ActionScript 2.0 :: Call A Function Every Number Of Seconds?
May 11, 2007
I need to call a function every number of seconds or so.. I'll just show some code:
Code:
image0.folder = "folder1/";
image1.folder = "folder2/";
[Code]....
basically, what it does is when i click, a block box (textholder), fades in, then after a few seconds (in this case, 2), it fades out again.. it works fine on the first click, but after more clicks, the interval duration seems to be getting smaller, up to a point where it is zero, and nothing happens.
and I need to use another setInterval() function (to call the changeTxt() function), will that affect the setInterval function i have up there now? i've linked an swf, to better show what i mean. [URL]

How do you set a function to increment in AS3 Flash. I am trying to start the incremented function when my video starts and then run the same function every 20 seconds until the video stops.
[Code]...
OTHER items are started and set within this function that do not have to do with the incremented function.

1) Using the number keypad, the user pushes a series of numbers to an array.
2) Lookup() is called to identify which "code" has been entered.
Code:
myArray:Array= new Array(1,2,3,4);
lookup();
function lookup() {
switch (myArray) {

I am creating a flash animation using flashEFF animation components. The animation isn't looping like it's supposed to be at the end of the animation, so I would like to hard-code a replay after 20 seconds. How would I use AS3 to loop reset to the beginning after 30 seconds?

I have a movie that I need to update every 60 seconds, calling a PHP file, which provides update server time/date, and (on-the-fly updated) air times for an online video. Is every 60 seconds too CPU intensive?

I have the below code used to create a random number every 3 seconds and then have the timeline go whatever numbered frame the random number comes to. It works. However when I trace the randNum, I see that it is generating more and more random numbers during the interval. For ex, first it generates one random number every 3 seconds... but then it starts generating more than one per every 3 seconds. how can this be? Isn't the function supposed to run once every 3 seconds?
setInterval(createRandom,3000);
function createRandom() {
minNum = 1;
maxNum = 3;
randNum = Math.ceil (Math.random () * (maxNum - minNum + 1)) + (minNum - 1);
trace (randNum);
_root.gotoAndPlay (randNum);
};

I have a project where I have code inside a MC on the main timeline that loads XML via a php file on the server. Once the data is loaded, it sends commands to other MCs and works just fine.However, I need to refresh this XML info every 5 seconds or so. I have tried several things such as interval code and pause code, but the farthest I got was that it paused the initial clip for 5 seconds, then ran the script once, but never again. Or it refreshed, but got stuck on the first frame of the clip.Now I am thinking I would be better off NOT having the code inside the MC, but on the main timeline and just having the action span the course of the main timeline. That way, the call to the php can be refreshed from any frame of the main timeline. Does that sound right?

I use FlashMX and made a basic flash movie with one movie clip. (movie clip contains frame by frame animation using images rendered at AE) How can I make the movie clip stop after a specified number of seconds? Client wants to be able to change the seconds when needed. So a text file along with swf file including number of seconds...?

The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.

I have an enterFrame action that I use on a graphic:
[Code]....
Because I want to use the above code more than a few times, I tried to make it a function.
[Code]....
But for some reason the function call does not work when I call it via an action on a graphic where initially the code worked when it was explicitly written and not called as a function.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
fadeOut();
}

why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:
CallTag.as , Line 10 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method init.

I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.

I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?

I just wonder if I could make the object "car" to repeat doing this:
function start_car(){
_root.car.onEnterFrame = function(){
_root.car._y +=15;
};
};
setTimeout(start_car, 1000);
I want it to begin at y=0 and x=0 after like 7 seconds and then repeat going down the y axis as you can see in the code.
So the car movieclip starts moving slowly from the top going down then after like 7 seconds when it's out of the scene it begins at e.g x=0 y=0 and going down for 7 seconds then starts at x=0 y=0.... etc, so it keeps looping.

I have 2 functions going in as3:
function blueDownBounce (e:MouseEvent):void {
var blueDownY:Tween = new Tween(blue, "y", Regular.easeOut, -49, -19, 1, true);
}
blue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, blueDownBounce);
[code]....
I am trying to make it so that these functions are active after 3 seconds and they stay active for the whole time it is stopped on that frame after those 3 seconds. I know you have to make a timer and make it dependent on that timer but it wasn't working out well.
