Auto jump to frame

I have a 24 buttons on frame 1 of a scene. Button 1, 'on
release', goes to frame 2 where it plays a Movie clip called
'Benzoom'. Upon the last frame of Benzoom i'd like the play head to
return to frame 1 of the scene so the user can select one of the
other 24 buttons. Can anyone tell me what code to use to do this -
i'm presuming it needs to go in the last frame of Benzoom rather
that the button that sends the user to Benzoom?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks, Rich.

Hi, this is the original poster. I had to create a different
account as the previous one had strange things happening to it!
fojool-br,
On Frame 1 of Scene 1 there is a button linking to Frame 1 of
Scene 2
On Scene 2 Frame 1 there is a button that links (maybe
there's a better word than links?) to Frame 2 of Scene 2.
On Frame 2 of Scene 2 there is a movie clip called 'Benzoom'
I want the playhead to jump back to Frame 1 of Scene 2 when
it reaches the last Frame of 'Benzoom'
I hope that makes it clearer for you.
Not sure Michaeltowse, i'm using CS3 if that's what you mean?
Thanks dzedward,
I inserted, _parent.gotoAndStop(1); in the last frame of
Benzoom but that took me to Frame 1 of Scene 1 rather than Frame 1
of Scene 2. There is a button link from Scene 1 to Scene 2 if that
makes a difference? Benzoom sits on Frame 2 of Scene 2. Do you have
any other ideas? Thanks again for your help so far.
Rich.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Auto-jumping to email account after 3.0?

After having installed 3.0, when I get a new email and open up the email app, it auto-jumps from the account list straight into one of my mail inboxes. I think it's trying to jump straight to the new mail message, but I've had it jump to empty accounts, too.
Questions:
Is this a new feature of 3.0, or is it a bug that only I'm experiencing? Assuming this was done on purpose, is there any way to disable it?

Hi Guys, i have worked out what it was, in exchange 2007 the active sync policy had require password un-ticked but had options selected for minimum password length, number of failed attempts etc ticked. Now these should not have been applying as the require password was unticked which blanks everything else out, so i ticked require password and cleared all the options then unticked require password again.
This has solved the problem and i have an active exchange mailbox synch with the never auto lock enabled.
Hope this helps Guys.
Chris.

Give the FLVPlayback component instance name "player" and
place the following action on the timeline frame:
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) {
trace("done Video");
//some action here....
//an example of url call after video is done playing
gotoAndStop(2);});

Why does every other click jump one frame wrong?

Hi, my name's nicole and I am having difficulty with a simple
flash portfolio.
I have six button symbols on scene 1 of a flash document.
Each button is associated with ActionScript 3.0 to jump to one of
six frames in scene one. What's strange is when you are say on the
home page and click the home page the button makes you jump just
one frame forward in the animation. I've used this code before and
am perplexed, can you help me?
Here is the code in frame one:
stop();
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);
function goHome(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(this.currentFrame);
switch (this.currentFrame) {
case 1 :
case 2 :
case 3 :
case 4 :
case 5 :
case 6 :
gotoAndPlay(1);
break;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto1);
function goto1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(this.currentLabel);
switch (this.currentFrame) {
case 1 :
case 2 :
case 3 :
case 4 :
case 5 :
case 6 :
gotoAndPlay(2);
break;
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto2);
function goto2(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(this.currentLabel);
switch (this.currentFrame) {
case 1 :
case 2 :
case 3 :
case 4 :
case 5 :
case 6 :
gotoAndPlay(3);
break;
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto3);
function goto3(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(this.currentLabel);
switch (this.currentFrame) {
case 1 :
case 2 :
case 3 :
case 4 :
case 5 :
case 6 :
gotoAndPlay(4);
break;
btn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto4);
function goto4(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(this.currentLabel);
switch (this.currentFrame) {
case 1 :
case 2 :
case 3 :
case 4 :
case 5 :
case 6 :
gotoAndPlay(5);
break;
btn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goto5);
function goto5(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace(this.currentLabel);
switch (this.currentFrame) {
case 1 :
case 2 :
case 3 :
case 4 :
case 5 :
case 6 :
gotoAndPlay(6);
break;
Thanks so much.
Nicole

If each of these pages are one frame apart from each other,
then you are better off using gotoAndStop().
If you gotoAndPlay() the same frame you're already in, it
doesn't go anywhere so it will play from the frame your in because
any stop() that may be in the frame is already used up. It's a
confusing thing to explain, so hopefully you get it... the goto is
gone to already, and with nothing to stop it, it will play.

