• Goto frame within a movieclip on the main timeline button

  So what I have is a button (then named) on the main timeline. I have a clip on this framework (on the main timeline) and the clip has 3 images I want to be able to scroll using the "Next" button located on the main timeline. How can I do this?

  Thank you

  assign the movieclip an instance name (in the properties panel - for example, mc) and use:

  Next.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, f);

  function f(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  mc.nextFrame ();

  }

• 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");

• 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);

• 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...

• How to target button in movieclip on the main timeline

  Hello!
  
  I have a few buttons of submenu in a movieclip in the mainline. My first level of navigation in the main timeline. The submenus are grouped into movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the navigation sub except the code for the submenus is located in this movie clip. My instruction trace bed button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know that I need some kind of code _parent in there so that he knows to go to the label back on the main timeline. Can anyone help? I feel like I'm so close.

  Also is this a correct way to set-up? I couldn't figure out how do it in an image. Any help would be so appreciated. I didn't know that this basic framework would be so difficult.

  Here is the link:

  Here is my code which is on the movieclip submenu:
  

  Code:

  stop();
  
  fall.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
  spring.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
  
  function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent){
       //trace shows what's happening... in the output window
       trace ("The "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!")
       //go to the section clicked on...
       gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
  }

  One of the reasons that I never won any price for my vision of the design are because I am often... If it works, use it.  There are many ways to approach a design and yours is very good if you understand.  If she was going to smash something, it would have happened now.  Some people don't go to the extreme of having absolutely no code in a file, some even no content library, he wrote everything in files and class not by necessity, but to simply believe that it is the best way, or a challenge to prove their skills...  They have the it.  He participates a practicality with design that allows to make Judgment calls and if you feel that your approach to design is convenient for what you understand or which meets the needs of the project, then you have the right to follow your own path.

  That said... in the case where a person must inherit from your work somewhere down the road, that's when your approach can be victim of judgment... If someone can not follow, either found it difficult to put all the pieces together, or find them, then you become the contact person for the moans fall that follows.  But you're not likely to have to hear about it.  Yet, one day, if you are in a position where you inherit a person guestroom... and start whining about how they did it, you will come to appreciate the reasons to consider how approach you your designs.

• 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 ());

  });

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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 ();

  }

  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:

• 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?

• 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;
  
            case 2:              frame2Function();          break;
