ActionScript 3.0 :: SetInterval() Does Not Abide By It's Interval
Jan 6, 2011
I'm working on a game, and I'm having some issues because it's kinda "stuttery" - it seems as though the ticks don't get called every x ms like they are supposed to (ofcourse there could be additional problems, but I'll look into those later on - this could also be an issue for other (future) projects).So I tried to have a look at setInterval. I made a new AS3 document with the following code:
Code:
// imports
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.events.Event;
[code]....
The interval probably averages, but it goes as low as 11 and as high as 37 sometimes. As such, I would say this function is not very reliable...

Have a problem with setInterval. How do you check if your interval is still running and don't add another one? When i trace myInterval, it gives me increment numbers, and not true or false? Is that supposed to be normal? If so, how do i check that myInterval is there or not there and do my actions according to the result?

How can you change the interval passed to the setInterval function?
I've tried for hours but it seems to trigger the function a million times.[code]...

Could anyone please tell me how I can change the number of milliseconds at which a setInterval function repeats, whilst the movie is running? I am using setInterval to call a function which duplicates a movieclip and I need the duplication to happen over decreasing amounts of time. The problem seems to be that the setInterval function only needs to be set once, so declaring it again with a new interval value isn't an option.

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?

it looks like the problem is that the interval has not been clear so every time i click away from my slide show (for example navigate to my contact swf) and then come back to the slide show the pictures keep looping on top of each other and fading at the wrong times too.
var id, current;
var k = 0, p = 0;
var slide = 1;
function loadXML(loaded) {

I have a problem with setInterval. I have a button; when you press the button three movie clips fade in and slide across screen. When I set the script so the mc's move without button input, everything is fine. But when I try to set it up with an onRelease handler, BLOOIE!

I am trying to create a Flash file that will export a JPEG file for a certain number of files, using Quasimondo's BitmapExporter class.
I can get it to successfully export 1 image, but I have a problem getting it to export an image for each element in the loop.
I need to pause the script (with an interval perhaps?) to allow the export to finish, then continue and do the same for every element in the loop. (in this case 5 times).
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import com.quasimondo.display.BitmapExporter;
// This is the bitmap that will be drawn

trying to count key presses in a 30 sec interval. if the number of keypresses is above say 20 in 30 secs they go to a new frame, otherwise they go back to the start and the count begins again. using as2 and flash cs4. very confused.... not sure if onEnterFrame is better than keyListener.

I am working on an eLearning course whereas client requied the course to be keyboard accessible. He wants all the shortcuts with Alt key combination.I can trap the Alt key with the use of enterframe but that makes my course processing heavy so I tried to trap Alt key with keylistener event but unfortunately keylistener event doesn't listen Alt key .how to trap Alt key without using enterframe or interval?

This is literally a little script that I have found on the Internet:
this.stop(); //zodat de stage op frame 1 blijft var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000,1);//een timer aanmaken die 1x afgaat na 30 seconden timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler); //luisteren wanneer de timer afgaat timer.start(); //de timer starten

I have a logo which animates one time and stops. What I would like is, it should loop every 5 seconds interval. The following is the action scipt 3 written in the flash document.
var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);
l.load(new URLRequest("MyLogo.swf"));l.x = 100;l.y = 100;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);

Just wondering how to make my interval start when I want it to because im trying to delay a function but i only want that interval to work when the code is being executed so i would have to add some kind of 'start delay' code inside the function.

I am using set interval. I can clear the interval to stop it, but when I use the play(); command it continues from the beginning and I want it to continue from where I left off. The timeline is 10 frame long. I want to continue from a specific frame. I already tried gotoAndPlay (frame#) and it doesn't work. Maybe I had it in the wrong place. I bolded the area that needs some sort of code, somewhere within/below it.
Here is the code.
frame #1
//SET INTERVAL
stop();
callback1 = function (){
if(_currentframe == 10){
gotoAndPlay(1);
clearInterval(ID);

I'm trying to write a card counting counting program and am having issues with the pause on my set interval. Basically, the problem comes when it starts running out of cards; the pause gets longer. how I can make the pause wait until after the card is attached?
Code:
Stop;
card_name = new Array("2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "J", "Q", "K", "A");
card_value = new Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1);
card_suit = new Array("Hearts", "Diamonds", "Spades", "Clubs");

1. spawn an object at a random xy coordinate
2. move this object along the x axis from stage edge to stage edge
3. repeat steps 1 & 2 every 5 seconds
So far i have managed to get my object to spawn in a random place and move from side to side, however every 5 seconds it moves the current object to a random coordinate and continues to scroll on x axis instead of creating another object at a random coordinate.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var distance:Number = 5;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
timer.start();

I am creating a program where I am randomly flashing a series of words, and I would like to be able to record when someone has hit the "x", even very briefly, when looking at the word.I have inserted all of my code below, but I have difficulty with the section in bold. Everything is working except that in order for the "x" key press to be counted, it must be held down as the words actually change. Is there any way to have it record that the "x" is hit even if it very briefly? Whenever I try to use the key listener function, it does not work with my loop for displaying text.
stop();
var tempvariable = new Array();//array create variables stored in Flash to be saved for later display
var itemarray = new Array(); //This is the array to hold the Words that need to be randomly shuffled

I have an interval that executes a function every certain amount of time. This time is supposed to be controled by a variable called "frecuencia". The thing is, when I change the variable the interval will still use the same original value. How can I make the interval UPDATE after I change the variable?[code]...
