I would like to code a flash file so that a new instance of a movie clip is placed on the same location on the page every 5 seconds (if you are wondering why in the same location each movieclip will be set to move down the stage).
My actionscript is weak at the moment and I dont know how to set the timer or link the duplicatemovie code to it. A code sample would be brilliant.

every so often a movieclip is dynamically created using actionscript from the main timeline. It has the instance name of
Code:
["spark" + i]
each time one is created "i" goes up 1. so I end up with spark1, spark2, spark3, spark4 etc. etc.What they need to do is play through an animation (about 4 frames) and then destroy themselves.
My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

I cant clear the time on the set interval. try to stop the time around about six seconds or so.
ActionScript Code:
var myInterval = setInterval(time, 2000);
function time (){

1. spawn an object at a random xy coordinate
2. move this object along the x axis from stage edge to stage edge
3. repeat steps 1 & 2 every 5 seconds
So far i have managed to get my object to spawn in a random place and move from side to side, however every 5 seconds it moves the current object to a random coordinate and continues to scroll on x axis instead of creating another object at a random coordinate.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var distance:Number = 5;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
timer.start();
[Code].....
is there any way to edit the time in an interval, once you have set it?
View 14 RepliesI have "leaf" MC that floats across the screen. It's affected by a wind generator. I want to duplicate the leaf movie clip at random time intervals (between 2-9 secs).I can get the random time interval, I can dup the MC. How do I get it to re-set the interval and dup the MC at the new random time interval?The final effect I'm after is a MC that reproduces at random intervals every single time.
Some of my code so far:
// set time in between each clip
var seconds:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(8+1))+2;
// initialize depth
var depth:Number = 0;

View 1 RepliesI would like to place attach clips to the _root at a certain interval of time (instead of very fast in a loop), but im having some problems planning it out correctly.[code]It is attaching it, but i want it to be more like a fan spanning out then a clock hand ticking. By this I mean, I would like the clips to remain on the stage. In this case, it seems like the clips are getting replaced.
View 1 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.

however the time interval is not working. i managed to trace the random timeGap.

View 2 RepliesI would like to implement an inspection time task using Actionscript. The idea is to dynamically change the time interval between masked and unmasked images based on user responses. The "inspection time" is defined as the interval at which the user achieves certain accuracy. There are various factors affecting the accuracy of that interval: monitor refresh rate, flash vm frame rate, Timer event accuracy, render time. Anything else? How do I determine the actual inverval the user sees? High accuracy is required, since typical performance is from 20 to 80 msec on that task. I assume the limiting factor is the monitor refresh rate. If it's 60Hz, I would only be able to increment by 16.7msec.
View 1 Repliesi'm kema and i have a problem with the setInterval and clear Interval function with in a movieclip i created.the interval seems to still be running even though it is with in a movieclip and not on the main time line. how do i stop it from affecting the buttons on the main time line. i tried applying the clearInterval function to the button on the main time line but still no change. i would be very grateful if anybody can profer a solution to this problem,

delay the duplication a certian X time. so, say my MC is a tween that goes for 50 frames.. I would like it to duplicate itself at the end of the 50 frames. Also, at the end of the 50 frames I would like to unload the MC underneath the 1st MC. I know sounds complicated. but simple idea. 1 MC, duplicates itself over top on the first, and then unloads the 1st MC.

View 14 RepliesI have created a movieclip button which is animated for all the states I need (up, over, out, etc.) it's made up of text, which is in a movie clip where I have my animations created (actions layer with AS3 script, my txt movieclip layer, my hit layer) and then that is inside a movie clip in my main scene.Is it possible to copy that button, so then change the text, Actionscript, instance name, etc?I tried copying the layer (by selecting the frames and copying frames, and pasting to new layer) but when I make any changes, it changes both copies!

View 10 RepliesI was looking at a video tutorial, and in order to reference a MovieClip, the instructor used:
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
What is the difference between using that, and just using:
var mc:MovieClip = e.currentTarget;
Also, is there any way to easily duplicate a MovieClip? (or any class for that matter) There was a function somewhere back there, but that created a dynamic class. I want an exact replica of the class and all it's properties without manually changing over each and every value.
In my movieclips, I already have functions such as the following:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
currentlocx = this._x;
currentlocy = this._y;
differencex = newX - currentlocx;
differencey = newY- currentlocy;
[Code] .....
How would I add other functions such as duplicateMovieClip(my_mc, "new_mc", 5); to the code. Where would I add them? I've tried adding them under (enterFrame) but my movieclip does not duplicate after every "x" seconds. In addition to this, I would like my movieclip to "disappear" whenever it is clicked.
