Playing Swfs Back To Back Seamlessly?
I have an extremely large swf here. 7.1 MB!!! I also have one that is around 5MB!

I am having difficultity playing them on the webpages.

Obviviously they need preloaders which I use, but due to the size (I am assuming) they play slow. The music plays fine but the animation has trouble keeping up and thus it is not entirely in sync.

Would splitting these swfs up into smaller swfs and then inserting code (getUrl or something along those lines?) at the end of each small swf to begin playing the next small chunk of swf work?

Can this be done and done smoothly? So that the small swfs play and play back to back so that the viewer wouldn't even be able to tell?

What are your thoughts? Has anyone been able to do this successfully?

Playing Swfs Back To Back Seamlessly?
I have two extremely large swfs (7.1 MB and 5 MB). I am having a lot of trouble displaying them on the web. The run slow. The sound plays fine but the animation has trouble keeping up and thus it is out of sync. The animation looks slow.

I do use preloaders and have tried loading the entire swf before playing and just loading 1/3 of the movie or 1/2 of the movie before starting, to the same slow play.

I am wondering if it is possible to split these monsters into much smaller swfs and then link them together?

In otherwords, at the end of the first small swf is a code (getURL or something along these lines) to start loading/playing the next section of small swf, etc...

Can this be done seamlessly? So that the viewer would not even know there are multiple swfs and it would play as if one continuous movie?

Has anyone tried this or is this even possible? Thanks.

OnDrag:scroll Thru Timeline / OnRelease: How To Resume Playing The Timeline
i want to scroll thru the timeline by dragging a slider. (just like scolling thru QT) framenumber will be calculated based on slider._x.
when release slider, timeline should play from that point normally

when i stop dragging the slider, the procedure of gotoAndPlay(calculatedFramenumber)does not stop and movie sticks on that frame where slider-button was released.

slider-button-code:
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, 276.5, 331.5, 757.5, 331.5);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

slider mc-code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
slideframe = math.ceil(1.892*(_x-276.5)+1908);
_root.gotoAndPlay(slideframe);
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
_root.play();
}

can anyone help me on that simple issue?

Playing Timeline In Reverse Mode (the Whole Timeline, Not A MC)
hi,
I have to make a flash book where you can view each page forward and backwards - as if you were actually reading the book by clicking on a next or back button depending on what you wanna do.
My problem is: I have the main timeline and all the animations are placed there without using any MCs.

i know a similar topic has been covered hundred of times on this forum, but i didn't found anything covering this specifical issue.

All topics refer to MC's placed on the timeline, but i have all my stuff on the main timeline, without any mc's, so.... i have to ask
Is there any script to make the movie, once stopped, move backwards and then stop, when it finds the stop command?????????

Help!
Thanx in advance
Mcclaine

Thanks in advance,

XML Image & Video-playing Gallery Issue. Video Doesn't Hide When Online.
Hi guys,

I've created a gallery using kirupa's tutorial that loads in, through xml, both images and streaming video swfs.

here's the link (then click on 'Real Art', then on 'Roster' in the menu):

http://www.studiotonne.com/tira/

All links (xml and content links in the xml) are pointing to an online server, so it should work offline in the same way it does online.

So offline, it all works fine and browsing through the gallery in the Roster for each artist, selecting each number in the gallery closes the current image/video and displays the new one, as it should.

Online however, the issue is different. For instance, clicking on 'Build', then on number 5 in the gallery (which is a streaming video embedded in a swf pulled in via xml), it streams in the required video. However, upon trying to select a different picture in the gallery, or choosing to view the gallery of a different artist, the video doesn't want to disappear and allow other images to be seen, as it does when viewed offline.

I'm sure its quite a simple thing to make the streaming video swf that the xml loads in, to disappear. I just don't understand why it works properly offline, whereas online, the video issue occurs.

Could it be a netConnection or netStream issue?

