Expire Shared Object After Certain Amount Of Time Passed?
Jul 27, 2006
I have a flash movie on my index page but as the user navigates through the site and then goes back to the home page, I don't want the intro to replay. I have fixed that using shared object so that if it has already played, it skips to the end of the animation...here is my code:
function VisitCheck() {
var myLocalSO = sharedobject.getLocal("visitRecord");
if (myLocalSO.data.visited == null) {
myLocalSO.data.visited = 1;
gotoAndPlay(3);
trace("visit 1");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("visit2");
}}
VisitCheck();
Works great, except now, the intro animation on the index page NEVER plays again; I would rather have the cookie expire after the user closes the window or a certain amount of time has passed (say 30 minutes).

I'm looking for a way to play flash animated content once ( even as the user navigates to different HTML pages with similar flash content) and expire after a set amount of time or after the browser is closed. I'm aware I could use a shared object for this but can't seem to find info about how to clear them at browser session end.

I've noticed that some programmers animate objects based on the difference in time. I am not sure why or even if this is logical. Does anyone know the significance? Below is a snippet of code that explains what I mean:

I need to make a local shared object (or javascript cookie function- below) that I can use to calculate the time since an ad was last loaded. It's an expanding ad, and I only want it to expand once every 2 hours. (Trying to keep the expanding-annoyance to a minimum!) I understand the basics of creating an "lso" but the action script for retrieving the time, placing it as a variable in the lso, and later retrieving it to figure the time is well beyond me. I considered a normal browser cookie, set to delete after the session, bypassing all time calculations... Forcing javascript to create a cookie ONLY when flash tells it to (after the ad has expanded) is tripping me up and creating a function to check for the cookie on the first frame to decide whether or not to continue is also beyond my simple animation skills.

I created a very simple experiment to attempt to access the same shared object in Flash Player and AIR.
A Flash SWF creates a local shared object.
A AIR application (being tested from CS3 or installed) opens the same shared object.
The data does not persist. Is this theoretically possible?

I have a piece of code, and in that function i call to another function that has 3 parameters.now i've decided that i want that last function to be called after a couple of secs, instead of immedietly. I can't simply use a timer, and addEventlistener, because then i cant give parameters.

I am using CS3. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
On my loading page I have the following standard loading code:
Code:
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
[Code].....
Because on some connections this can take quite some time, I want a link to appear after a specififc amount of time, say 10 seconds? Kind of like a, "loading too slow? Click here for whatever."
how to accomplish this within this loading code and frame?

I've got a movieclip animation which is added to the stage at the start of the .swf.Its an introduction to the game, and the user is encouraged to click on the movieclip to start the animation.Once the animation is finished I'd like the movieclip to be removed from the stage.Do I need to setup some sort of event handler which listens out if the movieclip has finished then start a function once its finished to remove it from the stage? Which methods look out for movieclips finishing?

If you press a button within a certain amount of time, you are taken to lets say frame 2, if the time expires, you are taken to frame 3.I have used up all of my "i'm still a newbie at flash", so I'm just gonna tell you the truth and say that I haven't done any AS (or flash for that matter) in quite some time, so I guess I have to get busy and learning actionscript.

I was wondering, how do I display text for like 2 seconds or something, then make it disappear?Another question is, how do I set a timer that prevents a function from running within a time limit (2 seconds again) after it ran? Like if a function is triggered by a Key_DOWN, what would a code be to prevent it from running again until that 2 seconds is up? This question is for a 'reload' in a shooter. Is there any other way to approach this?

I have a movie clip loaded using action script 3 at the start of my animation, I want ito to end at the 120th frame. But I can't use the stop(); command because it will also stop the rest of my animations from the 121st frame onwards. how can I stop the movie clip without stopping the rest of my animations?

Right then I'm sure you guys can sort this out very simply. Basically I have this code that creates duplicate instances of a movie clip and puts them on stage with a few random settings where ever the mouse goes.This is cool but I want the duplicates to disappear after a certain amount of time (2-3 seconds or so) - or disappear when a certain amount of them have been placed on the stage.I have played around with the getTimer() function with no joy but I am not even sure if this is the right thing to use.
var num:Number = 0;
_root.onMouseMove=function() {
var temp = _root.attachMovie("flower","flower"+num++,_root.ge tNextHighestDepth());

I used the "loading random movie" tutorial (http:url....) to load 3 external movies. It worked great.But now, my client wants the movies to load one after the other. Each movie is interactive, but requires you to click on it, so it plays an intro and stops. Each movie is built exactly alike. So, I would like a movie to play, then stop for a certain length of time (long enough for the user to read some text). If after that length of time, the user does not intereact with the movie, then I want the next movie to play in it's place. If the user does interact with the movie, I want it to just stop at that movie.

I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
Code:
sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.
