I want to pass a number value to a Timer. How do I do this? My number and integer values for other variables work fine.
I get null object reference and coercion of value, because I'm not passing to 'timer' properly. I don't want to say my variable's a number, I want to say it has a number value.[code]...
My timer has three variables that I can trace to the output window,but don't know how to pass them to the timer. How to I pass the XML values to my timer? I want to test with an XML document, before I try connecting it to an XML socket.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've got a function wich can accept a varible number of parameter with a rest operator. I want create an object passing the argument collected with the rest operator directly to a constructor without create an object and call an initializing function and without passing the entire array but the parameters ah I do with apply() function.

how can you pass a value from timer to textfiled so that they add to each other i.e: on timer we have 12 we click we have in textfield value 12, next we have on our timer 24 after we click in textfield we have 36 and so on

View 2 RepliesI am running a sweepstakes like thing and want my users to all be able to load the page and have the exact same countdown and number generator running. I tried this in AS3 but each user caches their own swf file and gets a different result from the random number generator, and the as3 countdown is a few seconds off from each user. How would I go about making a countdown that is the exact same for each user looking at it at the same time and then a random number generator where every user will see the same result it gives? Is it even possible?
Sorry I wasnt clear on this. I would like to have it where the viewers could see the number being generated when the timer runs out. Kind of like watching the lotto on TV. Again, not sure if this is possible. I have looked around, I know as3, some php, and some javascript. I have given up on doing this in flash.
I find the output of the following code extremely strange!

is there anyway to pass the setInterval id number into the function you are wanting to run.
I want the function i run to run clearInterval when a certain test suceeds.
Is there a way to get Flash to know what frame it's on and pass that as a variable? I can't use counters because I'm using a random frame function.
View 3 RepliesI have a project that uses a lot of remoting calls and I'm hoping to abstract the process. I've hit a problem with passing parameters to the final call...[code]...
I know how to loop through the ...rest param to obtain their values but I'm struggling at how to construct the final gateway.call() which could have 1 arg or 10.
Basically what I'm trying to create is a custom timer that uses frames rather than milliseconds. But I can't figure out how functions like setInterval calls the function you passed along with the arguments. First I create a reference to the function I want to execute after a certain interval and name it fc, then I create a list of arguments my function want to pass using Array, but then how do I put those arguments in fc()?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

i am trying to create a timer that when it reaches to the number 10 it changes the text in a dynamic text box, i have got the timer counting but when it gets to 10 it doesnt do anything.here is my code:

var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,0);[code]....

I would like to know is there any limitations in flash textarea like the number of lines it can have or the number of bytes it can have. iam opening a text file using php in textarea, where all the contents of the files are not getting loaded in the textarea. If it is there then how to increase its size, is it same thing in flex?
View 1 RepliesWhat is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
View 1 RepliesI have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
View 1 RepliesIn 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.

View 4 RepliesI'm having to pass data (originally read via an XML file loaded by the parent class) to a child class upon instantiation, and I can't decide which is the better method.I could parse the XML in the parent and throw the data into an Object and pass that object to the child class....or just pass the part it needs as an XMLList and let the child class do the parsing.Seems like a trivial decision, yes, but I'm not sure of longer-term implications.
View 3 RepliesTrying to pass a variable as well and cant seem to escape to pass it. How can I pass using window.open as such: Trying to pass (pid) all i get back is (pid) and not actual pid.How to on a jscommand?

I can do a standard getUrl("http://www.someform.php?proj=" + (pid), "_blank"); works fine but no control over window properties.
Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
