is there anyway to pass the setInterval id number into the function you are wanting to run.
I want the function i run to run clearInterval when a certain test suceeds.
Here is the code that doesn't work:
Code:
myInterval = setInverval(open(3), 1500);
function open(n) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
this["item"+n].play();
}
I have also tried calling a function from setInterval which in turn calls a function with a parameter...also didn't work!
I have a project that uses a lot of remoting calls and I'm hoping to abstract the process. I've hit a problem with passing parameters to the final call...[code]...
I know how to loop through the ...rest param to obtain their values but I'm struggling at how to construct the final gateway.call() which could have 1 arg or 10.
Basically what I'm trying to create is a custom timer that uses frames rather than milliseconds. But I can't figure out how functions like setInterval calls the function you passed along with the arguments. First I create a reference to the function I want to execute after a certain interval and name it fc, then I create a list of arguments my function want to pass using Array, but then how do I put those arguments in fc()?
View 2 RepliesI have a function:
Code:
function test(arg1:int, ...rest) {

my functions in this fla i have. I use the function to create a random number and the char move accordingly depending on the number.
View 4 RepliesI have a function that I want to run at an interval within a frame. I use the following code to start the function:
var intervalID = setInterval(intervalFunction, 3000);
Then, in a button's onRelease I want to stop the function. In the onRelease, I make a transition to another frame.
btn.onRelease = function()
{
clearInterval(intervalID);
gotoAndPlay("nextframe");
}
The intervalFunction continues to execute.
I'm creating a banner ad that tweens a thought bubble.It has 3 bubbles which tweens from the small bubble(1st one) to the big(3rd)one every 1/2 second with the setInterval function and then Invokes another setInterval which changes the text in the big bubble every 2sec. I got it to work perfectly, but the only problem is that I cant get it to loop through again properly. When I try to invoke the setInterval "animBubble" in the changeText function it doesnt read the clearInterval in the "animBubble" function causing it not to stop once the 3rd bubble has tweened in.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I added a setinterval function to my slideshow.Prob is when the slideshow reaches the last pic it returns to pic1 goes to pic2,... but after the second loop it starts mixing the wrong pics for the wrong number.I guess I did a mistake in the if statement(if (nextSlideNode == null)...). can someone solve this for me.
See following code below. Also how can I stop this animation. I did something like learinterval(advance); but that did not do the trick.

Code:
_root.leftButton.onRelease = function() {
for(var i=0; i<6; i++){

ok how and where do i put the setInterval script if i want to execute the "animateThumbsToLeft" function for 6 times and inbetween each time have a delay of say half a second..
how to clear the interval in this code? I'd also like to know if there is a better way of firing makeStars() than using setInterval in a function - like I'm doing. I've looked at the Kirupa tutorial and I'm not seeing what should be done.
Basically, this attaches a number of stars within the Stage width and height properties. When the browser resizes I rewrite the stars to the screen with the new bounds. But I can't get the interval to stop, so the stars just keep getting replaced - disappearing and relocating abruptly.
It all works great outside of the resizeIt() function, but once inside she goes down hill from there. A couple of things I need cleared up (pun intended) are:
1. Am I creating a new interval each time resizeIt() is executed?
2.What is the scope of the interval(s), and does how you access them change depending on where you are in the code, or are they more global?
stop();
//number of stars to make
var numstars:Number = 100;
_root.attachMovie("background","bkgd",this.getNext HighestDepth());

If i have a setInterval inside a function, will it execute at the desired interval, even if i only call the containing function once?
View 5 RepliesI have a function on my script that attaches a movieclip on a specific position and then it duplicates it several times. This movieclip has a code in order to move across the stage randomly. When I try to use SetInterval to repeat this function two weird things happen: the movieclips don't duplicate over that specific location (they appear on x=0,y=0) and if I set the location only one duplicates and the rest don't. My question is: what can I do to repeat the function every 2 seconds exactly as it is the first time it runs, without the objects not duplicating or moving from the original location?
Here's the code:
meteoros = function () {
this.attachMovie("asteroid","asteroid_mc",this.get NextHighestDepth());

Why is this not working? It just passes through the function instead of pausing. Source is attached:

I have a function that draws a rectangle on the screen (see createInfoPanel())While drawing rectangle, I am adding 2 text fields on it.But as you may guess, it is adding those immediately. I want to delay adding these text fields, then I want to remove these panels after a while. The problem is, when I set an interval or timer, they won't work after I using once (I had to stop them by clearing/removing, it didn't set them again).Since my panel is being created each time image changes, I need them to work every time image changes.
So, I have 2 questions:1- How can I re-set interval each time my createInfoPanel() function works? It won't work anymore after setting and claring once. 2- You can see infoPanel.addChild(titleField); line in addInfoPanel() function. How can I work a smooth animation here? I mean, text appears slowly?

I have a custom class called SpeedCheck, in this class I have a function called Activate(), I am trying to call this function using setInterval from another class but I am not sure how to format it.
This is how I would normally call the function:
ActionScript Code:
SpeedCheck.Activate()
I tried this:
ActionScript Code:
setInterval(SpeedCheck ,"Activate",100);
but it doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?
I am doing some animation using setInterval. It runs ok on all browser(firefox, sarfari, and opera..), but not in IE8. I just check ie7, it works fine also.
View 4 RepliesMy issue is that I want to set up a system whereby I can register clips to a class that will have certain properties set and then animate changes in those properties. Namely, each clip is placed at a different _y position at authoring time, then at run time be repositioned at a different _y position, only to be animated back to the original position. I want to do this so I can edit the clips in their destined places to layout their positioning.
Visually, my code works fine but, as is apparent from the "trace("muvUp "+thing);", the interval isn't being cleared. And what's worse � at around 40000 (of getTimer()), the clips start disappearing.
I've attached a file but here's the code I'm working with (as you can see with the lines I've commented out, i've tried a few different options):

I am creating a text scroller and am having problems with clearInterval - the text starts scrolling, but it won't stop after I try to clear it upon a button click.
1. I declare a var (uint) equal to a setInterval() call within a function (if the text exceeds the width of the textField)
2. I have a button that "turns off" the mp3 player (swf) and resets all the text fields.
3. I can't seem to access the setInterval ID var from within the click handler.
I have declared the var (uint) at the root level, then set it to setInterval() within the function. Then I tried to access it from the click handler. I thought this would work since it's global at that point, but it doesn't.
Here's a link to the page so you can see how it doesn't work [URL] (you have to click on the last link with the long client name)
Here's the code that's involved with this function (of course this is only the relevant code, but I would post the fla when done for anyone who wants to use it):
Code: Select all//::: SCROLL DISPLAY TEXT
function scrollDisplays():void
{
(trackTextField.textWidth > trackTextField.width) ?

The problem emerges because I want to use local variables (i.e. a and b) to perform tasks of myF2 on several clips at the same time but started, say, a half of second one after the another. I don't want to use timeline variables because all clips must start with the same initial variable values.If it's impossible to use setInterval like this, how is it possible to fix the problem I described here? .This code is for Flash Professional 8.0
I've got function that I call using setInterval. The problem is I need to call that function on an interval faster than 1 millsec. Is that possible?
