Professional :: Extend A Part Of Timeline By E.g 5 Seconds?
Aug 1, 2011I have a timeline composed of 10 layers, having got keyframes and tweens etc all positioned, I need to make part of it e.g. 5 secs longer. How is this done, I can highlight one column of frames and right click and choose insert frame but doing that for 120 times (5 x 24fps) is going to take too long. I hoped to see in right click an option for add frames with a duration or number of frames entry window.I saw something on the internet that said select a width of frames and hit F6 but for me that launches a screen capture prog and I cant see where in that prog F6 is nominated for that capture.

Dec 7, 2009When I try to open Flash, the splash screen appears and then stops. If I try several time, it may open and then most likely not at the very beginning, but at the point where I browse for the .flv file.
If i get it open, usually at the point where I browse for the .flv file, and I select a .flv file and start the process, the progam freezes at the preview point.
I have to use the processes bar in Windows Task Manager to close the program any time it freezes.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Size Grows The Preloader Will Stall Before Appearing
Aug 8, 2003I set up a preloader like the one in the tutorial "Percentage Preloader with Load Bar". It works fine until I try to use it on my big movie. After fooling around with it for a while it seems to be messing up progressively worse as the size of the movie grows. For example, with a very small movie, no worries. As the movie size grows the preloader will stall before appearing, that is if I test it with the ctrl+enter ctrl+enter method it won't show up right away, and when it does it will already be at 5% or so. Finally if I make the movie size even bigger (still only 700kb) the preloader won't show up at all. The only thing I could think of maybe was that the bytes_loaded variable is overflowing?.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Using GetTimer() As A Cache Killer?
Jan 31, 2011I have recently been working on a Flash file that dynamically loads a movie based on the contents of a simple XML file. I was concerned about caching issues so tried to set up the code to avoid the XML file being cached causing the wrong content to be loaded. I did this by adding a dummy query string to the file link which is a numerical value generated by getTimer().In practice the system mostly worked but occasionally old content would load even though the XML had been changed. The code runs a setInterval that checks the XML every 20 seconds and checks if the loaded file specfied has changed. The code loads the XML with the following code:
The getTimer() functions starts counting in milliseconds as soon as the movie runs so there is a chance that the same query string is assigned to more than one file, meaning that an old cached version is loaded instead of the new, live file. I am now thinking about ways to improve this code and generate unique values for the query string. I thought using the epoch time - the time in milliseconds from which Flash calculates time and dates which is set to Jan 01 1970 - would generate a new value every millisecond and maybe adding an additional random number to that value to further reduce the chance of the same query string being generated more than once.
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
var nowDate:Date = new Date();
nowTime = nowDate.getTime();

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To GetTimer Doesn't Re-initialize
Aug 9, 2004I have a simple slideshow that is non-interactive. It just loops five movie clips loaded externally. Each slide is shown for a certain amount of time that is determined with getTimer.The code for the slideshow is in the last frame of the root timeline. So, basically the slideshow starts when the root timeline finishes playing. The problem is that the timer works great the first time the code plays, but when I tell the player head to back up and enter the frame again, the clips play very rapidly, as though getTimer was not being initialized.
Here is the code:
stop();
square._alpha = 0;

ActionScript 3.0 :: GetTimer(); For Download Speed Variable
Sep 16, 2009i have an .fla, which loads goes to different frames in the timeline according to the download speed of the user. i understand how it should work... start timer > upload file > stop timer > calculate download speed - easy?
so what is this simple code im missing to find the download speed? from my fruitless searching, the only relevant code i could find, is this:
Code:
var time1 = getTimer();
targetClip.loadMovie("example.swf");
targetClip.onLoad = function()
[Code]....
... but i have test this, which gives an undefined property error grrr.... so what is the actionscript 3, to find the value of the download speed?
AS3 :: Flex - GetTimer() Method And The Timer Class?
Jun 18, 2009I'm in the process of making a game (a shmup) and I've started to question the accuracy of the timers in ActionScript. Sure, they're accurate enough when you want to time things on the order of a few seconds or deciseconds, but it seems to perform pretty poorly when you get to finer ranges. This makes it pretty tough to do things like have a spaceship firing a hundred lasers per second.
In the following sample, I tested how long (on average) the intervals were between 1000 timer ticks intended for 30ms. Time and time again, the results are ~35-36ms. Decreasing the time, I found the floor on the timer delay to be ~16-17ms. This gives me a max fps of ~60, which is great visually but also means I can't possibly fire more than 60 lasers per second :-(. I ran this test a few times at 100 and 1000 loops, but for both the 30ms test and the 1ms test the results didn't change. I print to a textField at the end because using trace() and launching the swf in debug mode seems to negatively affect the test. So what I'm wondering is:
Is this test a decent measure of the Timer class's performance, or are my results questionable? Will these results change dramatically on other machines? I understand this is dependent on the getTimer() method's accuracy, but the discussions I find on this topic usually center around getTimer()'s accuracy on larger intervals.

Actionscript 3 :: GetTimer Results Between MOUSE_MOVE Events
Jun 27, 2010I'm programatically dragging the play head back and forth along a timeline based on a mouse event listener. The faster the mouse drags the faster the playhead rips through the frames (it's linearly proportional). I'm also firing a starter=getTimer(); event at the inital mouse_move Event trigger (and only on the initial event) and then firing a ender=getTimer() at the end of the code that calculates the new playhead position, but only if the calculation has resulted in the playhead being told to move at least one frame (the mouse can move a few pixels before playhead will move one frame). In essence it's giving me a frame per second rate.
If I look a the delta of the two timers I rarely get anything but 0. Occasionally I'll get a 1 but not very often. There are a good few dozen heavy lines of code that need to be worked out between the initial mouse_move and the decision to move the play head, and this has to be done for a number of mouse position changes before the playhead will move at all and the second getTimer call is triggered. Does the mouseEvent trigger every ms or does it trigger at the frame rate (enterframe rate) of the doc. If so the smallest delta I should see is 31ms.
This runs as an app in the standalone swf player (10.1) and never in a browser.
Are my results indicative of this? Can the compiler really run this fast? How does one do very small timing tests that appear to be beyond the millisecond clock granularity?
