Here is my sample code to demonstrate you the concept of setting
interval (reset automatically if user fail to answer quiz in given
time), interrupting interval and refreshing it (when user answer the
quiz within given time, represented by onMouseDown event).
Copy and paste all code into fresh FLA and test run it. If you don't
click on the stage, the movie will refresh to next round in 3 secs
unless you click on the stage to interrupt the timer, once you stop
clicking, timer will go back to it's normal routine.
[CODE]
var timeFrame = 3000; // interval per question
var count = 0; // counter
onLoad = function(){
_root.createTextField("txt",10,10,10,50,20);
setTimer();
}
function setTimer(){
clearInterval(intIdle);
intIdle = setInterval(nextRound, timeFrame);
}
// Kill timer permanently
function killTimer(){
clearInterval(intIdle);
}
function nextRound(){
// actions you want to perform when time's up
txt.text = "Round " + (count++);
txt._x += 15;
setTimer(); // reset new timer
}
onMouseDown=function(){
nextRound();
}
[/CODE]

I got some stuff working now ;-=)
Looks like I had some infinite loop indeed. Pff.
