ActionScript 3.0 :: Reset And Start The Timer Whenever The Stage Is Clicked?
Sep 11, 2011
I have a kiosk set up to load external swf's, and to keep them up as long as they are being played with. Once the swf sits for two minutes without being touched it goes back the attract sequence, which leads to the menu, where you pick your swf...
I am having trouble with the timer I have set to restart the program. I have it set up to reset and start the Timer whenever the stage is clicked, which works fine the first time you open the swf. But if you exit the swf, and later it is opened again, it will restart after two minutes whether it is in use or not. Does anyone know what might cause this?
Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...
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.
i am making a quiz. My problem is that once the user completes the quiz and wants to start again the quiz is already on the last question. How do i make it so that once the user clicks start again the questions and answers arrays start from the beginning, sort of reset themselves.
I'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
I have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
Ik got a game with a timer. When the game is finished you can play it again and the SWF file loads again. Everything is reset exept the timer. A new one starts but the old one is on the background.
The timer is the only code thats on the timeline..
I cant get the timer working in my AS file...
This is the code on the timeline:
Actionscript Code: var timer:Timer = new Timer(60, 1000); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,
so I've got a working Timer, which will stop() when I call it to and start, but I can't get it to reset(). It just starts from where it left off.Code for the timer
/*This creates a new timer object, that fires every 1000 milliseconds (each second), and will fire 10 times after it is started, then stop. Next we will create an event listener that will catch the Timer event, and call a function "changeText".*/
var alienTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,10) // declare an integer that starts the timer at 10! this shows the seconds left on the timer var secondsLeft:int = 10;[code]................
how to reset timer back to zero I have a button in the parent timeline of the code below and when I click it I want the behavior of the time will go back to 1 or 0. Button clicked, timer back to 1 or 0.
How would I get a timer function to reset after no buttonswere pressed for 3 minutes?Right now I have my timer starting on load, and then when abutton is pressed, it stops it. I basically want to restart itafter 3 minutes.
the code I have: [PHP]var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playSlides);
I have an increment timer on a game I have created, but the thing is it refuses to reset at the end of the game.If I do timer.reset(); it is not visible then if I cal timer.start(); immediately after, it will continue from it's former position at the end of the 8th level.It's really annoying me as it's the only thing that won't seem to reset, everything else is fine.
function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) { count++; var whole_value:int = int(count / 100); var tenths:int = int(count / 10) % 10; var hundredths:int = int(count) % 10; gamePage.timer_txt.text = whole_value + "." + tenths + "s"; }
i have spent several days on this and still can't get it to work. The code below is ok, I am playing a bowling game using the keyboard and timer with a text readout of the elapsed time, the bowl moves a set number of pixels on the screen. whilst in full screen mode I would like to click a start/play button on the screen to start the game and timer again, everything is in frame 1. Also I would like the game to just accept the keycode 77 and keyboard event (2 events only to move the bowl) and then wait for the start/play button click.
I have a series of 7 buttons that use the following actionscript that gives each one an Active state and deactivates the active button when another one is pressed[code]...
i'm trying to zoom in on a picture at the specific spot where the mouse is clicked. ie if the mouse is clicked in the lower left corner, the pic gets bigger from there, not the center of the pic. the only way i can think of to do this is to reset the registration point to the clicked position. is this possible? is there another way to go the job done?
I have made a counter but i want it to reset 3 times a week at specific days of th week. I want it to reset first every Tuesday at 9:45,Every Thersday at 18:00 and every Saturday at 12:00
Having a little issue here with TIMER, basically I am looking for the timeline to advance 1 frame after 3 seconds, OR on MouseEvent.CLICK advance to next frame (before the 3 seconds it up). Which would then reset the TIMER. So, on CLICK go to next frame, OR wait 3 seconds and go to next frame (while having the TIMER reset both times). So...
Wait 3, (timer resets) wait 3, (timer resets) CLICK, (timer resets) CLICK, (timer resets) CLICK, (timer resets) wait 3, (timer resets)wait 3, (timer resets)CLICK, (timer resets)CLICK... You get the idea.My issue is the timeline, over time the TIMER time doubles, it doesn't reset... I am sure this is pretty basic and I am over thinking.
