counter and displaylist AS3
- by VideoDnd
How can I connect my counter to my display list?I've got a counter and a displaylist working, but I need help with everything in between.
Try to explain
I finished a Snowflake tutorial. The snowballs are children that are called to the stage. When connected to a dynamic variable, they move around and look like snow. I want my counter to move numbers around. I've got a counter, and I've got a 'for loop' to add children to the stage.

//DISPLAYLIST "puts stuff on stage"
for (var i:int = 0; i < 9; i++) {
var t:MovieClip = new Tee();
t.x = 105 + i * 111;
addChild(t);100
}
//ARRAY
//var o:Object = new Object(); <br>
//var TeeProps:Dictionary= new Dictionary(true); <br>
//var Tees:Array = new Array(); <br>
//TeeProps[t] = o; <br>
//addChild(t); <br>
//Tees.push(t); <br>
//} <br>
//COUNTER drop in "mytext" text field to see it work
var timer:Timer = new Timer(10);
var count:int = 0; //start at -1 if you want the first decimal to be 0
var fcount:int = 100;
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, incrementCounter);
timer.start();
function incrementCounter(event:TimerEvent) {
count++;
fcount=int(count*count/1000);//starts out slow... then speeds up
// mytext.text = formatCount(fcount);
}
function formatCount(i:int):String {
var fraction:int = i % 100;
var whole:int = i / 100;
return ("0000000" + whole).substr(-7, 7) + "." + (fraction < 10 ? "0" + fraction : fraction);
}
I'm rebuilding a earlier version for learning purposes.
