Wondering if there's anyway this can be done? Or is there anyway you can return the time elapsed since the last function call?
Reason being that I'm using it in a project that really requires the option to pause the game. So I'd need to "pause" an interval when the game is paused and then resume it from where it was stopped when the game is resumed.
I have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval. I have a loop that I want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc. So I can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
aMenu = new Array();
aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu[i]);
}}
I call a function changePhoto with setInterval.Furthermore I got two buttons (pause and play).Now with pause I just clearInterval and with play I want to start where changePhoto has been stopped???
Code:
nav_mc.pause_mc.onRelease = function()
{
trace("Pause this "+pIndex);[code].....
What I have is the initial forloop that gets the fabric sections. Then a forloop within this loop to get the subsections.the locations of where the thumbs in the subsection should go are stored in the destThumb variables and then fed through to an easing function.however, each subsection group is also aligned depending on the previous subsection._height.So the thumbs are going to their right relative positions,but the subsections are not.'m assuming this is because the ._heights are being calculated instantly as the thumbs are beginning to ease,therefore making subsection only the height of one row of thumbs. canI use a setInterval somewhere to have the forloop pause before it loops again? Allowing time for the thumbs to ease in place creating the final height? this is just the top snippet of code:
for (var i = 0; i<theFabrics.length; i++) {
var storeHeight = materialSection._height;
var storeYLoc = materialSection._y;[code]............
I have been having trouble with the timer, knowing how to plug into the scripts/Functions the correct way. Below is the script (probably not written as efficently as it could be, but I'm trying) Anyway, the script is uses simple tweens for a movieclip. I would like to use the timer/setinterval function to pause the animation between tweens (Using the event listener after the tween stops to start the interval/pause) Is this the right concept or am I barking up the wrong tree.
[Code]...
I have a very straight forward piece I'm working on that involves copy fading in and out but, instead of using the time-line for timings I'd like to use some script. It's just copy fades in (hold for three seconds) then fades out (hold for one second) copy fades in (hold for three seconds) 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
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:

i use as2 and i want to know how to use setInterval

var pistolshottime:Number = 1
var counter:Number = 0;
var interval:Number = setInterval(pistolshottimer(),1000);
var pistolshottimer : function(Void){
counter += 1;

pistolshottimer is the period between shots and i just want to know why this doesnt work it says "an identifier is expected after the ':'" and it says after pistolshottimer
how to use setInterval. I think this is what I need to use to do what I want to do, as shown in the ActionScript (2.0) I've pasted here:
bhold.buttonBlue.onPress = function() {
if (ohpNameRed._y == 0) {
MoveNameDn(ohpNameRed, 60, .3);
//i want a second or so delay before the following code is executed MoveNameUp(ohpNameBlue, 0, .4);

I'm in a project where I have to use setInterval to go to a certain frame after a period of time when hovering to some thing in my stage.
The code used is :
setInterval( function() { goToAndPlay(34); }, 100000;
stop();
The problem is that the counter is always engaged will not always go to the frame after exactly 10seconds, it will be random because it never stops counting.
Is there any way to clear the counter after each time I hover to the thing??

I am working in an image scroller. Now i need to add a new feature. ie, To pause the scrolling for a specified time after each image scrolled out from the stage. But I have implemented this using a setInterval and clearInterval. But there is an issue occuring in this case. When the image pauses, a gap is occuring between the last image and first image of the scroller. Also when the scrolling continues this gap is also increasing. When the first image scrolled out, it will be again appending with the images scroller. That means it's appending after the last image of the scroller. Thus first and last images comes next to each other. When the scroller pauses, the gap is occuring between the first and last images. Anybody have idea about this.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash 9 app that calls a php script that in turn pulls in some variables from txt files. The function within the flash file that calls the php script operates via a setInterval() function. For some reason, this works fine in Firefox and Safari, but in IE the swf fails to update the fugures unless i clear the cache and reload the page..rather than the setInterval() function doing so every 60sec...

This doesn't work, of course. The bubble is removed, but not the interval. How the heck do I remove that interval?
i am trying to trigger a function after a certain delay, which is why i used setInterval. i can get the function to happen after a certain time, but clearInterval doesnt seem to work it always worked before, when i was not writing it in oop, is there something special with this function when it's used in oop?[code]

What I'm trying to achieve is that I'm planning to fetch data from an XML file in certain time sequences. For this I would need a simple function that has a growing variable.
