Say a Movie Clip to play/stop on the main timeline?

I have a main timeline that has a movieclip called "clock". At some point in the main timeline, I want the movieclip to play and at another time, I want him to stop. I can't get the script to control the movieclip.

Any tips?

I thank very you much for your time.

Large. Thank you.

I set the stop on the first frame of the main timeline for all the movie clips and then when I want to play, they play. Wonderful.

Thanks a lot for your time for such a basic question.

  • 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!

    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!

  • Problem with Play Pause AS3 button on the main timeline

    I was wondering if someone can help with this? Have tried to create a play/pause for the main timeline button in my flash movie.

    Created a clip with 1 frame - a chart of the break, and then on the 2nd frame - game graphics, labeled 'pause' and executives 'play' consecutively and put a stop action on the first frame of the movieclip.

    Then put the following code in the layer actions on the main timeline (and gave the name of "ppBtn" instance of movieclip):

    var pp:Boolean = true;


    function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {}

    {if (pp)}

    Stop();

    event.target.gotoAndStop ('pause');

    pp = false;

    } else {}

    Play();

    event.target.gotoAndStop ('play');

    pp = true;

    }

    }

    ppBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, ppState);

    He works at the stopping and starting of the film but the real movieclip is not switch between the break and the game graphics (a few stays on the framework - 1st of 'pause' State). Any help in this very appreciated!

    Thank you

  • stop the main timeline in AS3

    I searched the forum and maybe to find relevant solutions, but I still don't understand. How to make simple "stop()", "play()" and check "currentFrame" on the main timeline of an AS3 class file?

    I have an animation of script for Flash AS2 older I'm conversion in AS3 and also import an AS3 swf into.

    Everything works fine, except that I had to remove the "stop()" on the main timeline (if the animation does not loop) and trying to do it from the main .as file in the document.

    I get an error when you try to access the "currentFrame" of the scene.

    HOW CAN I PUT A 'STOP' ON THE MAIN SCENARIO?

    - - - -

    If the banner is your document class, this means that your main timeline must have only 1 frame (because the banner extends Sprite) and this means that it is foolish to check currentFrame and it has no sense to goto any image.

    do you know what you do picking the Sprite class or do you really want banner to extend the MovieClip class?

  • 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);

  • in actionscript 3.0 how do a nested movie clip button go to a section on the main timeline

    I do a site based in flash actionscript 3.0, I have a button nested in its own clip, because I have the button bigger to be able to read what I realized the only way to do it is by creating it as a film clipa nd inside the clip in a button

    I've added an event listener for the button of blog, saying:

    blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, gotoblog);

    function gotoblog(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

    gotoAndStop (2)

    }

    This part of the code it goes to 2nd part of the scenario that it is and stop wich is a version of the origanal symbol breath

    I added a second order on structure 2

    blog.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK.gotoblogpage);

    function gotoblogpage(evtobj:MouseEvent) {}

    gotoAndStop ("blogframe")

    trace ("the blog button has been clicked")

    }

    I have named the blog of symbol and use the name from where will the blog page to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where I run trouble the window output in Flash says "blog button has been clicked" I like it. no errors are accouring why that which is at the playhead does not attend the image "blogframe"? If the button does not work when I click on it the code is correct, I think the problem here is he does not want the read head go to the section I want it. So I gues, my question is, how can we make a button less, a clip interact with the main timeline?

    One way to do this is to target the root timeline...

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

    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.).

  • 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.

  • return to the main timeline of the movie clip

    well on my main script, I have an intro, and then a main menu. in this menu, it goes to a clip, I want to create a "back to main menu" button inside the movieclip that will return a certain group in the main timeline.

    can someone help me in this encoding to use?

    see you soon

    What about the fact that you have a problem with?  Do you know how to code a button? If Yes, you can program the button in the main timeline so that all you have to do a gotoAndStop() command is used...  In the main scenario where there is the mc...

    yourMC.theMCButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMenu);

    function gotoMenu(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    gotoAndStop (menuframe);

    }

  • Movie Clip on the main timeline to control

    I have a button in a mc and I want that he plays on the main timeline, it does, however, when it gets to the last specified image I want to go to another frame.
    Here's my actionscript I was that day.
    on (release) {}
    _root.gotoAndPlay (75);
    }
    Basically I want all my buttons to play 75 weft, however after each button corresponds to a different image that I need to go to play. 75 frame is essentially a transition to other pages. Each page has the same transition. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

    Well, I have a layer called actionscript, which is for my codes. Where you found other ActionScript where I don't know. But thanks for all your help. Whatever it is, problem solved.

  • 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.

  • 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 ();

    }

  • Control the main timeline of a movie via a button in a movie on another level.

    Hello!
    I have two film is at two different levels.
    Level 5 is my base film and I load another movie on top of that in level 10.
    Once the user clicks on a button in the movie to level 10, I would like to animation to level 5 to stop (the animation runs on the chronology of the main root of level 5).

    Once the user clicks a different button in the movie to level 10, I would like the animation in the main timeline of the movie in level 5 again from the moment it was already stopped.
    Is this possible?

    It would be great if someone could help me with this.
    Thank you, midi_ie

    You can't delete this loop of onClipEvent (enterFrame) unless you remove the movieclip to which it is attached. However, you can add an else if statement in your code (in addition to checking the variable Boolean "drag") to check if your _level10 button has been activated.

    and you can delete a slider.onEnterFrame loop, but you probably don't want to do.

    p.s. make the loop enterFrame?

  • Nested movie meets with the main timeline?

    I am very new to actionscript 3.0 (and actionscript in general also) so it can be done easily.

    My main timeline has two frames. On the first image on a button will take users to the #2 chassis. When the #2 chassis is played, a clip that takes up most of the screen is displayed. Now, is there a button to return to the #1 frame in the main timeline, leave in the movieclip on frame #2.

    How can I get the button "return to the #1 section" to work in the movieclip on frame #2? I guess the button must speak to the main timeline (or something like that), but not really sure.

    Thanks in advance!

    put this on the last image in this clip. I'm assuming that your button has an instance name, my_btn.

    my_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClicked);
    function btnClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {}
    MovieClip (this.parent) .gotoAndStop (1);
    }
