Stopwatch Type Timer For Game?
Jul 8, 2009
I've got game for kids where you click the right coloured circle.Its not really a game as I'm writing my dissertation on designing interfaces for kids. You didn't ned to know that. Basically, I've made a game where you click the right coloured circle to go to the next level, and what I need is a timer that starts when you click "play" and ends when the last circle is clicked. This is so they can see how long it has taken them.
I have uploaded the fla file here http:[url]....f you could take a look, it's not a big file.I have searched for a while and Ive managed to make counters but only ones that start when the movie loads and I don't know how to stop them.

how I can put a stopwatch or a timer in my animation? I know how to do the digital clock, but I don't want it to tell me what time of day it is, I want it to time the actions of my clips on the stage.

im trying to create a tamagotchi game type game. For some reason i can not add any items to the stage.Currently i have imported 2 png images to the stage and coverted them to movie clips. One is called TamagotchiCharacter and the other is called Beer. I have also created a new 2 AS3.0 script class called TamagotchiGame and DraggableItem. The following is TamagotchiGame:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class TamagotchiGame extends MovieClip {
[code]....
I have assigned the above code as the BaseClass of the Beer symbol, this has allowed the beer to become draggable and droppable etc.when i run the program nothing happens, i just get a blank white screen.

I've been trying to make my own flash game based on the kirupa tutorial: url...My scripting is very similar to the scripting in the tutorial, but I obviously adapted it to my own design. Now I�m trying to add a time limit, which when the time reaches 0 it jumps to the time up screen. I have spent two whole days searching on google, trying loads of suggestions, trying to figure this out myself.[code]This scripting works on a test page (i.e. away from the actual game) but when I try to add it to my game it deletes the main movieclip (in this case a tank) which is used to play the game.

I just want to create a simple timer for a car game which notes the lap time each time you cross the finish line. I then want to be able to use the "gotoAndPlay (frame number)" once either a certain amount of laps have been completed or when the timer hits a specified number.I have exhausted tutorials, none of which actually work - what im looking for is 'i think' actually quite simple but i am having great difficulty.... The car game tutorial with 4 parts which seems to pop up everywhere does not help as it is very complex and can only be used when the game is designed in the way that the guys has made it.

I have pasted the error message, along with the code I am using below.

I have a timer and a dynamic textfield wich displays the time. Everytime my movieclip hits an enemy I want the timer to add 4 sec. to the current count. I would like to know why this isn't working:
timer.currentCount + 4;
(does nothing)
timer.currentCount += 4;

I have a game which was built in AS2, I am trying to make a countdown timer so the game starts without the start button.
This is what currently prompts the game to start after "plat_btn" is pressed
play_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
_root.menu.customItems[0].visible = _root.menu.customItems[1].visible = _root.menu.customItems[2].visible = true;

i've got a simple demo for a spot the difference game,you click, find the differences, if you find all 5, the find count goes down to 0 and you get a win screen.. that's fine if you don't find them all within 30 seconds, it goes to a loose screen, that's also fine the problem comes when you click to replay and then seemingly for no good reason, the timer skips more than 1 number a second.. this is the code i'm using on the timer
Code:
count = 30;
countdown = function(){
count--;

Basically what happens is 5 eggs fall from the top of the screen. What I'm trying to have happen is, to have flash recognize when all 5 have been clicked and goto and stop on frame 3. The other problem is I want the animation to reset when the timer runs out. Thus clearing all current eggs off the stage. I've zipped the 2 files I'm working with the (fla and as files).

I'm new with flash and I'm having some trouble with my script. The idea is to start the game by pressing the start button, and the countdown starts. The start button will then disappear. In 60 seconds, the idea is to try to drag all the garbage objects into the respective recycling bins. Only 1 try per object.The object will return to it's original position if it's been placed wrongly, mouseevent for that object is then disabled.
After 60 seconds, the game will end and all mouseevents are disabled. The start button reappears and I can restart the game again.

