I'll tell you how to apply the function, because most people don't know how to do that. You'll have to figure the rest out. I think it is pretty self explanitory.

function timer(fps, seconds, funct){
framesToCount = fps*seconds;
//code for counting, I'll let you figure it out
funct.apply();
}

Hey Archon, thanks alot for your help.
Though my knowledge of Actionscript is extremely basic, therefore I'm not even sure where to put the script, let alone add the missing code line..
I just thought it might have been simpler than I expected.
Thanks though :)

You could also create something yourself, with fps and frame counting.

I have Flash MX (6). Also I have more than 70 frames in this movieclip so that's not really an option...

If I knew how to do that I wouldn't have asked here.

Hey all

I have a button that opens a sidebar (say frame 2 in a movieclip) when I rollover it.
When I rollout, it goes to frame 1 of that movieclip, and the sidebar dissapears.
In the sidebar there's a button, but I one cannot press it, since once I move the mouse, the sidebar is gone.
Can't change the HIT area of the button, neither the position of it.

So I thought it would be best for the sidebar to stay for about 2 seconds after I rolled out, then dissapear.
Anyone knows how it's done?

on (rollOver) {
_root.aclip.gotoAndStop(47);
}
on (rollOut) {
Wait! (for 2 seconds).and then:
_root.aclip.gotoAndStop(1);
}

I can't find such an option, was it added to flash after version 6 (MX)?

Hey all.
I have a 20MB flash, that starts with an about 700kb preloader. So far so good.
I checked the swf using the 'Show Streaming' option, to see it all works well.
I assumed that after it loaded 1MB it would obviously show the preloader, but I had to wait until the flash was 56% loaded until it finally appeared!
Would this happen on the internet too, or is the 56K flash bandwith allocation just doesn't work well?

I have one movieclip with two frames with half a shape that I want to connect into one shape. Thanks.

I have a really long movieclip and to make it easy on the flash (ok ok it's so long it doesn't even show it whole), I want to put half of it in one frame and to load the other half to a specific point (continuing the first part).
In other words: I have a movieclip with the frames, half of a long stick in each, and I want in the swf to see them connected. How is it done?

Hahaha.. thanks anyway though :)

Man, does it work well.
Thank you so very much!!!

Hey, thanks to you both.
I couldn't understand where to change the value. Infact I tried a few variations of combining both preloaders but the movieclip either didn't rotate, either rotated without coordination with the loading process.

I'm trying to edit the Newgrounds preloader into something like the attached gif.
That means that I only need to change the 'setProperty' action from _xscale to _rotation.
The thing is, how do I choose an ending point/degrees/or more simply - how is it done?

Aight, it seems that a goto (hadn't tried other actions) just doesn't work from a button inside a movieclip. This is quite basic stuff, i'm sure someone knows the answer.

Ah yes, good idea.
Here are simple .fla and .swf files..

Bumb, bump, bump. Does anyone know why?
I also tried to load a movieclip with the ScrollPane component. Then I gave a button in it a GotoAndStop (movieclip) to a movieclip found in the timeline, but it just doesn't work... Hint hint anyone?

Hey folks,
I've added a few frames to the 'NewgroundsPreloader' movieclip, to be played once the movie is loaded and then continue to the next scene.
Everything works well except for the fact that once the new frames are played, the timeline returns to them and keeps on playing them again, thus in a loop.
I added a GotoAndPlay/Stop to the next scene on the final frame of the movieclip, but it keeps on doing that.
Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks much!

Rickrolls aren't funny. 4chan thief.

HAPPY BIRTHDAH!!

Haha, loved the Newgrounds can photo.

Happy birthday man!!

Thanks for the offers Haggard and mwmike!
Apperantly AllReligiousDrunk said he'll do it right after I posted so February is ok it seems.. Thank you!

Hmm, I never heard of the not-giving your account rule, I should check it out before I act, thanks Mike.
Either way though, i'll know better only in a month or so..

Hey Newgrounds regulars,
I'm looking for someone to deposit for me throughout the month of February. I very much hope that after that i'll be able to continue depositing on my own, else I'll have to donate my account to somebody else. You see, I begin serving the army (for three years) starting February.
If anyone is seriously interested in my account, please let me know, I might consider giving it away.
Cheers :)

Is it only Israel where you HAVE to serve in the army?
I'm being recruited in 17 days, anyway.

Anyone wants to buy my account for 100$? :P

First to deposit in 2009! Or at least US's..

Happy new year everybody!

December 2nd!

Ohh.. I didn't see this.. nevermind.

Hi,
I put a song in a layer, and clicked enter. then I stopped the movie from playing in the timeline, but the song goes on.
How do I fit it to play only when i'm playing frames in the timeline?

Thanks

OMGGG, I can't believe it's this time of the year already! The media might just be late..

Happy birthday buddy enjoy it with whatever and eat like a beast #;-}>

Oooh, level 40, equivalent to good old times' gigantic hammer!

"your photos are published on this site :S".

I've been infected for like a month now with an MSN virus that makes me send this message to contacts and shuts my computer, slows it down and so on.

I saw many suggestions on the internet to download Kaspersky. And, well, I can say that I twiced scanned the computer with the full version and it couldn't find a thing.

I'm dying for some help with this virus people.. Thanks!