Here is the code for the build gallery in the roster:

Code:
stop();
function loadXML(loaded) {
trace("XML loading...");
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
displayPages();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("clientupdates/build/xml/build.xml");

p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
/*
if(blnPreview) {
previous_btn._visible = false;
next_btn._visible = false;
} else {
previous_btn._visible = true;
next_btn._visible = true;
}
*/
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;

p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
}

function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);

}

}
function firstImage() {
trace("firstImage");
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);

// Only show the artwork data unless we're not in preview mode
//if(!blnPreview) {
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
//}
}
}
function picture_num() {

current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
trace("Pic num:" + current_pos);
}

function displayPages() {
for(var i=1;i <=12; i++) {
if(i <= total) {
this["PageMC" + i].pgNum.text = "a";
this["PageMC" + i]._visible = true;
} else {

if(pageNum>=0 && pageNum <total) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[pageNum], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[pageNum];
picture_num();
}

How To Subclass A Compoent/override A Component Method
If I want to take an exisiting mx component and override one of its methods, how do I do that in ActionSript 2.0?

At first I thought I could just subclass a component class and then override anything that is public. Could anyone point me to an example or get me started?

I would have expected to create a new class that extends the original class and then just create an instance of that class:
--start code--
import mx.controls.MediaController
class MyMediaComponent extends MediaComponent
{
// Contructor
public function MyMediaComponent():Void
{
}

// Override MediaComponent Method.
public function set enabled(is:Boolean):Void
{
// Do something different here

// Now forward the method call to the base class.
Super.enabled(is);
}
}

--end code--

Now I would call an instance of that new subclass rather than the original MediaController, however it doesn't seem to work.

theLevel:Number = 5;
createClassObject(MyMediaController, "mMCobj", theLevel);

Any info on how to override existing component methods would be greatly appreciated.

Getting Back To The Timeline.
This may be a simple question, but I'm having problems getting my head around it.

How do I do this???

Back To Timeline
Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this code?

on (press) {
_root.years.1999 = true;
_root.gotoAndPlay("slide");
}

Basically, it's put on a button called 1999. It's used to tell the movie which movie needs to be loaded once it hits a certain frame in the root timeline.

No Video (only Audio) When Playing Basic Video Player.
Hey everyone.
I used to be fairly good at flash, and then i had a break. Now i'm struggling with this really simple problem, that no one else seems to be having...

Here is my actionscript for playing the video

Code:

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream (nc);

theVideo.AttachVideo(ns);

ns.play("antena1wheel_1.flv");

When i preview it, it comes up with the white stage, and you can hear the sound... but no sign of any video.

Thanks, and appologies for my stupidity...

Playing Back What Is In My Array?
Hey guys,

So i have been making an interactive keyboard that plays sounds as you roll over there buttons.

I have made it so when my key has been rolled over it sends its name to my array. Now Im struggling to get the array to playback my sound in the order played.

Would it help if i posted the FLA?

Basically want a way of recording what have been pushed and then a way to play it back!

my code is:

Code:
var key:Sound = new Sound(this);
key.attachSound(soundNote);

var recordToggle = false;
var playBack:Array = new Array();

function playSound(soundNote){
trace (soundNote);
key.attachSound(soundNote);
key.start(0, 1);
}

function playBack(soundArray){
for(i=0; i < soundArray.length; i++){
playSound(soundArray[i]);
}
}

key1.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle = true){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key2.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key3.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key4.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key5.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key6.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key7.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key8.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key9.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

key10.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

lite1.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){
playBack.push(value);
}
playSound(this._name);
};

lite2.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){

}
playSound(this._name);
};

lite3.onRollOver = function() {
if(recordToggle){

};

somebutton.onRelease = function () {
trace (playBack);
if (recordButton = true) {
soundArray.play;
} else {

};

key1.onRelease = key2.onRelease = key3.onRelease =
key4.onRelease = key5.onRelease = key6.onRelease =
key7.onRelease = key8.onRelease = key9.onRelease =
key10.onRelease = function () {
stopDrag ();

Can't Get Back To Main Timeline
After checking every bit of code and sweating over this for hours, I can't seem to get it.

