Get The Current Time As Either A String Or A Number?
Jun 12, 2006
Does anyone know an url where I can get the current time as either a string or a number? Or how do I solve the problem that flash can't create an external time? Or does anybody have a
perl-file that they wouldn't mind sharing with me that could do the trick
i have a project and i need that when a specific variable equals a specific value a random number decreases on the current number, its easy to make it decrease but i need to decrease instead of 4 to decrease a maximun of 5 and minimun of 3.ere is the code :
Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
I feel like such an idiot but after trying endlessly I still haven't managed to come up with a way to display the current frame number of nested movie clip ("ecke1") (in a dynamically created text field).The problem really is that I don't know how to have flash keep updating the variable. Here's my latest attempt:
Code: var frame:int = 0; addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,updateframe,false,0,true);
I need to trace the current level number that I am working on. So say I have 3 swf's loaded onto different levels (_level0, _level1, _level2, _level3), and each has a button, so when I press the button in level1, the number will trace 1, press button in level2, number will be 2, etc.
I want to get the current frame and current scene because I want to be able to return to that same exact scene and frame when I click a button that goes to a different scene. When I click a button that says "Exit" I want to go back to the same spot as before.
I have a movieclip placed in the main timeline. Inside that movieclip, there is another movieclip.I need to know the current frame number of the inner movieclip when the animation is playing.And report that current frame number back to the actionscript in the main timeline.
I have a slider where I check the current value to see if it's within various number ranges. I'm basically running the same comparison over and over for 14 range sets. Is there a way to not have to hard code each one?The snippet below is hard coded 14 times with incrementing boxes[x] values. boxes[x] is a predefined array:
I'm uploading a bunch of base-64 encoded images via an HTTP post. I'm doing this using the URLLoader.load() function. I've added a ProgressEvent, but it only gets fired for the response...after the upload is complete.
At the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
I've checked the forum a couple times, couldn't find an answer.this file gets local time, and then adds 5 minutes to it, problem is that when the minutes gets to 60 it continues because it's getting the actual time from the first time and just adding 5 to it
I've been trying to create a script that pulls the current time and turns it into a variable, the problem is the variable keeps updating as the time changes, where as I need it to remain static as the time that is was when the variable was first created...it's just a simple:
I've got this code that displays the time but, I want the time to display dynamically, updated by the user's sytem clock so it always displays the "current time".
I have a flash file of a snowman doing various activities. He's doing 7 different things (all individual movie clips) and I place each of the movie clips on the first 7 frames, I placed a stop action on each one.Here is the code I used
var myDate = new Date(); var localHours = this.myDate.getHours(); if (this.localHours>=6 || this.localHours<=18)
I'm trying to sync video with content. I can use cuepoints in Flash CS5 for that, or I can use FLVplayercaptions to sync video with caption. Is there a way to know the current time of playback?
of course i could hardcode that - but if I then change something about the as file, the linenumbers won't be correct anymore, or maybe i rename the as file and so on. It'd be great to be able to create that string somehow using compiler directives. Is this Possible in an AIR application created with ActionScript 3.0?
