Flash :: Time Controlled Flash

A Time Controlled Movie
hello, i was wondering, how do you add time to a random .swf movie? i have different .swf appearing each time you hit a refresh button and i was wondering how to add a timer so that the .swf changes every 15 seconds. right now my script looks like this...

randomClips = new Array("d+l A_news.swf", "maashaven B_news.swf", "maashaven A_news.swf", "gipsy A_news.swf", "gipsy B_news.swf", "d+l B_news.swf", "gw A_news.swf", "gw B_news.swf","soundscapes A_news.swf", "soundscapes B_news.swf");
//this is on one line//
//next lines reads this//
function randomBackground() {
randomNumber = random(randomClips.length);
loadMovie(randomClips[randomNumber], "_root.mtClip");
}
randomBackground();

what is the time script and where would it go?

Time Controlled Buttons
My problem is this: I need to learn how to create buttons that have a time controlled rollover and rollout movie. I alreaddy know how to do a basic solution for this (actionscript controls the rollover activating a "start" movie and the rollout activating an "end" movie). What I need is to have the rollout movie (usually the inverse frames of the rollover one) activating on the same frame as the rollover. Example: I have a 10 frames movie for the rollover situation. If i rollout on the, for instance, 6th frame, I want the "end" movie (activated on rollout) not to start on its beggining (frame 1, equal to frame 10 of the "start" movie), but on frame 4 (that is equal to the 6th frame on the "start" movie). This way, if the movie would be like a door, she wouldnt close beggining on its maximum opening, she would close from the point where I just opened. Sorry if this sounds complicated, english isnt my birth language. I thank any help given.

Movieclip Controlled By Time/day?
I have no idea how to go about this, but what i'd like is a movieclip to change from one frame to another depending on the time and day...

Its for a project i am working on in flash (for uni), we are building simple websites but i'd like for an "open" or "closed" sign (like on a shop door) to display the correct instance in accordance with the time/day (shop should be open 9-5 mon-fri)...

Can anyone help me out with this? (i'm a bit of a n00b)

If anybody can help it would be most appreciated - AS 1.0/2.0 preferred.

I Buy You A BEER If You Can Help Me Out ---troubles Creating A Time Controlled Loop
What I want to do is create a loop witch is controlled by time:

after 10 seconds it must go to the frame with label '"foto1"
after 20 secs it goes to "foto2" ect etc until after 40 secs it is on "foto4"
THEN (after 50 secs) is must go back to "foto1"

I tried differnt ways to do this but still can't get it working, here are 2 of the scripts:

onClipEvent (load) {
tijdbegin = Math.floor(getTimer());
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
tijd = (tijdnu-tijdbegin)/1000;
tijdnu = Math.floor(getTimer());
if (tijd>10 && tijd<11) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto1");
}
if (tijd>20 && tijd<21) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto2");
}
if (tijd>30 && tijd<31) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto3");
}
if (tijd>40 && tijd<41) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto4");
tijd -= 40;
}
}

*this one must reset the timer to 0 after 40 secs but this way does not seem to work

The second one:

onClipEvent (load) {
tijdbegin = Math.floor(getTimer());
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
tijdnu = Math.floor(getTimer());
tijd = (tijdnu-tijdbegin)/1000;
if (tijd>_root.a && tijd<(_root.a+1)) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto1");
}
if (tijd>_root.b && tijd<(_root.b+1)) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto2");
}
if (tijd>_root.c && tijd<(_root.c+1)) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto3");
}
if (tijd>_root.d && tijd<(_root.d+1)) {
_root.gotoAndStop("foto4");

}
}

*The first keyframe has the following actions:
stop ();
a = 10;
b = 20;
c = 30;
d = 40;

*On the keyframe labelled "foto4" is has the following actions:
_root.a += 10;
_root.b += 10;
_root.c += 10;
_root.d += 10;

*Problem here is that when it reached frame "foto4" it jumps to "foto3" and starts looping between "foto3" and "foto4" and it only shows "foto4" in a flash

Hoping someone can help me out here.......

Silent Sound Streaming For Controlled Time/speed
Topic: Silent sound loop set to stream so your animation will play the same on every computer regardless of processor speed...

