Flex :: Timer Delay Changer?
Jan 12, 2012
var 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.

I have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. 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?

I need to use some sort of delay function and I don't know if there is one
like: sleep(milliseconds){

}
or something like that.

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.

possible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through. I have a for loop with i++ so that I can put objects on the page with a small pause between them. The i++ loop puts all the movieclips on the page simultaneously. I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.

I'm new to concepts of AS 3 but i'm stumbling through it.So i'm looking to the Fourm for some Mentor ship
I have a simple Regular Flash slide show with 4 slides and an intro label. I need my Intro label to have a Timer or Delay event that holds on the "Intro" Label for a certain amount of time before the Timer expires and calls a function that tells FLASH to go on to slide "Slide 1" label.
The trick is i need this delay to run everytime the Timeline is at the "Intro" label as i have an animation playing while the timer or delay event counts down and finally at end goes to label "Slide 1" Can anyone share some simple code snipets that would point me in the right direction to accomplish this using AS3 ?

I'm trying to put a delay or timer inside of a function, ie:
Code: Select all
this_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doThis);
function doThis(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]....
So that where I have the function for the button make that movie clip go to frame 1, it would wait one second before going to frame 1.

There seems to be a time delay problem when the slideshow is playing. It will start playing, but as soon as I click on the next or previous button to view another clip it will mess up the delay time and screw up when the pictures will play. Is there a way on how I can fix this ... I attached a link to see what is happening. The following script is what I have playing for the images.

I want the delay on my timer to change randomly within a range of its initial value. So I did this:
PHP Code:
var _rate:int = 100;var timer:Timer = new Timer(_rate);timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);timer.start();function timerHandler(t:TimerEvent):void

I'm trying to make a timer..
When I press a button a movieclip does this: gotoAndStop(2);
I want it to go back to Keyframe 1 after 10 seconds.
How can I get this to work?

In addition to a timer i'm making I simplified my code, but i'm running in to an annoying problem when I try to input the Timer delay manualy. I want to enter the speed and the number my timer needs to start running trough an input textfield. The counting number is no problem, but when I try to do the same with my delay it wont take it. Is there a way to get around this? I keep getting this error[code]...

I have the idea of scripting animations, placing them inside a function, so then I can recall them whenever I want:
Code:
function eyesleft(){
eyes._x=0
eyes._x=-100
}
one question is I need some kind of delay timer to make the animation smooth, otherwise the animations would be all jumpy. Set interval seems a bit jumpy.

Ive noticed that i need a function that delays a callback. I use this quite often to delay animations and stuff. well anyhow. Before i just used Tweener to do this.Tweener.addTween(this, {time: 2, onComplete: callback}); This works fine but i belive that I get a small memory leak from this. So i made this static function. I think it look quite nice. But it only works sometimes.
[Code]....
If you try it with a loop of, say 10 so it will callback every one second for 10 seconds, its often it will skip a few. Have anyone noticed any problems with timer before or something similar. Or if you have a nice delay function you wanna share.

I'm building a continous move in flash, and I'm displaying some text and images and want to hold the timeline for about 20 seconds and then resume play again. I'm trying to write a simple timer in AS to keep from having to create 10000 frame long movie clips. Here's what I have so far:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame {
time = getTimer();
if (time == 20) {
play();
}}
Unfortunately, this isn't working for me, and 'm unsure why. I suspect two things,
A: my "time" var takes only a snapshot value of the timer and not a continuous value, so the timer never reaches the value of 20. Or,
B: I have somesort of syntax wrong and the if never gets a chance to load.

at the tail end of my Flash cs4, actionscript 3.0 college project and want to incorporate a countdown Timer Event when there is a 3 minute delay of usage in the flash movie (interactive).Below is what I understand and want to accomplish.Is it correct to place the actionscript code in the actions layer of the 1st frame within the 1st scene?And will it be recognized throughout all the scenes within the flash movie?1. Have the flash movie recognize a delay of usage (no clicking) after 3 minutes to start a countdown Timer Event.??Where would I add code to the timer to fire every 3 minutes during a delay of usage?
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var count:Number = 11;

I'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

I want to create a function based (not frame) delay of about 10 seconds to the function at the start of a flash movie, the code only needs to run once.I'm very new to actionscript and have been given links to SetInterval and SetTimer examples but they all seem to be very complex.The function is below. I believe it's possible to add the commandTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int = 0) how me to a simple example.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 100 * _parent._totalframes);
if (framePos < 0) {

I am embedding an mp3 into my Flex project for use as a sound effect, but I am finding that every time I play it, there is a delay of about half a second from when I call .play() to when you can hear the sound. This makes it weird because I want the sound effects to sync to game events. My mp3 itself is only about a fifth of a second long so it isn't because of the contents of the mp3.
I'm embedding with
[Embed(source="assets/Tock.mp3")]
[Bindable]
public static var TockSound:Class;
[Code]....
I know there's a delay because the sound plays about a half second after the Alert displays. I did consider that maybe it was the initial loading time of constructing the TockSound, but the delay is there on all the subsequent calls as well.
How can I avoid this delay on playing a sound?
Update: It turns out this delay is only present when playing the swf on Linux. I believe it is a Linux-specific flaw in Adobe's flash player.

I've got a Glow effect (glowIn) being applied to an object on the roll over which has a startDelay applied. I have another glow effect (glowOut) on roll out. If the user mouses out of the control during the startDelay of glowIn, I want to cancel the effect. How do I do this? In this instance, I'm using a glow effect with a startDelay of 300ms. I want a short pause before the item actually shows the effect, but I don't want the effect playing if the user mouses out during this time. I'm setting the properties as follows:
component.setStyle("rollOverEffect", glowIn);
component.setStyle("rollOutEffect", glowOut);
I don't think it matters much, but the component in question is a Series within a chart that gets created at runtime so I would prefer a solution in actionscript rather than mxml if possible.

I've got a simple text input which I want to use the errorstring tooltip on, ie. when you assign a value to errorstring it colours the textinput red and shows an error tooltip when you hover the mouse over it.
This all works fine, but there is a long delay (maybe 10 seconds) between when the mouse is over the offending textinput and when the tooltip appears. Does anyone know how to influence this delay? I've had a good look around, but can't find anything.

I need to realize a multiple-track player. The user can upload multiple tracks and mix (play them together). My problem is to allow the user to define an exact start position of each track to allow a synchronization between them, something like this:
Track 1: start at [x] sec.
Track 2: start at [y] sec.
play/stop
where the user can set the x and y. I've tried to realize it with AS2 (using netstream and setInterval) and AS3 (using netstream or sound and timer). Only if I set the same x and y both tracks are playing simultaneously.

I have a flex repeater for an accordion inside a TitleWindow that is quite slow, I've already set recycleChildren to true, which has helped, but it's still slow on the first load and causes the animation to stutter when I open the TitleWindow.
The repeater is just one part of what's visible in the TitleWindow, what I would like to do is have the repeater load after the rest of the content in the TitleWindow so the animation of the TitleWindow being opened doesn't stutter (the main problem).
