ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Not Looping Forever?
Oct 27, 2009
I'm using a Timer object to move some clouds across the top of a site I'm developing, and I'd like it to loop forever. Unfortunately, I'm getting pretty intermittent behavior. Sometimes the timer stops after a few seconds, whilte other times it keeps looping like it should. It seems to work best in IE 6, some of the time in FF 3.5, and almost never in Google Chrome.I'm doing the timer based on the positions of the clouds. I have two sets of clouds, and here's the related code:
Code:
var globalTweenCloudA:Tween;
var globalTweenCloudB:Tween;
var cloudTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 0);

how to put the timer while other layer is looping. we got bouncing balls so we need to "gotoAndPlay()" to play the frames again to make it looks like bouncing. the problem is also the time is looping back.

HI've created a loader/container that houses 5 banner SWFs. The first banner loads as a default and using preview thumbnails which appear after hoving over the lower section of the container, you can jump to the banner of your choosing. ie. after banner 1 loads you hover over the bottom of the container, 5 previews appear, you click on let's say the second preview and the container unloads banner 1 and then loads banner 2 etc. See link below for the banner I created.The container is empty and loads the banner SWFs from an external server to save file size.My issue is I would like, for the banners to automatically loop 1-5 until you choose a preview which pauses the looping. To see the rest of the banners you would either continue clicking on the previews or press play.
Code attached for the container FLA file.
container codeimport com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

Just starting out with Flash and have run into a problem. I have several scenes with buttons that can be pressed once and then they disappear using: myBtn1.onRelease = function(){ this._visible=false} But when I go back to the scene the buttons reappear. How can I make my buttons be gone forever?

I have few movieclip play one after another. For each movieclip, i put the streaming sound inside, and there is a button to turn off sound. I created this coding to turn off the streaming sound and it worked well.
SoundMixer.stopAll(); But, the problem is the new streaming sound will play again when it hit the frame that contain new streaming sound. How to overcome this problem? IS using EnterFrame event the only way to turn off the streaming sound forever??

I've added a _root....flvplayback.load("whatever video I want to load.flv"); to different buttons so that I can dynamically load different videos into a single flv player.Thing is, it works intermittently, and most of the time, after having loaded one video via this method, the next video will load a preview Image but will just load forever, and then I can't play any other videos until I restart the swf.

I'm having a brutal time with a FLA. The wait time to open this thing is ridiculous, and alot of the time the program will just become nonresponsive. Its only this one specific file, as others open fine. It also has nothing to do with the hardware on my system, as we've tried the file on a variety of machines.The FLA itself contains very little bitmap art, most is vector. It's about 16mbs, but publishes down to a SWF thats about 300kb. There were some complex vector elements which were removed in a fruitless attempt to get this thing to move faster. Trying to "save as.." results in flash writing to a file extremely slowly. The resulting file will progress in size from 2 - 4 mb with about 10 minutes wait time in between. Its becoming nearly impossible for us to work in the file. how I could debug Flash itself to find out whats going wrong on load/save?

I'm developing a Flash application that uses several SWF-files. I have one main SWF and others are loaded into this one dynamically. One of the SWF's I'm loading is showing a video clip. This SWF contains code to load and display an FLV-file immediately after it has been loaded into the main SWF. My problem is that I can't find a way to unload this SWF. Once I've loaded it and it starts to play the video, the video keeps playing forever. Even if I remove it from the displaylist it keeps playing. I can't see it, but I hear the sound continuing.
I've recreated this problem in a small project (see code below). In this project I have a simple button that should toggle whether the video is shown or not. [URL] works as mentioned before: it automatically starts playing a .flv as soon as it is loaded. When I run this I get the following as I click the button:
Click 1: Video shows up and starts to play.
Click 2: Video is hidden, but it's still playing (I can hear the sound).
Click 3: Video is loaded AGAIN. Now I can see the video, but I hear TWO soundtracks!

I'm doing a photo slideshow and I have 4 photos. I have them displaying randomly with TweenLite, however I have 2 more things I'd like to do with it but I really don't know how to do them. I'd like for the photos to display randomly forever, as if the script would never end. Also, I'm curious as to why only 3 of the 4 photos are displayed when I run the swf.
Here is my script thus far:
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var photoNums:Array = new Array(photo_1,photo_2,photo_3,photo_4);

I'm working on a virtual piano keyboard that processes imported mp3 sound samples. I've come to a solution with this question, but as I run this test code below, the sound loops its last data chunk of each sound source forever, and obviously, I want it to stop at the end of the extracted sound data. The same happens with any extracted sample data, I don't even have to mix it. I added a dynamically drawn graphic waveform so you can visually check what happens. This is my first time using the ByteArray class, so I don't know how to solve this issue.

I am trying to make a spaceship game and in order to make it look like my spaceship is moving I need to make my circles in the background move forever. I tried using the Continuous Movement tutorail but it makes my circles get bigger when I move my mouse and when I move my mouse all the way to the right it gets faster and left gets slower does anyone know how to change the actionscript for the circle movie clip to make it not do those things?

i sort of asked this before but never got a clear responce to it. this is sort of a two part question. one i have a dynamic gallery of images with a small picture that you click on that loads a bigger picture. I would love to be able to just have one photo that loads into the bigger mc and also the small mc. right now what i am doing is making two size photos a small 47x47 and a large141x141. does anyone know how i can use the same photo for both mc's second question. if that works will it make the small photos take forever to load since their sorce is a large photo?

I am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.

I 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?

In my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

We purchased FMIS and we are encoding large 15+ hour MP4 recordings using flash media encoder. When opening these large files for playback, which have not been opened recently the player displays the loading indicator for up to 4 minutes! Once it has apparently been cached on the server it opens immediately from any browser even after clearing local browser cache. So a few questions for the experts
1. Why is it taking so long to load the file. Is it because the MP4 metadata is in the wrong format and the file is so huge? I read somewhere that Media Encoder records with incorrect MP4 metadata is that still the case?
2. Once its cached on the server, exactly how much of it is cached. Some of these files are larger than 500mb.
3. What fms settings do you suggest I change. FMIS is running on windows server R2 64 bit, but FMIS itself is 32 bit. We have not upgraded to the 64 bit version. We have 8GB of ram. Is it OK to set FMS cache to 3GB. And would that only have enough room for 3-4 large files, because we have hundreds of them.

I'm a newbie at Flash...and have a main movie that I would like to load external movies into..for ease of modification of the different areas vice having one large swf.I'm using the loadMovieNum command to load the external swf's just fine. When I play the external swf's by themselves...they play once and stop. When they are loaded into the main movie...they loop.I've placed a "stop();" command at both the frame in the main movie...and also on the line directly after the loadMovideNum line.

I have many movieclips on stage, let's say 100.Rather than setting onRelease or OnPress function for each one, is there any way of looping through all the movie clips (maybe if they were called MC1 MC2 MC3 MC4 etc etc), using an array, to see which one was pressed and then say what should happen if so and so MC was pressed.
Depending on which MC is pressed a variable will be a different number... e.g. MC1 pressed means variableA = 1, MC1 pressed means variableA = 2, MC1 pressed means variableA = 3 etc
I just thought there would be a more intelligent solution than writing out this 100's of times: MC[numberOfMC].onPress = function() { do something };
