I have been trying to do a scroll counter for the past 2 hours and i had no luck. Im new to actionscript 3 flash .. anyways. I am trying to create a text field that is incremented according to time elapsed, any ideas how to do this? Also does flash actionscript 3 update? is there a function that i need to put code under? (im experienced with c# -xna).
View 2 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.
I am trying to create a counter timer which displays milliseconds, so the timer will be something like: 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3
View 8 Repliesi need to make a timer or counter?it is going to be for a project were people donate money to help kids in need, so i need to make something that looks like it is real time adding up the amount so far donated. there is no way for me to give the real amount because it would be changing so fast so we just want something that say starts out at a number and goes up by 5 cents an hour.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a "counter" element that uses a formatted dynamic text box to count up in .1 increments 3 times a second, starting from a specified value (so viewer would see 3.1, then 3.2...etc.)
Here's the code so far:
var counter:Number;
counter = 3.0
counterText.text=(String(counter));
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300);
[Code]....
What I can't figure out is what should go in the function area, to add .1 seconds each time the timer cycles.
Is there any way to scroll Datagrid on timer basis.Let say there are plenty of records which can not be shown in one screen. And the screen is showing the first 10 records. An auto scroll should start after 5 seconds and bring up the next 10 records. Then again after 5 seconds the other 10 records and so on. A kind slide show effect.
View 1 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 know you can use the mouse wheel to scroll through text in the flash componenet scroll pane, but is there a way to set it up to work with the code I have posted below?

bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false;
space = 5;[code].....
is there anyway when i use scroll bar component in flash... how do i make it so that i can be controlled by your mouse scroll button.. thing.... ( if its possible )
View 3 RepliesI've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately).
how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).
I am having endless trouble trying to get flash to scroll with a mouse scroll wheel on both PC and Mac. Pixel Breakers code "swfmacmousewheel" seems to be the way to go but despite everyone raving about how amazing it is and showing many version of it working very nicely, I cant get it to work. I've followed all the instructions I can find as carefully as possible but I get nothing. I just want something similar to this > [URL]

View 9 RepliesI am using flash 8 and actionscript 2.0 to build this application. I am trying to compile a page hit counter that is only activated when the timeline hits a certain position. I thought I had it with the following script. But the count would randomly get reset back to zero.
Here is the PHP script:
PHP Code:
<?php
//Reading the file
$count = file_get_contents("main_counter.txt");
//Increasing the count
$count = explode("=", $count);
Code] .....
With this attempt I used the "loadVaribales" method to communicate with the PHP and TEXT files. Here is the code in the first frame of the timeline:
Code:
this.loadVariables("counters/main_counter.txt?num="+random(999999));
Here is the code in the second frame:
Code:
this.loadVariables("counters/main_counter.php?num="+random(999999));
It works awesome for a few weeks then the count gets reset to zero. Why the contents of the text file are randomly getting deleted.
Can I have a counter in flash? I don't know if it's possible in ActionScript. What about a Javascript version?
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to create a flash counter.each time the movie clip is loaded, it loads an external variable (number of seconds).so lets say the variable is:
secondsToEnd = 260;
the timer will be working until it gets to zero, then the movie clip will go to frame number 2.after a refresh of the page, the "banner" will check again for a new xml variable. creating the counter (after receiving the variable secondsToEnd) till it gets to zero.
How do I make my counter stop at zero?
I used dynamic text boxes named "day","health", ect.
the first frame's code is
Code:
function run(){
if(!ran){
health = 100;

I have a flash ad on my site that cycles through about about 8-10 products each with their own buy button that adds the item to the shopping cart and takes them to the shopping cart page. What I want to do is create some kind of counter or tracker that keeps track of how many times each product was clicked on. I would prefer an external file to be generated and updated per new click. Is this possible?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to make a hit counter in flash without anyscripting apart from ActionScript?
View 10 RepliesI am wondering how to create a basic flash counter.
As in, when something happens, I want a variable to equal 1, and then, if something else happens, I want that same variable to then be 2.
Etc .etc.
I think there is something to do with ++ , but I'm unclear about the syntax.
