ActionScript 3.0 :: Put A Timer On A Frame | Interval?
Oct 17, 2009
This is literally a little script that I have found on the Internet:
this.stop(); //zodat de stage op frame 1 blijft var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000,1);//een timer aanmaken die 1x afgaat na 30 seconden timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler); //luisteren wanneer de timer afgaat timer.start(); //de timer starten
I want to start a timer 2 seconds after i start the game and listen every 500 milliseconds. how can i achieve this? i know the second part but i do i go about the first part? sry for such a basic question, but i am a newb.
We have a flash game being developed in actionscript 3 and it runs much more slowly on our remote server.The game specs:-8 different movie clips, all 1 frame static png files from 10x10 to 100x100anywhere from 10 to 60 instancesof those MCs on screen at any given timeevent loop is run from a flash Timer at 25msall interaction is via the keyboardThe strange thing is, we publish the swf file and run it locally and everything is fast.We copy the swf to a remote server and everything runs much more slowly. The music plays at normal speed, but the movieclips all move around the screen at about half speed.
Why would the file run differently when fetched from a remote server? Isn't the swf always being run locally anyway? Also, we ran it locally and remotely with the task manager running and it does not seem to consume much CPU or memory.EDIT: Ok, this is really weird. I added a framecounter textfield to the game. It reports the number of ms since the last timer tick. It consistently reports 50ms. My timer is clearly set to 25. This explains the half speed, but what explains this? I also added a check on the timer.Interval property to see if it had changed and it hasn't; it's still set to 25 while the game is running.ode to use ENTER_FRAME instead of timer, and it works. I get the full 40fps, give or take a few %. Still not sure what's wrong with the timer though; if it was being delayed by the time spent in my loop it would fluctuate, but it doesn't. It's 50ms every time no matter how much is going on.Here's the code I'm using(more or less):
t = new Timer(25); t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerTick); t.start();
I would like to load a movie .swf by clicking a button located in scene 1 so i use [code]Then I want once this loaded movie in scene 1 is finished to play to automatically switch to scene 2. and do the same again.Do i need to use a timer or time interval to operate the automatic switch? if yes how can i do that? or is there something simpler, I use flash MX.
I am trying to clear an interval (for sound repeat) after my animation on a particular frame ends; but I only understand how to do it with x, y movement.
Also my gotoAndPlay interval repeats unexpectedly because of this problem.
ActionScript Code: //Opening Sounds sharkSound = new Sound(this); sharkSound.attachSound("shark_sound");
ive set up a timer on a frame that will countdown and then go onto the next frame.
it seems to work but im getting this message in the output section;
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at sub1/Atime() at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch() at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
this is my code,
var mycount:Number = 3; var mytwo_Timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,count); mytwo_Timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, Atime);
I making a game in flash and I have a timer counting down 30 seconds and when the timer runs out I want it to go to a different fame! I've no idea how to do this.. the timer is working at counting down 30 secs .
I have put this code on the frames where each timer you have 30 sec to drag something and put it into a specific place. If you don't then I bring the user back to the starting frame. The issue that I noticed is that even if I cleared it and put a stop(); code it brings me back to the beginning of the game even if I did it ask it to do it! .
On each frame I put this Code: stop(); tm = 30; displayTime.text = tm; countDown = function () { tm--; displayTime.text = tm; [Code] ..... Aand it works even on frames that don't have this code on it, why ? I put this clearInterval(countDown); all the time. but didn't work.

So I've about hundred of map tiles and each title has some object which does some stuff. And one of things it should do is to update text (a time after which you need to do something) in text field. How should i do it better - with enter frame event and on each enter frame update it or set up a timer object which on each second would update the text in text field?
I was messing around and testing some code for a timer. I found an example when I was surfing the net and decided to use the example I found. The timer works great but for some reason it wont go to the next frame when the timer counts down to 0 (defined in the if method at the bottom of the code). Also the code doesn't give any errors either
ActionScript Code: stop(); var uselessMovieclip:UselessMovieclip = new UselessMovieclip();
I just spent an hour searching for a TIMER that allows a movie to stay in a specific frame for maybe 6 seconds then automatically goes to the next. I've seen some but they are way off my actionscript capability.
I just need something simple,
enterFrame (pause for 6 seconds) then (gotoNextFrame)
how I could go about pausing this timer on rollover of an object, stage... anything? I am just cycling images on the main timeline via this timer but would like the timer to pause if a user has mouse over one of the images.
could someone tell me how to create a timer event that will countdown and then go to the next frame. I had an earlier post about the topic but I am completley lost now.
In my .fla file, I have a text box instantiated as _text. The following code works good: my timer comes up and counts off.I need to write a code into the first frame of my completion screen to stop the timer. What would that code be? and what do I need to add to the Main.as code below?At the end of my Main.as file, I have this code[code]
I want to create a dynamic text box. set a (start) and (stop) time. have the time change along with each frame. its a blank movie with 150 frames. this is in frame 1.
I have a project which consists of 4 frames (+ one starting frame), where each frame contains a Timer class based-animation. You can visit each frame by selecting the appropriate button.
Let's say the animation in frame1 lasts for a total of 30 seconds, but I'm too impatient to watch it and decide to go frame2, which also I don't like. In the background however, the animation for frame1 is still running, for when I go to frame 2 and go back to frame1, the animation starts both from the beginning and also continues to play from where I left off.
I also get an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is. at fl.transitions::TransitionManager/saveContentAppearance() at fl.transitions::TransitionManager/set content() at fl.transitions::TransitionManager()
In a game I'm creating, the only last part I have left is to create a timer. Or a countdown to be precise. But I get thrown an error when I go to the next frame when the timer is finished.
[Code]...
There must be a way that works so that flash will "gotoAndStop(2);" after 3 minutes?
ive done a little media player for my mates website.means i didnt understand the xml and loading audio that way i decided to try another way,which was to load external .swf which contained audio.so ive done this everything working.the problem is i tried to add a timer, so that when the 30 sec sample was done it would go to the next frame which loads a different track.i found a piece of timer code which is
If i would like the timer to stop on a specific frame and show the time result how do I do that?With some kind of if-else statement, or some kind of function.stop.
I've never been very good at writing AS3 classes as I rarely use them, but I needed a frame-based timer class so I decided to write my own. However, I don't know how to do everything in it that I want to, so could someone help me fill in the blanks and polish the rest?
