I'm not sure if the way I did makes the garbage collector remove the timer. Here are my two functions:
public function newWave() {
var callTimer:Timer = new Timer(800);
callTimer.start();
[code].....
Would the following code be correct and if not can someone assist me in making it work
var fw:Fireworks = new Fireworks(590,300);
addChild(fw);
var t:Timer = new Timer(10000, 0);

I want to add a child to the stage for 5 seconds and then remove it. When I use the following code I get a "1120: Access of undefined property WordoScreen." error.
In particular the problem only occurs when I use the "removeChild(WordonScreen);" using the TIMER_COMPLETE. If I remove that statement I don't have a problem.[code]...
I have a main swf that loads swf with photo gallery. Photos change with timer. But when i remove child with gallery in main swf timer still works and loads photos. I can see that in my trace window and in bandwidth profile while testing swf. Is there any special reason why removing child does not kill/stop timer and do i have to stop it from my main swf or is there any workarounds?
edit: I just read this article: [URL]
So i have to remove listener in my main application in order to stop timer?

I want to remove an object that is created in a loop, with a timer.
var timer:Timer = new Timer(2000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, voegtoe);
In function voegtoe I'm adding an Movieclip Object called man:
man.x=Math.random()*650;
man.y=Math.floor(Math.random()*(70))+350;
addChild(man);
I want to remove this object after 2 seconds. The problem is that there are multiple 'man' objects.
I am adding a Timer object when my flv playback enters a Pause state and removing that Timer Object when playback starts again. I noticed that if I pause the movie and then drag the slider on the timeline the movie enters the Pause State again which adds another Timer Object....
How do I check to see if the Timer has already been added and if so remove it and add a new one.
See code below:
my_player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PAUSED_STATE_ENTERED, pausePlay);
my_player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, startPlay);
function pausePlay(e:VideoEvent):void {

I having a little trouble with the countdown tutorial here. I want to remove the milliseconds and have the timer based on seconds instead. How do I do that? I'm using Flash 8 if that means anything.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a video game and I have used timers all over the place to make everything go. Now I want to be able to pause the game, completely. Meaning, I need to stop and start all timer instances at once, or globally. So I created a Timer subclass called CustomTimer, put some statics in there, came up with the attached code. Now my problem is that I'm pretty sure I've created a memory leak, in that the instances array will just grow and wont allow or gc. So, my question is, is there an "onDestroy()" method or somesuch, that I can override, and use that moment to remove instance refs from the instances array? Or, is there a smarter way to do this? an application object with a pause method perhaps?
View 11 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

What is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
View 1 RepliesI have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?
View 1 RepliesIn my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.

How to i create a timer that executes the following peice of code after 10 seconds:[code].
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to put a flv or swf on a frame and in a frame above or below or for that matter on the frame itself have a timer that I could time to be the same as the flv or swf.I would like to do the in actionscript 2 The idea behind this would be if I had a 30 second video I could set the timer for 30 seconds so upon completion, or in other words after the 30 seconds it would gotoAndPlay the frame requested.

I'm working on a simple catching game where you have monsters coming out from the corner of the screen and you need to get them with the mouse.What I want to do is change the rate at which the monsters come out depending on the score. The higher the score, the more monsters should come out.The code for creating new monsters is a simple timer event:[code]it works when I declare the variable locally within the function. But then I can't access it outside of it, so it's no good!
