As I haven't much experience in AS 3.0, I faced a probem that I haven't with AS 2.0. The problem is that when I call for first time gotoAndPlay function, it works, but when I do this for second time and for another frame, it doesn't. Because the explanation of what is my file, would be long and confusing, I attached the file.
View 2 Repliesi have a movie clip with a dynamic text field being animated...i have a text file with this in it
&textline1=time
&textline2=place
&textline3=year
&textline4=month
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
I created a frame by frame animation using the default elapsed time. There are 41 frames, and it is completed in 1.7 seconds. I would like the whole sequence to complete instead within 30 seconds. How can I change the timing? I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional (v. 10.0.2).
View 1 RepliesTrying to set time spent on each frame in an animation, its an ActionScript 3.0 project.Problems:1) Frame rate - Can this be disabled? For now I just have it at 120 to go as fast as possible, but since I'm specifying the time spent on each frame it would be nice to not have this at all.2) Actionscript - I tried putting in the following code snippets...In frame 1...
Code:
function PlayNextSlide() {
clearInterval(SlideDelay);

Instead of adding more frames in my timeline in order to get the perfect timing pe keyframe, how can I control the amount of seconds at each keyframe using actionscript 3
View 27 RepliesI'm trying to make a clock that goes to a frame with a set amount of bars across the screen at 8 am. Then every 15 minutes it goes to another frame where one bar is gone and a certain action happens. It's just a joke clock to countdown the workday. But after it switches over the clock stops telling time. I have a dynamic text named Clock_text I tried putting this actionscript in the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
time=new Date(); // time object
var seconds = time.getSeconds()[code]....
and so on for the corresponding frames going to the 5 o clock celebration page. After it switches over to frame 3 the clock stops working.
in a motion tween in the properties of a frame you can change the rotation value and rotation way by entering a time value for times and y choosing cw or ccw way.is it posible to change that way and how many times it will rotate value by action script 2 and if the answer is yes what is the parameter i guess it should be someting like
View 1 Repliesif for example the player moves, does it move him every x seconds or every x frames?like, if the flash game runs on somebody with fast computer and other has slow computer, so his game runs slower, so it can result in the player moving slower than the guy with the fast computer. so ya they'll move in 2 different speeds. in c++ you gotta add sort of timer for this so it depends on time incase the player lags or something. sometimes you gotta have 2 buffers for the screen, so while something is displayed on screen it loads the other buffer in the background, and then shows the finished loading buffer and so on. this way there are no graphic bugs.
View 2 RepliesIm using a onInterval at a very high speed or you could say, with a very short delay. In IE the onInterval is not going by the time frame i set and is running extremely slowly. In all the other browsers the onInterval is working fine and runs the code as fast as i require. I found a post on another forum but that person had no luck with this issue as well.[URL] Is there a alternative way to call functions at a fraction of a second?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to play mc in a specific time frame from the outside??
i'm actually making a card matching game and i'm having problem flipping the 1st card back if the cards don't match... i made 2 animation in 1 mc...the first one is to see the behind of the card...and the other one is to turn it back if wrong...
so is there a way that i could play the mc of the first card to frame 30 when clicking the 2nd card and they don't match??
I have a flash file where the first frame contains two buttons, one of which takes the user to the second frame, and the other takes them to the third frame. At each of those frames, various text fields and variables can be manipulated via SimpleButtons. Both Frame 2 and Frame 3 have "back" buttons to take them back to Frame 1.
Currently when the user navigates back to Frame 1 for the second time (thus playing it for a third time), my second button appears to no longer exist, and I receive an error. Both buttons on Frame 1 were placed via the Flash IDE. Why is my button popping out of existence, when it did perfectly fine the previous two times? Below is my code for Frame 1. The "back" buttons simple remove event listeners and then call gotoAndStop(1)
var inited:Boolean;
var cache:SharedObject;
var libsans:Font = new libsansreg();

