I need to simulate a pause command for multiple parts of a game I'm programming. How do I start the timer, then stop it after 10 seconds in as few lines of code as possible without using multiple functions?

I am working on a puzzle has four different eyes, nose, and mouth. These can be placed on a blank head. I want to be able to place all of the same parts of the face, and have a response that says "Beauty" if the mix up the pieces from different faces, it will say "Beast." I don't know how to set up the AS3 to make this work.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make some buttons that play different parts of multiple movie clips- and also link to a url. I also want to be able to click on a movie clip and make it play starting from a certain point (this is what I have been working on) I have this code
stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
froggy.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);
}
it is on an actions layer of my main timline- I am not sure if I put it in the wrong place or what- but it doesn't do ANYTHING when I click on it when testing the movie. I gave the frogdance movie clip the instance name 'froggy' in the properties panel. The rest of what I am working with will be buttons that do things- but I also want this movie clip thing to work...
I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field. I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.
View 1 RepliesI have written the game. It starts at once, when running the program. EVERYTHING works in one Document Class. Now, I want to do some basic intro, for example, animated countdown before the game starts. How can I kinda pause the game? there is only one frame on the main timeline which contains the background.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a game, and I'm at the point where I want to add pause and resume functionality. The main onEnterFrame is no problem, but I have a bunch of objects that have their own onEnterFrame functions. These objects also have different functions, for example one for moving, the other for exploding. So each object is in a different state. I can't use hasEventListener, because it only checks for the type of event and not which function is part of the event. Is there a way I can check which functions the ENTER_FRAME event has? If a particular object doesn't have a particular function in its ENTER_FRAME event, I don't want to put it back when I resume the game. I suppose I could have a global variable that tells each function whether or not it's paused, but that feels messy since I would need an if in every single function I have.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a flash gaming site, BeardedGames.com. I just recently implemented a "Panic" button that makes the entire site display: none and display: block's a iframe with a allowed in school website of the user's choice.It works well so far, but the user's flash game still runs in the background while hidden. Is there a way to pause (not reset) the game, that will work on most, if not all, flash games? It needs to be accessible from javascript (possibly just javascript, or a flash wrapper?), and it has to work in IE 6 and greater (I know... I know. Can't help it.).Failed to make it clear that the user must be able to "un-pause" their game after the unpanic button is pressed.I haven't made these games, these are already made games like linerider.
View 3 RepliesI've noticed since the last few version of flash player that when your main view isn't focused on the flash game, it tends to mess the game up.How do I make it so the game automatically pauses when I switch to a new window or lose focus.
View 6 RepliesI'm implementing a pause function in a game, it stops the main game timer and then dispatches an event ("Game_Paused") to stop a second timer. Both timers stop (and start) correctly but the second one throws a null object reference error.
Here's the ActionScript Code:
private function onAddedToStage(e:Event):void{
_timerD = new Timer(100);
_timerD.start();
_timerD.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onUpdateTime);
stage.addEventListener("Game_Paused", onPauseGame);
[Code] .....
And this is the output:
Code:
Paused Timer=null
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.rtr.game.UI::timer_display/onPauseGame()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.display::Stage/dispatchEvent()
at com.rtr.game::Game_Timer/onKeyDown()
Paused Timer=[object Timer]
What's really confusing me is that the timer is still getting paused correctly, and the trace is showing up in the output before and after the error with two different objects.

how can I pause the game.I added a button, but I need the right coding in AS2
So mys question is this, I want to have a hidden button on a flash game where I press the 'P' key and it pauses and unpauses my flash game. To do this I want to use the stage.framerate command.... where I would pause the game by hitting the P key and setting the stage.frameRate = 0.01; and then unpause the game hitting the P key again and setting the stage.frameRate = 24;I used to tinker around in Flash stuff using as2 about 5 years ago and not touched flash since.
View 6 RepliesLike when pressing (not clicking!!!) the windows |X| button on the game window. Is that possible? Or will I have to write custom pause function? :S I have a very complicated program, and now I want to add PAUSE button.
View 3 Replieshow can i pause and resume a game when it has more than one Enterframe Event?

