Flash :: Moving From Final Movie Back To 1st Movie

Keeping A Scrolling Movie Clip With Forward And Back Buttons Moving
I have a movie clip that scrolls with forward and back buttons. This is working perfectly but I am looking for some code to keep it consistently scrolling when the buttons are not being used.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now my code looks like this...

moveLeft.onRollOver = function() {
rocket.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x -= 10;
if (this._x < -3340) {
this._x = -3340;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
moveLeft.onRollOut = function() {
delete rocket.onEnterFrame;
};
moveRight.onRollOver = function() {
rocket.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += 10;
if (this._x>80) {
this._x = 80;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
moveRight.onRollOut = function() {
delete rocket.onEnterFrame;
};

Can You Use The Back Button In A Browser To Go Back To Go Back In A Flash Movie?
Hi
In html pages it is easy to go back (the back button in the browser) to the last page you were on. But when you have got a flash site in a html page you cannot go back to the last page in the flash site using the 'back' button in the browser. Is there anyway you can change this so that you can use the back button in a browser to go back to the last flash frame?

Quicktime Movie Export Into Final Cut/ae
Using a Mac, I did this before but forgot how. I want to export a flash animation I did as an uncompresed Quicktime movie which I can bring into Final Cut Pro or AE which is scalable and DOES NOT become pixelated when scaled. I'm using Flash 5 on a mac system. I know the Quicktime file should be large, not 25kb-256kb, but in MB if done correctly. I';ve tried it about 10 differant ways. Some look fine at first, but are not when scaled.

Thanks for any help

Opening URL On Final Frame Of A Movie
Hi all,

I've used Flash in the past, so I'm familiar with the user interface for the most part, but I'm completely new to ActionScript, so any help with this would be most appreciated: -

What I've doe is created an animation in 3D Stdio Max, and exported it to 200 individual JPG files. I've then imported these into the timeline in Flash so that they play like a movie. I've then exported an SWF file of this movie, and placed it into a page in Dreamweaver, where it plays automatically when the page is opened.

This is all fine, but my intention is to automatically open a different html page in the same broswer window when the last frame of the movie is reached, rather than the animation looping again. Does anyone know how I might go about doing this?

As I said before, I'm new to ActionScript, so being as explicit as possible would be extremely helpful. If any further information is required, I'd be happy to provide it. I'm using Flash MX 2004.

Thanks!

Generating A Final Movie Clip In SWF
[color=royal blue]Hello,

I'm making an app. where you can create a character from a bunch of movie clips from the library (attributes of hair, clothing, etc.) using the attachMovie actionscript. I was wondering.. after the user has generated a character by attaching a bunch of movie clips, and then clicking a button, how can I create a new screen that displays the user's final character that was made?

Hope you can see what I'm trying to get at,,, the new screen would maybe have a 'container' that displays the movie clips selected in the previous screen..? I have no idea how to approach this [/color]

How Do You Limit The Final Movie To Just The Stage?
I know this may sound like a dumb question,but I'm a flash newbie so please be kind. I don't want the things off the stage to show in my final movie, and I can't figure out how to do that. I know I could mask it or something, but I don't want the final window to have a big blank area around the stage. What should I do?

Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

Loading A .txt File In Final Movie
Let me try to explain my problem...........I will try to explain it the best I can, and I hope someone can understand it.

Ok, I have started making a flash website just for an experiment. On the site, I have a content area(movie clip) on one layer in the middle of the site that appears to the user to load whatever content the user clicks on of the navigation links. There is no actionscript to this movie clip, only the designed element.

On another layer in the main timeline, I have an empty movie clip positioned inside the content area to load the actual content each time. (It has a frame actionscript to loadVariablesNum("home.swf",0) ).

In an external .swf file, I created a scrolling text that could be loaded into the webpage. For example, I created a home.txt file and then loaded it into the external movie "home.swf". Inside the external movie "home.swf" everything worked fine.....text file loaded and it scrolled by using the arrows I made.

Now, back inside the website, on the home button, when clicked, it was my goal to load the external "home.swf" file. Well, it loads the graphic arrows fine, but the text does not load. I also have an actionscript on the home button of
on(release)
_root.content_show.loadMovie("home.swf"); where content_show is the instance name of the blank movie clip.

