ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Timed Event Which Will Happen Every 10 Mins
Feb 10, 2011
I am trying to create a timed event which will happen every 10ms. I want to achieve a high level of precision (+- 1ms) but I have not found any way to do this. I tried to use the frame rate, but that varied a lot. I also tried to use the timer class, but this did not work very well either (even when I set the timer to go off every millisecond, it went off anywhere between 3 to 40 ms.) Even after using the timer class with getTimer(); I had no guarantee that the event would happen every 10ms.
Code:
import flash.utils.*;
var LastTime:Number = getTimer();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, TimeCheck);
myTimer.start();
[Code] .....

Long time flash "dabbler" who has avoided using scripts as long as possible. But now finds himself having to use CS4 and AS3.
I have a situation that would have been easy to handle in older version of Flash or Swish. Previousely if I had an imported FLV or SWF that was 7 seconds long at 20 FPS I would have gone to frame 140 and set a getURL action to redirect to a webpage at the end of the movie.
But with CS4 & AS3, this is not so simple anymore.
I have a button that when pressed successfully invokes the navigateToURL parameter when pressed. But at the same time I am playing an FLV in the background that is 7 seconds long.
What I need to do is have a timed event that at the end of 7 seconds (7000 milliseconds) then invokes the navigateToURL function.
how to accomplish this? I have looked all over and have not seen anything that accomplishes this.
Here is what i have as my script on frame 1 in my actions layer including some timed event scripting
stop();
// We need to import the utils packageimport flash.utils.*;
// Create a new Timer object with a delay of 7000 msvar introTimer:Timer = new Timer(7000);introTimer.addEventListener("timer", timedFunction);

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

I recently created a flash banner for a fireworks company (I know basic Flash). I have some code for the actual fireworks in my file that sits on one frame with some Action Script (see below). I also have a movie that is playing the text (on one frame) and I have a background and 2 logos, each on just one frame. (of course the text movie has more frames, but the movie itself is on just one layer/frame)I need all the animation to stop after 15 seconds, but all the fireworks script on that one frame throws me off! Here's the code for the fireworks. I would assume somewhere, somehow there's code to tell everybody to stop animating after 15 seconds?[code]

I have this code that works great to center a background image and even other MC's on the stage. However, I am looking to tweak this code slightly and I just can't figure out how.Instead of the button1MC being center, I need to define it's coordinates on the stage to line up at the bottom or even the left side or something...I'm creating a nav bar of MC's that need to have fixed coordinates on the stage and resize when the window is resized.Lastly I need to fix a .min for the stage so that the MC's on the stage stop repositioning when the stage/window get resized too small, like below 500x500 or something. know this is simple, but I can't figure out where to add the stage min parameters or even how to properly adjust the button1MC's
function init()
{
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

I am learning actionscript. I browse through the internet and this is the code that I have come up with for a timer to countdown from 11 mins.(subject title a mistake)However, I have a slight problem. When I click on teh start button to come down, I expect it to show 11:00, 10:59, 10:58 and so on.. But once I click the start button, it goes to 10:58 or 10:57 or some time before 02:00.
var start_time = getTimer();
var countdowntime=660000;
var countdownTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000);

I try to do live stream by FMS 4.5.1 and FMLE 3.2 (H.264&MP3 encoding) It's all good no matter video or audio. But after about 30 mins, stream freeze. Refresh doesn't help, only get a black screen without any error message.
restart service or reboot my PC still the same. The only way to fix it is uninstall FMS and Install it again. HDS works again....but same problem happens after 30 mins or a couple of hours.
tried on 2 PC (Win7 x64 & x32) still the same.

i have 5 images i wish to use for the slideshow, but i have no idea what to insert in the actionscript so that once the page loaded, the image will change in the order like (1 to 2 to 3 ... ) every 10secs and when i click on the image it will also load the next image without waiting for that 10secs.and which frame do i insert the actionscript code?

I am trying to construct a timed loop... so far without success.What I need is a loop where iteration 0 + i + 1 starts a few seconds after iteration 0 + i. I tried putting a timer inside the loop but the loop seems to simple skip the timer instead of executing it sequentially before starting the next iteration. Here is the code snippet:
Code:
var iTimer : Timer;
for( var i:int = 0; i < 2; i++ )
{
trace( i + " i iterations" );
[code]....
The loop does not seem to wait for jLoop() to be executed. It speeds ahead onto the next iteration, instantiating a new timer and thus screwing up the timing of the iterations. I have tried different things like putting break and continue statements in there but to no avail.

I have been trying to come up with a way to have a Timer of which I can modify the Tick time between executions. I have the tick amount as a variable but it seems like the Timer just evaluates that variable once at the start and then ignores it. I've tried adding and removing the EventListeners in between modifying the tick variable but that does not in any way affect the original Timer. For the project I am using this in I cannot simply have a second or third timer to enable with different variables seeing as I would need upwards of 30 of them to do it that way. Can anyone point me in the direction of a way to have a variably timed Timer?

I was wondering if it was possible to make a small script in Jquery that would change an image at a certain time. For my site, I want the image for the opening and closing of a facility to change when it opens and closes. Is this possible with Jquery or should I go with something else? Actionscript/Flash? I can't use PHP on the site...

[Code]...
Problem is that i want to catch messageClientDestroyed and send to that destination a message that the user has disconnected.But blazeds destroys messageClient when you add a subtopic.So how to understand that if session is invalidated and all messageClient are being destroyed or the user just enter another place and add a subtopic to his consumer. I'am also open for other solutions to implement that mechanism.When user disconnected by session timeout or closed the site browser etc. i wanna catch it and send a message to subscribed destinations.

working on a project which has a number of buttons, when the user rolls over one of these buttons the alpha value decreases to 0 to reveal a image on a lower layer.What I would like to do is gradually restore the alpha back to 100% after the user has moved the cursor off a button. However, I dont want the alpha to restore to 100% straight away, I would like there to be a few second delay before the alpha starts restoring, is this possible, and if so how would I go about doing it

Im making a little sequencer program as part of a bigger application. The sequencer playhead MC needs to move at accross the stage at a constant speed regardless of the frame rate of application.how to achieve this? My first thought was setInterval, but i have since read that it is not that accurate accross framerate changes either.

I'm using this piece of code from a panning source file uploaded to this site while back. I've tried to change the code so that after you press the button the movie will slide to a certain point ( 100,100 ) and then the movie will start its motion again ( nMC.startMotion() ) the problem is it doesn't have time to move to the position before the movieclip startmotion code kicks in.
img.b3.onRelease = function() {
nMC.slideToPoint(100,100); I need a delay here; nMC.startMotion()
}

Using an FLV playback component, I am reading subtitles into a dynamic text box. I'm essentially using the same XML code seen here:URL]..Only problem is, the style tags aren't working for me. They do nothing, and the font style options selected on the stage in the FLA seem to override any style tags.
I'm wondering - does the text box need to be created in Action Script (as opposed to on the stage)? [FYI, I just tried this, this did not seem to work either]. What else could it be?
(Note that I can achieve styling through using CDATA tags, which makes matters more confusing to me. I'd prefer to use the timed text ones if they can work, as they are a little better for readability).

I have a main movie with 2 empty movie clips on the stage. They have the instance names clip1 and clip2. I also have 10 swf files named movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, etc. I want to randomly load any 2 of these swf files into the 2 empty movie clips in the main movie. After the 2 swf files have been loaded, I want one of them to last 20 seconds, and then randomly load a new swf file to replace it. And the other one, after 30 seconds, will randomly load a new swf file to replace itself. And this cycle will go on & on...
I have the following actionscript:
[Code]....
Unfortunately, it isn't working. Is there an error with how I typed this? Or do I need to change something so it will work?
I basically want to load 2 swf files into 2 different targets, have one of them last 20 seconds & then randomly load a new swf, and have the other last 30 seconds & then randomly load a new swf. What is the correct actionscript to achieve this?

An image on each. the page is the same size as the images(all images are the same size). i've added motion to them so the pics move from top to bottom, no gaps in between. thats it. what i want is for the clip to only move when the mouse is placed over the clip, otherwise it shouldn't move.