I have a generative art app, and I'd like it to draw as many cycles as possible each frame without reducing the framerate. Is there a way to tell how much time is left until the screen updates/refreshes?I figure if I can approximate how many milliseconds each cycle takes, then I can run cycles until the amount of time left is less than the average or the peak cycle time, then let the screen refresh, then run another set of cycles.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that consists of a number of loops that play in series that allows me to change the duration of each part of the movie dependent on what is in the loop. Therefore loop 1 plays x number of times before moving on the loop 2 that plays y number of times and so on. I had worked out all my timings so that each loop last half a second. The number of times each loop plays is controlled by an if statement on the last frame of each loop. So far so good. In this main movie have another movie clip that runs independently of these loops and I noticed that although it was the same length as the main movie taking the loops into account, it would drift out of sync as the main movie progressed and looked as if it was running slow. However by tracing frame numbers of the two movies, I noticed that each time the main movie reaches on of the if statement frames although it appears to increment by one frame the other movie doesn't. By commenting out all the if statement frames both movie run in sync.
Therefore I conclude that a frame that controls the playhead position in this method does not actually last a full frame in duration, but jumps immediately to the new frame as soon as the command is encountered. Can I assume that this is constant and that frames used to move the playhead occupy no time in terms of the main timeline? Is there any documentation on this?
i want to code something like this:
Code:
if(mc played three times to the last frame){
addChild(mc2);
}
Is there a way to loop one frame after a certain period of time. I have only one frame in the timeline, and about 10 layers with a single frame containing a container to load external mcs. These frames are all lined up in one row and the mcs play after a certain number of seconds. The last layer containing my last mc that plays fades out to black and then nothing plays again but id like to have it so that all the mcs play again like the first time, like a loop.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use actionscript to swap the frame to a different one after a certain amount of time i.e 30 seconds.
View 2 RepliesThis is probably a very simple actionscript question I am using CS3 on an AS2 movie. I want to make a simple audio level bar and I created a movie clip with ten frames and ten squares that appear in a line. On each frame you can see one more square i.e. from 1 to 10.What I want is to have a + button on the main time line and every time it is pressed it advances on the frame of a movie clip called loader_mc to the next frame. Similarly if I press minus button the movie clip goes back a frame.This is the actionscript i tried but it only works once. It doesn't keep moving on each frame.
Code:
on (press) {
_root.loader_mc.gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);

I have a flash file of a snowman doing various activities. He's doing 7 different things (all individual movie clips) and I place each of the movie clips on the first 7 frames, I placed a stop action on each one.Here is the code I used
var myDate = new Date();
var localHours = this.myDate.getHours();
if (this.localHours>=6 || this.localHours<=18)

Basically, I wanted to 'save' the time thats been recorded in each of the 5 'games', so at the end there is a 'scores' page, with your times for each of the games.
I have managed to get the timer working for the games itself, but cannot find / work a method which saves them to the last frame?
I thought possibly converting the 'elapsed_time' into a different var (t1,t2 etc..) for each of the games? - doesn't seem to work timer_not_saving.fla
This is my first flash project and I am attempting to create a slide show that automatically changes frame after a certain time, but also have buttons for each frame. [URL] is the page where i have the flash slideshow on. I used a tutorial to make the nav bar, and used what I learned there, as well as some googling to attempt the slideshow. So far I think its turned out pretty good, but I have a problem. THe buttons work fine, but the auto change gets stuck on the second slide, even if I click to a differnet button to goes back to frame 2. Which makes me think that the function doesn't even go past the if(frame==1). here is the code
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var img1FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img1, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
stop();
var slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 8000);

Time variable is "clock" and I want it to switch frames once clock is equal to three.
View 3 RepliesI've created a complicated animation at a stupidly high frame rate. The .mov file at the moment just runs too slowly. The animation is of a watch interface so the timing is very important and I can't just have the movie file take twice as long at a lower frame rate.
How can I drop the frame rate without altering the overall time? and without manually changing the frame length of each motion tween?
Created a new file & new layer with 300 frames.Only used 150 frames for the animation.How do I edit (trim) the scene / project down to JUST the frames I need (ie 300 to 150) prior to export as swf?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to have a very simple functionality added to MC's on the stage. Probably should have read more tuts on the subject, but I seem to be stuck in my newbieness.Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several MC's on stage. Every time a mouse rolls over I want each MC to goAndPlay frame in that MC. I put all the MCs in the array. Here's the code
ActionScript Code:
var movies:Array = [movie1_mc, movie2_mc, movie3_mc, movie4_mc];
function overClip(event:MouseEvent):void
{[code]...............
have script running with onClick animation, then inside mc _up, _over, _down states.
What I need is when the tween animation is over then it needs to go to next frame in timeline. Tried everything... nextFrame - OnMotionFinished
Everything else is working fine. The tween- the rollovers- sound - are great!- but how do I get to the next frame and stop.
here my code on maintime line
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I have 5 overlapping tab buttons and when each is clicked, it calls to a specific frame. The tabs are assigned to a specific frame so that when the timeline jumps to the assigned frame, the tab clicked appears on top of the other tabs. My code below works, but only once. If I click a tab and then try to click a previous tab, nothing happens.
FYI: My 5 tab names are: rotating_globe, company_tab_mc, newproducts_tab_mc, applications_tab_mc and tradeshows_tab_mc
There's also a 'back_home_btn' that appears on the stage when user is not clicked on the 'rotating_globe' tab (the 'rotating_globe' tab is my default home button)
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
rotating_globe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotatingGlobeBtnHandler2);
company_tab_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, companyBtnHandler2);
newproducts_tab_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLI CK, newproductsBtnHandler2);

So what time trying to do is play a specific frame in the movieclip based on the time of day:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var myDate = new Date();
var hour = myDate.getHours();
[code]....
but when I change to "gotoandPlay" the movieclip just loads from the beginning frame and seems like it doesnt check the time.
I want to create a dynamic text box. set a (start) and (stop) time. have the time change along with each frame. its a blank movie with 150 frames. this is in frame 1.

How to make my mc scales every time i enter that frame on which mc is?
