• What is the relationship between the main timeline and timelines of symbol in Adobe Flash Professional CC?

  I am new to Adobe flash and tried to create an E-card for a class. My teacher said that it is better just to have a keyframe for each layer in the main timeline and do all the clips of animation and film on the deadlines of each symbol. I'm having a hard time to understand how it works. To illustrate my confusion, let's start with an example.  I have a kite I want to start flying to frame 20. The kite is a symbol, so I create movement to 20 image interpolation in chronology of the wing. 20 on the symbol Timeline frame occurs at the same time as frame 20 of the MAIN scenario, or are they completely separate instances of time?

  Part of my mission, is should I use code snippets to add an element of interactivity to the Ecard. My confusion about the timeline affects my ability to do so. My teacher said that you need a stop on the first keyframe code to make sure that things will not start before you click the play button. Can I put the stop action on the main timeline or in the timeline of each symbol, or both?  Let's say I want to create a button that makes the kite flies when I click it. Where to play action 'go to and play', in the Assembly of the wing?

  I would greatly appreciate any help from the community. I'm the kind of person who needs to understand how things work. I searched for days, watch videos and read articles, but I still need to find a resource that effectively dissolved my confusion on this subject. So if anyone knows of any tutorials that explain how the main timeline and symbol timelines coincide, please share them with me. Thank you very much for your time.

  (P.S. are CC Animate Adobe and Adobe Flash Professional CC the same?)

  Thank you both for responding. Yes, your answers were useful, but a bit Advanced. I hope that you don't mind me asking a few follow-up questions.

  For Pete47-

  So I put my stop() in the main timeline. How the actionscript in the main timeline code works on the chronology of the wing if the two are separate?  Why not put the ActionScript on chronology of the wing? Clearly, there must be an interaction between the main timeline and symbols, right?  When you say "you can drag the symbol on the main timeline and it will run when you start", what do you mean by that? Like GETTING started, in the main timeline or in the scenario of the symbol? As you can see I am very confused by there!

  For Colin.

  I thought that Pete said you want to only have a keyframe in the main timeline. Then, when you said... "you can do it with an interpolation of the main timeline... from the beginning to the final position," why would you animate the motion on the main timeline? Why not in the chronology of the wing, can create another symbol of the tail in this period?

  And if the schedules of chronology and main symbol are separated, how SYNCHRONIZE you together different symbols to their movement to work together? And why should it be like that anyway?

  I am new to the community here, the last thing I want to say because you two sounds very knowledgeable on the Flash. How did you get your start? Did you start by watching the tutorials, read the manual, or something else?

  Once more, you have my abundant thanks for taking the time to help.

• Coding of text within a symbol to invite "play to" on the main timeline

  Using a symbol to prepare my full menu (so it can maintain its own settings/independence, problem solved by your support :)).

  Is it possible for me to code, the text in the prompt symbol buttons to "play to" on the main timeline?

  Thanks for your time!

  Teo

  Hi Kratistoss,

  Thanks for posting. Here's what you need to do:

  (1) go to your Menu called symbol.

  (2) for any text that you want to have a link with a label on the main stage, add an action click by pressing the brackets to the left of the element.

  (3) this should pull up with a bunch of actions, a dialog box, press the click one.

  (4) in the white space, add the following code: () .getStage () sym.getComposition ("whatever_your_label_name_is") .play;

  (5) repeat for each item you want to link to the main timeline.

  It's her!

• 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.

• Symbol animation does not play on the main timeline

  I created a ŒIL on the main stage and then transformed into a symbol of Clip and in that nested some cover eye movements and pupil. If setting it up like this:

  ŒIL

  -top cover

  -bottom cover

  -mask

  -student (student is also a symbol)

  -White

  Once the playback cursor reaches the image where the symbol of the ŒIL begins, the playhead moves through the timeline but any animation nested in a symbol is read. All I see is the static image of the first frame in the nested symbol. I thought that maybe I needed to extend the size of the layer of the EYE on the main stage and add more pictures. I added more pictures that the nested animation had actually and still no animation showed on the main timeline...

