Action script (if/else) HELP

hello
I have this code in my time line
[quote]:
var som:Sound;
som = new Sound();
som.loadSound(&quot;musica.mp3&quot;);
som.start(0,9999);
som.setVolume(20);
_root.btsom_mc.onRelease = function(){
var identifica:Number = 0;
if(identifica == 0){
som.stop();
identifica = 1;
}else{
som.start(0, 9999);
identifica = 0;
[/quote]
when i click the button it loads the sound above the one is
playing.. it does not see that the sound is allready playing..
can someone help me???
thanks

Hi again!
1. var identifica:Number = 0; has to be outside function
2. check that you have spelled identifica correctly
everywhere in your version of the code as this is the only possible
thing that would make the exact results you are having happen.
3. Try this code - instead of a number, booleans are more
effective:

Action Script Buttons Heirarchy Help

This is my first post and im hoping someone out there will be able to help I am a developer in JS and ASP but never learnt actionscript and am completely stuck.
Basically I am using the sliding code from a tutorial i found online, what i want to do is have buttons inside the Content 1, content 2 etc which are basically the pages which are then put into a holder then added to the main scene called CONTENT.SWF, I also have an index.swf which uses a swf loader to bring the CONTENT.swf in, confused yet i am......
The buttons work if i add them to the main scene in Content.swf but not in each of the content1, content2 etc. So i am sure its to do with hierarchy of buttons layers going down or something.
var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;
menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) {
                if (startFlag == false) {
                                startFlag = true;
                                var finalDestination:Number = input._x;
                                var distanceMoved:Number = 0;
                                var distanceToMove:Number = Math.abs(finalDestination-currentPosition);
                                var finalSpeed:Number = .3;

                                if (currentPosition<=finalDestination) {

nav.b6.onRelease = function() {
                menuSlide(contentHold.content3);

Thanks, but that didnt work for me I did manage to get one button working from within the content1 movieclip by using the script below.
on(release){
this._parent._parent._parent.container.loadMovie("video.swf");
Just trying to get the code i posted in my first message to work with a button in content 1. I have tried amending the code on the root page from:
nav.b1.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content2);
TO
this._parent._parent._parent.nav.b1.onRelease = function() {
    menuSlide(contentHold.content2);
STILL NO LUCK the button instance is b1 , I have even tried adding the script directly to a button.....its driving me crazy...thanks for all your help so far..
on(release){
this._parent._parent._parent.contentHold.content2.b1.menuSlide(this._parent);

Help with Nav Bar using Action Script 3

I am a flash NOOB to say the least. Trying to teach myself. Thank God for YouTube! LOL! Anyway, I have build a Nav Bar for a site that has a sliding bar on the bottom of it that follows the mouse. The problem with this nav bar is that when you change pages inside the site, the slider resets back to position X/Y = 0 and you really don't know what page you are on for sure without me having to identify each page in the page body itself.
Does anyone know of a way using action script to have the URL of the page sent to flash and in turn use that URL to set the X and Y position of the slider to the appropriate X and Y of the button on the Nav Bar for the page the user is on?
I have heard of using flash.external.ExternalInterface but now for sure how this really works nor if I can assign it to a variable for reference inside the action script.
Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

The Flash Nav Bar is at the top of each page. But yes, when you click a button inside the flash nav bar it takes you away from your current page and loads a new one. I am trying to tell the swf file which page it is on so I can set the X and Y position of the slider.
You will have to excuse me if I am so noob that I loose any of your replies to this as just as Flash is new to me, so is the lingo.
Thank you for your help. I will research FlashVar but if you have any other ideas then I am open to them.

Action Script?

Hi All,
I have create a Application for transaction VA01. Can anybody tell me how to write Action script ?
Please Help. ASAP.

Hi,
Transaction code for action script is WDK_APPL_REG
1) There you need to register your Variant transaction and specify your floor plan
either QAF or GAF or OIF in Applications.
2) You have to spcify your different Floor Plan States like INI, S01, S01, CFN etc.
3) For Floorplan states you should assign dynpro assignment ( i.e., Program name and screen number ).
4) And u need to assign actions for every state.
5) Next go to Script definition and assign action script and u need to record va01 transaction with SHDB, and submit program, dynpro, bdc filed value in batchinput data.
6) If u want to raise any messages, click on Message Mapping and submit message name and number.
Finally you need to save your action script.
Best Regards,
Vara Prasad.

Flash Newbie needs help with Movie Clips/Action Scripting

Hi -
I'm having a problem with my movie clips playing
simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what I
have done wrong. I'm new to flash, so I may have set something up
incorrectly, but here's what I have so far:
11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 control buttons, each
button with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(85);
Where the number changes in relation to which keyframe the
next movie is on.
I have 10 movies, total, but they are only movie clips,
essentially photo slide shows with audio, made all in the library.
The problem happens when I click on the second or third
button. Not only does the movie that I have selected begin to play,
but all of the previous clips do as well, so it all sounds quite
garbled. I don't know what I am missing in the action script, as my
Action Layer has a stop command on it at each keyframe where there
is a new clip to play.
I have tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid
that doesn't do anything because it is not a "sound file" per se,
playing in the timeline.
I'm at the end of my rope and really need some help in
figuring this one out. My project is hanging in the balance on
this, as I have scripted everything else correctly and it runs
beautifully.
Please help!
Thanks,
Caroline

Each layer has a blank keyframe before and after each
movieclip. Each movie clip is at a different frame. Even with the
blank keyframes added, the second video starts to play and then the
first video begins to play. Same happens if I click on the third
button. Third plays, and starts 1st and 2nd shortly thereafter. Is
there an action script I can put in that will tell the timeline
that, when a button is clicked, no matter where the movieclip is,
it will stop and start the newly selected movieclip?

Flv xml Stream Playlist action script help

So if you go to this site:
click here
you will see a FLV player that has a list of videos that are
pulled from a .xml file...
The action script for this player is as such:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
rewindButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
playButton.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
var videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;
ns["onMetaData"] = function(obj) {
duration = obj.duration;
function videoStatus() {
amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded / ns.bytesTotal;
loader.loadBar._width = amountLoaded * 194.5;
loader.scrub._x = ns.time / duration * 194.5;
var vlist:XML = new XML();
vlist.ignoreWhite = true;
vlist.onLoad = function() {
var videos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<videos.length;i++) {
videoList.addItem(videos
.attributes.desc,videos.attributes.url);
ns.play(videoList.getItemAt(0).data);
videoList.selectedIndex = 0;
var vidList:Object = new Object();
vidList.change = function() {
ns.play(videoList.getItemAt(videoList.selectedIndex).data);
videoList.addEventListener("change",vidList);
vlist.load("videos.xml");
I want to action script something that will make the videos
play one after the other, get rid of the list on the right and have
buttons on player that allow you to go to the next/previous video
listed in the .xml file
Its sort of like the player at
click
here
I know this is a lot to ask, but I am currently in a jam and
any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
Matthelm88

gotoAndLearn is a fantastic base to build off of.
but
i'm looking for the same thing... how do you get the files
to play one after another?
i've looked for everyhting ns. related and i can find any
doc's on this one.
i 've found the
function complete_listener(eventObject:VideoEvent):void {
if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "rentv1.flv") {
my_FLVPlybk.play("rentv2.flv");
else if (my_FLVPlybk.source == "rentv2.flv") {
my_FLVPlybk.play("rentv3.flv");
on the flash video live docs.. but i can't find anything on
how to tie it into the XML.
anything anyone can offer would be a huge help ...

Help with action script please

hay guys, im having trouble with changing my action script to
allow multiple layers of the same thing in order to show a greater
sense of depth than the normal application. im using a flash
toutorial on making a sort of matrix like falling text (
link)
and im not completely understanding what to change in order to
accomplish my goal. i tryed to send them a message using their
contact page, but its broken, forcing me to find a forum. im sure
it has something to do with the third group of code where it
identifies what its using. but whenever i change anything there to
either match the identifiers or movie clip names the action script
crashes when i test the movie. any help is appreciated.
im using flash cs3 and made sure to create it all in action
script 2.0
please excuse my spelling, im sure i made a mistake
somewhere.

Why in the world would you do that when you can just put a
keyframe on the last frame and ..
loadMovie("myMovie.swf");

Thanks so much for the help.

You should be able to add that data into your xml tags and then extract it in the AS2 onLoad function...
XML:
<icons>
<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="Planning" linkURL="http://www.someURL.com/somePage.html" />
AS2:
xml.onLoad = function()
etc....
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
t.urlLink = nodes[i].attributes.linkURL;
etc...

