ActionScript 3.0 :: Build A Flash Based Mechanical Clock
Mar 3, 2009
basically i want to build a flash based mechanical clock. I have all my gears with the correct ratios. I could have them all rotate via timeline animation but i would prefer not to make a 17000 frame animation when i could probably code it much more efficiently. So say gear A is rotating at one revolution per second CW. how could I code gear B to rotate a full revolution CCW every 10 times gear A revolves. then have gear C rotate once CW every time gear B rotates 6 times.

I have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

This is my code so far, is square.graphics the way to go? How do I draw a tile that is a picture? Do I need to hold the graphics in some sort of array to do checking like collision?

I'm familiar with C/C++/Scheme/Java/OpenGL/TCP/IP.I need to learn how to build a tile based / platform flash engine.What tools should I be using? What books should I buy?I strongly prefer tools that let me do things programatically rather than through a graphical UI.

Im trying to write a function that will build a menu based upon the vars that I passed it to. This is a simpler version on the code.(The library has a MC/Btn symbol with the linkage "btn");
Code:
function bulidMenu(nItems:Number) {
var menuMCx:Number = 100;
var menuMCy:Number = 100;
[code]...
Why do I get an output of 4 on every clicked button, instead of 0,1,2,3 ? I tryed forwarding the " i " to the onRelease = function(i) {} and then in it declaring a new var and assigning it the passed " i ", but that doesn't work either :/

We have been building our Flex app forever using Maven. Due to the fact that we use RIATest for integration testing we need to create a special test version of the app with the RIATest agent compiled in it and with the Flex automation libraries available. Apparently for the latter we need to provide the flex compiler with our license since this is only available from a version higher than Standard.
Up until Flex 4.0 and RIATest 3.8 this worked fine, we had our license information defined in a flex-config file in the user home directory. However currently with the combination Flex 4.5 and RIATest 4 we are having problems, the tests always fail with "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed."
We have tried multiple variations of defining the license key for Flashbuilder 4.5 but we have had no success. Currently our flexmojo configuration in the POM references an external flex-config file and there we try to define the license key.

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.

can you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart and there is additonal functionality attached to it to affect it's movement which I'm not too worried about although it would be nice)

I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

I just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.

Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.

i want to make an analog clock in flash, but i only see tutorials for that using AS2.
or... i saw a clock but the code was in AS2... can anyone tll me how can i pass this code to AS3...
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {time = new Date();mil = time.getMilliseconds();s = time.getSeconds();m = time.getMinutes();h = time.getHours();seconds._rotation = s*6+(mil/(1000/6));minutes._rotation = m*6+(s/10);hours._rotation = h*30+(m/2);}

I made a flash movie. I create a analog clock separately with AS3 which worked perfectly - hour and minute hand is moving. I need to import the analog clock into my movie. After import, the clock hour and minute hand does no move anymore - I believe AS3 is not executed. May I know what is the proper way to insert a AS3 object such as an analog clock into a movie scene that last for eg. 10 secs? (the hour and minute hand move in this 10sec frame before the whole clock disappear).

I'm seeing lots of cool clocks made in flash, but they load the time based on your machine's date and time. I want to construct a clock which takes the time from an official time server so it will always be up to date.

I'm trying to get a flash clock (with the clock hands ticking over) to work with server side time, not client side time
I understand I need "loadvars" within the actionscript for it to get time from the server but I really don't know where to start with the scripting.
I also understand I need a php script to interact with the flash file. Would the gettime.php script suffice?

I'm trying to find a way to stop my clock from ticking using event handlers. I almost have it, but for some reason the second hand (the one im only testing at the moment) is still rotating. This is my code that i'm using to try and stop the hand from rotating:
Code:
function clockStop(e:MouseEvent){
sec.removeEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME, enterFrameListener);
trace("click");
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clockStop);
Just above this code is my enterFrameListener which rotates the minute, second and hour hands. Also, above this i have of course the attached enterFrameListener to the second hand:
Code:
sec.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameListener);

I was thinking the other week - wouldn't it be great to have a flash clock that not only tells a classy analogue time but also, like a church clock, gives out bell noises when the hour is reached, an also chimes the number of hours the time corresponds too. So at 1pm/am it will chime once, and at midnight you get 12 chimes and so on, I'm sure you get my meaning. I'm not great when it comes to working with sound, infact I've never added much more than a custom click noise on a button. How to go about this? I've attached a nice church bell noise for y'all just incase.

Timing Format in Flex "24-hour clock" and "12-hour clock"if "24-hour clock" Button is selected, the control should convert times to 24 hour clock time. For example, if 3:45 p.m. is entered, it should be converted to 15:45.if "12-hour clock" Button is selected, the control should convert times to 12 hour clock time.

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

Not sure if this better for stackoverflow or apple.stackexchange.com (as there is a programming angle and a apple angle) so hopefully this is the right place. i need to build a website that normally would need to be done in flash (because of the requirements for animation) but the owner wants to run this site on ipad and iphone. i thought that all of the iOS stuff didn't support flash but looking into the adobe flash website here, it says that it has iOS support.
Can someone please clarify if iPad, iPhone will support a website if i create it in flash If it doesn't, then does anyone know what it means on the link that it has support for Apple iOS ??
