a countdown that is based on the timeline.For instance, there is a timeline of 30 frames. verytime the 30 frames is up I want to subtract 1 from the countdown.The trouble is I have no idea how to do this
View 1 Repliesthe following code for a server-based Countdown (see below). I would need this code changed without using images displaying the numbers.
stop();
eventDate = new Date(2007, 7, 1);
eventMillisecs = eventDate.getTime();[code]....
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 1 RepliesIm trying to design a countdown timer, with the ability to set the countdown time through buttons.I would like to have the dynamic text field to display the countdown numbers in HH:MM:SS format.I would also love to have a 30 minute button, and a 15 minute button which generates the time in the text field.Then a start and stop button to begin or end the countdown sequence.
View 3 RepliesI have a countdown to a specific date. Mine is 31st of december 2009. But I want a number related to the countdown. So it starts with lets say 8000.Now I have the number related to the amount of days. 62 is 8000, 61 is 7500, 60 is 7000... etc. When you enter the page it checks the countdown date and relates a starting number, every 3 sec. the number goes decreases. I want to add an action to every countdown. I know there must be a better way of coding this...
The best would be that the number decreases realtime, so everytime you go to the page number changes... Does anybody know a good way of doing this or provide a related tutorial link ? I really tried to find an example, but every countdown tutorial is related to time only....
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();

I have a main swf which has as3 code on the timeline. I have created a new small swf (a picture gallery) using external .as files (OOP) that works well on its own. I want to load the small swf (through a button on an array) into the main swf. When I click on my button in the main swf, it does not load the small swf (or I think, it cannot read the classes formed through OOP). I get the following error message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::Script()TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a navigation bar, it has 4 buttons on it, home, about, photos, and contact. There is a movie corresponding to each button that will load a 100 frame animation.
Home: home_MC, About: about_MC, etc.
When the page loads, home_MC will be on the stage. I would like for the first 80 frames of home_MC to play, and then stop and wait until someone clicks one of the navigation buttons (home, about, etc..) and then continue playing. How to make a timeline based eventlistener, that when the event occurs will make the timeline (that is stopped) continue?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a faux 3D rotation animation where if the user mouses to the right the object rotates right and if the user mouses to the left the object rotates left. Depending on how far they move the mouse the rotation should speed up or slow down.I spent a lot of time making an object in 3d studio max and importing the animation of rotation as JPEGs onto the timeline. I figured the most efficient way to go about this would be to make the mouse control the timeline instead of the object itself.
View 4 RepliesI have a thumbs_mc with thumbnail images. Within thumbs_mc, I have a transparent overlay_mc that functions as a button. Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.
View 1 RepliesHow would you go about creating a timeline animation for an iPhone or iPad application? I'm looking for something like a timeline animation in Flash. I don't need a technical explanation on how to program it, though.So here are some general questions:
- I read something about UIView for PNG sequences, but aren't these kind of animations resource intensive? And what about filesize? PNG can't be compressed like jpeg.
- What about vector-like animations? These would save a lot of kb's.
- Are there animation frameworks like TweenLite/TweenMax/Tweener/... (some well known frameworks for animations in ActionScript)?
Try to wrap my head around why sometimes a timeline base animation will run choppy in some browsers. Is it processor speed vs frame rate. I boosted my framerate to 29.97 but on older computers the animation is very arthritic.

View 4 RepliesI have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get the time from the server (php) and then display a different flash movie (via either a different swf or frame on timeline) accordingly.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything that relates to this using as3.
I'm new to ActionScript 3.0, some time ago I was developing some websites using ActionScript 2.0 - mainly timeline scripting. As I want to come back to developing websites, but I don't want to go back to AS2 I'm learning AS3. On that occasion I want to learn class based programming and to learn it I'm trying to build the image portfolio website. Before, my projects build was based on main.swf file which was loading external swf files for every 'module' of the website and now I'm not entirely sure how to organize my project using AS3. So for the example let's say the website I'm building will have:- Main stage- Menu- Links content displayer- Footer Links would look like the below:- Main image gallery- Another image gallery- Contact form- About me- News module Now the question is, what is the best practice for building this kind of project?Should I create Main swf file that will load all external content as swf files (image galleries engine, contact form, about me, news module) and place it on the stage? Or should I create separate class for each of the part of the website?
My concern is, that with separate swf files, I could update just one part of the website and upload it on the server and that part was loaded when needed. With project build based on classes, after updating one link's class I'll have to compile whole project - of course it's not a big problem, but then the website will be in one file, which can grow every time I'll update the links. The swf file will contain data that may never be used so this could be easily separate swf file loaded only on request.
I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.
I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

View 20 RepliesHow can I set my countdown correctly? I'm counting from 33,000.00 to zero. It works in a fashion, but the minus operator appears in the textfield.
//Countdown from 33,000.00 to zero

var count:int = -3300000; [code]..........
EXAMPLE: I need something I can update with XML, to be an up-counter or down-counter depending on the variables.
//Count up from 33,000.00
var countValue:int = 3300000;
count = countValue;[code].................
how to create a countdown timer using AS2. It works great but now I need to add more actionscript. Our company is releasing a brand launch in Chicago (CST) so I want the countdown timer to be the same for everyone's computer, even if they are in NY for example. I did a trace for the offset and it returned -6hr (360min). How do I add the offset. I looked everywhere but I could not find it. I want to grab the time from the user's computer and then add the getTimezoneOffset and subtract -6hr or 360min right?
Also, I just thought of this - when the clock hits 0 or a negative value... I want to tell my flash piece to go to the next frame so they don't see the clock counting backwards. :)
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
trace(today.getTimezoneOffset());
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
