ActionScript 2.0 :: Timing For Text As Well As Images?
Sep 22, 2005
I was using the following script adapted from a post i found on this site and realized I needed to delay the showing of my dynamic, XML based HTML rendered text untill after the picture had faded.
text and image arive....text changes images fades out new image fades in.
you see the new text which doesnt match the previous image.....
How can i trigger the text to appear (alpha?) when the new picture is at a certain alpha say 50%?
pasted below is the script - have tried everything I can think of (which i admit is not probably enough).
delay = 4000;
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

I'm new to OOP and AS3. I'm doing my company website. When a mouse event sends you to my services page I have 4 separate blocks of text that fade in. So far I have the first 2 texts blocks fading in at the same time. I want to stagger the timing so the second block of text starts its fade in a fraction of a second later, and so on with the remaining text blocks. Below is the code I've used to fade them in at the same time.
//services text fade in
var servicesText1Tween:Tween = new Tween(servicesText1, "y", Regular.easeOut, 148.9, 140.9, 1, true);
var servicesText1Fade:Tween = new Tween(servicesText1,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,0,1,2,t rue);
var servicesText2Tween:Tween = new Tween(servicesText2, "y", Regular.easeOut, 244.7, 236.7, 1, true);
var servicesText2Fade:Tween = new Tween(servicesText2,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,0,1,2,t rue);

I am loading an XML file and when I run a trace inside the onLoad event the results show.When I put the same trace outside that event, the trace returns undefined because it runs before the XML is Loaded.I don't know how to assign the results of the XML to a variable being used outside the XML unless I call that through another event.For example. I want to preload some images if the user has been to the movie before. I call XML which has the image array. But I can't tap into that array because my function is outside the XML Load event and my function is not tied to an event.

I'm making a flash movie and I have all of the audio timed out right in the .fla, but when i hold Ctrl+Enter to play the .swf, the audio is not timed right. I haven't expoted the video yet so I'm hoping that the file will be fine when exported.In the file attached, (it is unfinished) the audio, "You talkin' to me?" should happen after the camera has already finished panning up to the man's head. Instead, the audio plays while the camera is panning upward.

I have a Flex GUI which is using AMF Streaming to BlazeDS on WebLogic 9.2. As the AMF Streaming uses long polling, it keeps the connection open for extended periods of time.
WebLogic has a max thread timeout of 600 seconds. WebLogic throws an error and times out the thread if it has been alive for longer than the timeout. This causes my GUI to lose its connection and hang.
I could change the default setting in WebLogic (StruckThreadMaxTime) but this would obviously negatively effect legitimately stuck threads.

As you don't know when as3 will actually do a draw, how do you time the draw? Basically I have my logic seperate, and can time it. I wish to time the render also. Then I can adjust how many frames I render per second but always run the logic at full speed (I assume that's 50fps if flash is set for that). Meaning of course the game runs the same speed on any platform, but the draw only happens when there is time i.e. less time more jerky but game speed the same.

In the tutorial named "How to load random movies" it loads random movies when the page refreshes. I want to modify the code to load random movies 5 seconds at a time.This is the code from the tutorial, how can i add the property I wanted.
Code:
filename = ["circular.swf", "vibration.swf", "random_movement.swf"]; path = "http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/animation/"; i = filename.length; k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i); loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget);

I have two movieclips on stage (red_mc and blue_mc). I'm attempting to have blue_mc fade in first, then when it's finished, I'd like red_mc to fade in. Why is the following code not working? ....
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
function doBlue(e:TweenEvent = null):void {
[code]....
In another file, I have four movie clips: blue_mc, yellow_mc, green_mc and violet_mc. The idea is to make blue "invisible" to reveal yellow and back with keyboard command. And switch from green to violet and back with keyboard command. Problem is, one keyboard press switches both blue to yellow AND green to violet. I'd like it to happen sequentially ... meaning first keypress switches blue to yellow only. Next keypress switches the green to yellow only and so forth.
Subquestion for #2: the way it's set up now, it requires a keypress to switch BACK from the second color to the first. Ideally, I'd like to put it on a timer so that one keypress, turns blue to yellow, waits 5 seconds and resets back to blue. Next keypress, switches green to violet, waits 5 seconds and resets back to green.
// shows blue and hides yellow, switches at key_down
yellow_mc.visible=false;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, hideShowBlueYellowKeys);

I am still pretty new to Flash, but I do understand mostlyhow things work. Basically, I have 5 banners (each in a named frameof their own) in a banner rotation SWF and I want to make themrotate continually through all 5 banners without using the timelineto do so. How would I use setInterval to force them to rotate, sayevery 3-5 seconds? Or, what command would I need to make them do

in the old version of flash, there was an option in the property inspector where one could have assigned ie. 8 seconds to a keyframe (esp. text) so one could read the let's say 3 sentences before the next set of sentences came on the stage. i swear there was an option for this in flash 8. can anyone tell me how to control the timing in flashcs4 in between frames? i know how to make the very last frame stop( ); in actionscript 3.

