ActionScript 3.0 :: AddChild To Movie With Couple Second Delay?
Sep 26, 2011
I need to addChild() to a movie, however, I'd like to have a coupld sec delay before it's done..
Sample code:
function breathe_play_video(event:MouseEvent):void {Video_Breathe.load();
this.addChild(Video_Breathe.content);
Video_Breathe.playVideo();addChild(play_pause_breathe_btn);
addChild(close_cross_btn);close_cross_btn.x = 938;
close_cross_btn.y = 5}
I would like to add close_cross_btn after about 2 secs...

I've got a little animation that I'm going to embed in my website. I'd like it to start playing, say, 10 seconds after the page is loaded.
Is there an Actionscript command that effectively says "start play after 10 seconds"?
Or do I need to just add a bunch of blank frames within the animation to effectively start roughly 10 seconds in?

I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 100 * _parent._totalframes);
if (framePos < 0) {
[code].......

I have a rotating menu that when clicked rotates and loads in swf movies, OnClick.The problem I seem to be having is that because the swf movies load in on click it seems to be causing the rotation of the menu not to run smooth.Is it possible to get the swf movies to load in once the action of the click has completed its action. some kind of 2 second delay before the movies load in? what happens:you can click or mouse scroll through the menu, when you click, the action repositions the selected Item (ActiveItem) in the center and resizes larger. this works great, is it possible after this action is complete to then load in the swf movies?? URL...you will see at the moment onClick the movies load straight away which makes the rotation not smooth when rotating around.I can't seem to get the mouse scroll to work the same function as the click at the moment also..

I'm working on a Flash intro for a site. After the Flash movie plays I want it to wait three seconds and then send them to the index page. Currently I'm using the action script:
[Code]....
I've got that keyed to the last frame. The issue is at the end of the Flash movie it displays the company logo image. Well with that script added to the last frame it just quickly blips up the logo then takes you to the main page so fast you don't even get to really see the logo. I want the viewer to have a couple seconds to take it in, but then move them along to the main site without them having to look for a button to press.

I imported a video (mp4,avi, quicktime - just experimenting with video quality and size) using "Import video..." Everything looks fine after I publish it as a swf. However, I notice that there is a delay when viewing the swf, and not online, just locally. I'm seeing the stage for at least 1 second before it plays the movie. There is no delay in the movie before being imported to Flash.
Any idea why that is? Is there a solution to get rid of the delay?

Is it possible to load a movie clip with no delay? I have a flash project that loads multiple external swf's locally. This are actually different movie segments, like a clip for standing animation, fighting animation, defend animation, etc.. My problem is that, if i load another clip, let's say the fighting animation, it should be loaded instantly, i mean with no delay, as if it's part of the previous clip, because what happens is that when i load a specific clip there's a short delay of half-seconds before the clip loads. This is normal but is there any way on how can i load another clip as if it is part of the previous one?

I have a rotating menu that when clicked rotates and loads in swf movies, OnClick.
The problem I seem to be having is that because the swf movies load in on click it seems to be causing the rotation of the menu not to run smooth.
Question: Is it possible to get the swf movies to load in once the action of the click has completed its action. some kind of 2 second delay before the movies load in??
what happens: you can click or mouse scroll through the menu, when you click, the action repositions the selected Item (ActiveItem) in the center and resizes larger. this works great, is it possible after this action is complete to then load in the swf movies?
to see how the movie runs at the moment this is the link: [URL]
you will see at the moment onClick the movies load straight away which makes the rotation not smooth when rotating around.
I can't seem to get the mouse scroll to work the same function as the click at the moment also.....thats for another day

delay the duplication a certian X time. so, say my MC is a tween that goes for 50 frames.. I would like it to duplicate itself at the end of the 50 frames. Also, at the end of the 50 frames I would like to unload the MC underneath the 1st MC. I know sounds complicated. but simple idea. 1 MC, duplicates itself over top on the first, and then unloads the 1st MC.

Just finished building my photography portfolio www.tonerayphotography.co.uk in Flash CS3 using some Action script 2. When I first uploaded the site in Firefox 3.5 the menu buttons were `stuck` and there was a delay of about 30 secs before I could use them. Once I finally got use of the menu buttons I later returned to the site and it worked perfectly. Is this because the site was now in the cache of Firefox?
On my stage timeline there is one navigation movie clip holding aboutl 50 of my photos. Is this delay due the size of this movie clip trying to load?

