ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get Timer That Shoots Multiple Functions
Feb 26, 2009
I really need a Timer that shoots multiple functions. The Timer Class just handles one function and therefore is not good enough for my project. The Timer should work something like this:
After 1 seconds fire functionOne
After 4 seconds fire functionTwo
...and so on...
Time is really crucial in my project (down to milliseconds) so I really can't use the Timer Class and fire "new" Timers all the time because Flash needs some milliseconds to process all the code and in the end it sums up to kind of a lot of time.

I am trying get a timer function that I can change the interval on? IE. I invoke the function for 5 frames and the last one I want to have a different delay time. It seems that for each action I have to create multiple listeners and multiple functions for? Surely there is a way, without producing a class, that I can just chaneg the timedelay? But, AS3 wants to declare the time before the function.

var myInstance:MovieClip = new SomeClass() as MovieClip
I get a Type Coercion error call:
Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@1fbcc271 to fl.text.TCMText.

Let's take the next example:
<mx:State name="sayHello">
<mx:SetProperty name="preText" target="{this}" value="Hello"><mx:SetProperty>

Can I somehow know when preText property has been set to hello?

In my side-scrolling game, I am trying to create blow darts which the player shoots. Of course, I want the darts to start where the Player is and then the darts move in their directions.
However, I have a problem. In my game I use a scrolling function that places the player right in the middle of the screen. Here is that function:

I have like a bullet shooting thing which shoots bullets (obviously), and it sorta rotates around a point and fires at a movie clip. At the moment the bullets move outwards because of a animation in side the bullet movie clip, but how can I make them move outwards and away from the thing that fired them using actionscript?

I did this once in AS2, but as I'm trying now to code in AS3, everything has to be re-learned. I have a very simple game where the user has to navigate through an intersection without getting hit by oncoming traffic. The traffic is a single movie clip that I want to use over and over. Using an interval, I can add the movie clip as a child of a container, but once it plays it's done. Previously, I used the variable "i" and added it to the end of the instance name. Something like this did work:

I am attempting to use multiple AS3 timers to run a short animation in flash but I'm having a problem with some of the instances running slowly or not being removed when they are supposed to. I found a way to make things work the way I want but in being new to AS3 I believe my runtime issues are due to jumbled code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var playerFadeTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 2, true);
var playerXTween:Tween=new Tween(thewebs, "x", Strong.easeOut, 292, 10, 2, true);

i have a shooting game that works with some sort of rounds, for instance, this round is gonna show 4 enemies on the screen that the user has to shoot. I show the 4 enemies at a half seconds interval of each one so it doesnt all appear on the same time. Using something like:
enemiesShowTimer = new Timer(0.5 * 1000, 1);
enemiesShowTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showEnemyAtTime);
enemiesShowTimer.start();
The player has 2 seconds to kill each enemy after they appear, so i also use this:
enemiesCleanTimer = new Timer(roundConfig.getSecondsPerEnemy() * 1000, 1);
enemiesCleanTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, cleanEnemies);
enemiesCleanTimer.start();
The problem is, after the player dies i change scene and if i still have like 3 alive, enemies, the threads will try to run the methods and it will crash. I'm using always the same variable to the start the timer whenever i need it. How can i solve this? Will i have to store each "thread" (timer) on a list and then stop each one separately? Because the way it is, the other threads are in some sort of "limbo" and i cant stop then, just the last one.

I have multiple buttons with the following script applied which waits a second while a transition animation plays then loads a new image into the container... There seems to be a problem with having this code applied to multiple buttons unless I make the function and interval identifiers unique (i.e. transitiondelay1/waitFunction1,transitiondelay2/waitFunction2, etc.). I don't really want to have to do this to each button.[code]

I am building a Flash site with a boombox animation. I have the below code I am using. I am using just two frames. First frame, is where I put the code in the actions layer, boombox is still. In the second frame, I placed my movie clips on layers (woofers vibrating & tape deck spins). No code in second frame. So, if you hit the play, previous or forward button a song goes on and the animation start. If you press the pause button, animations stop with music. I have created 2 functions per button.
2 questions: 1 - Is this the best way to do it? If I press the buttons quickly, sometimes a song gets stuck and I can't stop, forward, etc. I was wondering if this was the code?
2 - I am tweening in my pages using AS3 - not timeline. I have a music and video page (each a movieclip). Is there a way that once I tween in the new movie clip (non-music of vid page) that the music or video can shut off?

I have used the loader script to load an external swf into current project. I have added a button to unload the external file when wanted, and was wondering if you could have multiple functions for that button, so that when you click it to unload it works as a 'home' button as well, and takes the user back to the mainpage again?Might be wise to mention that im kinda new to adobe flash and as3, and not sure if the way i have used to load the external swf was the easiest. Seems like a few have had some issues with this subject before me as well.

