ActionScript 1/2 :: Movie Clip Display And Timer?
Sep 1, 2010
I have been working on a flash game for the past couple days and it is my first major game so there have been alot of issuesI think I finally have everything figured out with a few exceptions , they are.1. The movie clip that serves as my pop up window is popping up behind all my moving icons.I need it over top of them obviously.2. I need to figure out a simple way to pause time while the pop up is up and resume time when it disappears.3. I need to add about 5 seconds to the game clock when the user shoots a question mark so that it appears as though the clock was stoppedonClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (_root.time == 30) {_root.speedz = 9;_root.intervaln = 30;}if (_root.time == 10) {_root.intervalz = 10;}if (_root.time ==0) {_root.gotoAndStop(3); }}

I have created a movie clip consisting of about 27 dots named 'timer', I double clicked on 'timer' and animated it (making one dot disspaer every 15 seconds). My problem is that at the end of this animation I want it to go back and play a frame on the outside scene.
i.e. from the 'timer' editing scene (the one you get to when you double click) I want it to gotoAndPlay (103, "Game") - The scene the movie cliip is in.
I keep getting an error saying that it cannot locate Scene Game.

I have this code here to count down every 10 seconds and load an external random movie clip. It works once, but I would like to have it start the timer again-
code:
displayTime = 5;
function countDown() {
displayTime--;

I have a movie clip in my library and I would like to display it on the stage using AS3.
do I have to define it as a variable?Do I need to use this code: addchild(movieclip); can I use the 'x' and 'y' to position it?
What would the code look like?

I have followed the XML Video tutorial and everything works fine however Lee says you can use a movie clip to display the contents of the XML file instead of one of Flash's built in components. Is there a way to create your own drop down menu or simple text field?

I have a movie clip symbol that is place on my main time line.I want the movie clip to display frames for (x) seconds then go to the next frame.I have a chunk of code that works by itself but when placed into my flash site it is causing some strange problems. Such as navigating to a label (page) prior to the movie clip that has the wait function code, freezes the flash.I am wondering if I need _root or a this in there somewhere.
The reason I want to do this is so I don't have to add a bunch of frames to get the pause time I need.Is there a way to use the code below and not have it cause problems with the rest of my time line?Here is the wait function code
stop();
i = 1;
function Wait() {[code].....

I want to load a range of images (20-30) each contained in a movie clip, and position them on the stage in a grid (table) format using actionscript. These images will be loaded from an XML file to make updating them a simple task in the future.
I have followed a tutorial to produce a "carousel" and this allowed me to have as many images as I wished loaded by the actionscript. I am sure that it is possible to have the items arranged however one would like provided you code the script correctly, and this is my problem. I cannot work out the correct code to get the movie clips into the desired arrangement.
how to position the items in various arrangements/patterns. I do not want a scrolling thumbnails solution. I want them to be multi-row/column.

basically i would like to dynamically display and preload an image onto my main movie clip. this image would be the first item in my xml file. on my main timeline i would like to have a few buttons that a user could click to change the default image on the page.
when they select a new image, i would like to have the preloader appear above the default image and then tween between the old and new image (one fading out and one in kinda thing).i sourced some code but i've been having problems preloading the first image. the image loads but the preloader doesn't do anything. it seems like the preloader doesn't seem to recognise that i'm trying to load an image. it thinks it's fully loaded and carries on before the load can begin!i would also like attach a different preloader for the first image displayed than the ones being loaded via the buttons.

Basically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

I have an animation of footprints being left on the ground as if by an invisible man or ghost. the animation consists of:
1 movieclip containing --> 5 footprints each one is an individual movieclip. Each print fades in and out using the Tween class with an alpha effect
The main timeline uses the following code to create random instances of the animation:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(12000);
myTimer.addEventListener("timer", timedFunction);
myTimer.start();
[Code].....
so it looks like the function is being called correctly and removing the first instance of FOOT from the stage. but the 2nd iteration generates the error. Is this is a problem with the timer? I would like to send this to someone for examination and assistance.

I'm on the last stage of developing my game, and I need to display a countdown timer, lasting 3 minutes. I want to display the time counting down in the format "3:00" and then when the timer hits the full 3 minutes an event is fired and it stops, and I display a few other things along with it in the same function. The difficulty I have is actually doing the bit where I display the timer and update it accordingly. If there is any genius out there who can do this (In AS3) then you are my new best friend. I only have a few hours till my submission deadline, and this thing is KILLING ME!!! hypothetically.

I'm building a simple audioplayer. In frame 1 I have:
Code:
mySound = new Sound();
songs = new Array("1.mp3", "2.mp3");
songIndex = 0;
mySound.loadSound(this.songs[songIndex], true);
mySound.start();
var playing = true;
[Code] .....
So, the sound begins to play from the beginning. However the problem is with the timer: when 'stop' is pressed it says 0:00. But, when I press play again it immediately jumps to the time it showed when stop was pushed, e.g. 0:12

I've been asked to make a flash countdown timer. I want to use a dynamic text field to display the numbers, but have a few buttons that go with them. I want to be able to press the button, and a set time is generated in the dynamic txt field, i.e. 10 minutes, 15 minutes & 30 minutes. The idea is that the user will press 30 minutes, then start, then the countdown will commence, and same for the other time increments.

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
