ActionScript 2.0 :: Run A Function Where After An Amount Of Time Of The Mouse Being Idle A Movieclip Plays?
Jan 19, 2012
I'm trying to run a function where after an amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then if the mouse moves another one plays. I have gotten my code to do this, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once. how do I do this?
I'm trying to run a function when after a specific amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then when the mouse becomes active again a different movieclip plays. I have gotten my code work for the most part, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once.
I'm having a problem with the following code. It works perfect to attach a movie clip if the mouse is idle. The problem is there seems to be some sort of refreshing going on which is not allowing the movie clip to play past the first frame.
// Set time_out variable(flash time is in milliseconds) // .2*60*1000 = 30 seconds time_out = .05*60*1000; // Set a time variable for mouse movement _root.onMouseMove = function() { [Code] .....
I have a piece of code, and in that function i call to another function that has 3 parameters.now i've decided that i want that last function to be called after a couple of secs, instead of immedietly. I can't simply use a timer, and addEventlistener, because then i cant give parameters.
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've got a movieclip animation which is added to the stage at the start of the .swf.Its an introduction to the game, and the user is encouraged to click on the movieclip to start the animation.Once the animation is finished I'd like the movieclip to be removed from the stage.Do I need to setup some sort of event handler which listens out if the movieclip has finished then start a function once its finished to remove it from the stage? Which methods look out for movieclips finishing?

i was trying to do in the above subject title... I have now decided to create a project using AS3 and would again be in any of your debts if you can guide me towards a similar code / function to the following:
the flash player seems to spend about 5msec (and sometimes more) idling at the end of every frame.this happens on a wide range of workloads and a wide range of targetted framerate.this seems to happen even when the flash player is not keeping up with the targetted framerate. using a profiler that shows what each of the CPU cores is doing, i notice that soon after returning from my frame handler, all four cores start executing (i assume to render) for a few msec, then 3 of the cores go idle while the main core finishes, then the main core goes idle and all 4 core remain that way for about 5msec.this is running flash player 10.3, windows 7, firefox, but i have seen similar idles in other environments
I want to make a sliding gallery that plays a certain amount of frames and stops. I have this script
[Code]....
Instead of play() i have tried putting a counter in like counter 8 but it does not work. The idea is that if i click the contact button but im on the home page its scrolls over all other pages and stops on the home page.
I have a Flash 10 program that locks up when running on a device, such as a netbook, that has a weak processor.Specifically, it goes into a state where it is doing very heavy processing within an ENTER_FRAME event handler following a mouse down event, and expects to stop doing this processing following a mouse up event. The problem is that, since there is no idle time left over following the frame event handlers, the mouse up event is never received, and consequently the process locks up in what amounts to an infinite loop. Yes I can do things like lower the frame rate and do what I can to reduce the processing taking place in each frame, but is there some iron clad way to break out of this? Is there some way to detect that no idle time exists? Or is there a way to force receipt of the interactive mouse events? Or could I, within the ENTER_FRAME code, detect the state of the mouse, up or down, without getting a mouse event?
when the mouse is idle, dynamically create a circle and scale . the scaling has to depend on the mouse idle time.. so here i couldn't scale the circle, but all other are done. am put the code here.
I am trying to get an interval to start if the mouse is idle after a few minuets. The objective is once a user begins to use the flash program and stops the program will jump back to the main scene after a few moments of the mouse being idle. The interval also needs to stop and reset if the user begins moving the mouse again. This is my code thus far.
var duration:Number = 300000; var myInter:Number = setInterval(backtomain, duration); function backtomain():void { gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 10"); clearInterval(myInter); } I am also up for learning the Timer Class if that is my only option.
How would i make it so when the user is moving their mouse the mouse is visible. But once it stops moving for about 2 seconds it turns invisible (and visible again once the user moves it)?
Is it possible to make an idle mouse dissappear after about 2 seconds, but if it becomes active again it reapears? I figure there is but I don't know the functions I would need to do it.
I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
I am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts
I have a bunch of mc's, called like mc1, mc2, mc3 and so on.
What I'd like to do is to tween those in order, with the tween class. So when mc1 is finished, I want mc2 to start and so on.
This is of course possible when writing something like
Code: var testTween:Tween = new Tween(...); testTween.onMotionFinished = function():void{ var testTween:Tween = new Tween(..); }
But when you got like 36 pieces or something, this tween gets really big. Is it possible to use some kind of loop to get the same result? Or maybe a function that gets one movieclip at a time?
Because on some connections this can take quite some time, I want a link to appear after a specififc amount of time, say 10 seconds? Kind of like a, "loading too slow? Click here for whatever."
how to accomplish this within this loading code and frame?
When I click a button, it opens a window with buttons in it..My aim is, after an amount of time, I want it to dissappear...I want to accomplish it by setting a counter ...for example... When I click to a button 1
{ when click "button1" jump to "scene1"; set counter=0;

If you press a button within a certain amount of time, you are taken to lets say frame 2, if the time expires, you are taken to frame 3.I have used up all of my "i'm still a newbie at flash", so I'm just gonna tell you the truth and say that I haven't done any AS (or flash for that matter) in quite some time, so I guess I have to get busy and learning actionscript.
I was wondering, how do I display text for like 2 seconds or something, then make it disappear?Another question is, how do I set a timer that prevents a function from running within a time limit (2 seconds again) after it ran? Like if a function is triggered by a Key_DOWN, what would a code be to prevent it from running again until that 2 seconds is up? This question is for a 'reload' in a shooter. Is there any other way to approach this?
