I am using the attachMovie script in as2 and I want to use a counter variable to increase the depth each time so it doesn't replace the last one. Every tutorial i've seen for attachMovie mentions this but I can't find any information on how.
Also is it possible to use a different counter variable to change to y position of the attached movieclip, so that it adds another beneath the last every time.
I have this simple counter I cannot get it to work! I just need it to start at $0 and increase by $0.31. So it would look like this $0 - $0.31 - $0.62 - $0.93 - $1.24 and so on. And also it would do keep going when it hits $100.31 - $100.62 so forth!
View 1 RepliesI need to make a counter that will increase with 9 every second
starting point at = 1440836946
Another thing is that I need it to save the the result to view when next time.
I used tiles for my platform game and they are placed on different depths. I wanted to have my HUD (like score and lives) on a different layer so I could move them around with mouse and dont mess with AttachTextField's properties like x and y when I can't actually see them.
But even if I drag the layer over my script layer, its still overrides it and shows the depths.
So I wanted to someway access that Layer that I make with Flash's Interface New Layer icon (not programitacally, just by clicking on new layer in timeline) and then move them to like depth of 13000 so it will be over everything.
have an odometer type thing, that would go up 9 times a second, and it would go up whether you are on the site or not.So if I started it now, and checked back in on the site in a couple of days it would be at say 300,000, and then I would check back in a couple days later and it might be at 600,000.How would I go about doing this. I have an mc with the actual digit animations..

View 3 RepliesI have an object being animated, and I want to add frames to the timeline. However, when I grab the end of the line of frames and drag out to increase the timeline, the key frames redistribute across the new time span. How can I add to the time, and leave the keyframes in their original position?
View 1 RepliesI want to increase value by 1 (up to 7), every time my functions is called. But at the moment, my function runs up to 7 at once. This is my code:
Code:
function changePageStatus ()
{
for ( var i:uint=1; i<7; i++);{

How can I make it increase the value by 1 each time the function is ran?
I am sure this is simple, but cannot remember how it is done. I just need to rotate an item counter clockwise 1/2 a time. The rotate option only accepts integers and when I do a motion tween it goes clockwise.
View 1 RepliesI've looked all over the web and everyone can teach you how to make a timer for your game or a countdown, but I can't seem to find out how to add time to an already counting timer. So here is my counter class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code] .....
That works without any issues or problems and just keeps counting upwards at a speed of 100ms, what I want to know is how to add say 30 seconds if something happens in my game, say you kill an enemy for example.
Any Way to make a gameplay time counter? I did make one but it only showed seconds and milliseconds (with gettimer())). As soon as the player hit the button "submit" the time has to start to count. As the player reached his maximum turns the game goed to the next frame and the timer should top. The game starts over (from frame2) so the timer has to begin over again.

View 7 RepliesIm creating a Game and Watch style game. Now with these games the enemies/obstacles spawn slowly at first then increase their amount over time.
I have created a function to spawn the enemy movie clips until a number of clips have spawned, they then move along their Class keyframes until they are either killed or game over.
how I can increase the spawn count slowly over time? I�d also like to randomize the spawn of certain enemies, how can i do that? Do i make for if conditions?
Here is my spawn and move code.
Code:
// ============ ENEMY SPAWNER
function spawnEnemy():void {
var chance:int=Math.floor(Math.random()*8);
var newEnemy:MovieClip;

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.

