"Exit" in director is ? in Flash

Another in my series of "switching from Director to Flash" questions.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
1. Allow the user to type a new in an Input Text box.
2. If the number is from 1 to 12, go to the "input" frame
3. If the number is not from 1 to 12, tell them to type a number from 1 to 12 and give them another chance.
Here's the problem. If the user types a anything that is not a number from 1 to 12, when they try again and type a number from 1 to 12, the Input Text box is cleared, and program does not advance to the "input" frame. I'm guessing that I need to exit the If/Else. In Director, I'd type "exit". What do I do for Flash?
txt_defNumber.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown)
var Term = ""
var Definition = ""
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {   
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)  {         
    var gNumber = txt_defNumber.text;
    if (gNumber == "1") {
        Term = "value"
        Definition = "A number and unit that together represent the result of a measurement or calculation, e.g. 100 meters."
        gotoAndPlay("input");
    } else if (gNumber == "2")  {
        Term = "unit"
        Definition = "A defined quantity based on a standard, e.g. meter."
        gotoAndPlay("input");
    } else {
        txt_incorrect_number.text = "Please type a number from 1 to 12."
          //What goes here?

use:
txt_defNumber.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown)
var Term = ""
var Definition = ""
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
    if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.ENTER) {
        var gNumber=Number(txt_defNumber.text);
        if(gNumber>=1 && gNumber<=12){
            gotoAndPlay("input");
        } else {
            txt_incorrect_number.text="Please type a number from 1 to 12.";
        }//What goes here?

  • Load a director level into flash // is it possible?

    Hi,
    I am planning a complex system where eventually users will need to do immersion into 3rd dimension and also play lots of flash quizz.
    I know director can load flash which makes it obvious choice for development but coding in lingo (a non POO language) maybe a little bit of regression looking the average age of the development team that iam building. So looking forward, i wonder if it's possible to make flash load director levels.
    Thank you

    Venian,
    Director used to be considered flash's big sister: http://www.adobe.com/products/director/
    Btw i just found out that you can use javascript within Director making it then perfect choice for my project.

  • Exit from Director with error code

    Hi all!
    How can I exit from director with specifyed error code by
    using lingo or JavaScript syntax?
    I want to catch its error code in batch file for example to
    do something special.
    Sample batch file I want to use:
    myprojector.exe
    if %ERRORLEVEL% == 10 goto GO_TO_SOMETHING_WRONG
    But now, by default director quit with error code 0.
    Thanks in advance

    I don't know of any way to do that, but you could get the
    projector to
    create a (zero byte) file if there's an error and in the
    batch file check
    for the existence of that file. (Not forgetting to delete
    that file, if it
    exists, when the projector starts.)

  • Can I import Director movies into Flash?

    Hi,
    Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
    of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
    movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
    MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf an ddir
    movies. Does it work for the reverse?
    Thanks
    Uti

    No, you can't import or display Director movies in Flash in
    any way. Best
    you can do is launch the Director executable from the Flash
    movie, though
    how you do this depends on which version of Flash you are
    using.

  • Using Director projector inside Flash

    I have a Director projector from a project I did a few years
    ago but no longer have the .dir file. I want to be able to display
    it on my website. Flash won't let me import the .exe directly. Is
    there any way I can launch the .exe using ActionScript, or maybe
    import the projector into a new Director file and publish it as a
    shockwave file? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    > Flash won't

    using
    > ActionScript,
    No, you can't import any sort of Director content into Flash.
    Come to that,
    with very good reason, you can't 'launch' an EXE from a
    browser at all. In
    Flash, create a link to the file, which will then allow users
    to download
    and run it.
    > maybe import the projector into a new Director file and
    > publish it as a shockwave file?
    No, you can't do that either I'm afraid. I don;t know of
    anything that will
    decompile Director projectors, and you can't import
    executables into
    Director.

  • Can we import a Director movie into Flash ?

    I'm exploring a possibility of importing a Director movie into Flash or if it is possible to import a published Director movie into Flash.
    Anticipating your reply....
    Thanks,

    As I may have mentioned in the other thread where you asked this, No.  You can not.  You can import a flash swf into Director but you can not import anything from Director into Flash.

  • Importing Director movies into Flash

    My short Q, which I suspect is a FAQ though it doesn't appear
    on the Director or Flash FAQs on the Macromedia (sorry, Adobe ;-))
    site, is: how can you import Director movies (source .dir, or
    published .dcr) into a Flash movie?
    I had thought this would be simple, that Flash would have an
    import filter for Shockwave movies, as after all both products come
    from the same stable and you can import .swf movies into Director,
    but not so, at least in my copy of Flash 8. Neither can Director
    export as a .swf - the only export format that might just work is
    .avi but I'm damned if I want to create a big video file just to
    reuse a snippet from a Director movie. I did a quick Google search
    for DCR->SWF converters but couldn't see anything obvious to
    use.
    The reason I'm bothered about this is that we've produced a
    lot of e-learning material in Director (a good third of our
    learning objects at
    http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/rlolist.html
    use Shockwave movies) and although we've now moved on to Flash,
    occasionally we want to be able to reuse snippets from Director
    movies in Flash movies. It would be disappointing, to put it
    mildly, were we not able to move content between software
    applications produced by the same company...
    TIA for any answers/suggestions.
    Cheers

    I feel your pain an don't know what's going to happen with
    Director now that Adobe is involved.
    You mentioned that you could export as avi, could you copy
    the scenes in which you want to use into a new director file,
    export that as an avi and conver t that to an flv?
    Just a thought.

