Tracking Progress of movie clip

I have a movie clip playing on the main timeline. I want to
begin playing a second movie clip when the first one is complete.
The trick is, I only want to do this using actionscript in the root
timeline, NOT the first movie clip's timeline.
Any suggestions?

start a loop that continually compares your movieclip's
_currentframe against its _totalframes.

Tracking the visible property of a movie clip

Hello,
I am trying to track the visible property of a movie clip as
I need to perform a function when visible = true and another when
visible =false
I have tried to use a listener object but I can’t get
it to work. Can you attach a listener object to listen for the
visible property?
I have also tried an IF statement inside the move clip but
this only knows the state of the ._visible when it first runs.
I have got it to work with an onEnterFrame function on a
movie clip inside the one I want to know the property of but I
don’t like using the onEnterFrame as it uses a lot or
processor speed
Is there an easy way to track the visible property of a
movieclip???
Thanks
Sam.

> thanks for the help but the watch() method doesn't work
for getter/setter
> properties. is ._visible a getter/setter property?
I was afraid of that. Yes, _visible is a getter/setter, most
properties are. Basically watch() only works on read-only
properties and custom variables, which is a shame.
So I don't know of any more elegant way than constantly
checking to see if the value changed. Centralize it and maybe
package it in a nice class and you might feel a little better about
it...

Scripting Download Progress for Multiple Movie Clips?

I'd like to insert script in the example below that would indicate the download progress of two successive movie clips on a page. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.video.*;
explainer.source="movie1.flv"
explainer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, f);
explainer.autoPlay= true;
explainer.volume=1.00;
function f(e:Event){
var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
myVideo.source = "movie2.flv";
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, myHomePage);
myVideo.autoPlay=true;
myVideo.volume=1.00;
myVideo.skin="SkinUnderPlaySeekStop.swf";
myVideo.skinAutoHide=true;
myVideo.skinBackgroundColor=0x000000;
myVideo.skinBackgroundAlpha=0.1;
myVideo.height=405;
myVideo.width=720;
myVideo.x=141.2;
myVideo.y=115.4;
stage.addChild(myVideo);
var urlRequest=new URLRequest("ATRMAIN.html");
function myHomePage(eventObject:VideoEvent):void
{ navigateToURL(urlRequest, '_self');}

the flvplayback component has bytesLoaded and bytesTotal properties.

Movie clip stops playing for no reason

I am making a banner that has multiple movie clips sharing the same area, creating different rainbow effects when different areas (invisible buttons) are moused over.
First of all I couldn't figure out if there was a way to have one invisible button over the whole area that changed to a different colored effect with each mouse over (first mouse over the black and whites would change to reds, second would change it to blues, third would change it to browns, etc.). Since I couldn't figure this out I settled on creating three buttons covering a third of the banner each, so when the mouse passes over one button it changes to reds, over another button it changes to blues, over the third it changes to browns.
The effects are movie clips where each frame has another stripe changing color so it goes in a wave effect from one to the next, and then goes back to white and black in the same manner. The first frame of each movie clip I had to turn into a nested movie clip so I could turn the alpha to 0, since I was going to have these color effect movie clips on top of one another in the main timeline on different layers, and so you could see the effect even if that color layer wasn't on top. I used the same nested movie clip with zero alpha for the first frame of each color effect clip (reds movie clip, blues movie clip, etc), so I dont' know if that's an issue.
Anyway, it seemed to work fine for a while, but after working on it for a while longer (and not getting any further since I removed most of the changes I made), now when I test the movie the mouse over does not seem to work correctly. It works fine, seemingly, for the first time I mouse over each button, but in order to have it work again I have to mouse over the button twice, and then it will pause randomly during a part of the clip and I have to move my mouse back over for the movie clip to continue.
I can't tell if this is because of the overlapping movie clips, or because my buttons are messed up, or if my actionscript is messed up, or if the timeline has to be longer, or what. Currently the timeline is 55 frames, the same as each movie clip.
I put a movieclip_instance.stop(); command in the first frame of the main timeline, is there a better way to do this? Should I put the stop command in the movie clip itself?
Here is a section of my AS in the main timeline, this is my first time programming ever, in any language, and trying to learn from the internet is more difficult than I thought it would be.
redmovie.stop();
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playRed);
function playRed(event:MouseEvent):void
          redmovie.play();

