point me in the right track for making a circular timer?i have no idea were to start or how i would go about doing this(id rate myself as medium in AS scripting so dont go to fast) i want it so that if you feed it 75% it shows up as the 1st image the second one might be 40% and the last one like 20%(these are just values i choose to clarify what i want to do.

View 6 RepliesI have a flat circular texture in a bitmap for a project I am working on. Its a texture generated with the perlin noise functions. I wish to extrude the centre of the image using displacementmapfilter so the circle appears to be a 3d sphere. There will be no animation on the sphere. I'm not getting anywhere with it though, My code is below with my broken implementation of the displacement filter.

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.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use the Boolean datatype for the first time. I have code that I want to mute sound. My function in my external movie works, but I cannot get the mute to convert to turn up the volume after I've set the volume to 0. Attached is my code:
ActionScript Code:
mute_btn.onRelease = function()
{
var muter:Boolean;

The only trace I get is "false". All I want is a simple mute button.
I am making a circle countdown timer class. It works fine, however, the startAngle variable isn't really working the way I wanted it to. It seems to start at 45 degrees even though I have it set to 0. I want it to start at the top and work it way around like a clock. So it would start at 12 and end at 12. Here is my class
Code:
// Create an instance of the class in an empty FLA
import com.ronnieswietek.utils.CircleTimer;
var counter:CircleTimer = new CircleTimer(15,0xff0000,0x000000);

I have an mp3 playing. What I would like is to have a movieclip that is located in the library appear, complete it's animation then get removed. The movie clip must complete this proccess 4 times, randomly during the length of the song but never at the same time and not in the last 5 seconds of the song. BTW I can't do this manually by just firing it off a random amount of times because this code will be used with lots of different mp3's, so I need to use the dynamic data I get by retrieving the song length.
I have the code working to retrieve the length of the song, and I have a variable that stores the length minus 5 seconds from the end, so I bascially have the length of time I wish to work with. My problem is making the movie clips appear 4 times randomly throughout that length of time. The code is below (what I have so far), the movieclip is stored in the library as circle_mc.
The timer I'm using at the beginning of the code (to retrieve the length of the song) is set to run after 2 seconds this is because there is a delay in the music starting and if it did it instantly the number retrieved obviously would be 0, so I delay it by 2 secs till I know the song is playing. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to fire twice, at the moment it fires once or not at all

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.
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.

I am currently trying to figure out a circular alignment problem. so if you look at the following code, it works perfect without the positioning section. All the data is being loaded from a database and when the user clicks on the mc which houses this code in its second frame, it accesses the database and if there are more rows in the database whose owner column matches the name of the clip it will add more circles to the stage and then use other data received from the database to edit it such as its colour. But what I am also trying to do is align the newly added circles in a circular pattern around the mc (when clicked the mc will be centred on the stage.

View 4 RepliesInside one of the mcs I have included a piece of code with the of this forum that allows the user to both click on and drag the mc about the stage. However when the user clicks on the mc I want two things to happen, firstly I want it to position itself in the centre of the stage, already accomplished (with the of the forum - same thread), and I want a number of the other mcs to be positioned around it in a circular pattern. Now I have two main problems with this.. first of all I am using all of the above code inside of a single mc and I am confused as to how I can actually take the other mcs and place them around it, calling it from inside the mc that is, another problem is that I am using an xml file to load data dynamically into the mcs, I am doing this from the main timeline and then as I said before using iterative processes to fill each mc with their relevant data. Inside of this xml file I have a number of items, each having a tag called owner, what I want to happen is for the user to click on the mc in question and then for each mc that is "owned" by the mc in question to then be positioned in a circular pattern around it
View 1 RepliesWhat I want to do: I have an object on the stage that moves in a circular manner. I want it to move in a less predictable way by assigning some randomness to its movement.
What I can't do: Imagine a clock. Its hand moves at a constant pace. When the hand's initial position is 12 o'clock I would like it to move as long as its hand meets the hour 12 again and communicate it. The full cycle. Then, I want to change the object's x,y and make it keep moving. And so on. How do I tell Flash that my objects has made a full cycle?
