ActionScript 3.0 :: For Loop - Set The Timer So It Counts?

Nov 9, 2009

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);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loop Without Use Of Timer Function?

Jun 28, 2010

have images play automatically when you don't click on PREV or NEXT buttons in a gallery for a certain amount of time.

I've used the TIMER function, but found that, when I click on PREV or NEXT, the timer would be activated again on that picture, which messes up the entire browsing experience.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Timer / Delay Inside A 'for Loop'?

May 29, 2010

possible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through. I have a for loop with i++ so that I can put objects on the page with a small pause between them. The i++ loop puts all the movieclips on the page simultaneously. I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Cannot Place Timer Event In A Loop

Aug 25, 2011

I tried to move 4 movie clips in a loop and with a 3 seconds interval. So first I tried a loop and a timer function inside. I supposed by the loop the timer should start and finish for times. But itdidnt work. So I used another code which is longer and complicated. So it worked. do-while doesn work also with first logic-why?
 
here are the codes - m s are clips

addChild(man);

I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Timer To MovieClip Loop In Triangle

Flex :: Enterframe Event - Using Timer Class For Main Loop

Jan 8, 2011

I have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.

AS3 :: Flash - Use An Timer To Execute And Loop Movie Clips Of Different Length?

May 13, 2011

How would I go about using a timer to initiate multiple movie clips at once, and then loop them if they are all different lengths so that they restart in sync once more?

For example, say at t=0, 3 movie clips are started. Movie clip 1 is 3 seconds long. Movie clip 2 is 6 seconds long. Movie clip 3 is 10 seconds long. Movie clip 1 would end before movie clip 2 and 3, but I don't want it to restart until the others are both finished.

Furthermore, is it possible to set a countdown so that the the movie clips are initiated not after a duration, but after a specific time? For example, instead of having a timer countdown from 10 seconds and then playing, it instead countdowns until say 12:00 PM and then plays the movie clip.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Ref Counts And Instance Deleting Itself?

Jan 13, 2010

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

Flash - Timer Object With TimerEvent.TIMER Event Globally Accessible To All Objects?

Feb 16, 2012

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;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Difference Between Timer.stop() And Timer.reset()?

Aug 27, 2008

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.
