ActionScript 3.0 :: Fading And Displaying / Delaying MC With Timer Function
Jul 31, 2010
I have been trying to execute functions in a sequential order, but I am totally stuck, and I dont know what else to do. I basically want different movie clips to be faded in and out, but one after the other... just like a movie intro with the name, stars etc.. text fading in, text fading out, etc etc... Maybe this is TOTALLY retarded what I am trying to do, but I didnt want to do the classic motion tween in the frames, cause thats just too tedious, and on the other hand I want to learn AS3.0. So here is the code, I am fading in the first movieclip, and displaying/delaying it with the timer function, so it sits on the screen for 4 seconds, until it fades out and stops. Problem is that both clips act the same, and I dont know how to delay //text 2 (clipTwo).
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code] .....

I have been searching the internet for help on how to delay code within a single function, but every solution I have found so far relies on creating event listeners for a timer and then running commands from the event handler functions.I am writing a 'console' type interface where the user types in a string which is, upon pressing enter, processed in one function and then sent to a final function to display the result.[code]I want to somehow insert a pause between each call of that last function, updateDisplay.

I have 7 movie clip symbols which i would like to become visible using a timer.I would like to be able to make them appear one at a time, to a time of my choice after a 'start button' has been pressed.When the start button is pressed another movie clip already plays as a back ground.

I created a game in AS3 using a tutorial written for AS2 but I can't get the timer working correctly. The game contains 3 frames, a start screen, game loop, and end screen. the timer starts on frame 2, and counts down (tested this with a trace). When the timer reaches 0 I want to go to frame 3 which is the end game screen but my code isn't working.
var fl_SecondsToCountDown:Number = 30;
var fl_CountDownTimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000, fl_SecondsToCountDown);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_CountDownTimerHandler);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.start();
theTimer.text = String(fl_SecondsToCountDown);

Code for timer:
var oneSecTimer:Timer = new Timer (1000,60);
oneSecTimer.start();
oneSecTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER , timerListener );
oneSecTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE , onTimerComplete );
function timerListener (event:TimerEvent):void {
secs.text.text = oneSecTimer;
} function onTimerComplete (event:TimerEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(5);
days=days+1;
}
When I run the movieclip I get, where the timer is supposed to be showing the countdown, a "[object timer]" message instead.

I've been trying to put together a function that I can reference through various symbols in a movie to fade their alpha properties. So far all I've found is code that forces me to reference the specific symbol in the function, however I have to do this to a BUNCH of symbols over different periods within my timeline, part of which will be triggered by a loaded movie. Any function that will fade up or down that can sit on the _root. and be referenced by any symbol whenever needed?

I'm creating flash image galleries for a local design firm's site. Their pages are long, vertically scrolling, with large image galleries spaced down the page (about 900x400px each). Each of these shows an initial image, and then has buttons above to select image 1-9, or pre/next image. The images will need to dissolve from one to the next.Because there are so many of these galleries, I want to put each in a folder, name all of the images Image1.jpg, Image2.jpg, etc. and include a txt file to tell my navigation button how many images are in the gallery (this part works).
OK, but I just can't get the thing going now. Here's how I've approached it:
Each Gallery image is a MC that has an alpha in/out animation, with a stop action in between that also swaps it to a certain level (just so I can identify it using getInstanceAtDepth when I need to fade it out).Image_1 is attached to an empty container on stage at the start. I want to define a function that will be called by my gallery buttons that will 1) tell the clip currently onstage to fade out (that works), 2) attach the appropriate clip to my container clip at a particular level (this does not).
Code:
_global.galleryFader = function(clickVar) {
// "clickVar" is returned when the gallery number buttons are pressed

I'm trying to create a function that will help me fade in sounds with the help of setInterval. I'm almost there! Here is the code so far:
// Begin
melodyhalf1 = new Sound("melodyhalf1_mc");
melodyhalf1.attachSound("melodyhalf1");
melodyhalf1.start(0, 99);
[Code]....
I placed a comment in the Sound.prototype.fadeIn to test if it was being called, as well as to see if the melodyhalf1 variable (object?) was being passed.
The results are that the fadeIn function *is* being called, but the trace(this) comes back with 'undefined'.

I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!

I have a loop and in it i am attaching a movie clip (basiccly its just a row with data). The movieclip has a alpha fade in it. Now I want to delay each attachmovie function so that the movies are attached one by one rather then trow them all on the screen at once. (plus it looks better with the alpha fade).
I tried the setInterval but it wont work (ex.:Interval is 1 sec, and if im going to attach 6 MC, flash wait 6 * 1 sec, then show them all)
And is it possible to attach a movieclip inside a othermovieclip thats not on the same frame (the other MC is on frame 10)?

I'm trying to create something that you could use in a game that shows you the points adding to your total score little by little (instead of it adding it all at once). I've managed to make a timer delay, but it will still only update once and I don't know what to do.
Code:
var pointBuffer:Number = 500;
var totalPoints:Number = 1000;

I'm making an image gallery that has an MC as a background that resizes itself due to the size of the image. How can I use the loadMovie function when the button is pressed it will resize the background to the size THEN display the loaderMC that will load the image.How can I achieve this effect? I'm wanting to use the reusable MC (from Kirupa tutorials) or something that will load the image and show a status bar for the loading.

I'm using this timer code for my game.
It should play 10 seconds and then go to the next scene.
PHP Code:
function timer(){
seconds=seconds-1;
if (seconds < 0) {
[Code].....
Well that works, but when I click on the play-again-button in the next scene, it won't play for 10 seconds (but less). I think the timer goes on without stopping. How can I stop the timer function when I move to the next scene?

Currently creating a game and having a problem with the enemy's shooting.Having a problem with a function which allows the enemys to periodically shoot at the ship. At the moment I have got one ship firing and the other 2 wont fire at all. I have done some edit's to the code and I have managed to make it so all 3 ships fire but there is no gap inbetween the bombs being fired (which eventually makes the game crash.)I have the variable defined at the top:
Code:
var bombTimer = 200;
This is the function:

In my game I've got a scene where you get 3 seconds to click a button otherwise its Game Over, only problem is my code only works if I press the button straight away.
During some testing I was waiting 2 seconds then pressing the button, but when I go to the next part of the game, it will carry on to GameOver as if the Timer has not stopped.[code]...

have images play automatically when you don't click on PREV or NEXT buttons in a gallery for a certain amount of time.
I've used the TIMER function, but found that, when I click on PREV or NEXT, the timer would be activated again on that picture, which messes up the entire browsing experience.
