Create A Time Counter In One Single Frame
hi,

i need to know if somenone can tell me how can i create a time counter just with action scrpting, whithout any others frames or movieClips in the stage.

i want to create a slide show, that i'll get the imgs dynamicaly, and then i make a slideshow with them just by creating a loop that defines something like this..

(get the time when the photo apears)

(the loop starts counting 5 seconds for exemple)

(and then show next image and get the new time that it apears again)..

...and so on until the last image from the array.. then it starts again loading the first image...

THE PROBLEM is that i need this just by scripting...

can you help me please???

Control Time Delay On A Frame
Is there anyway in Flash anyone can control the amount of time when on a particular frame?

For example if I wanted a 5 second delay on frame 1. But then later I wanted it as 20 seconds. Is this possible without having to recompile the movie?

Thanks in advance.

I Couldn't Able To Do Control Sound By Using Single Button In Single Frame....
Hai All,

I've developed file with sound control. But i would like to do in single frame control by using buttons.

Actually i've to place mp3 files in each frame and it should be controled by on/off button. When file loading the audio should start play and button should be in OFF state.

When user click the button to make it sound on then audio should play. Every frame will be in stop action. So user will listen audios by clicking next button to go next frame to listem next frame audio.

So If user stops the audio in frame 1 and it should be globally controlled in rest of frames and if sound on globally for next frame audio.

Right now i developed by using:
frame 1:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.attachSound("Audio1");

and placed one movie clip in stage. Inside movieclip two button[on and off] in two frames separately.

Inside movieclip frame1:
this._parent._parent.my_sound.start();
stop();

and for ON button:
on (release){
this._parent._parent.my_sound.start();
gotoAndStop(2);
}

Frame2:
this._parent._parent.my_sound.stop();
stop();

and for OFF button:
on (release){
this._parent._parent.my_sound.stop();
gotoAndStop(1);
}

I hope somewhere i did mistake...

Can you please help me on this and give me an idea to make it.

Thanks
Sathish

Hi,

I am brand new to Flash® 8 Professional. I have many year experiece as a Visual C++ programmer, but am having some troubles learning to code in Actionscript2.0...

I wish to have an Actionscript2.0 function that does the following:
Delay for x milliseconds, but if user clicks mouse in Flash document then delay is immediately over.

Can someone with experience give me some hints on how to code this in Actionscript2.0? I am using Flash® 8 Professional.

Thanks in advance!

Single Delay Using SetInterval
To those who use setInterval on a regular basis....

I finally got tired of clearing my singular intervals, so I wrote this handy little delay script. It creates anonymous intervals which run callback funcitons, then terminate themselves immediately.

Let me know what you think of it. Cheers...


ActionScript Code:
// _____________________________________________________________________
/*
    setDelay - 1.0 - Performs a callback function using a singular setInterval
    Author - Dan Solo - [email]ds@ayeden.com[/email]
   
    --- Example ---
    setDelay(function, milliseconds, arg1, arg2, ...);
    setDelay(object, "method", milliseconds, arg1, arg2, ...);
*/
// _____________________________________________________________________
// setDelay global function
_global.setDelay = function () {
    DSDelayManager.parse(arguments);
};
// _____________________________________________________________________
// delay manager object
DSDelayManager = {
    interval_array: []
};
// _____________________________________________________________________
// parse the arguments
DSDelayManager.parse = function (args) {
    var mode = typeof args[0];
    if (mode == "function" || mode == "object") {
        this.runInt(mode, args);
    } else {
        this.errorMsg("invalid argument used");
    }
};
// _____________________________________________________________________
// set an interval using mode
DSDelayManager.runInt = function (mode, args) {
    switch(mode) {
        case "function": var milliseconds = args[1]; break;
        case "object": var milliseconds = args[2]; break;
    }
    var index = this.interval_array.length;
    this.interval_array.push(setInterval(this, "runCall", milliseconds, mode, index, args));
};
// _____________________________________________________________________
// run the callback function
DSDelayManager.runCall = function (mode, index, args) {
    clearInterval(this.interval_array[index]);
    delete this.interval_array[index];
    switch(mode) {
        case "function":
            var callObj = null;
            var callFunc = args[0];
            var startArgs = 2;
            break;
        case "object":
            var callObj = args[0];
            var callFunc = callObj[args[1]];
            var startArgs = 3;
            break;
    }
    if (typeof callFunc != "function") {
        this.errorMsg("invalid callback function");
        return;
    }
    var arg_array = [];
    for (var i = startArgs; i < args.length; i++) { arg_array.push(args[i]); }
    callFunc.apply(callObj, arg_array);
};
// _____________________________________________________________________
// error trace
DSDelayManager.errorMsg = function (message) {
    trace(">> setDelay error: " + message);
};

