Play frames before load movie??

Hi,
Im trying to create a motion where as when you select a object from the home page all the objects slide out and off screen before the new content loads.
Ive got it set up so that it all loads into a swfLOADER. Is their a way that i can make it gotoAndPlay an out phrase before loading in the next content on the swfLOADER. I dont even know if what im trying to do is possible?
Have not sucseeded so far as it just wipes the page before playing the out phase. Is their any way that i can make this work??
currently got it saying on release gotoAndPlay "out" and then on the next line loadMovie "about"
any ideas??
Thanks in advance

hey sorry for the late reply on this, ive only just got round to putting into place.
Im strugling to get this aspect to work.
I think my script may be wrong that im putting in the timeline (not very used to putting script on the time line)
Any chance some help could be given as to what script to put on-
The 1st frame so that when you click on a movieclip button it tells it to go to and play ("out")
and secondly the script that i put at the end of the out section to tell it to play a certain movie into the SWFloader depending on which movie clip has been selected.
Thanks in advance
Been driving me barmy i either get errors or i dont get errors but it doesent work.

Show stage and start playing sooner before loaded

I am making a flash game - right now, the swf is 3 megs in size and will probably be much bigger by the time it's done.
I have preloader code on frame 1 to show a progress bar and animation that waits for the entire movie to load.
However, the website doesn't display the SWF until it's almost completely loaded so by the time you actually see the progress bar, it's at 75% or so.
The preloader doesn't have any sound or graphics, just a progress bar and text field.
Is there a way I can force th webpage to show the flash swf and start playing it as soon as frame 1 is loaded instead of waiting for the entire thing?
I tried to create an external movie loader, but that causes problems with all the code that I have written so far, plus I think there is a requirement that I can't do that as I need to only have the 1 swf file, and 2 would be a no-no.
Thanks

ok, I moved everythign to frame 2, so frame 1 has a blank keyframe on all my layers. No code or assets.
I then set the publish settings to export on frame 6 (after the preloader prog bar and such)
problem is the embedded fonts are still set to export on frame 1 (while all the other classes are now frame 6 as set by the publish settings)
I can uncheck the export in frame 1, but then none of the embedded fonts show up.
is there a way around that?

Flv audio playing underneath a loaded movie

Can somebody tell me how to stop an flv video, which was made
with the component stop and/or stop audio when another movie is
loaded on top?
Other than that, if you are in for a real challenge today, I
need assistance with an AS3 photo gallery too, at:

Flash does not have any extension or plugins, never had.

Hotspots in a loaded movie not referencing correctly

My main movie uses an onResize function to reposition movie
clips relative to stage H & W, a movie loaded into level 1
contains the hotspots that aren't registering properly.
CODE IN MAIN MOVIE:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
///////////REPOSITION ELEMENTS WHEN STAGE IS
RESIZED////////////
this.onResize();
function onResize() {
newPosition();
Stage.addListener(this);
function newPosition() {
stageH = Stage.height;
stageW = Stage.width;
bkgrnd_mc._width = stageW;
bkgrnd_mc._height = stageH;
main_mc._x = (stageW- main_mc._width)/2;
main_mc._y = (stageH- main_mc._height)/2;
//loaded movie- all hotspots are inside this MC:
_level1.temp_mc._x = (stageW-_level1.temp_mc._width)/2;
_level1.temp_mc._y = ((stageH-_level1.temp_mc._height)/2);
on loading a movie into level 1 – I can see that the
hotspots contained within it are visually repositioned when browser
resized (hotspots all inside ‘_level1.temp_mc’) but the
x & y coordinates referenced during hitTest remain those of the
original loaded movie – ignoring the fact it looks as though
it has been physically repositioned!
Hit test code placed inside the loaded movie (in
‘temp_mc’) uses shapeflag method to test hits, eg:
//display readings:
_level1.temp_mc.reader_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
_level1.temp_mc.reader_mc.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
if
(_level1.temp_mc.hotspot1_mc.hitTest(_level1.temp_mc.reader_mc._x,
_level1.temp_mc.reader_mc._y, true) {
_level1.temp_mc.temp_txt.text = " hotspot1";
else {
_level1.temp_mc.temp_txt.text = "Nothing detected";
Resize function also called in first frame pf loaded movie:
_level0.onResize();
Any help gratefully received, thanks in advance.

I think I have the concept, but I can't figure out how
exactly to reference this variable.
basically, the variable is '_root.newsMov.myData.newsVar'
which works fine when i load the movie in firefox by itself.
The problem comes when I load the movie via the index movie.
If the new movie with the loadvars is loaded into level 9,
how do I reference it?
_level9.newsMov.myData.newsVar doesn't seem to work... any
other ideas?
Thanks to all who have helped so far

I rented a movie on an iPad mini while connected to wifi. Now I'm in the car with out Internet and when I try to play the movie is says "could not load movie" what can I do? I purchased it from iTunes and let it load fully before leaving.

Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?

Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
Using current version IPad mini.
Ios7 is HUGH PIECE OF CRAP!!!!

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!

The movie I rented on iTunes has stopped right in the middle of the movie because it hasn't finished loaded. How do I get it to start playing again before the rental expires?

Urgent, need to load movie frame, p

I've been caught in this for 2 days, please help, it's been
difficult to get someone to answer my threads... Thanks
I have a preloader movie that loads a movie called
rotando6.swf
the problem is that on the main stage I have only a movie
called sphere,
I need the preloader to load rotando6.swf but also to load
frame 2 of the movie sphere...
The preloader movie has this segment of code:
_root.MyExternallyLoadedSWFMovieHolder.gotoAndStop("Play");
stop();
Play is the name of frame 2. The problem is that since Play
frame is inside the sphere movie, the code is not working.
How can I have the above code lode rotando6.swf but also load
the Play frame (frame 2) inside the sphere movie.
I really really need help

what's sphere have to do with your target movieclip? what's
frame 2 of whichever movieclip have to do with the frame labelled
"Play"?
if the target movieclip is sphere and frame 2 is labelled
"Play", and you really mean that you want to play frame 2 of
rotando6.swf, you must wait until loading of rotando6.swf is
complete before executing your goto method.

Why is Lion so slow? Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

Got Lion. Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes. I'm frustrated. Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
What gives? Any solutions? Anyone having similar issues?
The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

Lion is much more demanding on memory. It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised. SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations. The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others. OWC is a good place to look. Max it out. I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

Movies are not always available for redownload. Is there a reason why you deleted it instead of simply transferring the purchase to the computer and then removing it from the iDevice?

Loading Movie to Random Frame

I am having trouble with my script(AS3) that loads a random
frame when the movie starts. On frame 1 I have a preloader that
takes you to frame 2. On frame 2, I have an Array that is suppose
to choose from 2 frames randomly to start the movie. Well, it works
fine with 3 frame numbers in my array, but with 2, it always starts
on the the first frame number in the array.
Here is the code:

Change the last line on your frame 2 script.

Welcome to the Apple Community Tarskforce.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Play clip before movie

So I have the IMAX intro video, and want it to play before any movie. Is this possible? If yes, is it possible to do it with home sharing on the apple tv?

You are the best, and I hope this issue gets fixed as speedily as humanly possible, because clearly your trailer needs to be done, for your presentation is obviously important, because school is plainly necessary, because school gets you money which is vitally needful. So good luck!!!!! :)

I downloaded 21 Jump Street for a road trip the other day, and it won't play. I click play and a black screen appears and then it says "could not load movie." I have tried rebooting it, and it won't load. Please help.

I can't figure out how to get this movie to play - I have another movie downloaded and I had no problems. Any tips?

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?