I have tried everything that I know of to get this external movie to load when the Home button is clicked, and all I can get to show up is the arrows and not the text.
If anyone can help me with this issue, please let me know. I don't know if I need to rearrange the layers, or what. I have tried everything I know with the actionscript.
I have also included the website .swf file so maybe someone can get a better understanding of what I am talking about.
If anyone can help me with this, or needs a better understanding of what I am saying, please let me know.
Thanks.

Final Movie Shows Objects Outside The Stage
Hi all!

I am working on my first game in Flash 5, but I have encountered a problem. When I choose "export Movie" and save the game as a .swf file and then test it in Mozilla it shows objects that were outside the actual stage in the program. Especially the scrolling looks kinda weird...
This also happens when previewing the game in Flash.

Can anyone please tell me what to do to prevent this from happening?

HELP Why Doesn't My Flash Movie Work Properly In Final Cut Pro?
Please- I have asked everyone and nobody knows the answer to this. I am making an animated movie for television. I have animated characters to aif files peveiously recorded The fla is 30 frames per seconed .I then export the swf to final cut pro which is also 30 frames per seconed without the sound files. I place the same sound files into final cut and align them with my animation and the whole thing so matter how much I tinker with the files do not syncopate. The only thing that seems to work a little is changing the frame rate of the flash movies and re exporting them into final cut but it's not great> Is there a solutiion to this?

Need Control Over Main Mc From Final Nested Movie Clip
I have created a flash promo banner for my site but am having trouble controlling the loop of the entire movie. I am fairly new the to AS so it may be a very simple solution that I am just missing. I have nested 3 Mc (wd_mc, pd_mc, id_mc) and am having trouble returing to the main MC wd_mc

I have used:

_root.gotoAndPlay()
this.parent.gotoAndPlay(1)
wd_mcgotoAndPlay(1)

All in the last Action frame of the final nested MC.

And none have proven to be any success. There is a link below to my website with the animation playing, as you can see it only plays once and the final Mc continued to loop itself. I want it to loop from the Main Mc (wd_mc) as this will look more professional. Can anyone offer any ideas. The actual file is also posted if you need to see inside of the fla. for any clerification.

Please help...been at this for three days.

Load Movie, Play Movie Then Jump Back
Hello, i am new to Action Scripting so please be gentle, but i have something i would like to achieve using it and Flash 8.

I really need to be able to load a separate SWF file from a button contained in another SWF. When loaded and played, i need to jump back to the previous SWF file, but not to the beginning, to a certain point within it (the frame i left from).

Is this possible? If so, could you talk me through how.

Thanks everyone.

I Just Need Two Movie Clips To Play Back To Back
This is a simple one: I have 1 scene, I've developed two complex mc's and now I want to play them in sequence. In scene one I've placed the first movie with a "stop" action. Inside the end of this first mc I also have a "stop" action. I've then put the second mc in frame two expecting the playback head to advance to frame 2...when i preview the move it just stops after the first mc. Ive tried to replace the "stop" action with "gotoandplay(scene,frame)" at the end of mc one...the first mc just loops. Also tried setting up a second scene with the second mc placed in frame one with a stop "action". Then use the "gotoandplay(scene,frame)"... it just plays the first scene mc.

Thanks for your help.

[MX04] Moving The Last Frame Of A Movie To Shorten Movie
I have just started working with MX 2004 & there is an aspect to it that really bugs me.

With MX(2000) say you had a timeline length of 40 frames & you wanted to make it shorter, say 30 frames, you would grab the last frame & move it to the left to shorten it. Nothing but virgin frames would be visible after 30.

With MX2004 i have a 60 frame timeline that I want to take down to 20 & I cannot move the last frame (it's not a key frame – just the rectangular symbol denoting the end of a movie) I can of course insert blank frames up to the end point but not physically move it across. I'm I missing a trick here?

