Flash :: Blinking Movieclip With Timer?
Jul 22, 2011
i am trying to make my movieclip blink, it blinks when it is hit by something, to create the effect of a game.i have a hit test when it is hitted, caught is called on the object.the caught function of the object will make it stop and start to blink based on a timer.My timer is set on new Timer(400); why does my object not blink? my conditions seem to be correct.
if (hit.hitTestObject(f.hit))
f.caught();
private function blinkingHandler(evt:TimerEvent):void
[code].....

I'm creating bullets for a tank object to shoot.The tank is a child of the document class. The way I am creating the bullet is:
var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
(parent as MovieClip).addChild(bullet);
The bullet itself simply moves itself in a direction using code like this.x += 5; The problem is the bullets will trace for their creation and destruction at the correct times, however the bullet is sometimes not visible until half way across the screen, sometimes not at all, and sometimes for the whole traversal.Oddly removing the timer I have on bullet creation seems to solve this.The timer is implemented as such:
if(shot_timer == 0) {
shoot(); // This contains the aforementioned bullet creation method
shot_timer = 10;
My enter frame handler for the tank object controls the timer and decrements it every frame if it is greater than zero.

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].......

I have an issue with blinking (appear-disappear). I am calling 18 images into the empty .mc from the local drive.
MasterHomePage_mc.ImgButton1_btn.Img1_mc.Img1Holde r_mc.
isn't working fine and images are NOT blinking when they called up. But, once I have done a simple thumbnail image bar with spinning 18 images they start blinking. I think there is a problems with speed of loading images.

I have this class named MovingObject which extends the MovieClip class. This class will be instantianted for several times. Inside this class is a Timer that handles the speed of the objects moving. There is another class called TheStage and this is where I will instantiate MovingObject (s).
public class MovingObject extends MovieClip{
public var tmr:Timer = new Timer(1);
public function MovingObject(){
tmr.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, Move);
} public function StartMove():void{
this.tmr.start();
[Code] .....
Assuming that the code is working fine (I haven't debugged it), this makes the particles to move all at once. However after several seconds of running it, the particles seem not to be moving in synchronization with each other (because their distances between seem to get nearer). How to make the objects move with their distances each other evened out.

I had written movie player for my website few months ago and I'm upgrading it by adding some new functionality from time to time. Not long ago I've observed quite curious behavior of my browser. If my site is opened in one of tabs in browser, the cursor is blinking, from arrow to handcursor, when I'm rolling over links. Interesting is that it happens in every tab opened in browser, if only one of them contains my website. Closing my site returns every other tab to normality. I tried opening my site with blocked this one .swf file (my player) and also was everything ok. I've tested this on few different browsers and systems and it seems to happen in MacOS (tested in Safari, FF2, FF3 and Opera) Windows (in FF2, FF3, Safari, Opera IE6, IE7 and Chrome), no matter if installed version of FlashPlayer is 9 or 10. On Ubuntu Linux it doesn't happen in FF3, nor in Opera (only this two browsers tested).
I've built my player in Flash CS3, using AS2. Unfortunately, I don't know in which version of my application the problem has occurred. Of course I could examine whole code line by line, but that's about 2.5k lines and it is not the work I want to do if not necessary... I've searched lot of forums, but I found solution nowhere. Maybe someone had spotted such a strange browser behavior or simply does know, what may cause it?
The problematic site is [URL]. If you want, open it in one of tabs and try to play with links in other, you'll see what I'm writing about.

I have to display a movieclip image in flash depending on a variable is set or not, and when the variable is set to True it should blink as below.Show the movie clip for 500msec. Hide for 500msec and then show again for 500msec etc..
If the variable is set to false then it should be hidden immediately.
Presently i tried this using Timers and visible property of image.But this is not looking like natural blinking.Is there a way to achieve the blinking effect with built in properties of flash?

Is there a way to tell if a Flex TextArea has a blinking cursor? One indication is if the component is focused: focusManager.getFocus() == textArea
But it's possible to have a blinking cursor without having the focus. I'm not sure if the converse is possible (focus without blinking cursor).
Edit: The rub here appears to be a distinction between "component-level" focus and "player-level" focus (per the FocusManager docs). I haven't yet found any great explanation of the latter or APIs to it.

Edit: I made a demo apk, so you can understand what I mean: [URL]
For my application, I want a kind of "Super Power Point", or a keynote (the commercial team will present the product to their customers) using all the Android goodness, gestures, etc... on an Android tablet. As Honeycomb is not yet ready and because we need it before march, we choose some random Froyo Tablet (Archos 101), but my issue is for every tablet/phone I tried.
I made a really great application, but for some animations during the presentation, the customer wanted to use flash animations. Because I couldn't code animations (sort of little movies/ animated graphics) that easily in Android and the lack of time, that seemed to be a good idea.
So, after some search on the Web, I used webview and this code:
WebView mWebView1 = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview1);
mWebView1.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView1.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
mWebView1.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/graph_01.swf");
This work pretty well, but on every device I tried (Archos 101, Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy S, Xperia, Desire, HTC Hero, and really more) every activity with a webview blink, a few milliseconds of black screen, then the animation finally appear.
PS: My layout is quite simple too:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
[Code]....
I cannot imagine I am the only one to face this issue.

