Here you go...
1. Load file
2. Hit "Simulate"
3.Hit "rew file"
4. Run part
***Dont for get to load the Flash screen then restart Mach

The source file is included...
what I do is grab the two DRo and grab each part split by ":" then do the math

This screen also included the "% completed" so far as well......you can use one of the gauges to represent the amount of time leaft or remaining lines of Gcode

I'm in the middle of some encription code so this is a good start...

Code: [Select]

horse.onEnterFrame = function() {
var elapsed_array:Array = _root.DRO814.split(":");
var Estimated_array:Array = _root.DRO815.split(":");
for (var i = 0; i<3; i++) {
remaininga = Estimated_array[0]-elapsed_array[0]+':';///days/hours
remainingb = Estimated_array[1]-elapsed_array[1]+':';///minutes
remainingc = Estimated_array[2]-(elapsed_array[2]);//seconds
}
remaining.text = remaininga+remainingb+remainingc;///all formated
};
If your intrested in all that this screen does look at:

Ummm seems VB will not allow me to get the DRO14 and 15 for Estimate and Elapse time, I belive it is because of the time format.. I did what you want in a Flash screen but if you are using a .set screen and VB I don't think you can...You might ask Brian on the Yahoo forum....

If you can get away with displaying the % completed you can do that in VB with a .set screen...in the VB section of the forum has the code you want. I dont know how or dont know if you can format a DRO to time in VB...you would have to use Flash or C++ to do that.

On the left hand side of Screen 4 select the object you want to add.
To then edit the object and not add any more objects click on "None" Icon.
Double click on the object and make sure  "locked" or "Display on all screens" is not checked...in order to move it you'll need to have both of these off.

Screen designer tips and tutorials / Re: Act! - idea for screen design program. Extremely simple

« on: March 24, 2008, 07:35:49 PM »

Hi Dave,
Forsure there will be alot to chose from....as well as:

-simple shapes
Primitive shapes that the user can select color, size and effects (bevel, drop shadow EST...)

-Panels
The user could drag any objects they want to be contained in the “panel”.
The “panel” component could have parameters to set functions such as open, close and drag ability.

-Local connection
Will be added next allowing communication to as many external screens as you want

-Custom graphics
A layout for the user to drag and drop there new graphic

and a number of other objects
