I'm pretty new to Flash CS4 Professional and ActionScript 3.0.
1. A simple stopwatch (like this one: [URL]) that starts as soon as the swf Flash file opens.
2. TV static that fills the stage, with a shape (say a red star) on top of it. An example of TV static is here: [URL] - it's in AS2.0 though, using Flash 8.
I need to know how to make a simple stopwatch, so that the time is displayed in a dynamic text box. with stop and start buttons. and the format of the time in "minmin:secsec:millamilla"
View 11 RepliesI am having a problem with my stopwatch, it starts at 04:00 seconds. This probally because of the timer script executing to early, so could anyone help me with a script that sets the timer to 00:00 without stoping it?
Code:
mcl = new Object();
mcl.onKeyUp = up;[code].....
I've got game for kids where you click the right coloured circle.Its not really a game as I'm writing my dissertation on designing interfaces for kids. You didn't ned to know that. Basically, I've made a game where you click the right coloured circle to go to the next level, and what I need is a timer that starts when you click "play" and ends when the last circle is clicked. This is so they can see how long it has taken them.
I have uploaded the fla file here http:[url]....f you could take a look, it's not a big file.I have searched for a while and Ive managed to make counters but only ones that start when the movie loads and I don't know how to stop them.
how I can put a stopwatch or a timer in my animation? I know how to do the digital clock, but I don't want it to tell me what time of day it is, I want it to time the actions of my clips on the stage.
View 5 Repliesi need to insert a stopwatch to a form. When someone start to type, fill the for the stopwatch start and when he finish it should stop or the person can press a button to stop the stopwatch. i tried to insert some stopwatch but all i could find was old Flash version, not compatible with my actual work. I am working with Flash 8, Actionscript 2.
View 8 RepliesI have a ball in a page and a stopwatch.
The stopwatch works fine starts on page ready.The ball moves using the arrow keys.
But i am just wondering how can I create some kind of boundary, (which will be the size of the page) which when the ball collides with it or goes out of the page the stopwatch will stop?[code]...
how to get a stopwatch going in flash? I need it to work as a timer, so no buttons are needed just to begin and displayed when the swf is played.
View 3 RepliesI'd like to create a stopwatch that starts at 00:00 when a play button is pressed, and then stops whenever the stop button is pressed. After the stop button is pressed, I would like the time to be displayed on the next frame, and say something like "You pressed the stop button in x". I'm using flash CS3...so actionscript 2.

View 1 Replieshow bad is this practice? I am having trouble getting to some stuff so i am taking the easy way out
Code:
private static var _interrupted:Boolean;
public static function setInterrupted(value:Boolean):void{
_interrupted = value;
}
Let's say you have the following situation:
1. Static var(an Array) stored in a class.
2. You create a variable reference to the static class in a separate class.
3. Splice some items from the reference variable in the separate class.
4. Trace the static class and the items have been removed from that too.
5. Verify several times.
6. Get confused.

Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as

If I created a static method. say I decide to call on other methods within that static method. Do those methods I call on need to be static as well? what If I used some of the properties. Not to store data permanently, but just within that process. Do those properties need to be static ??
View 3 RepliesYesterday I found myself wondering, what is the difference between either having a class with methods that are all static, or simply giving your class the static attribute?
View 9 RepliesAlright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
I'm kind off oblivious as to what I'm doing wrong here... I have two classes: - Alley - AlleyCat

Flash is not in my toolset, but I am an old Director jock and have spent some hours dipping my head into the Flash manual. I suppose that makes me a promising beginner-level poster. I'm working in CS5.
I need to make a simple Flash-based sound player for a website for a newly-released novel (http://www.bearriverbooks.com/index.html). I want the user to click on what appears to be an icon (or image), which kicks open a simple controller and starts playing a sound file (a radio interview, which I will probably export using Flash's voice compression). Nothing fancy. Just want the visitor to hear the sound and be able to apply simple controls (stop/start/rewind/volume).
I can learn ActionScript, I suppose, since I used to dream in Lingo, but my life would be a lot simpler if I could just publish a controller without having to roll my own. I'd like to think there's a magic button somewhere that can do this, but I haven't found it yet.
This is a function in a movieclip called Level
function makeLvl():void
{//this function will add bells to the stage
bellTime ++;//increment the time[code]........
this creates a few children movieclips inside Level.Now, inside Bell(), I wish to access some variables like this:
parent.bellTotal = 0;
but it says: Access of possibly undefined property bellTotal through a reference with a static type flash:DisplayObjectContainer
Is it possible to add my own custom property to the flash.display.Bitmap using a public static method? I'm trying to write a bitmap utility that does something to a bitmap, and stores a Number property onto it afterwards.
[Code]....
I'm still learning AS3.0 OOP, I think that this can't be done with this method. I think I have to make a new Class that extends 'Bitmap', add the prop there, and then in the Main.as make a new instance of that class, point to the target Bitmap, and run the method in the extended 'Bitmap' class (?).
I would like to do the following:Have a few objects (e.g. 20 of them), each time I mouse over any one of them, it moves up and each time my mouse leaves, it moves down.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI've flash app and i've static data (like ~18.0KB) for it which aren't changed often so I was wondering how to better get them. The static data may be in XML or JSON. One of my ideas was to put the static data in .js file within a function which would return them in JSON list and the other one was to return them in XML (as I like to work with XML more in Flash) somehow. But I'm not sure if it possible to put XML stuff in JS file to return them when function is called.. Or is XML pages also cached in browser and I will get the same performance result which I would get with cached JS files?
View 1 RepliesI have a Box2D world with a mixture of static and dynamic bodies. On collisions, I can only get the positions of the dynamic ones.
Is it possible to get the positions of static objects?

I can't use dispatchEvent in my static class, I was wondering if anyone knew how I can achieve similar functionality or if it's possible at all to call dispatchEvent from my static class? I basically want to inform my action script code in my flash file when functionality in my static class is complete.

If you compile a Flash project into a .swf file and that project refers to another .swf file, is it linked statically or dynamically? That is, is the second .swf file contained physically in the first .swf file or does the first .swf file refer to the second at run-time?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to "reflect on" static members of an ActionScript object (get all the static properties/methods of that type programmatically)?
Why is that flash.utils.describeType(*) can only show non-static members?
I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a static mask with dynamic content (as in a picture you can zoom/pan) in ActionScript. I've seen a lot of the opposite (see here), where you have static content (like an image) and a dynamic mask on top that you can manipulate. I would like to do the opposite - have a static mask (set at some size at some area) with dynamic content underneath. So for example, a user could zoom in/drag around some content, and the display size wouldn't change, while the content would move. You could imagine Google Maps being confined to a smaller square and being able to zoom in/manipulate the map through that square, and have whitespace outside of that square.