I am on the right track because I added 1 second of silence, streamed and looping on each & every scene and this DID control the speed of the entire animation as a whole!!! YAHOO!

BUT...as close as I am, I am still far from the final solution. You see, now I would like to slow it down because it is playing too fast at the moment -- Even though it is playing the same speed on every computer which is extremely important! (thank God I got it to do that!!!!)

How can I slow it down? I tried adjusting the number of times the silent sound loops but it is not making any great difference to slow it down as a whole!!
I went from 60 loops to 2 loops to 100 loops to 500 loops. I even timed each individual scene and put down that figure for the loop number in each different scene.

Does this ring any bells? Or does anyone have any ideas, familiarity with this at all?

Many thanks!
I'll try anything at this point! -- I know we are close!!

Rollover Controlled Rotation. Flash MX
I'm trying to set up an object pano in Flash. I have a rendered 3d object I would like to rotate. I have the sequence of images imported. I have a forward arrow button and a back arrow button. I would like these to start the rotation (playback) in either direction when rollover and stop when rollout. I would like it to keep rotating (looping) indefinitely if you continue to Rollover. I just can't get the reverse direction to work. Forward is easy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can Flash Movies Be Controlled Via Z-index? (i.e., Layered?)
Hey there - I'm wondering if Flash movies can be controlled via CSS using z-index? In other words, can you layer them? It seems like you cannot and Flash is always on top. What if there are two flash movies on a page - which is on top?

What if you wanted to put an absolute positioned DIV on top of a flash movie - can you do that? Again, seems like not, but I want to be sure.

Thanks

Flash 8 AS Help - Checkbox Controlled Dynamic Textbox
Hi!

I am very new to Flash, and I am having trouble getting a dynamic text box to be controlled by a checkbox. Is this even possible? Here is the Actionscript that does not work:

on(click){
if(this.selected)==true){
this.selected = true;
cyclicFeedback_txt.text = "text here";
}else{
this.selected = false;
cyclicFeedback_txt.text = "the other text";
};

I have another problem that I might as well ask too. I would like to have users check the box, and not be able to see what is in the dynamic text box until they click a button called "submit".

Thank you very much for your help!

Record The Date & Time Each Time The Flash File Is Played
Hello,

Do you know an action script which will be inserted into each flash
file that is played on a stand alone display monitor.
The display monitor plays several separate flash files using load an un load movie. The script should do
the following:
1. Record the date & time each time the flash file is played
2. Record the file name that played
3. Append this information to a text/log file
This application would be used in-house and is not for the web. I did check out this tatorial useing XML but I counldn't get it to work.

Saving XML to a file when used locally

Saving xml to a file when used locally can be done in two ways, the first is this:
Cookie.setCookie(xmlobj)
and the second way is this:

yourxmlobj.toString() FSCommand("save","filename.xml")

Can you Please give me some kind of direction
Thanks!

How Are These Movies Controlled?
Hi

Could someone take a look at http://www.urchin.com/

You will see in the bottom left corner there is a flash movie that when you put your mouse over one of the titles say "corporate" it plays the movie associated to that title, and when you mouse off, it cycles through all the logos. This is the same for the other titles "Education", "Government" etc.

How would this be achieved, could someone please give me some help!

Playlist Controlled Into Non-playlist Controlled?
Hi,

I have made a mp3 player based upon (but with my own design) this tutorial:

http://www.thegoldenmean.com/techniq...yer_v2_01.html

But as in my original design there is no room (or need) for a visual playlist, I want to get rid of it. I want my player to be completely controllable by these four buttons: prev/stop/play-pause/next, instead of having to double click in the playlist to enable playing of a song.
(Basically the player exists ONLY out of these four buttons, visually).

Is there some kind of standard/procedure/tutorial for turning playlist controlled mp3-players into button-controlled mp3-players?

Does anyone wanna give it a go? All tips would be appreciated as I have unsuccessfully tried it myself for ..many many hours now.

I've attached the .fla as well as a zipfile containing 3 other files (songList.xml.php, arrays.php, id3v2.php) which should be placed in a folder called "tracks" (in that same folder mp3 files should be place in order to test the player)

regards,

M.T.Pilot

(n.b. I used flash MX pro and actionscript 1.0 for this)

Controlled Loop?
I know the most basic command in ActionScripts to keep my
Flash video from looping (stop();). Can I apply that command if I want
to end on a scene used previously in the movie (as in the example in
the
notes)? How does that work such that my movie doesn't stop after the
initial use of that scene and go no further?

