolio section of our website saved out as a separate swf file which is loaded into a containing movieclip. Now for some reason the portfolio.swf (none of the other sections exhibit this behavior) does not load when you initially click the portfolio link.

However, if you click on one of the other sections after clicking portfolio (let's say contact), then click on portfolio again everything works just fine. My thinking was that the portfolio section simply wasn't able to load in time to display the content. So I tried adding a preloader in a new scene at the beginning of the file, but the same bug continues, except now I can see a quick flash of the preloader before it stops.

Next I thought it may be a stray stop(); command somewhere. I commented out what I thought were the possible culprits, but to no avail. The bug continues.

Once you've visited the site, this problem goes away, and it doesn't occur when I check the site locally. Needless to say, it looks really bad for our company when our portfolio section doesn't load properly.

You can check it out for yourself at www.octagoncreative.com. Just click on the portfolio link. When it doesn't load, click one of the other sections then click back to portfolio. Everything will load fine.

Movie Won't Play Until I Press Menu-play
I hope one of you understands what I mean,

I made a movie with dynamicly created buttons and images.

The problem with this movie is that it doesn't shows anyting when I export it. The only way to make it show everything correctly is to hit the right mousebutton and press play in the menu.

Know I want to know if there's a way I can do this in flash.

My movie contains two frames and a stop statment at the end.

How To I Make It Play A Sound On Button Press?
Hi, basically I want it so that when I press the ctrl button it will play a short sound, how do I do this?

I have the sound file (laserSound)

(Basically in context I am trying to follow a tutorial to make a game and ctrl makes the laser gun fire, and I would like to attach a sound to this action)

Press A Button To Play An Animation In Another Scene
okay, i'll try my best to explain my situation.

I have a button in my main scene. I want to be able to press it and have it rock back and forth (for reference, it's a picture of a guitar).

I have made the animation for the rocking back and forth in a second scene. This might be the wrong way of doing it, if it is please let me know.

So what I want to know is, is this the correct code?

I have this:

stop();

guitar1_btn.onPress = function() {
//gotoAndPlay(1);
trace("guitar pressed");
}

It works, but I think once I start adding other scenes it's going to not work (or I'm missing some code that tells it which scene to refer to).

Basically what I'm asking for is the correct code. First things first, but I would also please like to know how to make this animation loop so that when I click on the button it goes to frame 1 and plays, and when it reaches the last frame of that animation (which would be frame 6), make it go back and do it again, over and over, until it is re-clicked.

that should be all for now, thanks a lot in advance

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.

Loading A Movie On Button Press
I'm not really too sure how to go about this. I imported an avi file and flash turned it into an flv file and made an FLVPlayback symbol and stuff and now I want to be able to load up and play that movie on a button press but the code that I have doesn't work. I don't even particularly think it's right.

Code:
stop();

function showMovie(linkageId, xpos, ypos) {
var linkageId :String;
var xpos:Number;
var ypos:Number;
var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc._x = xpos;
mc._y = ypos;
mc.attachMovie(linkageId,dodge,this.getNextHighestDepth());
}

btn1.onPress = function(){
trace("gotem");
showMovie("FLVPlayback",0,0);
};

Loading Movie On Button Press
my problem is that i have a button and when pressed i want a movie clip to play, however the moive clip is not on the root stage and i'm having problems find the right string to point it to the clip.

this is what i have so far:
programOne.onPress = function() {
_root.movie.chapters.gotoAndPlay(2);
program = 1;
trace("you hit button 1");
trace("Selected Program = "+program);
};

programOne is the button, and chapters is the movie, which sits inside a layer called movie on the root.

-Thanks in advance for any help you can give

Fade Out Movie Clip On Button Press?
Hey people-

I'm making a site with windows that I could like to fade out when the user preeses a button within the same movie clip as the window itself. I've tried to make it go to a part in the movie clip that has an alpha = 0 tween but no luck. Maybe actionscript is the answer? The movie clip name is "about".

Thanks!

[F8] Playing A Movie Clip On A Button Press
Hello, I am having difficulties with getting a movieclip to play when I press a button. I want to make a movieclip go to and play a certain frame when I press a button, but when I press it, it just goes to the frame and stops. I understand why it doesn't work. Because since the button is still down, it keeps going to the same frame. What I want to have it do is go to that frame and play it when I press the button, and have it stop when i release it. Any suggestions?

By the way, this is my code:
code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
gotoAndPlay("down")
}
}

Movie Clip Flickering On Button Press......
aight so here's the deal... on my main time line i got a movie clip with the instance name of "textbox" (disregard quotes of course). I put a stop action on the first frame of the movie clip and the last frame so it doesn't show up during the normal playing of the main timeline.

on a button i have the following action:

on (release) {
_root.textbox.play();
}

aight.... so the first time i press the button the the movie clip plays fine.... but if i press the same button again, the movie clip will just flicker.. like it resets itself, so then the next time i press the same button, the movie clip plays fine again.... and so on and so forth.

Can anyone tell me why it does that little flicker???

Reverse Movie Clip On Button Press?
The site is www.amberbutler.com/index2.html.

Notice that when you click a link, the current content frame dissapears and the next one animates in.

I want the current content frame to animate out and then the next one animate in.

I can't find a tutorial anywhere and I've tried everything I can think of, even naming variables to call a series of complex MCs from the _root. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Key Press "Enter" To Continue To Play Movie?
Hi all,

If my movie is playing and comes to a frame with a "stop" command, how can I continue playing the movie after the pause just by pressing the "Enter" key?

