Does anyone know how to create a numeric display that counts down the time of a flv. For example if the time of the clip is 60, as soon as the clip starts to play it counts down 59 and so on.

View 1 RepliesI want to design a web page that will display a visual aid representing real time data. Real time for me means updating at least every few seconds, or literally realtime/event based if that is possible. The data displayed will be displayed in a rather visual/graphical way rather than simple text or a table.
I do not have a lot of knowledge of web development other than a little knowledge of HTML, so I do not know what options are available to create a web page that does what I want. My search has seemed to point towards Flash as being the technology best suited to do this, but I have also seen several articles which caution against flash (but mention no alternative).
The main alternative contender instead of Flash seems to be Comet style programming which I understand would likely utilize (in my case at least) a system called "long polling" to update data regularly. This could work, however the nature of the way I would like the information displayed leads me to believe that flash might be better than this as it sounds like longpolling is well suited for simple display of text inofrmation based on results, whereas I will need certain details of the visual display to change as well depending on results.
My research has also lead me to believe that an ASP.NET or PHP page would almost do what I want, but my understanding is that these two frameworks'/ languages' purpose is more along the lines of generation of a unique web page when loading rather than updating it as someone is looking at it.To make sure it is clear: communiciation is COMPLETELY one way in my imaginary web page. the user's display needs to update but they in no way send data back.What tools are best suited to create a webpage which will update/display (in a visual manner) data in real time in as someone is viewing it?
edit:
after finding this article: How does facebook, gmail send the real time notification?, I am thinking Comet could still be a really good option as I can just use it really as the messenger of events rather than having the direct result displayed as text or something. Still looking for advice on which way may be easier though due to my impression that Flash may be easier to program the graphics in a dynamic way.
An onLoadProgress listener object is returning a variable I am using to tell the user what percentage of the movie has been loaded. I am happy with the results of
Code:
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(empty10MC:MovieClip, loaded:Number, total:Number):Void{
//setText();
var percent:Number = loaded/total*100;
loadingTxt.text = beginTxt + percent + endTxt;
however the number returned is like 15 digits long! Is there any way I can limit the variable to display only 1 or 2 decimal places?
Is anyone else having trouble with the new tweening in CS4? Every time I enter a numeric value to position a movieclip it changes it! I'm getting very frustrated trying to do the simplist things - even when I move the clip manually it puts it back where it was. Am I missing something here?

i have a littlepiece of script the only thing i need is get the property of "ay" and "ax" evaluated all the time to use the numeric value, since i can't use eval.... obviusly this script is in the first frame and the mc "agencia" starts at 100% i always get 100 as a return and as i explained before i need to get the value all the time.here is the script
ax = getProperty(agencia, _xscale)
ay = getProperty(agencia, _yscale)

All variables start offset by 1 (a=1, b+2, c+3, etc..)I want the values to all start over when they reach 7.You can see the lower half of code displays these images, basically rotating around a circle.What is most efficient way to script? I assume an array.
a += 1; if (a==7) {a=1};
b += 1; if (b==7) {b=1};
c += 1; if (c==7) {c=1};

I need some help understanding for loop and timers and what I want to do is set the timer so it counts. Every 3 seconds add 1 to the count and then call a function. If the count reaches 3 then reset every thing and start over. But it isn't working the way I want it too.
Code:
//create timer for slide show
var delay:uint = 3000;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(delay);

I understand the basics of reference counting but I am having trouble getting my head around one possibility. What happens while a class function/method is running - suppose the class instance removes the last reference to itself while executing - how does that get dealt with internally and is it dangerous? Perhaps while a class' function is running a temporary extra reference is held or else the garbage collector is otherwise not allowed to delete it.
e.g.
class Something
{
function DoSomething

in AS2 I used to use this kind of code to get certain items in a movie clip :
PHP Code:
for (var sItem in this) { // do something with this[sItem]}
How do I do similar things in AS3? I mean, how can I access this[sItem] in AS3?
timer = int(80-(getTimer()-/:starttime)/1000);
if (Number(timer) == 0) {
with (_root) {
gotoAndPlay(70);
}
timer = 0;
}
Above is my code on a frame in a movie clip. The movie clip contains a dynamic text box that counts down. The variable name and the name of the clip is timer. when the timer reaches 0 it is supposed to go frame 70 which says sorry you did not make it, instead it goes to the frame that says congratulations... What am I doing wrong?
-Firstly can some one please explain what is meant by Object and Function in a profiling environment.
-Secondly, why does the Object and Function count increase when I repeatedly set the text property of a textfield:[code]
I am loading a flv video in AS2:
var conexion:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
conexion.connect(null);var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(conexion);
mi_video.attachVideo(stream);
stream.play("motto.flv");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code] .....
It works very good, In this line, I get de current time of the flv:
timer_txt.text = ((integer.length<2) ? "0"+integer : integer)+":"+((decimal.length<2) ? "0"+decimal : decimal)
And I need to display the total time too. By the way, I am not using the any flv component, I need to play the video in a custom player....
How can I display the timecode when using the flvPlayback component and custom skin?

I have a dynamic text box set up called 'circle'. Each time the movie loads I want it to display different text.
Currently, I have
Actionscript Code:

Unfortunately, when it loads it just sticks with the first 'hello', instead of choosing one of the other options. How can I tell flash to display a different text option each time?
