I've got the following code and i would like to add an delay of 200 ms after each trace statement
for (var x_pos:uint = 0; x_pos <= 12; x_pos++){
for (var y_pos:uint = 0; y_pos <=12; y_pos++){
trace("hello world " +"("x_pos+","+y_pos+")");

I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 100 * _parent._totalframes);
if (framePos < 0) {

Shouldn't flash detect these before running the script and crashing and having to force quit and restart (and flash startup takes a while)? Like just give an error: infinite for loop or something? And this happened to me a bunch when working with for loops within for loops, when I accidentally used the same variable for both loops, so of course it never ended and crashed flash.
View 2 RepliesThe scenario is to create a lotto game that matches 6 user inputted numbers with 7 randomly generated numbers. The 7th number is a special case (eg bonus ball) WOULD LIKE TO SHOW A KIND HEARTED FALSH GENIUS ALL OF THE SCRIPT IF POSS! (its not tooo long) This code works, but it just outputs the default message: There seems to be a problem with my arrays not comparing? Part of the code is: (prioir to this the user inputs numbers, they are copied to text areas beginning with O, on a button press) On a second button press randomly generated number appear to a timer. //compareResult checks how many numbers match between the two sets of numbers to determine winnings.

I'm pulling data from an xml doc and created 4 XMLLists to hold the children of the 4 different elements. Inside the onLoad function, I created a series of for loops to go through each list. But Flash stops after going through the first two. I'm very puzzled by this. I got around it by creating a 2nd onLoad function for the last 2 lists, but should I be using a different loop? Curious.. I inserted a break after the first 2 and then the 3rd loaded up...

View 10 RepliesMy situation is that in the game I'm making, I have a movable turret firing duplicated bullets. I need to hittest them against a duplicated set of oncoming robots. I've tried using a for loop, but I just can't get it to work.I've attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller!)

What have I done wrong? I'm trying to give each mc it's own number based on the name position in the array etc etc - It returns 18 for all of them when I click them one at a time.
Why nested loops must be used. I have this code that I took from the Training from the source book:
v = 0;
i = -1;
while(++i < 2){
j = -1;
while(++j < 2){

What I don't understand is why I have to have this to create two columns couldn't I just change the while (++i < 2){ to
while(++i < 4){ instead.

We have a For Loop that duplicates and movie Clip.
for (counter=2;counter<=15;counter++) {
duplicateMovieClip(enemy,"enemy"+counter,counter+1 00);
}
On a hit test we want to remove all the duplicated movieclips. I acomplished this using a new scene with a frame action contianing another For Loop and a remove movie clip action. Hit test true move to new scene play frame action.
for (counter=2;counter<=15;counter++) {
removeMovieClip("enemy"+counter);
}
This worked.Is there a way to put a stop of the For Loop or Put a stop on the Duplicate movie clip?
I am trying to make a sound crossfading between the loops (an example would be: same as in a "Winamp" media player you toggle the Crossfading function in a Modern Skin and select a duration of it). Say I got a loop of 10 seconds, altho it is not perfect as its cut of the song without a proper editing tool. Any way I could accomplish it by using the ActionScript?

I am wanting to create an array. 10 values in it (couting from 0 index to 9). Each 'place holder' will have a corresponding value to it;s index i.e.
myArray[0]=0
myArray[1]=1 etc...
I can do that in a for loop. But then I want to attach each value to a single variable name. I then want to change that each variable to a string. I then want access to all the variables outside of the for loop.
var i:Number;
var aArray:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {

The output error is 1084: expecting identifier before aArray.

I have a five mouse click functions, each with a different navigateToURL link, and each one appears on a different key frame. The probelm is that once the end of the swf is reached and it loops, it gets stuck on the last function and therefor only links to that last URL.Is there a way to reset functions at the begining? Or is there a better way to do this?Code from one of my keyframes:
First_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onMouseClickFirst);
function onMouseClickFirst(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://FirstLink.com'));}
