Output Timer End Time To Text Box?
Apr 27, 2011
I'm working on updating a quiz game my employer has. One problem I encountered was that the timer that runs during the "exam" mode of the game wouldn't work, so I found a work around by replacing it with a timer that did. All that it is, is a dynamic text box on the first frame of the questions, with the following script embedded in the start button to make it run:
start_time = getTimer();
countdown = 7200000;
onEnterFrame = function () {
elapsed_time = getTimer()-start_time;
[Code]....
When the game ends following the completion of question # 20 (there's about 200+ questions programed into it, with the 20 chosen at random) the game is redirected to a frame with results page; and here the time stops, using this code: count=(stop); Rudimentary, but effective - at least in stopping the timer. On this page is the option to save the results, with input found on this page (score, name, date and time completed) being output on another page, in a form the user can save or print off. What I can't figure out is how to output the elapsed time paused in the resutls screen, to dynamic text box in the save form. What script do I want, to send this information to the proper text box at the end?

I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?

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 have a C executable (named myprogram). When I run it by ./myprogram I get some output statements on the standard output of my Linux shell. I used run.php to get access to whatever is being printed to the standard output:
#run.php
<?php
$output = shell_exec('./myprogram');
echo $output;
?>
Then I called an HTTPService having id="service" to access this run.php file and I also set the text attribute of a TextArea to {service.lastResult}. When I run my Flex app, the interface kind of halts for a moment and then the TextArea displays all the 20 lines at once. But if program is run from Linux shell they appear one by one. Is there a way by which I can display a line as soon as it gets printed to standard output? This will then make the TextArea show the output in real time.
Or is Flex unable to do this? Rather how can a PHP program achieve such effect i.e. showing, whatever is being printed on standard output, concurrently in the browser in real time? Myprogram outputs 20 lines each after some microseconds. I want only the first line of standard output to appear in TextArea of Flex or in the browser (but in real time) while the program may then continue running the program.

Does the getTimer function affect the output time? so it's seen different in each country? I've created adigital clock using the time received from a php. Customers see a different time than mine. (php file works perfectly and output the time in my timezone).

Is it somehow possible to output the traces in a deployed application to a display element?'m aware of the debug deploy in Flash Builder, but unfortunately I can't convince my iPad to work with that,Edit: On second thought, a full console output would probably be best. The flash console kostik suggested looks pretty good, so making it display the console output would be ideal.

how to set variable time for a single timer, like I first setup this timer:
private function timer():void{
var randomTimer:Timer=new Timer(time,0);
randomTimer.addEventListener("timer", somefunction);
[Code].....
So how can I influence the time inside the timer? Do I create a global timer, remove the listener and recall the timer function? Would this work since the timer has already been declared, I a re-declare a timer?

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'm new to concepts of AS 3 but i'm stumbling through it.So i'm looking to the Fourm for some Mentor ship
I have a simple Regular Flash slide show with 4 slides and an intro label. I need my Intro label to have a Timer or Delay event that holds on the "Intro" Label for a certain amount of time before the Timer expires and calls a function that tells FLASH to go on to slide "Slide 1" label.
The trick is i need this delay to run everytime the Timeline is at the "Intro" label as i have an animation playing while the timer or delay event counts down and finally at end goes to label "Slide 1" Can anyone share some simple code snipets that would point me in the right direction to accomplish this using AS3 ?

I am using the Timer class to time events. Although, I am not sure I have it set up correctly as after a few seconds the events start to get synchronized. first two, then three, etc. Here is an example of the code:

Does anyone know what could be possibly interfering with the Timer for this to happen? It mainly starts happening after you click on an mc and it is removed from the stage (this is for a game).

I have to make a timer that starts off set at one minute and plays an animation mapped to the time remaining in the timer. I need it to start and stop on a button press, and once it has gone through the minute, I need to be able to add time to it and start it again (with the animation mapped to the new amount of time) by clicking and dragging (or maybe with a slider). I have the basic functions down, but I can't figure out how to get it to start over with the time added by dragging. Here is my code so far:

I'm trying to build a simple timer application in as3 that counts down and then plays a gongsound. easy right?There are 3 buttons that should change the time from 2,3 and 4 minutes. Default time is 3 mins but the buttons never change the time and I can't figure out why, the trace tells me the boolean values have changed but the time is always the same..To save time I changed the times to 3,5 and 7 secs. here is the code :

Maybe I'm blind (or just dumb) but I've been searching through the API trying to find out how to get the time elapsed for a Timer object. I want to, at any given time, find out EXACTLY how much time(in milliseconds) has passed since a Timer Object has been started.

I have looked at the Timer Class documentation and there does not seem the Timer Class provides a method or variable that returns the remaining time. I was wondering if there is a way to determine how much time is remaining after a timer has been started?

I plan to use a timer event to fire every second (for a clock application).
I may be wrong, but I assume that there will probably be a (very slight) sync issue with the actual system time. For example the timer event might fire when the actual system time milliseconds are at 500 instead of 0 (meaning the seconds will be partially 'out of phase' if you will).
Is there a way to either synchronize the timer event to the real time or get some kind of system time event to fire when an second ticks in AS3?
Also if I set a Timer to fire every 1000 milliseconds, is that guaranteed or can there be some offset based on the application load?

I created a game in AS3 using a tutorial written for AS2 but I can't get the timer working correctly. The game contains 3 frames, a start screen, game loop, and end screen. the timer starts on frame 2, and counts down (tested this with a trace). When the timer reaches 0 I want to go to frame 3 which is the end game screen but my code isn't working.
var fl_SecondsToCountDown:Number = 30;
var fl_CountDownTimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000, fl_SecondsToCountDown);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_CountDownTimerHandler);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.start();
theTimer.text = String(fl_SecondsToCountDown);
[Code] .....

If I understand this correctly, most timer examples I've seen in AS3 are limited by a certain number of occurrences. Such as:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 2);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah);
timer.start();
[Code]....
Where it would fire twice (again, if I interpreted this correctly)
So if what I assumed is true, is there a way to make a timer where it would continuously keep track of time?
