Im a complete noob to flash cs5 and i was wanting to make a small animation. For this i need a delay between each frame. I tried using the prebuilt actionscript code since my for loop delays were horrible. But i keep getting this compiler error:
Code:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 2, Line 91120: Access of undefined property f1_SecondsElapsed.
[code].....
I'm using the following method to dispatch a sound in X times/minute (X is determined through bpm, which is a NumericStepper object)
var mainTimer:Timer = new Timer(60 / (bpm.value * 1000),0);
mainTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_TimerHandler,false, 0, true);
mainTimer.start();

I'm trying to make a countdown timer, but I haven't really learnt all about actionscript. (not yet anyway), but I need a timer that can count down the hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds from a given time to an other.
I need the start timer to say:
01:31:53:70 (hour:minutes:seconds:milliseconds) and then it should count down so the timer stops at:
01:30:00:00

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make a countdown timer with milliseconds. I'm using this site w w w .emanueleferonato. com/2007/02/19/flash-simple-timercountdown/ for the code and it works fine (except I don't know how to make it stop at 0). Now I'm trying to add more items, such as music and a changeable background, to the countdown page and end up with errors.
Is there somehow I can add new frames to the background layer without the song playing over each other when I preview it? Also how can I make a button appear after it has hit 0 so I can click on it and lets me leave the countdown page?
gotta clock that goes from 60seconds-0secondsthats the code it works finebut i cant find out how to make it go to the next scene when it hits zero i tried code 2 but it doesnt work
//CODE1
counter = 60;
setInterval(countDown, 1000);

How do you create a countdown timer on an animated game, so that when the time gets to 0 and depending on your score it ttakes you to a losing page or a winning page.[code]...
The other two frames are called gameWin and gameLose, so depending on the score within the 60 second countdown, how would i make it go to there frames and how would i make the time show up on the page.
I recently just made a flash banner where you can click buttons to change frames. I also want to add the ability for it to automatically change frames after 7 seconds. I've put all of the pictures on the same frame and gave them frame labels. What would be the actionscript code I should use to make this work, along with making the buttons still functional? Also, how can I put buttons to go to the last frame from the first, and first to the last, while still making them stop at every frame? I keep trying and nothing's working.

I need to make a scoreboard/timer that would show on a projector so that everyone can see the current points and the 8 second timer, all this controlled for a non-flash-user, considering someone else will have to do it cause I'm IN the gameshow, so it has to be easily-changable.

I'm trying to make a timer..
When I press a button a movieclip does this: gotoAndStop(2);
I want it to go back to Keyframe 1 after 10 seconds.
How can I get this to work?
If I understand this correctly, most timer examples I've seen in AS3 are limited by a certain number of occurrences. Such as:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 2);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah);
timer.start();
[Code]....
Where it would fire twice (again, if I interpreted this correctly)
So if what I assumed is true, is there a way to make a timer where it would continuously keep track of time?
I need to make a countdown timer that starts at 1 minute, in this format 00:01:00.0.I found some code online that achieved this, but its in AS1. I've found some other examples/walkthoughs, but they are really basic and have no milliseconds.
View 2 RepliesI have the idea of scripting animations, placing them inside a function, so then I can recall them whenever I want:
Code:
function eyesleft(){
eyes._x=0
eyes._x=-100
}
one question is I need some kind of delay timer to make the animation smooth, otherwise the animations would be all jumpy. Set interval seems a bit jumpy.

View 4 RepliesI'm looking for will all happen in about two or three seconds. I'm re-building my own website using AS3 package classes. When the API loads I want everything to appear in sequence from invisible to visible. First the logo, a few lines drawing themselves, then all the navigation buttons at the top appearing in a quick-fire horizontal row, then the content rolls in, etc. I want strict, accurate control over about two or three seconds, of how and when everything on stage goes from invisible to visible in a quick-fire sequence. I know it can all be done with several timers for each alpha going from 0 to 1. But can all the variables going from alpha 0 to 1 be bundled into an Array? And the Array fired by ONLY ONE Timer using a For Loop? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? Should I just use a bunch of Timers? I want to avoid a Tween because I want very accurate control of the quick-fire invisible to visible effect. And I want it to be easy to change later. Can this effect be done by ONLY ONE Timer rather than several Timers? And if it can, how do I make the timer fire all variables in strict sequence? Do I use an Array with a For Loop? Or something else? I've been looking for a couple of days but still haven't found anything close.

View 1 RepliesI 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;
[code]....
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.
View 1 RepliesI have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
View 1 RepliesIn my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.
