I have a piece of code, and in that function i call to another function that has 3 parameters.now i've decided that i want that last function to be called after a couple of secs, instead of immedietly. I can't simply use a timer, and addEventlistener, because then i cant give parameters.

I'm trying to run a function where after an amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then if the mouse moves another one plays. I have gotten my code to do this, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once. how do I do this?
here is my code,
standstill = 0;
lastmove = 0;
timeout = 3000; // 1000 ticks = 1 sec

I'm trying to run a function when after a specific amount of time of the mouse being idle a movieclip plays, then when the mouse becomes active again a different movieclip plays. I have gotten my code work for the most part, but the last function runs over and over as the mouse is moving. I want it to run once, so the movieclip plays once.

View 3 RepliesI have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

I have a function that calls another function once every 30 seconds. Each time it calls the function it updates the variables each time. My problem is that it only wants to call the function one time. All the variables are correct but it wont call it again.

//----LEVEL CHANGER----
newLevel = function(e_freq, s_freq, current_level){
clearInterval(_root.spawnInt);

View 1 Replieswhat i'm trying to achieve is to be able to create a random time frame betw 1 to 8 seconds before it calls a movie clip from the library.
Code:
function layEgg(hens) {
//set random time in sec
var timeGap = Math.floor(Math.random()*(8+1))+1;
[Code]....
however the time interval is not working. i managed to trace the random timeGap.
I have a sound clip running in flash and I want to jump to the next frame after a certain amount of time. Unfortunately it is not always the same time span. How can I measure the elapsed time and call a function accordingly? For example: after 17 second go to frame x, then after 25 seconds go to frame y, etc. until the end of the sound clip (2 min 50 sec.) Each frame holds an individual animation that is related to the current sound.

I've got a movieclip animation which is added to the stage at the start of the .swf.Its an introduction to the game, and the user is encouraged to click on the movieclip to start the animation.Once the animation is finished I'd like the movieclip to be removed from the stage.Do I need to setup some sort of event handler which listens out if the movieclip has finished then start a function once its finished to remove it from the stage? Which methods look out for movieclips finishing?

If you press a button within a certain amount of time, you are taken to lets say frame 2, if the time expires, you are taken to frame 3.I have used up all of my "i'm still a newbie at flash", so I'm just gonna tell you the truth and say that I haven't done any AS (or flash for that matter) in quite some time, so I guess I have to get busy and learning actionscript.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use actionscript to swap the frame to a different one after a certain amount of time i.e 30 seconds.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering, how do I display text for like 2 seconds or something, then make it disappear?Another question is, how do I set a timer that prevents a function from running within a time limit (2 seconds again) after it ran? Like if a function is triggered by a Key_DOWN, what would a code be to prevent it from running again until that 2 seconds is up? This question is for a 'reload' in a shooter. Is there any other way to approach this?

I have a flash movie on my index page but as the user navigates through the site and then goes back to the home page, I don't want the intro to replay. I have fixed that using shared object so that if it has already played, it skips to the end of the animation...here is my code:
function VisitCheck() {
var myLocalSO = sharedobject.getLocal("visitRecord");
if (myLocalSO.data.visited == null) {
myLocalSO.data.visited = 1;
gotoAndPlay(3);
trace("visit 1");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("visit2");
}}
VisitCheck();
Works great, except now, the intro animation on the index page NEVER plays again; I would rather have the cookie expire after the user closes the window or a certain amount of time has passed (say 30 minutes).
Time variable is "clock" and I want it to switch frames once clock is equal to three.

View 3 Repliesis there a line of code to pause or stop the timeline for an amount of time?
View 4 RepliesRight then I'm sure you guys can sort this out very simply. Basically I have this code that creates duplicate instances of a movie clip and puts them on stage with a few random settings where ever the mouse goes.This is cool but I want the duplicates to disappear after a certain amount of time (2-3 seconds or so) - or disappear when a certain amount of them have been placed on the stage.I have played around with the getTimer() function with no joy but I am not even sure if this is the right thing to use.
