Play One Movie Clip When Another Ends
Hi all,
I was just getting used to AS2 and this is the first time using AS3 so I'm having a little difficulty getting used to it, so please bear with me if I'm missing something really obvious.
I have one frame one the main timeline with two movie clips, the first called 'logo' (contains an embeded .flv) and the second 'back' (contains two frames, one blank with a stop command; the second a static image with a stop command). What I want to do is have the movieclip 'back' advance to frame 2 once the movie clip 'logo' has finished playing. I have included my code below:
Code:
stop();
import caurina.transitions.*;
import caurina.transitions.properties.DisplayShortcuts;
DisplayShortcuts.init();
Tweener.addTween(logo,{_frame:178,time:6,transition:"easeOutQuart"});
if (logo.currentFrame==178) {
back.play();
}
Any help would be greatly appreaciated as I've been scanning forums for last two days and nothing I try is working.
Thanks

Load Entire Movie In Any Size Movie Clip?
Hi all. I was wondering. I want to make a static html page with a flash preloader. loading my entire movie into that preloader movie clip. Now I know I can load a movie into a movie clip but can i load it in and have the movie retain it's height and width (1024 by 768) after being loaded into a smaller movie clip (20 by 300). A movie clip placed on a static web page that is.
Well any advice will do, thanks in advance.

Go To Next Frame After Movie Clip Ends
I imported a movie clip into the second frame of my flash file (the first frame is a loader).
there are no controls on the movie because I want to treat it as an intro that leads you directly into the site.
in the properties of the movie clip it says:
instance of: FLVPlayback
and i simply gave it the same instance name.
My question is what is the code to make it go to frame (3) after the movie clip is finished playing?
currently there is a stop(); in the actions, but that of course just makes the movie play and then stop on the last frame of the movie.
can anyone give me the code to make this work?
thanks!

Detect When Movie Clip Ends. Flash MX
Hey,
I have an object that I have set to spin and deaccelerate when the movie loads. What I want to do is carry on from there. The object is made to spin using action scrip, not a tween.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (rotDest>0) {
this._rotation += (rotDest)*.16;
rotDest--;
}
}
Im after a way to detect when the object has come to rest and then load the next scene. Is this possible? Its either that or I have to wait 206 frames for the animation to stop and then put in my gotoandplay statement. Im sure this method is classed as 'scruffy'!
Thanks in advance

Unable To Play Entire Movie In Flash Doc
Hi I am new to flash development.
I am trying somethiiing easy. I want to embed a flash (flv) movie (encoded from Quicktime mov) into a web page and include a set of controls under the movie.
I create a Flash 2 doc in Flash CS3 and import the flv movie add the swf skin just fine. However, in both Flash (testng the movie) and on the web page, the movie plays to about 3/4 of the way through and then just stops. Movie is about 1.5 minutes long. If I move the playhead a bit further and click play, it continues to play.
OK, being a NOOB, this is probably *real* simple and some thing basic I'm missing.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Repeat A Movie Clip - Loop
Check this out http://users.rcn.com/rmkerr/test_roll
I'm trying to make this appear as a sort of film roll spinning. I figured I would repeat this animation at a steady interval to create that illusion. Can anyone recommend how I code that? Also, is that the best way to create what I'm going after? Thanks for any input.

Nested Movie Clip Will Not Repeat
I am creating a mp3 player that gets info from an external XML file. I am trying to create a masked scrolling message that gets the text data from the XML file. I have succeeded doing this and was very happy until I found out the message only scrolls once. I do not understand why it doesn't loop.
The message is loaded into a movie clip called prompt_mc that has a dynamic text field named prompt_txt inside of it. In prompt_mc I moved the message across 200 frames from right to left and then I dropped the prompt_mc on the main timeline with a mask object above it. The mask is handled in the code and works great. Anyone know why my prompt_mc is not looping or have any ideas??
Here is part of my code if it's helpful:
// function to check if XML file is loaded and parse XML file
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.prompt = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.songtitleone = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.artistfirstSong = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
prompt_mc.prompt_txt.text = _root.prompt;
songtitleone_txt.text = _root.songtitleone;
// prompt message mask
prompt_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
// play songs
var artistSong:String = _root.artistfirstSong;
controller.autoPlay = false;
play_mc.onRelease=function() {
if (this._currentframe == 1) {
this.gotoAndStop("stop");
controller.setMedia(artistSong,"MP3");
controller.play();
}
else {
this.gotoAndStop("play");
controller.stop();
}
}
} else {
trace("Error: file not loaded!");
}
}
// load XML file and define XML object
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(playlist_URL+name_URL+identity_URL);