Action Script Help (Flash 8 ONLY)

My department currently has a host of training videos we use
for online courses. Of course, these are all being delivered as
FLVs. Through the Developer's communities, I found a script that
allowed me to add a caption file to the video (XML).
Now I'd like to take it to another level. I'd like to be able
to have my one SWF player play a series of FLVs AND include the
caption file. I began to look at using an Array, but have not been
successful in making it work. I'm not too sure, but I think the way
I coded it started to affect the video - started getting "stuck" at
times. Another attempt caused the caption file from the previous to
be seen in the current video.
I have attached my script and would appreciate any
assistance.
Finally, I need to stick to a Flash 8 and Action Script 2.0
solution. I realize that Flash 9 and Action Script 3.0 would be
helpful, but our district PCs are all imaged with a Flash 8 player.
Sorry.
Thank you for your help.

Whatever approach you take will depend heavily on the document(s) you have for the bible element of the design. You somehow need to be able to seek within it and determine where matched elements can be found and how to extract the information you intend to present.
I don't think your issue currently lies with how to do this in Flash as much as first coming up with a gameplan that identifies the players and how you can interact with and within them.

Help with Action script 2.0 please

Hi,
I am new to actionscript and i could really do with some help
please. I am trying to load external movie clips into two different
containers depending on which button is clicked. Sometimes there
may be two conatiners attached to a buuton click, whilst other
buttons may only need to load one movie clip. Here is the action
script i have been using:
button1.onPress = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 2);
unloadMovie("container1");
loadMovie("scene2.swf", "container");
loadMovie("scene5.swf", "container1");
container._x = 50 ;
container._y = 110 ;
container1._x = 170 ;
container1._y = 5 ;
button2.onPress = function () {
loadMovie("scene6.swf", "container");
unloadMovie("container1");
container._x = 50 ;
container._y = 110 ;
This does load the movies, however i have to press button one
first before button two will work. Ideally i need to be able to
call any movieclip at any time. Can anyone tell me where i am going
wrong?

Try moving these lines outside of the button function:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container1", 2);
You can use "this" instead of "_root"... that'll save any
problem if you ever move this within some other movie. Also, move
the x/y assignments just under those lines since they relate to
them directly.
Hey thankyou for your help, that works now. although if i
move the x and y assignments i would have to create another
container right? Thanks again for your help.

Could someone help me with my action script?

I followed a tutorial on how to make an interactive photo gallery but for some reason the file isn't working. I am new to flash and no very little about action script.
Would someone be willing to take a look at my file and advise me?
Thanks

Did your tutorial have you download XML from a server to feed the images to the gallery? Many people forget to check for errors loading the XML file or forget to "do something" once the XML is loaded. Common things not to look for are IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR or SecurotyErrorEvents warning you the XML you're trying to load is on a different domain (a webserver online) and it doesn't have permission (a crossdomain.xml).
In those situations it can appear like it's doing nothing.
Did you just take the code of the tutorial at the end and try to play it as you went through the tutorial? If you just copy and pasted it all you'lre going to have a hard time isolating the issue. In that case you can always re-do the tutorial until you start to see issues. Then you know where they are.

Help with adding action script to an order form

Hi - Firs time I'm on this board. Searched and didn't see
anything that fit. Adobe/Macromedia Support told me my form needs
an action script insert for me to gain access to a previous page.
I'm revamping an online order form. It's about 2 1/2 pages in
length. I find that I can't go back to the first page -- I'm locked
in the second one. On split screen the HTML coding shows there is
more than one page. Also, when I look at it in a browser the whole
page is there.
Does anyone know how and where I can put in action script.
I'm not an HTML maven so this isn't my thing. Thanks for whatever
advice you can give.
Best - ETide

Help with action script 2.0

I'm a beginner with flash. I created a flash file on my own.
I also created a flash file using a slideshow program. Generally I
like this program. I can insert them into my html with no problem.
I want to load the slideshow.swf file into an empty movie
clip in the flash file I created called products.swf. It works fine
using
loadMovie("slideshow.swf", call_mb_slideshow); (where
call_mb_slideshow is a empty movieclip.)
as long as the all the files are in the same folder. But, I
need the products.swf file with the empty movieclip to be in the
parent folder AND I need the slideshow.swf and the slideshow.xml
file to be in a child folder call musicbox_slideshow. When I change
the code to this:
loadMovie("musicbox_slideshow/slideshow.swf",
call_mb_slideshow);
It loads the slideshow.swf file into the movieclip fine, BUT
it doesn't know where to find the slideshow.xml file that loads the
pictures into the slideshow. It looks for it in the parent folder,
not the child folder.
How do I write the script in products.swf so that it knows
where the slideshow.xml file is? I cannot change the slideshow.swf
file code in any way. I need to do it from products.swf.

I can use this code from html. I'm able to say where the swf
and xml file are. I just don't know how to do this using action
script.
