Ah, thanks. The event handler containing the conditional was being called twice, I had an unnecessary dispatchEvent(e) in another class.
PS: I replaced the actual conditional with (1 == 1) when simplifying the code to see where what was going wrong, ha. It actually checks to see if at least five seconds of a video have played. _ _ _ Erik Mattheis Senior Web Developer Minneapolis T 952 346 6610 C 612 377 2272 Weber Shandwick Advocacy starts here.

On the timeline, it works as expected, tracing, 1 1 True But when I have it inside my class, it traces, 1 0 false 1 1 True What am I not seeing or understanding here? Thanks.. //******** Version on timeline: var _timer:Timer; function init() { _timer = new Timer(250, 0); _timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, checkPlaying); _timer.start(); } function checkPlaying(e:TimerEvent) : void { if (1 == 1) { e.target.stop(); trace(e.target.currentCount, _timer.currentCount); trace(e.target == _timer); } } init(); //******** Version in class: public function Tracker(video) { _video = video; } public function init() { _timer = new Timer(250, 0); _timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, checkPlaying); _timer.start(); } function checkPlaying(e:TimerEvent) : void if (1 == 1) { e.target.stop(); trace(e.target.currentCount, _timer.currentCount); trace(e.target == _timer); } } I'm instantiating it from another class like this: if (_tracker == null) { _tracker = new Tracker(_videoScreen); } _tracker.init(); _ _ _ Erik Mattheis Senior Web Developer Minneapolis T 952 346 6610 C 612 377 2272 Weber Shandwick Advocacy starts here.
