Flash :: Play MovieClip At Variable Speed Using SetInterval()
Mar 10, 2011
I'm trying to play through a MovieClip frame by frame using setInterval. Overall I'm trying to imitate speeding up and slowing down of the MovieClip by changing the setInterval time. Basically, when a user moves the Slider the MovieClip needs to speed up or slow down based on the Slider value. EDIT: The code above works to a certain extent. As in the slider updates updateClip() and the MovieClip does actually play at one speed. But the MovieClip does not play at the speed variable value. If I remove the ClearInterval() the MovieClip just plays at one speed but then doubles when the Slider is changed. What I'm looking for is the MovieClip to play at the same rate as speed value.

You can see the .swf of what I have created here at [URL]. The idea is that the user can change the speed of the simulation clock at any time using the slider. I noticed while building this, that this thing worked until I tried making it so that the user could change the speed at any time (this is a necessary part of the design). The relevant part of the code is as follows:
var time_intervalID:Number;
var stime_intervalID:Number;
var time_interval:Number;
var stime_interval:Number;
function clockUpdate() {
[Code] .....
First of all, I need to get the clocks working correctly. Secondly, I would really like it if the user could type in a number and the slider would adjust accordingly .

Is there a way to change the speed of audio/video playing in VideoPlayer or any other such control?Let's say to play voice recordings of slow speaking persons faster to save time.Some mp3 players (e.g. COWON S9) can keep the pitch to avoid funny voice.

I have drawn a circle with rays on the stage and made it a movie clip in Flash MX. I can make the MC rotate by creating a function. However, when I call the function in a setInterval, I want the MC to rotate with random speed. I did it this way but to no avail: setInterval(rotateme, random(2000)); I want the MC rotation to randomly speed up down to zero and slow down to 2000.

I am generating movieClips dynamically using attachMovie and then using a setInterval to animate them. However, if I repeat the operation the second set of mcs move twice as fast, the third set three times as fast etc. I can't for the life of me work out why.

How can I use setInterval in movieClip.prototype? This code increase num value just one time...
MovieClip.prototype.testFunc = function(num) {
var num = isNaN(num) ? 0 : num;
trace(num);
clearInterval(this.slideDelay);
num++;
this.slideDelay = setInterval(this.testFunc, 4000,num);
};
var testMc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("testMc", 1);
testMc.testFunc(0);

I have a dynamic field text on stage called: mca .This dynamic field stores a MovieClip name.I am trying to play this dynamic MovieClip through a variable like below:
var myVar = String(mca.text);
_root[myVar].gotoAndPlay(61);
It is not working!! It works in AS2 but not in AS3. How can I do this in AS3?

{
trace("Pause this "+pIndex);[code].....

Basically, I have a presentation movie with a few complexities to it.
1. The movie Plays, then waits an interval of time, then resumes (works alright)
2. The movie needs to have a pause button (that will pause the action) and a play button that will resume the action.
My problem: Once I pause and then hit play the play button ignores the "countdown" of setInterval and just "skips" ahead to the next part. I'm putting in a voice over and I really need that interval of time there or stuff will run into each other.
On the first frame (but indicative of the rest):
Code:
stop();
/* Sound Stuff */
var mySound = new Sound(this);
mySound.attachSound("soundIntroduction");

I'm tweening a movieclip from startX to finishX. The value of startX varies but finishX is a constant. But as the startX increases in value the animation appears to be quicker. How do I adjust the speed of the tween to ensure a consistant speed regardless of the value of startX?

I'm trying to make a Class for a slideshow. I have a problem using the setInterval and clearInterval methods.See my code below. In the showPic function I have a conditional clearing the interval (repeating the showPic function). At least, it should do so, but it's not working. The interval continues. I'm using "this" so that's not the problem. Maybe it has to do with the scope of the variable to which I assigned the interval?

