ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Countdown Timer Event When There's A 3 Minute Delay/pause In Use?
Nov 11, 2009
at the tail end of my Flash cs4, actionscript 3.0 college project and want to incorporate a countdown Timer Event when there is a 3 minute delay of usage in the flash movie (interactive).Below is what I understand and want to accomplish.Is it correct to place the actionscript code in the actions layer of the 1st frame within the 1st scene?And will it be recognized throughout all the scenes within the flash movie?1. Have the flash movie recognize a delay of usage (no clicking) after 3 minutes to start a countdown Timer Event.??Where would I add code to the timer to fire every 3 minutes during a delay of usage?
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var count:Number = 11;
[code].....

I was thinking about indenting a countdown timer in my new room escape game, and I would like to know how to create a countdown timer with a set time field in minutes, rather than the other that goes by retrieving a date first. E.g. I would like to create one that counts down from 20 minutes, rather than one that gets the time and minute and date, and shows the correct time fields.

I'm making a side scrolling flash game called Kit-Run using actionscript 2.0. I want to give each level a two minute time limit - ideally to have an enemy mc load that comes and kills you when it reaches 00:00.
I've found a lot of tutorials that count down time limits for dates, but none for a simple minute counter. I've started with a dynamic text field called "timeDisplay". What do I now??

I need to make a countdown timer that starts at 1 minute, in this format 00:01:00.0.I found some code online that achieved this, but its in AS1. I've found some other examples/walkthoughs, but they are really basic and have no milliseconds.

I've found numerous resources about getTimer() and stuff but I can't get a grip on the function. I want to create a very simple countdown timer where the total time is 10min and when you press a button it starts counting down and if you press another button it pauses and if you click again resumes the countdown! Furthermore if not too complicated I want to show the seconds as well, for example 9min 40sec etc.

I just want to make a timer counting down to an event and I found this one:
Code:
//Create your Date() object
var endDate:Date = new Date(2009,9,5);
//Create your Timer object
//The time being set with milliseconds(1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
[Code] .....
which works good enough for me, but the problem is that I need this timer to count the same time no matter in which time zone are you, but unfortunately this isn't the case.

I have a button then when clicked plays a random movie clip on release. The problem is if people don't wait for the clip to finish and just keep clicking, more random movie clips overlap the first one. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it so clicking is does nothing until the clip is complete, or a set amount of time has passed since the clips are all the same length.

What I'd like to do is create a countdown timer to a specific date, but from all the tutorials I've read, I can't seem to find one that will include milliseconds; only a Day:hour:min:sec format.What I'd like is an Hour:min:sec:milliseconds format (the milliseconds whilst considerably pointless, is an aesthetic choice - I'm hoping the frantically changing numbers will display a sense of urgency).I'm using Flash CS4, and the following Actionscript so far:
Actionscript Code:
var endDate:Date = new Date(2012,9,6);var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);countdownTimer.start();function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void{ var now:Date = new Date(); var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime(); var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft / 1000); var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds /

coding, create a *******' timer to the exact time. I found billionsof tutorials to countdown to a day, but NOBODY can provide a sampleto countdown to a date and time (i.e. Dec. 25 @ 8PM).I need this to countdown to a TV show's premier. And I'm adesigner not a coder... so there has to be a FLA file out therethat I could snag and just update the graphics and plug in a timeand date, and then it counts down once I make a SWF?

I want to make a nine minute countdown timer. Just some event countdowns that include a date and all I need is a simple 9 minute countdown. The timer starts at 09 and ends at 00 ...So, that's pretty much it. Oh and I'm using dynamic text for the numbers.

I know you can trigger a function by adding through a timer like this i ActionScript3:
Code:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerDone);
But what I'm trying to do is just have a timer create a delay in between a couple of statements within the same function. Is that possible? Something very simple would do, like
public function changeVar():void {
myVar = "red"
xxxTIMER CODE HERE
myVar = "blue"
}
How do I leave myVar equal to red for 5 seconds and then have it change to blue?

I have been looking at tutorials and forums for almost three hours now. I am building an analog timer that goes to two minutes. I've setup a timer and have attempted to get the second hand to rotate as the timer continues. So far all it does is move that initial rotation. It looks like only 15 degrees or so. and it doesn't seem to matter what numbers I change it only goes to that 15 degrees.
Here is my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
var twoMinuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 120);
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void

I 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 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'm trying to make a countdown timer, but I haven't really learnt all about actionscript. (not yet anyway), but I need a timer that can count down the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds from a given time to an other.
I need the start timer to say:
01:31:53:70 (hour:minutes:seconds:milliseconds) and then it should count down so the timer stops at:
01:30:00:00

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) {

I have this code which creates a timer that counts down from the specified time (displayed in a dynamic text box named timer);
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
var currTime = getTimer();
var targTime = Number(555) * 1000;
[code]....
I want to stop and start again the timer (from the time at which it was stopped) by clicking a pause and play button.I have this code on the pause button (which works to stop the timer);
on (press) {
_root.timer = timeLeft;
}
I can't get the play button to start the timer again from the time it is stopped at.