My pages stopped scrolling with cursor keys after upgrading to 5.0, the cursor moves WITHIN html documents and "jumps" from frame to frame and character to character within the frame.

Recently, I noticed that google search pages stopped scrolling. There is an "right arrow" at the beginning of each link. When I press the cursor "up/down" arrow on the keyboard, the cursor jumps from link to link. Also, while on any html webpage, the cursor moves one character at a time (left / right arrow) and one line at a time (up/down arrow) until the end of that frame is reached, it then jumps to the next frame.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

How to jump 10 frames ahead on timeline

I know I can hold the SHIFT key and hit the right arrow and move my playhead ahead one second
on the timeline, but is there a way to make your playhead jump in 10 frame increments?
Thanks

You're right. That does work. Thank you. But it's an awful lot of buttons to hit just to jump the playhead 10 frames ahead.
Is there no other shortcut? I was hoping that since holding SHIFT and hitting the right arrow let you jump the playhead in 1 second increments, there might be something similar to continuously jump in 10 frame increments?

GUI way to jump between Frame Labels?

I have a Flash movie with 15 frame labels over a long span in
a timeline. Is there a menu or palette that shows these label names
that lets me jump to specific ones (like Director)?
I checked out the Movie Explorer and didn't see the label
names, only frame numbers and various tweens, a lot of stuff. I
read in the Help and searched this forum for this answer.
Thank you for any advice or help.

Movie Explorer does show labels. Maker sure the FRAME button
is pressed.
(Show Frames And Layers, right next to the one which looks
like CD)
Tho, this won't work across multiple scenes, per single
timeline only.

Auto starting scrolling frame

Scrolling frames are great but cannot be autostarted. That means something like a long movie credit list, as far as I understand, can only be a movie that I prepare in Flash and takes a lot of memory.
I also tried via an external html page that does trigger scrolling text automatically in my browser, but the import into DPS does not work.
Unless I am maissing something?
Thanks

I'm trying to do the same (auto start a scrolling frame), but am having trouble as well. I've tried the <marquee> html tag and it works when I preview the html in my browser (Firefox) and works in the Adobe DPS desktop content viewer. However, it does not work on the iPad.
My current work around is to create the scrolling animation in Hype and import it as a local html file. Unfortunately, the scrolling animation in Hype has some jumpy spots.

Pause & Jump to Frame

Automatically jump to frame

I'm trying to get my flash movie to play a movieclip and then
automatically jump to another frame without clicking a button. Is
that possible?

Ok. Thanks again for your help. I feel like I'm getting
closer.
So, with that code:
If there is a stop(); on the action layer in the last frame
of the movie clip, then the movie clip plays but doesn't
automatically jump to the frame (box_frame) I'd like it to when
it's done playing.
If there is not a stop(): on the movie clip, then the movie
clip keeps repeating and still doesn't automatically jump to the
frame (box_frame) I'd like it to when it's done playing.
Does that make sense? Thank you again so much for taking the
time to help!

Option to auto-resize text frame vertically?

Hi,
Sometimes I don't know exactly how tall a text frame is going to be or I just want to get some text on the page quickly without drawing it out exactly. I was wondering if there was an option to auto-resize the text frame vertically as you type. Has anyone heard of such an option? Thanks!

Jump to frame to create a sort of loop

Hello and thanks for reading.
I'm currently having this problem: I'm making a flash game that includes talking interactions between the playable character and NPCs. What I want is a way to get the NPC to blink every once in a while if the player remains in the same screen.
In other words, I want to create a sort of 'loop', for example, in frames 1-5, with the character blinking during frames 4 and 5. I've already asignated buttons so that the player can get out of the 'loop', but I'm having trouble in getting from frame 5 back to frame 1. At first, I used
gotoAndPlay(1);
but it just kept crashing, until an error telling me to use onClipEvent popped up. I decided to try it, not really knowing how to in this particular case, and of course it didn't work. So basically, I'm out of ideas, since I know only the basics of AS 2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Create the blinking activity as a separate movieclip and tell it to play thru whenever you wish to have a blink occur. You could use a timing mechanism such as setInterval or setTimeout to tell that movieclip to play periodically.
