Pauseable Timer with Progress Bar

 

Compatibilities:

This item has not yet been rated

This behavior initialises a timer, and uses a sprite on stage to show the progress. The timer can be paused and restarted. The orientation of the progress bar may be horizontal or vertical, and may increase or decrease. Optional display fields can show the progress in time (minutes and seconds) or percentage. A demonstration of the script can be seen at http://users.pandora.be/somnirealm/Mediamacros/PTimer.htm

--This is a set of behaviors. There is one timerscript, which should be placed on top of a sprite that will act as a progress bar, and 5 additional behaviors from which you can choose to interact with the bar. You don't need them all ; just pick the ones you need... ---The following is the main Timer-script : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Pauseable Timer with progress bar 1.1 -- copyright (c) 2003, Dimitri Leveugle -- To use this behavior, drag it to the sprite you want to use as a progress bar, set the required parameters, and run this baby ! -- New in version 1.1 ----> a bug involving the time-display of decreasing large time units has been fixed. ----> new controls to interact with the timer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY, OR YOUR SCRIPT MIGHT NOT WORK ! --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- If there are NO FIELDS in your movie, and you don't wish to use the display options of the script, type in "nihil". If you don't do this the behavior WILL NOT WORK !! --If there ARE FIELDS in your movie, but you don't want to use the display options of the script, just create a dummy field in your cast, and point all properties to that member. --If you want to use ONLY ONE display option, create one field to fit your needs, and point the display option you won't use to a dummy field. ---Note that you can scale the progress bar to the left, right or center depending on the registration point of the castmember. ---You can incorporate several progressbars in 1 movie, each using different timer-settings. However they CAN'T APPEAR AT THE SAME TIME in 1 frame. If you do this, you'll get some freaky results... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- property pSpWidth --- the width of the progress bar property pSpRight --- right most point of the progressbar sprite (not the castmember) property pSpLeft  --- left most point of the progressbar sprite (not the castmember) property pSpTop   --- the top most point of the progressbar sprite (not the castmember) property pSpBottom --- the bottom most point of the progressbar sprite (not the castmember) property pSpHeight --- the height of the progress bar property pSpOrientation -- shows orientation : horizontal or vertical property pPastSeconds ---shows how many seconds the scrollbar has been running property pPastMinutes ---shows how many minutes the scrollbar has been running property pTimerStart ---this variable contains the value of the ticks when first started this value is set in the start-button property pTimerStop  ---shows how many ticks the bar must run to finish property pStartTicks ---shows the initial value of the timer this value is set in the start-button property pFinish ---shows whether the progress bar has reached its end property pIsWorking  ---shows whether the timer is working property pTicksPast ---shows how many ticks the timer has been actively running, not counting the pauses property pCounter -- a variable for timedisplay purposes only property pSecs  ---shows how many seconds the progress bar must run to reach its end this value is set by the user property ptimer -- this property contains the name of the filed that is to be used to show the past time in minutes and seconds. property pPercent --show how many percent of the scrollbar has passed or must pass property pdirection --shows if the progress bar must increase or decrease in size the display fields reflect this setting. on getBehaviorDescription me   return     "TIMER WITH PROGRESS BAR" & RETURN & RETURN &     "This behavior initialises a timer, and uses a sprite on stage to show the progress.
