Maybe I'm blind (or just dumb) but I've been searching through the API trying to find out how to get the time elapsed for a Timer object. I want to, at any given time, find out EXACTLY how much time(in milliseconds) has passed since a Timer Object has been started.

I've created a timer to count elapsed time on a flash player of mine, I can't figure out how to control it though. For example I need the pause/ play buttons to (you guessed it) pause and continue the count.The dynamic text field that keeps count is simply called "count" and the pause button is btn_pause and play button is btn_play
Code below.
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;[code].....
Im using the FLVplayback component for a project im doing. I want to add the time elapsed and time left on the controls (just like how the player on the tutorials on this site works). I dont really want to create my own controls, as im happy with the flv playback component.

View 1 RepliesSuppose I have 2 buttons on stage. When the first button is pressed, a time count starts. When the second button is pressed, the time count stops. (In essence we are measuring the time elapsed (in milliseconds) between the first and second click.)How can I set up such time count?
View 6 RepliesI wonder if you can get the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since an actionscript timer has started.I want to set a simple label in flex that has the value of how long it wil take before the timer fires (again).this is the code, at 'GET ELAPSED TIME', I need the time that the timer has been running (since it last fired the function):
var timer = new Timer (10000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, foo);
timer.start();

I have published some videos with flash, but I need to find a way to display a very simple timer showing the elapsed time. I tried to use a dynamic text with AS3 without any success. I would like to use one of the ready-made skin for my player, and just add anywhere on the stage a dynamic text field with my time inside.

So it's still returning the time from 1/1/1970.... Any way to make it return something like this: Mon Jan 02 01 1:2:35 GMT-0800 0000 or something like that so I can get the days, hours, minutes, and seconds elapsed.
I have a programme that will count each second that has elapsed from one key press to another, in the output panel I get all the times this has happened (each second) but would like the total number displayed in a text box on the stage at the end. This will be the total delay between key presses.
View 7 RepliesI've set up four buttons with a "for" loop. I need each button, when clicked, to start a timer. That button's timer will multiply a factor while the timer runs. For example, a button is pressed, a textbox will increment by $5.00 for each second until the button is clicked again. I thought I had figured this out, however because the buttons were set up in a loop, I could not figure how to differentiate each timer based on what button was pressed. I tried putting the timers in an array, but to no luck in capturing exactly which button starts the timer. [code]...

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.
View 1 RepliesI having a hard time on a small task that I thought was easy to accomplish, but it is taking me longer than expected and not the results I am wanting.I am developing a shooting game. I have a hero that can shoot only so often (once every half second for example). I am trying to scale a MovieClip depending on how much time is left to be able to fire again.
So when the hero shoots the gun, the MovieClip will have a scale of 0. When 250 milliseconds has elapsed, the MovieClip's scale should be at .5, assuming the gun can only shoot every half second.
Can anyone provide code on how to accomplish this? This is what I have to keep track of when the hero can shoot next,

How to add a dynamic text field to display the time elapsed and time remaining to play. I have been checking out the Adobe Live Doc but cannot search for what I need. Below is the code I have already that just shows the video and its controls.
Actionscript Code:
//the below script it on a button on click actionvideoholder.vidPlayer.source = "videos/Introducing our team.flv"//this code is in the same frame as my FLV holder called 'vidPlayer'import fl.video.*;// vidPlayer is the FLV holder//CustomVideoControls is the mc where the play, pause, mute buttons arevidPlayer.playPauseButton = customVideoControls.playpause;vidPlayer.seekBar = customVideoControls.seekvideo;vidPlayer.muteButton = customVideoControls.mutevideo;vidPlayer.fullScreenButton = customVideoControls.fullScreenButton;
I've been trying for hours to add the elapsed time to a dynamic text field using a video player.
The Flash website has code similar to this:
Select all//Get playhead time
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace(ns.state + ": playhead time is: " + eventObject.playheadTime);
controls.elapsed = Math.round(eventObject.playheadTime);
};
ns.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", listenerObject);
But that was designed for an FLVPlayback component and therefore does not work.
I have an app in which there are 2 identical units that have a timer that displays elapsed time. I'm using a single file for these units since they are identical. When a user turns one of the units on, its timer is supposed to start and when they turn it off, it should then stop. The problem I'm having is this:
If I go to one unit and turn it on, and, after 2-3 minutes, turn it off, then go to the 2nd unit, instead of displaying 0:00, it displays the 2:00+ that was on the first unit. If I go back to the first unit and turn it back on, instead of starting at the 2:00+ mark, it starts up at 3:00 or later. I'm not very familiar with the way getTimer works, but I had figured that could be set to start whenever I wanted.
If the user then selects a new module, instead of restarting at 0:00, it starts off at around 5:00 or so. It appears to be giving the time from when I started the Flash piece instead of since the beginning of the module like I thought it would. How should I code these timers so that they can start when the user selects a module and so that they can be distinct values?

View 3 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.
View 1 RepliesI created a frame by frame animation using the default elapsed time. There are 41 frames, and it is completed in 1.7 seconds. I would like the whole sequence to complete instead within 30 seconds. How can I change the timing? I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional (v. 10.0.2).
View 1 RepliesI 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 am creating a flash game with a timer and as you answer questions I would like the time to increase or decrease but I can't seem to figure out how to do so.
View 1 RepliesAnyone know if its possible to change the time for a timer i.e.

I'm working on updating a quiz game my employer has. One problem I encountered was that the timer that runs during the "exam" mode of the game wouldn't work, so I found a work around by replacing it with a timer that did. All that it is, is a dynamic text box on the first frame of the questions, with the following script embedded in the start button to make it run:
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;
onEnterFrame = function () {
elapsed_time = getTimer()-start_time;
[Code]....
When the game ends following the completion of question # 20 (there's about 200+ questions programed into it, with the 20 chosen at random) the game is redirected to a frame with results page; and here the time stops, using this code: count=(stop); Rudimentary, but effective - at least in stopping the timer. On this page is the option to save the results, with input found on this page (score, name, date and time completed) being output on another page, in a form the user can save or print off. What I can't figure out is how to output the elapsed time paused in the resutls screen, to dynamic text box in the save form. What script do I want, to send this information to the proper text box at the end?
