I am creating a flash animation using flashEFF animation components. The animation isn't looping like it's supposed to be at the end of the animation, so I would like to hard-code a replay after 20 seconds. How would I use AS3 to loop reset to the beginning after 30 seconds?
View 1 RepliesHow can I convert a number to seconds?..I receive a number, for example 150. It should display 2,30..How do I do that?
View 12 RepliesI have the below code used to create a random number every 3 seconds and then have the timeline go whatever numbered frame the random number comes to. It works. However when I trace the randNum, I see that it is generating more and more random numbers during the interval. For ex, first it generates one random number every 3 seconds... but then it starts generating more than one per every 3 seconds. how can this be? Isn't the function supposed to run once every 3 seconds?
setInterval(createRandom,3000);
function createRandom() {
minNum = 1;
maxNum = 3;
randNum = Math.ceil (Math.random () * (maxNum - minNum + 1)) + (minNum - 1);
trace (randNum);
_root.gotoAndPlay (randNum);
};
I need to call a function every number of seconds or so.. I'll just show some code:

basically, what it does is when i click, a block box (textholder), fades in, then after a few seconds (in this case, 2), it fades out again.. it works fine on the first click, but after more clicks, the interval duration seems to be getting smaller, up to a point where it is zero, and nothing happens.
and I need to use another setInterval() function (to call the changeTxt() function), will that affect the setInterval function i have up there now? i've linked an swf, to better show what i mean. [URL]
I use FlashMX and made a basic flash movie with one movie clip. (movie clip contains frame by frame animation using images rendered at AE) How can I make the movie clip stop after a specified number of seconds? Client wants to be able to change the seconds when needed. So a text file along with swf file including number of seconds...?

View 2 RepliesI am a novice flash programmer, and i recently stumbled upon the following problem, I got the following code ;
[Code]...
I've imported a flv video (flvPlayer, instance name) to loop with the following script:
var myLis:Object = new Object;
myLis.complete = function(){
flvPlayer.play();
}
flvPlayer.addEventListener("complete", myLis);
I would like the flv to pause for 3 seconds before looping again...
The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
This code produces a random clip from an array. I need it to loop every 3 seconds. Is this possible?
arr = ["strandA","strandT","strandC","strandG"];
arr.sort(function(){return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)-1});
var clip = arr[0];
this.attachMovie(clip,clip,1,init);

i have a soung loop that i want to "loop" in my movie.this is my script:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("loops/music.mp3",true);
the problem is that it only plays once (5 seconds long) and then stops, how do i get it to loop? - short of placing it on the timeline.

View 8 RepliesCan anyone tell me why the following is taking 4 seconds for Flash to execute:
_moleHoles = new Array();
var countingMoleHoles:Boolean = true;
var holeCount:int = 0;
[Code].....
There are 9 object on the stage (but this number could go up or down, that is why I'm dynamically grabbing these this way). So in my test case, this loop runs 10 times.
I have narrowed it down to something to do with the following line:
if (this['moleHole' + holeCount])
Is using dynamic (array syntax) object lookup that much of a performance hit?

I have buttons with id's button1, button2, button3, etc.
I have a for loop that i need to loop starting with a number and i need to enable buttons based on my loop. I need help taking my string button1 and making that the id "button1" so i can use the button property's.
Learning Action script and programming so I apologize that the solution is simple, I just don't know what it is. What I want to happen is to pass objects through that I want to fall down the screen. I pass the object in through e:Event (which comes from an event listener on the stage) and speed which gets a random number between a high and low value.When I run it, it of course gets a new random number every frame. (because its called by an Event.ENTER_FRAMEHow do I go about this to accomplish my goal?Here is my code:
private function moveIt(e:Event, speed):void
{
if ( e.currentTarget.y <= 400 )

I have thumbnails(jpg) which are stored into an array after beign extracted thru xml.All the button are name as their are attached to the stage via a foor loop inside an empty movieclip. The for loop used to attached the thumbs is also used to name...for eg: thumb+(i+1) etc... I then use another for loop inside a function to apply the onRelease state on them as i dont wanna write each state of each button 200 times or more.It works fine but i need to get the number of each thumb to populate different variables which are gonna be later used.

I'm loading a variable from a .txt file into flash (per client request).The variable is as follows &ClientNumberOf=4 so the variable = 4, this works on trace, happy, joy When I try and add the variable to my for loop..[code]I've tried a slew of different options...(for example)var newVariable: Number = ClientNumberOf; Nothing works, again, trace works, but script fails to work when I try and dynamically set the loop?!

I have a long list of images in the library linked as image1, image2, image3 etc. how do i set up a for loop that will display these images in one go (one on top of the other), i thought this would be trivial but everything ive tried doesnt work, i think i may be confusing run time with compile time with my attempts, when i set up a for loop with the iterator replacing the number (in the image name) i just get errors. Sure i could hard code every one but i find that dissatisfying.
View 2 RepliesWhen i use time varaible and then minus the time. Ive noticed that flash does not count down in seconds, but the speed of light. My maths are not very strong so how can i get flash to count in seconds
var time =60;
sprite.onEnterframe = function(){
time -=1; ( this counts faster than seconds)
