Re: [Flashcoders] timer question

2007-03-26 Thread Mauricio Furtado Massaia 

Or u can use a setTimeout in Flash 8.

example:



function aaa():Void
{
   trace( aaa called!);
}

setTimeout( this , aaa , 1000); // 1000 milli = 1sec





or use setInterval :

var myInterval;

function aaa()
{
   trace( aaa called! )
   clearInterval( myInterval );
}

myInterval = setInterval( this , aaa , 1000 );



hugs

It doesn't trace plus 10 because you're calling it when you declare 
all your variables, rather than 10 seconds later when seconds == 
newSeconds. You'll need an onEnterFrame or other loop running to 
check, and one of the checks will have to be invoked during the 
single second when it's 10 seconds after var seconds is declared.

Re: [Flashcoders] timer question

2007-03-25 Thread Hans Wichman 

Hi,
your example is:
seconds = a;
newSeconds = a+10;
if (seconds == newSeconds)

in other words
if (seconds = seconds+10)

that will never work.

Look into setInterval and there is a undocumented setTimeout function
somewhere I think.

Better yet write your own Timer and TimerEvent class to wrap this kind of
stuff.

Re: [Flashcoders] timer question

2007-03-25 Thread eka 

Hello :)

do you use the setInterval method ?

var cpt:Number = 0 ;

var action:Function = function ( msg )
{
  trace( msg ) ;
  if ( cpt ++ == 20 )
  {
  clearInterval(id) ;
  trace(stop the timer) ;
  }
}

var id = setInterval( action, 1, plus 10 seconds) ;

EKA+ :)

RE: [Flashcoders] timer question

2007-03-25 Thread Jesse Graupmann (FILTER) 
In your example, seconds doesn't really mean anything. 60 seconds plus 10 
seconds should never equal 70 seconds - you want it to equal 10 seconds.

Maybe try...

var seconds = 10;
var now = new Date();
var future = new Date();
future.setSeconds ( now.getSeconds() + seconds ); // will auto adjust the time
trace( 'now: ' + now )
trace( 'future: ' + future )
trace( 'time is up: ' + (now.getTime()  future.getTime()) )



I found it better to use Date.getTime() and work with the milliseconds, like;


//
//  TIME VERSION
//

var timeoutInterval:Number;
var seconds:Number = 3;
var now:Number = getTimer();

function startTimer ( time:Number ) {
timeoutInterval = _global.setTimeout ( this, 'onTimesUp', time * 1000 );
}

function clearTimer ( ) {
_global.clearTimeout ( timeoutInterval );
}

function onTimesUp ( ){

trace( ' \n onTimesUp \n' )

var then = now/1000;
var now = getTimer()/1000;

trace( 'TIME VERSION ::  then: ' + then + ' now: ' + now + ' = ' + 
(now-then) );


var nowD:Date = new Date( );
var timechange = futureD.getTime( ) - nowD.getTime( );

trace( 'DATE VERSION ::  timeup: ' + (timechange0) + ', ' + 
(timechange/1000) + ' seconds ago' );
}

startTimer ( seconds );



//
//  DATE VERSION
//

var nowD:Date = new Date( );
var futureD:Date = new Date ( (seconds*1000) + nowD.getTime( ) );
var timechange = futureD.getTime( ) - nowD.getTime( );

trace( 'nowD: ' + nowD );
trace( 'futureD: ' + futureD );
trace( 'timechange: ' + (timechange/1000) + ' seconds' );
trace( 'time up: ' + (timechange0) )
