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.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to put a delay or timer inside of a function, ie:
Code: Select all
this_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doThis);
function doThis(event:MouseEvent):void
{

So that where I have the function for the button make that movie clip go to frame 1, it would wait one second before going to frame 1.

I have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
View 1 Repliesvar timer:Timer = new Timer(x);
basically x is an array...
when timer.start() is invoked
it runs, the first count is 1000 ms, then the second 800 ms, and the third 6200 ms and so on. In other words, it's a dynamic change in the delay and not a continuous delay of x ms.
I need to use some sort of delay function and I don't know if there is one
like: sleep(milliseconds){
action
}
or something like that.
I am trying to delay the execution of the code within a function. But it is not working. I would like content of the doTour() function execute 25 seconds of interval.

I have a "News Bar" on my flash site that plays a movieclip I created to display the news. I would like a one-time delay of around 2.5 seconds before the movieclip starts playing. I'm comfortable with flash and am learning AS3 more and more everyday.

I have a simple Regular Flash slide show with 4 slides and an intro label. I need my Intro label to have a Timer or Delay event that holds on the "Intro" Label for a certain amount of time before the Timer expires and calls a function that tells FLASH to go on to slide "Slide 1" label.
The trick is i need this delay to run everytime the Timeline is at the "Intro" label as i have an animation playing while the timer or delay event counts down and finally at end goes to label "Slide 1" Can anyone share some simple code snipets that would point me in the right direction to accomplish this using AS3 ?
There seems to be a time delay problem when the slideshow is playing. It will start playing, but as soon as I click on the next or previous button to view another clip it will mess up the delay time and screw up when the pictures will play. Is there a way on how I can fix this ... I attached a link to see what is happening. The following script is what I have playing for the images.

I'm trying to make a timer..
When I press a button a movieclip does this: gotoAndStop(2);
I want it to go back to Keyframe 1 after 10 seconds.
How can I get this to work?
In addition to a timer i'm making I simplified my code, but i'm running in to an annoying problem when I try to input the Timer delay manualy. I want to enter the speed and the number my timer needs to start running trough an input textfield. The counting number is no problem, but when I try to do the same with my delay it wont take it. Is there a way to get around this? I keep getting this error[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have the idea of scripting animations, placing them inside a function, so then I can recall them whenever I want:
Code:
function eyesleft(){
eyes._x=0
eyes._x=-100
}
one question is I need some kind of delay timer to make the animation smooth, otherwise the animations would be all jumpy. Set interval seems a bit jumpy.
Ive noticed that i need a function that delays a callback. I use this quite often to delay animations and stuff. well anyhow. Before i just used Tweener to do this.Tweener.addTween(this, {time: 2, onComplete: callback}); This works fine but i belive that I get a small memory leak from this. So i made this static function. I think it look quite nice. But it only works sometimes.
[Code]....
If you try it with a loop of, say 10 so it will callback every one second for 10 seconds, its often it will skip a few. Have anyone noticed any problems with timer before or something similar. Or if you have a nice delay function you wanna share.
I'm building a continous move in flash, and I'm displaying some text and images and want to hold the timeline for about 20 seconds and then resume play again. I'm trying to write a simple timer in AS to keep from having to create 10000 frame long movie clips. Here's what I have so far:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame {
time = getTimer();
if (time == 20) {
play();
}}
Unfortunately, this isn't working for me, and 'm unsure why. I suspect two things,
A: my "time" var takes only a snapshot value of the timer and not a continuous value, so the timer never reaches the value of 20. Or,
B: I have somesort of syntax wrong and the if never gets a chance to load.
Is it true that the timer class uses an enterframe handler to check it's delay?
View 1 Repliesat the tail end of my Flash cs4, actionscript 3.0 college project and want to incorporate a countdown Timer Event when there is a 3 minute delay of usage in the flash movie (interactive).Below is what I understand and want to accomplish.Is it correct to place the actionscript code in the actions layer of the 1st frame within the 1st scene?And will it be recognized throughout all the scenes within the flash movie?1. Have the flash movie recognize a delay of usage (no clicking) after 3 minutes to start a countdown Timer Event.??Where would I add code to the timer to fire every 3 minutes during a delay of usage?
