Actionscript 3 :: Stopping A Function To Run More Than Once In A Period Of Time
Nov 12, 2010
I have this MouseEvent function that I have totally no idea why it fired twice. Is there a way I can disable the function in a period of time? I tried disabling the button, but seems like it directly called the function and does not trigger from the button.
Addition info:When I add in more object to the array, the function fired more time
The Class the handles the button
package classes
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....

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 am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

I have a simple app that stops on frame 1. There's a button that after clicking moves me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have another button to which I would like to add an eventhandler similar to the one for the first button - I am however unable to, as I get the following error :
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I tried to add the eventhandler after a certain period of time (with the use of a timer) and that works, but seems a totally dumb workaround - and the error obviously pops up because the code that tries to add the eventhandler launches before the second button is actually created. How should I solve such a scenario ? I tried to fiddle with other events like Event.ADDED and Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE but the first one seems sort of wild - it goes off every time I even wave my mouse cursor over the first button (why ?) and the second one doesn't go off at all when my app moves to frame 2 - shouldn't it trigger ?

I have an item that I want to appear on stage (see code below); but only for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds I want the object to disappear. I know that I can use removeChild to remove the object, but I don't know how to keep the object on the stage for a specific amount of time.
Here's the code:
stop();
//Add a movie clip to stage
var sample_mc:LibrarySymbol = new LibrarySymbol();

How do I rotate a movieclip 360 degrees over a period of time? Can I use "new tween" ? I am trying to rotate the movieclip while it is moving from position y to y+50 (this is done using new tween)

Im trying to have a small sized flv video that plays on top of another flv, the top one fades out. It technically works, but it randomly sometimes doesnt fully fade out. It would stop half way fading or just about gone but not quite or doesnt do it all.
75% of the time it works.Im wondering if flash balks at ram/processor usage and just quits fading, but cpu is only at 16 when it fades. Or if the tween class is buggy.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;[code]....
I originally had a timing code in there so it would fade out after a period of time, Ive removed it for simplicity. It still doesnt fade properly.

Basically im making a completely flash/as3 website.I have a transition effect which lasts 2 second which is triggered every time some buttons are clicked.
My problem... The transition effect includes variables for x,y, size etc etc and if the button is clicked again inside these 2 seconds these values have not reset to their starting values and the effect gets screwed up.
I know it is unlikely that a user will click another page within the 2 second bracket, but they may double click the button by accident or decide quickly they want another section (and be a fast clicker ) etc.Is there anyway to 'lock' these variables until my effect has completed ?

Is there a way to loop one frame after a certain period of time. I have only one frame in the timeline, and about 10 layers with a single frame containing a container to load external mcs. These frames are all lined up in one row and the mcs play after a certain number of seconds. The last layer containing my last mc that plays fades out to black and then nothing plays again but id like to have it so that all the mcs play again like the first time, like a loop.

I got this transition: [URL] (you need to wait a bit + reload). The pictures are coming via xml (same folder). How do I increase the length (time) in between the transitions? And Why does it stop after the first image and why does it chooose always a certain image to be the first one? why are there diff. behaviours on different systems (local <-> server; mac <-> pc;)
Code:
#initclip 1
ImageFader = function () {
this.__init__ ();
};
ImageFader.prototype = new MovieClip ();

I am working on an animated web banner. The specifications say that the animation must stop after 30 seconds but can resume on a mouse rollover. My animation is just a looping rotating circle created on the timeline. How can I get this looping animation to stop after 30 seconds? Also, is there a simple way to have the animation resume on a mouse rollover

I am developing a video player for FMS 3.0 and my client complains that when he leaves the player running overnight or after computer goes to sleep when he comes back the elapsed time displayed as NaN and when he tries to play, nothing happens. Why is this happening? Does it mean that the connection with the FMS dropped and I have to reconnect? How can test for the dropped connection?

I have a flash application. I'm trying to send users text messages via php after they did certain things on the flash.
For example,
Text user 1 hour after they did
thing#1.
Text user 10 minutes after they did
thing#2.
[Code].....
I'm thinking of setting up a table for the list of things that will trigger the text. Then have a cron job set up to check the timestamps of each user finishing those things.

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'm doing a project that has a lot of time line animation.There are 5 buttons. Each one plays a multi-frame MovieClip containing sounds embedded in its timeline.Then there is a button that stops any of the playing movie clips. Of course, this doesn't stop the soundsormally, I'd just use...ActionScript Code:SoundMixer.SoundTransform.stopAll();Problem is, I also have non-timeline sounds that I have playing on a loop for background music, and the SoundMixer would stop the music too. But I don't want the music to stop.Doing some research, I think any MovieClip can have a SoundTransform property you can adjust, so I should be able to control the sounds just inside specific MovieClips. But I can't figure it out.

I'm trying to create a simple 'drum machine' game, where certain keys trigger sounds. I have that part down, but now I am trying to add different 'kits'. I was attempting to do this by simply creating a button to advance to a different frame on my timeline, with different actionscript that calls the new sounds in.
This is my simple AS to play a sound.
Code:
//KICK
var sndKick1:Kick1 = new Kick1();
stage.focus = this;
[Code]....
The problem I'm having though, is that when I hit the button to advance to a new frame, with different AS, the previous functions are still active, and the sounds overlap. So I need my button to somehow stop the function (seen above) and gotoAndPlay the next.

well its not really a loop in the strict programatic sense, but the effect is similar. I have a function attached to a button that uses the onEnterFrame event of an MC to start some action. When I rollout I want the action to stop, similar to using a clearInterval method. I tried using the setInterval method to create the action but the values inside the interval function are only checked at the first call of the setInterval, not after each interval.I'll admit I am far from a programer or any kind of expert in code, so my methodology may be completely whack. I am open to suggestions to better solutions...FYI, here is the code I am using
scrollRight_btn.onRollOver = function(){
thumbScroll(+5);
}
