Actionscript 3 :: Make Progress Bar Change Value With Specific Speed Depending On Time Cumulated?
Mar 4, 2012
I have a progress bar as a healthbar in a game. The healthbar regenerates 10 pr millisecond for now because i like the smoothness. But if the delay increases it would take a lot longer to regenerate.
Aren't there any formular to calculate some kind of factor for this? so the lifebar would regenerate within a constant time no matter what. If the delay is 2 seconds it would just make the regen more choppy and if delay is 1 millisecond it would just update more.
I'm trying to make a progress bar that moves from 0 to 100 over a specific period of time. This time will be dynamic. It might be 10 seconds and it might be 13.2 seconds or whatever. The overall width of the progress bar will never change but the amount of time it takes to go from 0 to 100 will.
i use a code in order to have the time who run during my animation. but when i use setinterval, the speed can't change. how can i change the speed of my 'time'
I'm using ActionScript 2 and I already placed the progress bar on the stage assigned it the instance name ProgressBar0 but i'm confused on how to give it a label, have it start at a certain time and end at a certain and show the percentage complete in the label.
I'm trying (and struggling) to get my head around AS3 and am building a flash webpage. I have 2 layers in the timeline, each containing a movie clip matching the page size with instance names backgroundDay and backgroundNight. What I'm wanting is for the background to change for the day and night, so that from 18:00 to 06:00 the alpha of backgroundDay becomes 0 to show backgroundNight behind.
I'm attaching the file so that you guys can see that? pretty basic. My main problem is to find out how can the mouse check the mouse position on stage and make the coverflow animate and the movieclip change angle depending on the side, I have to animate only 5 itens, here?s the AS:
I want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.
Is there any possibility to make a movieclip visible for a specific time (e.g. 5sec.)? I want to make "srch275" show for 5 seconds and then make it disapear.
sruch_btn.onRelease = function () {if (cosearchbx.text == "APPLE"){srch275._visible = true;}
I have a movie clip on my scene which has a speed applied to it making it move across the screen. This is duplicated when it reaches the other end of the screen.On my scene I have some action script which is acting as a timer. After a set time I want it to increase the speed of the movie clips, making the game become "harder". I seem to be able to manipulate the alpha of my movie clips but can't seem to trigger the speed increase.If i use a setInterval it seems to trigger the speed increase but it does it each time the movie clip is duplicated (so the delay resets, it does not change once and apply throughout)However, where I am changing the alpha I cannot seem to change the speed.
I have 4 arrays named array1 to array4, is there any way to reference them dynamically? What I mean is if I have for example
var currentValue:int = 3;
and I want to be able to access a specific array depending on that value, is there an easy way to do that in AS3?In as2 you could do something along the lines of
I need to make a function (inside Flash) that will let a swf find out what date it is (each time it is loaded from a server) and then - according to the date - display a frame designated to that date. Optionally, I could have the swf load another swf based on the date.Originally I had planned to make some php wrap-around that would do the loading of different swf's for me - but this is not an option since the swf may soon be uploaded to a server that I cannot feed with php-documents (I don't get access for that - swf only!)So now I must find a way to do this within the swf. But as of right now I am clueless.
One thing I did learn during my googling the past many hours is that the "Date class" in Actionscript is risky - in that it 'reads' what date the end user has on his/her machine. So in the event that some user has the date misconfigured that will screw up what my swf will display.Therefore I am hoping that I could somehow do a variation of php's "echo date" and get the date from the server - but inside Flash. And then have that bit of data call for a certain frame/scene/loaded swf.
I was wondering if nayone knows how to have an animation play depending on the day of the month it is. I am working on an advent calander for a client and it would be nice if an animation would play depending on the day of the month.
How would I do this in AS3? I want to call a function and run it with specific properties depending on which button is clicked.So how do the "_this" statement work in as3? in as2 I would write something like this and "this" would stand for the instance name:
i want to create a sine wave and its speed will change depends on change in freequency and wavelength . and stop the wave movement when we click stop button.[code]
i need to change the colour of a graphic in a specific movie in a specific frame. if i have a movie clip instance-named "sidetext" thats 15 frames long, and i want a graphic in the movie, called "letterp" to change to one of four colours that i want it to randomly at frame 10 and stay that colour uintil frame 15, how can i do this?
what i want to do is create a site that knows what the time is in your area via your pc clock hopefully and depending on the time puts a different background image up e.g. night time = night picture daytime = sunny daytime pic
I currently have a slideshow for my restaurant that plays all day, is it possible to have 3 slideshows that will play depenind on the time, lets say slideshow 1 plays fom 12pm-3pm, slideshow 2 plays from 3-4 and then slideshow 3 plays from 4 til 11pm?
I download a tutorial to make a digital clock now what I want to do is make my movieclips go to a different frame depending of the hour. I want to make that effect of day/night.
i have a flash movie that has a clock , slideshow and text scroller that plays all day in my resaurant. I want to change it so that it plays a movie with special offers in the mornings, then plays a movie saying we're reopening at 4.15 in the afternoon and then play another movie wit clock/slideshow inteh evening. How can i set my flash code to play these 3 different movies at the specified times automatically.
can someone give me an idea how I would use a function to enlarge and change the alpha of a button but make it span over a period of time like it was an animation.a long time ago on gear78.com I think he used functions to make his buttons do what they did and it was badass. if I find another site I will post a link. if you don't know what the heck I am talking about tell me and I will try and explain it more.
I'm building a site that will change the background depending time of day. I do want to show the time in the top of my page. What are good codes for showing a time and date in Flash and what would I use to change background depending on if the time is past 7PM or before.
Example. If the time is before 7PM I want it to show a background with a clear blue sky. If not then the background will be a starry night. I'm using CS3.
I having a hard time on a small task that I thought was easy to accomplish, but it is taking me longer than expected and not the results I am wanting.I am developing a shooting game. I have a hero that can shoot only so often (once every half second for example). I am trying to scale a MovieClip depending on how much time is left to be able to fire again.
So when the hero shoots the gun, the MovieClip will have a scale of 0. When 250 milliseconds has elapsed, the MovieClip's scale should be at .5, assuming the gun can only shoot every half second.
Can anyone provide code on how to accomplish this? This is what I have to keep track of when the hero can shoot next,
What I want is a hint how to make a specific thing happen while clicking a specific button. Like "if I click button 1, do this". Would like to use this script though I'm gonna add buttons over time and this is an easy way to have the functionality working.
Here's the code:
Attach Code
function hitButton(btn) { btn.onRollOver = function() { this.colorTo (0xC4006A);
I have several textfileds in a movie clip and I want to change text in a textfiled depending on which textfield you have clicked on. So if I have clicked on at textfiled named "text1" i want:
[Code]...
And then will text1 have the same text as "inputfield", but this dosen't seems to work only if you had a textfield called "textvariable" but that is not what I want. So any ideas how you can make this function?
