i am trying to trigger a function after a certain delay, which is why i used setInterval. i can get the function to happen after a certain time, but clearInterval doesnt seem to work it always worked before, when i was not writing it in oop, is there something special with this function when it's used in oop?[code]
View 5 RepliesI'm building out the basic code for a timer that does 2 things:Counts down "bonus points" -- 10th of the total milliseconds in the timerCount down seconds and tenths of secondsThe bonus points will tick down along with the time -- this is part of a larger quiz interactive project that I'm putting together.I can't quite figure out the following (my math is bad, I think):Why can't the setInterval fire off in 1 millisecond increments? Is it too fast for the Flash Player to handle?What's wrong with my math for the milliseconds on the time? I'd like to ONLY show 10ths of a second instead of thousandths.
View 7 RepliesI have some simple code:
function testing(){
for (a=1; a<=4; a++) {
this["btn"+a].enabled = true;
}
}
If i run this function from anywhere it works fine. If i run this function from myTimer = setInteval(testing, 3000); it will not work. If i add other random code into the function it (the newly added code only) will work. So i have narrowed it down to something about this["btn"+a].enabled = true; specifically that is causing it to not run.I really hope this makes sense, appologies, it's 3am :
I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval

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 was wondering why my current code for calling a setInterval on a function doesn't work inside my class.I have this code inside one function, calling a second function.
intID = setInterval(selfReferential, dupe, 30, 0x000000);
The selfReferential keyword refers to the current class,but was defined previously (selfReferential = this; ).I get no errors, but the dupe() function is never called.and I had the selfReferential variable replaced with the this keyword at one point as well.
im looking for how to remove a setInterval. i searched but the answer which was supposed to work dident for me.

i use as2 and i want to know how to use setInterval
Code:
var pistolshottime:Number = 1
var counter:Number = 0;
var interval:Number = setInterval(pistolshottimer(),1000);
var pistolshottimer : function(Void){
counter += 1;

pistolshottimer is the period between shots and i just want to know why this doesnt work it says "an identifier is expected after the ':'" and it says after pistolshottimer
how to use setInterval. I think this is what I need to use to do what I want to do, as shown in the ActionScript (2.0) I've pasted here:
bhold.buttonBlue.onPress = function() {
if (ohpNameRed._y == 0) {
MoveNameDn(ohpNameRed, 60, .3);
//i want a second or so delay before the following code is executed MoveNameUp(ohpNameBlue, 0, .4);
[code]....
Wondering if there's anyway this can be done? Or is there anyway you can return the time elapsed since the last function call?
Reason being that I'm using it in a project that really requires the option to pause the game. So I'd need to "pause" an interval when the game is paused and then resume it from where it was stopped when the game is resumed.
I'm in a project where I have to use setInterval to go to a certain frame after a period of time when hovering to some thing in my stage.
The code used is :
setInterval( function() { goToAndPlay(34); }, 100000;
stop();
The problem is that the counter is always engaged will not always go to the frame after exactly 10seconds, it will be random because it never stops counting.
Is there any way to clear the counter after each time I hover to the thing??
Flash CS3 ACS1,2.
I am working in an image scroller. Now i need to add a new feature. ie, To pause the scrolling for a specified time after each image scrolled out from the stage. But I have implemented this using a setInterval and clearInterval. But there is an issue occuring in this case. When the image pauses, a gap is occuring between the last image and first image of the scroller. Also when the scrolling continues this gap is also increasing. When the first image scrolled out, it will be again appending with the images scroller. That means it's appending after the last image of the scroller. Thus first and last images comes next to each other. When the scroller pauses, the gap is occuring between the first and last images. Anybody have idea about this.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash 9 app that calls a php script that in turn pulls in some variables from txt files. The function within the flash file that calls the php script operates via a setInterval() function. For some reason, this works fine in Firefox and Safari, but in IE the swf fails to update the fugures unless i clear the cache and reload the page..rather than the setInterval() function doing so every 60sec...

I have an MC (my_mc) with a button inside (mybtn_btn). Now I make something like this:
ActionScript Code:

This doesn't work, of course. The bubble is removed, but not the interval. How the heck do I remove that interval?

where the function setIcon tweens to the appropriate i in my array.When i go to publish this it doesn't ever activate the function playSlideShow, i tried activating it directly and it works, but i cant get a delay to it.What I want is for the swf to load, wait two seconds then activate setIcon(2).

What I'm trying to achieve is that I'm planning to fetch data from an XML file in certain time sequences. For this I would need a simple function that has a growing variable. I tried to test this as a text field that would show my variable go from 0 to 2 with one second between each change - but I can't get it to work.

I'm trying to pass two movie clips into a set interval function, just for a simple fade effect. It's been a little while since I've used the setInterval so I may be missing something, but I thought it was possible to pass movie clips into a interval function.

I'm sure this question is too complicated for an immediate answer so I'm looking for suggestions on where to find reference material or general guidance.I'm trying to combine the setInterval function and Math.Random within a specified range (say 1 - 5 seconds) so I can time the length of movie clips in a binomial distribution (68% of the occurrences fall within one standard deviation).
