I have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.

I have a news rotator that is populated from an RSS feed. The rotator has a timer that cycles through the news items, displaying a link and image and title for each item. I have the put in three buttons for the user to control the item that is displaying. A pause, forward and backward button.
My issue is that I'm not sure how to implement the button without messing up my timer that is already running. I was able to do the Pause button, which was simply to stop the timer. The forward and backward buttons are a bit more tricky. This is what I have so far. Note that I have much of the code duplicated because I needed to initialize the objects for the first timer index. After the first item, the code runs from the timerHandler() function.

How do I code AS 3.0 to have multiple buttons on a frame selected sequentially? I have on frame with 4 buttons programmed to go to a specif frame when clicked. However, I want the buttons selected selected sequentially, so a user can not just click the last button and be finished with the CBT.

View 3 RepliesI would like to add a timer that keeps track of total time and also current time that runs next to my seek bar component for my flash movie. How can I do this? For example: 1:11 | 2:04 ... the 1:11 displays the current time of the movie and the 2:04 would represent the total time of the video.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to make my own flash game based on the kirupa tutorial: url...My scripting is very similar to the scripting in the tutorial, but I obviously adapted it to my own design. Now Iïż½m trying to add a time limit, which when the time reaches 0 it jumps to the time up screen. I have spent two whole days searching on google, trying loads of suggestions, trying to figure this out myself.[code]This scripting works on a test page (i.e. away from the actual game) but when I try to add it to my game it deletes the main movieclip (in this case a tank) which is used to play the game.
View 3 RepliesI've looked all over the web and everyone can teach you how to make a timer for your game or a countdown, but I can't seem to find out how to add time to an already counting timer. So here is my counter class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code] .....
That works without any issues or problems and just keeps counting upwards at a speed of 100ms, what I want to know is how to add say 30 seconds if something happens in my game, say you kill an enemy for example.
I finally added a timer into my XML AS3 gallery, but when the timer starts the images dislocate..
What is the problem here? I manually set the width and height in the XML with difficulty... (Because I couldn't find a way to automatically set the image to the horizontal and vertical center..)
But why does the position changes when the timer starts to play (every 10 secs)?
This is wat it looks like when the timer hasn't started yet (or when I browse through the images with the arrow buttons):

I made an app (Towers of Hanoi) and i added a "demo" button that solves the problem based on a recursive function. The button is supposed to make a move one step at the time, i mean one step at every few seconds so you can actually see how the algorithm works. The problem is i haven't really used the timer event before and i have no idea how to implement it in this particular scenario.

I am creating a game and want to reward the player at the end of a level by playing an animation.

I'm making a game and it has a 20sec timer in it and I want to make a button/powerup thing that adds 5 seconds to the timer when you press it.I'm currently using: -
Code:
timerBTN.onPress = function(){
_root.countdown += 5;
[code].....
The game contains a timer which displays on screen and counts up displaying hours, minutes and seconds.
When the hint button is pressed the game adds 1 to the penalty counter.
Code:
penalty++;
What I want to happen is for 20 seconds to be added the time shown at the end of the game for every time the hint button is pressed.
Below is the timer code:
Code:
function TimerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void{
var Seconds:String = String(uint(MyTimer.currentCount%60));
var Minutes:String = String(uint((MyTimer.currentCount/60)%60))
var Hours:String = String(uint((MyTimer.currentCount/60)/60));

Code: Select all/* Simple Timer
Displays a countdown timer in the Output panel until 30 seconds elapse. This code is a good place to start for creating timers for your own purposes.
Instructions:
1. To change the number of seconds in the timer, change the value 30 in the first line below to the number of seconds you want.
var celebration:Celebration;
var fl_TimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000,30);
fl_TimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_TimerHandler);
fl_TimerInstance.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, removeTimer);
fl_TimerInstance.start();

I set up a loop where a movie clip moves in a triangle over and over. It works, but I want it to pause for 5 seconds at each location, so I added a Timer (my first attempt). Now, it will go through the triangle once, pausing correctly, but then the main movie clip (target_mc) stops in the original position and never moves again.
Code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var xMove0:Tween;
var yMove0:Tween;

View 3 RepliesI am building a pretty heavy application that allows me to load one or more external swf(s). To remove the swf(s) from the main stage I have built a button. The purpose of this button is that the user has to hold it down for a short while to prevent accidentally removing the swf loaded. In my button class I had set a timer that would start when a MOUSE_DOWN event is fired. The timer itself has an event listener TIMER added that "ticks" every 1 ms. The main problem is that it just doen't do this. The timer function fires at (as it seems to me) much long and random intervals that are also different for each swf that is loaded. So a heavier swf results in the timer being fired even less often and a thus a lot more inaccuracy. Does anyone of you have an idea on how to fix my timer issues or just have a better idea on how to achieve the delay i want to build in the button.
View 4 RepliesBasically my project is like this, if the time condition is not meet, then it will display a default swf. If meet,then it will unload the default swf and display certain blank swf which will addchild certain image and words based on record in database. Then when the time is reach the end of duration, it will unload the blank swf along with the images and words and upload back the default. how to do in such a way like automatically unload a default swf and load the blank swf along with objects when the time is meet with computer system time and vice versa.

View 3 RepliesHow do I add a label to a button? Using a component button, in CS3 it seemed quite straightforward however CS4 has me stumped. I am trying to make up a website with a row of buttons across the top to appear in all the pages. I have a controling page names portfolio.fla and several other pages to link in with this one. I have placed a button in the library from the components tab in the windows tab. Then dragged out 5 buttons and have them all working properly and linking up to the other pages, but when I went to place labels on them found myself having problems. Clearly not a good day for me.
