ActionScript 2.0 :: Timeout Function - Pause For 8 Seconds?
Mar 25, 2010
I have a movieClip that is basically a slide show.It is controlled by AS that is on its own timeline. It moves forward on its timeline, then a few frames later, I have it pause for 8 seconds with:
It then resumes playing and,a few more frames later,I have it jump to a different random slide. This all works fine. There are other frames on the MAIN timeline that do not contain this moveiClip. The problem is, if I go to one of those other frames in the main timeline, the above movieClip function is somehow still active, and after the 8 seconds it sends the play command. In this case, it causes the MAIN timeline to start playing.
I have some banners I am doing right now and have a pause timer question. I am fairly green at coding. In my first frame I have this:
[Code]...
I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.
I have a web app that uses a flash uploader (swfuploader) and recently a user pointed us to a bug that happens when the script hangs more than 30 seconds. I know flash documentation mentions that after 30 seconds of no response it will timeout, so i know i need to send some data to the browser before my convert function ends. As of now the script uploads the file, convert it, and if it is a multipage pdf it will save the reference children pngs to db, this works fine on big and small files, problem happens that after 30 pages it will hang for more than 30 seconds.
I have a swf that i cant change (i dont own the code and its copyrighted). In some cases, Im getting error 1502, after 30 seconds executing the file.Is there a way to change or disable the default timeout period? Remember that i can´t edit the .fla
I have implemented a basic login screen and its working ok except that it's giving me this error and is taking long to execute:
Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds. at login_screen/Checklogininfo()[login_screen::frame1:34]
Script is the following:
login_error_lbl.visible = false;login_ok_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,Checklogininfo); function Checklogininfo (event:MouseEvent):void{ while ((User_name_txtbox.text != "xx") || (Password_txtbox.text != "y")){ login_error_lbl.visible = true; /////////////////////////////////////////this part of the "while" is taking very long to execute User_name_txtbox.text = ""; Password_txtbox.text = ""; } this.visible = false;}
What i'm doing is trying to pass the correct bytearray to this mp3 encoder (http://code.google.com/p/flash-kikko/) to get it to write out an mp3. If i use their example, i can open a 16bit WAV file via filereference and pass in that bytearray to the encoder to export an mp3... but i wanna create my own bytearray and pass it in and create the mp3. Using HxD, i copied the header and footer of that same 16bit WAV file and pasted it into flash as a bytearray but when i pass it into the encoder, it freezes the compile.. and i get the error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
I got this error and I am not sure what it's about. The last thing I remember doing is adding a clearInterval() method to clear some setTimeOut() intervals varibles. besides that I am not sure what it could be. Not asking for a solution. But if anyone know's any possibilities of what it could trigger that error, maybe that
I am using an xml video player that does not use the flv component in flash but a video clip object. So unfortunately I cannot utilize the cue points feature. All I want to do is pause the flv at a certain point for a number of seconds, fade in some movieclips, then fade out the movieclips and resume the flv and move onto the next one.
I assumed it would be easy enough to use the existing timer to pause at a certain number of seconds. Heres what I have so far
Let's say you wanted to simply pause the PLAYHEAD with actionscript, and then start the playhead again automatically, after, say, 5 seconds??? Is there a way to do that, assuming nothing else is going on in your flash movie during that time...and I DON'T want to add 5 seconds worth of blank keyframes?
I'm creating a simple image slideshow gallery where the images are presented one after the other in -fade-in - fade-out animation. I'm looking for a 'smart' way of delaying/pausing the slide show at the peak of the image brightness. I've found several codes however, they messed up the function of the PAUSE, NEXT and BACK buttons. Pause button would pause on an image, however the delay timer would start counting once again and the animation continues.
I've imported a flv video (flvPlayer, instance name) to loop with the following script: var myLis:Object = new Object; myLis.complete = function(){ flvPlayer.play(); } flvPlayer.addEventListener("complete", myLis); I would like the flv to pause for 3 seconds before looping again...
I built an XML based slideshow, but need to delay the actions of it for 10 seconds. basically, I want the first image to come up and pause for 10 seconds, then resume with the original speed. Everything works, except I can't figure out how to pause it. I tried using a separate function to call the first image, then a setTimeout for the main slideshow function, but when the main slideshow came up, it had already started and first two slides were already gone. so I removed the setTimeout and have tried a few different things, but nothing seems to work how i need it to. [code]...
I need to a keyframe to pause (for say 20 seconds) when the frame is entered (i.e. not a button press, etc). After the 20 seconds is up, i need the timeline to continue playing to the next keyframe. I've searched and searched for setinterval and the like, but i could not find a clear answer.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have it connecting to a PHP service. The way I set this up was using the wizard, so I didn't actually write the code to connect to it.[code]...
One of the functions that I'm calling fetches users from a MySQL database. There are about 30,000 users right now. The service seems to timeout when fetching more than around 22,000 rows, I get the "Channel Disconnected before an acknowledgement was received" error. If I call the PHP script from a browser, it fetches them all with no problems at all, however. I have tried increasing the timeout in the PHP script (which didn't work), but obviously this isn't the problem since the browser is able to pull them up with no problems.
The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
I have a very straight forward piece I'm working on that involves copy fading in and out but, instead of using the time-line for timings I'd like to use some script. It's just copy fades in (hold for three seconds) then fades out (hold for one second) copy fades in (hold for three seconds) etc.
I have a simple text animation(revolving text) it works fine althought i would like ti to pause for 5 seconds at completion in the second to last keyframe i added the following:
What I'm trying to do is have an image fade in, pause for 6 seconds and then fade out.My 6 seconds is doing something, but it's not what I want it to do and I'm not sure why. Here's my code:
I was wondering if anyone has any input on my question.I've been trying to figure out for a few hours now how to make words or sentences animate in and "pause" for a few seconds (for the user to read) and then continue to play. I know I can tween it, but I wanted to do it via actionscript. I got it to animate in and come out but i couldn't figure out how to have it hold for a few sec. I will have more than one sentence animate in and out.