  Any thoughts?

  It is expected your wash / play timeline in the ide.  If you test, you should see the animation of your movieclip.

• Trajectory using 3D - OK to the main timeline broken into symbol

  I spent many hours of frustration trying to figure why this is happening. It is totally broken. I need to use a path using 3d in a symbol. Because of the way in which the project is being implemented (flexible), there are several FLAs that must be converted to symbols.

  So when I convert the FLA that contains a path with 3D, the object moves away from the path in the symbol (the 1st framework remains in place, but everything else is off the beaten), even if it remains correct in the main timeline.

  And once I have start to edit the object in the symbol, the object refers to the way ok, as if it had been a weird display problem, but 3D is all wrong - the vanishing from the object point has changed. The same thing if I create the 3D path using the parameters of the tool "global" or "local".

  
  

  What is happening is, of course, the registration point in the symbol, but I was confused by what I saw.

  The reg in the main scenario is at the top left, and he is a symbol. So when executives are pasted into the symbol the reg point moves toward the Center from the position of objects on the stage. So if the scene is 400 x 600, then the reg point moves 200 + and + 300.

  What is happening is that the 3D vanishing point remains numerically identical, so he also moved the reg point. The confusion occurs because objects on the 3D trajectory also move and appear in the wrong place, but the road and the first object remain in the same place. But once any object on the path is published (eg. click an object and it up and down again with an arrow key) they all break the path again. Right now, compared to other objects, but incorrect to the point of leakage.

  If the vanishing point must be reset for the symbol-200 and -300 of its current values. Easy, isn't it?

  Well, no. Because that redefines the vanishing point in the world, and all 3D in the main storyline is the new point of flight, which is different from the scene. And if this symbol is reproduced in the main storyline, the vanishing point will be according to the main scenario and it wll look all wrong again.

  So what you really have to, is to move the point of reg of the symbol to to - 200 and -300. Easy if it is a simple symbol with a couple of short times, but if it is complex, it is not easy.

  You need select several images and drag the end of the selection range to the end of the timeline, and then select all and move + 200 and 300 + to have the reg point at the top left of the area of 'scene '. This can be a real drag when you have a long timeline and you miss a little in the selection range or realize that you have some layers locked, hidden in folders or below the fold.

  WHAT WOULD BE REALLY USEFUL would be to have the ability to simply change the point of a symbol reg digitally. A new extension, perhaps?

• gotoAndPlay with a _mc on the main timeline

  Hello, this is my first post here. Thanks in advance for any help.

  I try to use a button on frame 1 to go to a clip that is located on chassis 1018 (I put the clip on the main timeline on chassis 1018)

  so hand (root) - > 1018-> shipattack_mc-> "endtest.

  I tried to use these commands and some variants of the same thing.

  _parent

  This.

  shipattack.gotoAndPlay('endtest")

  gotoAndPlay ("endtest")

  My main storyline ends at 1018 with a stop() and movieclip 'shipattack_mc' plays his frames 1000 or more.

  I test things towards the end of the shipattack, and a button to jump to the end thank you.

  Thanks for the quick reply, it works perfectly. Odd that my flash instructor could not understand however.

  Is this an official forum? It seems that you answer most of the questions... I was under the impression that it was members of the community at random who contributed. I'm a little reluctant to repost futher questions.

  skip_btn.onRelease = function()

  {

  stopAllSounds();

  _root.sevenclans1.start (60.0);

  trace("shipattack_mc").shipattack_mc;

  _root.gotoAndStop ("end");

• Targeting the main timeline of in a MC

  Hello all, I have this project that basically works like a slide show. I'm doing things common sense and avoid scenes so I am building each slide as a separate and then mc placing them on the main timeline. What I'm trying to do is get the playhead to move forward on the main timeline to the next image once the mc reached its last picture. I found code that works, but it looks pretty ghetto:

  var _root:MovieClip = MovieClip (root)

  stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, Text2);
  function Text2 (myevent:Event): void {}
  _root.gotoAndStop ("slide2");
  }

  I guess I have two questions:

  1. What is the right way to target a frame on the main timeline of in a mc in as3?

  2. the way I do build does make sense, or is there a better solution?

