[flexcoders] Re: Interval

[Andrew Spaulding]

Hi,

I've got it working with the following sample code. I just made a
slight change to your startInterval method to reference the calling
object (this).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>

  <mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
        
    var accint:Number;

    function startInterval():Void
    {           
        accint = setInterval( this, 'changeAccordian', 5000 );
    }

    function changeAccordian():Void
    {
        if ( services2.selectedIndex > 0 )
        {
            services2.selectedIndex--;
        }
        else
        {
            stopInterval();
        }
    }

    function stopInterval():Void
    {
        clearInterval( accint );
    }
                
  ]]>
  </mx:Script>
        
  <mx:Accordion id="services2" creationComplete="startInterval()"
    width="100%" height="100%" selectedIndex="2">
                
    <mx:Box label="Page 1" width="100%" height="100%" />
                
    <mx:Box label="Page 2" width="100%" height="100%" />
                
    <mx:Box label="Page 3" width="100%" height="100%" />
                
  </mx:Accordion>

</mx:Application>
