ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The Timer / Setinterval Function To Pause The Animation Between Tweens
May 11, 2009
I have been having trouble with the timer, knowing how to plug into the scripts/Functions the correct way. Below is the script (probably not written as efficently as it could be, but I'm trying) Anyway, the script is uses simple tweens for a movieclip. I would like to use the timer/setinterval function to pause the animation between tweens (Using the event listener after the tween stops to start the interval/pause) Is this the right concept or am I barking up the wrong tree.

I have some banners I am doing right now and have a pause timer question. I am fairly green at coding. In my first frame I have this:

I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.

I have scoured the web reading tutorials and lots of them discuss getting an object from point a to b.I simply want to move an object from left to right (no problem) pause for 20 frames, and then drop down.
I can accomplish it a few ways but it seems to involve way too many cryptic steps. One solution is fairly easy to implement but the resulting timeline visualization is really poor.[code]...

Wondering if there's anyway this can be done? Or is there anyway you can return the time elapsed since the last function call?
Reason being that I'm using it in a project that really requires the option to pause the game. So I'd need to "pause" an interval when the game is paused and then resume it from where it was stopped when the game is resumed.

I have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval. I have a loop that I want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc. So I can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
aMenu = new Array();
aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu[i]);
}}

What I have is the initial forloop that gets the fabric sections. Then a forloop within this loop to get the subsections.the locations of where the thumbs in the subsection should go are stored in the destThumb variables and then fed through to an easing function.however, each subsection group is also aligned depending on the previous subsection._height.So the thumbs are going to their right relative positions,but the subsections are not.'m assuming this is because the ._heights are being calculated instantly as the thumbs are beginning to ease,therefore making subsection only the height of one row of thumbs. canI use a setInterval somewhere to have the forloop pause before it loops again? Allowing time for the thumbs to ease in place creating the final height? this is just the top snippet of code:
for (var i = 0; i<theFabrics.length; i++) {
var storeHeight = materialSection._height;
var storeYLoc = materialSection._y;[code]............

I have an old Macromedia program - Authorware, that doe not like the SWF file output from the new CS Flash. I am able to go back to the old Flash version to get output that works - only 4-5 versions back - MX2004 or maybe CS.
I need to create an equivalent using timeline controls?
I was thinking of using a onEnterFrame. Have it loop till frame cycles hit the time I need i.e. 24 fps x 2sec = 48 frame cycles. then I would advance the main play head.

I'm building out the basic code for a timer that does 2 things:Counts down "bonus points" -- 10th of the total milliseconds in the timerCount down seconds and tenths of secondsThe bonus points will tick down along with the time -- this is part of a larger quiz interactive project that I'm putting together.I can't quite figure out the following (my math is bad, I think):Why can't the setInterval fire off in 1 millisecond increments? Is it too fast for the Flash Player to handle?What's wrong with my math for the milliseconds on the time? I'd like to ONLY show 10ths of a second instead of thousandths.

I have a very straight forward piece I'm working on that involves copy fading in and out but, instead of using the time-line for timings I'd like to use some script. It's just copy fades in (hold for three seconds) then fades out (hold for one second) copy fades in (hold for three seconds) etc.

I have a swf that advances through a series of frames by pressing any key. I am trying to set up a timer so that on idle (no keypresses for X sec), it plays an audio clip.
My AS below works fine, but if you press keys very fast it seems to get out of sync and plays the audio almost randomly (at least faster than it should). Does anyone know what might be causing this? BTW, I have tried using a keylistener which seems to make it even worse by affecting the volume level randomly.
//ON THE INITIAL FRAME...
myInterval = setInterval(callback1, 20000);
function callback1()

I'm animating a sunset and would like it to pause for a few seconds between motion tweens. I have one "pause" timer set up in
actionScript:
this.stop();
var timelinePause:Timer = new Timer(6000, 1);
timelinePause.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,[code].....
but when I add another in a later frame, I get these errors: 1151: A conflict exists with definition timelinePause in namespace internal.

