ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer - MovieClips To Appear 4 Times Randomly
Jan 22, 2010
I have an mp3 playing. What I would like is to have a movieclip that is located in the library appear, complete it's animation then get removed. The movie clip must complete this proccess 4 times, randomly during the length of the song but never at the same time and not in the last 5 seconds of the song. BTW I can't do this manually by just firing it off a random amount of times because this code will be used with lots of different mp3's, so I need to use the dynamic data I get by retrieving the song length. I have the code working to retrieve the length of the song, and I have a variable that stores the length minus 5 seconds from the end, so I basically have the length of time I wish to work with.
My problem is making the movie clips appear 4 times randomly throughout that length of time. The code is below (what I have so far), the movieclip is stored in the library as circle_mc. The timer I'm using at the beginning of the code (to retrieve the length of the song) is set to run after 2 seconds this is because there is a delay in the music starting and if it did it instantly the number retrieved obviously would be 0, so I delay it by 2 secs till I know the song is playing. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to fire twice, at the moment it fires once or not at all.
Code:
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

I need to know how many times a timer has counted, so that I can fire functions at certain times. Meaning, if the timer is equal to 100 Seconds then do something. Here is my code, I'm not sure how I would change it...
ActionScript Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 0);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeCount);
[Code].....
Also, is there a way I can use setMemory and getMemory to save whatever the timer is at, so that if someone closes the game, and comes back then it is still at whatever time they left it as? I couldn't find 'em on the AS3 docs.

how on earth do you get a timer to fire randomly? I've had little practice with timers but thought this would be a simply task to complete but cant figure out?
i've got a movieclip which"pulses" using the EnterFrame event, but would also like something else happen to this clip atrandom intervals using a timer. i've tried "timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 1000); but nothing - it just fires for the first time at a random time, then at set intervals after that....
how do you get it to randomly dispatch?

I'm trying to display a grid of xml images at random times, blinking. I'm trying to use a Timer, but cant get it to work on all images. I've tried putting my loaders in loop and push into array but still only one image is blinking.

I have a game that I need to have a character randomly move into positions after an alloted time. I wrote some code that works perfect for my external movies to come in, but I can't figure out how I would make this code work for one movieclip playing random sequences.[code]

I have created a MovieClip named "Target" and called it from actionscript. Inside this movie clip I have created an 'action' layer and written the code in it[code]...
Now I can get 10 animating circles in different places of the stage after every second. And every circles will leave the stage after completing the animation. Though I have given 'pink' color in that circle, that's why its generating with 'pink' color always. How do I change the color of each circle while it will generate?

Flash CS3, actionscript 2.0. I have a timeline animation that I am trying to convert to actionscript. Basically there are 8 movieclips that I have added to the timeline that fade in at different times. I have the code for each of the tweens figured out
(var laugh:Tween = new Tween(laugh_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 17, false)
But I need one to start one, then when its finished, go to the next one without using go to and play.

I'm trying to fade in and out some movie clips using the Tween class, but am having problems. I have the following code which fades in my movie clips:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// Fade in and out
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(wds_mt, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 100, false);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(wds_sf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 150, false);
var myTween3:Tween = new Tween(wds_hush, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 120, false);
var myTween4:Tween = new Tween(wds_10, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 300, false);
var myTween5:Tween = new Tween(wds_uf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 210, false);
However, I need to fade them out and then loop the fade in-out animation forever.

I had an idea I would like to incorporate into my site, and sure that Flash can accomodate, but what better place to check!? Say I have a mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4, and mc_5 all are basically the same information, just varied lead in animations. Is there a code that I can call to randomly choose among those when the site is loaded? Pretty vague I know, but right now I am adding them via "addChild," so would there be something I could use to accomplish this?

I have a slider on my stage that returns a number between 0 - 300 depending on where the user moves the slide.What I would like to do is add and remove movieclips as the user slides the slider so that the number of movieclips on the stage is proportional to the slider's value.An example: If the slider value is 300, I want 300 circles on the stage. As the slider moves down to zero, the number of circles on the stage decrease.I've been trying to think of the best way to do this. Should I use addChild and removeChild? Or just change the visibility?And what would be the best way to refer to each movieclip? Should I use an array? Or maybe an if/else statement?

