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,

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")
}
