Flash - Adding Time To Timer / Counter
Nov 28, 2011
I've looked all over the web and everyone can teach you how to make a timer for your game or a countdown, but I can't seem to find out how to add time to an already counting timer. So here is my counter class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code] .....
That works without any issues or problems and just keeps counting upwards at a speed of 100ms, what I want to know is how to add say 30 seconds if something happens in my game, say you kill an enemy for example.

i need to make a timer or counter?it is going to be for a project were people donate money to help kids in need, so i need to make something that looks like it is real time adding up the amount so far donated. there is no way for me to give the real amount because it would be changing so fast so we just want something that say starts out at a number and goes up by 5 cents an hour.

I'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments 3 times a second, starting from a specified value (so viewer would see 3.1, then 3.2...etc.)
Here's the code so far:
var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0
counterText.text=(String(counter));
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
[Code]....
What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.

In my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.

I'm working with the php hit counter here on the Kirupa site and wondered if there was a way to test the data in the txt file during the loop to determine playback of a movieclip.... in other words, when the loop starts, a variable is created storing the number in the textfile... the next time the loop repeats, the textfile is checked and matched against the variable... if the variable differs from the textfile, the variable value is changed to match the textfile, and a movieclip plays to signal that this change in the textfile has occurred.

I have a preloader on the first frame. It works great, with no problems and it's loading images from a directory. I would like to add to it an image counter, not only the bytes that are loading.
Actionscript Code:
stop();
// array of your movieclips$
mcs = ["page_1.jpg", "page_2.jpg", "page_3.jpg", "page_4.jpg", "page_5.jpg", "page_6.jpg", "page_7.jpg", "page_8.jpg", "page_9.jpg", "page_10.jpg", "page_11.jpg", "page_12.jpg", "page_13.jpg", "page_14.jpg", "page_15.jpg", "page_16.jpg", "page_17.jpg", "page_18.jpg", "page_19.jpg", "page_20.jpg",
[Code] .....
So, basically I would like to add another dynamic text box in which - as the images are loaded - I would like to have a counter for the images.

Is it possible to add kerning (letterspacing) in-between the numbers in a date counter? For example lets say I have a date counter that counts the dates of a month (1,2,3,etc...) and I have two circles sitting side by side not overlapping. How would i go about adding a space in-between the numbers to have the number on the left in the left circle and the number on the right in the right circle? Someone mentioned using strings but how would I go about doing that? Here is the current code that I am using:

have an odometer type thing, that would go up 9 times a second, and it would go up whether you are on the site or not.So if I started it now, and checked back in on the site in a couple of days it would be at say 300,000, and then I would check back in a couple days later and it might be at 600,000.How would I go about doing this. I have an mc with the actual digit animations..

I am sure this is simple, but cannot remember how it is done. I just need to rotate an item counter clockwise 1/2 a time. The rotate option only accepts integers and when I do a motion tween it goes clockwise.

Any Way to make a gameplay time counter? I did make one but it only showed seconds and milliseconds (with gettimer())). As soon as the player hit the button "submit" the time has to start to count. As the player reached his maximum turns the game goed to the next frame and the timer should top. The game starts over (from frame2) so the timer has to begin over again.

I asked for help earlier with a banner and a button that counts roll overs. I am having an issue where the first movie clips in the array play much more often than the others. When I mouse over every couple of seconds or so, only the red mc plays. When I go a little faster the red and blue mcs play back and forth, and when I do a bunch of mouse overs really fast, then all 3 play in order. What part of the code has something to do with amount of time between roll overs? I want it so that even if I roll over once and then again a minute later, I want the second movie clip in the array to play instead of the first again. Here is the code I have in the first frame of the main timeline, as well as a stop(); in the first frame of each mc.

I am using the attachMovie script in as2 and I want to use a counter variable to increase the depth each time so it doesn't replace the last one. Every tutorial i've seen for attachMovie mentions this but I can't find any information on how.
Also is it possible to use a different counter variable to change to y position of the attached movieclip, so that it adds another beneath the last every time.

I'm using the Actionscript Timer class. What happens if I run a function every 3 seconds, but the function takes 4 seconds to complete? Does the Timer object queue up events? I guess this must happen if only 1 thread is being used?

I am looking for a component/tutorial/movie that is a FLASH countdown timer/clock that you can change the targeted time on the fly using xml. So, the clock might countdown for 4 days, 3 hours and 19 minutes to an event. but then halfway through i decide i want to change the event to a day later, so i need to us xml to dynamically change the clock to add 24 hours or whatever onto the clock without having to go back into the flash file.
Additionally, this flash file will be part of a flash screensaver that has xml driven photo gallery in the background. this photo gallery i can do, but i am looking for a flash countdown with xml access. I am willing to pay/donate for it if there are no free ones available.

I've created a timer to count elapsed time on a flash player of mine, I can't figure out how to control it though. For example I need the pause/ play buttons to (you guessed it) pause and continue the count.The dynamic text field that keeps count is simply called "count" and the pause button is btn_pause and play button is btn_play
Code below.
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;[code].....

I would like to add a timer that keeps track of total time and also current time that runs next to my seek bar component for my flash movie. How can I do this? For example: 1:11 | 2:04 ... the 1:11 displays the current time of the movie and the 2:04 would represent the total time of the video.

I have a flash banner and I am looking to insert a count down time and when the timer runs out I want the timer to fade out and start a new movie clip.
PHP Code:
//Create your Date() object
var endDate:Date = new Date(2010,5,15);
//Create your Timer object
//The time being set with milliseconds(1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

I've been trying to make my own flash game based on the kirupa tutorial: url...My scripting is very similar to the scripting in the tutorial, but I obviously adapted it to my own design. Now I�m trying to add a time limit, which when the time reaches 0 it jumps to the time up screen. I have spent two whole days searching on google, trying loads of suggestions, trying to figure this out myself.[code]This scripting works on a test page (i.e. away from the actual game) but when I try to add it to my game it deletes the main movieclip (in this case a tank) which is used to play the game.
