ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Variable Time For A Single Timer?
Jan 7, 2010
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 know how to stop and start a timer, but how can you capture the timer value to a variable and resume it from there at a later time? I tried capturing the currentCount of the timer to an integer variable, but i cant modify it.....it says its read only.
In 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.
Can we use 2 timer events in a single application. I'm trying to use 2 timer events in a single application but the 2nd timer event is not working.... any one have an idea??? how to use 2 timer events in a single application.
Any good argument as to why I shouldn't use a Dictionary over an Object every single time? I can't think of any case an Object can do the job a Dictionary can't, and it doesn't seem as the Dictionary creates that much more overhead.
i am beginner dont know how do display all country time into a single page using action script 3 in flex . do u know any example time code refer me . i will try that code .
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.
Requirement: Create single very large bitmap data which contain some 30 PNG images loaded and for each image it should have some text. Images and text are loaded dynamically (AS2 code. Images are stored in a remote server). The bitmap data display should show 8 images at a time and corresponding text. We can see rest content by scrolling (kinetic scroll is implemented). How can I go for it?Some questions:Is there any limit for size of bitmap data ( As per link there is restriction on the height of the bitmap we can create in AS2 (max value is 2880 which is not enough for some 30 element list If we create individual bitmap data for 30 individual PNG files, we find some jerks in scroll. How can we have smooth scrolling?
I have a problem with two functions. This is the story: the user has to press the space button on keyboard when he sees something on screen, then the "rightClick" function is called. If he presses the button when there is something else on screen that is a wrong answer (function "wrongClick" is called). The problem is that when the user presses the space button both function run at the same time.
This is the call of the wrongtClick function on frame 5 stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, wrongPress); This is the call of the rightClick function on frame 10 stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rightPress);
Both function are very simple: function rightPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void { scorenum += 1; trace ("Right:",scorenum); } function wrongPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void { wrongnum += 1; trace ("Wrong:", wrongnum); //and plays a sound too }
is there a simulator or a way for Adobe Device Central to read CS5 created iOS published SWF's or ipa's for testing purposes?At the moment, I make a change in Flash CS5, publish the SWF and IPA, delete the old version from my phone, drop the new IPA in, re sync and test. This is not good for the workflow. What are the options for testing and developing?
Given the following example SWF: Sample Notice how with the words "enthusiast" at the end of the first line and "write" at the end of the second line, that they start to type out on the first line but after a few letters they are bumped.
I understand this is the correct behavior, but is there a way for "enthusiast" to begin being typed on the second line, and "write" on the third line instead of being bumped during the typing?
Currently I am thinking of doing a search ahead mechanism, so it finds the next word in whole, then makes that the active word to print, temporarily print it, see if it increases the numlines, and if it does insert a line break and continue writing. But it seems fiddly.
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:
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?
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 have been trying to create a countdown timer but i cant seem to get the time to display, the first time i tried only letters where displayed instead of the number and after playing around now I only get the :'s (between the numbers) to display and the occasion '0' appears?[code]...
I have a countdown script that pulls the users time, but I need the server time so visitors can't cheat the clock.[code]How do I get the server date and pass it to the date var startTime?
does any one know of any good countdown timer's for flash which i can use to be implemented in a flash game or quiz ? also i have the following line of code
var endDate:Date = new Date(2010,7,30);
how would i go about having the endDate to be the current time and date + 30 minutes ?
I've looked all over the web and everyone can teach you how to make a timer for your game or a countdown, but I can't seem to find out how to add time to an already counting timer. So here is my counter class:
That works without any issues or problems and just keeps counting upwards at a speed of 100ms, what I want to know is how to add say 30 seconds if something happens in my game, say you kill an enemy for example.
I'm new to concepts of AS 3 but i'm stumbling through it.So i'm looking to the Fourm for some Mentor ship
I have a simple Regular Flash slide show with 4 slides and an intro label. I need my Intro label to have a Timer or Delay event that holds on the "Intro" Label for a certain amount of time before the Timer expires and calls a function that tells FLASH to go on to slide "Slide 1" label.
The trick is i need this delay to run everytime the Timeline is at the "Intro" label as i have an animation playing while the timer or delay event counts down and finally at end goes to label "Slide 1" Can anyone share some simple code snipets that would point me in the right direction to accomplish this using AS3 ?
I am using the Timer class to time events. Although, I am not sure I have it set up correctly as after a few seconds the events start to get synchronized. first two, then three, etc. Here is an example of the code:
[Code]...
Does anyone know what could be possibly interfering with the Timer for this to happen? It mainly starts happening after you click on an mc and it is removed from the stage (this is for a game).
I have to make a timer that starts off set at one minute and plays an animation mapped to the time remaining in the timer. I need it to start and stop on a button press, and once it has gone through the minute, I need to be able to add time to it and start it again (with the animation mapped to the new amount of time) by clicking and dragging (or maybe with a slider). I have the basic functions down, but I can't figure out how to get it to start over with the time added by dragging. Here is my code so far:
I'm trying to build a simple timer application in as3 that counts down and then plays a gongsound. easy right?There are 3 buttons that should change the time from 2,3 and 4 minutes. Default time is 3 mins but the buttons never change the time and I can't figure out why, the trace tells me the boolean values have changed but the time is always the same..To save time I changed the times to 3,5 and 7 secs. here is the code :
ActionScript Code: //time selection buttons var time;
I'm making a game and it has a 20sec timer in it and I want to make a button/powerup thing that adds 5 seconds to the timer when you press it.I'm currently using: -
I used the Cowntdown timer from this page [URL]I wanted to know how can I adjust the time. For example, I want to change the ending time to 8.00 am, what do I need to change in the code for it to "explode" at 8.00am?
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 have looked at the Timer Class documentation and there does not seem the Timer Class provides a method or variable that returns the remaining time. I was wondering if there is a way to determine how much time is remaining after a timer has been started?
I'm working on a project with AS3. On timeline I have a movie clip which contains a timer (only one frame). The timer for testing purposes has been set to six seconds. In timeline are two labels (page1 and page2). Timer is on page1. PROBLEM: I would like timer move to page 2 on scene1 when time is zero (0). how to do that. Here is my script:
I am making a game where I want to have a timer running over each level (a total of 4). When the user has finished the game, I want the timer to stop and then display their time. I have 2 dynamic text boxes with the varibles set to them as "Seconds" and the other as "Min". Here is the ActionScript I have for it right now:
