ActionScript 2.0 :: Call Function On An Interval Faster Than 1 Millsec
Jul 1, 2004I've got function that I call using setInterval. The problem is I need to call that function on an interval faster than 1 millsec.

View 4 Replieswhat i'm trying to achieve is to be able to create a random time frame betw 1 to 8 seconds before it calls a movie clip from the library.
Code:
function layEgg(hens) {
//set random time in sec
var timeGap = Math.floor(Math.random()*(8+1))+1;
[Code]....
however the time interval is not working. i managed to trace the random timeGap.
how a function can be called at regular interval for limited times in AS3.0 and one more thing the timer should not be started automatically. I have to trigger that method.
View 7 RepliesI have 15 movieclips on one frame and would like the first to be displayed and then the rest in a sequence with a two second gap in between each. Is this possible to do? Would it be a setInterval, and would anyone be able to help me out with the script?
View 9 RepliesMy question is, does a better, faster CPU necessarily equal faster SWF compile times? Or does it rely on something else (OS, memory, etc). I only use AS3 and some of my projects take a while to compile. If certain hardware can guarantee me a faster compile time, it'd be worth including those things in my shopping list.
View 2 RepliesI can make a normal preloader, with a bar and percent shown and so on... But I want to make a little thing in the middle of the preloader that rotates faster and faster when the percent loaded goes up. This is what I thought would work:

View 4 RepliesI'm wondering which is faster in AS3:
array.forEach( function(v:Object, ...args):void
{ ... } );
Or
var l:int = array.length;
for ( var i:int = 0; i < l; i++ ) { ... }

I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval

I have a function which makes a call to the server to load some financial data. This data is then displayed in a grid. In order to keep displaying the latest data I keep making this server call (every 30 secs). I'm using a Timer object to do this. The problem I have is that I have to wait 30 secs when the application starts for financial data to be displayed, what I'd like to happen is that the load data call is made, then start the update timer. Is there a way to set this up or shall I use to data load calls, one to get the initial data, then one to get the updates, which is made every 30 secs?

how can i make this replay button? i need to kill the "delays" at function. how can i make this?[code]
View 1 Replies[code]in my original code..function "test" will change the x axis of the images by Timer..I wanna the x axis of the images can be changed after every two seconds..but when I run it..it's obvies faster and faster every time when the Timer dispatch the TimeEvent the delay always shorter than the last time.

How can you change the interval passed to the setInterval function?
I've tried for hours but it seems to trigger the function a million times.[code]...
In AS2 I use an interval function to make the movie stop in a specific frame for x second and they play again Example:I add this code on a specific frame 1:
var count:Number = 0;
var maxCount:Number = 35;
useHandCursor = false;
[code].....
How do I pass a variable to function when calling it with interval.
This:
Code:
doFlip(1);
to something like this:
Code:
myInterval = setInterval(doFlip(1),2000);
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?
Does anyone know if there is a way to call a dispatchEvent call from inside of a static function?

function (bounce){

and then call it by saying

}
is it possible to store a list of params needed for a function in an array and then use that in a funciton call?
[Code]...
or something like that?? Prob have to iterate the array but how do i get the params into the function call? Is this even possible?
