I've just created a draft animation demonstration of a unique analogue clock [URL]. What I would like to achieve is to also have a digital clock just below it. So when you roll over the analogue clock, the animation starts for both clocks. When you roll off the animation stops leaving the time displayed exactly the same on both clocks. So basically both the clocks run simultaneously (speeded up). How I might achieve this?
View 4 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)

i want to make an analog clock in flash, but i only see tutorials for that using AS2.
or... i saw a clock but the code was in AS2... can anyone tll me how can i pass this code to AS3...
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {time = new Date();mil = time.getMilliseconds();s = time.getSeconds();m = time.getMinutes();h = time.getHours();seconds._rotation = s*6+(mil/(1000/6));minutes._rotation = m*6+(s/10);hours._rotation = h*30+(m/2);}
I made a flash movie. I create a analog clock separately with AS3 which worked perfectly - hour and minute hand is moving. I need to import the analog clock into my movie. After import, the clock hour and minute hand does no move anymore - I believe AS3 is not executed. May I know what is the proper way to insert a AS3 object such as an analog clock into a movie scene that last for eg. 10 secs? (the hour and minute hand move in this 10sec frame before the whole clock disappear).

View 10 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'm trying to get a flash clock (with the clock hands ticking over) to work with server side time, not client side time
I understand I need "loadvars" within the actionscript for it to get time from the server but I really don't know where to start with the scripting.
I also understand I need a php script to interact with the flash file. Would the gettime.php script suffice?
I have a simple analog clock, but I want it to show how long time store is open. so I quess there have to have some kind of transparent circle, which goes along as clock's pointers how to execute this?

minutes = time.getMinutes()

View 5 RepliesI 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:
<code>
var dice:Loader = new Loader();

I need to create a clock with hour and minute hands that can be repositioned when the mouse is down and stop when the mouse is up.

I have a for loop that runs depending on the length of an XML file. What I want to do is create a unique text field for each run through of the loop, and give it it's own position on the stage, and finally assign it the text from an external text file that is specified in the XML file. Everything I know how to do except creating the textfields.

for(var i:int = 0; i < blogXMLList.length(); i++)
{
var txtHolder:TextField = new TextField();

This code creates only one Text Field, but then replaces it's text with new text with each run through.
How do I create a new arraycollection that can generate a unique variable name? Like:
AC+nu as in AC1:ArrayCollection
AC+nu as in AC2:ArrayCollection
AC+nu as in AC3:ArrayCollection
AC+nu as in AC4:ArrayCollection
nu++;
I want to create object instances based on user input but I can't figure out how to get a unique variable name for each instance (I want to be able to get at and manipulate them later). In other languages I would usually just use an eval() function to pull this off.

I'm currently making a TicTacToe game to help build my Flash experience and I've come across an issue. I'll try and explain what everything is doing in my code thus far. I know it's a lot of code for a forum post, but I don't want to leave anything out as someone may have a really nice way to work with this.
Code:
this will be switched to a user defined value (1 or 2), depending on which person the user decides should go first. currently it is set up for the 2nd player to go first
new _global.whosTurn();
_global.whosTurn = 2;
//this sets all cells DISABLED so, at the beginning of the game, any cell is selectable
cell1_isUsed = false;
cell2_isUsed = false;[code].....
Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

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 have been looking at tutorials and forums for almost three hours now. I am building an analog timer that goes to two minutes. I've setup a timer and have attempted to get the second hand to rotate as the timer continues. So far all it does is move that initial rotation. It looks like only 15 degrees or so. and it doesn't seem to matter what numbers I change it only goes to that 15 degrees.
Here is my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
var twoMinuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 120);
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void

I'm trying to recreate an animation like this in Flash CS5. Is it possible to simply lock the push rod (red) to the rotating wheel (yellow) so that I don't have to go through frame by frame repositioning it?Is it possible to have the push rod slide through the slider tube automatically (Green) again so I don't have to reposition frame by frame.