It's just running off of the main timeline, with no movie clips inserted.

Can you tell me how to resume playing the movie by simply pressing the "Enter" key?

Thanks!

Stop Animated Movie Clip On Button Press
Hi

I have two arrows that control an animated movie clip that has words scrolling vertically. When you click on one arrow it plays the movieclip forward, and when you click on the other arrow it plays the movieclip backward. I want you to have to keep clicking on the forward arrow to have it continue animating through the different words. I've place stop actions at the points I want the movieclip to stop animating but when you click the forward or backword button it never stops and just plays through the whole thing. Here is my FLA: http://digitalarts.bgsu.edu/portfolios/jimmel/help.fla

Loading External Swf Into Movie Clip On Button Press
Im just making the switch to AS3 and i'm having some major problems loading in external swfs. In AS2 it was easy but from what i've found i'm just not understanding how it works in AS3. I have a movie clip that has my navigation in it that would call the external swfs for each section of the site, it also contains the backgound design for the site. I have my main movie set up for full browser for positioning. and i want to be able to position where my external swfs are loaded as well.

Any help would be much appreciated, i've been looking and trying to figure this out for a few days now.

thanks

Add A Movieclip On Button Press, Remove On Another Button Press...
Sounds a little confusing maybe, but the idea is rather simple... I'm trying to figure out a way to have a + and a - button. When a user hits the + button, a movieclip appears. If they hit it again, another duplicate movieclip appears next to the first, etc... basically adding movieclips along the x-plane. Now, when the user hits the - button, the movieclip on the furthest right-hand side is removed, when hit again the next movieclip furthest on the right-hand side is removed, etc until there are no more movieclips.

It's basically an add and subtract movieclip function but I have no idea how to set this up. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

Button Press + Key Press Together In Perfect Harmony?
Well, i have been trying now for a while to get my buttons to display the corresponding number in a text box. I have achieved it so that if you click on the button with the mouse cursor it will happen. I can also do this for a keypress, but sadly they will not work as an either/or option. What actually happens is that the keypress is disabled until the mouse has activated the on release.
Here is the code:

on (release){
if (password == "") {
password = "1";
} else {
password += "1";
}
}
on(keyPress "1"){
if (password == "") {
password = "1";
} else {
password += "1";
}
}

Any suggestions will be greatly welcomed.
Thanks

Button Actionscripts
I really suck at actionscripts, especially in Flash. I'm not very good in the program and I have made this website which uses different scenes for different pages. You can surf throught the scenes with a menu. Everything is ready but the problem is that I have to connect the buttons to the scenes. Which actionscript do I need?

And do I have to use a 'stop' in every scene?

Thanks in advance

How To Tell The Mc To Play If I Press?
hi guys!,
i have this code on a mc on stage:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.activate == 1) {
var xDifference = _root._xmouse-this._x-30;
var xAmountToMove = xDifference/_root.speed;
this._x += xAmountToMove;
}
if (this._x<=0.5) {
this._x = 0.5;
this.stop();
}
if (this._x>=640.0) {
this._x = 640.0;
this.stop();
}
if (this._x<570 || this._x>750) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 1;
}
if (this._x<380 || this._x>570) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 2;
}
if (this._x<200 || this._x>380) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 3;
}
if (this._x<0 || this._x>200) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 4;
}
this.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.MicAnim == 0) {
_root.Mic.gotoAndPlay("On");
_root.MicAnim = 1;
_root.activate = 1;
} else if (_root.MicAnim == 1) {
_root.Mic.gotoAndPlay("Off");
_root.MicAnim = 0;
_root.activate = 0;
}
};
}

baisically i need that when this happens:
ActionScript Code:
if (this._x<570 || this._x>750) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 1;
}

to do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
if (this._x<570 || this._x>750) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 1;
this.onPress = function(){
_root.Mic.gotoAndPlay("On");
}
}

it works well if i apply this code once, but if i try to do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
if (this._x<570 || this._x>750) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 1;
this.onPress = function(){
_root.Mc1.gotoAndPlay("On");
}
if (this._x<380 || this._x>570) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 2;
this.onPress = function(){
_root.Mc2.gotoAndPlay("On");
}
}
if (this._x<200 || this._x>380) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 3;
this.onPress = function(){
_root.Mc3.gotoAndPlay("On");
}
}
if (this._x<0 || this._x>200) {
_root.playIn();
_global.CurrentMenu = 4;
this.onPress = function(){
_root.Mc4.gotoAndPlay("On");
}
}
}

then nothing works....any ideas would be most appriciated!

Buttons, Movie Clips And ActionScripts
I've created myself conundrum. In my test movie I have created two named frames on the screens timeline (home, box); each content frame consists of a movie clip with a button in it (home_btn, box_btn). What I'm attempting to do is have the home_btn button call the movie in "box" and have the box_btn button call the movie in "home".

If I don't use movie clips the is a simple task,

home_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("box"); }

but as soon as I place the buttons inside a movie clip the navigation ceases to work. I'm assuming I'm getting beaten as something very basic, but unfortunately I can't find it.

Anything thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello people. "first" posting.

Is there a quick way to enable a swf presentation to start and stop with the operator/speaker's ability to press, say, <spacebar> to halt the movie without taking an undue amount of time and or attention?

actionscript, frame location/level, make sure that this can be done throughout the movie!

Thank You!
