when I'm leaving (mouseOut) an object, I would still like to perform my enterframe to decrease a value, for lets say 2 seconds and then stop. I dont quite understand how to do that with Timer events,
View 1 RepliesI was just wondering whether it was possible to perform a function after a period of time.like +2 to hp every 6 seconds.
View 2 Repliesquick zooming question here. I have this AS so far :
Code:
//1
function zoom() {
[code].....
I have this AS so far :
Code:
//1
function zoom() {
square._width += speed;
square._height += speed;
} var speed = 2, id, interval = 100;
[Code] ....
What this does: when the mouse is passed over the movie clip "square", it begins to zoom, or enlarge. What i need to do is have the AS function perfectly on frame 1, then on frame 15 the script does not function at all, and the movieclip returns back to it's original size. (or after 15 seconds, whichever is more flexible).
I have a simple app that stops on frame 1. There's a button that after clicking moves me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have another button to which I would like to add an eventhandler similar to the one for the first button - I am however unable to, as I get the following error :
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I tried to add the eventhandler after a certain period of time (with the use of a timer) and that works, but seems a totally dumb workaround - and the error obviously pops up because the code that tries to add the eventhandler launches before the second button is actually created. How should I solve such a scenario ? I tried to fiddle with other events like Event.ADDED and Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE but the first one seems sort of wild - it goes off every time I even wave my mouse cursor over the first button (why ?) and the second one doesn't go off at all when my app moves to frame 2 - shouldn't it trigger ?
I have an item that I want to appear on stage (see code below); but only for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds I want the object to disappear. I know that I can use removeChild to remove the object, but I don't know how to keep the object on the stage for a specific amount of time.
Here's the code:
stop();
//Add a movie clip to stage
var sample_mc:LibrarySymbol = new LibrarySymbol();

How do I rotate a movieclip 360 degrees over a period of time? Can I use "new tween" ? I am trying to rotate the movieclip while it is moving from position y to y+50 (this is done using new tween)
View 1 RepliesIm trying to have a small sized flv video that plays on top of another flv, the top one fades out. It technically works, but it randomly sometimes doesnt fully fade out. It would stop half way fading or just about gone but not quite or doesnt do it all.
75% of the time it works.Im wondering if flash balks at ram/processor usage and just quits fading, but cpu is only at 16 when it fades. Or if the tween class is buggy.

I originally had a timing code in there so it would fade out after a period of time, Ive removed it for simplicity. It still doesnt fade properly.
Any script in actionscript 2 that fades the sound level of a specific audio file over a specified period of time to a specified level? E.g.:

I have this MouseEvent function that I have totally no idea why it fired twice. Is there a way I can disable the function in a period of time? I tried disabling the button, but seems like it directly called the function and does not trigger from the button.
Addition info:When I add in more object to the array, the function fired more time
The Class the handles the button

Basically im making a completely flash/as3 website.I have a transition effect which lasts 2 second which is triggered every time some buttons are clicked.
My problem... The transition effect includes variables for x,y, size etc etc and if the button is clicked again inside these 2 seconds these values have not reset to their starting values and the effect gets screwed up.
I know it is unlikely that a user will click another page within the 2 second bracket, but they may double click the button by accident or decide quickly they want another section (and be a fast clicker ) etc.Is there anyway to 'lock' these variables until my effect has completed ?
I'm dynamically creating in loop 10 movie clips (circles). I want to remove them in different period of time one after another.

2. after next 2s remove third circle

Is there a way to loop one frame after a certain period of time. I have only one frame in the timeline, and about 10 layers with a single frame containing a container to load external mcs. These frames are all lined up in one row and the mcs play after a certain number of seconds. The last layer containing my last mc that plays fades out to black and then nothing plays again but id like to have it so that all the mcs play again like the first time, like a loop.

I am working on an animated web banner. The specifications say that the animation must stop after 30 seconds but can resume on a mouse rollover. My animation is just a looping rotating circle created on the timeline. How can I get this looping animation to stop after 30 seconds?

I am developing a video player for FMS 3.0 and my client complains that when he leaves the player running overnight or after computer goes to sleep when he comes back the elapsed time displayed as NaN and when he tries to play, nothing happens. Why is this happening? Does it mean that the connection with the FMS dropped and I have to reconnect? How can test for the dropped connection?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a progress bar that moves from 0 to 100 over a specific period of time. This time will be dynamic. It might be 10 seconds and it might be 13.2 seconds or whatever. The overall width of the progress bar will never change but the amount of time it takes to go from 0 to 100 will.
View 3 Repliescan someone give me an idea how I would use a function to enlarge and change the alpha of a button but make it span over a period of time like it was an animation.a long time ago on gear78.com I think he used functions to make his buttons do what they did and it was badass. if I find another site I will post a link. if you don't know what the heck I am talking about tell me and I will try and explain it more.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently working on a JibJab style project where a third party agency have done an animation. Now we have tracked the head motions in AE CS4 and done an export to Flash using XFL, and the motion does not work.
Before this we have done several tests to see if this method would work, so we know it actually does work, but the tests where only a couple of 100 frames long, now the project is over 1500 frames.
The final animation is 60 sec, 25f/s, and after importing the motion into FLASH using XFL nothing happens. The motion is there if we look in the motion editor, the image is there, but nothing happens when i scrub back and forth. This all worked like a charm with the test projects. AND if i try and rightclick the picture or motion editor FLASH freezes, so i know something is REALLY wrong here.
After four hours of bug hunting i have isolated the problem to the number of frames you try to import into FLASH. If the end sequence is more than 1000 frames (exactly!) a extra keyframe is added on the first frame in the motion editor, so there is TWO keyframes on the first frame, where there should only be possible to have one. This happens only if the sequence is more then 1000 frames. If i take the same sequence and export if from AE so its less then 1000 frames everything is fine.
I have attached a screenshot of the extra keyframe that apears in the motion editor. It's allso noteworthy that this extra keyframe can't be changed or adjusted as it does not actualy "excist".
I would like to have this bug confirmed by someone and if someone has a solution? Right now im looking at cutting up the export into "999 frames" sections and then patch it together again in Flash.
In a change of statements, i have if, else if, and else. Can I add a fourth condition? if so how?

View 2 RepliesLimited FullScreen keyboard access Everyone is talking about the new Flash Player 10 features that you can have limited keyboard access while you are in fullscreen. But nobody publish the code for this. I'm using the regular onKeyDown function in AS2 and this is not working. Does someone know if we can have this limited keyboard access in AS2?
This is my code (that work in normal state but not in fullscreen mode):

Adobe Flash Player 10 Whether or not you want to make a game or a video player with keyboard shortcuts, the restriction of keyboard support in fullScreen has been an annoyance to a lot of developers. The restriction was placed there because of heightened possibilities of malicious attacks while in fullScreen mode such as password phishing.In Flash Player 10 we are easing this restriction to allow non-printing keys to be used while in fullScreen. Non-printing keys are arrows, space, shift, tab and similar keys that can�t be used to provide private information. These keys are very important however to let users do many types of selection and gameplay inputs.
