  You can use a movieclip totalFrames property to get the total number of frames for a timeline.

• Toolbox for CreateJS: how to control the main timeline from outside the canvas.

  Hey everybody,

  I'm currently doing something simple, but my animation film breaks whenever I try to change my code. I created a basic animation in Flash where an object moves from the left side of the canvas, to the right and then loops of the last frame of the first image. Nothing else. The animation is simply placed on the main timeline. I exported the animation with the Toolbox for CreateJS through the extension of the Flash and animation series as it should. I'm trying to start and stop (reboot of the first image) the animation with the mouse on and off mouse events. I want that the events to fire when wriggling over/stop a div outside the animation canvas tag. Is this possible with CreateJS? I'm trying to find a way to control the main timeline without being inside the canvas tag.

  HTML example:

  http://www.thephotoncore.com/testing/example_test.html

  Example Code:

  < id article 'container' = >

  < canvas id = "canvas" width = "550" height = "400" style = "background-color: #cccccc" > < / canvas >

  < section id = "animation_control" >

  < p > hover over to start and stop animation. < /p >

  < / section >

  < / section >

  Thanks again for the help!

  Hi DjPhantasy5,

  All the clips on the scene are children of the scene,

  So now the "mouseover" all clips on the stage could be stopped with stop and on the "mouseout/mouseouthandler()" all the children could be restarted with gotoAndPlay like this:

  function Stop()

  {

  If (stage & stage.children)

  {

  var t = stage.children.length;

  for (i = 0; i< l;="">

  {

  child var = stage.children [i];

  If ('stop' in child)

  Child.Stop ();

  }

  }

  }

  function Restart()

  {

  If (stage & stage.children)

  {

  var t = stage.children.length;

  for (i = 0; i< l;="">

  {

  child var = stage.children [i];

  If ("gotoAndPlay" children)

  child.gotoAndPlay (0);

  }

  }

  }

  See http://www.liauw.nl/forums/adobe/djfantasy5/index.html

  But it is also possible to expose "ball1", for example, by adding it to the document.

  This can be done by adding the code for "ball1" as follows:

  / * js

  document.ball1 = this;

  */

  Then stop the animation would look like:

  function Stop()

  {

  If ('ball1' in the document)

  document.ball1.stop ();

  }

  etc.

  Have fun!

• How to control the main timeline of buttons in a movieclip - jobs in peril!

  I'm doing something simple in theory. In my main script, I have a series of images with labels for each image. In a movieclip (with its own labels and script) under the images, I have two panels of butttons flop back and forth (to save space). The idea is to have the script simply main plays the frame specified by the corresponding button in the movieclip. I tried the parent.child thing, but im hurt, or is not the solution. If anyone can help me I will be saved from certain death. If you think that any other part of my project can be blamed, ill be happy to provide you with anything that can help. Thanks in advance.

  Here is my script:

  ActionScript code:

  function on1click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
      gotoAndPlay("pic1");
  }
  thumbPanel.pic1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on1click);

  
  This is the error:

  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
  at gallery_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

  1009 error indicates that one of the objects targeted by your code are out of reach.  This may mean that the object...

  n ' is not in the display list
  n ' is not have an instance name (or the name of the instance is misspelled)
  n ' is not in the frame where this code tries to talk to her
  -is animated in place, but is not assigned the name of the instances of each keyframe for her
  -is one of the two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects without a name assigned in the image previous (s).
   
  If you go to your section to publish the Flash settings and select permit debugging option, your error message should have a suite of line number the number of the frame that will help you to isolate the object that is involved.

• Control the main timeline and chronology of built-in movie clip

  Good afternoon folks,

  I am trying to solve this problem.  I have a main scenario with an animation. (animation is not a clip).  I also have a clip film embedded in the main timeline. I want to control the actions of the main timeline AND the embedded animation at the same time.

  For example, when a user clicks on a button "pause", I want to stop the animation of the main timeline as well as the integrated clip. I figured out how to stop the main timeline using the stop(); command.  I also understood how to stop the film incorporated using the command _root.embeddedclipinstancename.stop ();  Problem is that I don't know the commands to stop the two things at the same time.

  I tried to find that an instance name for the main timeline, but there is no (I think). I know I could do the animation in the timeline in a clip, but I don't want to go that route.  Any ideas on how to control two things?
  Also, if possible, I would prefer not to use the _root command since I know that this can cause a conflict in Captivate.

  Thank you.

  Include the two commands that worked in your pause button code.  If your [ause button is on the main timeline, you don't need to use a reference of _root.  It is only really useful if you target some of child level object distance back to the main timeline.  You can _parent (and string them if necessary) instead of using _root.  As you will get in trouble unless you're on the _root timeline when using it.

• Use the MC button to perform function on the main timeline

  I was wondering how (or if it is possible) to use a button that I have in a clip to perform a function on the main timeline. Specifically, I want the button in the clip to stop on an image of the main timeline. Any suggestions?

  Hello
  _root is the main scenario.
  So if you have your button (say button1) the code would be

  Button1.onRelease = function() {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (20);
  }

  This would prevent the main timeline to frame 20.
  This is for actionscript 2 (flash 8).

  for cs3 (actionscript 3) this would be it

  Button1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, clickHandler);
  function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (20);
  }

  Hope this helps

• Communicate with the symbols of the main timeline

  Hi, I created a movieclip and exported to Actionscript. I have a few cases of the new symbol (class) on the main time line and I have a few

  The timeline class code. Im trying to communicate with an instance of movieclip that is in the main timeline, but for some reason im getting

  a mistake. the name of the movieclip instance is mcGalleryWin. im sure that the keyword root has worked for me before in a similar situation

  but for some reason, this is not not workin now...

  I tried to trace (root) of the class and I don't get the main timeline.

  Code:

• Using CS4 Flach and action script 2.0 how to move a specific frame in the main timeline when a movie clip instance come at the end of his chronology?

  Using CS4 Flach and action script 2.0 how to move a specific frame in the main timeline when a movie clip instance come at the end of his chronology?

  code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:

  _root.gotoAndStop ('whatever_frame');  will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf.  in this case, you must use a relative path to the main timeline (for example, _parent or _parent._parent etc.).

• How to get the size of the loaded swf file?

  }

  }

  Above is my project simple as3 in flex builder 3.

  My screen resolution is 1920 * 1080, when debugging, the SWF is stretched to the full EI client area, but the stage.stageWidth is 500 and the stage.stageHeight is 375, stage.widht and stage.height are 0, who can tell me why and how to get the right size of the SWF, named the area size customer of EI in this situation?

  Thank you very much!

  The HTML wrapper can resize the SWF later, so wait a frame and recheck stageWidth/stageHeight.

• How can I access a variable on the main timeline of a movie nested in HTML5 Canvas

  Hello

  This should be pretty simple, but for some reason, it does not work if I have the wrong syntax.

  But I have a movie clip with a bit of code in it.

  It is a timer.

  I want to be able to program the wait time: since the main scenario and that the timer read this variable on the main timeline.

  I implemented the delay var = 1000 on the main timeline, but then I do not seem able or knows how to get this variable in my code in the nested MC. It is quite difficult to find the reference of the paradigm flash timelines on H5 support pages, so I really appreciate the help.

  tl2 var = this;

  TL2. Stop();

  var delay = delayMain;

  var startTime is createjs. Ticker.getTime ();

  createjs. Ticker.addEventListener ("tick", f);

  {function equation

  If (createjs. Ticker.getTime () - startTime > delay) {}

  TL2. Play();

  createjs. Ticker.removeEventListener ("tick", f);

  }

  }

  If you want to get to a variable defined by a feature any at any depth, you can use the window. As:

  Window.Delay = value;

  in a deeply buried movieclip, can be read in any other level of the project.

• Control loaded swf on the main timeline

  Hello

  I'm working on loading external swf files for ios. I am able to load swf files and assembled visible or invisible in different settings. I have trouble controlling the swf files loaded on the main timeline. Specifically, I would like to have a button on the main timeline, that when you click on will move a swf loaded to frame 1.

  Here is a code that loads a swf file:

  var myLoader1:Loader;

  var loaderContext1:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext (false null, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain),

  if(myLoader1 == null)

  {

  myLoader1 = new Loader();

  addChild (myLoader1);

  }

  myLoader1.load (new URLRequest("folder/file1.swf"), loaderContext1);

  myLoader1.visible = true;

  backbutton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, backbutton1);

  function backbutton1(myEvent:MouseEvent):void {? myLoader1.gotoAndStop (1) ;}}  (this line does not work)

  (Once I load file1.swf, in the file1.swf I click a next button to move on to different periods.) My question is: hHow do I code the "backbutton" on the main timeline so that it causes the file1.swf to go to frame 1?)

  Thank you for your help.

  After loading is complete (and assuming that you load an as3 swf), you can use:

  MovieClip (myLoader1.content) .gotoAndStop (1);

• How to set a variable in the main timeline of in a symbol?

  Just get started with Animate and coming from Flash, it may be apparent to my question. How do you define a variable for the main timeline of in a symbol?

  I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and 24 of these symbols to sit inside another symbol. I want every 24 to set the global variable even when you click on it. I do not find that this question is anywhere, which makes me think that I can be stuck in a mentality from Flash and approaching the task in a bad way. (However, there are MANY discussions address showing how objects to different levels in the hierarchy.) Which is well covered).

  By the way, how to access a function on the main timeline of in a symbol?

  Adobe should consider putting on foot (or pages) support just for people migration form Flash. In the documents that I've met so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash somehow. I imagine that there are many people out there like me who have a deep background in coding Flash, but start with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we still have some pretty basic questions on how to achieve certain things in Animate because our knowledge of Flash gets in the way.

  Hi Bill,

  There are a lot of discussions here on the scope, but here's a way to create a global variable:

  code on Stage.compositionReady

  sym.myGlobalVar = 1;

  Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set this var as follows:

  sym.getComposition () .getStage () .myGlobalVar = 2;

  And here is a way to create a global function:

  code on Stage.compositionReady

  sym.myGlobalFunction = function() {}

  Console.log ('myGlobalFunction');

  }

  Then, anywhere in your project, you can call this function as follows:

  sym.getComposition () .getStage () .myGlobalFunction ();

• referencing the main timeline from a loaded swf file

  I just poked around google as both of these forums, but the only answer I see that was a success, is kglad, and for some reason that its messages are not, I just see ":" and then the guy say thank you! Not uber useful.

  In any case, I'm just trying to understand how to reference an image tag on my main timeline to a swf loaded (through my imageLoader). Does anyone have a link or can tell me what I should look for in? dispatchers of the event?

  to reference the main timeline of the SWF loading from the main timeline of the swf file that is loaded, use:

  MovieClip (this.parent.parent)

• CLICK in the main timeline &gt; &gt; will click where is designated in loaded swf?

  Seems doable, but difficult to grasp the concept...

  I have a slideshow loaded swf in this slide show, I assigned "next" and "prev" buttons to promote and save my slide show via the image labels ("avowed") for example... Here is an example:

  btn_next.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, nextClick);

  function nextClick (e:MouseEvent): void {}
  this.gotoAndPlay ("twoIn");
  }

  I want this function to execute when I click a State hit on the main timeline above him. So, how I would trigger the function above with a click on the State of success in the main timeline?

  To help, here is my code for the mouse over the function using the State of success that refers to the external buttons:

  pNextH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, nextOver);

  function nextOver (e:MouseEvent): void {}
  var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip (imageLoader.content);
  MC.btn_next.gotoAndPlay ("nextOver");
  }

  Code of THS I gave calls the nextClick() function that is defined in the main timeline of your loaded swf file, assuming nextClick() is in the main timeline and yourloader is the reference of your charger.
