Flashing

[beanboy]

Hi,

How do you get graphics to flash really fast (ie. one frame full one empty) without increasing the FPS of the movie???

Thanks

Open a new file and set the frame rate to 1 frame per second.

Create a movieclip on the _root timeline and name the instance "SomeClip".

Put this code on the _root timeline:flicker = function(){
SomeClip._visible = SomeClip._visible ? false : true;
updateAfterEvent();
}
setInterval(flicker, 1);That should do the trick.

[pixelwit]

Maybe cus it was a damn smart way to do it and he couldn't understand?! heh :p

[farafiro]

I didn't say it's funny, but hmmmmm donno

maybe it's too easy for: "what, why didn't I think of that before"??
anyway, very cool, smart brain here ;)

...but how can i stop it after let say a few second ?

[pixelwit]

flicker = function(){
SomeClip._visible = SomeClip._visible ? false : true;
updateAfterEvent();
}
StopFlicker = function(){
clearInterval(flicker_I);
clearInterval(stopFlicker_I);
}
flicker_I = setInterval(flicker, 1);
stopFlicker_I = setInterval(stopFlicker, 3000);-PiXELWiT

Hi pixel thank you for replying :D
... i tested it, looks cool but when i tried refresh it, it happens that SomeClip disappear and sometimes not....@_@ why :confused:

[pixelwit]

Try changing your stopFlicker function to this:StopFlicker = function () {
clearInterval(flicker_I);
clearInterval(stopFlicker_I);
SomeClip._visible = true;
};-PiXELWiT
