I am playing around with the timedate.getHours(); function and I was wondering how I might go about setting up a condition whereby between 3am and 3pm, movieclip1 loads and between 3pm and 3am, movieclip2 loads?
I'm sure it's not that difficult but I'm not sure how to structure the if/else statement or read the hour from the timedate function.
how one might change a site element based on the users computer time? What we are trying to do is change the color of the sky and shade of the buildings in a cityscape scene on a cartoonish style site. If it is 9:00 PM on the site visitor's end, they will see a nighttime colored scene. If it's 7:00 AM, it would be sunrise-ish.

Basically I am making a Turn Based battle system. Each Frame is an attack. So for the enemy I did this:
(in scene Frame) attack = Math.round (Math.random ()*2)+0;
so it would randomly attack
then I also put in this in an object INSIDE my enemy clip
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.attack == 1 || _root.attack == 2){

you see what ive tried to do here havent you?
why isnt it working? it plays, the random value thing works(used dynamic text box to check this) so what am i missing? (using AS2)
use Flex which has a great constraint based layout system architecture by default, but in Flash CS3 there is no built in way to do this. To create intelligently resizing layouts, you have to manually resize each element on a stage resize event. This can create obscene amounts of code really fast, especially if you start to work in simple arithmetic to avoid hard coding in positions, such as "stageWidth-obj.x-obj.width" etc.
Is there any code library to do this for you built in AS3? I basically want something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var layout = new Layout();
layout.header_mc = 'left|right|top';
layout.left_mc = 'left|top|bottom';

I currently have a system that takes the users order and then sends the data to a php file where the details are then emailed to the shop admin. I accomplish this by using...
ActionScript Code:
//Retreive and pass the information to a PHP page
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.vItemCode=menu4dynamictext.text;
variables.vBaseColor=basecolorpickertext.text;
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("sendmail.php");
[Code] .....
However I need to change this system so that rather than each order being sent automatically, the details are stored in an array so that a cart system can be produced somehow! It doesn't need to be overly secure, the system simply needs to email colour details etc to the admin.
I'd like to create a rating and comments system to the video site I'm working on. Basically the user will rate the video (stars or thumbs up) from 1-5, have the new rating process and improve or lower the video rating automatically. For the comments the user will be able to write and send the comment and then either have it posted automatically with the option for the site moderator to erase any offensive comment or have it sent to a database for approval first and then post it by the site moderator. I assume I need a php form and action script code?

We have an "application" consisting of a large number of PDF files that link to each other.
Some of the PDF files have links that must be a web URL when running on a PC (or a Mac) but need to open a specific application when running on an iPad.
When not on the iPad, the links look like "http://10.85.1.102".
When on the iPad, they look like "netcam4://2" - which opens the NetCam4 application with camera 2 selected.
NOTE: this is already working but we have to create two versions of the PDF and it would be much better to have only one.
Is there a way using JavaScript (or ActionScript or whatever) for the PDF to determine in which OS it is being displayed and modify the link appropriately?
We don't care if this decision is made when loading the PDF or when the link is clicked.
By the way, so far we have found that GoodReader on the iPad is the only PDF viewer that will properly follow links - including those to the NetCam4 app.
I want to have a variable which changes from time to time based on certain parameters.
For Example:
var poop:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){if(donkey==1){poop = 2;}
if(donkey==2){poop = 5;}
}
But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.

I have a REGISTERED Flash media server version with update 1 and when i try to start it I have this error in the evnet log : "FMS has detected system time is going backwards;shutting down server" i try to reinstall it, the system clock is ok
View 5 RepliesI want to calculate the number of ms elapsed between 2 time points for measuring reaction time. The system clock change (e.g. from auto sync) messed up the calculation.The function flash.utils.getTimer is supposed to return the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the Flash runtime virtual machine for ActionScript 3.0 (AVM2) started. This number of milliseconds is not affected by system clock change on Windows, but this is not true on Mac. The Date class is affected by system clock change on Windows or Mac.Is there any other timing function that returns time which is not affected by system clock change on Mac?

I have made a digital clock that grabs the system's time and I want to be able to control the speed of the time by using a slider and a button to reset the time back to the system's clock. Any idea how I go about doing this? I figure I need to grab the system's time and then stop it and create my own clock by increasing the seconds by 1.

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a card game in ActionScript 3. Each card is represented by an instance of a class extending movieclip exported from Flash CS4 that contains the card graphics and a flip animation. When I want to flip a card I call gotoAndPlay on this movieclip.When the frame rate slows down all animations take longer to finish. It seems Flash will by default animate movieclips in a way that makes sure all frames in the clip will be drawn. Therefor, when the program frame rate goes below the frame rate of the clip, the animation will be played at a slower pace.I would like to have an animation always play at the same speed and as a consequence always be shown on the screen for the same amount of time. If the frame rate is too slow to show all frames, frames are dropped. Is is possible to tell Flash to animate in this way?

Is there a way to load a MC based on an internal clock (or if that's too complicated, a digital clock based on the Digital Clock tutorial)? I also read up on the Loading Random MC tutorial, which is helpful but rather than it being random is there a way to set it so that the MC loads, for instance, everyday at noon? And it would keep this MC generated for 24 hrs until the next one that loads 24 hrs later.
