Go to frame, play a few then load movie?

I am working on a continously playing banner that has 5
different movies. there is a navigation bar below with 5 buttons,
one for each movie. There is also a puase/play button so you can
stop the animation and resume it. What I cant figure out is how to
actionscript the buttons. I need them to jump to a particular frame
in the current movie, play a specific set of frames (the outro
animation sequence), then load the appropriate movie.
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(series of frames???);
loadMovie("movie2.swf", 1);
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm still having trouble grokking it...... Ok so I am
watching the animation, Movie #1 ends and loads Movie #2 and I am
on Movie #1 but I decide I want to jump to movie #4 (there are 5
movies altogether), I click on the button for Movie 4, it then
jumps to the frames I labelled to play the outro, then loads Movie
4.
So in one scenario I can watch all 5 movies in sequence. At
the end of each movie is the frame:
var holder_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
holder_mc.clear();
holder_mcl.loadClip("your_file.swf", holder_mc);
where "your_file.swf" is the next movie in the sequence e.g.
movie2.swf at the end of movie1's timeline.
In the scenario I descfribed above where I want to skip Movie
#3 and jump to movie #4, I use the button code:
on(release){
holder_mc.clear();
gotoAndPlay("movie2outro");
to play my outro, but if I am currently in movie #2, where
loading movie3 is called to load at its end of that timeline, how
can I load movie #4 in a frame in the same timeline?
You can see something similar on the home page for Micron
http://www.micron.com. The big
difference is that my "slide show" plays continuosly (will
autonmatically go to the next "slide") whereas you have to choose a
link on the bottom on the the micron.com one to go to another
slide.
Thanks so much for your help!

  • Controlling main timeline from loaded movie

    I have loaded an external movie onto the main movie in a
    movie clip called "mainholder" - In the main timeline on the main
    movie there is a "stop" command on frame 1. From the loaded movie,
    I want to control the main timeline and tell it to go to frame 2.
    Can someone tell me the actionscripting to do this, I have tried
    several commands and getting frustrated. ;-)
    Thanks

    movies are loaded into levels. The main movie is always
    considered level0 a.k.a _root in the AS. When you load a movie into
    another, the main movie is also considered the parent of that
    loaded movie a.k.a. this._parent in AS where this refers to the
    loaded movie. If you want something in the loaded movie to control
    the main timeline you could call it like this...
    _root.gotoAndStop(2); or _root.gotoAndPlay(2); depending on
    what you want.
    but because of the parent/child relationship, it can also be
    done like this....
    this._parent.gotoAndStop(2); or this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2)
    Although the first method is less to remember, the second
    method proves the most friendly and re-usable. Let me explain...
    Say that you did something like this....
    [MAIN MOVIE]
    [LOADED MOVIE]
    {Loaded Movie with buttons to control LOADED MOVIE}
    Your main movie loads a movie and when this loaded movie
    reaches it's 10th frame, it loads another movie where the buttons
    reside for controlling that clip. If you used _root in the button
    movie, it would cause the main movie (_root) to be called and not
    the LOADED MOVIE as you had intended during its design prior to
    trying to make this new main movie (and it would work as intended
    if you opened the LOADED MOVIE's fla file and exported). If you use
    this._parent in the button movie, it will always make it's calls to
    the LOADED MOVIE's timeline and not the main clips timeline.
    Sorry if this confuses you but it's important to
    understand.

  • TS3623 Why is it when I rent a movie from Apple it takes all night to load & then when I try to play it has to load again? Netflix just takes a few seconds to load & play In the same [Apple ] device !

    Why is it when I rent a movie from Apple it takes all night to load & when I try to play it starts to load again for a while before it plays ? Netflix loads & plays in seconds [ usually] in the same device!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    One of the main reasons this occurs is because Netflix uses a feature called adaptive quality and iTunes uses a fixed quality. Netflix is able to reduce its quality to such an extent when it detects that you have a poor Internet connection that the data rate of the movie is as low as 0.5 Mb per second, on the other hand if you have chosen to view an HD movie from iTunes U have chosen a movie with a data rate as high as 5 Mb per second.

