[YoukilledQWERTY]

god damit is their a way of reseting the timer back to zero please help

[BrokenCak3]

@YoukilledQWERTY

Ofcourse my friend :)

timer = 50;

countdown = function(){ timer--; if(timer==0){ clearInterval(countdownInterva­l); timer = 50; }

}

countdownInterval = setInterval(countdown,1000);

"now when the timer reach zero the timer will reset to 50"

[YoukilledQWERTY]

im making a game and if the timer runs out i want it to go to a frame (you lose screen) but when i win it goes to the next level and starts it but when the timer runs out it goes to lose screen. ive tried deleting it from the next level but it still goes to the losing screen. my assignment is due next week could you please help. is their a script that could disable the countdown. PLEASE HELP

[YoukilledQWERTY]

@YoukilledQWERTY dont wory i found it. if any1 has the same problem just write in the layer of your timer on the frame you want it to stop write the action for the frame

"timer = (stop)"

[bryanjerlyn]

great

[richeedsf]

when i put the code in, it says ERROR, and im using CS3! whats wrong with the script?

[BrokenCak3]

This coding is made in as2. actionscript 2.0

[0987654321284]

@richeedsf did you insert "code:" into the script because that is not part of it.

[evilmonkey477]

For those of you who want the timer to go to another frame a stop;() command is needed at the top and you have to enter the desired frame # you wish to jump to.

so like this

stop;

imer = 10;

countdown = function(){ timer--; if(timer==0){ clearInterval(countdownInterva­l); gotoAndPlay(231);/////change 231 to the desired frame number

}

}

countdownInterval = setInterval(countdown,1000);

[evilmonkey477]

my mistake forgot to add the () to the stop on the first line of code it has to be stop();

[xSpeedyxxx]

this doesn't work...

I used it in a target shooting game, with a timer, and when I put in another frame the target and everthing just jumps around very quickly and the "vinnersframe" is jumping... What should I do??

[CheerBoyX1]

hey what about if you want to put a countdown ona picture????

[boneykamikazi1]

alright, how do you make the timer go up in time, from zero to like thirty

[MrIrony1]

i cannot tell you how much this has helped me on my game

[BrokenCak3]

glad to help :D

[akmi5]

nice man thanks

[BrokenCak3]

so if you want to know how to go to another frame when timer reach 0, then just and behind

clearinterval(countdowntimer); gotoAndStop("number of the frame");

[Urbanz1975]

How to you speed up a flash timer like the ones they use in online schools?

[BrokenCak3]

if you want to speed up the timer you need to change the number of the setinterval.

like: countdowninterval = setinterval(countdown,"yourNum­ber");

and if you type in 100 in "yourNumber" the timer is gonna go faster. :)

[lukedawson]

How do you make the timer carry on into a different frame?

[sakiinlaq]