How would I manage to enable a button to perform several operations? I want a button to do the following.
I want it to change colour etc, when it is hovered over, I also want it to activate anther flash file on the page via local connection on release. How do I allow the button to set up different actions? Do I need to make 2 separate invisible buttons? And have action script applied to both of them for the 2 commands? How for example would I be able to extend this so that I can have the button doing several things? Say:
1) On rollover it changes colour
2) On rollover it activates a flash mc on the page
3) On Click it changes colour
4) On release it takes the user to another page

I'm trying to fiqure out a way to have multiple SetInterval functions. what I'm trying to do is have text highlight a sentence using the setinterval function than after the number of chars needed are highlighted I want to be able to clear the interval and then start with the next sentence through another setInterval.
The program I'm trying to write is somewhat of a text to speech. I have a audio clip and a static text box. the audio is supposed to sync with the highlight of the text. the only way i could fiqure to generate the sync with a highlight was through setSelection as a loop.
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var my_snap:TextSnapshot = test.getTextSnapshot();
var count:Number = my_snap.getCount()
my_snap.setSelectColor(0xffff00);

Is it not possible to call more than one function at a time?, this is my problem:-
btn.onRelease = function()
{
blah();
something();
jump();
}
When I run something like the one above, jump is executed but everything else is ignored, would really like to run all functions at the same time.

Most flash games and interactive animations that use keyboard events are made to respond in different ways to different keys.I am working on games for toddlers, who basically just bang on the keyboard indiscriminately. The trouble I'm having is setting up keyboard eventlisteners (key_up) that each perform different function.We're talking games like: when key pressed, ducky dances; when key pressed, doggy dances; when key is pressed, ducky and doggy go to sleep. I've attempted removing the listener before adding the next one:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, doSomething);
function doSomething(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
{make it do something;

I'm using the below code to have a button that adds a MC to the stage. The problem is that I have over a dozen of these buttons and I'd rather not have to write out the event listener and function for every single button. Is there a way to use a single function for all the buttons and just change what MC is added based on which button is clicked? So if the user clicks on the draw5 button the function adds the deck5 MC to the stage?[code]

As I've been working with AS I've developed a collection of utility functions. For example:
$ cat utils/curried.as
package utils {
public function curried(f:Function, ...boundArgs):Function {
[Code]....
And I've found that, some times, I want to keep more than one public function in each file... But ActionScript restricts me to one public definition per file, if that file defines its self as being part of a package.
So, without creating a class with static methods, how could I get more than one public function in a single .as file?

I have been trying to figure out this by myself for a while and needless to say, I have been completely unsuccessful. I have various a loop that creates multiple movie clips called: movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4... (you get the idea...) i want to assign roll over,roll out, press functions to all of theme.g. when you press on one movie, it highlights it.but I am trying to find a summarized way over writing each one out:
movie1.onRollOver=function(){
something happens
}
someonne once told me to use chartAt to do this, to reference different mcs, but I cant figure out how to do it.

I�m trying to use Listeners to capture the MouseUp event based on Helen Triolo�s sample at [URL]I reused her code and loaded the listener�s array (with MC names that will listen to the MU event) from a textfile.My problem is that I don�t have these MCs on the _root. They�re located deep in the MC hierarchy, this way: MCComponent-->MC1-->MC2-->MCs I want to address for listening (I have about 250 MCs in this level of depth which I want to to address for listening)So, when defining the MouseUp function for each MC to respond to, I couldn�t address the MCs. I tried in different ways without any result.
This is the code:
// set up responders for each listener
// listeners is the Array with MC names which I loaded from
// the textfile
for (var i in listeners) {
[code].....
Is there any way of making this work? Is there something missing in this code ? Note: I cannot put these MCs on the root because of other functionalities that they need to accomplish...By the way..., what about RollOver and RollOut ? Can they be captured too ? I�ve read about capturing MouseUp, Move and Down but not Rollovers...

For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;
[Code].....
I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.

In C++/Java you can do this to import a library of functions to your current file.
Code:
#include <someFuncitons.h>
Is there a similar command in Actionscript? I want to use some commonly used functions over multiple SWF files and don't want to copy and paste all of them into each file.

I have a rather general question regarding OOP. How do constructor functions execute with multiple class extensions? I'm making an orbital physics simulation, and every spatial body is of the class SpaceObject, which extends Sprite. Then, I have all earth-type planets be of the class Earth, which extends SpaceObject. There are certain parameters that I'd like to set for every single SpaceObject (like position and size) in the constructor function, and certain parameters (like density and mass) that I'd like to set in the constructor of class Earth.But from the main timeline, when I create an instance of class Earth, I can only enter the parameters of the Earth constructor, ie
Code:
var planet1:Earth = new Earth(density, mass)
Or I can create an instance of SpaceObject:
