Flex :: Enterframe Event - Using Timer Class For Main Loop
Jan 8, 2011I 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.

Oct 8, 2009I registered because this forum kept on popping up when I asked google my actionscript questions.
I'll just come right out and admit it, I'm a noob. I am making a website with a bunch of buttons on a menu bar. When you mouse over a button, a submenu of other buttons pops out of it. I use this code.
[Code]...
The parent buttons are movie clips, and the sub-buttons are on later frames.My question is this: how can I delay it so that you have to hold the mouse over the button for a second before the button's playhead goes to its next frame?
Ideally, I'd like to have the playhead go to the second frame immediately, to change the color of the button on mouseover, and then have a delay before frame 3, when the sub-buttons start to appear.
AS3 :: Android - Delay Timer Execute And Start Timer?
Nov 29, 2011I 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 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flex An EnterFrame-Timer?
Feb 7, 2010I'm in the final stages of a project, and I am in trouble for not having bigger tests on lower end computers. It's a game, and frame rate may vary for low end computers on certain intensive parts. This creates a de-sync with the Timer class as it counts real seconds, unrelated to the fps.The frame rate is 30. Bugs start to occur on anything <20, specifics don't matter, but I should have expected that. And now I should fix that.
What would you suggest? I could write an enterframe timer class (counts frames, won't go desyncd). This means I'll have many enterframes events (opposing many Timers right now) - is this significant, cpu-wise? How is it in comparison?Btw this occurred to me as I tried the application on my N900, didn't really expect it to run properly but the device's a beast and it did. Everything worked, slowly but worked, except the fact things got out of sync.
ActionScript 3.0 :: An EnterFrame Event And A Timer Conflict?
Apr 15, 2010I have a hitTest on an enterFrame event that adds a movieClip.I then want the movie clip to be on a timer that changes it to another movieClip.As you can imagine, there is a conflict because the hitTest always finds the original Mc an so over-rides the timer.I know this is a logic problem but I cant seem to figure it out.I am pretty sure I am thinking about this the wrong way.here is some of the code:
//this is the hitTest
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,leftPillarHit);
function leftPillarHit(ev:Event):void {

May 8, 2011I'm using greensocks MP3Loader to play IntroMp3. I want to dispatch a custom event when the value of the MP3Loader.soundTime property is 3 (3seconds). I've done it with an enter frame event. the problem is that it dispatches the event more then one time. what is the better way to check that the MP3Loader.soundTime property is == to 3 and dispatch my event only one time?

Flex :: Timer Delay Changer?
Jan 12, 2012var timer:Timer = new Timer(x);
basically x is an array...
when timer.start() is invoked
it runs, the first count is 1000 ms, then the second 800 ms, and the third 6200 ms and so on. In other words, it's a dynamic change in the delay and not a continuous delay of x ms.

I have a simple Regular Flash slide show with 4 slides and an intro label. I need my Intro label to have a Timer or Delay event that holds on the "Intro" Label for a certain amount of time before the Timer expires and calls a function that tells FLASH to go on to slide "Slide 1" label.
The trick is i need this delay to run everytime the Timeline is at the "Intro" label as i have an animation playing while the timer or delay event counts down and finally at end goes to label "Slide 1" Can anyone share some simple code snipets that would point me in the right direction to accomplish this using AS3 ?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Check If An Animation Of A Movieclip Is Finished (no Tween Handler)?
Feb 4, 2007I'm having some difficulties on checking when an animation in a movieclip is finished. It's not a tween, otherwise I could make a tween handler with the "onMotionFinished"-property. My situation is different.My movieclip has 60 frames with each frame containing a 3D image. These 60 frames make the impression that a die is rotated in 3D.How do I check in the actions of my scene (root) when the animation is finished?
I already tried making an interval that constantly polls if a variable "finished" is set to true (which the movieclip sets to true on its last frame).This solution isn't really accurate enough due to the interval number.Setting the interval to 1 millisecond won't do any good either.Is there a listener object or something else that makes this possible?On my last frame of the movieclip is a stop() statement which might be polled by a listener?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Bugg - Delay Animations And Stuff?
Feb 13, 2009Ive noticed that i need a function that delays a callback. I use this quite often to delay animations and stuff. well anyhow. Before i just used Tweener to do this.Tweener.addTween(this, {time: 2, onComplete: callback}); This works fine but i belive that I get a small memory leak from this. So i made this static function. I think it look quite nice. But it only works sometimes.
[Code]....
If you try it with a loop of, say 10 so it will callback every one second for 10 seconds, its often it will skip a few. Have anyone noticed any problems with timer before or something similar. Or if you have a nice delay function you wanna share.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Simple Timer - Delay For 20 Seconds (IF Statement)
Apr 19, 2004I'm building a continous move in flash, and I'm displaying some text and images and want to hold the timeline for about 20 seconds and then resume play again. I'm trying to write a simple timer in AS to keep from having to create 10000 frame long movie clips. Here's what I have so far:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame {
time = getTimer();
if (time == 20) {
play();
}}
Unfortunately, this isn't working for me, and 'm unsure why. I suspect two things,
A: my "time" var takes only a snapshot value of the timer and not a continuous value, so the timer never reaches the value of 20. Or,
B: I have somesort of syntax wrong and the if never gets a chance to load.
