ActionScript 2.0 :: Pause/Play A Countdown Time?
Jun 25, 2009
I have this code which creates a timer that counts down from the specified time (displayed in a dynamic text box named timer);
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
var currTime = getTimer();
var targTime = Number(555) * 1000;
[code]....
I want to stop and start again the timer (from the time at which it was stopped) by clicking a pause and play button.I have this code on the pause button (which works to stop the timer);
on (press) {
_root.timer = timeLeft;
}
I can't get the play button to start the timer again from the time it is stopped at.

Im trying to design a countdown timer, with the ability to set the countdown time through buttons.I would like to have the dynamic text field to display the countdown numbers in HH:MM:SS format.I would also love to have a 30 minute button, and a 15 minute button which generates the time in the text field.Then a start and stop button to begin or end the countdown sequence.

I am trying to make an animation that will pause and start again after a certain time. The problem is I don't have any experience with Actionscript (or programming of any sort for that matter)..I found this link that appears to explain how it's done, but I can't seem to replicate it. I'm not even sure which version of Actionscript this is.. [URL]

I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.

I've found numerous resources about getTimer() and stuff but I can't get a grip on the function. I want to create a very simple countdown timer where the total time is 10min and when you press a button it starts counting down and if you press another button it pauses and if you click again resumes the countdown! Furthermore if not too complicated I want to show the seconds as well, for example 9min 40sec etc.

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

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 a timer script[code]...
wrongBtn will decrease time by 10 seconds, correctBtn will increase time by adding 10 seconds.But when the timer second is around 2:05 and I press wrongBtn, the time is displayed incorrectly, like this: "2:0-5". Likewise, when the time is around 2:55 and I press the correctBtn, the time will be displayed as "2:65"...
How can I get this working, so that the output is displayed correctly?

I've used the .fla provided within this tutorial - this is also found here - to get a countdown that gets its time from the server, as opposed to the time of the clientHowever, making no alterations (other than the year to make it current), it doesn't work, as it alters when you change your computers local timeI have verified this with a friend in the USA, and within another test file where the countdown was set to 8pm server time, it was both showing 8pm for each of us (when i'm GMT and he is EST - 5 hours difference)I have uploaded the files within the same directory on our server, and have also changed the server.load url from both the default 'gettime.php' to a more specific url ofjust in case that made a difference, but alas notHere is the php file used:

I created a game in AS3 using a tutorial written for AS2 but I can't get the timer working correctly. The game contains 3 frames, a start screen, game loop, and end screen. the timer starts on frame 2, and counts down (tested this with a trace). When the timer reaches 0 I want to go to frame 3 which is the end game screen but my code isn't working.
var fl_SecondsToCountDown:Number = 30;
var fl_CountDownTimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000, fl_SecondsToCountDown);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_CountDownTimerHandler);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.start();
theTimer.text = String(fl_SecondsToCountDown);
