Movie Clip loading buttons require double clicking on the first attempt

I have created a number of buttons that load move clips into
an empty movie clip. The problem is that it takes several clicks to
activate the first clip button then the buttons behave as they are
supposed to and load properly. Is there a reason why the first time
you must click several times to activate the button loading a movie
clip?

stop();
unloadMovie(1);
agatha_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextFrame();
loadMovieNum("agatha_full.swf", 1);
anastasia_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextFrame();
loadMovieNum("anastasia_full.swf", 1);
chiara_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextFrame();
loadMovieNum("chiara_full.swf", 1);
clarisse_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextFrame();
loadMovieNum("clarisse_full.swf", 1);
fifi_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextFrame();
loadMovieNum("fifi_full.swf", 1);
gigi_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextFrame();
loadMovieNum("gigi_full.swf", 1);
ginger_btn.onRelease = function() {

  • Multi-clip almost never works for me on the first attempt

    Anybody know why when setting up a multi-clip, I can almost
    never get it to work the first time I hit the timeline to start playing.
    All my settings are correct, but either the viewer or timeline doesn't move on the first time try.
    All I do is take my playhead back to the beginning of
    timeline, hit play again, and usually it then starts working correctly. Sometimes I have better results if I hit the play in the Viewer instead of the Timeline, but it's not a consistent thing.
    Again, I'm in open sync in Viewer and Canvas/Timeline, I'm in Unlimited RT, dynamic video quality and frame rate, multiclip activated there, turned off high quality scrubbing, ect.
    I'm usually doing this with (3) short 3 minutes DV clips
    on a mac book pro.
    When I do get it going after the second, third or fourth attempt, I haven't changed any of the settings,...I've just confirmed that they were right to begin with.
    Anybody else experience this and any ideas on how to get it to work correctly first time out?
    Thanks.

    so effectively it's on a different drive, sort of
    But still using the same reader heads as your primary drive. So technically, it's still the same drive.
    I just cut a 4 angle music video last week using my MacPro at work, and even with the source media on a FW800 G-Raid, I was still getting delayed playback and couldn't even view the 4-up display when playing back. So I moved the project to our XSAN, and with the fibre backbone there, bandwidth was definitely increased.
    So the other variable in this problem is bandwidth as well as RAM. I know that a fibre based storage system isn't in everyone's budget, but I'd recommend trying out an eSATA based drive, given that I had trouble with 4 streams over FW800.

  • Movie clips as buttons

    Hi all having a bit of difficulty with a project,
    Iam using movie clips as buttons, the only function they
    perform is loading in external swf files into a blank movie clip.
    The script I have used for this is as follows:
    on (release) {
    loadMovie("folio.swf", "_level0.holder");

    Hi joakimpilo, im not to sure im following your question
    correctly but here goes...
    I am assuming b1, b2, b3 and b4 are your MC buttons and you
    want these to load in information.
    This is what I do for similar situations,
    on your main timeline have an MC named holder that you will
    load external swf files into when you click a certain button. It is
    important that you take a note of the size so you can create the
    external swf at the same size, so when they load in they fit
    correctly.
    then in the buttonMC have a top layer that contains a simple
    box that covers the entire area of the MC. this kind of acts as a
    hit area so if you have animated the MC for a roll over effect make
    sure the button covers the area you need. I then apply the script
    to this button as follows (still in the buttonMC, not on main
    timeline)
    on (release) {
    loadMovie("yourexternalmovie.swf", "_level0.holder");
    "yourexternalmovie.swf" is the name of the external movie
    holding the informatiion you want loaded in to the "holder" MC.
    This is created in an entirely different flash document. Make sure
    and remember the name of these external files and just apply to
    each button.
    It is also very important to keep all the swf files in the
    same folder as the main flash file so it can see them to import.
    Hope that makes some sort of sense, and is actually what your
    looking for.

  • Using movie clips as buttons

    I dont ever use buttons because movie clips appear to do all
    of the same stuff with the same code.
    so in my set up i have a "video" section that, when you "roll
    over" it expands and reveals some video thumbnails. i want it so
    when you click the video thumb that a page will open on the right
    side. i have all the "on release" code set up but it still wont
    work???? i think that the expanding window is all worried about
    waiting for the "roll out" to happen so the buttons cant be
    clicked.
    how do i have it so that the movie clip does its roll in roll
    out stuff but dosent change your courser into the little hand and
    finger like its a button?
    NOTE: the "korath" article has the same type of code as the
    thumbnails (except for the different target object)
    oh and should i be using "relative" or "absolute" for the
    target object???
    there is the example at
    www.wafflecone.ca
    i couldnt upload the full fla cuz its 15 MB!

    uhmmm well this is all getting a little confusing.
    i havent used this kind of code before and it hasent worked
    in the few places iv tried (I replaced the "movieclipname" text)
    the best way is too look at the fla....heres a link
    http://www.mediafire.com/?zlld2j0mxxj
    i know that the movie clips can be confusing, im still
    learning on how to set everything up.
    -double click on the "video" box on the left side
    -move the timeline to 20
    -"click the "video" box once
    that is where i have been putting most of the code.
    you can go further into the "video" box where there is more
    movie clips.
    masking
    than where the thumbnails are.
    hope you can take a look at it.