Does anyone know how accurate flash timing is and its ability to identify the client monitor's refresh rate? I need to be able to calculate time durations with up to 10 milliseconds accuracy of response time. Also if it is off, is there a way to possibly calibrate the response based on monitor refresh rate and action to make sure the value is as close to precise as possible? Any info would be great! Even better would be some examples of existing benchmark test.
Update:I've found this post which is helpful but wanted to see if anyone else has anything else to add on the subject.[URL]..

I'm having a few problems with loading swf after swf. I want one swf to load after another has loaded and so on... Down a long chain until everything is loaded. I know this code doesn't work... But it shows you what I'm trying to do. Should I use listeners to achieve this? Because _root.theMC.onLoad = function(){-Do Stuff-} doesn't seem to work at all...

Using my intermediate but growing AS skills I can place 3 MC�s onto the screen.
I do not want these 3 MC loading on at the same time. I would like to load the first one and X amount of time later load the second MC and the same for the third one.
How would I go about putting in X amount of delay between the MC's as they are placed on the stage.
circle1._x=50;
circle2._x=50;
circle3._x=50;

I would like to know how to manage timing in AS3.Let say I have some functions in a code and all of them trigger an animation.
A) I would like to run the functions one by one, but next function must not be triggered before the animation of the previous one is completed
B) I would like to run the functions one by one, but next function must be triggered certain time after the animation of the previous one is completed.

I've started using Shared Libraries and this subject peaked my interest... does Flash still have load timing issues with Shared Libraries? I found a few site online that mention that your Flash project will load but if it didn't have time to load your Shared Library, it simply won't load it and you are out of luck. Is this still true with the latest version of Flash? If so, how do I preload the library to make sure it doesn't happen?

Is it possible to change the seconds counter displayed below the Flash CS3 timeline to something more detailed/comprehensive? I'm doing some work for some guys that need very specifically lengthed scenes to fit in predertmined gaps in a project they're working with and when I get notes for a scene to be like 04:16 seconds long it's a little hard to translate that to the one decimal point that Flash provides...I need a reading more like the Premiere timeline. I looked in the preferences and didn't see anything but I could've sworn I saw an option like this once before.

I have a AS3 flash slide show that uses the timer method with a wait() function to change slides. So the preloader is on frame one and the first slide is on frame two and the second slide is on frame three and so on. At each slide frame there is a wait(7) statement so that the swf moves ahead to the next frame every seven sec. When I create a nav element that uses the gotoAndPlay function to target each frame.
Everytime the nav is clicked and goes to the corresponding slide the timing of the slides is all messed up. I may be naive but it seems that once the button in the nav is clicked the timer keeps going on the slide the user was on when the nav was clicked. How can I clear the wait() timer on click? When I just add a remove.EventListener to the button the function in the frame is not available to the button though they are both in the same frame.
Below is the wait() I am using in the root stage timeline:
function wait(duration:Number) {
stop();
var timer:Timer=new Timer(duration*1000,1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onWaitTimerComplete);
timer.start();
} function onWaitTimerComplete(e:TimerEvent):void {
e.target.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onWaitTimerComplete);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onStageResize);
play();
Below is the code for the click inside the movieClip button:
b1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick( event:MouseEvent):void
{MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(2);
}

A user is reporting that a certain screen of our Flex app times out in Google Chrome and IE. I can reproduce this problem, but I don't know what is causing it. I cannot reproduce it with Firefox.
I was wondering if there is a way to temporarily disable this feature in Chrome because I know that in Firefox(at least in v3.6) when a Flex/Flash app executes for too long I get a stack trace from the Flash runtime pointing me to the problem. example:
Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
at TimeoutTest/___TimeoutTest_Button1_click()[/TimeoutTest/src/TimeoutTest.mxml:5]
I think that Chrome is hijacking this process and denying me that information, so I would prefer to prevent this behavior for now to see if the runtime will detect the timeout and provide a similar trace.