View 4 RepliesI'm working on a simple todo app that has a column for each day of the week. On startup, the app checks to see if there are any incomplete tasks from before the current date. If so, they're moved to the top of the current date's column. The app is cloud-based, but the tasks are backed up for offline mode with an SQLite db. I can easily move the tasks by updating their date property, but I need the order property of each task to increment starting at 0 to place them at the top. I need to be able to define a count variable in SQLite alone and increment it with each update that's performed. I know this code doesn't work, but it's an easy way of explaining what needs to be done:

which one will increase the file size?
1.coding(alot enter frame)
2.using time line
if i use alot coding will the flash be crash ,what cause crash ? well i have the right coding. but i am saying if too much coding will it crash too ? like if using too much enter frame.
I have this code, which should work fine, but it doesn't.
Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed += 1;
Text="Unit 1 destroyed "+Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed+" Mobs!" It should set Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed to current value + 1 If Unit1_Mobs_Destroyed is 5 at the start, it should be this: Unit 1 destroyed 6 Mobs But that doesn't happen instead I get this: Unit 1 destroyed 5 1 Mobs
i have a variable that i want to increase when you click somthing. the code im using is this but its not working
on (press){
w/e++;
this.startDrag;
}
i may have written the start drag wwrong but thats not the problem the variable wont increase. How can i do that? if what im doing isnt possible with as2, the reason im doing this is because i want my "game" to start after you get ready, so people arent caught off guard from starting right away and having a falling object not be caught.
I've got an animation that plays, and then at the end of the timeline plays a movieclip. This movieclip displays a piece of text, which is extracted from an XML file, the piece of text is selected at random currently out of a list.
Then when the clip is pressed (button), it goes back to the previous timeline, and then plays through again, including the movieclip, and now a new piece of text is picked at random and displayed.I now want to make the pieces of text display sequentially, but am having some trouble.
put in a counter, and the text that is displayed from the array corresponds with the number on the counter, unfortunately, this gets wiped every time it plays, because the counter gets remade. Is there any way to create a variable outside of the timeline maybe, in a actionscript file maybe, so that I can just add to this. I have been running a trace, and can't seem to get it to not wipe.

I want to use two buttons, one for increase and the other for decrease, to change the numeric value of a variable. I will use this variable to call a line width in some lineStyle code that I have. Basically, the user will be able to use the buttons to change the width of the line they are drawing in real time. I have attached the fla with the beginnings of this section.
How do I get the buttons to affect my variable?
right now, my code looks like this:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
speedy = 1.1;
gravity = 9.82;

What I want is that the flash should wait until I've finished pressing space, and the longer I hold in space, the bigger the variable speedx is. I can hold it in right now, but the ball will fall before I've released space. I'm really new to this so please be nice
EDIT: the flash is a ball that "throws", and the code is on the ball, which is a movie clip.
I'm trying to syncronize an audio and some text by highlighting it. In the main movie I have counter variable which calls charCounter3.as and timeVars variable which calls timeSettings.as I have onEnterFrame function that highlights the text while sound is playing.
My code is:
function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void {
pos=soundChannel.position;
var minutes:uint=Math.floor(soundChannel.position/1000/60);
var seconds:uint=Math.floor(soundChannel.position/1000)%60;
debug_txt.text='position: '+pos;
[Code] .....
Highlighted text needs to be updated on audio forwards and backwards. I think onEnterFrame isn't being able to catch the timeArr values.
I want when someone clicks the prev_btn for it to load imageCounter-1".jpg", but I do not know how to propperly code this. Also, is there a way to have a fixed positon for the loader's Y and also have it's X centered? The images are all the side hieht, but the widths are different.[code]

I was experiencing some other "strange" behavior so I'm wondering if my code is getting too long. Maybe I'm running into some kind of limit. Has this happened to anyone else?

Is there any way to bring a duplicate mc with a variable depth to the front on RollOver, and then return to it's original depth on RollOut?I am currently using swapDepths(1000).I can't have the exact depths swapped because there could be any number of duplicates on screen at any given time, so that won't work.The code I have works to a limit; when I mouse over the mc duplicate, it moves to the top just fine, but multiple other mc duplicates below it scramble depths (that is to say, they move up and down in depth at random).I want two thing to happen to only one mc at a time.
1) bring to front onRollOver and return to original position on RollOut
2) bring to front onRelease, and stay there in front.Here is what I have so far.