I'm working with a randomly moving MC, and now it looks good except the collisions with the level. When it hits the level it gonna rotate and go another way. I don't want it go through the walls.
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
xx = -(Math.cos(this.ro._rotation*(Math.PI/180)))*speed;
yy = -(Math.sin(this.ro._rotation*(Math.PI/180)))*speed;
this.ro._rotation = random(360); radie = 9;

I posted this in the Flash 8 forum, but wonder if I'll have better luck in here. I need to get movie clips to play randomly. Currently, I have actionscript on Frame 1, and a movie clips on the stage in Frame 2. Also in each movie clip as the last frame I have "PlayMC();".[code]

I have a question about movie clips. I have about 20 MC-s in my flash. Is it possible for me to duplicate one of them multiple times in specific location? I mean if I have button that says "DOG" and I press it, then new dog appears on screen. And I need to do it for like ten times or so

I am generating movieClips outside of the stage I want to send them randomly into the stage in enter frame. Currently it looks like this, so they go like in all directions... How could I direct each of them randomly into the stage?
Code:
function timerEvent(e:TimerEvent):void {
var newObj:MyObj=new MyObj();
//this places them randomly outside of the stage

I can place the movieclips randomly on the stage but I am trying to randomly populate shapes with movieclips.
Code:
ball_mc.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
I tried just replacing stage.stageWidth with box_mc.width but that didnt work. Also, I wanted to create more complicated shapes for their bounding area then just a movieclip's rectangle.

I want to randomly load 3 animations in a topbanner on my website. The 3 animations are placed inside their own movieclip and loaded to the stage by using "attachMovie". This works fine. But when a movieclip is loaded to the stage and the animation inside of it is finished playing how do i attach or load another movieclip randomly to the stage?

I want the final result to be a stage with a certain number of circle MC's moving around. I have made the circle MC, and added the AS so that it will start at a random point with a random color, then start moving around randomly. I want to make it so that In the beginning the document will duplicate the movie clip x amount of times, using a for loop. I want to then have all the new circles move around, and when two circles hit each other, they will dissappear, using the removeclip function. You can only use this on duplicated movieclips though, so how would i make all the circles duplicated? Is there a way to duplicate the original movieclip x amount of times then delete it? Or is there a way to remove the original after it is in a collision? Also I don't know how to do the collision detection. I am thinking of using a hittest, but would I just do it with a for loop? Is there a way so that if an MC hits any other MC?

I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.

I need to make a little animation in Flash.So I would like to make few Swf's succeed. I found, as a start, this little piece of code in the Flashkit board. (URL...)[code]This code is ok to call many Swf's, but not to place them at a special timing. I would like to have a Timing control on them, like:Mc01.swf plays X sec, then stop. Then Mc02.swf plays X sec, then stop. Then Mc03.swf plays X sec, etc.

What is the best way to have a timer on individual movieclips?At the moment I have 3 movieclips and when they hit a hitTest I need a 3 second counter to count down. I was using set interval but I need it so that if the user clicks the movieclip before the 3 seconds it clears the timer![code]

I'm quite new to Flash, so hopefully this isn't a stupid question. I just saw the Senocular's tutorial here about making a date countdown timer with MovieClips.
I need a countdown timer with MovieClips for a project, but it has to be in ActionScript3 in a class. I have 1 week trying this.[code]....

I'm trying to set up a timer with custom graphics (MovieClips) and I've basically got it to work, but it's acting really strange! I have two MC's on stage, named "secs_0" & "secs_1". They're both instances of another MC ("numbers"), which contain 10 frames with one digit on every frame (0 - 9). The weird thing is that the counter starts from 87! When the actual value of maxTime is 97... Also, when it reaches 80, 70 etc... it pauses and starts again at 78, 68... Here's the code

I've been coding actionscript poorly for about 5 years now. I'm actually pretty proficient at sloppy code. Well, now with the advent of AS3, I have to get everything right. So now it's all from scratch.
I have Lee Brimelow's example of the Timer class:
Code: Select all// We need to import the utils package
import flash.utils.*;
// Create a new Timer object with a delay of 500 ms
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(500);
[Code]....
However, I have no idea how to connect this to a movieclip without re-building the thing over and over again with a new instance name inside the function. This is horribly redundant, something I got used to using setInterval, and I want to break that habit.