Ideally, I would like to use the same scene as an opening and closing
sequence to my movie. However, after the second use, I would like to
have text saying "The End." Is there an if/then statement that defines
if this has played before or something?

Help W. Timeline Controlled Mcs
I've been successful controlling my movie clips from the main timeline however I recently entered a text movie clip into the timeline and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to control the movie from the timeline. I can get it to play, but the movie stops there.
I've been using:

Code:
stop();
_root.gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
but with the text effect where it uses so much AS I dont know what to put to make it continue on to the next frame label when its completed.

Code:
stop();
//
textvar = textvar.split("");
//
this.letter_mc._visible = false;
//
numberOfLetters = 0;
Xsetter = this.letter_mc._x;
thisTimeline = this;
//
buildLetters = function () {
if (numberOfLetters<textvar.length) {
//
duplicateMovieClip(letter_mc, "letter_"+numberOfLetters, numberOfLetters+1);
//
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].shadow_txt_mc.textbox.text = textvar[numberOfLetters];
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].top_txt2_mc.textbox.text = textvar[numberOfLetters];
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].top_txt_mc.textbox.text = textvar[numberOfLetters];
//
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].shadow_txt_mc.textbox.autoSize = true;
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].top_txt2_mc.textbox.autoSize = true;
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].top_txt_mc.textbox.autoSize = true;
//
thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters]._x = Xsetter;
//
Xsetter += thisTimeline["letter_"+numberOfLetters].top_txt_mc.textbox._width;
numberOfLetters++;
//
} else {
clearInterval(letterInterval);
}
};
//
letterIntervel = setInterval(buildLetters, 110);
I've defied the pass variable and just freeformed my text in on the MC frame AS. if someone could help me figure out how to make this movie perhaps, onClipEvent.stop and go to the designated frame label I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

One Button, Two MC's Controlled
I have one MC with the following AS:stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
}
_root.about_btn.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
}
_root.about_btn.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
}This works fine. However, I want the button "about_btn" to also control a second MC, but flip the rewind properties, like so:stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
}
_root.about_btn.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = true;
}
_root.about_btn.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
}but no such luck with the second MC. Even if I apply the same AS code to the second MC, it still won't work. Thoughts?

Controlled Chain Reaction?
I am handling a dangerous piece of script here: I would like to create some sort of chain reaction where one Mc gets cloned then these two have two other duplicates and so on.

I am struggling with the fact that my code inherited from one MC to the next causes an uncontrolled cloning frenzy. How can I do this in a controlled way without the code crashing on me?

I noticed that a lot of the duplicates carry the same name. How can I prevent this?

Code:
///onload Movieclip
Movieclip.prototype.createDupe=function(Clip){

i=Math.floor(Math.random()*3);

if(_root.Dupe10==undefined){

var thisDupe = Number(Clip._name.substr(4));
newDupe= thisDupe+Direction[i];

///duplicate and name MC Dupe
duplicateMovieClip(Clip,"Dupe"+ newDupe, newDupe);

///put the new dupe in place
_root["Dupe"+ newDupe]._x = _root.Clip._x+XPosition[i];
_root["Dupe"+ newDupe]._y = _root.Clip._x+YPosition[i];

}else{
break;
}

};

Is anybody out there with a genuine idea?

Subnavigation Controlled In HTML
Hi guys,

I'm very bad at actionscripting so I'll ask you guys:

I found a site that controlled its subnavigation via HTML with this code:

EMBED id="flashmovie" src="./swf/nav/diensten_sub.swf?mNav=2&sNav=2&basehref=http://www.usmedia.nl/"

I can see in this code they send variables to the swf diensten_sub.swf (?mNav=2&sNav=2). What does this do exactly, and how? Are they pointing the swf to a certain scene?

I'm creating a side I dont want to make in frames, but when pushing a button it loads a new HTML with the same swf, but the button has to stay highlighted. Usually it reloads the swf and it starts at the beginning...

any ideas on how to do this?

thanks