I 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 have a timer I need to implement when a "question" movieclip object is added to the screen, but even though the code is all right and definitely works it's not running when the movieclip is actually opened in the swf.

question.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerFunction);
function timerFunction(event:TimerEvent):void

I have a "News Bar" on my flash site that plays a movieclip I created to display the news. I would like a one-time delay of around 2.5 seconds before the movieclip starts playing. I'm comfortable with flash and am learning AS3 more and more everyday.

I am trying to set up an animation that would run after a timer is set. Every part of the rabbit would move so would I have to make each a movieclip or can I do it with just one timeline per part. As I have it now it is a MC with an timeline animation.

I am trying to make a timer that swaps two movie clips, so that each two seconds? Here is the code:
var leftPillar:MovieClip = new Right();
leftPillar.x=150;
leftPillar.y=250;
leftPillar.width=550;
leftPillar.height=400;
The idea is that each 2 seconds the movie clip should change to which ever one is now visible. What is currently happening is that only one of the clips ever shows, (newLeftPillar).

Is there any timer function in flash to load a movie clip after a certain time elapsed? Like we can adjust the time when it will load and when it will disappear.

I have a series of movieclips and when each one is clicked it calls a function e.g
movieclip1.onrelease = function(){
// function here
}
Is it possible to deactivate each one for 5 seconds when it is clicked, then reactivate it after 5 seconds using a timer or something?

I set up a loop where a movie clip moves in a triangle over and over. It works, but I want it to pause for 5 seconds at each location, so I added a Timer (my first attempt). Now, it will go through the triangle once, pausing correctly, but then the main movie clip (target_mc) stops in the original position and never moves again.
Code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var xMove0:Tween;
var yMove0:Tween;
var xMove1:Tween;

I have created a MovieClip named "Target" and called it from actionscript. Inside this movie clip I have created an 'action' layer and written the code in it[code]...
Now I can get 10 animating circles in different places of the stage after every second. And every circles will leave the stage after completing the animation. Though I have given 'pink' color in that circle, that's why its generating with 'pink' color always. How do I change the color of each circle while it will generate?

I have a flv player on stage, along with several buttons. Everytime I press a button, I change the flv file played by the flv player.
I would like to make the transition seamless - since the last frame of the first video is identical to the first frame of the second video, the second flv would start right away.However, the flv player blinks between a video and another, probably because it is loading the local file.

I was working lately on this tutorial: http:[url]....and I wanted to make sth similar but a little more complicated (only in looks - not in code).Its sth like this: I got a sheet of paper with loaded .swf file on it (same as in that tutorial); then the sheet wraps itself (the .swf file on it disapears because the sheet is a MASK); when it is wraped another .swf file is loaded (cannot be seen yet); and at the end the sheet unwraps and the new contet (new .swf) is revealed.
And I got this problem: when the new .swf file is being loaded it appears for a half of a second (even if there is NO MASK on it - and it shouldn't be seen!) before even the sheet begins to unwrap and then disapears and everything is going ok. No code errors. Why do I have such effect of blinking on load ? It completely ruins the cool thing with wraping. Can you give me any advice ? There is no such thing in mentioned tutorial

This may seem trivial but for some reason I am having a difficult time getting the answer to this seemingly simple problem. I am trying to make an eye blink at random between 1-15 second intervals. I have a MC of the eye blinking, only 10 frames long, set on my stage (an outline of a head/face). On the first frame of the eye blinking MC labeled "Eye" I have this code:
stop();
random_number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*15000);
delay = setInterval(this, "play", random_number);
At first it seems like the code will work, then it appears to overlap itself over and over and over until the eye starts to blink rapidly without hesitation. Am I missing something? Or is the idea of getting this to work more complicated then it lets on...

I've got a main textfield myTextfield01. When I put focus on another textfield which is empty (either manually by clicking on another field, or like below using setFocus) I want the focus to go back to myTextField01 again. And put the blinking cursor and the very end of whatever is typed into it. So I tried this.
myTextfield01.onKillFocus = function(newFocus:Object) { if (newFocus.text == "") { Selection.setFocus(myTextfield01); Selection.setSelection(myTextfield01.text.length-1, myTextfield01.text.length); }};
But that didn't work. It went back to myTextfield01, but the blinking cursor stayed at the empty textfield and any text typed would be added to that empty field.When I put this in frame one:
myTextfield01.onKillFocus = function(newFocus:Object) { if (newFocus.text == "") { nextFrame()); }};
And this in frame two:
Selection.setFocus(myTextfield01); Selection.setSelection(myTextfield01.text.length-1, myTextfield01.text.length);
it did work. Both focus and cursor where in myTextfield01 again.So why doesn't it work when I combine it all in one frame?
