View 2 RepliesI have placed the code is on frame 3 of the timeline. I tried using trace to see if the bugChange function is executed and it is not. The bugTimer does not start and call the function for some reason. see the code below:

var bugTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
bugTimer:addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, bugChange)

So i have a timer running infinitely time, and there are 2 things that can trigger the timer to stop and be removed, and both scenarios can occur, so I need to check if the timer is on before trying to stop and remove it. How can I check whether a timer exists and/or is running?
View 4 RepliesI am developing a test as part of an e-learning module. The test has a timer on it, basically to dissuade users from looking up the answers online while doing the test.
I just realised however, that the framerate and timer are choked when a browser tab is invisible. In other words, when the user opens a new tab, the timer freezes! How can I get around this? The final product will run on an LMS, so going full-screen is not an option.
I am going to be making a flash intro that involves using the flash transitions to transition between pictures and video content. I'm not looking to use this whole code from the template, I just want to implement the transitions with the timer instead of a keypress event. One like as follows:
stop();
var timer1:Timer = new Timer(200);
timer1.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah1);[code].....

View 2 RepliesI have a timeline with a bunch of frames. At the beginning of my timeline (frame 2) I have actionscript that makes movieclips that are transparent (alpha 0) visible, and also some rollover and link/button code using a tween class. On frame 3 I have other movies that are visible etc. Frame 3 has stop code, and a frame anchor named "page2". For instance for the moviedclip "page_1" I have this code:

I have a simple flash game with two frames at the moment.Most of the stuff that happens is in as files linked to different movie clips.I orignially only had one frame my background frame and when testing I just press ctl+enter and bamm away it goes the actionscript runs as soon as the movie/game starts and ergo the game plays.My problem is this, I now want to have a start/home frame at the beginning (of course) which has the start game button on which when clicked THEN starts the game.Currently the game starts in the first frame along with the start button.How do I stop the game running straight away and my first frame only contains the start button, which when clicked then goes to the 2nd frame and starts the game?

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.
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'm trying to create a function that allows you to have like a custom "delay/timer" for each frame.
View 7 RepliesSo 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?
