ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Clock - Telling Time And Making Noise?
Jun 23, 2004
I was thinking the other week - wouldn't it be great to have a flash clock that not only tells a classy analogue time but also, like a church clock, gives out bell noises when the hour is reached, an also chimes the number of hours the time corresponds too. So at 1pm/am it will chime once, and at midnight you get 12 chimes and so on, I'm sure you get my meaning. I'm not great when it comes to working with sound, infact I've never added much more than a custom click noise on a button. How to go about this? I've attached a nice church bell noise for y'all just incase.
I have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true; function clockHandler(e:Event) {[code].....
What is the easiest way to add a chime noise on the hour or every 15 minutes to my AS3 clock? I have the code all written for my date/time calendar and I thought it would be neat to add a sound. This is my AS3 code: import flash.events.Event; import fl.events.ColorPickerEvent; import flash.geom.ColorTransform; theTime.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showTime); seconds.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME,showSeconds); [Code] .....
Lately I have been trying to animate the water surface giving it more natural look by use of Perlin noise. But it seems it is very CPU intensive operation. And if I use it along with other animations on the stage which involve lot of movements then it become really difficult for the machine to render the entire scene.
I'm seeing lots of cool clocks made in flash, but they load the time based on your machine's date and time. I want to construct a clock which takes the time from an official time server so it will always be up to date.
I have been trying to create a visual noise pattern using bitmapData.noise, and with help from Rothrock and Kglad have created a working version.I checked with a colleague who is expert on the use of these visual patterns, and he suggested that the change speed is too fast: that the dots (pixels) need to change at just under 400 dots per second for an 800 x 600 stage.With beginner skills in AS3, I am unsure if there is any way to change the script to slow the rate of dot change in the bitmapData.noise function?
I need to make a clock that starts at 10:00:00 (showing 10 hours, minutes, seconds).It needs to count up to 12:00:00 (in real time) and if it hits 12:00:00 then it starts over back at 10:00:00
I'm building a customized clock at the moment. For seconds i'm using 12 movieclips with bars inside (fig1) For every second a bar lights up. I can get the number of "group" to pick and the number of "bar" to light up but i can't actually make them light up because I'm not sure how to actually select the group of bars according to the time.
My movieclips are called "group0", "group1" etc. and inside I made different states depending on how many bars light up (fig2) fig1 fig2 Here's my code:
var now:Date;var hour:Number;var min:Number;var sec:Number;var group_access:Number;var specificbar:Number; addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, settime);
I'm trying to make a clock that goes to a frame with a set amount of bars across the screen at 8 am. Then every 15 minutes it goes to another frame where one bar is gone and a certain action happens. It's just a joke clock to countdown the workday. But after it switches over the clock stops telling time. I have a dynamic text named Clock_text I tried putting this actionscript in the first frame:
ActionScript Code: time=new Date(); // time object var seconds = time.getSeconds()[code]....
and so on for the corresponding frames going to the 5 o clock celebration page. After it switches over to frame 3 the clock stops working.
I know how to read the time from a user's pc's clock, however, I'm wondering if you can break the individual digits down so they get inputted into individual text boxes, (i.e., 2 text boxes for the hours, 2 text boxes for the minutes, and 2 for the seconds... I need to convert the time somehow to strings?
Is it possible to make flash mx to take the time on the system and make it run a determined frame. I want to make a clock that shows the real time. How can I do it?
i have been creating many flash clocks, but with the normal code, i mean, the code to show the time on every computer of each visitor.
What i must know is how to make a normal flash clock show the time of a specific world time zone, i know that they work from -5 , -4 ... 0 ... +1 , +2 ... .
So i have this flash clock, and it has this action script code:
I want to make a clock but not just the time straight from my computer. I want to make my sort of own time zone clock. Is there any tutorial on making that here or an explanation?
I've was trying to make a flash clock. this clock shows local time . I try to make time for different countries
i need three clocks on my web site for example NEW-YORK, LONDON and local time. is there any solution to change the code and add time for other countries
I am working on an application to display GMT time and CST time in a swf. I am able to make the clock display time in GMT. When I check for time in CST it seems to be 1/2 hour behind. I am bit confused and code is junk now (So not up in the forum).
I 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?
In my application I want to show 5 clock. In the clock shows international time depend on country based But Normal clock time I will get sytem time (getmintues and gethours) and show. How can show all country time? I tried below code for animation.
public function createChildren() : Void { border_mc = createClassChildAtDepthWithStyles( _global.styles.rectBorderClass, DepthManager.kBottom, { styleName : this }); // create the empty movie clips in the order [Code] .....
I'm having a lot of trouble getting my AS3 code to work. 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.
I tried the digital clock tutorial on Kirupa, but it doesn't display the correct time, For example if my cpu clock says 3:00 PM, Saturday, November 13, 2004 the tutorial clock says 15:00 AM, Saturday, December 13, 2004.
I'm trying to create a clock which shows the time returned by the server. get this code working with the server time on..(E.g.: time.php returns 1295532770)
server = new LoadVars(); server.onData = function (src){ clock_txt.onEnterFrame = time;[code]....
I want to know about countrywise digital clock. I have a map and when I mouseOver on a country then it should show the time of that that country.like when i over on india then it should show the indian time and when i over on china then it should show the chinies time..
I am doing an interactive map which I will like to change to another map scene when the clock in your computer will tick in a particulaty time, like, 1 o 2 o'clock. I also created a clock which is in the map as reference of the real time in your computer. This is the address where I uploaded the draft of these projetc.[URL]
I tried the digital clock tutorial on Kirupa, but it doesn't display the correct time, even the example on the tutorial page is wrong. For example if my cpu clock says 3:00 PM, Saturday, November 13, 2004 the tutorial clock says 15:00 AM, Saturday, December 13, 2004. Could someone show me how to fix this,
