ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A Delay Via SetTimer, SetInterval Or Delay?
Feb 23, 2009
I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
ok what i have is an array that I want to display each image once when the page loads.so I tried the following, in in the init I called the function
[code]...
where the function setIcon tweens to the appropriate i in my array.When i go to publish this it doesn't ever activate the function playSlideShow, i tried activating it directly and it works, but i cant get a delay to it.What I want is for the swf to load, wait two seconds then activate setIcon(2).
I am trying to load a movie after a button is pressed. I can load the movie. I have since realized I need a delay.... I want to delay the playing of the movie, after the botton to load the is pressed.
I wan't to make use of both a interactive menu to move around the "slides" (as in the tutorial) and a automatic system that moves the "slides" with a delay with for example 10 seconds. I shall use this in a banner.
I have a question regarding the "Easing Menu"I wan't to make use of both a interactive menu to move around the "slides" (as in the tutorial) and a automatic system that moves the "slides" with a delay with for example 10 seconds. I shall use this in a banner.
Im new to action script and am just starting to understand it. Im trying to create a loop with a delay in it but am not having much luck passing growing variables to the new function.
I was wondering if there was a way to create a delay between tweens? for example i want one object to tween and then half way before that first tween finishes, a 2nd tween starts
I have a number of cases where I have a tween happening in ActionScript, but I would like it to happen after a delay from the event that triggers it. At the moment I'm creating this delay by having a tween that does nothing (eg. an "_x" tween for which the start and end points are the same) and then using tween1.onMotionFinished = function(){to create the one I really want. Is there a way to create this delay more neatly?
In last frame of my movie I have some code like this on: gotoAndPlay(125); Now I want to pause my movie in last frame for 10 seconds and then execute above code . How can I do it with AS 2.0?
I create 3 instances of the class below. I need to find a way to call them with a delay so they get added to the stage one after the other. Is there a class that lets me queue up functions? Or an economical way to do it with the functions built into flash.
at 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 some video which I have converted into .swfs I am trying to set delays to the three videos, so that the first swf plays on page load. The second loads after 30 seconds and the third after 45 seconds.
I 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:
i want to have a delay in my script.i got this button called "btn3", that is scripted to cycletrough some pictures when i click it. like a slideshow. but...iwabefore it shows. within these seconds a door will close, and whenit opens the next picture will be there. so you see, the picturecan not switch before the door is closed.someone told me i sholud use "setInterval method", but howand where?here is the code for the btn3, i guess the delay should comehere, or maby not...you tell me:)
btn3.onRelease = function() { this.currentObj++; if (this.currentObj>6) {
I want to repeatedly add a movie to the stage using add child so have created a loop to add it 30 times. How can I make it so they aren't all added at the same time. I'd like to be able to set an interval of time between them being added.
I Have Flash CS4 and a pretty decent system with Vista and 3 GB of RAM. However, whenever I click on anything in Flash, it takes about 3 or 4 seconds for it to become active. If I click a keyframe, the stage won't come up for 3-4 seconds, if I click the text tool, the cross hairs won't come up for 3-4 seconds, etc. It has been like this since I installed it...I am just finally getting my full of it.
is the following "getTimer" script correct to delay a dedicated frame in the animation by 5 seconds? is there any additional criteria to add in order to make it more solid?
ask:i want to create an audio sequence.there are 8 predefined sound-starting-points in the timeline.for each starting-point, the user can select wich sound is played (dropdown menu).when the user made his choice for all the 8 bars.actionscript should gather this information and create a fluid sequence of these 8 sounds.then there will be a "play" button available for the user to start the sequence.the sounds don't have to be synced to a button or so.there is time for actionscript to put the sequence together.problem:when i put two sounds directly one after another in a movieclip, there is no delay between the sounds, which is exactly what i want, but i can not control which sound is played through actionscript.when i use actionscript, there is a delay between the sounds.here is what i tried with as.this is placed in the frame where sound2 should start
if (_global.Sound2 == "Piano" { var SoundA:Sound = new Sound (); SoundA.attachSound("Piano.mp3");
Hon the wallets page, when you click to view a wallet you get a slight delay and I'm guessing that this is because I've put the preloader in the swf being loaded, hence not being able to see the thing your loading until its been loaded.how I would put the preloader in the main movie and what kind of code I would use? At the moment the timeline being loaded basically tells the playhead to goto and play frame (whatever) when the movie is loaded.
So on frames 10, 20, and 30 on my timeline I have these llines of code on each of them respectively:[code] This essentially "bounces" on my images. Can someone give me direction on how to set up a delay to make this happen all on one frame?[code]
What I have is a landing page on my customers site, I want to hold it there until the user clicks a button in the flash file it then plays a short sound, 2 seconds and redirects the page. I have tried setinterval and cannot get it to work. What I have loads the flash file and after the set time plays the file then redirects, cutting off the sound.
On Frame1
Code: var sndMusic = new Sound(); sndMusic.attachSound("mySound"); var duration:Number = 5000; // set the call delay
In my game the Superhero walks around the screen by pressing some keys. But between the moment you press the key and the moment the moment the Superhero starts to move there's a slight delay.
