Question

I have a movie with multiple layers. On the action layer I have an Actionscript 3.0 script in the first frame. In the text layer I have text that moves across the stage a total of 240 frames. The swf is called from a C# program.

The problem I’m having is that the actionscript is not executing unless the movie is in frame 1 of the timeline. If I try to call a function at any other time nothing happens. If I try to copy the keyframe from frame 1 into any other frame I receive an error that there are duplicate functions/variables. Is there a way to call the same script anywhere on the timeline?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Each frame of a movie clip stay separate, but in the end look at the concept of this is all the same object. if assume 1 frame have a function name is doStuff(), to another frame doStuff() function you can copy all of frame, not available you’ve got duplicate violation. becuase all frame is eventually same MovieClip reference. Only difference is that frame.

this is three options for a solution.

1. Every frame is the define the function name with a different name
2. 1 frame write a script code in a Main Stage Frame. and the other symbol inner frame work the function call.
3. if a change frame each frame should dispatchEvent. and a listen this event a MainStage Frame and control it.
