Flex - Calling A Function Once Then Repeated At A Set Interval?
Jun 23, 2010
I have a function which makes a call to the server to load some financial data. This data is then displayed in a grid. In order to keep displaying the latest data I keep making this server call (every 30 secs). I'm using a Timer object to do this. The problem I have is that I have to wait 30 secs when the application starts for financial data to be displayed, what I'd like to happen is that the load data call is made, then start the update timer. Is there a way to set this up or shall I use to data load calls, one to get the initial data, then one to get the updates, which is made every 30 secs?

I'm an interior architect at a small architecture firm and I have been tasked with updating the firms website. I have no prior experience with flash, but have been able to learn enough to update all expcept for the portfolio section. For some reason, when I add three additional frames to the portfolio gallery timeline, it repeats the previous three frames before playing the new three. This happens only when I publish the file, when I run the timeline and view it on the stage everything appears fine.

Right now, I have a gallery with many different thumbnails each individual movie clip symbols and not button symbols and each movie clip has a rollover and rollout function assigned to them which are all basically the same for each thumbnail.
Following is an example from a small section of the gallery thumbnails.
web04.btn04.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
web04.btn04.onRollOut = function() {
[Code]....
The above shows two groups of thumbnails grouped into individual movie clips (web01, web02, web03) each movie clip containing 3 thumbnails (btn04, sub04_1, sub04_2). I had done it this way for grouping and ease of animation.
I was wondering if it was possible to create just one function which executes the rollover and rollout functions so the script window would not be filled with so much repeated script.

I am creating a driving game using the following method to drive the car forward: if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {speed += 1;} I also want to call a function when the key is pressed athough if I add a function call the function gets repeated as long as the key is pressed and I only require it to run once?

I hope I have worded the question ok. I know that you can pass the 'id' of the component but I'm just wondering if there is a more generic way. I have tried using 'this' (shown in example below) but the 'this' keyword refers to the application.

In my main application I have a viewstack with 3 child views. In the viewstack change handler, I programmatically change the selectedchild property.
I understand that the initialize method for the view is not called every time I change the selectedChild Property. So I tried to invoke the init method programmatically too..

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
Code:
//////////////////////////
/* IMPORTS AND INCLUDES */

If I need to call a specific function in the parent application from a child in a flex project, what's the best practice for this? Would it be to dispatch a custom event from the child and have a listener call that function? Or to directly call the function with FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication?

what i'm trying to achieve is to be able to create a random time frame betw 1 to 8 seconds before it calls a movie clip from the library.
Code:
function layEgg(hens) {
//set random time in sec
var timeGap = Math.floor(Math.random()*(8+1))+1;
[Code]....
however the time interval is not working. i managed to trace the random timeGap.
