Im just start with AS3 and I saw in an example how to made a simple clock, but it is using enterFrame event, if my movie is working at 30fps, is a good practice use enterFrame for a second counter? Is there any other better function or better practice where I does not need to check 30 times in every second?
View 2 RepliesI have this code on my MC. I just want to know if what i'm getting is correct. I have this to get the date, day, month, year...you know the drill, but i can only get the complete date to display if I use onClipEvent(load). (enterFrame) won't work, and i just wanted to make sure there was a reason behind it. Is it because I'm using arrays? check out the code. I do not want to majorly change the code if it can be avoided...

I have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

i am moving from AS3 and Java to Expression Blend/WPF, but cant seem to figure out how to replicate EnterFrame event in C#, is there a update() or frameUpdate() function.
View 2 RepliesI have a hitTest on an enterFrame event that adds a movieClip.I then want the movie clip to be on a timer that changes it to another movieClip.As you can imagine, there is a conflict because the hitTest always finds the original Mc an so over-rides the timer.I know this is a logic problem but I cant seem to figure it out.I am pretty sure I am thinking about this the wrong way.here is some of the code:
//this is the hitTest
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,leftPillarHit);
function leftPillarHit(ev:Event):void {

In the move function below, I'm attempting to have move return false, when it becomes true I want to delete this on enterframe event. In essence when the clips come to rest and the function is no longer needed delete the function call.
Code:
//Variable to store number of Clips desired
clipCount = 6;
xArray = new Array(179.1, 249.1, 321.0, 179.1, 249.1, 321.0);
yArray = new Array(145.0, 144.0, 145.0, 206.0, 205.0, 204.0);

I am trying to figure out how to get an enterframe event listener to stop. I created a simple example below, where a line spins around on stage until the user clicks on it. When they click on it, the user should be jumped to frame 2.
Code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateIt);
line_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,goSomewhere);
[code].....
However, when I run that code, I get the following error:
at test_fla::MainTimeline/rotateIt()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Which tells me that the event listener is not being removed. I also tried putting the removeEventListener code on frame 2, which didn't work either.
i have linked a movie clipe and creating multiple copies of it through attachMovie().i want to used this enterframe event to change the alpha of all my movie clips from 100 to 0 and viceversa when i drag and drop the movie clip

I'm using greensocks MP3Loader to play IntroMp3. I want to dispatch a custom event when the value of the MP3Loader.soundTime property is 3 (3seconds). I've done it with an enter frame event. the problem is that it dispatches the event more then one time. what is the better way to check that the MP3Loader.soundTime property is == to 3 and dispatch my event only one time?
Code:
IntroMp3.playSound();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {

This draws almost perfect circle:

but...... if I wanted the circle to be drawn faster and change _speed to lets say .7 the circle becomes a polygon. How to get the circle to be drawn fast so it looks like a circle?
how can i pause and resume a game when it has more than one Enterframe Event?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a simple play, stop, rewind. fforward controller. I have the slideShow and the Control in the same time line. As the enterframe event is nested inside a function it will rewind but then none of the other buttons will work as I am not able to removeEventListener for the enterframe event.

I have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.

View 4 Repliescan you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

Timing Format in Flex "24-hour clock" and "12-hour clock"if "24-hour clock" Button is selected, the control should convert times to 24 hour clock time. For example, if 3:45 p.m. is entered, it should be converted to 15:45.if "12-hour clock" Button is selected, the control should convert times to 12 hour clock time. For example, if 15:45 p.m. is entered, it should be converted to

I am working on an eLearning course whereas client requied the course to be keyboard accessible. He wants all the shortcuts with Alt key combination.I can trap the Alt key with the use of enterframe but that makes my course processing heavy so I tried to trap Alt key with keylistener event but unfortunately keylistener event doesn't listen Alt key .how to trap Alt key without using enterframe or interval?

View 3 RepliesI have a function that running on ENTER_FRAME inside another function that is called once on COMPLETE. I need to stop that ENTER_FRAME later on in the timeline. Here's the basic code:
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener);
function startListener(e:Event):void
{
var mySprite = new Sprite();
[Code]....
So you see when myLoader is COMPLETE it creates mySprite that is an ENTER_FRAME and continues to run the function playerBarPos. The function playerBarPos then traces over and over again "this keeps going and going". How do I later in the timeline stop this?
If I have added Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners to different components, how can I set or know the ordering of when these events will be fired on each enterFrame?Instead of adding enterFrame listeners to individual elements, is it better practice to have one element which listens for enterFrame events, and has an array of elements needing updating on enterFrames, thereby making it easy to organize and change the firing order of these events?
View 3 RepliesI have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.

i didnt script for a while and I forgot the actionscript to add to a button so it repeats whatever it has to do on enterframe.SO i dont have to make another mc where it loops the action..

I know this doesn't work, because onClipEvent only works on buttons or MCs. So the question is: is there an onTimelineEvent or something that'd work on the timeline?
