everything is in the main timeline. I've tried a few different ways including setting how many times to run the timer but nothing seems to stop it if I use the gotoandstop.
AS3, Flash CS3
var moveTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
moveTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveItOut);
moveTimer.start();
[code]....
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'm using this timer code for my game.
It should play 10 seconds and then go to the next scene.
PHP Code:
function timer(){
seconds=seconds-1;
if (seconds < 0) {
[Code].....
Well that works, but when I click on the play-again-button in the next scene, it won't play for 10 seconds (but less). I think the timer goes on without stopping. How can I stop the timer function when I move to the next scene?
How I can create a timer that will start from 00:00 and will stop at 3:25 or 2:53 and etc and stuck in that position? And I want it to be in a format of 59:59 (60 minutes and 60 seconds) and NOT in 99:99.

The problem is I cant figure out how to stop it or reset it after it goes to the next frame.
I have a .fla where the timeline is controlled by a timer located on frame 1 in a layer named "Actions".Essentially every seven seconds it advances to the next frame by way of the variable nextItem. There are 9 frames, then it loops back to 1. This all works fine.The problem lies in starting and stopping the timer ONLY AFTER the movie has looped back to frame 1. Not only does it not stop on MOUSE_MOVE but then on MOUSE_LEAVE the timer seems to get faster .. or jump through the frames.
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, timerOff);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, timerOn);[code]...
Code:
var _busMonasSemanggiSum:uint;
var _busMonasSemanggiMaker:Timer;

In my game I've got a scene where you get 3 seconds to click a button otherwise its Game Over, only problem is my code only works if I press the button straight away.
During some testing I was waiting 2 seconds then pressing the button, but when I go to the next part of the game, it will carry on to GameOver as if the Timer has not stopped.[code]...
I can't seem to find one. All I get are date timers. how to do timers?
I'd like my movie to randomly stop on a frame every minute.
Let's say: after one minute, randomly jumps to another frame
I would like to run a programme whereby I press a key that starts the timer and then press another key to stop the timer,the delay will be displayed and used to move a object on the stage dependant on the delay.
View 5 RepliesI made a simple count up timer, it is working just fine but I would like to have the %-sign next to the numbers so it would look as a preorder. But as I add "%" sign to the function, the counting never stops (at 100% any more), and continues counting.
var count:Number = 1;var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);myTimer.start();
function countdown(event:TimerEvent):void{

I have a project in which the main swf loads another into it. The swf that gets loaded has an xml driven slideshow that runs on a timer. To view what the timer was doing in the output I traced the name of each photo as the timer fired. When I unload the swf I've noticed that though it appears to be gone from the stage the timer continues to fire and the images are listed in the output. I know that I can stop a timer by using
ActionScript Code:
photoTimer.stop();
but I can't figure out how to stop the timer in an externally loaded swf. I'm using this code to remove the swf
ActionScript Code: this.mc_content_box.mc_placeholder.removeChild(contentLoader); I'm worried that the timer may be loading the photos in the background somehow and increasing the workload.
I have a swf with a slideshow that runs on a timer that I'm loading into my main swf. When I remove the swf from the main swf the timer continues to load the images for the slideshow even though I can't see them on the screen. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to stop the timer once the swf has been unloaded?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to do a simple game like tetris.I have a class "tile" that have got timer event, and every 50ms move my tile.y+=1. So every time I call for a new tile, it will go down until reach bottom of a stage. And the thing is, when the tile will hit another tile, he is still going down until bottom, becouse I dont know how to myTimer.stop(); in the tile class from the root.
View 2 RepliesI want to start a timer when the game begins that counts up, but doesnt actually display the time during gameplay, but stops when a player has won and the screen goes to the player wins screen. From there I want that time to display in a text variable along with all the other statistics I have generated. The timer will also need a reset function when starting up the game again.

View 5 RepliesFinally I was able to get my site running with a little FLASH ACTIONSCRIPT in it. (all courtesy of url....)I got so excited and published it right away 'cause I think for as a photographer, it's a huge accomplishment on my part.In my main movie, there are 3 BUTTONS namely: Portfolio, About me, and Contact.In the main timeline I added this script below
PHP Code:
stop();
delay = 30000;
intervalID = setInterval(pause, delay);[code].....
if you notice it, there is a 30 second timer set to purposely move the playhead back to "rewind" and load the RANDOM SCRIPT again. The problem comes whenever you click on either ABOUT ME or CONTACT, because once you are in those frame, the timer will bring you back at "rewind" naturally.I tried to search for some way to stop the timer when pressing ABOUT ME and CONTACT but haven't seen one yet.

I am making a game where I want to have a timer running over each level (a total of 4). When the user has finished the game, I want the timer to stop and then display their time. I have 2 dynamic text boxes with the varibles set to them as "Seconds" and the other as "Min". Here is the ActionScript I have for it right now:

I have an opening screen which asks the user to enter the first name and then they click the "start" button.This then loads an external swf into it and it starts a quiz on a timer.All that works except that the timer starts sometime during opening swf.I'm not sure if it's when the main swf is loaded or if when the user clicks in the input box but it is definitely not when the user clicks the "start" button like I have programmed.I even tried to stop the timer until the user clicks a button on the second swf (the external swf that is loaded into the main swf)[code]In the loaded swf I have a clock_mc that holds the timer.the first frame has a simple stop(); and the second holds all of the code that makes the clock run.I then have code setup so that when the user clicks a button the clock_mc.gotoAndPlay(2)[code]

View 2 RepliesI have a project which consists of 4 frames (+ one starting frame), where each frame contains a Timer class based-animation. You can visit each frame by selecting the appropriate button.
Let's say the animation in frame1 lasts for a total of 30 seconds, but I'm too impatient to watch it and decide to go frame2, which also I don't like. In the background however, the animation for frame1 is still running, for when I go to frame 2 and go back to frame1, the animation starts both from the beginning and also continues to play from where I left off.
I also get an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.

I�am trying to make a timer to my hangman game, and this is the code I�have.
Code:
timer = 0;
countup = function(){
timer++;
}
countupInterval = setInterval(countup,1000);
If i would like the timer to stop on a specific frame and show the time result how do I do that?With some kind of if-else statement, or some kind of function.stop.
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;

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?
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.
