ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Distinct Timers - Displays Elapsed Time
Apr 28, 2006I have an app in which there are 2 identical units that have a timer that displays elapsed time. I'm using a single file for these units since they are identical. When a user turns one of the units on, its timer is supposed to start and when they turn it off, it should then stop. The problem I'm having is this:
If I go to one unit and turn it on, and, after 2-3 minutes, turn it off, then go to the 2nd unit, instead of displaying 0:00, it displays the 2:00+ that was on the first unit. If I go back to the first unit and turn it back on, instead of starting at the 2:00+ mark, it starts up at 3:00 or later. I'm not very familiar with the way getTimer works, but I had figured that could be set to start whenever I wanted.
If the user then selects a new module, instead of restarting at 0:00, it starts off at around 5:00 or so. It appears to be giving the time from when I started the Flash piece instead of since the beginning of the module like I thought it would. How should I code these timers so that they can start when the user selects a module and so that they can be distinct values?

Dynamically Creating New Movie Clips?
Apr 20, 2010My game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?
Code:
function newBall() {
var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A MC Inside A MC Dynamically?
Apr 10, 2011I have two MCs classesThe first one is put on the stage. Then, from the first MC class (inside the class), i put another MC. So i created a MC inside the first MC.I can see both MC when i test my movie.I put the second MC when the mouse cursor is over the first MC, and i remove it when the mouse cursor is out the first MC.My problem is that when the mouse cursor is over the second MC, the movie behaves like the mouse cursor goes out of the first MC, so the second MC is removed, so i can't click on it.

View 10 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Creating Gradient Circles?
Sep 20, 2009I'm creating a mask in what can best be described as a glorified spotlight effect program. It involves dynamically creating a gradient circle that will be the spotlight in question. However, I've run into a problem while creating gradient circles dynamically.
Code:
// in CS4
var testCircle:Sprite = new Sprite();
testCircle.cacheAsBitmap = true; // this can be true or false; doesn't fix the problem
[code]....
However, no matter what you put as CIRCLE_RADIUS, this will always output an approx 100-radius gradient in the center, and whatever is left over will have 0.0 alpha the rest of the way.So if you make one with a radius of 300, it'll show up as a circle with radius 100 and 200 pixels either side of blank space.Intersetingly enough, if you set the radius to less than 100 (say, 80), it'll cut off the circle at the radius and leave you with a hard edge.
I've found that if you set the ending alpha to anything other than 0.0, the full gradient is rendered. But I don't really want a hard edge Of course, fancy matrix transformations can fix this. But even those are unpredictable for some strange reason...even an identity matrix scales it drastically.Or do I have to go with pre-rendered ones or fancy matrixwork?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Dynamically Loaded Menu?
Feb 19, 2010I'm creating / adapting a horizontally XML dynamically loaded menu. Load the text for each menu item from XML, and then I place this text in an array. Then later in my script I run loop through the array to add the menu items / text to the menu.I want the horizontal menu just to be a line of text so like:Menu item | Menu item two | Menu Item threeEach one gets put in a dynamic text box. I want to find out what the width of menu item one is so I can set the x position of the next menu item.I was thinking I could as I loop through and create each menu item, add the widths (using TextField.textWidth property) to an array and then use info in there to set the x position of the next menu item.

Actionscript :: Flex - Creating A Class Dynamically?
Jul 17, 2009I need to load all images that I have used in my project externally without embedding. The images are present either in skins or as icons for items in trees. I came across the IconUtility class here I was able to modify it and use it for trees but the problem is we cannot use iconutility for the same component to set 2 different skins (like for a button - upskin downskin). I was not able to think of a workaround with iconutility. Is it possible to simulate embed and create a class dynamically and return the class at runtime?