I am not sure of what the problem is, so I don't know if this will help or not. One thing I might suggest is that you use gotoAndPlay(1) instead of play(). That way, if your movieclip is in the middle of playing it won't continue but will start from the beginning.
You could use one button to have the different movieclips play in sequence if you prefer that. You would just need to have some form of counter that keeps track of which is the next to play. Somethin like...
var mcCounter:uint = 0; // start at 0 since an array is being used to identify which movieclip to play
var mcs:Array = new Array(redmovie, bluemovie, brownmovie);
only_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playMC);
function playMC(event:MouseEvent):void
         mcs[mcCounter].play();                  // tell the current mc to play
         mcCounter += 1;                            // increment for the next mc
         if(mcCounter == 3) mcCounter = 0; // reset the counter if it exceeds the array

How to increase on(press) movie Clip value

I have a variable at frame 1,
var a=0;
i have a movie clip and i am writing a code on it
on(press){
a=a+1;
trace(a);
bt the tracing value is showing NaN, how can i increase that
value ??
even if i am doing the same thing with button then its
working fine.
but the problem with Movie Clip. so any one can tell me, how
can i solve this problem ?
Thanks

to make a variable global just put _global. in front of it...
like _global.a = 0

Loading a movie clip to Flash

I have a huge movie clip to be imported, its pretty huge so I
divided them to smaller pieces and tried to import, everything my
PC gets hung and does not respond after import. What is the best
method to import a single huge movie clip? Your help is
appreciated.

Problem Solved.
To everyone that has experienced some version of this issue,
whether it be in previewing a load progress bar, or having
animation freeze on you while loading external movie files...
In test mode in flash, whether you are doing a simple test
movie or debugging, loading progress appears to not be threaded and
will freeze you movie until the load is complete. if you preview
this movie clip in a browser after publishing it, everything should
look ok.
I've read a lot of posts about this same topic. Macromedia
(or shall i say Adobe), fix this issue in your next release. what a
pain...seriously. debugging is useless if the movie doesn't even
run the same.
very much relieved,
Al.

Movie Clip is not looping AHH

So I got this video that is streaming from the server on the stage (starting a new movie clip). I then have a mask over it to create a diamond shaped movie clip. However, once I take it into the main timeline and export as movie...when I view it--it is not looping...it's only playing once. Any ideas on what's going on? THANKS!

I found the answer via http://www.kristenstephenson.net/?p=333&cpage=1#comment-259. Working code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
ksvid.autoRewind = true; // fl_video being the name of the video component
ksvid.addEventListener(VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND, doLoop);
function doLoop(e:VideoEvent):void
e.target.play();
The only difference from her way of placement was that because I have the f4v as a progressive download in a movie clip as a flash playback with a mask (*pheww)...I had to make a cuepoint at the end of the video and then place the actionscript within the movie clip as its own layer.
SUCCESS!

Creating New Menus that follow the playing of a movie clip

I was wondering if it is possible to have iDVD display a new menu after playing a movie clip off of the first menu. Then from that second menu if it would then be possible to play a new movie clip.
Essentially I want to create a progressive DVD where after each movie clip there is a new menu with new options. I just wanted to know if that was possible and if so, how I would go about accomplishing it.
Thanks

I don't think you can do it with iDVD. I wonder if you can even due it with more professional tools, but keep in mind that iDVD is meant as a simple consumer grade application to help people get their home movies on DVD. It is not really meant for anything more fancy than the basics to do what it does.
My guess if your movie will end and either it defaults to the main menu or at best, the menu you entered the movie from. I don't think there is anyway to have a DVD player know where to go (somewhere different) at the end of a movie.

Motion 3 - Motion Tracking and Match Move

Hi, I have no problem learning how to use motion tracking or match move because there's plenty of tutorials online. My question is, if let's say i motion tracked a clip to my original clip and half way through the movie an obstacle comes into the position where my motion tracked clip is. How do i make is so the obstacle appears in front of the motion tracked clip?
For example, take apple's motion 3 sample video.

The place where they put the GPS clip, if while the girl is driving she moves her hand in front of the GPS. How would we make it so that her hand appears in front of the GPS not behind it?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you

If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are asking how to have an object that is part of the background layer appear in front of an object that you are going to composite in an match-move.
The only way to do that is to duplicate the background layer and move it in front of the layer you are bringing in, then create a mask around the portion of layer you want to keep (in the example you provide - the girl's hand).
You would have to go frame-by-frame and animate the mask to follow her hand - very time consuming but I don't see any other way.

Convert a movie clip back to the main timeline? Help!