I have an swf saved.

I invoke the swf onto the stage (main timeline) on the first frame using only this:

_root.loadMovie("myMovie.swf");
(I don't drop the clip anywhere on the stage)

Once the movie finishes I can't get back to the main time line at all using:

_root.gotoAndStop(2)

I can't even use labels

_root.gotoAndStop("myLabel");

Anyone know why? And how can I get back to the main timeline?

How To Get Back To The Main Timeline
Hello all,

I've read previous posts about this subject and sorry to say, it flew over my head. :x

I understand there are 2 ways, either by creating a class or passing through the parameter. I like the passing by reference but what am I passing? I've tried to debug and look through the variable names for something called "TimeLine" but did not find anything of the sort declared.

And if I were to create a class..that means, once the package Main was created then I create an instance on the timeline?

Oh, I'm navigating through the timeline by way of timeline programming. That's the only way I could figure out how to maneuver from intro screen, to my program, but now I want to run the program with a different parameter on antoher keyframe/frame and I don't know how to end the first execution to go on to the 3rd frame. I know how to label my frames, but "stopAndPlay ("MyNextFrame");" doesn't work! I've also tried to use break (lol ok I was desperate ) and return but the program doesn't navigate to anywhere once all my remove listeners go off at the end of the 2nd frame.

Any hints are appreciated.
-m

P.S. This is on my 2nd keyframe/frame

ActionScript Code:
//stop();
import asdata.Racer;

var gamelvl1:Racer = new Racer("level1");

addChild(gamelvl1);

var levelUp:Boolean = gamelvl1.startGame("level1");
if (levelUp) {
gotoAndPlay("StartLevel2");
}

Course it never returns anything, also, I noticed I removed a listener while in the function that it calls! Is that a bad thing? I don't mean to sound like I'm blonde but this is quite new to me still.

Linking Back On The Timeline.
Hi ya'll Kirupians!

I have just launched my (first flash based) personal site: nenecreative.com

It is still a work in progress, and I need to ask you one question.

If you go to the "work" section, and hit one of the pieces "Evisu for example", your will be taken to a separate page "external swf file". Now, when u hit the "square next to the name: Evisu (on the top right) it will get u back to the (first page). Alright.

hit one of the arrows which ever, and go in to another piece. Hit that square and it will take u to the "first" page even if that wasn't the page that u were on last. I want to know how to link back to the "work.swf" file, but on the _root timeline. (cause this work page is built by having labels etc.

Please get back to me, this is very much appreciated! thank u, without ya'll Kirupians this wouldn't have been possible.

Playing A Sequence X Steps Back
Hi, I am trying to make buttons that will play through a frame sequence x steps forward or backwards. I want it to play or approximate playing just as if it was the play command.

I tried a for loop that incremented i till it reached x frames and each time called nextFrame() or prevFrame() but it jumped straight from the frame it was on to the frame the loop would end it on. It would not play through the sequence in between.

I'm sure this is simple to do can someone please set me straight?

Playing A MC Until A Point And Then Looping It (fwd And Back)
I have an interesting problem (or I think so) I have a long movie clip that I want to play until certain point (say frame 70) and then I want it to play backwards for 5 frames and then forwards for 5 frames (so that it loops backwards and forwards.

So the idea is that the movie would play until frame 70 and then play 69, 68, 67, 66, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 69, 68 and so on.

So what I did was at frame 65 I set

Code:
_global.loop = 1;
and on frames 66 to 69 I put:

Code:
if (_global.loop == 0) {
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe - 1);
trace("go back");
}
then finally on frame 70 I put:

Code:
_global.loop = 0;
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe - 1);
The code seems to work, but it doesnt update the stage (show) frames 66 to 69 (the code must be acting before the display is changed).

In director you can force the stage to update with an updateStage command, but I don't think that there is anything like that in Flash (as far as I know).

Is there a way to have the stage update? Or is there an easier way to do this.

