ActionScript 1/2 :: Add A Time Delay Before Pushing To An Array?
May 16, 2009I have a function, loadXML, that loads an xml file with a list of locations to OTHER xml files. Within this function I load each individual xml file and run a new function, parseXML, to pass each of the variables I desire from the individual xml files into an array.
This all works fine and dandy on my computer, but when I run it online it breaks down.
What I believe is going on is that the initial xml file loads fine, but because the referenced xml files are on the web and are varying sizes, they stop loading sequentially and the data no longer corresponds to the xml file referenced in referenceListA array. (ie. all the data from each referenced file, item1, item2, and item3 will stay together because they are called at the same time, but will become mixed up from the referenced xml file).
This normally would not be a big deal, but because I want to also create a link BACK to the referenced xml file, sometimes the link will not lead back to right location (it will lead back to another xml file in the list).
I was thinking about adding a time delay somehow in the loadXML function to give time to load the newxml file, but that would still be problematic...
How can I make sure that the referenceListA[i] mathes up to its own information?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Copying An Existing MovieClip Instance And Pushing Onto Array?
Aug 31, 2009Here's what I am trying to do: I have an array of movie clip instances called iconArray[]. what I want to do is create the effect of shifting icons on screen right or left. Lets say we're shifting the icons left--what I want to happen is the icon on the left (iconArray[0]:MovieClip) to tween to the left about 20-30 pixels and then fade out, which I can currently achieve. The problem is I want copy the instance of that icon as a temp MC and push it onto iconArray and then have it fade in tween from the right.
In other words, the left most icon should "wrap" back around to the position of the right most icon but in order to create the illusion without having the left most icon pass over the other icons (which looks tacky) I want to create a copy of the left most icon and push it onto the array as a new movieclip with the same image and have that fade in from the right while the other one dies off.
[Code]...
it does not create a new icon, is seems to point to the same movie clip as iconArray[0] and any adjustments I make to the x or alpha affect the original MovieClip instance and not the new on I created and pushed onto the array.
How does one go about copying a movieclip, storing it in it's own instance/var so it can be displayed and manipulated as a separate entity?
Delay On Loading A Movieclip?
Apr 10, 2009I have a clip that's 1450 pixels wide, masked to 725 - basically a left side, and a right side. The left side will contain navigation for a portfolio, which when clicked, the movie plays 10 frames during which a movie clip called portholder will slide over from the right, and load the appropriate movie clip. Here's the code on one of the bits of navigation:
[Code]....
Essentially, I'm trying to replicate the effect Your Majesty is using. I'm sure there's a way of using actionscript to slide portholder back and forth, instead of using animation, but alas I'm not a scripter (as you can tell!). But what I'd REALLY like to do is to tell the container clip to wait until it's fully in position before loading whatever.swf, as opposed to having a movie already in progress moving across the screen. Basically tell portholder "Wait until your x value is 0 before loading whatever.swf" I thought about using the setInterval, as recommended to someone else on these forums, so tried:

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Delay A MovieClip's Show Up Time
May 29, 2010I want to replicate one of the Flasheff's function with AS2 script. The delay show function, where I can set how many seconds should a movieClip wait before it actually shows up.For example, I create 3 vector shapes on the stage. I convert them to movieClips (symbols). Instance names:
- one_mc;
- two_mc;
- three_mc;
When I test the movie, I want one_mc to show up right away, then after 1 second two_mc to show up, then after another second three_mc to show up, you get the idea.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Delay Action Of Button To URL?
Dec 20, 2010Created button that activates short animation AND ALSO connects to URL.
I want viewer to see full animation (26 frames that lasts about 1.5 seconds - 18 frames per second). Instead the button connects almost instantaneously to URL and viewer does not see animation.
Animation automatically plays (full loop - 26 frames) when viewer first opens swf/html. The same animation plays again when viewer clicks button to go to URL.
Is there some code in AS3 that can delay the connection to the URL until the 26th frame of the animation.I am beginner/intermediate to Flash and extreme novice to Action Script (get most of my AS coding from searches online). Need to be led by my hand in Action Script.[code]...
ActionScript 2.0 :: Delay Execution On Button
Apr 17, 2007I am trying to find a way to delay code placed on a button. The code is executed when a learner presses it and makes a specific movie clip appear. At the same time, this code checks to see if the other movies have been viewed (which is required) and if so, goes to the finished keyframe. The problem with this is, the last movie clip goes too quickly because the code immediately executes sending the learner to the last "Finished" frame. I am trying to find a way to either use a setInterval or something else to delay the execution of this last bit of code allowing the learner time to view it. Here is what I have placed on each of the movieclips:

View 1 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Possible To Delay Visibility Of MovieClips With Button?
Nov 19, 2009I'm attempting to make a "Wheel of Fortune" style game. Everything's going great except this one nagging problem. On the main game board screen (where the word puzzle is solved), I have placed small buttons with all the letters of the alphabet. When the player clicks a certain letter button, the corresponding letters, (if the word or phrase contains them) appear on the board. Well, this works just fine, but as of now, when a letter is chosen, all letters on the board appear at once.
Of course, in the real "Wheel of Fortune" game, if the word or phrase contains 2 or more letters that have been chosen, the letters appear on the board in a sequence, probably around 2 seconds apart (I'm sure most people are familiar with the game show). So, basically, I would love to know how to delay my letter MC's appearing, when the corresponding letter button has been clicked.

Feb 7, 2009I'm using tweenMax and I want a tween to start after the mouse has been hovering over the button for about 2 seconds.
Now, I have figured out the 'delay' function but that is not that useful because it just registers the fact that the mouse is over the button and starts the tween 2 seconds later, regardless of where the mouse is on the screen.I basically want the button to become active after the mouse has been over it for 2 seconds.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Trigger Animation - Conditional Delay On Button
Sep 7, 2010I have a bunch of buttons each one with a roll over on it that trigger an animation. So far no problem. The problem is that as I would like to add to the buttons a behaviour like this: if you roll over the button more than 200ms the animation happens else nothing happen.
Here is my code:
tab01_mc.buttonMode = true;
tab01_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverTab, false, 0, true); //this is one of the buttons
function rollOverTab (event:MouseEvent):void{
getTimer();
var delayTime:int = getTimer();
trace(delayTime);
if (delayTime >= 200){
event.target.gotoAndPlay("Over"); // over is the animation of the button
}}
But this isn't working because what getTimer actually does is return the time since the whole movie started not since the function star running. So my question is: is the a way to tell AS to start counting from 0 so that I can use the elapsed time as my condition to trigger the animation?

setInterval to 15000 and then
_root.button.gotoAndPlay(2); (this will display my image)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Slight Delay In Button Sounds During Sound Stream?
Jan 30, 2009I have some sounds on buttons:
Code:
var mySound:Sound = new myLibrarySound();
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(e:Event):void
[code]....
... and that works fine. I then have some streaming music:
Code:
var myStream:Sound = new Sound();
myStream.load(new URLRequest("myPath.mp3"));
myStream.play(0);
... and that works fine too. Now, however, the initial button sounds have a slight delay -- I'd estimate about 150-250 ms. It's enough that rollover click noises happen about the time you click, and click noises happen about the time you release, etc. Now, here's the KICKER. It only happens in FIREFOX. CURSE FIREFOX. Seriously. I've been having so many Flash issues in FF3, it just drives me nuts. Firefox and wmode is a pain, Firefox and sound is a pain, Firefox has been crap for Flash development lately.
