I looked at the Timer function but I guess I am not using it right. I have something like this:
var mytimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);
addChild(blah);
mytimer.Start();
addChild(blah2);
I was hoping I'd see a 1 second delay between the first and 2nd movieclips being added, but I'm not. How do I insert a delay between actions?
I need a second or less in between 2 consecutive actions. I need a function.. like delayfor(seconds) which I have to insert between 2 actions. I tried something with getTimer.. but the computer then works slow because it checks the time very often.
This is my buttons code:
on(release) {
for (p=0;p<10;p++) {
// I need here a second to stop/pause/delay/to do nothing but wait (*)
line.lineTo(.......);
}}
So I need a second delay between every action in that "for".
how to add a delay to the attack button of the character. Right now you are able to leave the button pressed and the character stays on the attacking animation and you can simply do that to destroy everything, so at least having to press again to make the attack animation happen again would also be perfect.

View 6 RepliesI want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 100 * _parent._totalframes);
if (framePos < 0) {

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.
1. Can i put another set of actions in frame 2 of the actions layer?i tested but it doesn't seem to work..it has 836 rows of code and it's getting annoying when tryin to search for a function..
2. I am not that familiar with classes, i usually put all the code into movieclips or in actions layer.. i am not sure if i can call a function from a actionscript class..
3.I am curios if there is any way i could specify an alternative for the if statement like in this pseudocode:
if ( apple is not clean BUT is tasty)
{
eat(apple)
}
Its been a while since my last post and i apologise if this has come up before, but what im basically trying to do is insert (not load) a swf into my main fla file. I have my home page (index.fla) and i've downloaded this cool image viewer or slideshow, and i want to insert that into my index.fla file. What I've tried so far. I've inserted a movie clip and named it imageViewer, I then imported (to stage) viewer.swf. This does not work. Something that looks nothing like the image viewer briefly pops up when i run index.fla.

View 9 RepliesI've finished my flash file. I created it with Flash CS3. I didn't use any scripting, dynamic stuff, etc.. It's a simple flash movie of vectors/tweening.I want to insert it in my homepage, but when I publish it, I get quite a lot of code. I've been looking around & I see some sites that have all this javascript & some that don't.Could someone help me identify the correct way to embed my .swf file? I'm not a fan of .js since it doesn't work if it's turned off in a user's browser. I want my .swf file to play as long as the visitor has Flash 8 or higher installed. And if they don't, I want to display a .png instead.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am trying to insert an xml swf portfolio into my main fla file... could some kind person talk me through it?
I have tried inserting into the stage, and inserting into a movie container but no luck.
I use a handful of shortcuts daily while developing in Flash on OSX. The shortcuts I use the most are when I'm working on the timeline with key frames. F5, f6, F7 etc. However, I cannot use the F6 key to insert keyframes. It's not an option as a shortcut in the drop down and the option to change or assign it is grayed out in the Keyboard Preferences menu.My first thought is that I have another program running or setting in OSX that's blocking that ability or overriding it. I have tried reinstalling CS4 entirely with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to track down the problem? It's a huge time killer when doing animation.
