How can you disable a timer?I'm currently using the
Code:
IV=setInterval( function(){ input function;clearInterval(IV); }, value in microseconds or somthing );
code, but I don't know if you could disable code. Anyway, how do I disable a timer?
I'm attempting to make a code which disables two tweening buttons while a timer runs. The timer starts when you click one of the buttons, and stops after two seconds. For some reason though, it isn't working, and I can't figure out why.
Code:
//import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

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;
[code]....
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.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesIn 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.

View 1 RepliesDoes anybody know how to disable TLF in CS5, specifically, on import of an AI file?
When I import an .ai file into Flash, I want the text to come in as classic text becasue the TLF is to memory intensive and makes my application unusable (the application is very font heavy).
Right now, my workaround is to produce the assets of the file in CS4 and then open it with and convert to CS5. This is fine for the initial build, but is a pain when I need to make updates to the file.
OK, so in the project i'm building this is the code for my timer[code]...
What i want is mytime to be called from my xml file. it also has to change for each image that shows up

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to put a flv or swf on a frame and in a frame above or below or for that matter on the frame itself have a timer that I could time to be the same as the flv or swf.I would like to do the in actionscript 2 The idea behind this would be if I had a 30 second video I could set the timer for 30 seconds so upon completion, or in other words after the 30 seconds it would gotoAndPlay the frame requested.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to use ActionScript to disable all buttons in a movie at the start of the movie (or at any given time in the movie), and then re-enable them at a certain time? I'm using Flash MX (only version I have access to), and I know how to get to the ActionScript panel and use it for basic things like stopping/playing a movie or jumping to a certain frame, but I haven't figured out much about ActionScript beyond that.
(btw, what version of ActionScript does Flash MX have?
using an FLV, with SeekBar component...works fantastic, but the scrubber clashes with my cuepoints when dragging along the timeline. So i want the scrubber to be inactive.

How do i disable a particular key in AS3?
On the root, I have a movieclip (input). Within it is 1 frame of codes (well, 2 layers, each with 1 frame of code...).
Alongside on the root, I have another movieclip (banana), which has a stack of animation within... the first frame within is labelled "main".
What I wanted was that if banana's current frame was main, then input is untouched (enabled). If banana's current frame WASN'T main, then input is disabled ENTIRELY (everything within is disabled as well, especially the frames of code).
What I have tried was applying this code on a frame on the root timeline:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(banana.currentFrame = main); {
input.enabled = false;
[Code]....
I looked up some things and they said that enabled false or true only applies directly to the movieclip, and leaves all codes within the MC untouched.
I've made an AIR Application. It definitely has a .swf file. Running the .swf file alone works till a point where user tries to press keys like A, S, D, etc from the keyboard which will not be detected as the .swf if running using a flash player. So inorder to avoid such problem I'd not allow the users to run the .swf file natively. Only if the .exe is clicked it must run. So is there any functions that implement this??
View 1 RepliesIk got a game with a timer. When the game is finished you can play it again and the SWF file loads again. Everything is reset exept the timer. A new one starts but the old one is on the background.

I'm working on a simple catching game where you have monsters coming out from the corner of the screen and you need to get them with the mouse.What I want to do is change the rate at which the monsters come out depending on the score. The higher the score, the more monsters should come out.The code for creating new monsters is a simple timer event:[code]it works when I declare the variable locally within the function. But then I can't access it outside of it, so it's no good!

I would like to add a timer that keeps track of total time and also current time that runs next to my seek bar component for my flash movie. How can I do this? For example: 1:11 | 2:04 ... the 1:11 displays the current time of the movie and the 2:04 would represent the total time of the video.
