Nov 29, 2011I have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?

I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

Flex :: Timer Delay Changer?
Jan 12, 2012var timer:Timer = new Timer(x);
basically x is an array...
when timer.start() is invoked
it runs, the first count is 1000 ms, then the second 800 ms, and the third 6200 ms and so on. In other words, it's a dynamic change in the delay and not a continuous delay of x ms.

May 29, 2010possible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through.

I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.

Oct 15, 2008I'm new to concepts of AS 3 but i'm stumbling through it.So i'm looking to the Fourm for some Mentor ship
I have a simple Regular Flash slide show with 4 slides and an intro label. I need my Intro label to have a Timer or Delay event that holds on the "Intro" Label for a certain amount of time before the Timer expires and calls a function that tells FLASH to go on to slide "Slide 1" label.
The trick is i need this delay to run everytime the Timeline is at the "Intro" label as i have an animation playing while the timer or delay event counts down and finally at end goes to label "Slide 1" Can anyone share some simple code snipets that would point me in the right direction to accomplish this using AS3 ?

one question is I need some kind of delay timer to make the animation smooth, otherwise the animations would be all jumpy. Set interval seems a bit jumpy.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Bugg - Delay Animations And Stuff?
Feb 13, 2009Ive noticed that i need a function that delays a callback. I use this quite often to delay animations and stuff. well anyhow. Before i just used Tweener to do this.Tweener.addTween(this, {time: 2, onComplete: callback}); This works fine but i belive that I get a small memory leak from this. So i made this static function. I think it look quite nice. But it only works sometimes.
[Code]....
If you try it with a loop of, say 10 so it will callback every one second for 10 seconds, its often it will skip a few. Have anyone noticed any problems with timer before or something similar. Or if you have a nice delay function you wanna share.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Simple Timer - Delay For 20 Seconds (IF Statement)
Apr 19, 2004I'm building a continous move in flash, and I'm displaying some text and images and want to hold the timeline for about 20 seconds and then resume play again. I'm trying to write a simple timer in AS to keep from having to create 10000 frame long movie clips. Here's what I have so far:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame {
time = getTimer();
if (time == 20) {
play();
}}
Unfortunately, this isn't working for me, and 'm unsure why. I suspect two things,
A: my "time" var takes only a snapshot value of the timer and not a continuous value, so the timer never reaches the value of 20. Or,
B: I have somesort of syntax wrong and the if never gets a chance to load.

AS :: Professional - Create Delay Before Tween Or Function?
Jun 25, 2010I have a number of cases where I have a tween happening in ActionScript, but I would like it to happen after a delay from the event that triggers it. At the moment I'm creating this delay by having a tween that does nothing (eg. an "_x" tween for which the start and end points are the same) and then using tween1.onMotionFinished = function(){to create the one I really want. Is there a way to create this delay more neatly?
View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Delay A Function Until Frame Is Reached?
Feb 2, 2010I'll try express this as easily as I can: I have an input text box (call the instance whatever you want). What it does is when you type a word, it makes another movie clip (let's say the instance is MORPH) go to a certain frame. The code is simple, but I'll give it to you to give you a better idea:
[Code].....
check is just a light that turns green if the word is complete, so ignore that. Whenever the MORPH object goes to, say "Earth", it plays an animation and afterwards, it hit's a gotoAndStop(1); code, stopping it at the first frame. What the problem is, say, you type earth, it goes to the EARTH animation, but before the animation finishes and goes back, you type EARTH again and it skips straight to the start of the animation. It looks very rough and bad.
What I want is, say I type Earth and the animation plays, and before it finishes the animation, and I type EARTH again, it waits until morph get's back to frame 1. So yeah, to delay a function until a certain frame is reached. Oh, and another thing. Is there a way to make a button click with AS2? Pretty much when it makes contact with another object, it... clicks (whatever it does to reach the DOWN frame and stay there until the other object moves off).
