I’m stupid! I can’t do anything right so I thought what the hell I’ll ask it at [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) …AGAIN… OK the Timer The movie stops at frame 1 for 3 seconds and then goes to frame 2. (No textboxes that show the time that has passed or something… just the timer to count the seconds… or something…) ## Round I have a textbox var-named “tb” and I typed there “10.22222”. I want it to round the thing to 10.22 Geezuz I’m asking the same things I’ve asked before… Like I said I’m stupid 🙂 ---

You can try that trick : you multiply by 100, floor it, and then divide by 100. Something like Math.floor (var\*100)/100. It should do. pom 0] ---

And what does that supposed to do? I mean it does nothing. It just multiplies it by 100 and then divides it by 100 and the result logically is the same. I tried it out and there it is the same too. ---

Are you sure about that ??? 😉 Try with (Math.floor(var\*100))/100 ; pom 0] What does it do, do you ask ? Simple : let’s say you have var = 1.23456789 ; var_100 = 123.456789 Math.floor (var_100) = 123 Divide it by 100 = 1.23 What you wanted, isn’t it ?? ---

There ! Put any two numbers, but try and make so that their division won’t be an integer. For instance 1 and 7, 2 and 9… Whaddya think ? pom 0] ---

Hey! That works! It’s not rounding I mean if my number is 12.479 the rounded one should be 12.48 but that only makes it 12.47… But it’ll do… ------No there’s one thing left: The timer :eek: ------- ---

I don’t understand your problem with the timer.Can you explain it a little bit better ? And concerning the rounding, making it so that it really rounds things would be, in my method, very _disgraceful_ but there’s a way. There always is. pom 0] ---

to round, change Math.floor to Math.round ---

I tried that. It didn’t seem to work. It looked pretty obvious… Maybe I used the “uncut” numbers ? pom 0] ---

AAAAARRGGHHHH! This is driving me grazy! :mad: I made a movie where that roudning thing worked and I didn’t save it now I was gonna try change it Math.round and I made another movie but that’s not working… I think the problem’s in the action’s locaton… Where should I put it (on a keyframe/on a btn…) I can’t remember where I put it before… --------The timer— For example the movie plays and …lets say… in frame 50 I want it to stop for 3 seconds and then play on. I don’t want any textboxes that show the time or something just to start the timer and if the timer reaches 3 seconds play(); ---

Don’t get GRAZY !! It’s probably just a problem of path. Relax, leave your comp and get back to it in an hour. About the timer, there’s a wonderphul script by… guess who ??? Dans le mille, Emile ! Suprabeener about that. Exactl what you want, and very well explained too. Here : [www.multimania.com/ilyaslamasse/timer/](http://www.multimania.com/ilyaslamasse/timer/) Take the fla. pom 0] ---

Ok but I don’t really understand that script exactly… that’s the thing with the textboxes showing time and stuff and I can’t take the time-showing script from the timer script apart so… That doesn’t make sense to me at all… In frame 39 there s pause(5); If I delete that it doesn’t make a pause there ok but if I delete script in frame 1 then it doesn’t pause either. These things are connected to each other …somehow… I can’t understand the script there… ---

Yeah, that’s one though script indeed. But you are told how to use it, so… Anyway, here’s a little explanation, and if I’m wrong, Supra can come here and quick my ass… In the main timeline : ```auto MovieClip.prototype.pause = function(l){         stop();         attachMovie("timer","timer1",76);         timer1.init = getTimer();         timer1.l = l; } ``` He likes that prototype thing… Supra, I mean. Very disconcerting when you’ve never seen anything like that. Anyway, what it means is : a movie clip can call that function, with an argument \* l\* which is the pause. The movie stops. You put an instance of the movie clip \* timer\*, aka \* pause\* and you name it \* timer1\*, on level 76 (not so important). Tou initialize the value \* init\* and \* l\* INSIDE THIS CLIP you’ve just created. **_YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CODE DOESN’T MAKE THE PAUSE. WHAT DOES IS THE CODE INSIDE THE CLIP \* PAUSE_. THIS CODING IS JUST A WAY TO MAKE THE CLIP EASILY REUSABLE, THAT’S ALL** \* In the clip “pause” : ```auto onClipEvent(enterFrame){         time = getTimer()-_parent.init;         if((getTimer()-_parent.init)/1000>_parent.l){                 _parent._parent.play();                 _parent.removeMovieClip();         } } ``` Now, what do we have ? The part : ```auto timer1.init = getTimer(); ``` made the clip \* timer1\* get the time (getTimer ()) when it is launched. Here, the line : ```auto time = getTimer()-_parent.init; ``` gets the number of milliseconds that have passed since the init. If this time/1000 (to turn it into seconds) is superior to the time span of the pause \* \_parent.l\*, you tell the movie to play, and you remove the pause clip. All those \* \_parent.parent\* things are a little bit difficult to grasp, but draw your situation on a sheet of paper, and it all becomes clear (hum…). I hope you understand it better now. pom 0] ---

huh… looking at that little script i feel like a total loser! ok would you please tell me how would you do a thing like… in frame 1-\> wait 3 seconds and gotoAndStop(2); how would you do that… I still havent totally understood the script there… ---

Hey, man everything is explained in the fla !! Just put the code pause (2); in the frame you want to pause (after you’ve exported the pause movie, of course). pom 0]