Entire Movie Stops On Clip End
I have a problem. I made a preloader that reads it's filesize and then displays a percentage as it loads. Everything works fine, but the problem is when the movie clip that the script is in no longer exists (such as in the next scene), the entire movie just stops. Here is the code that I used:
onClipEvent (load) {
tkb = _root.getBytesTotal();
_root.size = tkb/1024;
_root.version = getVersion;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
p = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/tkb)*100);
_root.percent = p;
if (p == 100) {
_root.nextFrame();
}
}
Please help!

Play Movie Clips To Fade Off THEN Play New Movie Clip
Hey guys, I've been doing a little searching and I can't find the answer to my dilemma.
I've made up some buttons that play a little movie clip animation when pressed. The scenario is like this: Push the "Illustration" button and little files pop onto the screen. Each file will be a button that opens up an image. Push the "Pictures" button and the "Illustration files" should fade off the screen so the "Pictures files" could pop in in it's place.
I can't find a way to make the "Pictures" movie WAIT for the "Illustration" movie to be done before it pop in. One goes in, and the other simultaneously goes out and I don't want that.
Is there any way?

[CS3.AS2] Button In A Movie Clip Link To Another Movie Clip And Play
what im doing is that making a button in a movie clip link to another movie and play/stop certain parts of that clip
lets say that there are 4 buttons are in movieA, and the other clip is called movieB
when the user clicks button1 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 1 to 5 and stop.
when user clicks button2 in movieA, movieB will play from frame 5 to 10.
and so on
so far my code for button1 is:
on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}
on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(5);
}
button2:
on (release){
this._parent.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}
on (release){
_root.movieB.gotoAndStop(10);
}
with this code, it just jumps to the designated frame.
what i want is to have it play from current frame to a designated frame
can anyone shed some light on this?

Control The Play On The Main Timeline From Within A Loaded Movie (not A Movie Clip)?
Question... I have a movie (main movie) that loads another movie (movie 2) automatically. Movie 2 contains a button that loads yet another movie (movie3). Now I’m having trouble with this next part... When movie3 loads I want "main movie" to stop where it’s at in the timeline and stop all other loaded movies until the user clicks another button where upon movie 3 will go away and "main movie" will resume. Movie 2 is like the paper clip guy in Word and movie 3 is my help movie. Therefore, it can be accessed at any point during the main movie and I don’t want to use a goTo command to jump to a frame label or scene. Does anyone have any idea how to control the play on the main timeline from within a loaded movie (not a movie clip)?

Instructing An External Movie Clip To Play From The Main Movie
Anyone tell me the easiest way to sort this one?
I have a movie clip that consists of 2 keyframes.
It is loaded onto level1 above my main movie and the first frame is blank (so that it does not come into play until instructed).
The second keyframe is the main part of the loaded movie and this needs to play after receiving instruction from the main movie.
My problem is 'How do I instruct this to happen??'
I have no knowledge of action script so if anyone could advise or tell me if there is an easier way to do this I would be eternally greatful........................................

