have images play automatically when you don't click on PREV or NEXT buttons in a gallery for a certain amount of time.
I've used the TIMER function, but found that, when I click on PREV or NEXT, the timer would be activated again on that picture, which messes up the entire browsing experience.
If you place a for loop in a recursive function with the function call within the loop... will the loop finnish or does it stop working untill the last recursion?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to synchronize external subtitles with my custom video player - Not FLVPlayback.Subtitles are in XML object from 0 - 12.I created a Timer that is checking when the subtitle 0 should be displayed according to playback time.I want to reach that after subtitle 0 disappear the next subtitle 1 will be checked when should be displayed.So all I want is 0 + 1But it is Timer and the result after Subtitle 0 disappear is 0+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 ad infinity And thats too many as I only want once add 1.

I need some help understanding for loop and timers and what I want to do is set the timer so it counts. Every 3 seconds add 1 to the count and then call a function. If the count reaches 3 then reset every thing and start over. But it isn't working the way I want it too.

possible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through. I have a for loop with i++ so that I can put objects on the page with a small pause between them. The i++ loop puts all the movieclips on the page simultaneously. I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.
View 1 RepliesI tried to move 4 movie clips in a loop and with a 3 seconds interval. So first I tried a loop and a timer function inside. I supposed by the loop the timer should start and finish for times. But itdidnt work. So I used another code which is longer and complicated. So it worked. do-while doesn work also with first logic-why?
here are the codes - m s are clips

I have a loop that replays on a random timer.Start of loop frame 1:
function pause(){
play();
clearInterval(timer);}[code]...
on the next scene i just want the frame to stop(); forever but it seems to play after waiting for the above designated timed pause.when i remove the code above, stop(); works fine again. How can i get it to work aside my timed pause? anyway to reset it..ive tryed adding clearInterval(Timer); before the stop on scene 3 and its done nothing
I have problem with moving bitmap array on second timer loop. I think this problem is related to the loop addchild was in, not sure how to solve it. The current code does create 14 images in a strip, the problem was I couldn't move them with another timer or just outside the completeListener function.

import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;

I want to remove an object that is created in a loop, with a timer.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, voegtoe);
In function voegtoe I'm adding an Movieclip Object called man:
man.x=Math.random()*650;
man.y=Math.floor(Math.random()*(70))+350;
addChild(man);
I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.
I want to create an endless loop of images through a timer.On the fla I have an MovieClip �ImageClip� Yousing a timer I will repeat the call to imageArea.addChild() with the next image.My question is am I going to run out of memory as addChild() implies this.I want to replace the image not add more images to a collection.
View 5 RepliesI set up a loop where a movie clip moves in a triangle over and over. It works, but I want it to pause for 5 seconds at each location, so I added a Timer (my first attempt). Now, it will go through the triangle once, pausing correctly, but then the main movie clip (target_mc) stops in the original position and never moves again.

I have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.
View 2 RepliesHow would I go about using a timer to initiate multiple movie clips at once, and then loop them if they are all different lengths so that they restart in sync once more?
For example, say at t=0, 3 movie clips are started. Movie clip 1 is 3 seconds long. Movie clip 2 is 6 seconds long. Movie clip 3 is 10 seconds long. Movie clip 1 would end before movie clip 2 and 3, but I don't want it to restart until the others are both finished.
Furthermore, is it possible to set a countdown so that the the movie clips are initiated not after a duration, but after a specific time? For example, instead of having a timer countdown from 10 seconds and then playing, it instead countdowns until say 12:00 PM and then plays the movie clip.
I have a for() statement performing a loop that attaches a movieclip each time it's executed. The variable "maximumBloodBurst" defines how many times the loop cycles (the amount of movieclips to produce).Here's the script:

var g:Number;

I'm using this timer code for my game.
It should play 10 seconds and then go to the next scene.
PHP Code:
function timer(){
seconds=seconds-1;
if (seconds < 0) {
[Code].....
Well that works, but when I click on the play-again-button in the next scene, it won't play for 10 seconds (but less). I think the timer goes on without stopping. How can I stop the timer function when I move to the next scene?

In my game I've got a scene where you get 3 seconds to click a button otherwise its Game Over, only problem is my code only works if I press the button straight away.

How can I set a timer insides AS3?
I'm making an animation of calculating a projectile motion with air resistance based on Python code from [URL]. I include the relevant portions of codes as follow. I'm not familiar of the vector object in AS3 so I translate them into variables as follow:
Actionscript Code:
//timer related variablesvar
fps:uint = stage.frameRate;var interval:Number = 1/fps;
var myTimerYes:Timer = new Timer(1000/fps);
//air resistance timermyTimerYes.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, startSimYes);
function startSimYes(e:TimerEvent):void{
[Code] .....
The timer activates when the user clicks the start button. The start buttons set the variables for the timer function. The variables are created at the start of the actionscript file. The code of the start button is:
Actionscript Code:
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goTimer);
function goTimer(e:MouseEvent):void{m = int(airText_mc.mass_txt.text);
A = int(airText_mc.refA_txt.text);
Cd = int(airText_mc.Cd_txt.text);
rho = int(airText_mc.density_txt.text);

The result I get is the aX = 0 all the time, even after the update I specified in the timer codes. I can't understand what's wrong with the code, it's supposed to be updating every time the timer goes on.

just wondering is there anyway to have a function that checks if you pressed and held at any point while running the app? Im assuming that you could use the code below. But just not sure how to just target the mouse press function at all times, almost like a keydown function but just for a mouse click.
Code:
_root.onenterFrame = function(){
on(press){ //No clue

I made an app (Towers of Hanoi) and i added a "demo" button that solves the problem based on a recursive function. The button is supposed to make a move one step at the time, i mean one step at every few seconds so you can actually see how the algorithm works. The problem is i haven't really used the timer event before and i have no idea how to implement it in this particular scenario.