  Thanks for reading!

  This code is an accident waiting to happen.  An ENTER_FRAME event is raised repeatedly, at the rate of the file.  This does not mean that it looks like... such As... When something enters a ' framework' everything you need instead of this code is to put the following line in the last image of the mc...

  MovieClip (root) .gotoAndStop ("slide2");

  Since you asked on 'clean'... children should not talk back to their parents and tell them what to do.  The good news is that they should be independent and care only for doing what they do. It is the parent to keep an eye on the kids if they are so trend.  The only thing they should do is to know when they are made to the world the fact.  This is done by sending an event.

  If what you're doing are implemented the child to dispatch an event to indicate that they are doing what they are doing (in the last image in your case).

  dispatchEvent (new Event ("imDone"));

  and set up a listener for this child object in the parent of the parent timeline to listen to this event...

  childName.addEventListener ("imDone", eventHandler);

  function eventHandler(event:Event):void {}
  gotoAndStop ("slide2");
  }

• Button on the main timeline control movieclip

  Hello

  I have a stop in my main script. At the stop, I have a play of movieclip. In the movieclip, I'll have a video playback. After playing the video, I have a button for the user to continue playing until the end of the movieclip. Once the movieclip is done, I want back the return to a specific image in my main script.

  I can't figure out how to make this work. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  Paul

  How much of what you just described in currently working properly?

  If it's just the last step to have the game finished main scenario the movieclip, then you might have an event listener assigned to this movieclip in the main timeline.  When the movieclip ends it can send an event of this listener that can trigger an event handler function in the main timeline to tell the main scenario for continued as planned.

  Another less glamorous but more compact approach might be to have a drive inside / at the end of the movieclip to order the main scenario of an act using something like...

  MovieClip (parent) .gotoAndPlay (whatever);

• Playing several clips video one after the other on the main timeline

  Excuse the probably simple question but I'm just starting with Flash.

  I imported a few trailers directly in flash and saved as video clips.

  I want to be able to insert these clips on the main timeline and play one after the other, by repeating once they all played.

  In the main timeline, I put one layer for each clip and a keyframe where the clip is inserted for each layer.

  When I go to play the flash file, is to show the first frame of each movie file and before the first frame of the next movie file.

  What should I do to make the entire movie file flash game in this specific context before moving on to the next section where is the following file in the sequence, then to play all this film?

  Sorry for what is probably a simple thing to ask.

  Thank you

  Create a new layer actions on the timeline stop() and the main square. commands on this layer in each frame where resides a movieclip.

  In each clip, at the end (last image) you mean the main timeline to play(); While it moves to the next section (where it stops because of the stop() commands you add).

  If at the end of each movieclip you put either:

  AS2: _parent.nextFrame ();

  for AS3: MovieClip (parent) .nextFrame ();

  For the last movieclip in programming, you will replace nextFrame() by gotoAndStop (1);

• Targeting of evil to a button on the main timeline for a VideoEventComplete at work

  I have a .fla file that has buttons on the main timeline that target frames in a mc named 'pages' in a table.  The 'pages' are implemented in the form of frames each five images or as a slide show where the buttons advance or return to the previous page.  I want to make invisible buttons until frame 30 video is complete (page 4).  When I insert the code below in the main timeline, the button becomes invisible, but there is no event that will finish to come back only to show the button so it sits right there with no way to advance as the buton is invisible,

  Then... How to target the button to only be invisible when it has an event video complete but not not start before 30 (page 4) image of the mc and then do it again in the 35 framework etc.