The game is like Asteroids where four rocks are placed in the corners of the stage at the beginning and then start moving randomly around the stage. The problem is the timer used is started the moment that the flash file starts not the moment the player clicks the start button. So if you are on the start screen for 5 seconds before you click play when the game actually begins the rocks are where they would be after 5 seconds of play, which could be right over the player.

import flash.display.*;

We have a flash game being developed in actionscript 3 and it runs much more slowly on our remote server.The game specs:-8 different movie clips, all 1 frame static png files from 10x10 to 100x100anywhere from 10 to 60 instancesof those MCs on screen at any given timeevent loop is run from a flash Timer at 25msall interaction is via the keyboardThe strange thing is, we publish the swf file and run it locally and everything is fast.We copy the swf to a remote server and everything runs much more slowly. The music plays at normal speed, but the movieclips all move around the screen at about half speed.
Why would the file run differently when fetched from a remote server? Isn't the swf always being run locally anyway? Also, we ran it locally and remotely with the task manager running and it does not seem to consume much CPU or memory.EDIT: Ok, this is really weird. I added a framecounter textfield to the game. It reports the number of ms since the last timer tick. It consistently reports 50ms. My timer is clearly set to 25. This explains the half speed, but what explains this? I also added a check on the timer.Interval property to see if it had changed and it hasn't; it's still set to 25 while the game is running.ode to use ENTER_FRAME instead of timer, and it works. I get the full 40fps, give or take a few %. Still not sure what's wrong with the timer though; if it was being delayed by the time spent in my loop it would fluctuate, but it doesn't. It's 50ms every time no matter how much is going on.Here's the code I'm using(more or less):
t = new Timer(25);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerTick);
t.start();

I'm following a tutorial to make a simple game. The aim of the game is for a player to evade a flying enemy ; the higher the score, the faster the enemy. The main elements in the game are the enemy the player and a score card.However, from following the tutorial, and adding the dynamic text field etc....the score doesn't actually work.This is the code that I was instructed to place on the first frame of the Scripts layer:
//Game Variables
enemySpeed = 5; //Set Enemy initial speed
numberEnemy = 4; //Change this to add more Enemies
score = 0; //Set initial score to 0

[URL], but this is a completely different question. I now have a fully functionnal jet plane which fires tiny red bullets. Now, I want to be able to alternate between bullet/ammo types on the fly, (with a shortcut like shift or something, but not neceserilly that) from the red bullet to something like a yellow laser. I'll attach the file I have up to now.

I'm trying to create a timer event to delay the instantiation of my movie clip on the stage but I keep getting the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property Timer through a reference with static type Class I'm confused with how to proceed. I thought Timer was a term already in the AS3 library, so how can it be undefined?

I'm thinking of building a game along the lines of Farmville - items, events, time management system etc. Options I am thinking of:
1) Flash UI frontend that uses AMFPHP to get all data for the view from a PHP powered backend.
2) Actionscript to power the whole game
My concern with Actionscript is scaling, my concern with PHP is having to build an update system that would need a lot of back and forth xmlhttprequests which might get complicated.

I am hammering out a Tower Defense type game. I'm starting to design my custom unit mechanics. I've used numerous other tutorials for the framework here (largely one mans blog - credited in my AS3 file..) I want when a unit dies, that it runs a function - checks a field I've created within the unit called a 'tag' - and depending on that do other things. From within the kill() function I successfully call my infantryDeath() function, and I've verified within kill() it's recognizing the dead objects tag. I've verified the entry into infantryDeath() and that the tag is still the same.
Here's the problem:
function infantryDeath(creep){
//inGameMessage("infantryDeath() successfully called"); <-- works
//inGameMessage("Unit died with ID: " + creep.tag); <-- properly shows the ID of the "creep" it received
inGameMessage(this); <-- prints out _level0 (the id for the level itself)
if (creep.tag = c1) <-- the unit with this tag dies, and triggers this block successfully{

I have no clue why the object I'm supposedly working with changes just by virtue of being within the "if" block. If I pass an object into a function shouldn't manipulating that object remain constant within that function?
