i call a flash script from another flash script with the following code:
[Code]...
i need to change it so that it will call a different movie clip each time the clip is viewed, using the time (so that the movieclip will be a new one every time a user refreshes the page or sees the flash again).
Does AS3 have a way of converting a datetime variable into local time?
View 1 RepliesI would like to add a movieclip to the stage (on a FrameEnterEvent) for only a few seconds.
I know how to add and remove the movie clip but how do a specify the period of time I want the movie clip to appear on stage?
I need to add in extra hours to the time, and the day will change automatically too. How should I change the code below?[code]
View 1 RepliesI've looked all over the web and everyone can teach you how to make a timer for your game or a countdown, but I can't seem to find out how to add time to an already counting timer. So here is my counter class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code] .....
That works without any issues or problems and just keeps counting upwards at a speed of 100ms, what I want to know is how to add say 30 seconds if something happens in my game, say you kill an enemy for example.
've created a simple flash game for moving a car round the flame to collect fuel cans and avoid traffic cones. The game has a 10sec timer running but i want to make it that if u hit a fuel can it adds 5secs to the timer and if u hit a cone it removes 2secs.This is my code so far
var fuelpoints = 0;
var conepoints = 0;
startButton.visible = true;

I have a flash banner and I am looking to insert a count down time and when the timer runs out I want the timer to fade out and start a new movie clip.
PHP Code:
//Create your Date() object
var endDate:Date = new Date(2010,5,15);
//Create your Timer object
//The time being set with milliseconds(1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
var countdownTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);

What is the best way to convert a string to DateTime? The format of the string is dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
View 1 RepliesIn Flex/ActionScript 3, is there a better way to monitor the date/time to determine if the date has changed to the next day by creating a timer that dispatches every minute?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a flashobject which I need to pass a formatted DateTime string to.
My code:
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
which outputs as: 2009-09-16 22:26:45
However when it is actually output to HTML and swfobject it renders it as:
so.addVariable("inNowDate","2009-09-16+22%3a25%3a13");
I think this is messing up a calculation that the flash object does based off the current time. Do I need to encode or decode this?
I'm looking to port some DateTime functionality from ActionScript 3.0 over to Java/Android. I am currently looking at Joda. Before going with this option I wonder if there are actually any implementations of the DateTime object with ECMA-262 3rd Edition compliance? Or is there a better option (smaller/lightweight) solution to achieve this?
View 1 RepliesFor example :
input = 360 seconds
output = 6 minutes
input = 86400
output = 1 day
Is there a built-in method for this.

View 2 RepliesI have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?

I've been having some trouble with this line of code. This is being used in an .as class file for my Ball class. I can get it to move within the main .fla by using a timers but if possible I would rather avoid the timer. I'm trying to develop a system for my FLA like this:
Ball starts at x,y
Ball moves to waypoint x,y
Ball leaves stationary copies of itself along the way forming a line as it goes.
The file will do this several times so I am trying to base this on if/else rules rather than animate it out. I feel like I should contain all movement activity within the class file and leave the waypoint rules for the main .fla. My current issue is that the code below (without the hittest) works if the FLA has a timer triggering the moveTowards function. Without the timer in the fla, it still works but the ball just warps to the destination.So I have two questions:
Is there a way to control the while loop so that it pauses at the end of each loop enough to look like the ball is moving incrementally?Is there a way for me to have a drawball function within the ball class itself or should I make a new package/class within the class file? Ideally I would have the new ball creation be relative to the "step" variable.
Code:
public function moveTowards(pX:Number, pY:Number, step:Number)
{
var dir:Number = Math.atan2(pY - y,pX - x); //find angle direction[code]...........
I'm making a game and it has a 20sec timer in it and I want to make a button/powerup thing that adds 5 seconds to the timer when you press it.I'm currently using: -

The portal in my game is suppose to be unlocked after you collect all the coins. The portal is locked but when I go over a coin it neither adds to the variable or removes the movie clip by instance name of coin1 coin2 and coin 3.also if the remove movie clip doesnt need _root I've already tried it without it I know that is not the problem.
var openportal = 0;

I'm trying to add a preloader to my flash movie so the user doesn't have to wait for additional frames to load while they are navigating. When I try to shift my current frames over by 2 frames to make room for the preloader I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Everything works fine before I shift the frames by 2, so I don't understand why I'm getting a complier error abut an object not existing. What to do to add a pre-loader to my existing movie without moving everything over by two frames?
I was planning on putting this code on frame 1:
ActionScript Code:

var kbloaded:Number=stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded/1024;
var percent:Number= Math.round(kbloaded/kbtotal*100)
loader.gotoAndStop(Math.floor((precent/100)*100));
loader.loadingStatus.text=Math.round(kbloaded) + " lb / " + Math.round(kbtotal) + "kb";
This code on frame 2:
ActionScript Code:
if (kbloaded == kbtotal){
gotoAndPlay("Main");
} else{
gotoAndPlay("Load");

5 buttons, 5 thumbs. I click on the third thumbnail, it shows me the 3rd picture. Pretty simple, pretty straight forward. How do I add a time limit? For instance if I click on button #3, and I stay there for 12 seconds without clicking, it goes to #4, 12 seconds later to #5, 12 seconds later to #1, etc?
I have built a SoundClass which handles my sound. Any time I want to call upon a sound, I call upon the class and its function. Problem is, there is like a buffering time or something. For instance, when I jump with my character, I am trying to play the jump from the SoundClass I created. It plays, but takes about 3 seconds. Btw, it does this regardless of if its in its own class, or in the same class I am calling it from. The jump.mp3 is only 4KB.
Here is how I have it set up
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
[code]....
If I am in another class, I can call upon this by using "soundClass.jumpS();" It plays, but takes a few seconds. I have a trace on the function jumpS() and it traces immediately.
I created a "movie" that is basically just several sentances fading in and out. I'd like it to stop eventually, so it's not annoying. I know with animated gifs you can tell it to "play" 5 times (or however many times you want). Is there a way to do this in Flash? Or would it be something I set on my html page?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to request some data in a Flash movie from PHP at run-time? Maybe my real-world implementation can clarify some things:
I use a Flash movie to store a Local Shared Object (because for some reason I need LSO's instead or regular PHP cookies). Now, when I load up a PHP file I want to somehow retrieve the data from the LSO at runtime, assign it to some variables, and use the variables through the rest of the script.
After a little break in AS3 I'm back... and facing a problem. For a school project I'm trying to make a side scroller game in which the player automatically moves right and has to avoid branches.Basically, depending on how well you do your speed (var) gets updated. After certain 'distance' (fake of course, as the player stays centered) I would like a n instance of Branch_MC to appear. Also, when that instance's x property reaches -20 I would like it removed.I'd need approximately 135 branches so creating variables isn't really an option.