My goal is to change the time for setInterval each time the function is called. Planning to replace myInterval = 5000; with a randomized number. My problem is getting setInterval to recognize the myInterval variable from the function.
var myInterval = 1000;
callback = function() {
_root.myMovie.gotoAndPlay(1);[code]....

This seems like this should be so simple yet, I can't figure it out. I just want to display the variable speed.

I am trying to do something quite simple but i am stuck. I have a huge object on screen and i want to do a mouse pan effect. But the panning speed will vary depending on the mouse distance from the center. e.g. the more left you get the mouse the faster it should move.

I'm working on animating typography in Flash. In the working flash document everything is playing back OK.
When I publish the movie and play the SWF file the playback is not at a consistant speed throughout.
Sections of the animation that have content on multiple layers slows down the rate of playback. Sections of the animation that on have content on 1 layer seem to make the playback much faster. So that elements that are moving in consistant speeds inside the flash document are not moving at constant speeds in the SWF file.
What can I do so that the published movie plays at a consistent speed?

i have an .fla, which loads goes to different frames in the timeline according to the download speed of the user. i understand how it should work... start timer > upload file > stop timer > calculate download speed - easy?
so what is this simple code im missing to find the download speed? from my fruitless searching, the only relevant code i could find, is this:
Code:
var time1 = getTimer();
targetClip.loadMovie("example.swf");
targetClip.onLoad = function()
[Code]....
... but i have test this, which gives an undefined property error grrr.... so what is the actionscript 3, to find the value of the download speed?

I am hoping to create a nav device similar to that on the ite. Find the circular nav thingy and move it left and right to move the environment in the background. See how it speeds up the further it gets away from the centre and slows down to a stop when gets back to the centre. I am not worried about the zoom effect butcreating the left and right movement. I am not much of a coder as I am graphic designer.

I've got a short SWF around 150 frames long, the first 49 frames consist of a movie clip that contains an embedded FLV movie (created in after effects), the remaining frames consist of a few basic motion tweened graphic elements over a total of 4 layers and the file has no action script. The problem is that when I export the movie every other time the file loops the latter 101 frames after the FLV play back at high speed.
The first 49 frames always play back normally, but then 1st time the remaining frames play high speed, then 2nd time normal speed, 3rd time high speed then normal etc etc. The project is set to 12fps and the embedded FLV is also 12fps. The file shows no errors. Can someone explain what is going on here? I have never come across this problem before, but then I've never used an embedded FLV before, I suspect this is what's causing the problem but I can't figure out why, especially as the file plays back as it should every other time.

I have a movieclip prototype which I want to be applied to different movieclips every so often. The prototype controls it's movement, when it runs, the mc eases to a random x and y and stops. After that I want it to keep executing that movement prototype over and over, ie, keep moving around. I know how to use setInterval with functions, and I know movieclip prototypes basically are functions, but how can I get setInterval to work with movieclip prototypes assigned to specific movieclips?

Does anyone know whether it would be possible to set a motion path for a movie clip and to have the speed of the tween set as a variable which can be increased or decreased by the user during the movie?

What I have is actionscript which moves a movieclip from one point of the stage to another, using two buttons to trigger it - fwd_btn and rwd_btn. I also use a setInterval function, so that when you press one of the buttons, it pauses a second before moving. Unfortunately, if you press the fwd and rwd buttons in succession rapidly, the animation gets caught in a never-ending loop. Also, note that every time the user clicks a button, if the movieclip is right in the middle of animating across the stage, I wish it to stop and pause, not complete the animation and then pause.

I have a series of 6 images. In a single movie clip symbol (with the pictures embedded/attached in the swf), I want the images to fade in, stop for 4 seconds, fade out as the next image fades in, and repeats from there. I know how to do this with timeline tweens - but I wanted to learn how to make it in actionscript.
I've finally been able to make the images do this, but when I pull the movieclip into my main animation, it breaks all my stop(); commands for navigation. it seems to stop for 4 seconds and then continues on. I'm still very much an actionscript beginner, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it.
