Drag and drop more timer

With the help of kglad.com, I got my work to deposit slip. Now, I've added a timer. I want students to have 45 seconds to finsih the game. I can code a timer OK, I even can't she jumps into a period of "time's up", with a reset button that takes you to where intro page for drag drop n.

2 problems:

  • If you click on one of the visible navigation two btns on the n would be the page BEFORE the timer has stopped, you get an error.
  • I have no idea how to do to stop the timer after fishing the n is game within the time limit (either correctly place 12 pegs). As it is, you finish the game, a text field said "Congratulations!" (which is good), but you still get MTBF (which is bad).

As always, thanks in advance - it is the last step of my small prototype edu soft.

Here is the protruding part of the code (I think) and I deleted all the code that comes after the important part:

var counter: Number = 0;

var startX:Number;

var startY: number;

reparentedBalls = [];

Stop();


var: number = 45;

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,count);

myTimer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, count);

myTimer.start ();


function countdown(event:TimerEvent):void {}

myTime_txt.text = String ((count) - myTimer.currentCount);


If (myTime_txt.text == "0") {}

gotoAndStop ("timesup");

}

}

    I would like to know if I can drag and drop files to transport CANADA to free up space on my Mac.

    Yes, but the fact that you can do something does not suggest that it would be wise to do. Please take a minute to think about it per.

    If you delete files on your Mac for free space and move them to the TC... so that only one copy of these files you will be on the TC.  What will happen to the files when... not if... you have a problem with the TC?

  • How to drag and drop multiple movieclips at the same time

    Hello world

    I'm a new actonscript 3 and adobe flash CC user and I am building an application but I have been stuck for several days. I have looked everywhere and tried everything I could think of, but I can't yet find a solution to my problem that I thought were pretty basic.

    Basically, let's say I have a rectangle and a circle on the stage. Once I did of the movieclips and assigned an instance name to each of them, I want to be able to perform a drag and drop the Rectangle so that both the rectangle and the circle become movable at the same time.

    For now, I have a mouse down events listener associated with the instance of rectangle, a method startDrag assigned to the rectangle instance and another assigned to the circle. But in this configuration, when I click on and drag the rectangle, only the circle is mobile (only the last line in the code is taken into account).

    I don't know if what I'm trying to achieve is feasible, but any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    The startDrag() method can only work for one object at a time, so in your case the Treaty the last of them, designated the task.  This approach is to temporarily to plant the two objects in a container and then drag the container.

    rectangle.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);  When I click on the rectangle

    var dragMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
    addChild (dragMC);

    function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void

    {
    dragMC.addChild (rectangle);        move objects in the container
    dragMC.addChild (circle);
    dragMC.startDrag ();
    }

    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop); When I release the mouse button

    function fl_ReleaseToDrop(event:MouseEvent):void

    {
    dragMC.stopDrag ();
    Rectangle.x += dragMC.x;         Adjust the positions of the objects to their new location
    Rectangle.y += dragMC.y;
    Circle.x += dragMC.x;
    Circle.y += dragMC.y
    addChild (rectangle);                 move back to the scene objects
    addChild (circle);
    dragMC.x = dragMC.y = 0;       reset the benchmark for the dragMC
    }

    All this stuff of repositioning in the Drop function is necessary because when you drag the container, the positions of the content are still on their original coordinates inside the container.  So when you drop them they will resume their x / y positions in their new parent, meaning they go back where they were.  Reposition them where they have been trained to take into account the change in the position of the dragMC.

  • Drag-and-drop success Message and Timer on all chassis in Captivate

    Hi all

    I'm trying to do two things in a captivate project that I am working. They are:-

    1. I have an exercise slide - déposer I chose the setting that the decline does not accept point slide wrong and sends it back immediately. I'm doing a legend of success as 'Good work' or something displayed on the user put all the drag source in the correct deposit boxes. I do not use the submit button. Once appears the legend of success, the user can click a next button to move to the next slide. I am not able to put the legend of success.

    2. I'm trying to put a timer on the blades so that the user can see the total length of the e-Learning, time elapsed or time left on all slides.

    Can you guys help me with these questions I have.

    Thank you

    Aashish

    Hello

    1. you define the activity of Auto submit the correct answers. It is under the accordion of Options in properties of Drag and Drop. Then run an advanced action to display the legend of success and the next button on the success of the activity.

    2. to do this, I would recommend the blog of Lilybiri here.

  • Drag and Drop Error1010 of the time?

    I have a drag and drop game that uses arrays for targets.  I have a property on the table of "permitted" so that I can have 4 zones "targets".

    However, I had a problem in the sense that I kept getting an error 1010 due to the use of the authorized property (if I dropped the mc outside the target, it was likely that I would see an error 1010).

    I realized that I had to add my property 'allowed' to all my other movieclips, and it works most of the time.  However, it seems that if I drop my clips on the border of an another movieclip, I get error 1010.

    I applied my property 'allowed' to everything that I could find, event 'root' (due to some images that were also causing the error 1010) and this continues to be.