Loading Movie Into Empty Clip, But Movie Won't Play
I have 4 movies that i am trying to load into an empty clip in an existing movie. my problem is that when each of these movies are loaded into the clip, I can physically see it, but it doesn't function as a movie, the rest of the larger movie is moving around it, but the smaller movies won't move. I thought this was because I put a stop action at the end of the smaller movies, but when I take it out, the movie just keeps looping when loaded into the empty clip in the new movie.
does that make sense.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Play Certain Frames Of Movie Clips
Hello, Im wondering if there's anyway to play certain frames from a movie clip when X action is set in any frame of a scene.
For example, I have a graphic of a man running, and .. let's say, when the movie reaches frame 100 I want it to start it to talk, but keep it running, so Im guessing it would be something like.. gotoAndplay *movieclip* frame 2
but ehh that might be just wrong.
So eh.. yeah. having a movie clip with a stop(); action on the first frame, then when my movie reaches frame 100, make it play frame 2, keep playing until frame 15 and then stop again (with the stop action obviosuly) on frame 16.
I hope I made my point.. If there's anyway to do this.. please post it here >.<
Thanks in advance..

TellTarget To Play A Movie Clip Within A Movie Clip
I currently have two movie clips in my scene with a button that lies inside one of the movie clips. We will call this movie clip for the sake of this post "ph." The button inside of ph has a rollOver/rollOut movie clip called "Buick_rollOut" attached to it as a parked movie clip through tellTarget. Currently Buick_rollOut only works if I put the parked movie clip on the same level as ph. I want Buick_rollOut to be within the movie clip, ph, that contains the button. I want that button be able to tellTarget the location of Buick_rollOut within ph. I hope this makes sense. Here is my code for the button that lies within ph. (this code only works when Buick_rollOut is located outside of ph on the same level).
Attach Code
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("/Buick_rollOut") {
gotoAndPlay ("rollOver");
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("/Buick_rollOut") {
gotoAndPlay ("rollOut");

Dragging Movie Clip To Play 2nd Movie
I created a movie clip called drag that is being dragged by the mouse. I have a seconded movie clip called spin that is on the stage. A third movie clip, Which is blank, on the stage has my actions. My goal is to have the spin movie play when the mouse moves. On the first frame in the blank clip, I have:
Begin Tell Target ("../spin")
stop
End Tell Target
Set Variable: "locate" = GetProperty (drag, _x)+GetProperty (drag,_y)
The second frame has:
If (locate = GetProperty (drag,_x)+GetProperty (drag,_y))
Go to and Play (3)
Else
Begin Tell Target (../spin)
Play
End Tell Target
Go to and Play (1)
Frame three has an action that goes back to frame two
When i test the movie and i move the mouse i get a warning telling me that there is an infinite loop.
What could be wrong with the code?

Reversing All Frames By A Button To Play Next Movie
I have a movie which all the frames and layers plays and stops, i was wondering if there is any way (easy) way so i can put an action to my buttons to make the movie go reverse and load another movie, (the movie assigned to the approprite button), and so on. I can only get it to work with one button, if i try to click on another button, it reverses the movie and loads the movie that i want button number 1 to play, it also does that with the 3rd and 4th and 5th button.
the messed up code i used is on release go to frame 32 (which begins the movie in reverse), and after the movie finishes it loads movie2.swf

1st Few Frames Of Movie Play In Wrong Direction?

I want to move the start position of first frame, but when I do that and test it, it starts playing in a clockwise direction and then at the next keyframe stops and plays in the right direction. How do you move the start frame without causing this to happen? I have been dragging it along the timeline and dropping it, is that correct?
Help gratefully received and client getting in a tizzy wanting this finished!!

Contact button is as follows
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}
}
this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
}
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}
this.onRelease = function(){if (_root.mainbox_MC._currentFrame >=1 && _root.mainbox_MC._currentFrame !=6){
_root.mainbox_MC.gotoAndPlay(2);}
else if (_root.mainbox_MC._currentFrame == 30){

Define To Play Number Of Frames From The Specified Frame In A Movie
For Example,
I have play from frame Number 40 to Frame number 50. At the same time it has to jump & play from frame 70 to 100.
I may use label for the frame number 40 & 70.
Right now what i have tried is put a action as stop at 50th frame and also 100th frame
_root.gotoAndPlay(40);
_root.gotoAndPlay(70);
It works only once and it stops at 50th frame itself, because i have given stop action at 50th frame...
Hope you understand my question,
Thanks, Bala