  I tried to put it in the main timeline and on the frame of the first video.  If I'm on it within the pages don't need to point the code on the main timeline to get code know where are the buttons? Something like main_timeline.nextbtn etc... ?

  The code in the settings:

  Stop()

  Import fl.video.VideoEvent;

  THIS BUTTON IS LOCATED IN THE MAINTIMELINE\\
  nextBtn.visible = false;
  addEventListener (VideoEvent.COMPLETE, doNextFrame);

  function doNextFrame(e:VideoEvent):void {}
  nextBtn.visible = true;

  pages.nextFrame)
  }

  All the code is:

  THE CODE of the MAIN SCENARIO is:

  Listeners of button

  import of flash.media.SoundMixer;// it comes to the

  
  nextBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, nextSection);
  prevBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, prevSection);

  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  function nextSection(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  
  var thisLabel:String = pages.currentLabel; Gets the current image under chain tag
  var thisLabelNum:String = thisLabel.replace ("sct", ""); cut the main letters off the number
  var curNumber:Number = Number (thisLabelNum); Converts this string to a real number number
  If (curNumber < 18)
  
  {
  
  var nextNum:Number = curNumber + 1;
  pages.gotoAndStop ("sct" + nextNum);
  
  }
  
  SoundMixer.stopAll (); Place it inside your functions

  }
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  function prevSection(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  
  var thisLabel:String = pages.currentLabel; Gets the current image under chain tag
  var thisLabelNum:String = thisLabel.replace ("sct", ""); cut the main letters off the number
  var curNumber:Number = Number (thisLabelNum); Converts this string to a real number number
  var prevNum:Number = curNumber - 1; subtract 1 from the number, so we can go to the next image tag
  pages.gotoAndStop ("sct" + prevNum); This allows us to go to the previous image tag
  
  SoundMixer.stopAll (); Place it inside your functions

  
  }

  Please Note: it started in a previous discussion, but I think that I was confused that the question so go fresh here, thank you so much for the time on this

  I can't say I'm immune to be confused by the story you tell, but I'll take a stab to offer what could be a solution.  If the buttons are in the main scenario and the code that you want to make visible with in a movieclip which lives on the main timeline, then you can target the buttons from inside and using movie...

  MovieClip (parent).nextBtn.visible = true;

  MovieClip (parent).prevBtn.visible = true;

• Button inside a clip controlling the main timeline

  Hello-

  I have a clip on the main stage - inside that movie clip is a button - I want that button to contol a function on the main timeline.

  example: the Script button

  closeAll_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);

  function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  
  * do not know what to put here to activate "closeAllOpenMovieClips" on the main stage *
  

  
  }

  example: main stadium Timeline Script

  function closeAllOpenMovieClips (): void {}
  trek_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  lost_arts_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  rain_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  vintage_mc.gotoAndStop (1);
  }

  
  

  do not know if I need a script more on chronology of main stadium that comes "from function."

  Thank you - Ben L

  If the button is in part 2, then the event listener so that it must be well on frame 2... or you could make the button visible/invisible betrween frames 1 and 2).

  But if you want to head back to your original approach...

  closeAll_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);

  function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  MovieClip (root) .closeAllOpenMovieClips ();

• functions in the document class when the main timeline reached a framework

  Hello

  I have 3 functions in my document class main I want to run when the main timeline reaches a specific frame number.

  How do I do that?

  See the code and comments

  public void mainClass()

  {

  //stage declaraction

  stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

  stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

  stage.addEventListener (Event.RESIZE, stageResized);

  wrap these next 3 lines in an if statement so maintimeline currentframe = x

  position().

  loadXml();

  initArrowButtons();

  slideTimer = new Timer (timer_delay);

  slideTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide);

  }

  You can always know what the current picture is by reading currentFrame peoperty:

  public function mainClass() {     addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);}
  
  private function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void {     switch(currentFrame) {          case 1;              frame1Function();          break;
