is there an easy way to begin a timer onRelease that counts 5 minutes, when it is done, executes another function in the movie?I have found a lot of larger countdown timers for days and years, but I am having trouble simplifying to a matter of minutes and then executing a function.
View 4 RepliesI want to make a nine minute countdown timer. Just some event countdowns that include a date and all I need is a simple 9 minute countdown. The timer starts at 09 and ends at 00 ...So, that's pretty much it. Oh and I'm using dynamic text for the numbers.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a side scrolling flash game called Kit-Run using actionscript 2.0. I want to give each level a two minute time limit - ideally to have an enemy mc load that comes and kills you when it reaches 00:00.
I've found a lot of tutorials that count down time limits for dates, but none for a simple minute counter. I've started with a dynamic text field called "timeDisplay". What do I now??
I was thinking about indenting a countdown timer in my new room escape game, and I would like to know how to create a countdown timer with a set time field in minutes, rather than the other that goes by retrieving a date first. E.g. I would like to create one that counts down from 20 minutes, rather than one that gets the time and minute and date, and shows the correct time fields.
View 2 RepliesI need to make a countdown timer that starts at 1 minute, in this format 00:01:00.0.I found some code online that achieved this, but its in AS1. I've found some other examples/walkthoughs, but they are really basic and have no milliseconds.

I dont need a start button or anything else, just the countdown and when time is over just the numbers as 00:00:000
View 8 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?
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var count:Number = 11;

I have a Flash application that receives data from a php application in xml format. Would it be possible for me to call functions in flash that it receives in xml format?
Let's say the php application sends this:-
<data>
<command>gotoAndStop(15)</command>
</data>
Would I be able to get that function executed in the Flash application?
make function execute only once per second in ActionScript 2.0? As always I'll start from example to explain my problem...I have aprox. 15 buttons on my stageand all of them are calling the same function, but with different arguments. This function executes some effects, that lasts for 1 second. If someone will click on that buttons more often, than once per second, that will look horribleI can disable that button, what was pressed, but this will not solve the problem, be cause someone in a hurry can click another button

View 3 RepliesIn the Actionscript 3.0 Language and Components Reference > All Classes > TextField Class > Properties > htmlText HTML tags supported table, the description of the anchor tag has this sentence: "You can use the link event to cause the link to execute an ActionScript function in a SWF file instead of opening a URL." I don't understand how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Or, can someone point me to an example or reference that explains how to execute an ActionScript function in a SWF file using the link event?

I would like to download a function as a string from my server into a Flash swf-document on the computer of a customer. So this download would be executed client-side. Then I would like to 'execute' the string, just as I do with the 'eval'-function in php/javascript.The important thing here is that the function is not stored client-side on the harddisk (like the swf-document) and that the function only remains in the computer memory.
View 12 RepliesI am struggling trying to put together two or three tutorials in order to make a photo gallery with numbers as the navigation to work. I am almost there, the problem is that in addition to the numbers as navigation I also wanted to have the option to change the images using a previous and next button. Here is a link of what I am trying to do:

The reason the previous and next buttons don't work is because their functions are within a main function that is called onRelease of one the number buttons. Once you click the numbers, the previous and next start to work.
My question would be if there is a way to auto execute the function DisplayInfo as the XML file loads. See code Below:

I have an actionscript function that, after modifying some values and "executing" it, it has to return some specific result, my question is:
¿Is there a way to build a webpage that let users modify that function using a form and then execute it in order to get a result?
I'm trying to execute a function like window.alert for example, from actionscript, when both the html file and the swf file are using the file: protocol.without changing global flash security settings
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if you can make an eventlistener to trigger to execute a function when the window/tab viewing the swf is closed. I searched around, and there seems to be a way to do this with flash.external class and javascript, but some users have javascript disabled, so is there a way to achieve this without javascript?

View 9 RepliesI have some code that calls multiple functions for a single movie clip during a single event. For example:

The problem is only the first function call works (redClip.easeX(180, speed)). Is there a way for both function calls to execute?
is it possible to insert a delay before a function is executed.Here is a simple sample code where it could be used:

I've always wanted to figure this one out. If I have a dynamic text field with HTML text or even without, can I create a link that executes a function within Flash? I know I can create a link to itself with a variable and pass that variable through javascript and have it run, but that requires refreshing the browser. Is there a more seamless way to do it?
