[MX] Multiple setIntervals!

programming flash
1

I want to combine various setIntervals.
The main Interval (10 sec) calls the function that loads the images.
What I want is to call another Interval (2.5sec) that calls a function that rotate the images (+90 degrees).
Here is the code:

// comando para fullscreen
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
fscommand("allowscale", "false");

// funcao que attacha mc_loadimg e carrega img
function loadimg () {
        var f1 = random(165) + 1;
        //f2 = random(48) + 1;
        loadMovie(f1 + ".jpg", "_root.conjunto.foto1");
        loadMovie(f1 + ".jpg", "_root.conjunto.foto2");
        loadMovie(f1 + ".jpg", "_root.conjunto.foto3");
        loadMovie(f1 + ".jpg", "_root.conjunto.foto4");
		trace ("img# = " + f1);
}

function rotateimg () {
        _root.conjunto.foto1._rotation = 90;
		_root.conjunto.foto1._x = _x + 300;
		_root.conjunto.foto2._rotation = 90;
		_root.conjunto.foto2._x = _x + 310;
        _root.conjunto.foto3._rotation = -90;
		_root.conjunto.foto3._x = _x + 300;
		_root.conjunto.foto4._rotation = -90;
		_root.conjunto.foto4._x = _x + 310;
		trace ("function rotateimg OK");
}

//run the function initially
loadimg();
//use setInterval to run it every 5 seconds after that

setInterval(loadimg, 5000);
setInterval(rotateimg, 2500);

The crazy math that I did is because I reflected the movieclips, so I have to set their _x position after rotating the mcs.

Thanks

And…?

Sorry…
hehe, and the setInterval (rotateimg) is called only the first time.
:frowning:

I copied and pasted your code, it worked fine for me.

Let me double check…

Yep, worked fine, here was my output…

img# = 6
function rotateimg OK
img# = 69
function rotateimg OK
function rotateimg OK
img# = 94
function rotateimg OK
function rotateimg OK
img# = 145
function rotateimg OK

The function rotateimg is called. This is ok, but the images do not rotate.
just in the first call. Is there a way to rotate a movieclip according to its center? I want them to rotate but stays in the same position!

7

set the MC’s registration point to the center

If this is not too much… create 3 imgs, named 1.jpg untill 3.jpg, 300x300px and put them in the same .swf file`s folder. They should rotate at first call, but when a new image is loaded, it does not rotate anymore.
Thanks

But the it is an empty movieclip that loads the jpg. How do I set its regiatration point to zero?

I have a lot of doubts on this thread.
First of all, here is my .fla.
I have on the stage (610x610px) four movieclips that resides the same loaded image.
But I modified them a little bit.

  • mc1(0,0) - no modification
  • mc2(610,0) - one flip horizontal
  • mc3(610,610) - one flip horizontal and one flip vertical
  • mc4(0,610) - one flip vertical
    !!! The registration point of the mc is the upper left!!!
    Thats why I had to fix their position on the stage after setting the flips.
    And also on the function rotateimg I had to do this.
    So I think I will have to set their center position after the image is loaded, correct? What I have to do? Just put the code after the loadMovie commands?

Thanks :thumb:

Sorry…
get it…

I was looking at the code and realized that this is worst than I thought.
If I set the x_scale and y_scale to -100, the image will appeear in a different position. I really need to set their center position to the center of the image, so I could rotate and flip whenever I need. Is this possible using only actionscript?

I get an unexpected file type error when opening your file. If you are on a mac you need to .zip it.

And the link I posted in my last post showed you exactly how to center your loaded content. Sure that used a dynamically loaded .jpg, but the same method goes for any dynamically loaded content.
