 | How to reverse timecode in AS3?
on Nov 12, 2008 at 1:50:46 pm |
Hi
I am using a function to return the timecode of a flv file i am playing back. The timecode is displayed in a txt field: timeRemain_txt.
The function I am using to return the timecode (based on ns dur):
function formatTime(t:int):String
{
// returns the minutes and seconds with leading zeros
// for example: 70 returns 01:10
var s:int = Math.round(t);
var m:int = 0;
if (s > 0)
{
while (s > 59)
{
m++;
s -= 60;
}
return String((m < 10 ? "0" : "") + m + ":" + (s < 10 ? "0" : "") + s);
}
else
{
return "00:00";
}
}
Question: How do I reverse the timecode? so the counter is showing the duration of the remaining time of the video rather than the elapsed time?
Thx

I don't seem to be getting any responses in this forum :-(
Anyway with the help of a colleague we figured it out, here it is:
//timeElapsed in milliseconds
var timeElapsed:Number = nsStream.time;
//duration in milliseconds
var duration:Number = objInfo.duration;
var timeRemain:Number = duration - timeElapsed;
timeRemain_txt.text = "-" + formatTime(timeRemain);
//formatTime() takes the milliseconds and converts them to timecode
function formatTime(t:int):String
{
// returns the minutes and seconds with leading zeros
// for example: 70 returns 01:10
var s:int = Math.round(t);
var m:int = 0;
if (s > 0)
{
while (s > 59)
{
m++;
s -= 60;
}
return String((m < 10 ? "0" : "") + m + ":" + (s < 10 ? "0" : "") + s);
}
else
{
return "00:00";
}
}
// Works perfectly!! :-)
