How I can create a timer that will start from 00:00 and will stop at 3:25 or 2:53 and etc and stuck in that position? And I want it to be in a format of 59:59 (60 minutes and 60 seconds) and NOT in 99:99.
How would I get a timer function to reset after no buttonswere pressed for 3 minutes?Right now I have my timer starting on load, and then when abutton is pressed, it stops it. I basically want to restart itafter 3 minutes.
the code I have: [PHP]var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, playSlides);
I have an application in which when i click on a particular tab an HTTPService having id="service" is sent. This service calls a php file which in turn extracts data from a table and return as xml string to Flex. Flex then use DataGrid's dataprovider attribute to show the data in the dataGrid.Can i have a functionality of a timer which will call the HTTPService again and again after each 5 minutes?
Before I get started, I would like to point out that I'm just getting started in flash, so this may very well fit better under the newbies forum. The goal: I'm trying to put together a countdown timer, which can count down from preset amount of time to zero, then trigger an announcement event, as well as an event at 30 seconds, 1, 2, and 3 minutes left. Later on I hope to add in a setup for this to turn into a Debate timer with start/stop/next speech button, but for now, I just need to figure out the timer bit.
I'm on the last stage of developing my game, and I need to display a countdown timer, lasting 3 minutes. I want to display the time counting down in the format "3:00" and then when the timer hits the full 3 minutes an event is fired and it stops, and I display a few other things along with it in the same function. The difficulty I have is actually doing the bit where I display the timer and update it accordingly. If there is any genius out there who can do this (In AS3) then you are my new best friend. I only have a few hours till my submission deadline, and this thing is KILLING ME!!! hypothetically.
Any tutorials or source files for the timer. Just a simple timer that counts down by minutes and seconds for 10 minutes. The closest I got are a bunch of codes that I'm not really good at translating. Just a simple timer that will trigger the end quiz page when time is up.
I'm creating an online power hour application. And i need to have a timer to alert the user every sixty seconds for 60 minutes.. Should be simple enough. I'm just having some difficulty.
I am looking for a countdown timer what will countdown mins + seconds. All Ican find is a countdown to an event christmas day etc, but this wont work for what I need. I need a timer countdown that wont start again everytime a user enters the game I need a timer so all users enter the game at exactly the same time to the second, I've tried to do it using as3 php mysql but there is to much time difference between users how will I do this.
What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
I'm wondering if there is a script that can tell the movie to go to a "time is up" frame after 2 minutes has gone by? Or do I have to do it the crappy way and literally create the necessary amount of frames that would take up the full 2 minutes manually?
everything is in the main timeline. I've tried a few different ways including setting how many times to run the timer but nothing seems to stop it if I use the gotoandstop.
AS3, Flash CS3
var moveTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000); moveTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveItOut); moveTimer.start();
It should play 10 seconds and then go to the next scene.
PHP Code:
function timer(){ seconds=seconds-1; if (seconds < 0) {
[Code].....
Well that works, but when I click on the play-again-button in the next scene, it won't play for 10 seconds (but less). I think the timer goes on without stopping. How can I stop the timer function when I move to the next scene?
I have a .fla where the timeline is controlled by a timer located on frame 1 in a layer named "Actions".Essentially every seven seconds it advances to the next frame by way of the variable nextItem. There are 9 frames, then it loops back to 1. This all works fine.The problem lies in starting and stopping the timer ONLY AFTER the movie has looped back to frame 1. Not only does it not stop on MOUSE_MOVE but then on MOUSE_LEAVE the timer seems to get faster .. or jump through the frames.
In my game I've got a scene where you get 3 seconds to click a button otherwise its Game Over, only problem is my code only works if I press the button straight away.
During some testing I was waiting 2 seconds then pressing the button, but when I go to the next part of the game, it will carry on to GameOver as if the Timer has not stopped.[code]...
I would like to run a programme whereby I press a key that starts the timer and then press another key to stop the timer,the delay will be displayed and used to move a object on the stage dependant on the delay.
I made a simple count up timer, it is working just fine but I would like to have the %-sign next to the numbers so it would look as a preorder. But as I add "%" sign to the function, the counting never stops (at 100% any more), and continues counting.
var count:Number = 1;var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10); myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);myTimer.start(); function countdown(event:TimerEvent):void{
I have a project in which the main swf loads another into it. The swf that gets loaded has an xml driven slideshow that runs on a timer. To view what the timer was doing in the output I traced the name of each photo as the timer fired. When I unload the swf I've noticed that though it appears to be gone from the stage the timer continues to fire and the images are listed in the output. I know that I can stop a timer by using
ActionScript Code: photoTimer.stop(); but I can't figure out how to stop the timer in an externally loaded swf. I'm using this code to remove the swf
ActionScript Code: this.mc_content_box.mc_placeholder.removeChild(contentLoader); I'm worried that the timer may be loading the photos in the background somehow and increasing the workload.
I have a swf with a slideshow that runs on a timer that I'm loading into my main swf. When I remove the swf from the main swf the timer continues to load the images for the slideshow even though I can't see them on the screen. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to stop the timer once the swf has been unloaded?
I got some problems with removing a child from stage. The timer is still active I try to get rid of it with a killMe function. Called by REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event. But it doesn't work.
I'm trying to do a simple game like tetris.I have a class "tile" that have got timer event, and every 50ms move my tile.y+=1. So every time I call for a new tile, it will go down until reach bottom of a stage. And the thing is, when the tile will hit another tile, he is still going down until bottom, becouse I dont know how to myTimer.stop(); in the tile class from the root.
I want to start a timer when the game begins that counts up, but doesnt actually display the time during gameplay, but stops when a player has won and the screen goes to the player wins screen. From there I want that time to display in a text variable along with all the other statistics I have generated. The timer will also need a reset function when starting up the game again.
