Setting up a time limit that if the time equals to 3 minutes the game stop.I have a card game with 10 different cards to be paired. My problem is to put a timer that limit the player to only 3 minutes of playing after which a movie clip that says "Time is up!" will be displayed.

I have problem with the setInterval function. I have a game application that sets a time limit of 3 minutes. From 3 minutes counting down by 1 second up to zero. The problem is, the counting of the timer is by 2 seconds and sometimes by 4 seconds. I tested the movie in my local computer and looks fine but when I upload it to a server and it is embeded in a website. And by the time the user clicks the link to play the game application and starts playing the problem about the timer occurs.
View 6 RepliesI have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
View 2 RepliesI created a "movie" that is basically just several sentances fading in and out. I'd like it to stop eventually, so it's not annoying. I know with animated gifs you can tell it to "play" 5 times (or however many times you want). Is there a way to do this in Flash? Or would it be something I set on my html page?

View 7 RepliesI have a programme that will count each second that has elapsed from one key press to another, in the output panel I get all the times this has happened (each second) but would like the total number displayed in a text box on the stage at the end. This will be the total delay between key presses.

View 1 Repliesi have a button with some code on it to play a movie clip when pressed. the movie clip should run until the last frame and then stop at the end where i have a stop action.what actually happens is the movie clip plays the first time the button is pressed but not the second time. the third time it plays again but not the fourth, the 5th time it plays etc. etc.i have noticed that if i change the stop action to a gotoAndStop(1) action the film plays everytime without problems. but what i need is it to play everytime and then stop at the end without going back to frame one until the button is clicked once more.

View 4 RepliesThose who had started with AS2.0, mostly complain about AS3.0's restricting warnings and errors displayed at the compile time. Which was almost too weak ( and made to feel breeze ) in AS2.0 .However, recently, i was undergoing a hell time debugging, that made me realise how AS2.0 makes a slip, because of weak compilation.
Code:
class MyClass
{
var abc:Number ;[code].....
in the above trace statement, one would always get undefined ( but no compile time error ) even when i am trying to call getAbc() which is actually a private function.
I have a movie it is a triangle.I duplicate it and I want to hitTest on the first triangle movie clip and I added 3 different line movie clips on the 3 side of triangle.I tried to write a code something like that.
if(firstTriangle_mc.hitTestObject(line1_mc,line2_mc,line_3mc){
trace("Ok");
}
but I've got error.I think it is not allowed hitTestObject for multiple Movie Clips.So is there anyone have an opinion about it?What should I do?
Is there a way to find how many instances of the clip are being run?
View 9 RepliesI have made a scene with a flv in it. The problem is that when I first run my scene the flv plays slow, then when I have played thru it and starts at the beginning again it plays in the speed I want it to. I would really like it to play in normal speed first time as well.
View 3 RepliesSo what time trying to do is play a specific frame in the movieclip based on the time of day:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var myDate = new Date();
var hour = myDate.getHours();

but when I change to "gotoandPlay" the movieclip just loads from the beginning frame and seems like it doesnt check the time.
Basically what I'm trying to do is make a sundial-style clock animation. I'm using AS2 in Flash CS4. I'm still quite new to Flash so my AS know-how is slightly limited...
I want to get the time from the user's computer (I'm using getHours) and make a line (movie clip) rotate to a certain angle based on the hour. Eg. 1pm = 13 degrees, 2pm = 26 degrees and so on. This is the script I have so far and all it seems to do is rotate the movie clip to 90 degrees.

but i've just been learning what i can from the net. anyway, a friend of mine bought a flash website template off the net and gave it to me to modify for his wife's business (it's a spa). so i've got it all done and they are wanting to upload it onto the server for the grand opening this weekend, (even though i haven't been paid for doing the work yet).so i was wondering if there was some sort of actionscript i could insert so that the website will only play for a specific time (lets say from 5:00pm on 4/31/09 thru the weekend, to say... 6:00am on 5/3/09.
it would be extremely nice if one of you Geniuses could maybe even help out with the script
sorry if i ask questions that been posted b4, but i js cant find one actionscript which teaches how to make a time limit countdown. such as in my game the characters need to do something in 30seconds. And so i need a time limit of 30seconds.
View 3 RepliesI know its possible to put a limit on how many bullets (which is a MC) that can be on the screen at one time. However, I've been playing with it for about an hour now and can't figure out the right AS. I am including the swf and the fla.
View 14 RepliesI have created a movie clip which contains a button and a dynamic text field, instance name "anwTxt". In the dynamic text field I entered just the word "field" and set the the following in the properties window: multiline=true, wordwrap=true, font=16, font color=white.I then dynamically create multiple instances of this movie clip at run time, populating the text field from the contents of a user defined array. However if the text inserted from the array is to long it is simply cut off, instead of continuing on to a new line. Does anyone know why the field will not generate new lines, or have another solution to this issue?

Using "holder2.anwTxt.multiline = true;" has no affect. If I attempt to alter the height or width of the textfield (ie.holder2. anwTxt. height = 400 I recieve the error "thats a read only property"

I have a Movie Clip with two key frames. One Button sits on key frame 1 and changes its position in frame 2 (its instance name remains the same.) The Movie Clip is created dynamically and placed on the stage via code, then mouse click listeners are added to the button. My question is this: When the Movie Clip transfers from fram1 to frame 2, will I need to add the listener back to the button? In addition, I noticed that when I use key frames to move a Graphic Object, sometimes the object behaves like a singe object that is moved and sometimes it behaves like several objects that are created and destroyed in different locations.

5 buttons, 5 thumbs. I click on the third thumbnail, it shows me the 3rd picture. Pretty simple, pretty straight forward. How do I add a time limit? For instance if I click on button #3, and I stay there for 12 seconds without clicking, it goes to #4, 12 seconds later to #5, 12 seconds later to #1, etc?
I asked for help earlier with a banner and a button that counts roll overs. I am having an issue where the first movie clips in the array play much more often than the others. When I mouse over every couple of seconds or so, only the red mc plays. When I go a little faster the red and blue mcs play back and forth, and when I do a bunch of mouse overs really fast, then all 3 play in order. What part of the code has something to do with amount of time between roll overs? I want it so that even if I roll over once and then again a minute later, I want the second movie clip in the array to play instead of the first again. Here is the code I have in the first frame of the main timeline, as well as a stop(); in the first frame of each mc.