Playing Back Multiple .flv At The Same Time
I am working on a site that has one feature .flv playing besides 5 smaller thumbnail .flv loops placed directly below this. I have done other sites with up to 3 .flv playing at the same time and besides the obvious bandwidth issues, did not have the problem that I am seeing now.

No more than 4 .flv will play at the same time, all others (in this case 2) will not even display. All .flv are being streamed and range from 3 - 5 megabytes in size.

Is this a known issue? Is there a limit to the amount of .flv that can be displayed at the same time?

I would appreciate any insight...

MC Playing Forward And Back On Mouseover?
So, what I'm trying to do is create a button that will play a small mc when it's moused over. I have the mc. Now, I would also like for the button to play in the reverse when moused out. Should I do this as an invisible button over an mc? Or can I just make it a regular button that imbeds that mc in the "over " frame? I am also wondering how it would run if when moused over only half of the mc plays before mousing out--can I get it to reverse from the point that it had run to instead of playing all and then backing out?

Also...I'm trying to figure out the process for loading an mc that would be triggered by a button and then making it play in reverse (so it looks like an unload) when another button/mc is triggered...

I hope someone understands what I'm talking about... *sigh* I'm just stumped.

Music Is Playing Back A 2x Speed
PHP Code:

function playAudio(f) {
    audioFile = new Sound();
    audioFile.loadSound("./"+f+"", true);
    audioFile.setVolume(90);
    audioFile.start();
    return;
}
playAudio("audio/jazz2-96-mono.mp3");

That is my AS in the first frame of the scene. For some reason, when I run the movie in Flash Player, the music is played back at twice the normal speed! Why on earth would this be happening?

Flash Video: Playing A Huge Video From Cd
Hi Guys,

I'm creating a presentation cd with flash and flash video, the FLV file size is 200mb and plays ok when the flash movie opens.

However if i try scrub to the end of the video a couple seconds into the movie the movie pauses for about 2 seconds before the buffering bar shows up, then it buffers what it requires and plays.

The problem is the 2 seconds, it seems messy or jerky because the buffering bar takes so long to come up.

I think this is because the video is loading into the computers memory, as I've read up, yet I was wondering if there is a way to preload the entire movie into the machines memory before playing, or making the buffering bar come up more quickly.

it is playing from a cd so:
FLVPlayback.bytesLoaded - does not help nor does
FLVPlayback.bytesTotal.

Id appreciate any insite into this issue
Thank you
Roark

Going Back In Time On The Main Timeline
Is there a way to have a back button take a main timeline back 10 or 15 seconds? The file I have is not an mc. I basically have a projector file that loads swf's into 0. Each swf is a chapter and has multiple scenes.

I've seen this done before but I think they had their movie all on 1 main timeline.

MC In Main Timeline Always Going Back To Frame 1 ?
Hi there!

I'm building an edu game with 4 categories of questions (20 or so questions in each category). The questions are seperated by category in 4 different MC, in wich there is 1 question per frame.
The 4 MC with the questions are located on different spots of the main timeline and the playhead moves trough them randomly.

The thing is, when the playhead come back to a category already visited it is always in frame 1 even if I send it to the next frame after answering question 1 (I actually see it moves to question 2 after answering...)

Is there a way to avoid it ?
Or as soon as a MC is displayed it will always be in frame 1 even if it was stopped in frame 2 or 3 earlier ?

Any hint appreciated

It is on a timeline so to go back to the previous image you need to move back 3 frames. I have only been able to find a (previous) script to go to the last frame.

anyone know how to do this?
Thanks for any suggestions

Refering Back To The Main Timeline From A Mc
Hi guys,
Im new to Actionscript 3 and really need some help.

Basically Ive placed a movie clip on the main timeline and used a code which plays plays the clip. What I want now, is when the timeline in the movie clip reaches the end I want it to go back back to the main timeline and stop at a specific frame so that another movie clip can play.

Ive tried placing this code at the end of the movieclip timeline:

_root.gotoAndStop("memory");

but nothing happens. Obviously something is wrong here but I dont even know where to start.
If anyone can help me that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

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
