Thanks Muzak
I think the WeatherManager is a Singleton - well thats what it said in the
book:)
import Observable;
import WeatherMessage;
class WeatherManager extends Observable {
// -----------
// Constructor
// -----------
private function WeatherManager() {
weatherTimer = setInterval(mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
changeWeather), 5000);
}
public static function getWeather():WeatherManager {
if (weather == null) {
weather = new WeatherManager();
}
return weather;
}

Undocumented? Maybe you meant "documented"?
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001766.html
<quote>
setInterval function
setInterval(functionReference:Function, interval:Number, [param1:Object,
param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
setInterval(objectReference:Object, methodName:String, interval:Number,
[param1:Object, param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
</quote>
And further down on that page there's a complete example.
And the weatherInterval property should be private.
There is no problem whatsoever with private properties and setInterval.
I use them all the time.
You should consider making the WeatherManager class a Singleton as well.

Muzak
