How would I pause the execution of code? In Python it would beCode:pause(number of seconds)but I have no idea how to do this in AS3. I don't want to pause the frame, only the execution of the code.

View 4 RepliesVisual Studio had a command "showDialog()" which allowed you to show your form as a dialog box on the screen. The advantage to this was that the code calling the dialog box would pause, stopping execution entirely until the dialog box closed. The benefit was you could write your code as follows (made "actionscriptey"):
Code:
var result:DialogResult = form1.showDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)

I am using Macromedia Flash Pro 8. I have a flash intro that has words (phrases) which slide in. I would like to add a 7 second pause between each phrase to give people time to read them (no buttons). Could someone tell me the script(s) to use with all functions, etc. included - as I am so new to all this. I have been looking for weeks & tried many codes but none seem to work - or I don't know exactly where to place them - or both
View 3 RepliesI have a timeline of 30 frames, each it's own mc (page01_mc, etc.). In each mc I show a picture or two and hear narration.I have a first, prev and next nav on the main timeline. I need to add a play/pause btn that will pause both pictures and sound. I assume I do that in each mc, but do not know where to find the code.Here is what is in each mc now:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("english/Intro01.mp3"));
mySound.play()

I am having a problem cancelling the execution of a function. When I click on the first of my navigation buttons, I have a fade in tween and an image loader load an external image. If I click on the second navigation button befiore the function for the 1st button finishes, the 1st tween and image loader continue to finish while the tween and image loader function for the 2nd navigation button starts. Essentially, there is an overlap. Is there a way to tell the 2nd navigation button to stop all other functions before it starts its own function? I suspect it has something to do with stopImmediatePropagation, but I am unsure of how to put this into the function.
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to halt execution in ActionScript, such as a sleep() method? I know that there is a setTimeout() method, but setTimeout() just sets up an event for deferred execution.
View 4 RepliesI've a problem, I'm using an AdvancedDataGrid. It loads about 3000 records with about 20 columns. I constantly get Flex execution timeout because the grid executes a lot inside LayoutManager. How can I make it asyncronousely or faster at all?
View 2 RepliesI am building a Flex and PHP application in which I am providing users a Save results option, which will invoke the php service that generates the results file. I then have the FileReference.download (url) function with the url of the file generated. Problem here is the popup to save comes before the file is even generated in the server. So user will get the incomplete file as the file generation will take atleast 10-15 seconds.
printToFile.token = customerTyped.printToFile(customerArray,displayno);
var filepath:String= "[URL]"+displayno+".txt";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filepath);
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.download(request);**
I think the function(service) call to PHP function
customerTyped.printToFile(customerArray,displayno);
does not wait for it to return and continues to execute the next statements asynchronously. How do I make the download dialog to wait from popping up until the printToFile php function is completed?
I'm querying Rotten Tomatoes' API for movies listed in an XML document. The problem I'm having is, whist iterating through and querying for each movie I'm hitting RT's API limit which, in turn, is throwing an IO error. Is there a way I can delay execution in a loop for about a second or so, to avoid this?
View 1 RepliesI'm designing a website with flash cs4 and actionscript3. Every section is made with a movieclip, which is faded in and out when a menu button is clicked.
I've noticed that the first time I click on a menu button, the fadein or fadeout effect of the corresponding section is not fluid (I'm using caurina tweener), but the section movieclip appears/disappears suddenly. I suppose it may be a buffering problem, because when I click the section button for the second time, the fadein and out is fluid.
how do you stop the execution of a function?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to find a way to delay code placed on a button. The code is executed when a learner presses it and makes a specific movie clip appear. At the same time, this code checks to see if the other movies have been viewed (which is required) and if so, goes to the finished keyframe. The problem with this is, the last movie clip goes too quickly because the code immediately executes sending the learner to the last "Finished" frame. I am trying to find a way to either use a setInterval or something else to delay the execution of this last bit of code allowing the learner time to view it. Here is what I have placed on each of the movieclips:

I have written a small bit of actionscript code which is designed so that small objects fly across a window from left to right at varying speeds, and then get moved back again with different attributes once they reach the right edge. The code is fully functional.My problem is that this eats a huge amount of system resources, and runs slowly on a 1Ghz machine. Is there a more efficient way to achieve this?

I have been trying to understand the way ActionScript's events are implemented, but I'm stuck.I know that AS is single threaded, which means that only one event handler will be executing at a time, and also means that handlers will be executed in a deterministic order*.For example, consider the following code:
1: var x = {executed: false};
2: foo.addEventListener("execute", function(){ x.executed = true; });
3: foo.dispatchEvent(new Event("execute"));

Is there a way to measure the average time it takes my code to run and each frame to render for my Flex app? More specifically, I know how to use getTimer() but I'm not sure about which events I should listen to in order to do this. I was reading this post and am not sure how you'd figure out how long the actual rendering took (it would seem like it may be the time between the RENDER event fires and the next ENTER_FRAME event fires, but I'm not sure). Also, not exactly sure where the user code happens, or whether I should care about EXIT_FRAME and FRAME_CONSTRUCTED. [code]...

So problem is with my static function's showConfirmation handler, if I go through debug, it just skips that function and continues doing myDispatchedEvent. Why doesn't anonymous function inside showConfirmation function execute?
Scenario: I have a simple external class with one function that takes about 2sec to execute. It gets some data and put it into a global variable (using a special class for this). From the first frame on the timeline I call this function, and then right after I trace the global variable.
Problem: The trace is actually executed before the function in the external class has finished executing, so the output of the trace is undefined.
I have a chicken walking on the screen. The legs are separate movieclips nested. After a while I had the chicken walking rightwards, with hittest(there must be a better way) at the end of the stage he turned to the left and then again to the right after hitting the left barrier. I also got his right leg going up and down for a smoother walk. I did this with Tweener. But then the problems started. I didn't get the left leg also to move up and down.
The chicken got more and more crazy. And now he starts walking backwarsds instead of to the right, as I intended to, after publishing. Who has a better idea of letting this chicken walk or a good hint for functions to be executed when I want? Tweener is good, but maybe not for this? The chicken doesn't have to respond to a mouse action (maybe later), this is the code, for which the walking to the left apparently seems to be executed first....
ActionScript Code:
function walking() {
Tweener.addTween (kip, {x:kip.x+60,
time:1,
transition:"easeInOutQuint",
onComplete:walkingright});
//onStart:walkingrightstart});
The collission with hittest is also not really smooth but I can't think of something else. I am at a stage where I can't develop 3D moving.