I hope you guys can help me with this because this is a work project. Here's the situation:
The entire .fla animation consists of nothing but two really long movie clips. Which are placed on frames 1 and 2 of the main timeline. Now for reasons that are too deep for me to go into explaination about my boss is telling me that I have to have everything main timeline -no movie clips. I've tried copypasting all of the frames but they all paste wayyy to large on the main timeline and they wind up in different places on the stage.
How can I move all of the frames from my two movie clips onto the main timeline without everything breaking? Better yet - is there any way to just convert a movie clip into an .fla?

you're on the right track. note the x,y of your movieclip in frame 1. create a new layer and paste all the frame 1 movieclip's frames into that new layer. click the edit multiple frames icon below your timeline. select all the frames, click an on-stage object. in the properties panel, change the x,y of the all the selected objects to the previously noted values

(bug?)Movie clip contains an object with a z value will not edit the object in place, it goes into a seperate window.

When a movie clip contains an object with a z value, I can not edit the object in place, it goes into a seperate window.
This changes the vanishing point relative to the movieclip instead of the stage (allong with everything else).
This makes it very hard to keep track of where the movieclips will end up when actualy playing the animation.

I should have explained my situation a little better. I have a machine that's made up of a number of parts, some of them are fairly large and some are quite small. When a user clicks on a part, I want to center that part on the screen and then move whole machine toward the screen until the selected part either fills the screen (for the larger parts) or the part bumps up against the front clip plane (for the smaller parts).
I didn't think of checking for a collision with the ViewPlatform's TG, thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't sure how the ViewPlatform's location relates to the clipping plane, but I'll dig into it. I'm still learning how the ViewingPlatform, the image plate, and the clipping planes all relate to each other.

Save movie Clip in frame as jpeg

We Are Developing A web Application as the following :
the Client Can select A template then Write words on over it
and Save the Template as Jpeg format ,we did the first part ,how we
can save the movie Clip as JPEG format ,I looked in the Bitmap
class and i did not found any Solution,also I used the PHP to send
Data to It From Flash but it is very Slow Proccess is there any way
to do this from Flash

this my Code i olny load image in a movieClip and I changed
the width and height of the movie
myimage= movieClip
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import com.quasimondo.display.BitmapExporter;
myimage.loadMovie("1.jpg") ;
var snapshot:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,400,false);
// You will have to change the gatewayURL to your server
// except if you are testing this locally:
BitmapExporter.gatewayURL = "
http://www.7everyweek.com/BitmapExporter.php";
// It is a good idea to listen to the various events that
// BitmapExporter provides:
BitmapExporter.addEventListener( "progress", this);
BitmapExporter.addEventListener( "status", this);
BitmapExporter.addEventListener( "error", this);
//BitmapExporter.addEventListener( "complete", this);
function save():Void
// Check if there is still an export going on:
if (BitmapExporter.getStatus() == "idle") {
// update the bitmap with the latest camera image:
snapshot.draw(myimage);
progress_back._visible = progressbar._visible=true;
// this is only to compare the different speeds
timer = getTimer();
onEnterFrame = updateTimer;
// Since the webcam image is very small we can get away with
turboscan here:
BitmapExporter.saveBitmap(snapshot, "testsnapshot.jpg",
"turboscan", 0 );
// Usually it is receommended to use one of the other modes:
// BitmapExporter.saveBitmap(snapshot, "snapshot.jpg",
"fastscan", 0, 70);
// BitmapExporter.saveBitmap(snapshot, "snapshot.jpg",
"default", 0, 70);
// BitmapExporter.saveBitmap(snapshot, "snapshot.jpg",
"palette", 0, 70);
// BitmapExporter.saveBitmap(snapshot, "snapshot.jpg",
"rgb_rle", 0, 70);
function updateTimer(){
time.text = getTimer() - timer;
function progress(evt:Object):Void {
progressbar.setProgress(evt.current, evt.total);
progressbar.label = evt.message+" (%3%%)";
function error(evt:Object):Void {
errormsg.text += evt.message+"\n";
delete onEnterFrame;
trace( evt.message )
function status(evt:Object):Void {
trace( evt.status );
switch (evt.status) {
case "contacting server" :
save_btn._visible = false;
save_btn.enabled = false;
cancel_btn._visible = true;
cancel_btn.enabled = true;
break;
case "idle" :
progress_back._visible = progressbar._visible=false;
save_btn.enabled = true;
save_btn._visible = true;
//cancel_btn.enabled = false;
cancel_btn._visible = false;
onEnterFrame = null;
break;
case "retrieving":
onEnterFrame = null;
break;
save_btn.onPress = function() {
this._parent.save();
progress_back._visible = progressbar._visible=false;
//cancel_btn._visible = false;
//save_btn._visible = true;
progressbar.minimum = 0;
//cancel_btn.enabled = false;
var timer:Number
var errormsg:TextField;