how to make a crappy game, and one of them was a pause button , i managed to add all the other things in, but im absolutely stumped on a pause button. I read one tutorial, which didn't really help. it was talking about a main game loop and all that crap that just baffled me. i did try it though, and i did not get any errors, just ALOT of laf, becaus what i did was put all my constructor code into the 'update' function, so it was running my spawn enemies every frame ect. but the i realised all i need to do is pause my timer, because thats the only thing that really needs to be done right?
here is my timer:
public function setCrates()
{
DropCrate = new Timer(10000+Math.random()*10000,1);
DropCrate.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, newCrate);

The main timeline has a movie that consists of three frames that are supposed to hold while a sound clip plays. I was thinking of having a timer for each of the three frames instead of putting like 600 frames in the movie. I did it this way in those three frames, just changing the timer variables[code]...

I have a couple of buttons that start and stop sound, and I understand how to use a timer so that I can pause sound also. What I want to do, however, is have a sound play as it enters a particular frame and then stop upon entering another frame. As a means towards getting this to work, I experimented with a button that starts a sound on frame 1 and then a second button which stops it on frame 2. This works great as long as both buttons are present on the frame where the AS is introduced (which seems inconvenient as one has to be placed off screen, but whatever...).
When I switch around the name of the functions called upon by the eventListeners though, so stopSound is on frame 1 and startSound is on frame two, it plays when it gets to frame 2, but won't stop when it goes back to 1. I seem to not be getting the principle somehow, because if the functions are play on 1 and stop on 2, I can go back and forth endlessly. How can the order make such a difference? How can I get around this? How can I design an MC to have a sound associated with it so when the playback goes to the frame it is on, it will play, and then how to stop it later on?
Here's the very simple code I'm working with:
stop();
var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("TheCattleCall.mp3");
var sound:Sound = new Sound();
var soundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
sound.load(soundReq);

I know you can trigger a function by adding through a timer like this i ActionScript3:
Code:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerDone);
But what I'm trying to do is just have a timer create a delay in between a couple of statements within the same function. Is that possible? Something very simple would do, like
public function changeVar():void {
myVar = "red"
xxxTIMER CODE HERE
myVar = "blue"
}
How do I leave myVar equal to red for 5 seconds and then have it change to blue?

I am using this script from Actionscript.org:
[AS]
//In your main "action" timeline, frame 1 put the following code:
////////////////// Pause Function /////////////////////
this.createEmptyMovieClip("timer",50);
[code]....
I have the function written on my main time line but I want to call it from the middle of an animation on a movie clip. I'm not sure how to reference the function on the maintimeline. I've tried referencing the created MC "timer", I've tried referencing _root and other things but nothing seems to work. Basically I have a simple motion tween. I want it to get to a certain point then stop then continue. I have two tweens on one layer in my animated MC. Any suggestions?oh yeah, and I'd like to be able to call the same function from other MCs doing similar things. How can I reference the function?

What I have is actionscript which moves a movieclip from one point of the stage to another, using two buttons to trigger it - fwd_btn and rwd_btn. I also use a setInterval function, so that when you press one of the buttons, it pauses a second before moving. Unfortunately, if you press the fwd and rwd buttons in succession rapidly, the animation gets caught in a never-ending loop.

Creating Animations Using the AS3 Tween Class:[URL].. I have three textboxes and I need them to fly in at different times, not all at once.
From the tutorial I get that I should create a tween, then instantly stop it. I would like to know how to count seconds or frames before resuming the animation.

I'm supposed to do an intro (4 seconds) of 4 logos images (same size) to do a circle animation (once).I'm thinking about using tween classes to do that in 4 steps. Images will be listed on a xml file so i would be using an array to load images. Should I do it this way?... or should I create an empty movie container to load the images thru xml and make the animation frame by frame?.

My AS is as follows:

//<------- Hoeveel afbeeldingen er staanwait = 7;
// <------- Aantal seconde per afbeeldingplayclip._visible = false;