Basically what happens is 5 eggs fall from the top of the screen. What I'm trying to have happen is, to have flash recognize when all 5 have been clicked and goto and stop on frame 3. The other problem is I want the animation to reset when the timer runs out. Thus clearing all current eggs off the stage. I've zipped the 2 files I'm working with the (fla and as files).
have been looking for the right solution to my little problem and not found anything that works with my project.I have a fully functional mp3 player built in flash cs5 with AS3 and I would love to make the stop button reset the song to the beginning instead of pausing it like it is doing at the moment.. My code for the whole app is as follows :
///////////////////////// /////// CODE FOR FRAME 1 /////////////////////////
I need to make a function (number function) repeat, so that the percentage in the progress bar can change over time, I'm currently using the setInterval(), to make the function repeat, but nothing happens.
I have a AS3 flash slide show that uses the timer method with a wait() function to change slides. So the preloader is on frame one and the first slide is on frame two and the second slide is on frame three and so on. At each slide frame there is a wait(7) statement so that the swf moves ahead to the next frame every seven sec. When I create a nav element that uses the gotoAndPlay function to target each frame.
Everytime the nav is clicked and goes to the corresponding slide the timing of the slides is all messed up. I may be naive but it seems that once the button in the nav is clicked the timer keeps going on the slide the user was on when the nav was clicked. How can I clear the wait() timer on click? When I just add a remove.EventListener to the button the function in the frame is not available to the button though they are both in the same frame.
Below is the wait() I am using in the root stage timeline: function wait(duration:Number) { stop(); var timer:Timer=new Timer(duration*1000,1); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onWaitTimerComplete); timer.start(); } function onWaitTimerComplete(e:TimerEvent):void { e.target.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onWaitTimerComplete); stage.removeEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onStageResize); play();
Below is the code for the click inside the movieClip button: b1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick); function onClick( event:MouseEvent):void {MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay(2); }
I have a .fla where the timeline is controlled by a timer located on frame 1 in a layer named "Actions".Essentially every seven seconds it advances to the next frame by way of the variable nextItem. There are 9 frames, then it loops back to 1. This all works fine.The problem lies in starting and stopping the timer ONLY AFTER the movie has looped back to frame 1. Not only does it not stop on MOUSE_MOVE but then on MOUSE_LEAVE the timer seems to get faster .. or jump through the frames.
I got a small problem in timer,i am using timer code in my game,when i reached the 0 timer i need to start the timer again with out using any events how can i do this .please help me in this.I am using following timer code in my game:
var aa:Number; var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,120); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);[code].....
I would like to run a programme whereby I press a key that starts the timer and then press another key to stop the timer,the delay will be displayed and used to move a object on the stage dependant on the delay.
I want to start a timer when the game begins that counts up, but doesnt actually display the time during gameplay, but stops when a player has won and the screen goes to the player wins screen. From there I want that time to display in a text variable along with all the other statistics I have generated. The timer will also need a reset function when starting up the game again.
I have a function that fades out sound. It works perfectly well, yet the mirror of that which is supposed to fade IN my sounds does not start looping.[code]The issue is that the Fade_in_timer calling VOL_up never starts looping.And the very same code works well when dV is subtracted from setVol.setVol, dV and Vol are global variables defined at the top of my main code. "timers" is an array to keep track of all new timers in case I need to stop them all and remove them.the other fadeout function that works well only differs in the names of the timer and the stop criterion and that setVol is decreased gradually.
when i click my button the first time my transition MC works fine but when i click it to another button it works fine too.when i click back to the first button it shows not the transition but only the completed transition so i get no animation.[code]
Just a quick question about the Timer class of Flex 4. I have a timer object with a set repeatCount. At the end of the set number of cycles, the TIMER_COMPLETE event is triggered and the timer.running changes to false. Now I can call the timer.start() function again. My question is that at this stage, does it also set the repeatCount property back to zero. Or does one have to explicitly call the timer.reset() function.
