I have a flex app that has several timers running for various amounts of time and for various reasons. I'd like to be able to stop all timers running if the user goes over a specified amount of time, but don't want to individually stop the timers using timer.stop(); Is there a way to stop all timers globally or find and iterate over all timers running and stop them?
View 1 RepliesI prepared a educational game at flash with actionscript. I newable at flash. But i have a problem. I create a main.swf and other swf's. I call others to main.swf with addchild() code. The swf which I called has sounds inside (i called sounds from file not embedded in timeline or linkaged from library). I create also some timers on other swf files to ease my job. Timers control timeline. But not controls the sounds. The problem is that when i unload or remove the child at the stage i can clear all of the items. But timers still continuning . I search the problem at web a bit and i meet by chance the following code,
ar t:Timer = new Timer()
TimersManager.getInstance().register(t);
...
TimersManager.getInstance().stopAll();
it is for Flex i understood. But it can be possible with flash? anyone knows that how i can create a timersmanager class and register my timers on it.
I have a media player with nested code that calls the start of new playback upon completion of a previous file Code example

In a game I'm making the timers that I use go one speed when I run it by pushing Ctrl-Enter in Flash but when I run the external .swf file created, the timers go considerably slower.I have managed to work around this by making the timers reset at lower intervals but I would rather not have to resort to this.
View 1 RepliesI have some timers running on a page that I am having trouble figuring out how to stop when I navigate away from that page, while the page is running.
The call is coming from a button on another movie clip, which is invoking a function on Main.as. The
function in Main.as does this:
public function goToIntro(){
removeChild(currentScreen);
intro = new Intro();

how to kill the timers from the removedHander function. I tried removing the event listeners but that causes other error messages. I tried doing a test if the listener is not null, then stopping it. That apparently never runs (I used trace statements to test it). I tried testing if the timer was .running and then stopping it, but that didnt work either.
Does it run in a separate thread or the main loop? If the latter, does that mean that the Timer might not be called if the main loop is in a long-running action?More generally, what can you tell me about threads running in ActionScript? My once-a-minute Timer is called if an event-handler runs for minutes, so it is not the case that all ActionScript runs in one thread.

View 1 RepliesI have a simple flash game with two frames at the moment.Most of the stuff that happens is in as files linked to different movie clips.I orignially only had one frame my background frame and when testing I just press ctl+enter and bamm away it goes the actionscript runs as soon as the movie/game starts and ergo the game plays.My problem is this, I now want to have a start/home frame at the beginning (of course) which has the start game button on which when clicked THEN starts the game.Currently the game starts in the first frame along with the start button.How do I stop the game running straight away and my first frame only contains the start button, which when clicked then goes to the 2nd frame and starts the game?

I am using Flash CS3. I'm new at actionscripting and I do not understand it completely. I have a movie that has a few (2-4) scenes in it. Each scene is like its own "commercial" I created a holiday movie that has snowflakes falling using an online tutorial. The movie works fine by itself, but when I load it as a scene in the movie that has my"commercials", the snowflakes continue to fall throughout the rest of the scenes. The holiday movie has a movie clip that has a snowflake falling straight down. The actionscripting duplicates the movie clip randomly as well as its opacity, postition, etc. I understand what I did during the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to get the snowflakes to stop falling throughout the rest of the scenes. I've tried entering a stop after the script but it just seems to stop the scene there without continuing to rotate through the rest of them. I don't quite understand where to tell it to stop. Somewhere else on the actions timeline? In the movie clip itself? Here is the actionscript code I'm using:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc",10);
var i = 0;
myInterval = setInterval(addFlake,500);

The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to run a Flex client in IntelliJ internally and have it talk to a separately deployed server instance? The server's a java webapp. This will make developing, especially debugging, much easier. What I'm trying to avoid is having to rebuild and redeploy the webapp to get the updated Flex code in it. I want to just build flex and run it against the server.
The flex client is embedded in an HTML page on the server, so in production the users access the client by going to a web page. We're using GraniteDS if that's important.
Update
I'm managed to cobble something together, but it's ugly.I made a copy of our wrapper HTML page and fixed the links to refer to the SWF in target.I setup the IntelliJ run config to point to that HTML page.I set the 'Place SWF file in a local-trusted sandbox' to true
Hardcoded the {server.name}, {server.port}, and {context.root} values in the service-config.xml GraniteDS config file to localhost, etc.
I can mavenize #1, but #3's isn't really a permanent solution. That part is still a problem because I can't check this in.
For some reason I cannot catch the Ctrl + Z keyDown event in my Flex application when it runs in IE. It works fine in FF/Chrome/Safari.
