Hi Gustave,
Here is the answer to your query.
The best way for any timing related task is to use Interval.
Here is the syntax:
var <variable name>:Number = setInterval(<function name to call>, <time
interval in millisecond>);
function <function name to call>(){
//do your task here..
}
////////////////////////////////////////////
The following is the example for your inderstanding & testing.
this.createTextField("date_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10,
100, 22);
date_txt.autoSize = true;
date_txt.selectable = true;
var date_interval:Number = setInterval(updateTime, 500, date_txt);
function updateTime(my_txt:TextField) {
my_txt.text = new Date().toString();
trace(my_txt.text);
}
I hope, this is well enough to solve your problem.
Thanks & regards,
Parvaiz Patel.