Moving A Duplicated Movie To A Child Movie
There must be a simple solution to this but I really can't find it. I'm loading an external SWF 'X' into movie clip 'A'. Then within movie 'C' inside movie 'B' inside movie 'A' I need to create 30 copies of movie 'X'. If i try to copy 'X' using duplicateMovieClip within 'C', the copies of 'X' sit inside 'A' and not 'C' where I need them. Can I movie the copies into 'C'? Can I create them in 'C' in the first place? Or do I need to use AttachMovie but if so, how do I LINK my dynamically loaded movie? Thanks

Getting Out Of Movie...going Back Up To Level 0...
I have totally forgotten how to come up out of a movie and back up to the main time line. I have an animation, kinda of like a masking type thing, and when it's over, it should stop, come back up out of that movie, and back to the main timeline, and go to the next frame. I've thrown everything I know at it, and I know the solution is extrememly easy...I just haven't done this in forever...little help...

Almost forgot, I'm using Flash 5 not MX.

So, to be more clear.

Main timeline
-Movie Clip on main timeline which I want to go back up ^^ to main timeline and then the next frame when done.

From A Movie Back To Root
Hi,

I'm busy with a small project. It includes an intro movie, followed by a flash menu. In the top of the flash movie I have two buttons:
Skip Intro (so you go directly to the flash menu where you can enter the website, and select the language), and a play again button (which plays the intro again).

I use a preloader, afterwards the movie begins to play.

With a script I can divide the intro and menu on the same timeline. The script tells which movie has to play, and will only continue to the next movie on the timeline when the previous has finished. So it's easy to go the menu after the intro, since it will go automatically when the intro has finished.

But the thing is, I would like to have the two top buttons work. One movieclip is called Intro, the other Menu. The buttons are in a different movieclip, so I''ll have to switch somehow to the root of the timeline.

I thought it was something with _root., but I don't know for sure.

I hope someone could give me a clue,

Movie Clip, Next Back
Hi!

I am finally stumped.

I have spent a day trying to research how to tell my movie clip to go forward one frame and backwards from a next and back button from a main movie.

I have tried these codes and I do not seem to be close and I have not attempted to try going to the previous frame yet.

Below are the codes I have been working with:

on (release) {
_root.content_box.channels.gotoAndPlay(_currentfra me+1);
}

-----------------------------------

on(release)
{ if(_root.content_box.channels._currentframe < lastFrame)
_root.content_box.channels.nextFrame()
else
_root.content_box.channels.gotoAndStop(3) }

I have a link to the site I am trying to create.

Any idea?

Movie From Pc To Mac And Back..performance Hit
Me and a friend have been working on a flash file together and so it has been going back and forth between our two machines. I have a pc and he has a mac, and up until the last switch the published movie ran smoothly. I sent a near final version of the file to him for some graphical tweaking, which was running smoothly on my machine, and he commented that it was slow on his. On sending the file back, it is certainly far more sluggish when both previewing and publishing. Nothing has changed in the file that should effect performance and so I am at a loss as to what is causing it? He is working on MacOSX and so flash should be optimised?!? I am running XP. It is not really practical to revert back to an older file at my end and make the changes myself. Any ideas on what might be causing this, it is almost like the frame rate has been lowered, but it has not?

Thnks for any help anyone can offer

Getting Variables Back From A Movie...
Im trying to create an object with 2 buttons and in image. the 2 buttons ( next and previous) will cycle the image throught the available images and send the selected image id back to a dynamic text variable in the main movie.

How do i have multiples of this control which pass this id back to a specified text field?

i can put code in the object to set _root.x = whatever but this obviously isnt going to work due to the object orientated nature of its use.

Help!

FLV Unload Movie Back To Timeline
I am using the FLV video feature with flash cs3. I have a flvplayback video it begins to play correctly but when it is finished it just stops the timeline all together because of the necessary stop function that must be on the same line as the flvplayback movie so that it play. My question is how do I make it so that after the flv video is done being played the timeline begins to continue moving once again? how do I unload the video after it is done playing? can I make it go to a specific frame after it is unloaded?

basically i want to hit a button were it then jumps to the flv video (not embedded) it plays, then once its done playing it the resumes the timeline and continues playing the flash movie

Back Button Within A Flash Movie
I'm sure there must be an answer to this problem somewhere on the forum but I can't find it so don't all shout at me if I've repeated a question!!
I have a movie which contains buttons that lead to "extra information" pages. the buttons can be on a number of pages - e.g. a price guide may have links coming from buttons on 4 different frames. I want the user to be able to click a back button to go back to exactly the same page that they navigated from - exactly the same way as a web page... but all contained within the flash movie. I'm sure it's simple but I don't know where to start... any ideas at all?
