View 2 RepliesI've checked the forum a couple times, couldn't find an answer.this file gets local time, and then adds 5 minutes to it, problem is that when the minutes gets to 60 it continues because it's getting the actual time from the first time and just adding 5 to it
View 2 RepliesI am working in Flash5. My problem is that I want my animation to run after every 5 minutes. I mean that when I run my fla file, it should load my animation when 5 minutes has passed, then there should be a break and screen should become blank , and then again after 5 minutes it should appear and run. I want this process to keep on happening.
if this is not possible ,can that be done through HTML code as i want to put it on my web page,what would be the html coding in that case. An IMPORTANT point is that, I want the coding to be in FLASH5,if done in flash. If done in the form of fla file,

I'm trying to sync video with content. I can use cuepoints in Flash CS5 for that, or I can use FLVplayercaptions to sync video with caption. Is there a way to know the current time of playback?
View 1 RepliesI'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?
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know an url where I can get the current time as either a string or a number? Or how do I solve the problem that flash can't create an external time? Or does anybody have a

I have no problem getting the current minute using the .getMinutes command, but I would like to use that number in an if statement:

Does anyone have a script for current date?? like for example todays date i nthis format: December 15, 2005
View 14 RepliesI've been trying to create a script that pulls the current time and turns it into a variable, the problem is the variable keeps updating as the time changes, where as I need it to remain static as the time that is was when the variable was first created...it's just a simple:
Code:
var theTime = today.getTime();
I've got this code that displays the time but, I want the time to display dynamically, updated by the user's sytem clock so it always displays the "current time".
myNow=new Date();
myDay=myNow.getDay();
myMonth=myNow.getMonth();
myDate=myNow.getDate();

I'm attempting to use Flash for displaying "scrolls" on our educational access channel. I have an announcement on each frame, which has a 7 sec delay, and a footer that displays the current time. What I would like to do, using the vars the Hours and the Minutes trigger a command that at a set time, like 8:20, it would jump to another swf file that might contain a video playback component. I can't seem to come up with the right combination to trigger it a set time. Here is what the frame 1 AS contains.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var wT:uint = 1000; //wT = waitingTime
var ttL:uint = 1; //ttL = times to loop
function customTimer (timeToWait:int = 1):void {

I am however hosting an event at the end of this month to which I need countdown timer that counts down 30 minutes from when I begin playing the movie.
00:00:30:00 -> 00:00:29:55 and so on until the movie reaches 00:00:00:00.
If possible.. I'd like that movie to open an additional flash movie once that timer has reached 0, if that can be done. - But for now I'd just be happy with a simple countdown timer that counts down from 30 minutes.
Now I HAVE tried to utilize the various tutorials that are about, the problem is they all seem to be WAY too complex for what I'm looking to do here...As I said all I'm looking for is a flash document that will countdown from 30 minutes once i've opened the movie..
I'm having an incredibly annoying problem with Flash CS5 on my Mac that is making the software absolutely unusable.
If I open a previously worked on file and start deleting layers and moving keyframes, the screen never redraws the interface. As in, if I delete a layer, I don't actually see it go away. It's still there in the interface. Minimizing/maximizing does nothing to refresh the interface.
Since the beginning of nov.2010, it crashes after some time of use. More precisely the toolbar disappears, then reappears, some GUI elements blink. It's not related to a specific user action. When this happens, closing flash is difficult (the window remains here). When switching to another app, some Flash parts remains The graphical memory seems saturated. Launching another app is met with a window error message. A windows restarts becomes necessary.This problem arises only in Flash, and with no other apps from CS3 suite.2 colleagues of mine has the same issue, also in the last weeks (= nov 2010). We work in separate places. We didn't exchange files.We are on Win XP Home Edition, Dell computer.They have more recent PCs than mine (which clearly meets the CS3 requirements), with enough memory,etcOne colleague has reinstalled winXP. The problem arised again, but I don't kow when. He also tried CS4 and CS5 and had the same problem.Today he un-installed all Adobe products with this utility:
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to solve an AS 1.0 elapsed minutes. In MS Excell this should be easy but i'm having a hard time in Flash MX. I have an equation such as this:
Start: 1/28/08 9:00 AM
End: 1/28/08 10:19 AM
Duration: 79 mins.
In Excell I can plot this easily such that if Start is in R23 and End is in R25 my equation would be:
R25-R23*1440
and I get the 79 mins as a result.
i have had cs4 for a long time now, and yesterday it suddenly took flash 10 minutes to open a document. i have loaded different documents to see what is the problem and found out it was the documents containing a lot of code (on frame1) that made him almost freeze. it takes ages to open medium size .as files, and even editing normal stage objects takes about 5 times longer. flash takes about 25% of cpu. i reinstalled, restarted, cleared aso, nothing.
View 2 RepliesHow to fix date to retrieve minutes/hours with zeros ?
E.g. it's 05:09 AM >
trace(_date.getHours()+":"+_date.getMinutes()); //5:9
But I want 05:09 instead of 5:9 - so how to add zeros?
var _date = new Date();
_min = _date.getMinutes();
//fix date:
var _str:String = _min.toFixed(1);
_min = Number(_str);
trace(_date.getHours()+":"+_date.getMinutes());
= 5:9 ....
I made a flash video jukebox, so it reads a dynamic playlist of F4V files for hours. Everything works well but after about 45 min the sound stops and after 2 hours the flash player plug in crashes. It seems like the cache is not accepting more F4V videos and then crashes. If I auto-refresh the browser every 2 hours it works but I would like to avoid having to refresh the browser and just clear the flash player cache if that's where the F4V go? I can't find any info about where the F4V files go when you play them!
Frame 1 gives the variable vidReference the value of the video file name:
VidReference = trackToPlay;
Frame 2 does the playing:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
nc.connect(null);
[Code] .....
This is the function that detects when video is done playing, still on frame 2:
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
switch (event.info.code) {
case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound": newTrack();
break;
case "NetStream.Play.Stop": newTrack();
break;
}}
And the function newTrack() is just giving the variable trackToPlay a value (the file name of the next video). And then says to gotoAndPlay frame 1, so it kind of reinitializing the player. The objects are re declared in frame 2, is that the problem here?

View 2 RepliesI've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?
