GotoAndPlay next frame after external flv finishes

The subject title pretty much tells it all. I've got a flash project where a video component plays an external flv file. I've got a different flv file loaded at each keyframe. Right now the flv plays and then it stops and waits for you to click on the next video you want to watch. I want it to automatically go to the next keyframe and start the next video. Any suggestions?

Ok, I just found something that may help you help me..I'm not the one who originally created this component so I wasn't quiet sure how it was done but your question got me to investigating. It looks like I'm using exactly what is described here, http://www.meshybeats.com/components/userguide.htm.
Here's their example of what I could do to trigger something at the end of the video playing:
var myListener = new Object();
myListener.end = function(eventObject):Void
trace(eventObject.target);
trace(eventObject.type);
trace("video ended");
myDisplay.addEventListener("end", myListener);
I'm not sure how I would manipulate that to have it go to the next frame though. Any thoughts?

How do I open a new url after a flv finishes playing?

Sorry for asking this question again, but I'm under the gun.
I have a get

FLV. It doesn't
work. What's the trick to triggering a getURL command when an
FLV finishes?
Thanks.

GotoAndPlay specific frame in external swf from main swf

I have a main swf that loads 2 external swfs.
I click on button to see content of external swf #1 and see stuff. I do something that causes external swf to show other stuff (i.e. not at beginning state)
In the main swf I click on button to see content of external swf #2. External swf #1 content is made invisible and I see content of external swf stuff.
NOW, if I click on button to take me back to see external swf #1, I see it's content in current state. I want to force it to start over again at frame #1 which will reset content.
However, no matter what I try, I can't seem to control which frame to go to in external swf using gotoAndplay.
Here is code in frame #1 of main swf to load external swfs:
//load academic movie
var swfLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
container1.addChild(swfLoader1);
var url1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("academic.swf");
swfLoader1.load(url1);
//load wisdom movie
var swfLoader3:Loader = new Loader();
container3.addChild(swfLoader3);
var url3:URLRequest = new URLRequest("wisdom.swf");
swfLoader3.load(url3);
Here is code in frame 2 of main swf that checks button to see where to go in external swf:
//academic button clicked
function academicClick(event:MouseEvent){
   container3.alpha = 0;
   container3.visible = false;
   container1.visible = true;
   container1.gotoAndPlay(1); //this is where I am trying to force it to start at frame 1
   container1.alpha = 1;
I don't want to reload the external movie to force it to start over.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You can easily control this by making the external swf to load with your movieclip, The below is the code snippet that clear on accessing the specific frame on external swf.
//Loading clips content
var ldr:Loader;
var mcExt:MovieClip;
//Loading
loadswf("external.swf");
function loadswf(tmp:String):void{
    unloadSwf();
    ldr= new Loader();
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressListener);
    ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
    ldr.load(new URLRequest(tmp));
    function progressListener (e:ProgressEvent):void{
        ploader.visible=true;
    function swfLoaded(e:Event):void {
        mcExt = e.target.content as MovieClip;
        ldr.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
        mcExt.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterfn);
        ploader.visible=false;
        addChild(mcExt);
//UnLoading
function unloadSwf():void{
    if (ldr!=null){
        ldr.unloadAndStop();
        removeChild(mcExt);
        mcExt=null;
//Intervals (The part you work on the specific frame within the external swf
function onEnterfn(e:Event):void{
    var num:int=mcExt.currentFrame;
    if (num==1) mcExt.play();
    if (num==9) {
            mcExt.skipmc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,skipfn);
            function skipfn(e:MouseEvent):void{
                mcExt.stop();
                mcExt.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterfn);
                gotoAndStop("help");
    if (num==mcExt.totalFrames){
        mcExt.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterfn);
        gotoAndStop("help");

Newbie: How to go to the next frame after movie clip is complete

I know this should be the simplest thing to do, but I can't
figure it out. I have a movie clip on my timeline. I want it to
play completely before the timeline moves to the next frame. Can
someone point me in the right direction?

On the last frame in the movieclip, place this code (it's
Actionscript 2).
_parent.nextFrame();

Swf doesn't go to next frame after publishing??

Hopefully a very simple fix here. I test my movie in Flash, even open it directly with the browser, and all is well. The gotoAndPlay works, and my animations look fine.
However, when I publish the movie, and then test in the website, it stops after the first frame! What gives?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are you using some sort of actionscript comments like stop(); in the frame which might stop it playing once been loaded? If you want the gotoAndPlay to go to any specific frame you normally have to give them the frame number so something like gotoAndPlay (5); This tells it to go to frame 5 on the timeline.

Automatically skip to next page after video is finished?

Hi all,
I'm making a pdf presentation including embedded video's with Indesign.
When I'm presenting, the pdf is on full screen, and I use my wireless mouse (I'm not standing near my laptop) to go to the next page.
However, this method stops working after an embedded video has finished.
Is there a way to automatically make the page - with embedded video - skip to the next after the video has finished?
I hope someone can help me on this.
Best, Erik

With the standard tools it's impossible, as there is no event triggered to indicate that a video has finished playing. You will need to use a different videoplayer widget when creating your PDFs in InDesign, then add some JavaScript to the PDF in Acrobat. See UVSAR : VideoPlayerX for Adobe Acrobat Pro and the examples for the vpx_listener() function.

