somebody help me please with flash

[aplusads21]

Hi,
i don't what is the best forum to get help with coding questions for FLash.

Please somebody post some forum names for flash.

anyway this is my first question

i am following this simple timer tutorial from newgrounds

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/47 4693 (pls view it)

what it does is set a var named clock

then creates a movie clip with 24 frames . after every 24th frame it adds 1 to the variable clock.

so every second the clock updates ++

GOod ?

ok

Now here is my question

i can use if statement to check
if the clock timer is = certain value
if the click timer is < certain value
if the clock timer is > certain value

But
Question
How do i make something happen every 5 second or 10 second or 30 second etc.

something like on every 5 second
do something.

Hope you understood the question

just a thought but cant you make a variable which does something like this

var second:Number = 0;
every time you go one second further
second++;

and then build in a checker with
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (second ==5) {
trace (second);
}if (second ==10) {
trace ((second ) ;
}
}

its a not realy pratical but mayby it gives you idea's

Definitely not practical.

Nice little tutorial for AS2.

Please keep your questions in ONE thread. Thanks

both of you missed my question

But
Question

the timer clock variable is already updating every second to +1 or ++

But how do i check

on every 5 second
do something

All questions are different..

it will be hard to relate them. and people will mix things up..

[aplusads21]

bloody hell some body deleted all my questions..

You can check for regular events, ie. every 5 seconds, by comparing the time/5 with int(time/5)

New fla, code on main timeline frame 1:

time=0;												//TIME
div=5;												//DIVISOR TO CHECK
cnt=0;												//FRAME COUNTER
fps=24;												//FRAMES PER SECOND

onEnterFrame=function(){				//ENTERFRAME
	cnt++;											//INCREMENT COUNTER
	if(cnt>fps){									//HAS REACHED ONE SECOND
		time++;cnt=0;							//ADD A SECOND TO TIME, RESET COUNTER
		trace(time);								//TRACE
		if(time/div==int(time/div)){		//IS DIVISIBLE BY div (IE, 5)
			DOSOMETHING();				//TRIGGER EVENT
		}												//
	}													//
}														//


function DOSOMETHING(){				//TRIGGERED FUNCTION
	inte=div+"x"+time/div;					//UPDATE OTHER TEXTFIELD
	trace(inte);									//
}														//

If you're trying to make it hard for us to understand you, you're doing a good job.
Simply put this on frame (FPS*Second Delay) within a Movie Clip:

if(_root.clock>setvalue){
if(_root.clock<setvalue){
if(_root.clock==setvalue){
