Flash - Timer Object With TimerEvent.TIMER Event Globally Accessible To All Objects?
Feb 16, 2012I 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;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Difference Between Timer.stop() And Timer.reset()?
Aug 27, 2008What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.

Nov 29, 2011I have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals.

I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Timer Event Changes Cursor?
Feb 4, 2010I have a timer event that updates certain things in my app (from a PHP Service) every 5 seconds. Every time this timer ticks, it makes the cursor blink to a clock and then back to the arrow. Since this is happening every 5 seconds, it gets pretty annoying. Is there a way for me to prevent the cursor from changing when the timer ticks?UPDATE: I've figured out a work-around by setting a custom cursor with high priority (I just made a .png with a cursor in it).
View 1 RepliesAdobe Flex Timer Event
Jun 28, 2010I just have a one quick question on Timer and TimerEvent (flash.events.TimerEvent & flash.utils.Timer) of Adobe Flex.I am currently working on a project wherein I need to occasionally change speed, stop and play an swf animation (loaded to a loader and instantiated as a ByteArray).Example, I have a moving car (swf animation) running at 40kph. Then I have a button which will change the speed by increments of 40kph. SO basically, whenever I hit the button, the playing car should change speed by the increment. The difficult part is, I already had this working in Adobe Flex but it doesn't change the speed yet. I mean, it only moves by the keyframe interval I set when I created the swf file on flash (which is, to say, 30 frame interval per keyframe).
So in short, I just need to make the speed change depending on how many increments I asked it to change. A colleague told me to use Timer and TimeEvent of Flex but I can't seem to quite get the hang of it since I'm still new to the ActionScript world.
Flex :: Timer Fired On RollOver?
Nov 18, 2010I have a rollOver event on a pop-up button in flex. I want that the menu is opened on rollover. But if the user accidentally goes with the mouse over the component the menu should not be displayed. So on rollOver I want to start a timer (wait for half second) and than check if the user is still on the pop-up button (rollOut was not fired).
My example code so far:
private function rollOverMenu(event:Event){
rollOutNow = false;
var shortDelay:Timer = new Timer(3000);
[code]...
The Alert "time is up" is never shown, any ideas why my timer event does not work?

Flex :: Timer Delay Changer?
Jan 12, 2012var timer:Timer = new Timer(x);
basically x is an array...
when timer.start() is invoked
it runs, the first count is 1000 ms, then the second 800 ms, and the third 6200 ms and so on. In other words, it's a dynamic change in the delay and not a continuous delay of x ms.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex An EnterFrame-Timer?
Feb 7, 2010I'm in the final stages of a project, and I am in trouble for not having bigger tests on lower end computers. It's a game, and frame rate may vary for low end computers on certain intensive parts. This creates a de-sync with the Timer class as it counts real seconds, unrelated to the fps.The frame rate is 30. Bugs start to occur on anything <20, specifics don't matter, but I should have expected that. And now I should fix that.
What would you suggest? I could write an enterframe timer class (counts frames, won't go desyncd). This means I'll have many enterframes events (opposing many Timers right now) - is this significant, cpu-wise? How is it in comparison?Btw this occurred to me as I tried the application on my N900, didn't really expect it to run properly but the device's a beast and it did. Everything worked, slowly but worked, except the fact things got out of sync.

View 1 RepliesAS3 :: Flex - GetTimer() Method And The Timer Class?
Jun 18, 2009I'm in the process of making a game (a shmup) and I've started to question the accuracy of the timers in ActionScript. Sure, they're accurate enough when you want to time things on the order of a few seconds or deciseconds, but it seems to perform pretty poorly when you get to finer ranges. This makes it pretty tough to do things like have a spaceship firing a hundred lasers per second.
In the following sample, I tested how long (on average) the intervals were between 1000 timer ticks intended for 30ms. Time and time again, the results are ~35-36ms. Decreasing the time, I found the floor on the timer delay to be ~16-17ms. This gives me a max fps of ~60, which is great visually but also means I can't possibly fire more than 60 lasers per second :-(. I ran this test a few times at 100 and 1000 loops, but for both the 30ms test and the 1ms test the results didn't change. I print to a textField at the end because using trace() and launching the swf in debug mode seems to negatively affect the test. So what I'm wondering is:
Is this test a decent measure of the Timer class's performance, or are my results questionable? Will these results change dramatically on other machines? I understand this is dependent on the getTimer() method's accuracy, but the discussions I find on this topic usually center around getTimer()'s accuracy on larger intervals.

Flex :: Timer Complete Start Repeat Count
Mar 5, 2011Just a quick question about the Timer class of Flex 4. I have a timer object with a set repeatCount. At the end of the set number of cycles, the TIMER_COMPLETE event is triggered and the timer.running changes to false. Now I can call the timer.start() function again. My question is that at this stage, does it also set the repeatCount property back to zero. Or does one have to explicitly call the timer.reset() function.

Flex :: Enterframe Event - Using Timer Class For Main Loop
Jan 8, 2011I have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.
