I need a Flash Timer

[TJ_Tigger]

Could anyone help me with a flash timer? I do not have flash and don't know the first thing about it. But I am getting the feeling that it would be great to use with AMS.

What I am looking for in a timer is the ability to have AMS feed the flash object a time variable. The flash timer, when started would then count from 0 to that supplied time. When the time expired it would issue an FSCommand that could be used to stop the project. I want to be able to query the flash object for the current time and be able to supply the time to it. I would also like for the object to display the time as it counts.

How easy or hard would this be to do?

It would be very easy. If I have time tonight I will whip one up for ya.

Give me the details of what you are looking for. Font, size, color, background, sound, ....the more you give me the closer I can get it to what you need.

Re: I need a Flash Timer

Thanks Agro. White background with black text. The project is using Ariel Bold 16 font size with black text. No music just plain and simple. I am looking to have a variable in AMS that will be fed to the flash counter. For instance variable %Duration% will provide the maximum count in seconds for taking a test. I would like for the flash counter to count from 0 to %Duration%. When %Duration% expires I want an FSCommand %Expired% to expire the test.

I assume that the FLA is the flash file that can be modified. That would be great to have it posted as well in case I do get Flash someday.

Let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thanks again AGRO

Re: I need a Flash Timer

Very cool. I would not need it to be that elaborate or informative, but it looks great. How much of that was Flash and how much was AMS. Would you be willing to send me the project files?

Thanks for your hard work

Re: I need a Flash Timer

I made it elaborate so everybody could use it and edit the way they want. You can easy delete like the status bar and the percent status or anything you want. You can also set it up so you can input the amount of time. You can edit it so it jumps a page at the end of the timer or the start of the timer also. You can edit it in anyway shape or form.

You do need Flash MX to edit it.

The only thing that is AMS is the credit below and a fscommand action to end.

As soon as I clean up the actionscript and make a "how to file" I will let you know and it is yours.

Ever since I landed a frontside disaster to revert last month I've become permanently immune to the skater boy reference. Put that in your sock and do the mashed potato.
