ActionScript 2.0 :: Clips Play Very Rapidly As Though GetTimer Was Not Being Initialized
Aug 9, 2004
I have a simple slideshow that is non-interactive. It just loops five movie clips loaded externally. Each slide is shown for a certain amount of time that is determined with getTimer. The code for the slideshow is in the last frame of the root timeline. So, basically the slideshow starts when the root timeline finishes playing. The problem is that the timer works great the first time the code plays, but when I tell the player head to back up and enter the frame again, the clips play very rapidly, as though getTimer was not being initialized. Here is the code:
I'm making a racing game and am trying to have the final time displayed after I cross the finish line...In frame 4 (where the game begins) i have a setInterval timer that counts down from 20.when it reaches 0, my text is: startTime; where var startTime:Number = (getTimer()/1000).In frame 12 (where the game ends) i have
finalTime.text = endtime // finalTime is a textbox var endtime:Number = (_root.finishTime-_root.startTime);[code]...
when i finish the race, however, the word "undefined" is displayed in the textbox.
I'm creating a roll over menu where, when your mouse is hovering over a button, a menu below that button appears, and then you can go over that new menu and click another button which links to a different page. My problem is that when you hover over the new menu that appears, the whole menu flashes rapidly. This only happens when I try to place a button on the new menu.
I have added a menu to my game, and now certain text for the game does not appear unless I quickly double click the text field. Everything non-text works. The Sidebar is an instance of Sidebar movieclip which has two text fields that I added in the flash IDE, both with correct instance names. I have embedded my fonts, and tracing the text of the textField gives the correct number, without any return lines or whitespaces. The "double click shows text" is only for my countdown time.
My other score text field does not display no matter what, not even the text I set in the flash IDE. The only thing I can think of why is maybe flash stops rendering it because I have another menu movieclip that I set the alpha to 0 on stage that might overlay the text fields, however removing the menu movieclip does not fix the problem. Right clicking on the text field, select all, copy, paste gives the correct number.
Here's the fla + as files with only the code for the text fields: [URL]
I currently have objects populating the screen randomly and bouncing around the stage. The problem is, some of the objects are getting stuck and bouncing back and forth rapidly between two points. How can I prevent this?
Here's how I have the EnterFrame setup: var ballT = e.target ballT.x += ballT.vx; ballT.y += ballT.vy; if (ballT.x + ballT.width / 2 >= sWidth || ballT.x - ballT.width / 2 <= 0) { ballT.vx = - ballT.vx; } else if (ballT.y + ballT.height / 2 >= sHeight || ballT.y - ballT.height / 2 <= 0) { ballT.vy = - ballT.vy; }
Why do I see a double variable initialized to some value like 21.4 as 21.399999618530273? Is JavaScript's math broken? many, many other questions, for every language and platform, all with the same answer.
trace( ">> " + (399.6-(Math.floor(399.6))) ); prints out >> 0.6000000000000227
The onLoadInit is broadcasted before the target is indeed initialized.Searching about this, I founded at the macromedia documentation that other developers are having the same problem,
For example, if I have two classes called _Sub_class and MainClass
[Code]....
Does test3 take up the same space as when it's initialized? (i.e. when a function inside MainClass call the initialize function for the test3 variable?)
I need advice. My server application send objects with not inialized proxies. Primitive types ok, but onetomany and etc. not initialized proxies. As result my client application gets nothing when retreive received object properties.
here is sample with src and conf files without libs project on githubhere is server log, where you can see that objects were retreive fromdatabase and send with proxyinitialized = false
I have an MC object called with linkage to be treated as a class in the library,part of the code is what follows (what is relevant to this problem):[code]If I drag and drop the object from the library onto the stage to instantiate it and call the function from within the object, then there is no problem, and the code is executed with no problem. In the main movie clip, I want to create an instance of this class with code, add it to stage and call this function with the following code:[code]
Through the use of flags I have confirmed that we in fact enter the function setTable, and that this error is produced once I try to reference the cardArray.I do not declare the array outside that function because I need other functions in that MC to be able to see it. Relocating the declaration does not solve the problem, because then the interpreter advances to the lines where I reference other functions declared in the MC (which I want in there), and the same problem arise: it has not yet seen the declaration of functions like the custom shuffle function for arrays
I have a Canvas (lets call it the Drop Box) which users can drag and drop external files onto. Next to this I have a ViewStack, of which one of the layers is a Canvas with a TileList. I have successfully managed to code it so that the items dropped onto the Drop Box appear in the TileList. I simply capture the darg drop event (lets call this event A) and dispatch a new one that the TileList is listening for (lets call this event B).
However, this only works if the ViewStack selectedIndex is set to that of the Canvas with the TileList. If the Canvas with the TileList isn't selected then the event listener which is added to the TileList at CreationComplete level (event B), won't be called until after the drag drop event has dispatched (event B). This means that something is firing before something even has a chance to listen for it!
I've tried looping until the Canvas with the TileList is completely drawn, but this causes the app to hang.
I've also tried passing the event to the Canvas and storing it locally, but when I attempt to access the clipboad of the event I get an error (dead clipboard).