  • Nano Plays a few songs then reboots to main music screen

    This issue not only pertains to the 3rd generation nano but the 4th generations as well.
    I sync my nano 3rd generation to my PC which has all of my MP3 files on it. I have the nano set up so I manually manage music on it. I created playlist in latest version of iTunes 9. Loaded my new playlist and files to my nano. Ejected nano through iTunes. I go to listen to songs with nano now either through headset or in a docking station hooked up to a stereo receiver. Songs start to play then anywhere after either 3, 5, 7, or 10 songs max the iPod nano will finish the latest song playing and you then see apple logo on screen and nano returns to the main music menu. Music has stopped and you have to go back in to select music again for it to start playing. Then it just repeats this cycle. The nano never freezes or anything it just stops playing music, making you start the music playing process all over again.
    I have done the following: Checked for latest iPod updates. I currently have the latest already. I have installed the latest iTunes application. I have restored the nano numerous times. I even reformatted it in vista to a FAT 32 file system then restored it again with iTunes. I have done all of the 5r's apple lists on the support site. I have even shut off the equalizer and shuffle on the iPod with no luck. I know of 2 other people experiencing the same situation on 3 nano 4th generation models. They said they have just grown use to having to live with this and can't figure it out either. I have contacted apple support about the issue and I was told to visit a service center for diagnostics or send it in to apple for repair, that this sounds like a hardware issue.
    Now I own an iPod classic 60 GB and an original iPod 20 GB. Never has an issue at all with playing music. Music always play fine in iTunes too. Others that are experiencing this issue said they too own iPod classics and have no issue with them as well. This is only on their Nano's 3rd and 4th Generation models. I don't know if it affects any of the other nano generations as of yet.

    This is a follow up to my original post about this issue. After pulling my hair out for about a week I finally fixed the issue. I don't know if apple can write either a new Nano update or not to fix this. This is not a hardware issue like a bad drive or anything. This has something to do with the nano program itself I feel.
    Ok let me explain a little about my music files first. I DJ in my spare time and all of my music is digital. I either purchase the cd's, download from iTunes, or from Amazon. I encode my music in MP3 format at 256 kbs stereo using iTunes as my only music management application. I have used iTunes for 5 years now. I am very picky on my music and make sure they are clean legal files. Nothing from free file share sites.
    What I did is I took all those files inside the playlist on my nano with the issues. I converted them all from MP3 format to Apple's AAC format with iTunes. Deleted all of the MP3 files from my Nano and replaced them with the same songs that are now converted in the AAC format. Ejected the Nano and went right to the stereo receiver and tried it out now. WOW Nano plays everything non stop without rebooting to the main music screen. It works now just like it is suppose to. I had it playing for over 3 hours straight with shuffle on and EQ set. Funny how this does not affect the classic models with mechanical drives and you never have an issue in iTunes when you play the playlist in MP3 Format. Only the Nano's. My main DJ software application has never had an issue playing my MP3 file either.
    Most might not have this issue, because when they first get iTunes and a new IPod they usually install everything with Apple's default installation settings. So most systems are set to import as AAC files. But being a DJ and have the high quality MP3's, makes a noticeable difference in sound to me and others. I hope apple can figure this out because it sure would be nice to put MP3's on all of my iPod hardware. So I have to now set up a totally different library for this Nano with nothing but AAC files. I shouldn't have to do this if I have had iTunes encode all of my music in standards that iTunes claims it supports. Hey apple I'll take a free iPod classic for all my frustration on this issue;-)
    I like the iPod products and software for managing music, that is why I still use them. But when you have an issue like this, it drives people like me nuts to get it fixed. So many times people just want to turn a piece of hardware in claiming it is defective, when most of the time, it comes right down to a software issue.
    DJ by Night............IT Tech by Day
    Hope this helps everyone else, like I said I know of 3 other Nano's doing this same thing.
    Good Luck all,

  • HT4743 I downloaded a tv episode. When I press play it starts to load then immediately goes back to the episode page. I've tried rebooting my ipad but that doesn't help. I can't get into my account info from my ipad as suggested.

    I recently purchased a tv episode from ITunes. It shows that it has downloaded. When I press play it starts to load then immediately returns to the episode page. I have tried rebooting several times.

    Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • Play frame for 30 seconds, then gotoAndPlay();

    Ok, I can't figure out how to make this work.  I am working in AS2, and am looking for a code that allows me to stop the frame (which is easy: stop();) and then make that frame "play" if you will for 30 seconds, and then gotoAndPlay("nextframe"). Is this even possible? I know there's a getTimer(); code, but I have no idea how it works.  Any help would be great!
    (I have animations going on in the different frames through movie clips, not on the timeline.  Basically trying to make a "movie" with flash)

    You can use the setTimeout() function to delay calling a function.  In that function you can execute the nextFrame() function call.  Here the example found in the help documents adjusted to your needs...
    var my_timedProcess:Number = setTimeout(my_delayedFunction, 30000);
    function my_delayedFunction () {
        nextFrame();

  • Slow video down to single frame, pause a few seconds, then speed back up?

