I'm trying to solve an AS 1.0 elapsed minutes. In MS Excell this should be easy but i'm having a hard time in Flash MX. I have an equation such as this:
Start: 1/28/08 9:00 AM
End: 1/28/08 10:19 AM
Duration: 79 mins.
In Excell I can plot this easily such that if Start is in R23 and End is in R25 my equation would be:
R25-R23*1440
and I get the 79 mins as a result.
i have a label object.The background is in a color (set by user)The background color is in the format HTML (#FF4466 by example)I want to change automatic the color of the text inside, but i want the color make the text visible ! don't want a red font on red background!so i thought about the negative filter we have in picture program like photoshop, paintshop..etc. This effect return the opposite color

For example, if there is a video of 100 MB with a duration of 2 hours and the user watches the full video add a new row, else do nothing. I am using JW player and js.
View 1 RepliesI've created a timer to count elapsed time on a flash player of mine, I can't figure out how to control it though. For example I need the pause/ play buttons to (you guessed it) pause and continue the count.The dynamic text field that keeps count is simply called "count" and the pause button is btn_pause and play button is btn_play
Code below.
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;[code].....

View 3 Repliesim really new to flash, how do i go about creating a variable which will get the current date and time and add 30 minutes to it ?
View 2 RepliesI am however hosting an event at the end of this month to which I need countdown timer that counts down 30 minutes from when I begin playing the movie.
00:00:30:00 -> 00:00:29:55 and so on until the movie reaches 00:00:00:00.
If possible.. I'd like that movie to open an additional flash movie once that timer has reached 0, if that can be done. - But for now I'd just be happy with a simple countdown timer that counts down from 30 minutes.
Now I HAVE tried to utilize the various tutorials that are about, the problem is they all seem to be WAY too complex for what I'm looking to do here...As I said all I'm looking for is a flash document that will countdown from 30 minutes once i've opened the movie..
I'm having an incredibly annoying problem with Flash CS5 on my Mac that is making the software absolutely unusable.
If I open a previously worked on file and start deleting layers and moving keyframes, the screen never redraws the interface. As in, if I delete a layer, I don't actually see it go away. It's still there in the interface. Minimizing/maximizing does nothing to refresh the interface.
Since the beginning of nov.2010, it crashes after some time of use. More precisely the toolbar disappears, then reappears, some GUI elements blink. It's not related to a specific user action. When this happens, closing flash is difficult (the window remains here). When switching to another app, some Flash parts remains The graphical memory seems saturated. Launching another app is met with a window error message. A windows restarts becomes necessary.This problem arises only in Flash, and with no other apps from CS3 suite.2 colleagues of mine has the same issue, also in the last weeks (= nov 2010). We work in separate places. We didn't exchange files.We are on Win XP Home Edition, Dell computer.They have more recent PCs than mine (which clearly meets the CS3 requirements), with enough memory,etcOne colleague has reinstalled winXP. The problem arised again, but I don't kow when. He also tried CS4 and CS5 and had the same problem.Today he un-installed all Adobe products with this utility:
View 2 Repliesi have had cs4 for a long time now, and yesterday it suddenly took flash 10 minutes to open a document. i have loaded different documents to see what is the problem and found out it was the documents containing a lot of code (on frame1) that made him almost freeze. it takes ages to open medium size .as files, and even editing normal stage objects takes about 5 times longer. flash takes about 25% of cpu. i reinstalled, restarted, cleared aso, nothing.

I made a flash video jukebox, so it reads a dynamic playlist of F4V files for hours. Everything works well but after about 45 min the sound stops and after 2 hours the flash player plug in crashes. It seems like the cache is not accepting more F4V videos and then crashes. If I auto-refresh the browser every 2 hours it works but I would like to avoid having to refresh the browser and just clear the flash player cache if that's where the F4V go? I can't find any info about where the F4V files go when you play them!
Frame 1 gives the variable vidReference the value of the video file name:
VidReference = trackToPlay;
Frame 2 does the playing:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
nc.connect(null);
[Code] .....
This is the function that detects when video is done playing, still on frame 2:
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
switch (event.info.code) {
case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound": newTrack();
break;
case "NetStream.Play.Stop": newTrack();
break;
}}
And the function newTrack() is just giving the variable trackToPlay a value (the file name of the next video). And then says to gotoAndPlay frame 1, so it kind of reinitializing the player. The objects are re declared in frame 2, is that the problem here?
I am looking for a countdown timer what will countdown mins + seconds. All Ican find is a countdown to an event christmas day etc, but this wont work for what I need. I need a timer countdown that wont start again everytime a user enters the game I need a timer so all users enter the game at exactly the same time to the second, I've tried to do it using as3 php mysql but there is to much time difference between users how will I do this.

