I found a video online on how to make a countdown timer and I can't seem to get it to work.The video looks like it's using ActionScript2 so I did the same.here's the script.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date ();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();[code].........
How do I correctly remove/stop a timer in actionscript? do it like in this piece of code but timer has been set to fire frame1SoundTimerHandler in 200 seconds later :
playingScreenFramesObj.myTimer2.stop();
playingScreenFramesObj.myTimer2.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, frame1SoundTimerHandler);

my current little project requires text to be displayed for random time intervals. The timer code is as follows:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 10000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeQuotes);
timer.start();
HOWEVER the random intervals are not random at all. In actuality the interval is *always* about 5 seconds between each text change for the current code. I've tried *A LOT* of different things to try and get it to be random but no matter what I do, the interval between is always the same. I want the intervals between to be random e.g. text appears for 2 seconds then goes and the next text appears for 5 seconds, then the next for 1 second, then the next for 8 seconds etc etc.
We have one video application in this application an user can record a video of 30 seconds. Timer is not getting fire after 30 seconds only on one computer on other computers it's getting called except that computer. Frankly speaking we don't know about the computer configuration on which timer is not fired after 30 seconds. Can any body suggest us what's the problem? Where we are lagging?
We are considering this is due to older version of flash. Correct us if we are wrong. May be due to browser dont know what's the problem.
I am having a big of trouble with this code to change frames on my timeline. I thought my code below would work fine but its not. For some reason it will go to frames 1-4 (4 is the last frame) then it will go back to 1 again just fine as its supposed to... but then will jump to 3 then back to 1... all random instead of staying in sync. I have attached both my as2 version and my as3 version. My as 2 is working perfectly. I can define the amount of time a frame will pause for on each frame.
here is my as 3 code;
stop();
var frameTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);frameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,

I have a game which was built in AS2, I am trying to make a countdown timer so the game starts without the start button.
This is what currently prompts the game to start after "plat_btn" is pressed
play_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
_root.menu.customItems[0].visible = _root.menu.customItems[1].visible = _root.menu.customItems[2].visible = true;

I am having a problem with the if statement in my timer function, the trace statement within in it is not working, eventually I wanted to use this if statement further but need to make sure it is working first.
Code:
timerFunction();
} function call in function above
function timerFunction() {
trace("hey");//this trace works
var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,15);

I'm currently doing a project which strictly relies on sharp timings and uses as3 timers...
But the timers make some problems..
Here's my code used to test the timers..
Select allvar milliTimer:Timer = new Timer(1);
var secondTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
secondTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tickSecond);
milliTimer.start();
secondTimer.start();
function tickSecond(evt:TimerEvent):void{

I'm new with flash and I'm having some trouble with my script. The idea is to start the game by pressing the start button, and the countdown starts. The start button will then disappear. In 60 seconds, the idea is to try to drag all the garbage objects into the respective recycling bins. Only 1 try per object.The object will return to it's original position if it's been placed wrongly, mouseevent for that object is then disabled.
After 60 seconds, the game will end and all mouseevents are disabled. The start button reappears and I can restart the game again.

I'm following a tutorial to make a simple game. The aim of the game is for a player to evade a flying enemy ; the higher the score, the faster the enemy. The main elements in the game are the enemy the player and a score card.However, from following the tutorial, and adding the dynamic text field etc....the score doesn't actually work.This is the code that I was instructed to place on the first frame of the Scripts layer:
//Game Variables
enemySpeed = 5; //Set Enemy initial speed
numberEnemy = 4; //Change this to add more Enemies
score = 0; //Set initial score to 0

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.
View 1 RepliesI 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 RepliesIn 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 ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
