ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get Timer To Create Pause

Mar 30, 2011

I know you can trigger a function by adding through a timer like this i ActionScript3:
Code:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerDone);

But what I'm trying to do is just have a timer create a delay in between a couple of statements within the same function. Is that possible? Something very simple would do, like

public function changeVar():void {
myVar = "red"
xxxTIMER CODE HERE
myVar = "blue"
}

How do I leave myVar equal to red for 5 seconds and then have it change to blue?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A 'set Minute' Countdown Timer?

Jan 27, 2008

I was thinking about indenting a countdown timer in my new room escape game, and I would like to know how to create a countdown timer with a set time field in minutes, rather than the other that goes by retrieving a date first. E.g. I would like to create one that counts down from 20 minutes, rather than one that gets the time and minute and date, and shows the correct time fields.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Create A Simple Timer For A Car Game?

Aug 25, 2009

I just want to create a simple timer for a car game which notes the lap time each time you cross the finish line. I then want to be able to use the "gotoAndPlay (frame number)" once either a certain amount of laps have been completed or when the timer hits a specified number.I have exhausted tutorials, none of which actually work - what im looking for is 'i think' actually quite simple but i am having great difficulty.... The car game tutorial with 4 parts which seems to pop up everywhere does not help as it is very complex and can only be used when the game is designed in the way that the guys has made it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Timer That Keeps Counting Up Then Stops?

Jun 26, 2009

So I know this has to have something to do with the timer class. But I'm not sure how to implement it.So currently I am making a DDR-type game. First, a function generates a random arrow for you to press, and another function checks with keypresses to make sure you have the correct arrow pressed.

I want to create a function that runs when the arrow is first shown- through the function that generates the random arrow. Then, I want the timer to run (1,2,3 seconds, keeps counting up) until I press the correct key. Then, the function would STOP, and possibly run again.how to create a timer that keeps counting up then stops, and it shows the time it took to press the key?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Countdown Timer To A Specific Date?

Jul 24, 2010

What I'd like to do is create a countdown timer to a specific date, but from all the tutorials I've read, I can't seem to find one that will include milliseconds; only a Day:hour:min:sec format.What I'd like is an Hour:min:sec:milliseconds format (the milliseconds whilst considerably pointless, is an aesthetic choice - I'm hoping the frantically changing numbers will display a sense of urgency).I'm using Flash CS4, and the following Actionscript so far:

Actionscript Code:

var endDate:Date = new Date(2012,9,6);var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);countdownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateTime);countdownTimer.start();function updateTime(e:TimerEvent):void{  var now:Date = new Date(); var timeLeft:Number = endDate.getTime() - now.getTime();  var seconds:Number = Math.floor(timeLeft / 1000);  var minutes:Number = Math.floor(seconds /

Nov 6, 2008

coding, create a *******' timer to the exact time. I found billionsof tutorials to countdown to a day, but NOBODY can provide a sampleto countdown to a date and time (i.e. Dec. 25 @ 8PM).I need this to countdown to a TV show's premier. And I'm adesigner not a coder... so there has to be a FLA file out therethat I could snag and just update the graphics and plug in a timeand date, and then it counts down once I make a SWF?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Counter With Timer And Dynamic Text Field?

Jul 30, 2010

I'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments 3 times a second, starting from a specified value (so viewer would see 3.1, then 3.2...etc.)
 
Here's the code so far:

var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0

What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.

at the tail end of my Flash cs4, actionscript 3.0 college project and want to incorporate a countdown Timer Event when there is a 3 minute delay of usage in the flash movie (interactive).Below is what I understand and want to accomplish.Is it correct to place the actionscript code in the actions layer of the 1st frame within the 1st scene?And will it be recognized throughout all the scenes within the flash movie?1.

Flash - Timer Object With TimerEvent.TIMER Event Globally Accessible To All Objects?

Feb 16, 2012

I am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.

What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:

public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Difference Between Timer.stop() And Timer.reset()?

Aug 27, 2008

What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