  • Question about scrolling and Movie Clips Loaded from the Library

    I hope I am posting this in the right forum.
    Ok, I'm using actionscript 2.0, and I am trying to make a scrolling image gallery. I have a movie clip with three layers. the first contains a movie clip used as a scroll bar. The second is a mask used to hide the overflow content, and the third contains movie clip thumbnails. when I click one of the thumbnails, it loads a symbol containing a larger version of the picture over top of the thumbnails on the same layer. My problem is, the large image is added at the very top of the movie clip, even when it is scrolled out of sight. I want it to appear in sight, so the user doesn't have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see it. This is annoying and confusing. Is there a way to do this?
    Here is the code I used to create the scroll effect (there is actually a whole lot more to the code but it is very long, so I am not adding it now. I will if it is needed though) 
    (Oh, and there is no text involved in this. I just got this code off a tutorial and I haven't changed the variable names yet)
        var scrollUpper:Number = 58;
        var scrollLower:Number = 309;
        var textLower:Number = 60;
        var textUpper:Number = -179;
        var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;
        var textRange:Number = textLower - textUpper;
        var startY:Number = imagesHolder_mc.thumbs_mc._y;
        function scroll(){
           var moved:Number = imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc._y - scrollUpper;
           var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
           var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
           imagesHolder_mc.thumbs_mc._y = textLower - textMove;
        imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc.onPress = function(){
           this.startDrag(false,this._x,scrollUpper,this._x,scrollLower);
           this.onMouseMove = scroll;
        imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc.onRelease = scroller_mc.onReleaseOutside = function(){
           this.stopDrag();
           this.onMouseMove = null}

    Thanks for your reply. I'll try to explain it better. I have a long, vertically scrolling movie clip. This movie clip contains lots of thumbnails. When I click a thumbnail, the full sized image is loaded from the library and displayed within the same movie clip. when I click the full size movie clip, it disappears again, and I can click another thumbnail to display another full size image. So I'm not just adding more and more stuff to the gallery if that's what you were thinking. I'm just clicking thumbnails to display the full size image so I can look at it, closing it, and moving on.
    But the full sized image is fixed at the very top of the scrolling movie clip, so if I click a thumbnail at the very bottom, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top to see the full size image. I just want the full size image to appear on screen no matter how far down I have scrolled to click a thumbnail.
    I made my basic gallery useing this tutorial:
    http://flashexplained.com/actionscript/making-the-ultimate-dynamic-image-gallery-in-flash- 8/
    if you want to take a look at that, to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
    Now I'm just trying to add some scrolling functionality, which wasn't included, but I don't really understand actionscript well enough to do this easily on my own.
    Sorry for the long reply. I hope this is clearer.

  • Why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

    why do the youtube clips not expand properly when I double click on the page

    The exclamation mark is telling you that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. Assuming you're using iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Playing a mp3 when a movie clip loads

    I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS6
    What I am trying to do is play a mp3 file that I have in my library when the clip loads and stop playing it when the a new clip is selected from the menu I created.  On the button that loads the movie clip (Instance name: Slideshow), I have the following code:
    [code]
    on (release){
        gotoAndPlay(120);
    onClipEvent (load){
        mySong = new Sound();
        mySong.attachSound("MastersThisHall");
        mySong.start(0,50);
    onClipEvent (unload) {
        mySong.stop();
    [/code]
    - I went to the properties of the MastersThisHall.mp3 file in my library,
    - Selected the "ActionScript", tab,
    - Checked the box that says "Export for ActionScript",
    - Unchecked the "Export in frame 1" check box, and
    - Added MastersThisHall in the "Identifier" field.
    The sound is NOT playing when I when the "Slideshow" button is pressed.
    Ideas?

    Thank you for all of this; it is very helpful.
    I have series of 6 buttons I created, each of them load a different movie clip. I need to have the music from the slideshow NOT continue to play when a new movie clip is selected.
    I have the following code.
    Frame 1:
    SlideshowMusic = new Sound(this);
    SlideshowMusic.attachSound("MastersThisHall");
    stop();
    Frame 120 (attached to the Slideshow movie clip object):
    onClipEvent (load) {
        SlideshowMusic.play();
    The "Mute" Button:
    on (release) {
        SlideshowMusic.setVolume(0);
    The "Resume Sound" Button:
    on (release) {
         SlideshowMusic.setVolume(100);
    And the "Pause" Button:
    on (release)
      if (SlideshowMusic.position < SlideshowMusic.duration)
        SlideshowMusic.start(SlideshowMusic.position / 1000);
    It is loading and working perfectly. However, I have two more questions:
    1. How do I make the the sound automatically stop when a new movie clip is played?
    2. How do I change the "pause" symbol to the "play" symbol when the "Pause" button is pressed?

  • Cannot load .dll files in another directory when double clicking on the .exe

    Hi all,
    I am currently using VS 2005. I have quite a few of .dll(s) that is currently residing in the same directory as the .exe
    I want to put the .dll(s) in another directory and have the application point it to that directory so that it can load the .dll(s) from there. 
    I know that I am able to set the Environment path to my desired directory in project properties->debugging. 
    However, i also know that this is only applicable for debug mode and executing the app by pressing "F5" or the "play" button.
    But when i double click on the app in the debug folder, it does not load the .dll(s) from the specified path. 
    How can I make the .dll(s) load from my specified path even when i double click on the .exe? in debug and release mode. 
    Cheers,

    Hi Nat,
    Thank you for your information.
    Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System

  • Some Library Entries Require Double Click to View

    Updated to 10.5.  Windows 7 64x
    After updating, the library entries (music, movies, TV shows, books) require me to either double click or right click on it to view the contents.  For the Store, iTunes and Ping are single click.  Purchased and Purchased on require double click.  All Playlists require double click.
    When I single click, I get the red circle with line through it.
    Single click still works for Apps, Radio, iTunes Store, and Ping
    When I log off and log in on my wife's profile, iTunes functions normally (single click on all entries).
    Have tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes but no joy.
    Any ideas?
    Thanx

    Same issue for me.  When I click the first time, I see a red mouse pointer like a restricted entry sign (attached - when I clicked on music).  Using Windows 7 and this started when I upgraded to 10.5

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

    Hi dizzydar,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