Who To Load 114 Clips One Single Time ?
ok,

i have 114 small movieClips made with duplicateMovieClip...
we have a script that loads from external folders some pictures (JPG)... when i click on the button 1, all 114 clips must show external JPG1... then i click button 4, in all 114 clips must load the external JPG4 etc...

my problem is that the player loads the same JPG 114 times and that's horrible... it fills all the bandwidth and i want to know if i can load the specific JPG in one single "temporary moviclip" (invisible) and all the other 114 movieClips to follow the JPG from the loaded temp clip...

so, there's no sense to load 114 clips with the same JPG when i can download it to a single one and the others to use that load...

hope i was clear enough...
many thanks

Fps In A Single-frame App
Hi guys.

I'm developing an app in flash, and it only has a single frame in the timeline, everything is scripted.
Since it's my very first flash work when i started it i left the "fps" settings in my main fla in the default 12fps that Flash8 has. Now i have a few dragable components into my stage and they are working great but if i wonder if increasing the fps would do the drag looks more smoothly... because i've read that fps determines the "refreshing" of everything, Is that true?

If it is..are there any cons on increasing fps?
In the other hand those dragable elements are imported to library from other fla's...is there any difference changing those fla's fps?

Thanks!

Time Delay
I want to add a time delay within a loop. The loop controls the speed of ten objects but without a delay they all move into place at the same time. I want them to be staggered so at the end of each loop it pauses for 500 milliseconds. Does anyone know how I can do this,
Pete

Time Delay
My code on an object is:


Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._visible=false
x=random(10)
if(x==0){
this._visible=true
}
}
I want the this._visible=true to last about two seconds, but I want the rest of the movie still going.

I've tried both


Code:
_root.delay.play()
do {
this._visible=true
} while(_root.delay._currentframe<40)
And


Code:
time=GetTimer()/1000
do {
this._visible=true
} while(GetTimer()/1000 - time < 2)
But they both freeze up my Flash player...
Any suggestions?

Time Delay
hi!! i have a movie in which i inserted a time delay.
what it does is simply that a phrase appears, stays for 3 seconds and disappears again. it works fine BUT the problem is that while the WHILE loop operates, all other animated swf files on my HTML page freeze!! can this be avoided?
thanks!!!

(here's my script)
delay=3000;
startTime=getTimer();
currentTime=getTimer();
while (currentTime - startTime < delay) {
currentTime = getTimer();
}
play();

Time Delay? Anyone? Please?
Is there a way of scripting a time delay in Flash? Basically a lot like a screensaver, if a user does not move the mouse for more than a set number of minutes, tell the movie to go to a default frame/menu etc.

I'm sure there is a quite simple wy of doing this, I'm more of a designer, my scripting is fairly basic........

Time Delay
Hello Flashkitters,

My Problem:

I have this script to read a php file on frame 1:


loadVariablesNum("scripts/read/read2.php", 0, "POST");
loadVariables("scripts/read/read.php", "text2", "POST");


Can this scrpt be implmented/re-done so that it would run it every 30 seconds or so?

