ActionScript 3.0 :: Lock A Variable/s For Time Period?
May 3, 2010
Basically im making a completely flash/as3 website.I have a transition effect which lasts 2 second which is triggered every time some buttons are clicked.
My problem... The transition effect includes variables for x,y, size etc etc and if the button is clicked again inside these 2 seconds these values have not reset to their starting values and the effect gets screwed up.
I know it is unlikely that a user will click another page within the 2 second bracket, but they may double click the button by accident or decide quickly they want another section (and be a fast clicker ) etc.Is there anyway to 'lock' these variables until my effect has completed ?

I have a simple app that stops on frame 1. There's a button that after clicking moves me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have another button to which I would like to add an eventhandler similar to the one for the first button - I am however unable to, as I get the following error :
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I tried to add the eventhandler after a certain period of time (with the use of a timer) and that works, but seems a totally dumb workaround - and the error obviously pops up because the code that tries to add the eventhandler launches before the second button is actually created. How should I solve such a scenario ? I tried to fiddle with other events like Event.ADDED and Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE but the first one seems sort of wild - it goes off every time I even wave my mouse cursor over the first button (why ?) and the second one doesn't go off at all when my app moves to frame 2 - shouldn't it trigger ?

I have an item that I want to appear on stage (see code below); but only for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds I want the object to disappear. I know that I can use removeChild to remove the object, but I don't know how to keep the object on the stage for a specific amount of time.
Here's the code:
stop();
//Add a movie clip to stage
var sample_mc:LibrarySymbol = new LibrarySymbol();

How do I rotate a movieclip 360 degrees over a period of time? Can I use "new tween" ? I am trying to rotate the movieclip while it is moving from position y to y+50 (this is done using new tween)

Im trying to have a small sized flv video that plays on top of another flv, the top one fades out. It technically works, but it randomly sometimes doesnt fully fade out. It would stop half way fading or just about gone but not quite or doesnt do it all.
75% of the time it works.Im wondering if flash balks at ram/processor usage and just quits fading, but cpu is only at 16 when it fades. Or if the tween class is buggy.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]....
I originally had a timing code in there so it would fade out after a period of time, Ive removed it for simplicity. It still doesnt fade properly.

I have this MouseEvent function that I have totally no idea why it fired twice. Is there a way I can disable the function in a period of time? I tried disabling the button, but seems like it directly called the function and does not trigger from the button.
Addition info:When I add in more object to the array, the function fired more time
The Class the handles the button

Is there a way to loop one frame after a certain period of time. I have only one frame in the timeline, and about 10 layers with a single frame containing a container to load external mcs. These frames are all lined up in one row and the mcs play after a certain number of seconds. The last layer containing my last mc that plays fades out to black and then nothing plays again but id like to have it so that all the mcs play again like the first time, like a loop.

I got this transition: [URL] (you need to wait a bit + reload). The pictures are coming via xml (same folder). How do I increase the length (time) in between the transitions? And Why does it stop after the first image and why does it chooose always a certain image to be the first one? why are there diff. behaviours on different systems (local <-> server; mac <-> pc;)
Code:
#initclip 1
ImageFader = function () {
this.__init__ ();
};
ImageFader.prototype = new MovieClip ();

I am working on an animated web banner. The specifications say that the animation must stop after 30 seconds but can resume on a mouse rollover. My animation is just a looping rotating circle created on the timeline. How can I get this looping animation to stop after 30 seconds? Also, is there a simple way to have the animation resume on a mouse rollover

I am developing a video player for FMS 3.0 and my client complains that when he leaves the player running overnight or after computer goes to sleep when he comes back the elapsed time displayed as NaN and when he tries to play, nothing happens. Why is this happening? Does it mean that the connection with the FMS dropped and I have to reconnect? How can test for the dropped connection?

I have a flash application. I'm trying to send users text messages via php after they did certain things on the flash.
For example,
Text user 1 hour after they did
thing#1.
Text user 10 minutes after they did
thing#2.
[Code].....
I'm thinking of setting up a table for the list of things that will trigger the text. Then have a cron job set up to check the timestamps of each user finishing those things.

I'm trying to make a progress bar that moves from 0 to 100 over a specific period of time. This time will be dynamic. It might be 10 seconds and it might be 13.2 seconds or whatever. The overall width of the progress bar will never change but the amount of time it takes to go from 0 to 100 will.

can someone give me an idea how I would use a function to enlarge and change the alpha of a button but make it span over a period of time like it was an animation.a long time ago on gear78.com I think he used functions to make his buttons do what they did and it was badass. if I find another site I will post a link. if you don't know what the heck I am talking about tell me and I will try and explain it more.

I want to have a variable which changes from time to time based on certain parameters.
For Example:
var poop:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){if(donkey==1){poop = 2;}
if(donkey==2){poop = 5;}
}
But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.

I've just taken and slightly modified a tutorial from actionscript.org. IT explained how to show the time in flash. I completed it and modified it to just show me the hours, minutes and seconds. I'm using it for a site I'm workin on. It was a tutorial for mx though, so I made a seperate swf an had it load into my site's mian swf using the loadMovie script. Now I want to take the time experiance and push it farther. I want to know how I can take the time from the loaded swf (which has a dynamic textbox ofcourse) and use it as a variable. I want to basically two things:
how to get the variable from a loaded swf
How to have a variable control the tint of one MC and the rotation of another.
I'm having a MC fill the whole screen and tint to represent the darkness/brightness of the day and I'm going to have a sun/moon MC rotate past the screen.

Code:
for(i=0; i<5; i++) {
d = i;
}
but I want the variable not to be d but it create a new variable each time so I can

I have a table which containt a date, a number for the number of weeks per period, and a year. the user then enters a date and I can calculate the period number from this. But I'd like to do it the other way too: Entering a period number and get the start and end date of the period from this. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the right logic.
EDIT: options[0] being the start date from the database and options[1] the number of weeks for one period.
This is the function I already have and which works:
private function dateToPeriod(date:Date):Number
{
var d = new Date(options[0]);
[Code]....
let's say my start date it 12/12/2009, then passing 12/12/2009 to this function would return 1 since it's the first "period" from this date (in week number).
What I want is to make a periodToDate function.

how to set variable time for a single timer, like I first setup this timer:
private function timer():void{
var randomTimer:Timer=new Timer(time,0);
randomTimer.addEventListener("timer", somefunction);
[Code].....
So how can I influence the time inside the timer? Do I create a global timer, remove the listener and recall the timer function? Would this work since the timer has already been declared, I a re-declare a timer?

I've migrated from AS1 to AS3, and boy, a lot has changed... Anyhow, to learn and understand AS3, I'm modifying a slideshow I found through thetechlabs. I want it to play SWF as well as JPG. These files are passed through an XML file. I added an element called <delaytime> to the XML file that replaces the standard time a photo is shown in the slideshow.
I modified the onSlideFadeIn() function as follows:
function onSlideFadeIn():void { slideTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide); slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time); slideTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide); if(bolPlaying && !slideTimer.running) slideTimer.start();}
However, when I run it, I get this error message:
## [Tweener] Error: [object Sprite] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete'handler. TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/onSlideFadeIn()at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweenByIndex()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweens()at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/onEnterFrame()
It stops at the first picture of my slideshow. When I push the 'next' button it displays the next pic, but I get the same error message again.When I comment out this line:
slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time);
the slideshow runs OK, but without the delaytime specified in the XML file.
