stop onEnterFrame

Dear all, I have this code that allows a clock hand to rotate around a clock.

Code:

---

onClipEvent(load){
secondTime = 2560;
startTime = getTimer();
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
        if(getTimer()-startTime>=2560){
elapsed = (getTimer() - startTime) % secondTime;
        this._rotation = 360 * (elapsed/secondTime);
}
}

---

I would that the hand rotation stops on a keyboard or mouse event, remaining in the position of the last frame. So, I need to stop the onEnterFrame event, but I don't know how.

Can anybody help me, please? Sorry, but I'm not an actionscript programmer...

Thanks in advance.

Well, hi again, it's me, Prid :P

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent(load){
    secondTime = 2560;
    startTime = getTimer();
    spacebar_pressed = false;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
        spacebar_pressed = true;
    }
    if(getTimer()-startTime>=2560 && spacebar_pressed == false){
        elapsed = (getTimer() - startTime) % secondTime;
        this._rotation = 360 * (elapsed/secondTime);
    }
}

Hi Prid! I would not disturb you again but it was not. :) Anyway, thanks again. It does works and I've modified the code for mouse button press.

Now the next step for me is to stop the hand in a random time (in range 1500-2500 ms) after the mouse press. I've to use setinterval()?

Here my modified code:

Code:

---

onClipEvent(load){
    secondTime = 2560;
    startTime = getTimer();
    mouse_pressed = false;
}

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
        mouse_pressed = true;
        }

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if(getTimer()-startTime>=2560 && mouse_pressed == false){
        elapsed = (getTimer() - startTime) % secondTime;
        this._rotation = 360 * (elapsed/secondTime);
    }
}

I'm making a little progress with actionscript, but it's still not enough.

No, you juse let Flash generate a random number, and then make it stop when the milliseconds are exceeding that number:

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent(load){
    secondTime = 2560;
    startTime = getTimer();
    mouse_pressed = false;
    random_num = (Math.random()*1000)+1500;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if(getTimer()-startTime>=2560){
        time2 = (getTimer()-startTime)-2560;
        if(time2 < random_num){
            elapsed = (getTimer() - startTime) % secondTime;
            this._rotation = 360 * (elapsed/secondTime);
        }
    }
}

I tried this method but it doesn't work always. From the begin of the clip, if I click before 3840 ms it works, that is the hand rotates for a random time and then it stops. But if I click after 3840 ms (more or less) the hand stops immediately.

This is because the formula

Code:

---

time2 = (getTimer()-startTime)-2560

---

gives values greater than the random number after a certain time. I've tried various other formulas but none make that I need. I post my updated code, so you can see if I mistaken anything.

Code:

---

onClipEvent(load){
    secondTime = 2560;
    startTime = getTimer();
    mouse_pressed = false;
        random_num = (Math.random()*1000)+1500;
}

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
        mouse_pressed = true;
        }

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    if(getTimer()-startTime>=2560 && mouse_pressed == false){
        elapsed = (getTimer() - startTime) % secondTime;
        this._rotation = 360 * (elapsed/secondTime);
    }
        else {
    if(getTimer()-startTime>=2560){
        time2 = (getTimer()-startTime)-2560;
        if(time2 < random_num){
            elapsed = (getTimer() - startTime) % secondTime;
            this._rotation = 360 * (elapsed/secondTime);
       
    }
}
}
}

I resolved by inserting a click_point variable in the onClipEventMouse handler which record the timer at the click. Then, time2 = getTimer-startTime-click_point. So, it works now, but I would have never done it whithout your help.

I haven't other questions for now, but I don't exclude that I may disturb you again in future. :P

Good to hear that it's fixed :)
