Re: FLASH: Chopped liver . . . yeah that's me . . . [WAS]Timer To Play If Next Button Not Pressed

[2Nerotik]

It's actually very easy.


In the first frame of you movie put

Set Variable: "Delay" = 30

Set Variable: "Elapsed" = 0

Set Variable: "Start" = GetTimer


Now have TWO frames with the button state the

1st frame has no action script only the button


the 2nd frame with the button, add this action script:


Set Variable: "Elapsed" = (GetTimer - Start)/1000

If (Elapsed < Delay)

       Go to and Play ("Pause")

Else

       Go to and Play ("Continue")

End If


Where pause is the LABEL of the 1st frame with the button

and Continue is the LABEL of the frame where the rest of

the movie starts.


This may not be exactly right... in other words you may need to switch

the labels around as I am doing this off the top of my head... mostly

and haven't tested the above exactly like it is, I'm done something

very similar tho and the above should work.


Just surprized no one has answered this yet tho... just were is John C.

anyway since that is his script for the GetTimer.
