how to get a page to return to the main page after a period of inactivity on as2.0 for CS6?

[neezrip13419171]

Hi

Im doing a school project where we have to make a multiedia product on Flash Pro. I am using the lastest version CS6 and action script 2.0.

I am trying to figure out how to make a page (scene) return to the main page, which for me is a splash page, after a period of inactivity?

Btw, i do not understand a lot of the coding so can you explain it pretty much step by step

Please reply ASAP

var inactivityTime:10000;

var startTime:Number = 0;

this.onMouseMove=function(){

startTime=getTimer();

this.onEnterFrame=inactivityCheckF;

}

function inactivityCheckF(){

if(getTimer()-startTime>inactivityTime){

delete this.onEnterFrame;

// return to main page

}

}

thanks for that

But it still doesnt work. Okay so if the period of inactivity is 5mins and there is a scene called 'home' and i want it to return to a scene called 'splash', where do i put that information in the script?

sorry this is my first time using flash, so i have no idea on how to do anything except the basics

label the keyframe in 'splash' (eg, 'frame1_splash') and in frame 1 of your main timeline put:

var inactivityTime:300000;  // you'll probably want to decrease this for testing.

var startTime:Number = 0;

var tl:MovieClip = this;

this.onMouseMove=function(){

startTime=getTimer();

tl.onEnterFrame=inactivityCheckF;

}

function inactivityCheckF(){

if(getTimer()-startTime>inactivityTime){

delete tl.onEnterFrame;

tl.gotoAndStop('frame1_splash');

}

}

It kind of works, but every time i move the mouse it returns to the 'splash' scene. so the inactivity period is not working.

Also when the scene returns to the 'splash' scene the animation on the page doesnt work

[neezrip13419171]

okay now my animation works, but there's still a problem with the fact that every time i move the mouse it goes bk to the 'splash' scene. I want it so after say 5mins it automatically goes to the 'splash' scene

make sure you used this:

tl.onEnterFrame=inactivityCheckF;

NOT THIS

tl.onEnterFrame=inactivityCheckF();

in your mousemove listener.

(p.s when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses, if there are any.)

yh thts what ive used still not working

[kglad]

use the code i suggested.

[neezrip13419171]

i am using the code you suggested. But it comes up with a problem for the first of the code

[kglad]

copy and paste this code:

var inactivityTime:Number = 300000; 

var startTime:Number = 0;

var tl:MovieClip = this;

this.onMouseMove=function(){

startTime=getTimer();

tl.onEnterFrame=inactivityCheckF;

}

function inactivityCheckF(){

if(getTimer()-startTime>inactivityTime){

delete tl.onEnterFrame;

tl.gotoAndStop('frame1_splash');

}

}
