The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

ActionScript 3.0 pause timeline on multiple frames

Asked by GhostWerx in ActionScript, Adobe Flash

Tags: ActionScript 3.0, Flash CS3

Hi all,

I got the attached code off of the adobe.com site from a tutorial.

The code when pasted in a frame will pause that frame. It works fine. My issue is if I then paste the same code in another frame Flash starts to kick out errors about multiple definitions of the same function, etc.

I want a function that I can define in say the first frame of a timeline. Then in another frame of the timeline I am able to set the pause time and call the function to pause the timeline.

So for example say I want the following pauses:

Frame 1: pause for 2 seconds.
Frame 20: pause for 3 seconds.
Frame 35: pause for 2 seconds.

What is the code I would place on each frame??

So to recap, I would like to define a function that pauses the timeline. Then on any frame where I would like a pause I can set the interval of the pause and execute the pause.

Thank you.View the Solution FREE for 30 Days

         
             this.stop();
 
var timelinePause:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);
timelinePause.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timelinePause.start();
 
function timerHandler(evt:Object):void {
this.play();
}