View 3 RepliesSo your playing a flash game that's fast paced and mouse-based (hey that rhymes somewhat)... And then you accidentally move your mouse outside of the area of the swf... And then it pauses automatically with a "Continue" button, instead of you just dying or whatever. I've thought you could have a huge button the size of the stage and make it do something when the frame isn't 'mouseover' or whatever, but there's gotta be a better way. Also setting limits on the _xmouse and _ymouse wouldn't work cos sometimes the mouse moves too fast for them to accurately get the last mouseposition...

View 4 RepliesI'm designing a platformer game, in which the code is all held within the character MC. I want to pause the game using something like 'delete this.onEnterFrame' as a start point to terminate code. The code layout within the character is like so:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
...
this.onEnterFrame = function(){ //within clip event
...
if(btnon == 1){ // when button pressed(on stage)) global value of 1 is true
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}...}}
Due to the fact its within a clip event structure, it doesn't pause it, instead it slows everything down. Would I have to construct all my code in a frame layer or can I still use an MC to terminate this?
how I can pause and play multiple movieclips at once. They all are on frame 1 of my flash movie but start at different points.
View 9 RepliesI am semi familiar with flash, but definitely not a pro. I am trying to get a game working and have found some codes that either don't work at all or only half work. Here is what I am trying to do:1.) Across the main timeline are 5 cars going from left to right and right to left, like they are driving across a road. One of the five cars is a "winner car" and the other 4 cars area the "sorry try again" cars. 2.) When the user clicks on any one of the 4 "try again" cars, I would like the entire animation to pause for 5 seconds, and then resume where it left off. There should also be a small message that appears saying "sorry try again" and then resume after 5 seconds.3.) When the user clicks on the 1 "winner car", they will be redirected to new URL. Right now, I have the following action script applied to one of the "try again" cars (a movie clip symbol) but it won't resume on click:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
_root.play();

I have a flash player that plays an MP3 from my website. On one of my pages i have around 20 of these flash players embeded on the website. i've seen on other websites so when the user presses the play on flash player #1 and then while that's playing, they press play on flash player #2, it would first pause and stop flash player #1 and then start flash player #2 and so on.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash "hear from the experts" video in which multiple speakers discuss an issue. I have it set up so you can listen to each speaker one at a time, however, I don't know how to pause and play each speaker so if you wanted to pause it and return or pause it and start a different speaker, you could do that and then resume where you left off. It would be even cooler if I could add some sort of status bar that shows how far into the audio you are, and you could skip ahead. I uploaded the file in CS3 - I had to actually delete the MP3s that are triggered to play on each play button in order to make it small enough to upload, but if you look at the code you can see it there.
View 0 RepliesI've searched around and havent really found anything definitive about this. Im trying to preload five flv files and then get them to play one after the other with as little pause in between as possible. Im thinking I might need to create five netstreams and then pause them, check to see if theyre loaded, start playing then first when they are with the others hidden, then after flv one is done show the container for flv two, etc. Ive done a test and I still get a bit of a jump in between flvs. Has anyone done then and got it to work without that hiccup?
View 1 RepliesI have a question in Flash play/pause button. I have created a flash slideshow which was exceeding 16000 frames, so I've split the movie into two. I'm loading the second movie at the end of the main movie using loadMovieNum. I have placed the play/pause button in the main movie which works fine until the second movie loads. This used to work for me in the older version of Flash (flash 8).I'm using CS4 now.

View 1 RepliesI have a Flash file that has two music tracks. The player I built works well so far except for this, I am trying to make a Pause/Play button the works on either track. Right now it only works on one. With my limited knowledge of AS3 I tried different solutions but none worked.
Here is the SWF file; [URL]
You will see that the Pause/Play button only works on �Kiss My Dogg� which is track 1.

Below is some of the Script I wrote. The pause/play is the part I can�t figure out.
//function to load different tracks
function loadMusic(evt:MouseEvent):void{
//stop whatever is playing

View 4 RepliesI'm currently making a game with over 100 levels. I have a level select screen where you can go to any of the 100 levels.I want it so that only level 1 is unlocked first then when you beat it level 2 unlocks and so forth.What's the best way to go about this? I was thinking an external text file maybe like this:
Level1:Unlocked:UnBeaten
Level2:Locked:UnBeaten
Level3:Locked:UnBeaten
and so on,then when the levels are unlocked and beaten updating the text file. Is this possible? Even making a class which stores level variables including beaten and locked.
