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.

Right way to jump between pages?

I am in trouble to find the correct way to jump between pages,I have a page alluser.jsp,
in which all usergroups and users are displayed,corresponding to every user's item,I
place a link to delete this user,as below:
<a href="removeuser.jsp?userName=<%=userName%>">delete</a>
in removeuser.jsp,after I have completed the task of deleting this user from database,I
want the client go back to alluser.jsp,where he can find that user has been removed,
but I have tried three different ways,the first,
response.sendRedirect("alluser.jsp"),but It displays the old page,seemingly not following
the logic of alluser.jsp:to fetch data from NOW_BE database,but just displays from the browser's
cache;
the second,
<jsp:forward page="alluser.jsp"/>,but it will forward the parameter userName onto the
alluser.jsp,which doesn't need any parameters,as result,in browser's location bar,I see
..../alluser.jsjp?userName=...,now I cannot refresh the page,because the browser will
prompt me whether to resend the request info to refresh the page;
the third,I simply use
javascript:location="alluser.jsp",but I got the same result as the first approach
now I have been driven crazy,on earth what is the good way to do these?
Please help me,thanks in advance

Instead of having 2 jsp forms, the processing can be done in the same form - "alluser.jsp".
The code below explains as to how this can be implemented.
The ResultSet gets updated without the deleted user.
<%
String message="";
String userid =request.getParameter("USER_ID");
if(userid == null)
userid="";
else
int delusercon=user.del_user_con(userid);
int deluser=user.del_user(userid);
String username=request.getParameter("username");
message=username + " "+ "has been cancelled!";
list=user.get_pendinguser();
}%>
<form>
<%=message%>
<%while(list.next()){%>
<table><tr><td>
<div align="center"><a href="alluser.jsp?USER_ID=<%=list.getString( userid)%>&username=<%list.getString(username)%>">
<B><FONT FACE="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2">
Deny</FONT></B></a></div>
</td></tr></table>
<%}%>
</form>
Hope this helps!!

Is there a quick way to navigate among frame labels?

I use scrollbar at the bottom of the timeline to go to different frames. This is slow if I have thousands of frames. I wonder if there is a similar interface like the Actions window for labels on timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts at left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be nice if you can see all your labels in a menu and click to go there directly (I believe Director has that). Maybe I can put some dummy script in different label and then I can use Action window to travel to there.
Is there a better way?
Thanks!

Open the Movie Explorer window. At the top is a set of options marked Show: Select the fifth button, Show frames and layers. Scroll down the window and you should see a section marked Markers. You can double click on any of those items and the timeline will scroll to that frame marker.

My SD video keeps jumping between the upper and lower frames. So the video starts frame blending and blurring in and out.

Jump to next frame label without specifying a name

Is it possible to jump to next frame label without specifying
the name of the frame label?
For example instead of saying
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Step_02");
I wanted it just to go to next available frame label.
Thanks
Jonas

not with actionscript 2.

Frame Label Variable

Is there any way that I can address a frame label using a variable? When I don't have a label in quotes, isn't it expecting a number?
sym.stop("labelname");
What I want to do is have labels as 1-10 so I can have a back and next button that simply add or subtract 1 from the variable that goes to the right frame label name.

I downloaded the Go To Label sample and it worked great until I tried to modify it to work in my project. I have a series of animations that I would like to have play from start to finish AND have previous/next buttons that jump to labels. The Go To Label code seems to stop working predictably when the main timeline is playing instead of being stopped as in the sample. I assume it's because it's not sure exactly where the playhead is when the buttons are clicked.
I've attached a link to a modified version of the Go To Label sample that shows what I'm trying to do. I changed all the "stops" to "plays" so that it plays continuously. I notice that the buttons work correctly at times but not always. For instance, if you let it play on its own without clicking any of the buttons until it reaches "Stop 3" and then click the prev button it will go all the way back to "Stop 1" instead of "Stop 2". It does the same when applied to my project.
Any ideas on what's happening and how I can modify it to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thanks!

Creating new buttons on different frame labels

can someone tell me if im doing something wrong or assigning
the as to the wrong frame?
first off i have all my buttons on frame 2. im creating a
real estate site and i have to have a couple links like HOME ABOUT
BUYING SELLING CONTACT, the thing though is that in the BUYING and
SELLING frames i want to add more sections and links but only on
these 2 other parts of my site. when i code it and add new buttons
to these sections though my movie plays over and over and over non
stop. heres my coding...
FRAME 1 preloader
Frame 2 has a frame label of home and all the buttons on a
diff layer, and AS3 on a different layer
Frame 3 has a frame label for about section
Frame 4 is my contact for example
so if i create a new button in the about frame label and just
add the code to the working as3 code on frame 2 my movie just plays
over and over and over again, and all i want it do do is act like
the other buttons and go to a different frame label down in the
time line. the only way i get it to work is if i have ALL my
buttons on frame 2.
frame 1
my preloader
frame2
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHome)
function onHome(event.MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop("home");
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAbout)
function onAbout(event.MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop("about");
etc....
etc...
i enter my btn code just like this and the buttons on frame 2
work but any new buttons i try and creat and put into different
frames othere then frame label "home" aka frame 2 wont work

correct.
there are lots of ways around it. but they all require the
object to exist when the code executes.
with as3 it's particularly easy to create objects, code for
them and then add them to the display list later when
needed.

Wacky problem with Frame label

I have a menu set up with three items. Menu item one has
"gotoAndPlay("video"), menu item two has
"gotoAndPlay("somethinghere") etc...
My menu items two and three always jump to the correct frame
label. I am having a problem with the first menu item.
When you click through the menu items slowly, content loads
in correctly, but it seems that if you click different menu items
too fast, the first menu item jumps back the main timeline to frame
1. My menu is inside of a movieclip. This is where my frame labels
are.
Has anyone ever seen an issue like this before or know how to
prevent this wacky behavior?

use the goto methods, not functions:
_root.gotoAndPlay("video");

Professional way to call that frame on button click?

Hi
Nice to get new look and feel for forum :)
Wel my question is I have a frame which has many buttons textfields labels and other components too.
On clicking one of the button I am opening a frame which is like calculator(display is same as calculator)
I am using frame for that calculator.
My question is that what will be the most professional way to call that frame on button click?
All you java professionals your kind attention will be appreciated
Regards

Good question, I've often wondered this myself!
Personally, I don't like to use anonymous inner classes for handling events. I generally handle events two ways:
1. Make the main class implement lots of interfaces and use action commands. eg
public class MyFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    public static final String CALC_BUTTON = "cb";
    public MyFrame() {
        super();
        JButton cButton = new JButton("Calculator");
        cButton.addActionListener(this);
        cButton.setActionCommand(CALC_BUTTON);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
         if (ae.getActionCommand().equals(CALC_BUTTON) {
             //do something
2. Subclass AbstractAction.
public class MyAction extends AbstractAction {
    //create a constructor specific to the goal
    public MyAction(/*Some arguments*/) {
        //set variables
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
         //handle the action
//and in the main class
JButton cButton = new JButton("Calculator");
cButton.setAction(new MyAction());I tend to use the first method more often, but if there's some specific kind of action, then I use the second method.
I'm interested to know what other people do though. :)

Programmaticallyset vertical space between frames

Does anyone know how to programmatically set the verticaly space between frames property from the format trigger ????
TIA

Sorry, there is no way to do it (at least not in 6i).
You are limited by the SRW built in packages as to the properties you can set programmatically. I suppose you can create your own packages that may do this if you really want to.

Jump between PNG file and Mov file

We are creating an iPad application, in it we bring 3 different elements to screen using a MP4 video clip, once the movie ends, we load a PNG file and have each of the 3 elements as different touch points. When you click 1 element it opens a related MP4 video clip. Therefore, 3 items open 3 different video clips. The problem is when you touch one of the elements, there is a JUMP between the PNG file and the Video clip (the video player loading time). What can we do to fix this issue so the applicaiton will run seamless without a JUMP.

Ravi, is there a possible when you added the png to your primary storyline, you accidentally chose the non option in the spatial conform settings?
If your image is larger than your timeline frame size, what will happen is if you choose the none option, the image will be added at full frame and centered.
What you need to do is before adding your png's to your timeline, hilight the png and in the inspector make sure FIT is selected.
Hope that helps

Can I jump between two presentations without exiting presentation mode?

is it possible to quickly jump between two separate presentations without having to go out of presentation / play mode ??

OUCH! Random access in Keynote is difficult. It is essentially a linear presentation format. However, IF you want to do this only once, there might be a workaround:
Create a slide in presentation A that has a black rectangle that covers the entire slide; it could be any slide number, but most likely should be the last slide in the presentation to make it easier to find in a hurry. Make this your Hyperlink to presentation B. (see previous response)
Then, while showing presentation A, when you want to go to B, press the = (equal) key to display the slide selector on the preview display monitor; select the Hyperlink slide and go to it; click on the slide and that will trigger the hyperlink to B. By the way, it will look better if the first slide in presentation B also is all black to mask the transition.
The problem, however, will be returning to A where you left-off. There is another workaround for this. First create another black slide and make this #1 in presentation A. Then create a hyperlink at the end of B that will take you back to A, slide 1. Again, use the slide selector to take you back to the slide where you left-off previously. (When you first leave presentation A, be sure you know which slide number you left, so that you can return there (or the next slide) when you come back.)
Yes, it is cumbersome. Yes, it will not be seamless: there will be some pauses while you are selecting the proper slides and making the transitions. Yes, it should be easier. And, yes, it will be even more difficult to do this more than once (if you can do it at all) in a presentation.
Good luck.

Navigating to Frame Label in mc from main timeline

Lets say that in my main timeline, I have a number of frame
labels. On stage I have a movie clip (let's call it bg_mc) which
contains a tweened animation that has been looping repeatedly (so
it has its own timeline with its own frame labels).
I would like this to happen:
- On the main timeline, the playhead enters a specific frame
called "newBackground."
- When that happens, I want the playhead in bg_mc to jump to
the first frame in its timeline, "beginLoop."
How do I accomplish this?
Thanks so much for your help!
David

Now, this brings on another question... that is, what if the
opposite is true?
For instance:
The main timeline plays to a stop(); at frame 10.
At frame 10, a movie clip (countdown_mc) which contains a
countdown timer, begins.
When the timer reaches 00:00, I want to trigger the main
timeline to continue and play the next frame (11).
Thanks again for the great advice,
David

Why is there jumping between shots after exporting to quicktime from FCP7?

Working in FCP7, after exporting a self contained quicktime, there is jumping between shots. I tried to remove the transitions, rerendered then re exported but the jumping is still there. I can't figure out what's going on as it's not happening on all the sequence. Please help!!

Hi Kippybop - sorry to hear you sharing this problem, but nope....still not sorted.
So far I've got all the frame rates matching sequence settings. I've done two exports with and without transitions and there is still jumping between shots - however, it does seem to be shorter without the transition. So whatever the problem is, is something to do with the beginning and end of clips and is made worse, and extended by adding transitions - but this doesn't apply to all clips which is really baffling.
I've also made a new sequence and copied the original clips from the problematic sequence - still no change. So the only impovement is the removal of video transitions, which is not exactly ideal. I can watch the jumpy .mov on the 'finder' viewer full screen with no jumping, but all other media players show glitches between clips.
I've done a grab of a clip and the sequence settings, which I think are correct, but please if there are any generous FCP7 experts reading, any suggestions are very much appreciated...

Clear screen between frames in "slide show"

I'm creating a simple flash document that is like a slide show. Each frame is a "slide".
Right now each new slide is being drawn on top of the previous and after a few frames the screen is a mess...
How can I clear the screen between frames?
Mike

Each frame is a series of many vector graphics calls. Each shape is defined using lines & curves and placed in a frame using PlaceObject2 tag (see flash 10 specification). After all shapes are defined and placed, a ShowFrame tag is added to show the frame and objects within it.
This step is repeated for each frame (or slide).
I'm not sure what a "keyframe" translates to in the flash specification.
There is no "ClearFrame" or "ClearStage" tag available in the specification.
The only way I can see to accomplish this is to use "RemoveObject" tag to remove each object that was placed before creating the next frame.
While this might work is can be many thousands of objects...and quite burdensome.
