I am relatively new to AS and want to know how I can notify that an object I imported has reached it's final frame. Basically I want to create a .fla with a class file maybe and import the .swf as a movieclip in an other fla and maybe have multiple instances of that imported movieclip. Now I would like to know how I can get notified that one instance of the imported movieclip has reached the final frame.
Thank you
You can fire event with dispatchEvent(new Event("eventname"))
.
Write dispatchEvent
on end of frame.
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
and, listen for the event:
mc.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, endOfFrameHandler);
function endOfFrameHandler(e:Event):void
{
...
}
You can use MovieClip' undocumented addFrameScript()
method , like:
mc.addFrameScript( mc.totalFrames - 1 , lastFrameHandler);
function lastFrameHandler():void{
//
// mc.stop();
//
}
With addFrameScript
you don't need to put any code in .fla
' frames/timeline!
