my code the problem with this code is that I can't change the delay once its loaded.
Is there a way to change the delay after firing runMany() ?
Code:
var intID:Number = setInterval(runMany, 1000, 1); // 1 second
function runMany():Void {
trace("runMany() called @ " + getTimer() + " ms");
clearInterval(intID);
}
I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 100 * _parent._totalframes);
if (framePos < 0) {

I've been having some trouble with this line of code. This is being used in an .as class file for my Ball class. I can get it to move within the main .fla by using a timers but if possible I would rather avoid the timer. I'm trying to develop a system for my FLA like this:
Ball starts at x,y
Ball moves to waypoint x,y
Ball leaves stationary copies of itself along the way forming a line as it goes.
The file will do this several times so I am trying to base this on if/else rules rather than animate it out. I feel like I should contain all movement activity within the class file and leave the waypoint rules for the main .fla. My current issue is that the code below (without the hittest) works if the FLA has a timer triggering the moveTowards function. Without the timer in the fla, it still works but the ball just warps to the destination.So I have two questions:
Is there a way to control the while loop so that it pauses at the end of each loop enough to look like the ball is moving incrementally?Is there a way for me to have a drawball function within the ball class itself or should I make a new package/class within the class file? Ideally I would have the new ball creation be relative to the "step" variable.
Code:
public function moveTowards(pX:Number, pY:Number, step:Number)
{
var dir:Number = Math.atan2(pY - y,pX - x); //find angle direction[code]...........
Is it based on framerate or something odd instead? To get a two second delay I have to set it to 1000.
View 2 Repliesok what i have is an array that I want to display each image once when the page loads.so I tried the following, in in the init I called the function
[code]...
where the function setIcon tweens to the appropriate i in my array.When i go to publish this it doesn't ever activate the function playSlideShow, i tried activating it directly and it works, but i cant get a delay to it.What I want is for the swf to load, wait two seconds then activate setIcon(2).
I am trying to load a movie after a button is pressed. I can load the movie. I have since realized I need a delay.... I want to delay the playing of the movie, after the botton to load the is pressed.
View 3 RepliesIn a game I'm making the timers that I use go one speed when I run it by pushing Ctrl-Enter in Flash but when I run the external .swf file created, the timers go considerably slower.I have managed to work around this by making the timers reset at lower intervals but I would rather not have to resort to this.

I wan't to make use of both a interactive menu to move around the "slides" (as in the tutorial) and a automatic system that moves the "slides" with a delay with for example 10 seconds. I shall use this in a banner.

View 7 RepliesHow 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]...
Right now I'm in the process of building a drum machine in Flash. The interface is based off of combo boxes and data that I load into the combo boxes. Depending on what you choose in the combo box, a sound should play at a certain interval. I have that part working perfectly. When you click the element of the combo box, the sound plays, and my set interval function calls.
Now the problem I am having is actually clearing the setInterval everytime you change the element in the combo box. I am using a listener set up to find when the combo box changes, I know it has something to do with when I clear the interval, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to clear it when the listener is called.
Here is the listener function I am using to call setInterval:
[Code]...
outside of the listener, and then took away the 'var', from in front of dbInt1 = setInterval..... and it works perfectly. It seems like a really weird way to do that though, and doesn't seem like it would be in good coding practice to do that.
Could anyone please tell me how I can change the number of milliseconds at which a setInterval function repeats, whilst the movie is running? I am using setInterval to call a function which duplicates a movieclip and I need the duplication to happen over decreasing amounts of time. The problem seems to be that the setInterval function only needs to be set once, so declaring it again with a new interval value isn't an option.

I have created a slider bar using AS2, when I say slider bar I mean similar to what you would find on a mixing desk in a music studio, i.e. you 'slide' the button up and down, changing the value associated with it. My slider bar changes a value that is written on the screen, i.e. it goes from 0 to 100 as you slide the button up. Now I want to change this so that when you slide the button the value starts to slowly change, and eventually reaches the value you've pushed the button to but after you've finished moving the button. Not sure that makes sense! To put it another way: if it takes you half a second to move the slide button from the bottom to the top, it will take 10 seconds for the value associated with it to reach 100.
Below are the relevant bits of code:
This starts the slider action when the button is pressed:
Code:
function onPress() {
this.startDrag(false, sliderMin, 515, sliderMax, 515);
}
This determines the displayed value from the slider bar position. Obviously right now the value changes instantly when you move the slider button
Code:
function onMouseMove() {
_root.powerGraph.totalPower = Math.round((_root.startMenu.coal1Slider._x - sliderMin) / (sliderMax - sliderMin) * 100);
}
This is used to display the value:
Code:
function onEnterFrame() {
this.createTextField("outputPower", _root.startMenu.getNextHighestDepth(), 130, -20, 190, 101); .....
This stops the button movement:
Code:
function onRelease() {
this.stopDrag();
}

I need 20 separate timers, to be used with 10 separate objects, and need to be able to start, stop, and edit the delay time of each timer separately.
My question is; would having 23 timers going on simultaneously slow the program down, and is there a quick or easy way to mass-create and mass-edit timers (arrays? for/next loops? I'm pretty new to ActionScript...)
In a function that creates a new timer every time it is called, is this the correct way to dispose of it?
private var _timers:Vector.<Timer> = new Vector.<Timer>;
private var _timer:Timer

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use 2 separate timers in a flash solution (CS4, AS3). The second timer won't fire. I need 2 constant events. one could drive the other
I'm displaying a different image every x seconds. I'm fading the old image out and then fading the new image in. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get these events to work in tandem. fade in and out times are both 2 secs & need to be sequential.
As far as I understand this should work, but it's not.The situation:A timer starts with a random number to determine how long it takes for a movieClip to spawn.When it spawns a second timer starts running for 2 seconds, after these 2 seconds the movieClip needs to be removed again and the first Timer starts again, again with a random number. But the comm between the Timers isn't running smoothly...The timer does get set to it's new value, it starts counting down again, but it never fires the if statement again.
PHP Code:
private function nBallTimerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void{nBallCnt--; trace(nBallCnt);if(nBallCnt = 0)

I would like a lightweight script that loops through an array, counting down to the next item in the array (over and over again).
Code:
countdown_dur = new Array ( [1,20,2,20,6] );
It would be perfect if this series of countdowns could repeat until the day is then done, and then start over again at 6:29AM the following day.[edit] The countdown_dur array holds the time (in minutes) for each countdown before the next begins.

I have a flex app that has several timers running for various amounts of time and for various reasons. I'd like to be able to stop all timers running if the user goes over a specified amount of time, but don't want to individually stop the timers using timer.stop(); Is there a way to stop all timers globally or find and iterate over all timers running and stop them?
