In AS2 I use an interval function to make the movie stop in a specific frame for x second and they play again Example:I add this code on a specific frame 1:
var count:Number = 0;
var maxCount:Number = 35;
useHandCursor = false;
[code].....
I have a simple movice clip, 72 frames. On Frame 42 I have this actionscript
//----------------------------------
function wait2() {
stop();
[Code]....
and a few other "possible" solutions I found on the web....but nothing works. If I click the damn button...
ActionScript Code:
myFunct();
function myFunct()
{
[Code].....
Any way to get this to work without using much more code? This is for a function that checks to see if a user is still logged into a website. I need the check to happen every time the user causes certain functions to run, like create topic, submit new post, etc. I could put the code, which is only a two-liner if/else statement in every function, but it would be nice to just call a single function. But that function would have to be able to cause the function that's calling it to return to get it to cease.
How do you stop an interval after you set it?
View 5 Repliesthis SHOULD stop. the end conditions certainly fire... but it just keeps on looping like some mad...thing! i attached the FLA and the TXT it needs to work it's madness.
View 13 RepliesI am using setInterval to call a function which itself creates intervals to call a second function..My issue is with the second interval in function1 'var b'. I am trying to use clearInterval(b) under certain conditions to stop each interval. This works when I have a 'single' interval created (i.e function 1 is only called once) but as soon as it is called more than once, I get errors.simple eg below
Code:
var b:uint;
var a = setInterval(function1, 1000);[code]....
I actually solved this by creating a 'counter variable' which is passed to function2, and just used clearInterval(counter), counter++; to clear each interval.My issue with this solution is having to keep track of what number interval im up to 'manually'.. and if i create more intervals later on Im worried about 'loosing count' and having to keep track.. and would rather reference the var name itself if possible?
I've tried to compare my counter var to the value of the interval via a trace, and they appear to be the same. So I dont understand why clear(a) and clear(counter) dont give me equivalent results.
I have a problem with a clear interval command that only half works,when i select the the high button the interval clears but when i reset the high button the interval starts again,also the interval does not stop when the low button text shows low.I get the trace action but no clear interval.
Code:
auxcont=function(){
if(high_txt.text=="reset"){
clearInterval(myInterval);[code]....
on low system circulates between pump on and off.on high system is in high mode .
I have an interval problem.
Code:
//function for fading in objects
function fadeIn(theMc:MovieClip, fadeParam:Number) {
if (theMc._alpha < 100) {
theMc._alpha += fadeParam;
trace(theMc._alpha);
[Code] .....
I made a small function for fading in objects. Once the object its alpha is larger then 100, it should stop that interval, but it doesn't.
I have a funtion set up in my actionscript and I have the function start at frame 5 by doing:
functionName();
I'm trying to get the function to stop once it gets to frame 20. I was thinking something like functionName(stop); but that did not work.
how to make the function stop working?
I want to make a button open a new scene,I have that working but it keeps looping,How to make the whole movie stop at the end of scene 2,Ive tried putting stop(); but that brings errors,I want to stop the whole movie, How would i do this?

I have a function which makes a call to the server to load some financial data. This data is then displayed in a grid. In order to keep displaying the latest data I keep making this server call (every 30 secs). I'm using a Timer object to do this. The problem I have is that I have to wait 30 secs when the application starts for financial data to be displayed, what I'd like to happen is that the load data call is made, then start the update timer. Is there a way to set this up or shall I use to data load calls, one to get the initial data, then one to get the updates, which is made every 30 secs?

View 14 RepliesBasically I have a flash swf file (main.fla/main.swf) with 4 different movie clips.I figured out how to make the movie clip stop on rollover but now I am stuck on trying to load some xml content in my flash swf file.I have loaded xml in flash before but for some reason I cannot figure this one out. I have included my flash source file for anyone that can help.You can download it here:
[url]
Also Included is a file called "main-1-visual.gif" in a the folder called "What it should look like". I numbered the xml variables that need to be loaded:
1. The logo at the top
2. The title
3. The subtitle
4. The content text
5. Another title
6. Related links (This needs to link to specific URL links)
What I am trying to accomplish is this:
When you rollover one of the molecules (balls) that specific movie clip pauses (This works fines right now). BUT I also need to have a xml file specific to that molecule (ball) to load on the right side (see image "main-1-visual.gif") in it's appropriate movie clip. I also need the loaded xml to stay active until you rollover a different molecule (ball).
I have a movie clip called Lion Beginning_mc, inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.
For example:
Key Frame number 01 - Dog
Key Frame number 02 - Cat
Key Frame number 03 - Mouse
I want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.

How can you change the interval passed to the setInterval function?
I've tried for hours but it seems to trigger the function a million times.[code]...
I've got function that I call using setInterval. The problem is I need to call that function on an interval faster than 1 millsec.
View 4 Replieswhat i'm trying to achieve is to be able to create a random time frame betw 1 to 8 seconds before it calls a movie clip from the library.
Code:
function layEgg(hens) {
//set random time in sec
var timeGap = Math.floor(Math.random()*(8+1))+1;
[Code]....
however the time interval is not working. i managed to trace the random timeGap.
How do I pass a variable to function when calling it with interval.
This:
Code:
doFlip(1);
to something like this:
Code:
myInterval = setInterval(doFlip(1),2000);
