Simple loop on the main 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!

• 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?

• Close button in an interpolation that takes back you to the main timeline

  I have a HTML5 canvas document that has 5 separate click to open the motion tweens.  Within each tween, I have a "close" button that I want to return at the beginning of the main timeline.  Right now he's just at the beginning of the timeline to tween movement in an infinite loop.  How can I get to go back to the main scenario for each of the interpolations of?  (For reference, I am a beginner with Animate and JS code and have not been able to find this answer in my many searches on the web).

  you want that code in the main timeline to lead the scenario primary back to its first image and stop, or you want to code on the timeline of a movieclip lead the main timeline at its first image and stop or something else?

  If you want the code on the timeline of a movieclip to lead the main timeline, use:

  this.parent.gotoAndStop (0);  assuming that the parent of the movieclip is the main timeline.

• 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.

• 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?

• 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);

• 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?

• Link to the main timeline (scene 1)

  Well, this seems like it should be very basic, commonly done and simple, but I can't understand it! I have a simple put in place with a layer containing a few images with image tags. Each image tag has a clip. When the first clip from the movie ends, I want the playback head to return to the main timeline and play the next frame marked frame depending on which contains the next clip. Sounds pretty basic, but I'm new to Flash. Here's what I put at the end of the first MC:
  gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", "NomÉtiquette");
  What Miss me? Thanks flash gurus.

  do not use the information scene in navigation and not use the goto functions. Use the goto methods and labels of image (or numbers):

• How to call a function within a movieclip on the main timeline in CC animate canvas?

  Hello world...

  In AS3: Function (fnc name: myFunction) inside a Movieclip (mc1). I'll call you timeline mc1.myFunction ();

  But how to call AnimateCC canvas?

  If you have an instance of MovieClip named "mc" with the following code in to:

  This.Fun = function() {}

  Alert ("Hey!");

  }

  You can call this function (increased to 'this' within the MC) using the oon following the main timeline:

  var root = this;

  this.mc.addEventListener ("click", function() {}

  Console.log (root.mc.fun ());

  });

• 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.

• 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.).

• Go to a function on the main timeline of the timeline of the object

  Hello

  I have an object on the stage, MovieClip, with an animation inside.

  The animation is called from a class file.

  I would like to call for a function, addBubbles, when the animation of the MovieClip is completed.

  The function, addBubbles, is described in the main timeline, in the first picture.

  But I would like to call from inside this MovieClip, and write the code in the last image.

  How should I reference, so it would work?

  Both ways would be to use just...

  MovieClip (root) .addBubbles ();   OR MovieClip (parent) .addBubbles ();

  Another way would be to have the MovieClip to dispatch a custom event for which you have a listener assigned in the main timeline.  This listener in the main storyline would have an event handler function that calls the addBubbles function.

• 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.

• 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);
