ActionScript 1/2 :: Delay In Timeline Deactivated On Second Loop By Movie
Aug 30, 2011
Below summarizes the problem. Whats being used:
Flash CS4 10.0.2
Actionscript 2.0
Whats going on in the Timeline:
I have a embedded movie in the timeline. Also in this timeline is a actionscript delay. When the animation starts, the timeline reaches the embedded movie and plays then it reaches the end frame with the following actionscript delay.
stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(
function():Void {
play();
clearInterval(interval);
}, 10000);
The delay works perfectly. When the timline loops a second time the delay fails to work. So the animation works perfectly one time and falls every time the animation loops. The weird part is if I remove the embedded movie layer the delay works perfectly on the following loops. So it appears that this delay is deactivated by the embedded movie!

I want to repeatedly add a movie to the stage using add child so have created a loop to add it 30 times. How can I make it so they aren't all added at the same time. I'd like to be able to set an interval of time between them being added.

Now, before I get slated for asking this question, I have searched for the answer in this & other forums, but I still can't get my head around this.I need to have a delay built in within a "for" loop, so that it works something like this:
for(x=0;x<10;x++)
{
// code that generates button - I have this working

i am making a flex air application and when its deactivated (lost focus), its framerate becomes to 1fps.i am using psudo-threading encoder that uses enterframe to keep it working the app requires long time converting process more than hours and i need the program to do the same thing while sitting back in the background how to disable deactivation in air application as soon as the focus is out, it becomes 1 fps instead of 24 fps which i need.
i know i can use timerevent rather than enterframe event but my app needs alot of calculation and i figured that in flash, the frame extends its time if the calculation isnt finished. if it gets too long in one frame, the ui hangs up.if i use enterframe, on slow comps it would extend its time to complete the calculations when all the calculations didnt get to finish in time in 1 frame.but im afraid if i use timer event, instead of waiting for the codees to be excuted it would excute the next timer event, i didnt try it though.i created the app that when you add the xml songbook data, it would load up the data sort it and create pages with the graphics and skins set up and when you save, it saves the pages to jpg files using the encoder i created.and the encoder uses enterframe.its working fine but when i deactivate the window while encoding, it becomes extremely slow since it becomes 1fps.

I'm querying Rotten Tomatoes' API for movies listed in an XML document. The problem I'm having is, whist iterating through and querying for each movie I'm hitting RT's API limit which, in turn, is throwing an IO error. Is there a way I can delay execution in a loop for about a second or so, to avoid this?

I have 100 dynamically generated clips on a stage.
I want to remove the clips one by one over the course of a few seconds.
Can I put a delay into a while loop to make it only loop every 50 ms or so?

How do I add delay in a timeline for the loadMovieNum to take place?To be more specific, I have all my layers in Scene1 and the top most is the Actions layer. Somewhere around frame 75 of the timeline I inserted a keyframe in the Actions layer to loadMovieNum but it doesn't seem to load.
If I place that piece of code at the first frame if plays fine though. I don't want it to play immediately. As mentioned, I want the code to execute at frame 75 and load my MC onto the stage.I bet its a very simple thing and there must be something I missed out. This is my first time working with Flash so please bare with me. Btw, i'm using MX 2004 if that helps.

possible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through. I have a for loop with i++ so that I can put objects on the page with a small pause between them. The i++ loop puts all the movieclips on the page simultaneously. I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.

Since my earlier post might not have been clear I have made some changes to the uploaded example Fla. I am struggling with the delay from the xml slideshow in this tut: [URL] Everything works fine when publishing the swf from the slideshow flas. The problem happens when loading these swfs into an mc of another fla (the "mockup fla" in my example) The example mockup swf loads 2 slideshow swf�s . Swf 1 contains 3 jps and swf 2 contains 1 jpg. When loading swf 1 first, the only jpg for that slideshow is loaded (yes, only loading one pic for a slideshow seems strange but this is just to clarify the issue). Everything works fine so far. Now I load the the first slideshow swf with the corresponding button. The 3 jpg�s load and loop with a delay like planned. All good. Now load the 2n�d swf again....... now the single jpg always loop reloads. Why is this happening?

(Flash 5/Flash MX). How do I delay/pause using actionscript? I have tried using a for loop for a time delay like this:
for(i=0;i<1000000;i++){
}
But it does not work?
Flash gives an error like:
Time-consuming actionscript.
Abort running script?
OR the loop simply does not produce a noticeable delay.
How I can introduce a time-delay or a pause using actionscript?

A couple weeks ago, I was searching for a delay function that I could put on a frame and it would hold at that frame for a given period of time.I came close to finding it, but what I found used setInterval and I wasn't able to stop it from looping.Here is something that I am quickly starting to love, it's not mine, but I don't know who's it is, it was on a piece I was working on at work (although this edition of it is partly mine, as I have adapted it to my specific needs).first frame
Code:
//wait function
function wait(a) {

My Flash presentation SWF is uploaded to the web, within an HTML page. Not always, but sometimes, when I log onto the page, I am noticing glitches. For example, the interactive buttons created and embedded within the Flash are not functioning at all. It's as if they are dead. - It took a few times of opening and closing the browser window and calling up the page again to then get it to work properly again. End-users will not do this. Also, when items within a SWF are non-functional like this, does it mean the player needs to be updated again?
- My content is loading dynamically by the way.

I am new to flash. I can't seem to decifer the script examples in the help files. After a lot of trial and error the following codes works great. It delays playback on the video for the proper amount of time. The only problem is when the playback loops (like it should) the codes executes again. I only want to execute the code the first time thru.

Okay my_btn will do this;
image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");
gotoAndPlay(frame#);
What i want to do, is, make it wait before it the timeline goes to the certain frame#, so the image_loader1 loads its image1. I'm making it wait, not because it takes time loading (which it would not, since image1 is already on the stage, loaded up in image_loader2) but the image still takes time to show on the image_loader1 (half a second).So, I want my_btn to be functioned like this that it performs its first action which is
'image_loader1.loadMovie("imagepath");' and then 'gotoAndPlay(frame#);'..

I have a file comprised of 1 scene and two movie clips. The clips are instanced into the Main Timeline and occupy Frames 1 and 2 respectively.MovieClip1 is an animation that has navigation buttons that appear at the end of the clip. I'm trying to get mouse click navigation to make Frame 2 on the Main Timeline active.
Here is what I'm trying but it is not working:
btExplore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ExploreClick);
function ExploreClick (evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
this takes the animation to Frame 2 of the Movie Clip Timeline not Frame 2 the Main Timeline.

I've got a little animation that I'm going to embed in my website. I'd like it to start playing, say, 10 seconds after the page is loaded.
Is there an Actionscript command that effectively says "start play after 10 seconds"?
Or do I need to just add a bunch of blank frames within the animation to effectively start roughly 10 seconds in?
