I'm having an issue with setInterval/clearInterval when it comes to dealing with objects. Take this example:

Why does clearInterval not stop the interval? Does clearInterval not work when called inside a setInterval? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to delete the interval when it reaches a certain count?
I would like to focus my question on the setInterval and clearInterval use inside a class.
isn't bellow the right way to use it ?

For some reason, the clearInterval(SpinnerInterval); is not working and when I call it, the ring still keeps spinning :
here is my problem. I have a slideshow that I wish to pause when I rollOver a button, and to resume when I rollOut.
here is the the interval part of the code:
var ssInt = new Number();
ssInt = 100;

I have just started working with classes and am having trouble using setInterval/clearInterval in the class. I am sure my scoping is incorrect but I am not sure how to fix it. My problem (simplified) is below:[code]Bascially, how do I set up my interval so that when "myFunc2" is called, loopImage is not undefined and it is able to clear the interval.

I use an interval to verify when someone scales the browser when tweening, afterwards it shows correctly.The problem is that sometimes the clearInterval doesn't work It always happens after a while when I click next or prev too fast Also bothering is just before the bug, the image scales to very small (sometimes)
Code:
function sizeInterval2 ()
{
loaderback._width = containerMC._width + 10
loaderback._height = containerMC._height + 10

can any of you point out if this code is wrong or do I have a bug in my Flash? It's sopposed to be a simple move function, called by an interval, and after reaching the border of the film, it's sopposed to stop. pretty simple, right? right, but theHere's the code I've used: (mcBall = 1 framed movieClip)
_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
function fMoveIt():Void

I just created an image gallery that displays 3 images at a time. For some reason, it works (for the most part) in Opera, but it doesn't display the images properly in IE.
img1, img2,and img3 are blank movie clips that hold each of the photos. The links to the photos are retrieved from XML, and are displayed in a random order. The first picture shows how it looks in IE, and the 2nd is in Opera. It also seems that the clearInterval() function isn't working like it should. Once the pictures are loaded, they are resized using the resizeMe() function (called by setInterval) to fit in the rectangle.
IE: Opera:
Code:
img1._alpha = 0;
img2._alpha = 0;[code].....
I cannot get the clearInterval command to work. I have a panel that is tweening down into the stage about 4 seconds after the movie loads and then I do not want it to happen again. Right now the panel continues to tween in everytime I close it. Right now, the clearInterval is not working.
var down:Boolean;
var currentInterval:Number;
down=false;

I have a project that requires around 20 external swfs. All of these swfs get called into a _root via XML. Each swf (contains a video swf and some graphics/text) has a progress bar and a playhead that is monitored by using a setInterval(). Once the progress bar is complete, the interval gets cleared.
However, if a user wants to watch a new video before the progress bar gets cleared, the video swf won't load, although all the text and static graphics that are in the swf file will. I think it may be an issue of the interval not clearing, because if the progress bar is completely downloaded and then a new swf is chosen, the video swf loads fine. Can I use clearInterval() from the _root of my movie to clear the setInterval from my external swf?
PS -- I tried to solve this issue by using removeMovieClip() in my _root, and that worked really well on everything but IE 5.2 for Mac?
I am using setInterval to call a function which itself creates intervals to call a second function..My issue is with the second interval in function1 'var b'. I am trying to use clearInterval(b) under certain conditions to stop each interval. This works when I have a 'single' interval created (i.e function 1 is only called once) but as soon as it is called more than once, I get errors.simple eg below
Code:
var b:uint;
var a = setInterval(function1, 1000);[code]....
I actually solved this by creating a 'counter variable' which is passed to function2, and just used clearInterval(counter), counter++; to clear each interval.My issue with this solution is having to keep track of what number interval im up to 'manually'.. and if i create more intervals later on Im worried about 'loosing count' and having to keep track.. and would rather reference the var name itself if possible?
I've tried to compare my counter var to the value of the interval via a trace, and they appear to be the same. So I dont understand why clear(a) and clear(counter) dont give me equivalent results.
i was wondering if someone could pls help me to code the setInterval/clearInterval functions in a cleaner way?

I typed the following code two ways... one has the word "new" and one doesnt... the one with the word "new" completely ignores the clearInterval() call... however when the code is run without the word "new" it behaves as I expected- with the interval terminating in the first call of the function. why the inclusion of the word new causes the clearInterval not to work?
myInterval = new setInterval(myFunction,100);
function myFunction(){
trace("hello");
clearInterval(myInterval);
}
I'm using a version of XML Slideshow Photogallery that loads slideshow.swf (and other pages) into master.swf. It plays good the first time through and when I trace myInterval, I can see it increment 1,2,3 ... with each slide. When I go to another page and then come back to the slideshow - the myInterval will skip a couple or I get 2 values at the same time. This causes the slideshow to display every other image (or every 3, etc). I can see that the problem is from not clearing the myInterval variable properly. The clearInterval(myInterval); function seems to just clear the last instance created. Is there a way to clear all instances?
View 14 Replieswhen loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc".

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame. I'm using Flash 8.This is turning onto a real headache for me, since i've searched every single forum and thread concerning this matter, and nothing seems to work.

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

On the stage I have a movieclip called mc_back. I also have a movieclip on the stage called mc_content. Now, inside mc_content I have a bunch of code and some of it adds, or should add, an EventListener to mc_back as well as a a function that works when mc_back is pressed.
So basically, all code is written inside mc_content and some of it needs to interact with mc_back.
how to target mc_back from inside mc_content. Using stage.mc_back or root.mc_back doesn't work and Google should be my friend, but in this particular problem, it's acting more like my enemy.
Is there any ways to set a movie clip(item2) invisible but set another movie clip which located inside item2 visible?
