ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Naming/referring To Movieclips?
Feb 15, 2010I am going to have a button that when you click on it it creates a movieclip and adds a certain child to it (In this case, its linkage is set as "Rifle"). Each time you click on the button I need to give the new movieclip a different instance name then the last, such as "Riflemen1", "RifleMen2" etc.. I will need to be able to refer to each movieclip seperatly in my code, such as for example:
You spawn three Riflemen.. You click on one of them, which selects it, you then click on an "Attack" button which makes only him start firing (in my case gotoAndStop(2)), you then decide you want the third one to attack and so forth..

Nov 30, 2006panning my content from left to right (with stop as intervals) then right to left (also with intervals)
1. I created an mc (name: "content")Notice in this mc, I layout 4 sets of text (like a page) from left to right
2. I created another mc (name: "pancontent_mc")
-I added a layer for "content" and created a motion tween for it to pan from left to right
-I created a mask layer on top of "content" that will show 1 set at a time
-I created an action layer that has total of 4 stops(); on each frame where the 4 sets of text will show directly under the mask.
3. maintimeline -There's only 1 layer. I placed an instance of buttons (left/right) and an instance of "pancontent_mc"
4. actions for right button, works fine and stops on each set of text.
on (release) {
this.pancontent.play();
}
5. actions for left button - none. I havent figured this out yet.
on (release) {
this.pancontent. - something like play previous frame until stop...

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Change Timer Intervals
Jul 31, 2010I'd like to change a timer interval, In my code I first initialize the timer with a selected interval with :
Code:
gameTimer=new Timer(interval,0);
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
gameTimer.start();
Then, I need afterwards to change the interval, so I try to stop the timer, remove the listener
Code:
gameTimer.stop();
gameTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
And when I init again the timer with the same code:
Code:
gameTimer=new Timer(interval,0);
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
gameTimer.start();
It's like if i had 2 timers, and when i stop the timer, it continues, I guess it's because of the new object that I create, but I can't found a method to change the interval of the existing timer..

View 6 RepliesFlash :: Start Or Seek To Sub-second Intervals With NetStream?
Jan 20, 2010I am working on a Flash Video player and am implementing the ability to start a video at x time within the span of an FLV (served from FMS). I am able to start it x seconds into a stream without any issue using
netStream.play(source, startTime);
but as far as I can tell, it only supports seconds. I am looking to be able to give a start time (or even a seek time if that is supported) in milliseconds, or really anything more precise than whole seconds.
Anyone know of any way to achieve this even by monkey patching the fl classes?

How often the movie changes is not critical, but I think once an hour will be fine. What's the best way to get Flash to automatically change the movie every hour and where should I attach any code - to an Actions layer in movie no. 1?
As a summary, here's what I want to achieve;
12.00pm - movie no. 1 plays
1.00pm - movie no. 2 plays
2.00pm - movie no. 3 plays
3.00pm - movie no. 1 plays again
...and so on for 24 hours until you get back to 12.00pm when movie no. 1 plays again.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Intervals Using Relative Object Positioning?
Feb 20, 2007check this code out:
[Code]...
I was wondering, is there a way to change if (myClip_mc._x < 400) { to a relative position of myClip_mc. I mean, i want myClip_mc to move 100px from it's current position everytime the button is clicked. Instead of only moving it if it's x position is less than 400. So it needs to somehow check it's current position everytime the button is clicked and then make it shift from that position. I know this is a long winded way of doing it but i want it this way so i can use it for something different.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Garbage Cleanup - OnEnterFrame, Intervals, ?
May 23, 2007A project I'm working on is working just fine at first, but as I perform more actions, it slows down noticeably. I've made sure to clear any onEnterFrame and setInterval events, so I don't think the problem lies there. Most likely, it's because practically every time an action occurs, much of the content on the screen is redrawn/recreated. However, every time I create a movie clip, text field, shapes, etc., I call a function to remove it beforehand:
Code:
function killThis(mc:MovieClip, thingsName:String):Void{
var obj:Object = mc[thingsName];
if (obj instanceof MovieClip){[code]..........
ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Intervals Being Created - Need One At A Time?
Aug 12, 2008Its seems a problem I am having is to do with setIntervals in a while loop. I clear what seems to be the interval but as another interval is started before the last one finish I then have multiple intervals. I can close them all down with this...
for (i= checkImage;i>0;i--){
trace("clearInterval(checkImage) " +i);
clearInterval(i);}
But that ofcourse closes the rest down before they have done what I need.
I think my while loop needs to change? Here is the current while loop code....
function loadImages(){
while (imageWidthList[leftPictureNumber+imagesDisplayed] > 0 and xPosition +(imageWidthList[leftPictureNumber+imagesDisplayed]+(borderThickness*3)) < 700) {
var img_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
linkLayer = this.createEmptyMovieClip("link"+(leftPictureNumbe r+imagesDisplayed), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
[Code] .....
Is there a way that straight after the setInterval and the loadClip the function watchMyImageLoad is run to completion before continuing in the while loop. What I have seen is that the while loop continues until the condition has been met and then all the intervals are run?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Intervals In Correlation To ENTER_FRAME?
Feb 9, 2009There are a few fairly intensive procedures the class goes through, which require me to stagger out the action taking place. That is to say, if I were to use recursion, there are times when I'd easily hit a stack overflow, so to compensate I'm avoiding recursion through recording information in class level variables and running through the routine again (and again and again) on an ENTER_FRAME event.
This all works great, and I'm happy with the result. The only annoying bit is that performance is better when the frame rate's higher (and slower when it's lower). Run the class at 30fps, and the time it takes to complete is significantly slower than at 120fps. No surprise there, but still annoying since I'm not interested in making the user make changes in their framerate to accomodate the class.
So I considered switching to a timer-based method, but then I remembered something about the Timer class accomodating the framerate of the SWF. Looking it up confirmed what I remembered:
...if a SWF file is set to play at 10 frames per second [fps], which is 100 millisecond intervals, but your timer is set to fire an event at 80 milliseconds, Flash Player will fire the event close to the 100 millisecond interval.
Now I'm wondering if it's even worth the effort, since it would appear that the end result would be much the same as it is now using enter frame.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Intervals In Movie Clips Won't Stop After MC Is Removed
