i want my mc to stop moving (speed=0) when the timer reaches 5 seconds, the timer is placed on the main timeline and the code for making the mc move is placed inside the mc.How can i get access to the var (if(elapsedS == 5) in the main timeline so the mc knows when to stop?

I am embedding SWFs into Articulate Presenter for final publishing. Some of the SWFs have child movieclips with animations. How do I stop the child movieclip playhead when the parent timeline is paused from the Articulate controls? I'm thinking there must be an event listener for when the parent timeline stops, which could trigger the child movieclip to stop.

I want to start a timer when the game begins that counts up, but doesnt actually display the time during gameplay, but stops when a player has won and the screen goes to the player wins screen. From there i want that time to display in a text variable along with all the other statistics I have generated. The timer will also need a reset function when starting up the game again.

var TIMER_DELAY:Timer = new Timer(3000, 1); // 8 second delay
TIMER_DELAY.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, EXMove);
function EXMove(event:TimerEvent):void

So I know this has to have something to do with the timer class. But I'm not sure how to implement it.So currently I am making a DDR-type game. First, a function generates a random arrow for you to press, and another function checks with keypresses to make sure you have the correct arrow pressed.
I want to create a function that runs when the arrow is first shown- through the function that generates the random arrow. Then, I want the timer to run (1,2,3 seconds, keeps counting up) until I press the correct key. Then, the function would STOP, and possibly run again.how to create a timer that keeps counting up then stops, and it shows the time it took to press the key?
I am creating a countdown timer in AS3 and ive found some code and changed a few things to get it to do what I need but I also need to stop the code from running once it the timer has counted down to the desired time i.e 00:00:00:00, as the current code means the countdown timer then startes to count up once its gone past the date, stop the code running once the date is reached ?
Code:
var endDate:Date = new Date(2010,06,14);
var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);

just cause i'm trying to optimize my project to the fullest (concerned about garbage collection and all that...), i want to know something about timers...is the killTimer function enough? or do i also have to remove the listeners?

I'm currently working on a detailed music media management application in Flash. There is a mp3 player which plays music and has a playback seeker (keeps track of current time for track and a tiny pin that that increases its x position as the track plays). I have a simple play & pause button that does appropriate functionality of playing & pausing the track, but the issue is that I have to pause the Timer associated with updating the playback seeker. The seekerTimer object has a delay of 1000 (1 second), while I'm listening to a track, the timer may have already excuted 600 ms, only waiting for 400 ms till the next timer event is dispatched to update the playback seeker. If I hit the pause button at 600 ms of execution time and I do a seekerTimer.stop(); and then a seekerTimer.start();, the timer does not resume its execution and instead restarts executing from 0 ms. This means that the playback seeker is not updated accordingly.
How can I pause the timer when I hit my pause button (essentially store the execution time), and then resume execution when I hit the play button? The play button doesn't have any parameters to start executing from a certain time. I looked at tutorials online but they all rely on the getTimer(); function, this returns a value of how long the Flash player has been running (from initialization). The issue is that the mp3 player in this Flash app doesn't initialize upon the application initalization (I know its a bit confusing).
I want it to while still easing into place like the iphone does. For example my stage is 550px. The drag and throw MC is 1650. That's 550x3. If the first image is showing starting at x axis 0 and you drag to the left it will ease into place stopping and showing the second image stopping the image at x axis 0. And the same thing scrolling to the next one and scrolling back. So the code is below and I've attached the movie that I'm working on.

flash pro. as 3.0.animation . almost no codes except ends of scenes having :

i got this scene, with this specific bgm , individual frame layer. and the sounds at another layer. what i want is to stop the sound without stopping the bgm . (yes, i know the above code wouldn't work as it stops all sounds)
I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

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.

View 1 RepliesI have a function that has a site pop up when the user clicks on a button. This works well except it goes until the frame that has the command stop(). Is there any way to have this function continue on, even when that frame says stop? Or is there a different command besides stop that allows this function to work up to and including that frame?
The stop() command is on frame 90.
I tried gotoAndPlay(88) and it gives the user the mouse hand, but nothing pops up.
I have been working on a project that requires the a.s. to load xml into the doc. I have successfully loaded the document (xml I have created) and have used it for some time.

i have created a movie that has got 15 scenes,it stops working on the 15th scene.is there any reason why this is happening?
i know this might be the lamest question some one has ever asked about flash on this site?
a rollover with play, but the movieclip just moves one frame and than stops. Would be nice!

I have some movie clips that hold the contents. (ie I have a movie clip to hold my navigation buttons and another to hold the actual content.) I wrote some action script on a separate layer that is outside of the movie clips, the AS adds event listeners and a few simple functions. All my navigational buttons work prefectly, I have a button that I use for email, this works the first the frame is loaded. If I go to another frame (another page of the website), and then go back, the button no longer works, I tested with just using trace("the email button was clicked"); oh, I thought I might add that each page of the website is a different frame, that is inside my content movie clip. my AS looks like this:
stop();
navigation_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent .CLICK, homeClickF);
navigation_mc.rates_btn.addEventListener(MouseEven t.CLICK, ratesClickF);

so when i use it it has no errors no bugs and its like just goes to an animation or just stops (its been happening with ALL my games ive made and all the codes are correct and should work i've had help on it already i'm the animator i had a actionscript person working on it but he bailed and said he cant fix it but anyways i can send you the file if you gimme your email i tried uploading it to zip but i dont know how its too hard anyways on media fire and mega upload you cant send stuff to other people with a basic account.but anyways if you know what the problem is already from the description that would be helpful cause it should be something SOOO simple to fix cause this is happening with ALL my flash games

View 1 RepliesHere is the code I have and the flash file runs for about 10to 15 mins then stops updating from the dynamically created xmlfile and just hangs displaying undefined. Is there something wrongwith my code? The only way to clear it out is close the app andrestart it but that leads me to believe its a caching problem. Butbelow i did use some ideas about dynacially loading and unloadingthe content to stop the caching problem. I am not great at actionscript and only understand a little.
