I take that back...never use it...you can always use onEnterFrame on the root.

When I was using AS2 I found that no matter what there were always memory leaks with set interval and even after I explicitly tell Flash to remove the interval it never got removed... So even though I never wrote it I would offer the following advice, which is to *almost* not use setInterval at all. Just use it once, for the root... 1) Move all functionality for intervals to a script on the root 2) The root is always available, and you won't have intervals all over the place 3) Create only one interval for a function on the root which is responsible for calling functions 4) The function should get the same sort of information as whats required by setInterval. 5) Call functions based on the timer. Time since movie started. A little math should test if the objects which are registered with your script should be called again. I would also recommend enabling this function to support something like "call this function X times every 1000 ms). Rather than call this object every 1000ms. That way you can delete it automatically if its reached that number. 6) That script keeps information on what intervals are set 7) The script periodically checks for objects which no longer exists and deletes them from the interval array. 8) Intervals are set or removed by calling a root function. Use the delegate class to say which function gets the interval callback and also pass a reference to the object.

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful nor conceited It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins...but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope... and to endure... whatever comes. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