    I'm working with a video clip where I'd like to show a single frame for a few seconds. I think I can figure out how to slow down the video for a second or two surrounding the desired frame, but I can't figure out how to pause or freeze it at that point.
    I'd like it to be fairly smooth on the slowdown, stop, and start up, I'll also have the audio slow down and stop, I think it will be a neat effect.
    Any good ideas?
    iMac 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I'd like it to be fairly smooth on the slowdown, stop, and start up
    A possibility is to use the Time Remap free filter. Use the default Mode (Variable Speed) and keyframe the Speed control from 100% to 0% on the frame you want still, and back to 100%. You can also use the Smooth contextual command on the 0% keyframe to get a smooth speed change.
    What the filter does not do, though, is to change the audio speed...

  • Rented movies on ATV2, can't play- An error occurred  loading this content.

    When I attempt to play the two movies on ATV (Gen 2) I rented, I receive the error:
    An error occurred loading this content. Try again later.
    No other messages display, and it is not clear what to do next, or how to fix this issue.
    I tried the following to solve:
    - latest updates for ATV (I'm on version 4.2.1(2100))
    - unplugging power, then plugging back in
    - stop "Home Share" on ATV, then turn back on
    - log out of iTunes account on ATV, then log back in
    I've yet to try:
    - reset on the ATV (on the General menu)
    - setting back to factory defaults (on the General menu)
    I have not tried the above two, since the ATV is 2 days old and honestly did not think I needed to do this.
    I have two Windows computers, one with Vista, one with version 7. Both have iTunes 10.2.1.1 installed. I have iTunes "Home Sharing on" for both computers, including the ATV. I can see my iTunes library on the ATV and play music; I can also play iTunes radio just fine with the ATV. I've been able to access my NetFlix account and stream movies just fine with NetFlix.
    I was able to purchse the movies, but not able to play on the ATV; thus, I seem to be able to get to iTunes since I could at least rent movies.
    Is there anything major to double check to make sure I've set everything up right? The book that came with ATV looked pretty plug-n-play, but I cannot get this to work (playing videos). I also have an iPhone that I just purchased- I've plugged this into the Vista computer to do sync's and get updates, but don't have it plugged in on a reqular basis.
    What am I missing to try and troubleshoot?
    Thanks much!

    I bought apple tv a few weeks ago. It worked to start with but was very slow and not really usable as when you picked a movie it would take anything from 20 mins to 6 hours to start. I assumed it would to memory but it doesn't so you have to sit and wait for it to start which renders it completely useless.
    Then came a software update about a week ago. Since then it no longer loads rented movies. After I have paid for the movie it says press play. After that it says "unable to load content, try later"
    I emailed apple support. They dont know what the problem is so they refunded my money and removed the films from my apple tv.
    Apple also asked questions About my iTunes version etc which is completely stupid as this has nothing to do with itunes as apple tv is 100% independant and designed as a stand alone device.
    My advise- I will get a refund and use the money to buy apple tv 1 from ebay as it has a hard drive and loads movies in the background rather than using a stream.

  • How can I get JavaScript to detect if flash is installed and then load a different URL?

    Hi, I've made two versions of the same site, one in flash and one in HTML, but I want the browser to detect what version of flash is installed, if any and then load the appropriate version of my site. I used to have it so that it displays a HTML message within the same window dependant on the whether the user has the right flash version or not and that used to work perfectly, so I think it must be to do with the changes I made to the if and else statements within the checkFlash() function.
    Here's how I've made it so far:
    <head>
         <script language="javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent = 0; </script>
         <script language="javascript"> DetectFlashVer = 0; </script>
         <script src="scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>
         <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
              var requiredMajorVersion = 9;
              var requiredMinorVersion = 0;
              var requiredRevision = 24;
              var flashContent;
              function checkFlash() {
                   var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
                        if (hasRightVersion) {
                             window.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
                        else {
                             window.open("http://www.google.com");
         </script>
    </head>
    <body onLoad="checkFlash()">
    </body>
    but the checkFlash() function isn't working for some reason, please help, much appreciated.