I've written some code that ads a number of movie clips from the library to the stage with a loop. Each clip has a function that makes the clips visible and animates them in. Previously this works fine, I add the clips which sit on screen invisible until the activate function is called - it works fine. However, if I add the clip dynamically and call the function in the same block of code it doesn't work. I've added 'trace' code to the function being called to see if it activates but it doesn't.
I'm guessing the function doesn't become available immediately, perhaps not until the next frame and I've also noticed this problem with timeline based graphics - they have to be added a frame earlier than when a function they contain is called.
Here's my code:
for (i=0; i<4; i++) {
attachMovie("nomCirMC","tCir"+i,i+500);
targ = eval("tCir"+i);

Below summarizes the problem. Whats being used:
Flash CS4 10.0.2
Actionscript 2.0
Whats going on in the Timeline:
I have a embedded movie in the timeline. Also in this timeline is a actionscript delay. When the animation starts, the timeline reaches the embedded movie and plays then it reaches the end frame with the following actionscript delay.
stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(
function():Void {
play();
clearInterval(interval);
}, 10000);
The delay works perfectly. When the timline loops a second time the delay fails to work. So the animation works perfectly one time and falls every time the animation loops. The weird part is if I remove the embedded movie layer the delay works perfectly on the following loops. So it appears that this delay is deactivated by the embedded movie!

in my main timeline i have no movie clips. I have a jpeg called background that basically has all the moviestuff. however when i publish the file on the web i get a delay between the music and the movie. like almost 30 seconds. Im not quite sure how to fix this. I have a swf file that loads my main swf file. SWF file that loads the main swf is only a preloader. here is the code for my music... i think that my problem is that the preloader is accounting for the movie clip but not the music, hence the difference in timing.
Code:
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Matrix.mp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var soundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();[ code]..........

I've been trying to figger this one out. How do you create a delay effect when dynamically attaching mc's to another mc, the stage, whatever.
say you're building an xml driven menu which is essentially a stack of mc's attached to another. how do you make them appear to fade in one by one, starting at the top and working toward the bottom? (i can create the effect, just not sure how to script it).
it's gotta be fairly straightforward since i see it lots of places. I tried creating it with frames but that doesn't work since the mc's get attached so quickly.

I am attempting to add a movie clip to the stage when a button is triggered. When the user clicks the button the movie clip is added to the stage; it works fine, but the following problems occur:
1) The appearance of the movie clip is delayed.
2) The sound in the movie clip starts to play but the movie clip appears when the sound is finished.
Additional information: 1) The movie clip has the sound in the timeline.Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
//Buttons: Adds movie clip to stage.readtomeShortA1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playShortAReadMe1);var playShortA1:ShortAReadMe1function..[code].....
2) However, I also want to know is keeping the sound in the timeline of the movieclip the most efficient way to use sound in the movieclip? Or is there better, more efficient way to do it?

I have found some code on the web that loads a picture from a folder into a movie clip, and cyle with fadeOut and fadeIn to the next picture by using left and right arrow. I have made some changes to this code by having the pictures cycle with a timer and I also added a group of 6 movie clips for a total of 7 with their own set of picture arrays. So far so good however I am trying to get the fadeOut and FadeIn with a small delay from each other but always in the same order. In other words I want to have clips 1 to 7 fadeOut with a small delay of maybe .5 sec. between each and same thing when the next picture fades in.

I'm trying to figure out how to use addChild to place a movie clip. I've got it working, but I can't get it to load in the bottom level of the movie. No matter what I do, it seems to load on top of everything else. I'm definately a newbie with AS3, and had only a little experience with AS2, but the load / unload movie seemed so much easier than this. I've found tutorials on addChild, but none of them specify how to load into a specific layer/level.

I'm trying to have a class file which can add objects to the stage via addChild; however, when I call addChild from within the class file, I get the error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild." I've tried importing flash.display.* and that doesn't fix the problem. Does the class file have to extend Sprite or MovieClip to be able to add objects to the stage?

I'm experiencing an annoying issue with a movie clip button. The movie clip is linked to a class which adds a rollover and rollout effect. The issue I'm having is that, even though the button is in frame 1, the button doesn't react to the mouse for some seconds into the movie. The only thing I can think is that it's the class itself, but I'm not certain. Here's the class:-

I only get one cloud made at the position (100,y) (or, the last cloud I declare is the only one to show). How do I add multiples of a movie clip ?EDIT: I tried using addChild(new cloud) but the compiler says "Call to a possibly undefined method cloud."
