I have a clock image that has a space for the day (eg: M, Tu, etc)a space for the month (spelled out) and a space for the date. It refers to a page I'm working on in Flash CS4. I'd like it to show the correct date in a specific type style. How do I program that?
View 3 RepliesI have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create an analog clock that changes color when its PM. The only thing is that the variable won't update. I made the code a function and put it in a code block that runs every second. To make it clear: The function DOES work, it just doesn't update the variable ampm which means when the clock passes 12, it won't change color. The function only gets the variable once from what I can tell. I traced the variable ampm when the local time was 3 PM but even if I changed the time to 3 AM, the variable didn't change. So it'll change color correctly when the flash file is first run but if the time goes from AM to PM while it's running it will not change color.
Code:
Here is my function code:
function color():void
{
/* AM PM, if hours is greater than 11, that is 12 and 12 is PM */
if (hours<12)

I am designing a couple of games in flash and i came to the conclusion that i need a more flexible solution for timing instead of onEnterFrame; An interval based system which i can pause or change the speed, independent of the frame-rate of the flash file. So some processes might be running at frame-rate while others use the clock. One of the trickiest parts might be controlling animations with the clock, but this would allow to make a real slowmotion effect.. Since i really have to brush up my skills, i have some problems/questions;
what technique would be most usefull for this? thinking of an interval and 'addlistener's type of thing. Is this heavy on performance?Not sure if the animation part would work.Do You guys think it could be a usefull function? is there another way?
Ps. I posted this here, because to me this is more about the technique than its application (the game).

The RD is just a number, but it was a malicious transfer up to 10GB of data, or very large data.
I get the error "A script in the movie caused Flash Player 10 to run slowly."I'm doing a preload of an external swf via as2 which is around 7mb. Then the message "A script in the movie caused Flash Player 10 to run slowly" pops up around ever 15 seconds or so. However, this does happen with smaller files. Any suggestions? Many visitors may think the game is broken and leave the page.[code]I would also be happy if this problem is solved instead. Around 70%, some times 20% the sound of external swf plays. How can I define it so that sound does not play. I was suggested by some to insert an empty first frame, but I don't have source of all the games. so that is not a solution.

can you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

I want to use a non-standard font on the web in a various combinations of font-color and font-size without having to assign individual configs for each. So far sIFR seems to pick up font-size no problem. but not font color, so I am working on a work around.
The problem I am running into: sIFR is breaking text to the next line without a linebreak <BR> being present.
[Code]...
For the sake of the project I am working on, it looks like setting the standard to block level elements only with font-sizes of 18px and above will be the route taken to keep from holding it up further, but I still have personal interest and would like to pursue understanding sIFR and the line breaking further.
I am new to Stack Overflow and am concerned this may be an 'extended discussion' which the FAQ says is beyond the scope of this site.
i have a project I am working on which requires many conversions. I am currently doing it manually and it's starting to make me crazy. I was told this could be done in Flash, which would be great, but I have little skill with Flash, and I'm not really sure where to start. What I need to do is:
1. Convert unorthodox units of measure to conventional units (mm/cm and inches/feet). These "unorthodox" units of measure are based on conventional units, so it's just a matter of saying a "widget" = 9.5mm (or) 0.3740063645"... etc. (just a simple example). There are 3 different unorthodox units in total, each with its own value.
2. To complicate things the unorthodox units are affected by "classes". (Here is another basic example)... say there are four classes of widget,

For an upcoming project the client wants an animated "Sun Clock" that shows the areas of the world map that are currently day/night. The Sun Clock changes continuously throughout the day to match the movement of the sun. I've attached an image of a Sun Clock as reference.
I'm really not sure where to start with this. I've found an example of a functional Sun Clock using Yahoo Widgets, but that's a bit different because I need to embed the Sun Clock on a web page.

I am trying to create a dice that doubles up as a 60 second timer that counts from 60 to 0. I have managed to create the timer with some actionscript and a single frame swf, one layer for the AS 3 and one for the dynamic text box. I have also create a die from four 60*60 squares that animates 90 degree's so it looks as if it is rolling.
My issue is, how do I bring these together? As the clock/timer is dynamic textbox it can't be animated around 3D space, so it needs to be converted into a movie clip (to the best of my knowledge). when I do this, the actionscript no longer works as it's no longer having to update the text attribute of a textfield, but the contents of a movieclip.Next, I tried to import the timer.swf (clock) and dice.swf with the Loader class and loaded each of them into a movieclip, then layered them. This ALMOST works, however unlike the text in timer.swf, the text in this instance is not refreshed and simply writes the updated value over the previous value.Here is what I've ended up with:
AS 3 code:

var dice:Loader = new Loader();

a)how hard is it to add action script to the hand pointers?
b)can i use the clock on my desktop to show time?
