Flash :: Playing The Clips

My Movie Clips Are Not Playing
Hi everyone!

Im trying to get my actionscript to work here. I have all my instances named properly (and not using the names from the library) and such but still they dont play when needed.

//Instance MC Functions:

mov1 = plays on [rollOver]
mc1 = plays the menu on [onRelease]
cube1 = plays the button mc with an invisible button behind it.

//Here is the script:

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
_root.mov1.play();
_root.cube1._alpha = 100;
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
_root.cube1._alpha = 30;
}
on (release) {
_root.mc1.play();
}

//End of Script

Playing Movie Clips On Top Of Each Other
Hi,

I am very new to this forum although I have been using Flash for a couple of years now.

I am doing a little presentation here at work. It is very simple. All I have are three square cubes hanging in a row on the center of a white canvas. Each cube is a movie clip that falls in to the canvas and stops until you click on it. The idea is that each cube represents a section of the presentation and that when you click on any of these cubes it should expand to cover the whole canvas. Then, when that particular section is finished, they return to their original shape and size.

The problem is that I want each cube to overlap the other two when it expands and I dont know how to do it. Right now if I click on the cube to the left it will expand behind the other two. If I click on the one in middle, it will cover the left one but not the one to the right. And likewise the one to the right will cover the other two cubes.

Each cube is a movie clip. I have them all placed in the same keyframe and they overlap each other in the order that I placed them within the frame.

What can I do to make each movie clip play on top of the other two ?

thanks

Movie Clips Not Playing
I created a movie clip, and although I can play it in the Library, when I put it on the stage, it doesn't play. Is there something I need to turn on, or what?

Playing Movie Clips
I was curious what the correct method to play 6 movie clips in a row was.

I am basically displaying furniture by group in a slide show.

Armoires -> Beds - > Etc.

Each section has about 9 layers, so I thought I could save each section as a movie clip and then add all the movie clips to a final flash document.

I tried doing 1 movie clip per scene, but was having problems with that. Obviously user error.

Would it be better to just make each scene a furniture section?
I have nine layers a scene, but it works.

I am just trying to make sure that I am following the acceptable methods among flash users when building my files.

Any Ideas?

Thank You

Then I have made the next 5 frames into a different animation so I want to be able to start is playing from frame 5 onwards. Im sure its very simple I just dont know the syntax

Any help appreciated.

Playing 2 Movie Clips Together
Hi all,

Does anyone know a way to to make one movie clip play with another in AS3?

Here is my AS2 code: (I know how to fix the on release stuff. What I need is how to fix the "if" and "with" stuff and "clipframe").

on (release, keyboardPress "<Space>") {
if (clipframe == 1) {
with (coulombs_law) {
play();
}
} else {
nextFrame();
}
}
on (keyboardPress "<Right>") {
if (clipframe == 1) {
with (coulombs_law) {
play();
}
} else {
nextFrame();
}
}

Thanks so much for your help.

Movie Clips Not All Playing
I have two empty movie clips, each containing to movie clips. So really I have four movie clips that need to be played two at a time. I have it all figured out except that it plays "ICE_txt_mc" twice instead of playing "ICE_txt_mc" and then "COM_txt2_mc". Any ideas? Thanks.

Code

Code:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("aila1");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("original_mc", depth++);
mcA = ["IceAd_next_mc", "AILA_fade_mc"];
mc1A = ["ICE_txt_mc", "COM_txt2_mc"];
index = 0;
index1 = 0;
xx = 448;
yy = 110;
xx1 = 217.5;
yy1 = 367.5;
mc = this.attachMovie(mcA[index], "mc", 0);
mc._x = xx;
mc._y = yy;
mc1 = this.attachMovie(mc1A[index], "mc1", 1);
mc1._x = xx1;
mc1._y = yy1;
trace(mc);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mc1._currentframe == mc1._totalframes) {
index1++;
if (index1<mc1A.length) {
attachMovie(mc1A[index],"mc1", 1);
mc1._x = this.xx1;
mc1._y = this.yy1;
}
}
if (mc._currentframe == mc._totalframes) {
index++;
if (index<mcA.length) {
attachMovie(mcA[index], "mc", 0);
mc._x = this.xx;
mc._y = this.yy;
}
}

Playing 2 Movie Clips One After The Other...
Hi,

New to action script...Need some help to find the easiest way to script the playing of 2 or 3 files one after the other...

My script is below...only a few lines so far but stuck...

Ads._visible = false;
WoW._visible = false;

Bground.onEnterFrame = function() {
Ads._visible = true;
Ads.play (2);
}

This is getting the two movies to be hidden on startup as I have a background playing and it gets the first clip then playing....

I want to stop it playing at end of this clip then make the other clip visible and play it then stop that one and play another...and so on....I then want it to start over again.

Quick help appreciated....Time looming for completion.

How To Keep Audio Clips To From Playing Over Each Other....
hey folks

Hey folks,
I'm using Flash MX and have a project where the root level has two buttons: forward and previous. These buttons jump to specific labeled keyframes that contain a movie clip that contains an audio file placed on a layer.

When I test it, and move forward through the project, the audio clips stop, and then the next one will begin nicely....however when I use the previous button, multiple audio clips will play at the same time.

The same happens when I use the 'table of contents' buttons to jump to a specific section...all button actions are the same, for example:

on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
gotoAndPlay("four");
}

Is there a better way to handle audio when jumping from one keyframe to another on the root level, and the audio is contained within a movie clip?

any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Playing 2 Movie Clips At Once
Hello All,

I have a movie clip(bird) inside of a MC(wire). There is a stop action on the first frame of both MC's. What I want to happen is:

You click on bird and both MCs play.

Right now I have:

on (release) {play(_parent, 1)
}

But this only plays the parent MC (wire)

Im not sure if the "and" function is needed?

Thanks,

Playing Movie Clips?
Ok, so what I'm trying to do here is play my little movie/animation and then when it gets to (I.E.) frame 75, I want a movie clip to begin playing.

BUT

I don't want it to play by having to press a button or anything.

I want it to begin playing, and continue to play WHILE the viewer is reading the text in the screen.

How would I do that?? I've tried TellTarget and GoandPlay and neither seem to be working (or I just might be doing something wrong).

Can someone help me out with this please? It's driving me nuts.

Much thanks in advance.

Wait Before All Movie Clips End Before Playing Another
Hi, I have added a few movie clips (let's say, they are called clips A)to the main scene. I added a "stop" Actionscript at the end of the last frame. Now I 'd like to add a couple other movie clips (clips B)to be played after the clips A on the main scene stop playing. So I tried taking away the "stop" command at the last frame and added the clips B after that frame. But clips B started playing before clips A ended. So I had to leave the "stop" command in the last frame and can't add anything after that. I decided to add actionscripts to a different layer that allows all clips A to stop playing then go to play clips B. IS this the best way to do it? If it is what is the script for that action?

Thank you.

Playing Inside Movie Clips?
I am using Flash MX-

Basically I have a field of flat tiles in flash that flip over when you roll over them. There is one generic movie clip for now that will be duplicated as unique clips once I get it working so that each tile can have an unique image on the backside. This way you reveal an interesting image as you flip the tiles(the images swap out also based on number of tile flips). The movie clip has the flip over and flip back animations inside it, labeled with frame labels. In order to get it to roll back I have a time counter which is 2 frames: frame 1 has counter=counter+1 and frame 2 is gotoAndPlay frame1's label. Then in order for the tiles to flip back over after a certain amount of time, there is a simple math function which subtracts the current counter value from the time value that the counter was at when the tile was rolled over(which is the variable tilecounter, which was declared inside the button). If the difference of those two variables is > 50 (50 is an arbitrary value for now just for testing) then this line: _root.tileflipover.gotoAndPlay("tileflipback") should play. However all that happens is that it goes to the first frame of the tileflip animation and stops. I can get the tile to flip over nicely when i roll over it but it will not roll back. There are no stop actions on any of the frames at that point. I looked in two separate actionscripting books and both say that I have set it up right. I am so frustrated with this that I dont know what to do. Its for a class project thats due thursday and everything is ready except for this goddam flip back. Any help is appreciated. I have posted a link to the .fla file so anyone can take a look at it. Thanks.

Playing Movie Clips With Buttons
i'm new to action script.....

I created a button on the main timeline. I also created a movie clip within the Flash movie that I want to be played when the button is pressed. I thought I added the correct actionscript...but whenever I try to test it.... it doesn't work. The movie clip i created works fine when in editing mode...but I can't get it to be called up or played when the button in the main movie is pressed.

I'll press the button in IE..and nothing happens. Even tried to just add the simple go to and play command and adding the appropriate frame number.... but still nothing. It's as if I never assigned any action to the button in the first place. Somebody help me! please

Playing Movie Clips With Buttons
I don't know what's going on with this, but I've tried every possible way to create this action, and nothing has worked. ALL I want is for the movie clip to play in the main movie when a specific button is pressed.

The Movie clip won't have the same timeline as the main movie.. I even tried to just drop the movie into certain frames of the main movie and use 'gotoandplay' to have the main movie jump to the specific timelineand play the clip...but not even that works. Is this some kind of glitch???

Playing Movie Clips On Click
I'm having a problem where if you click on an item it should change the cursor for a second, really as a visual register that you hit the target. the only problem is the clip only plays about 10-25% of the time.

In my movie i have the following code:

PHP Code:

_global.shoot=function(){
    _root.cs.play(2);
    _root.score++;
}

and on each target MC i have:

PHP Code:

on(press){
    shoot();
}

on the MC called cs (the cursor) frame 1 is just the standard cursor and frame 2-5 is the changed cursor. On frame 6 is the standard cursor again and a stop() command.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Playing Mulitple Movie Clips At Once
Hi. I have a website that I'm designing in Flash 8 and I need a way so that when I press a button it goes to a frame it creates two new emptyMovieClips and plays the two movies at the same time. I have it working with just one movie clip and the code I have is:

<as>on (press) {
gotoAndPlay("mar");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("original_mc", depth++);
mcA = ["IceAd_next_mc", "Marriott_fade_mc"];
index = 0;
xx = 448;
yy = 105;
mc = this.attachMovie(mcA[index], "mc", 0);
mc._x = xx;
mc._y = yy;
trace(mc);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mc._currentframe == mc._totalframes) {
index++;
if (index<mcA.length) {
mc.removeMovieClip();
attachMovie(mcA[index], "mc", 0);
mc._x = this.xx;
mc._y = this.yy;
}
}
};

}
</as>

I also can make it work for the second movie clip alone, but not together the code for the second movie clip is just below. Is there a way to combine the two so that they both play at the same time?

<as>this.createEmptyMovieClip("text_mc", depth++);
mcA = ["ICE_txt_mc", "MAR_txt2_mc"];
index = 1;
xx = 217.5;
yy = 367.5;
mc = this.attachMovie(mcA[index], "mc", 1);
mc._x = xx;
mc._y = yy;
trace(mc);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mc._currentframe == mc._totalframes) {
index++;
if (index<mcA.length) {
mc.removeMovieClip();
attachMovie(mcA[index], "mc", 1);
mc._x = this.xx;
mc._y = this.yy;
}
}
};

while im here, can anyone help with this:

the "sign" movie clip reveals(mask) a signpost. i want the sign to be revealed when you press the three_btn, but also i want the sign to disappear IF you press three_btn and the sign post is visible.

Playing Two Video Clips Sequentially
OK - this is my first post to this forum. I've been working with Flash for a while. No problem with basic timeline images, text, and music. (See pvhistory.org splash page). I've also got no problem encoding and uploading video to play on the web. (see the onliine history show playback on the website).

Here's the problem. I want to tack short ads onto the front of the segments, but I don't want to edit the ads into the videos. I want to attached the ad clips after everything is encoded to an FLV. This way changing ads will be quick. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get two videos on the timeline playing sequentially. This has to be easy and I"m missing something obvious.

Any help from the more experience, or simply more astute, members of the group appreciated.

Playing A Series Of Clips In Order
I've got one that seems simple but I can't figure it out.

I need to rapidly build a slideshow of sorts and instead of doing it with XML, etc. I'm just putting these few images into clips within my main movie. Once the clips are complete I want to put them in the proper order on the timeline and have them play one after the other in order. Problem is they won't. What happens instead is the the last clip (from left to right on the timeline) loops over and over again since it doesn't have a stop in it somewhere. Even if all the clips have stops in them it still doesn't do any good.

I would put each image on the timeline and its accompanying crossfade, but I'd end up with an animation with 10,000 frames. Lame. There has to be a way to do this with symbols.

Could I put a keyframe on each subsequent frame and load each image in a blank clip, and then dispose of it and play the next clip in the same empty container?

This is one of those times when Flash seems so needlessly complex. Macromedia crows on and on about "clips within clips" as being such an easy way to work in Flash, and then something as basic as this is so arcane in its implementation. I just want to play one clip after the other. Does it need to be this obscure?

Imported Movie Clips Not Playing
I'm building a flash file where there are several icons at the top, and by clicking on them, a swf movie is supposed to play with more details of that product. For some reason, the clips don't play. I'm not getting any script error messages, but the clips don't even run locally (control > test movie).

-Each swf clip being imported has "stop():" coded at the end in a script layer

-Before the frame where the clip loads in the main movie, the same stop script as above is coded there

-In the next frame from the stop script above, the following code is scripted on a different layer
mytarget.unloadMovie();
mytarget.loadMovie("nextmovieclip.swf");

I moved the order of the layers to see if they were being hidden by something else, but got the same results. Any idea what I'm overlooking?

Here's the URL to see the file in progress:

Stoping Other Movie Clips From Playing
Let's say I have 3 buttons (a, b, and c) on the main scene.

Each button plays a movie clip, which is on the main scene as well.

when button "a" is pressed it will play "movie1" clip this movie is a repeated movie.

when button "b" is pressed it will play "movie2" and so forth.

How do I get it so that when ever the user presses the button it will stop all the other movie clips from playin?