    Any ideas?

    so each target has a permitted ownership which is the array of authorized interrupted movieclips?  If so, which should cause no problems.  in your drop listener function:

    function dropF(e:MouseEvent):void {}

    {if (MovieClip (e.currentTarget). DropTarget.Allowed)}

    {if (MovieClip (e.currentTarget). {(DropTarget.allowed.IndexOf (e.currentTarget) >-1)}

    This is allowed dropped target

    } else {}

    wrong target

    } else {}

    fell not on any target

    }

  • Why don't I do drag and drop photos in real size of more attachments in the new Windows Live Mail?

    I am a real estate photographer, and one of the things I have to do on a regular basis is to send pictures to people. They need these photos as attachments. I downloaded the new Windows Live Mail and I noticed that I can't not simply 'Drag and Drop' photo attachments. Instead, Windows Live mail has resized the picture down and put a boarder around it. I went through the settings and I don't see anywhere I can click to the program, what he had ALWAYS done before, that was simple. Now to send a file, I have to click on the "Attachment" button, navigate my external drives and find the file that I send. I have hundreds of customers and too many files having to negotiate through. I prefer to be able to slide and have it set out in its full dimension, as I always did before in previous versions of WLM and Outlook Express.

    I ALSO can not simply with the right button on a photo, select "send to" and then 'recipient' and attach files there either. Now, it uploads to the Skydrive. My customers don't want it. They do not want additional steps. They just want an email with attached files.

    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I can't imagine that you got rid of those simpler features. Please don't tell me you didn't get rid of the simple ability to re size and attach pictures, did you?

  • Interaction drag-and - drop - time after the presentation of the self.

    Captivate 8.0.1.242 - Windows 7 - 64 bit - SWF - sensitive Format format not


    I drag and drop interactions in my class. I allowed for the correct drag auto shipping option and file the response. But when I publish the course and run the course online, there is a delay after drag / drop the right answer. There is no sign of loading or whatever it is. Just a delay, then I see the next slide. Its strange to students they start clicking on random areas, thinking that they have made a mistake.


    I would like to know as to why there is this delay and how to remove it.



    Hello

    I think the problem is with Actions that are currently assigned to the interaction. If you look closely, you will probably find that the slide is a break to 1.5 seconds. And the action assigned to the right answer is probably "continue." This means that play resumes and it takes another 1.5 seconds to visit the next slide.

    Try changing the action "Go to the next slide" and the delay must be eliminated.

  • Drag and drop on the same disk, same partition hours. Why and how to fix it?

    Hello

    My computer crashed and I put the files saved on the disk. Slide it / move files adobe is 500 GB and taken a few hours to complete. Drag and Drop that into a subfolder in this directory, the system tells me that it will take even more time to copy. Why? What it means.

    Two things you need to know:

    (1) the system hangs usually about all six months requiring a clean install.

    (2) this time I portioned disk, put the operating system on the partition of 500 GB and put the data files on the other half of the partition to see what happens the next time it crashes - and it will eventually crash. (I want to know if everything is damaged remains on the side with the operating system or if it affects the entire drive.)

    All other files seem to drag / move very well, it is precisely those specific files of photographs. Any suggestions? This allusion to a problem not diagnosed with the disc? Is it because I partitioned the HD?

  • Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

    After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

    Help, please!

    I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

    The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

    You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

    Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

  • Impossible to copy files to the Sansa Fuze using Windows 7 (drag and drop, or Windows Media Player)

    Hello

    Yesterday, I bought the Sansa Fuze and I have problems copying files to the device using either Windows Media Player (Sync) or Drag and Drop (Explorer).

    The symptoms are:

    (1) the device is recognized and available in Windows 7 (Series USB MSC - sorry don't have it with me right now)

    (2) took me to upgrade to the latest firmware, which has worked flawlessly

    (3) when I try to drag and drop a file on the device (I use Windows 7, 64-bit), it starts, but doesn't seem to calculate the size of the files or waiting time to download correctly.  It is followed by a slow progressive, until the computer crashes, resulting in a constant 100% of the CPU.  The only solution is a hard reboot

    (4) when you use Windows WM, the device is recognized, okay and the synchronization starts, but it then stops without reason.  Once again, the processor springs and requires a reboot

    (5) using the results 3 and 4 in 1-5 files being copied across, but not more.

    (6) I tried several albums and one album at a time, but cannot determine if that makes a difference.

    Have you installed or removed/uninstalled all hardware or software or drivers since just before the start of this problem (if so, exactly what - name, version, device, whatever)?  Norton take any infection, although it is said that he cleaned their since just before the problem started?  If so, you know the names of these infections?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  It's been a while so I'm not sure that you have a fairly old restore point but it is possible - hopefully.

    Are these files and folders in your user profile?  If Yes, your user profile may become corrupted (in fact, if can still be corrupted if the folders are not there).  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    We will check some of your system files and hard drive for ccorruption that may be the cause:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    Please checkwith the manufacturer to find out if there is a mouse driver updated (software or firmware) available for your make and model of mouse and your version of Vista.  Download and install to update the driver to the most recent available and see if that solves the drag and drop problem (even though I know that this will not affect the question of the name change).  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
