I have searched the web for this solution, and have found many different actionscripts, but none that do exactly what I need it to. So I now, come to you guys for help.
I have a timeline that runs for 480 frames, which starts at the year 1900 and stops at 2008. There is also a scrubber, so the user can drag and drop anywhere they want along that timeline. Also, during the animation, the scrubber pauses on particular years, loads an external SWF and then continues when it’s done.
Now, without having to actually type out 108 years on separate text field, which wouldn’t add up evenly anyway since it’s over 480 frames, I was wondering the following:
Does anyone know how to create a dynamic text field, that will count from 1900 at the start of the timeline, and count up to 2008 by the end of the timeline. And to take into account that there are pauses, and a draggable scrubber?
Many many thanks in advance for, firstly reading this whole thread, and secondly, any help you can give.