I have published some videos with flash, but I need to find a way to display a very simple timer showing the elapsed time. I tried to use a dynamic text with AS3 without any success.

I have a programme that will count each second that has elapsed from one key press to another, in the output panel I get all the times this has happened (each second) but would like the total number displayed in a text box on the stage at the end. This will be the total delay between key presses.
View 7 RepliesI've set up four buttons with a "for" loop. I need each button, when clicked, to start a timer. That button's timer will multiply a factor while the timer runs. For example, a button is pressed, a textbox will increment by $5.00 for each second until the button is clicked again.

I have a sound clip running in flash and I want to jump to the next frame after a certain amount of time. Unfortunately it is not always the same time span. How can I measure the elapsed time and call a function accordingly? For example: after 17 second go to frame x, then after 25 seconds go to frame y, etc. until the end of the sound clip (2 min 50 sec.) Each frame holds an individual animation that is related to the current sound.
View 1 RepliesI having a hard time on a small task that I thought was easy to accomplish, but it is taking me longer than expected and not the results I am wanting.I am developing a shooting game. I have a hero that can shoot only so often (once every half second for example). I am trying to scale a MovieClip depending on how much time is left to be able to fire again.
So when the hero shoots the gun, the MovieClip will have a scale of 0. When 250 milliseconds has elapsed, the MovieClip's scale should be at .5, assuming the gun can only shoot every half second.
Can anyone provide code on how to accomplish this? This is what I have to keep track of when the hero can shoot next,

How to add a dynamic text field to display the time elapsed and time remaining to play. I have been checking out the Adobe Live Doc but cannot search for what I need. Below is the code I have already that just shows the video and its controls.
Actionscript Code:
//the below script it on a button on click actionvideoholder.vidPlayer.source = "videos/Introducing our team.flv"//this code is in the same frame as my FLV holder called 'vidPlayer'import fl.video.*;// vidPlayer is the FLV holder//CustomVideoControls is the mc where the play, pause, mute buttons arevidPlayer.playPauseButton = customVideoControls.playpause;vidPlayer.seekBar = customVideoControls.seekvideo;vidPlayer.muteButton = customVideoControls.mutevideo;vidPlayer.fullScreenButton = customVideoControls.fullScreenButton;
I've been trying for hours to add the elapsed time to a dynamic text field using a video player.
The Flash website has code similar to this:
Select all//Get playhead time
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace(ns.state + ": playhead time is: " + eventObject.playheadTime);
controls.elapsed = Math.round(eventObject.playheadTime);
};
ns.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", listenerObject);
But that was designed for an FLVPlayback component and therefore does not work.
I have an app in which there are 2 identical units that have a timer that displays elapsed time. I'm using a single file for these units since they are identical. When a user turns one of the units on, its timer is supposed to start and when they turn it off, it should then stop. The problem I'm having is this:
If I go to one unit and turn it on, and, after 2-3 minutes, turn it off, then go to the 2nd unit, instead of displaying 0:00, it displays the 2:00+ that was on the first unit. If I go back to the first unit and turn it back on, instead of starting at the 2:00+ mark, it starts up at 3:00 or later. I'm not very familiar with the way getTimer works, but I had figured that could be set to start whenever I wanted.
If the user then selects a new module, instead of restarting at 0:00, it starts off at around 5:00 or so. It appears to be giving the time from when I started the Flash piece instead of since the beginning of the module like I thought it would. How should I code these timers so that they can start when the user selects a module and so that they can be distinct values?