Captivate button going to next frame in Flash MX

I have a button in Captivate 1.0. I am calling the move with
a loadMovie function. I want the next button in Captivate to go to
the next frame in my Flash MX file. Is this possible? and if so,
how and if not, how do I get back to my Flash movie next frame
after running an external captivate .swf file?
sorry, I tried to delete this and put it in the Captivate
forum, but could not figure out how. Sorry for the double post

thanks for the correction kglad,
flominton,
Looks like you're new to Flash like me. Let me walk you through what I've done for my project.
I opened up a AS2 project in Flash, created three layers (video, postcard, actions)- bottom to top.
In video layer click on the first frame, and import your flv video. Once the importing is done click on the FLVPlayback on the stage and give it an instance name "player". Right click on the first frame on video layer and open up actions panel, enter this code:
stop();
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) {
gotoAndStop("LabelNameHere");});
Now, click on the second frame on postcard layer. Create a keyframe, and in the properties panel give your frame a label. I gave it the name "postcard" for example. So whatever name you put in the label name area, write it in the code where it says "LabelNameHere". Assuming you have the image you want to put after the video plays in your library panel, drag the image on the stage while you're still in the second frame on postcard layer.
You dont have to do this part, but after I draged the image on the stage I converted it to a movie clip and created an alpha transition. Let me know if you dont know how to do this.
If you'd like to link your image to a URL follow these steps. After I converted the image into movie clip, I right clicked on the image on the stage and opened up the actions panel and entered this code:
on (release) {
    //Goto Webpage Behavior
    getURL("https://www.yourwebsite.com","_self");
    //End Behavior
Finally, go to your actions layer. make sure this layer has equal number of frames as the the postcard layer does. Insert this code in the last frame of actions layer:
stop();
I hope this helps.

If Multiple Hittests equal true, go to and play next frame

Hi All,
I am trying to finish up a project and run into this problem, right now I am trying to create a drag and drop game and on the last game you can drop
parts into the others, what I want to happen is that when all are in the correct spot gotoandplay next frame. This is my current code,
Thanks
if(one_mc._droptarget=="/onedef_mc" && two_mc._droptarget=="/twodef_mc" && three_mc._droptarget=="/threedef_mc" &&
four_mc._droptarget=="/fourdef_mc" && five_mc._droptarget=="/fivedef_mc" && six_mc._droptarget=="/sixdef_mc" &&

ten_mc._droptarget=="/tendef_mc" && eleven_mc._droptarget=="/elevendef_mc" && twelve_mc._droptarget=="/twelvedef_mc");
this is the if statement, im just not sure how to implement the gotoandplay...
Does this make sense?
Thanks

if you don't have code to check if all the movieclips have been dropped on their targets, there's no way that code can work.
use something like:
one_mc.onPress = function()
one_mc.startDrag();
one_mc.onRelease = function()
checkF();
if(one_mc._droptarget=="/onedef_mc")
// align Sprite3
one_mc._x = onedef_mc._x + (onedef_mc._width-one_mc._width)/2;
one_mc._y = onedef_mc._y + (onedef_mc._height-one_mc._height)/2;
one_mc.gotoAndPlay("success");
// the code in italics doesn't look right
} else {
(one_mc._droptarget=="/onedef_mc")
// align Sprite3
one_mc._x = onewrong_mc._x + (onewrong_mc._width-one_mc._width)/2;
one_mc._y = onewrong_mc._y + (onewrong_mc._height-one_mc._height)/2;
onedef_mc.gotoAndStop("fail");
one_mc.stopDrag();
function checkF(){
if(one_mc._droptarget=="/onedef_mc" && two_mc._droptarget=="/twodef_mc" && three_mc._droptarget=="/threedef_mc" &&
four_mc._droptarget=="/fourdef_mc" && five_mc._droptarget=="/fivedef_mc" && six_mc._droptarget=="/sixdef_mc" &&
cave_mc._droptarget=="/cavedef_mc" && eight_mc._droptarget=="/eightdef_mc" && nine_mc._droptarget=="/ninedef_mc" &&
ten_mc._droptarget=="/tendef_mc" && eleven_mc._droptarget=="/elevendef_mc" && twelve_mc._droptarget=="/twelvedef_mc"){
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);

Hi,
Look at the Post Action of a Step, you can set this to do a number of tasks, one of which is to invoke a SequenceCall. You have the option to do a post action on a PASS, FAIL or you can perform a Custom Post Action.
Hope this is what you are looking for

If you have questions about play order in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful; I believe you can use the Play Next or Add to Up Next to add albums as well as songs.

How can I make the frame advance after an flv is done playing?

I've got an flv that we're streaming from a website and I
want the swf to advance to the next frame once the video is done
playing. I've looked all over for a way to do this, but I can't
find anything. Does anyone know of some actionscript code that will
work?
Thanks.

Nevermind. I figured it out for myself. I used this code
right on top of the player itself.

How to go to next frame at end of FLV ?

I have 10 frames. Each one has a movie clip (.FLV) within an
FLVplayback componet. Works great, but I can't figure out how to go
to the next frame when the clips end? Do I have to use a timer or
something like that? Your assistance is appreciated. Thank you.
(using Flash8 on pc)

the FLVPlayback component does not play movie clips, it plays
FLV video files. You need to set up a listener for the, "complete",
event that is triggered by the player when the video has ended.
Once the listener fires, send the playhead to where you want. Look
up the FLVPlayback class in the help docs (F1), you will find all
you need there.

How do i automatically start the next slide after the video on the prevues slide is finished

I have slide 1 with a video loop witch tranistion to the next on a click. the next slide (slide2) automaticlly starts plays. I want to know how to start Slide 3 automaticlly after the video on slide 2 is done playing. Slide 3 is also on a loop. and start slide 4 on a click. then repeats......

I once had the same problem, but it was worse because the length of the video was more than the maximum delay that could be set (Keynote'08, I do not know if this changed in '09). I was helped by someone of this community. She suggested adding invisible text fields, each having a delay, sequenced one after the other. Together they added up to a sufficient delay to play my video and go to the next slide after that. I hope this information will be of use, if need arises.
