]]> Comment on Creating a clock in Actionscript 3.0 with the Date class. by CCJ http://ultravisual.co.uk/blog/2009/01/02/creating-a-clock-in-actionscript-30-with-the-date-class/comment-page-1/#comment-2950 CCJ Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:39:52 +0000 http://ultravisual.co.uk/blog/?p=103#comment-2950 In case anybody else wound up here searching for an update function in the Date class, here is my generalized solution: 1. create a timer with infinite repeat count (0) 2. add a TimerEvent.TIMER, someFunction listener to the timer 3. start the timer 4. create someFunction which takes a TimerEvent as its first argument 5. in someFunction write <code> myDateObjectHandle.setTime(myDateObjectHandle.getTime() + myTimerDelay); </code> where myDateObjectHandle is the name of your Date class object and myTimerDelay is the delay in milliseconds you assigned your timer. This should update the handle on the system clock time at almost any interval you want (can't go below 20 ms delay) In case anybody else wound up here searching for an update function in the Date class, here is my generalized solution:
1. create a timer with infinite repeat count (0)
2. add a TimerEvent.TIMER, someFunction listener to the timer
3. start the timer
4. create someFunction which takes a TimerEvent as its first argument
5. in someFunction write

myDateObjectHandle.setTime(myDateObjectHandle.getTime() + myTimerDelay);

where myDateObjectHandle is the name of your Date class object and myTimerDelay is the delay in milliseconds you assigned your timer. This should update the handle on the system clock time at almost any interval you want (can’t go below 20 ms delay)

Does anyone know how to toggle lights on and off on an object? I got around 5 lights working, and they're fine, however only if I set them before I call view.render(). After the scene has already been rendered changing object.material.lights doesn't seem to update the lighting. I've looked through the documentation for some sort of light/material caching, with no luck. Thanks in advance! Great example, helped me out!

var pl:PointLight = new PointLight();
pl.x = 500;
pl.y = 500;
pl.z = -500;

Then you would need to assign this light to the material as you have in your snippet as an array:

mat.lights = [pl];

Of course if you have more than one light for that material you just add them to the array assigned to the lights:

mat.lights = [pl, pl2, pl3, pl4];

Hope that helps

Have you tried contacting someone at Unity for this information they are going to have much more of an idea on this than I would. Try http://twitter.com/higgyb as he is a Unity evangelist and would be able to help you I am sure. Shane Hi
