ActionScript 2.0 :: Display The Current Time Into A Dynamic Text Box - Seconds Not Running
Nov 10, 2009
I want to display the current time into a dynamic text box. The time comes correct but the seconds is not running... I want live seconds. what modification should i do to my following code?
how to display seconds in my Date/Time display. right now I have Year, month, day, Hours and minutes displaying. But my Seconds are showing up undefined.
Here is my code...
function howlong(arg) { if (length(arg)==1) { arg = "0" + arg;
I've got this code that displays the time but, I want the time to display dynamically, updated by the user's sytem clock so it always displays the "current time".
Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?
found that code to display html format text to dynamic textfield in as3:
var url:String = "http://edeejay.dyndns.org:8000/currentsong?sid=1"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg that I am trying to get to do this: On page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning, Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code. I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail
i just want to convert special characters in from MS Word to simple characters. So you copy and paste what you've written in MS Word into this swf... hit a button and it converts the special characters into plain ones... problem is that when i convert it, all the new lines from MS Word disappear...
so:
Hello there. How are you?
becomes:
Hello there.How are you?
It works if you actually press enter when you're in the static text box, but if you copy and paste it from MS Word it just doesn't work.
I have my Dynamic text box set to Multiline.
So i've thought of 2 options... either there is something else i have to tick or some little bit of coding i can add... or... maybe there is a way using the split and join function that i can add a new line where ever one has been added in MS Word, though i don't know if that would be possible...
it would need to go .split(" ??? ").join(" ")
what would i use to identify the new line from the static text to convert it to the dynamic text?
I have a project in which I need to click a button and and have the current year display as YYYY in a dynamic text field. My current code was written as:
var myDate:Date = new Date(); function whatYear(e:MouseEvent):void { display_txt.text = myDate.getFullYear();} date_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, whatYear);
I keep getting an error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
At the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
is there a way to get the current directory of the project? i'm trying to load images using dynamic paths and it seems that the link is broken. but seeing the current directory of the running project i'll be able to make sure that my picture links are valid.
I'm testing Live streaming with FMSS. The stream is pushed to FMSS buy Adobe FMLE software. Streaming works fine until I reach 1300-1400 simultaneous connections.No matter what the encoding ratebit is (150kbps or 2000kbps) the stream is no longer play from time to time (5-8 seconds).
The CPU (2xIntel Quad) is loaded less than 20% and memory used is about 2 GB (there is plenty of memory installed 32G). The OS is RedHat 5.3 64bit platform. Network uplink maximum rate is 4Gbps.I disabled the Queue but the problem still persist.
I have a dynamic text box set up called 'circle'. Each time the movie loads I want it to display different text.
Currently, I have
Actionscript Code: _root.circle="hello","nice to see you", "hello, again"; on the timeline.
Unfortunately, when it loads it just sticks with the first 'hello', instead of choosing one of the other options. How can I tell flash to display a different text option each time?
I was wondering, how do I display text for like 2 seconds or something, then make it disappear?Another question is, how do I set a timer that prevents a function from running within a time limit (2 seconds again) after it ran? Like if a function is triggered by a Key_DOWN, what would a code be to prevent it from running again until that 2 seconds is up? This question is for a 'reload' in a shooter. Is there any other way to approach this?
There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:
[Code]....
However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:
I have a text inside a xml file and i would like to display this text in a dynamic text field, using the xmlConnector.The files are at the following address:[url]............
I have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.
I have a static text in a swf file... Now i want to access that static text and convert in to a dynamic text during the run time... How to access the static text availbale in the swf file.... And then after accessing how to convert the static text to a dynamic text in flash AS 2.0.. Is it possible to do this one.. If yes means then give me a idea to do this one...
i wrote an swf application using action script 2,i want to be able to know the file name of the current running swf file.i know that in php i have __FILE__ to get current running php file, is there something like that in flash?
I have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
i should know this but i cant seem to get it to work. i just tring to get var to show in a dynamic text. the text is named txtdays. the day goes up when i push a sleep button i made. i did use search and found things that helped but i still cant get it to work.