  • Director 11 for Flash

    An old question but as 11 is about to be released I thought
    I'd ask.
    I have several interactive movies made in Director I'd like
    to import or use in a Flash project.
    With 11 will there be a way to to use the director files I
    have made in Flash?

    Hi embalse,
    Exporting to swf from Director would be a complicated feature
    as it would mean
    translating so many things that are outside of Flash, let
    alone the use of Xtras.
    You can put your money on D11 not being any better at
    exporting to Flash than D10.
    The only way you can export to Flash is if you export your
    Director animation as a
    video and then import that into Flash. Of course, that woudl
    remove all
    interactivity,

  • Integrate Director Movie into Flash CS5

    Hi,
    I have couple of interactive media pieces created in Director MX 2004. I would like to know if the latest Flash CS5 can handle
    Director Movies. Kindly advise the best way to create  a portfolio (consisting of Dorector and Flash Movies) that can be showcased in a website
    as well as in a CD-R.
    Also, a tutorial or direction to creating an Adobe Director website whereby the swf movies can be integrated would be useful.
    Any direction would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    You cannot place a Director file inside a Flash - you can put Flash into Director, but not the opposite.

  • Director MX 2004 + Flash MX 2004 - Problema con formulario flash con combos dentro de director

    Buenas,
    He desarrollado una aplicacion con base Director, que lleva
    dentro un
    formulario flash con varios combos tirando del componente
    combobox del
    mismo. Hasta ahora lo habia usado en otras aplicaciones con
    una integracion
    similar sin problemas, pero en este caso me ha surgido algo
    realmente
    extra�o, esto es, si pulso muchas veces en los combos
    hay momentos en los
    que estos se vuelven locos y se quedan como colgados (de
    hecho la aplicacion
    esta como colgada cuando pasa esto). Esto pasa mas a menudo
    en windows 2000
    por no decir la mayoria de las veces, y en XP pasa en
    determinadas
    circunstancias. He probado a quitar el direct to stage del
    sprite flash,
    ademas de quitarle la "animacion" que realiza al desplegarse,
    y creo que en
    xp el problema esta resuelto, pero en win 2000 me parece que
    estamos en las
    mismas.
    El problema es que necesito combos para ese formulario, y no
    me valen los
    que trae Director por defecto, basicamente por el aspecto.
    Tampoco puedo
    permitirme el lujo de cambiar todo el formulario a Director
    aunque usara un
    xtra o un behavior, ya que esto lo entrego ma�ana y
    tengo que matizar mas
    cosas. Alguien ha hecho algo parecido, o ha tenido un
    problema similar?
    Muchas gracias y saludos a tod@s

    Buen dia, el problema que tienes radica en la version de xtra
    que
    utiliza director para mostrar la info que hasta el momento
    esta en la
    version 7, lo que debes hacer es exportar los ficheros a una
    version 7y funcionaran perfectamente.

  • Director Array to Flash Array?

    I'd like to be able to create an array in Director, and then
    pass that array object into Flash and use it there. I can use
    Director to manipulate a Flash array, but I haven't been successful
    in passing an array object.
    Any help?

    If you have the new (at least more recent) Director 10.1
    update with the
    new Flash Asset Xtra, you can use the brand spankin new
    convert() method
    to do just that.
    Here is a technote (pdf) about how to use it:

  • Director 11 and flash cs3 editing

    Hi,
    Since the last version of director, i worked fine with it and
    the feature of flash editing from director (you know, double click
    in flash member and the flash movie opens from director. Then you
    can update from flash in one only click).
    Well, now i've installed dir11 and flash cs3 (without
    uninstall dir10 and flash8, because i know that flash 8 doesn't
    work with dir11, so I'm looked for profiting this feature with the
    old dir10 and flash8 and dir11 and flashCS3). Ok, this feature
    doesn't work anymore. When i try to edit from dir11, flash CS3
    opens the SWF file!!!!. The same occurs with dir10 and flash8!!
    After this, i've tried all possibles combinations,
    uninstalling flash8 and reinstalling flashCS3, and the same with
    directors. Finally, i found that the versions of macromedia
    products doesn't uninstall completely, (even after removing
    manually all the registry references of both products). When i
    uninstall dir10 and then i install dir11, the .dir files is not
    associated with director anymore(even with the rebootings), the
    system ask to me the proper application. The .dir icons are white.
    To solve this, i need reinstall dir10 and the icons back. Then, i
    reinstall dir11 and the icons change properly.
    All this adventure with director versions is just the same
    with Flash 8 and CS3, with one big difference. Now i'm unable to
    install CS3 properly to edit from dir11. All that i get is the SWF
    editing but not the fla, and the .fla icons disappears. Not
    associated anymore.
    I've tried with the CS3 cleaning tool from adobe and
    reinstalling applications, and no success. So, i think that maybe
    the problem can solve doing a complete clean uninstall of
    macromedia programs, but at this time i don't find the way to do
    it.
    I little help is needed, please...
    Thks.

    Thanks, i know this. But this is not the problem. The
    external editor (flash cs3) is located by director, and the path of
    the fla file is correct. Director finds the file but opens the
    swf!!, but the fla.

  • Flash sprite in Director: slow, slow!

    It's not a new problem but maybe there's a new solution?...
    I have a Flash game in a Director projector. The Flash games
    works fine by itself (not embedded in Director), but inside
    Director, everything runs much slower. Is there any ways to speed
    things up?
    Thanks
    Serge

    Yea Flash tends to run a bit slower in director, be sure the
    default
    direct to stage flash member property is set.
    Mx 2004 has an updated flash xtra that runs a little more
    effeciently,
    with an option to run multiple flash sprites in the same
    memory space.
    There's a downloadable director update for flash 8.0
