Source
Usage
Create a instance at first.
var timer:BeatTimer = new BeatTimer();
Next, call the start() method with a BPM that you want to synchronize.
timer.start(140); // Start with a BPM: 140
Call the update() method in arbitrary timing. Basically, this utility suppose usage that call the update() method every frame (ex: in Event.ENTER_FRAME).
timer.update();
If you call the update() method, the following properties will be updated based on the time lapsed since the time that the start method() has called and the BPM.
- beatPosition: Indicates how many beats have been passed. For example, when three quarter notes and an eighth note are passed, the property returns 3.5.
- phase: Indicates a position on the beat. If the new beat started, it indicates 0.0 and if the beat finished, it indicates 1.0.
- isOnBeat: Indicates whether it has been in the new beat by the update method call this time.
