ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Timer Based On SetInterval To Work?
Jul 20, 2007
I'm building out the basic code for a timer that does 2 things:Counts down "bonus points" -- 10th of the total milliseconds in the timerCount down seconds and tenths of secondsThe bonus points will tick down along with the time -- this is part of a larger quiz interactive project that I'm putting together.I can't quite figure out the following (my math is bad, I think):Why can't the setInterval fire off in 1 millisecond increments? Is it too fast for the Flash Player to handle?What's wrong with my math for the milliseconds on the time? I'd like to ONLY show 10ths of a second instead of thousandths.

I have an old Macromedia program - Authorware, that doe not like the SWF file output from the new CS Flash. I am able to go back to the old Flash version to get output that works - only 4-5 versions back - MX2004 or maybe CS.
I need to create an equivalent using timeline controls?
I was thinking of using a onEnterFrame. Have it loop till frame cycles hit the time I need i.e. 24 fps x 2sec = 48 frame cycles. then I would advance the main play head.

I have been having trouble with the timer, knowing how to plug into the scripts/Functions the correct way. Below is the script (probably not written as efficently as it could be, but I'm trying) Anyway, the script is uses simple tweens for a movieclip. I would like to use the timer/setinterval function to pause the animation between tweens (Using the event listener after the tween stops to start the interval/pause) Is this the right concept or am I barking up the wrong tree.

I have a swf that advances through a series of frames by pressing any key. I am trying to set up a timer so that on idle (no keypresses for X sec), it plays an audio clip.
My AS below works fine, but if you press keys very fast it seems to get out of sync and plays the audio almost randomly (at least faster than it should). Does anyone know what might be causing this? BTW, I have tried using a keylistener which seems to make it even worse by affecting the volume level randomly.
//ON THE INITIAL FRAME...
myInterval = setInterval(callback1, 20000);
function callback1()

I would like the loop to create the multiple setInterval's based off the array, but the function called is not clearing the setInterval...
var timecode = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4);
// use the array to assign the interval
for (var i = 0; i<timecode.length; i++) {

i am trying to trigger a function after a certain delay, which is why i used setInterval. i can get the function to happen after a certain time, but clearInterval doesnt seem to work it always worked before, when i was not writing it in oop, is there something special with this function when it's used in oop?[code]

I have some simple code:
function testing(){
for (a=1; a<=4; a++) {
this["btn"+a].enabled = true;
}
}
If i run this function from anywhere it works fine. If i run this function from myTimer = setInteval(testing, 3000); it will not work. If i add other random code into the function it (the newly added code only) will work. So i have narrowed it down to something about this["btn"+a].enabled = true; specifically that is causing it to not run.I really hope this makes sense, appologies, it's 3am :

I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval

making an image based countdown timer that counts from 30 seconds to zero showing seconds and milliseconds that begins counting down when loading. I know I could make this by basically animating it but im sure it would be far less work to code it. By image based what I mean is that instead of the timer simply being variable text that is constantly changing, I am aiming for each digit to be an image.

I having a little trouble with the countdown tutorial here. I want to remove the milliseconds and have the timer based on seconds instead. How do I do that? I'm using Flash 8 if that means anything.

I have a project which consists of 4 frames (+ one starting frame), where each frame contains a Timer class based-animation. You can visit each frame by selecting the appropriate button.
Let's say the animation in frame1 lasts for a total of 30 seconds, but I'm too impatient to watch it and decide to go frame2, which also I don't like. In the background however, the animation for frame1 is still running, for when I go to frame 2 and go back to frame1, the animation starts both from the beginning and also continues to play from where I left off.
I also get an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.

I've never been very good at writing AS3 classes as I rarely use them, but I needed a frame-based timer class so I decided to write my own. However, I don't know how to do everything in it that I want to, so could someone help me fill in the blanks and polish the rest?

I am (trying) to build a Banner for my companies website in AS3. I am currently using CS5 with the Greensock TweenLite package.
I want product images to slide in from the right of the screen, pause for 5 seconds, and then reverse() out of view.
The 11 different product images are assigned to variables a - j .
I also have an independent timer function that I would like to fire 5 seconds after the image has been on screen.
My problem is that I cant get the Timer to work independently with each function without writing a function for each variable (which pretty much defies the point of functions and variables...amirite?)
Does anyone know the best way to have Flash cycle through each image 1 at a time?
a.reverse() works...but is there anyway to say, like...currentMc.reverse instead?
I've been told a "Loop" may be necessary.

I have been trying to create a preloader for a quiz I have made, and it causing me crazy amount of stress. The loader its self is very simple....
[Code]...
So there is nothing too strange there.... the problem I am having is that my quiz has a timer on it, and on the first question the timer does not work.. On the odd occasion it does like 2 seconds and then freezes. I am completely lost to why it is doing this! The quiz works PERFECTLY when not being run via the preloader, so it must be related to the loading process itsself.

Ive updated to CS5 and now I have problems with the flash I am working on,when I export the timer doesnt work,in stead of saying **mins it just says mn with no number.Ive reloaded flash several times but still doing it,altho once it worked the first time I exported it but not again. No problem on CS4. Im guessing it must be some action script it doesnt like, unless something is corrupt on my computer.

I'm having an issue with setInterval/clearInterval when it comes to dealing with objects. Take this example:

Why does clearInterval not stop the interval? Does clearInterval not work when called inside a setInterval? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to delete the interval when it reaches a certain count?

I was wondering why my current code for calling a setInterval on a function doesn't work inside my class.I have this code inside one function, calling a second function.
intID = setInterval(selfReferential, dupe, 30, 0x000000);
The selfReferential keyword refers to the current class,but was defined previously (selfReferential = this; ).I get no errors, but the dupe() function is never called.and I had the selfReferential variable replaced with the this keyword at one point as well.

Basically I am making a Turn Based battle system. Each Frame is an attack. So for the enemy I did this:
(in scene Frame) attack = Math.round (Math.random ()*2)+0;
so it would randomly attack
then I also put in this in an object INSIDE my enemy clip
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.attack == 1 || _root.attack == 2){
[Code].....
you see what ive tried to do here havent you?
why isnt it working? it plays, the random value thing works(used dynamic text box to check this) so what am i missing? (using AS2)

Is it possible to make the flash content go back to some previous frame when the user clicks on the back button in the browser? Similarly, can the the refresh button be used to refresh to the same frame and not go back to the starting frame?

I am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.

I have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?

In my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.