I cannot use the time line as a delay becuase it is amzingly compleated with other scripts and files written on it.

Thanks in Advance.

Time Delay?
I am trying to get this object to move somewhere and to stop for a given duration (2-3seconds).

I have it set up so that it does move to the location, and everything works fine, but It is not staying in the location for the ammount of time I want.

What actionscript do I need to add to get it to pause?

Here is what I have right now.


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (myMouse) {
_x += (125-_x)/3;
_y += (350-_y)/3;
} else {
_x += (_root._xmouse-_x)/3;
_y += (_root._ymouse-_y)/3;
}

Time Delay
I have set up a site where each page is a unique swf file. Each page has a preloader with a visual for the user displaying percentage loaded. When I navigate to a couple of the pages the screen goes blank and then the preloader shows up having already partially loaded the swf (It will start at 25% rather than at 1%). What can be causing this? I've already created new pages from scratch thinking something might've gotten corrupted but that didn't help. Thank you.

Time Delay
I am using a localConnection in order to send a variable between two flash movies, the problem is that the second flash movie(the one recieving the variable) needs to already be open.

I was wondering if their was a way to delay when the variable is sent.

I am opening the new movie via getURL and sending the variable on the
on(press) action and it must be done this way, I was just wondering if their was a way to slow down when the variable is sent, possibly with setInterval.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Time Delay?
I have a series of quotes inside of individual movie clips.

On the first frame, on the first layer, i have actionscript that says :

quotes = random(96) + 0;
gotoAndPlay(quotes);

This randomly picks a frame, and plays the frame. This is good, but i want to put a time delay in between each frame/quote. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Time Delay Help
Hi, I've been having a hard time with setInterval and clearInterval functions.

This is my code:

counter = false;

function waitAwhile() {
this._alpha = 100;
counter = true;
trace (counter);
clearInterval (timer);
}


this.btn_rt.onRollOut = function (){
menu_clip.onEnterFrame = function() {trace (counter)
if (counter == false) {
timer = setInterval (waitAwhile, 3000);}

else {

this._alpha -=50;
counter = false;
}
if (this._alpha <=1){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}


}
}

this.btn_rt.onRollOver = function (){
menu_clip.onEnterFrame = function() {

if (this._alpha >=99) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
else {this._alpha += 50;

}
}
}


this.menu_clip._alpha = 0;

It's supposed to delay a clip by 3 seconds before it fades. it works the first time but but when I rollOut again, it won't delay.

I put a trace and it seems that the it didnt listen to the clearInterval function and it kept going. Shouldn't it have stopped my previous setInterval?



I really hope someone can help.

hi all,

I have a movie script on the stage.
After a delay of 3sec, I want the movie clip to move to a new location. I attached the following to an instance of the movie clip that is on stage:

onClipEvent (load) {
this._x = 200;
this._y = 200;
apause();
function apause() {
start=getTimer();
if (start>3000){
break;
}
}
this._x = 400;
this._y = 200;
}

It goes to the location 400,200 immediately without the delay.

Time Delay
How would I go about in actionscript putting in a "play delay"?

for example, In layer 1 I have 10 frames. On the 10th frame is a stop(); and button that says:


Quote:




on (release) {
play();
}




So it would play, stop, and move ahead after 15 seconds or if the user presses the button. Something like in Gamespots little flash window. How would I go about doing this?

Cheers

Time Delay
Hi all,

I have a bunch of screenshots accompanied by sound clips,
each screenshot has its's own sound clip. Now I've created a
vcr like interface, but I want the movie to be able to play from beginning to end as an option.

Now, to do this I thought what could work is if I take the time (length) of a soundclip and tell the relevant screenshot (Frame) to delay playing for this amount of time. In this way someone could still navigate through or just press play and after every narration is done the timeline will advance to the next screen.

"THE QUESTION"
How do I set such a delay as a frame action? (or whatever you think might achieve this.)
