ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Time Interval For Dup MC?
Oct 25, 2007
I have "leaf" MC that floats across the screen. It's affected by a wind generator. I want to duplicate the leaf movie clip at random time intervals (between 2-9 secs).I can get the random time interval, I can dup the MC. How do I get it to re-set the interval and dup the MC at the new random time interval?The final effect I'm after is a MC that reproduces at random intervals every single time.
Some of my code so far:
// set time in between each clip
var seconds:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(8+1))+2;
// initialize depth
var depth:Number = 0;
URL...I have created an animation which has the bird fly up & chirp, and would like to replace all the birds with this.For now I have replaced all buttons w/ the animation on stage and they all lie on the 1st frame. But thats kinda not what I want.How can I get any one bird animation to play, one at a time, at a random interval of 15-45 seconds?
I have a picture on the stage covered by 12 squares (sq1, sq2, sq3.......sq12) When the movie opens I want the squares to move down, but i want a random sequence ( 3, 9, 2, 12...........8). I already made de function for the movement:
I'm trying to write a card counting counting program and am having issues with the pause on my set interval. Basically, the problem comes when it starts running out of cards; the pause gets longer. how I can make the pause wait until after the card is attached?
I made a semi-sinewave effect (view attachment) and it works fine with one exception. I want for it to wave on random intervals (from 1-15 seconds) instead of continuously, but I can't get it working right. Here's the code:
2. move this object along the x axis from stage edge to stage edge
3. repeat steps 1 & 2 every 5 seconds
So far i have managed to get my object to spawn in a random place and move from side to side, however every 5 seconds it moves the current object to a random coordinate and continues to scroll on x axis instead of creating another object at a random coordinate.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code: var distance:Number = 5; var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000); timer.start();
If I have some actions for a button and I want them executed 4 seconds (or a specific time interval) after the button is clicked is there a function that will do this?
I would like to code a flash file so that a new instance of a movie clip is placed on the same location on the page every 5 seconds (if you are wondering why in the same location each movieclip will be set to move down the stage).
My actionscript is weak at the moment and I dont know how to set the timer or link the duplicatemovie code to it. A code sample would be brilliant.
I want to show images that am calling from xml file into flash, I want to show them each after a certain time interval, I want to do this in AS3 How it can be done?
I would like to place attach clips to the _root at a certain interval of time (instead of very fast in a loop), but im having some problems planning it out correctly.[code]It is attaching it, but i want it to be more like a fan spanning out then a clock hand ticking. By this I mean, I would like the clips to remain on the stage. In this case, it seems like the clips are getting replaced.

I have a movie acting as a container for a series of external swf's that I intend to load in sequence.My problem is, how to load a swf for a set period of time so that that it may play out its sequence then load the next external swf; again for a set period of time before the next load and so on.......?
I have implemented the login capability to my application using Flex(Blazeds)channelset login. But there is a strange problem, after about 2 minutes of inactivity if I try to perform any operation I see that my channelset has been been forcefully logged out Is there some configuration which I need to do in order to prevent this from happening. I tried adding this in my web.xml, so that the session persists but it didnt help my cause.
every so often a movieclip is dynamically created using actionscript from the main timeline. It has the instance name of
Code: ["spark" + i]
each time one is created "i" goes up 1. so I end up with spark1, spark2, spark3, spark4 etc. etc.What they need to do is play through an animation (about 4 frames) and then destroy themselves.
I would like to load a movie .swf by clicking a button located in scene 1 so i use [code]Then I want once this loaded movie in scene 1 is finished to play to automatically switch to scene 2. and do the same again.Do i need to use a timer or time interval to operate the automatic switch? if yes how can i do that? or is there something simpler, I use flash MX.
I would like to implement an inspection time task using Actionscript. The idea is to dynamically change the time interval between masked and unmasked images based on user responses. The "inspection time" is defined as the interval at which the user achieves certain accuracy. There are various factors affecting the accuracy of that interval: monitor refresh rate, flash vm frame rate, Timer event accuracy, render time. Anything else? How do I determine the actual inverval the user sees? High accuracy is required, since typical performance is from 20 to 80 msec on that task. I assume the limiting factor is the monitor refresh rate. If it's 60Hz, I would only be able to increment by 16.7msec.
i'm kema and i have a problem with the setInterval and clear Interval function with in a movieclip i created.the interval seems to still be running even though it is with in a movieclip and not on the main time line. how do i stop it from affecting the buttons on the main time line. i tried applying the clearInterval function to the button on the main time line but still no change. i would be very grateful if anybody can profer a solution to this problem,
This is something I used to know how to do in the first versions of actionscript, but I've been away from flash for a few years and am utterly lost. What I want to do is to get the movie to display random images (from a selection) for random amounts of time (subject to minimum and maximum times).
can i make the animation appear randomly but with time limite ?example:if the random number allow that the animation appear, the animation must stay 3 secondes then dissapear even if the random number is changed before the 3 secondes are finish.also when random number allow that the animation disappear, the animation must stay hidden 3 to 6 secondes randomly but at least it must stay disappeared 3 secondes .
there is a way to run an MC or a movie at a random time.IE... while a user is at my site, i want to randomly load a movie or MC or two at different times. almost like an ad banner popping up at 3 minutes into you visiting the site.
i want to make a movement. An object has to come from behind an object and go back again.The interval between each time the object appears has to be random.i was trting to maken something with the setTimer() function, and a random. The random gives a var.This var i would use as time for the object appears in combination with the setTimer().i can't come up with a decent code that would work.Where do i need to define the start vars, adn where do i define the random script.
I have a file uploader which I generate a random key with, and this key is used in the url to identify what file to download. But this key does not regenerate istelf between each upload unless I refresh the page.[code]
does anyone know how to display a random number every time i need to display 3 digit random number display and i has also a random number display for 3 dec place too
