is it possible to insert a delay before a function is executed.Here is a simple sample code where it could be used:
Code:
myButton.onRelease = function () {
//// INSERT A 3 seconds DELAY BEFORE THE gotoAndPlay is executed

I've tried using setInterval() but I just can't get it right... This is the function I want to execute every 5 seconds:
function next_(event:MouseEvent):void{
var sliderPos = sliderMC.x;
if(sliderPos != -696){[code3]..........
Is there any way to implement waiting for, say, 3 seconds in ActionScript, but to stay within same function? I have looked setInterval, setTimeOut and similar functions, but what I really need is this:

In case you wonder why I need this - it is a legal requirement, and no, I can't change it.

Is it possible in AS3, to have 0 alpha for some seconds, then have the buttons fade in... and I say buttons, as I have two of them. But wanted to finish it all of with a nice fade-in effect on my buttons. I've found some nice fade out effects with tweening in AS3, but I need fade in - and would like for me to decide when they should do this. So far I'm pretty satisfied with my first flash file, but I do like perfection!

View 7 RepliesI'm rather new to AS3 and have been tasked with a project, the project requires reading in values from an XML file created by PHP, this works fine if the XML file is available, and is just being updated by PHP, however, when flash calls the PHP page that creates the XML file for the first time, it doesn't give PHP enough time to make the XML file.

I have the following actionscript which is working fine, but I would like to wait for some seconds each image once has reached the alpha in 100, if you see the example in the headerwhat it does is that the image fades in and when it gets to 100 starts fading out, and I want that when it gets the alpha in 100, keep it for let's say 5 seconds and then fade it out.
square._alpha = 0; whichPic = 0;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() { if (whichPic<4 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) { fadeOut = true; whichPic++; } else if (whichPic>=4) { whichPic = 1; } if (square._alpha>10 && fadeOut) {

View 3 RepliesI'm programming some tweens with actionscript and I want the flashplayer to wait 0.5 seconds between each action. I've used set interval before, but that was when I only wanted the playhead to stop, wait so many seconds. In this instance I need it to go like this:

Let's say the php application sends this:-

Would I be able to get that function executed in the Flash application?
make function execute only once per second in ActionScript 2.0? As always I'll start from example to explain my problem...I have aprox. 15 buttons on my stageand all of them are calling the same function, but with different arguments. This function executes some effects, that lasts for 1 second. If someone will click on that buttons more often, than once per second, that will look horribleI can disable that button, what was pressed, but this will not solve the problem, be cause someone in a hurry can click another button
View 1 RepliesI'm using this function
function wait(mc, n) {
mc.stop();
var myInterval = setInterval(function () {
mc.play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
}, 3 * 1000);
} _root.wait(this, n)
To delay events along my timeline. That code works fine. My problem is that is that I also want the user to be able to pause the movie at any time. However, if the pause button I'm using is pressed by the user while the timeline is delayed using this function it starts playing again after the interval even if the pause button is still pressed. How can I override this wait function with a pause button?
I just want to have my code wait a couple seconds to let some scripted animation finish then load a movie into a holder but I can't seem to find a pause/wait/delay function is there one and how would I use it or can someone tell me how to do it somehow thats not too processor intense if at all possible.