Effectively I want to only dispatch the event to the Canvas after it's had a chance to load, and add the event listener to the TileList.
a varible is declared and initialized on main stage. how do you access this varible through a symbol? i.e while you are editing the symbol..
a varible is declared and initialized on a symbol. how do you access this varible on main stage? i.e. while you are in main...this is confusing little, but,
I have a flex application mxml file with 3 tabs.the first tab having the link button to select the value in the 3rd tab. Suppose, i have a link button in first atab. And the 3rd tab contains the combobox with values:"basic", "advanced". by default the vaule is displaying "default". When i select the linkbutton on the first tab, the "advanced"should be displayed in the comboBox on the 3rd tab. and the problem is , when click on the first tab link button , at that time the 3rd tab is not initialized. So it is not displaying the "advanced" in the comboBox. selecting the 2nd time on the link button it is displaying fine. But not first time. code: thirdTab.comboBoxId.selectedItem.data = 1;
but when I test my movie, my navigation buttons flash rapidly and make their "clicking sound" over and over and over..... Could this be a "layers" issue? My navigation buttons reside on a "global content" layer which sits below a "sections content" layer..... and there IS content above these buttons on that layer. I'd try re-arranging the layers and testing the movie, but I am not at home right now... and I was curious to see what some of you might think before I got back home tonight.
I have a clip on my main timeline, inside of which is another clip. I have animated the main clip (just 10 frames, keyframes at 1 and 10, with a motion tween). Then I open it, and "animate" the nested clip on its own timeline. I say animate in quotes because it's really just 5 keyframes with no tweens as I've been told that tweens in nested clips make a mess. I know nested animatetions don't show by scrubbing the timeline, but it won't show when Testing the movie, or even after publishing it as a .swf. The nested clip does play on its own timeline from within the clip, but not outside it.
Basically, my main time line has a few layers and just a few frames. On each frame there is a different movie clip. Buttons are on a seperate layer on the main timeline, each button initiating a gotoAndStop for each frame, linked via frame labels which are on yet another layer.
Now, here's my problem. I'm happy with each movie clip looping endlessly, all except for the second last one.
What I want to do is, make it so that when this said Movie clip finishes playing it automatically (i.e no mouse events) gotoAndStops on the proceeding movieclip.
I want to have 5 movie clips play one after they other. So in frame 1 of the main timeline I have movie clip 1 and a stop action. I'm imagining there is an action I can put in the final frame of mc 1 (and all of the rest) so that it will then go to the next frame of the main timeline where it will start the timeline up again and stop and play the next mc.
I am building a flash header for my website. I want to have two parts. The first part is about a 10 second intro. The second part though will be a looping slideshow (It's photography site). Basically two different movie clips.Can someone give me a little help getting started? I think I can use AS (3.0) to loop the second movie but I need a way to recognize the end of a movie.
I am looking for a script that can let me do this:If I click a button - 1 movie clip will play X number of frames, and then after it completes, a 2nd movie clip will play X number of frames.It is important that I can do this in one script in the buttonOtherwise the easy way to do it would be add a command at the end of the 1st movie clip. Which I don't want to do because I am trying to create a conditional event thingy.
I have 8 movie clips on my stage. Each contains a motion guided tween. I want the tween to play through, and then the next movie clip to start playing until it has cycled through all 8. Then it starts over at the first movie clip again.I have achieved this using mouse events.. but I need it to play with no input from the player/audience at all.
I tried having a boolean variable on the main stage, and inside each movie clip change the value of the boolean once it reached the end of the motion guide, but that threw errors at me. It also threw errors at me when i tried to play a function from the main stage inside a movie clip. Is there no way to have a movie clip change something or call something from the main stage?
I would use event listeners for tween motion finishes, but because I need my symbols to move in an arc, i need to use a motion guide and not a simple tween. Unless there is a way to play motion guides via actionscript?
CODE
Main Stage/Timeline import flash.events.MouseEvent; clicky.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickygo); var tweenArray = new Array (tween1, tween2, tween3, tween4, tween5, tween6, tween7, tween8); var i:int = 0; function clickygo(e:MouseEvent):void { if (i < tweenArray.length) { tweenArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); i++; } else { i = 0; tweenArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); i++;
I have a movie clip, lets call this Container. This contains another 4 movie clips, BubbleRed, BubbleGreen, BubblePurple and BubbleGold. Each of these 4 movie clips have an animated time line. When a Container is rolled over it is added to an array. I have a function which does things to the Containers on the array. However I have been trying to get the movie clips in the container to play.
I have two movie clips embedded on my timeline each with a button that on release plays the clip. I want them to play independently so that when i click on the first video it just plays that video and not both. The same for the second video for it to just play the second video.
If I click a button - 1 movie clip will play X number of frames, and then after it completes, a 2nd movie clip will play X number of frames.
It is important that I can do this in one script in the button.
Otherwise the easy way to do it would be add a command at the end of the 1st movie clip. Which I don't want to do because I am trying to create a conditional event things.
I've set a list of movies symbols playing at different time line individually and put them all together in 1 frame on the main timeline. However, i'm thinking of playing those symbols 1 at a time without changing the main timeline. Each of those symbols has the stop(); on them. However, it doesn't seem to work as i thought it would be. Is there anyway i could create a button, and while clicking on the button itself, it plays the 1st symbol and stop before playing the next symbol ? Sorry, i haven't put up any codes yet. A newbie here doing his final major project.
Flash movie has 1 frame with about 10 layers.on each layer there is a 10-frame movie clip after one movie clip, I want another movie clip on another layer to play. the other mc "instance" is named "mc02" on that 2nd mc, it starts with a stop() frame so it doesn't play right away.the 2nd frame is called "start01"here's the action script on the last frame of the 1st MC[code]...
