I can't seem to figure out how to go directly to a new web page after the FX movie. Usually I would place an action script code on the time line to execute this action. How would I do this within Movie FX?

Hello,

In order to trigger an action after an animation with Creative MovieFX you should use the event “on EffectFinished�. More about how to use Creative MovieFX with AS can be found in the Flash HELP Panel under the Creative MovieFX book.

Sample:
I have created a movieclip directy on the stage and applied an effect using MovieFX. I have named the component instance "my_effect" and I have added the following code on the first frame from the time line (not on the component instance):

my_effect.onEffectFinished = function() {
trace('effect finished!');
}


Here is the FLA file that I have worked on. http://www.extendstudio.com/demo/moviefx_event_test.fla

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reply to this post

Best regards,
Catalin Serban

I still can't get the movie to go to another page. Basically I am Using Movie FX to create a intro to a website. After the intro is finished I would like the page of the site to open in its place. I have copy FX and Movie FX on different layers to keep things organized. If needed I can send the Flash file.

If you want to trigger an action at the end of an effect you should use the event “onEffectFinished�, when you are using AnimateIn effects (Start), or the event “onReverseFinished� when you are using AnimateOut effects (Reverse). More can be found in the Flash HELP Panel under the Creative MovieFX book.

Sample:
I have created a movieclip directly on the stage and applied an effect using MovieFX. I have named the component instance "my_effect" and I have added the following code on the first frame from the time line (not on the component instance):

my_effect.onEffectFinished = function() {
getURL("http://www.extendstudio.com ","_self")
}

If the effect is reversing you can use:

my_effect. onReverseFinished = function() {
getURL("http://www.extendstudio.com ","_self")
}
