You're mixing an instance of the Timer class with setInterval. In order
for a timer to run, you have to tell it to start. Secondly, since the
method the Timer calls is _addNewFlame - that method needs to have an
event specified as an argument.
private function _addNewFlame(event:TimerEvent):void
{
}
I would use either the Timer or setInterval, but I wouldn't try and mix
them both.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Function Doesn't Increment Properly
First, a word of thanks to Glen Pike. That was slick, numChildren!
Second, I like Michael Mendelsohn's idea, however, for what event am I
listening?
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.setInterval;
import flash.utils.clearInterval;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import fireBall;
public class Fire extends MovieClip
{
private var mcFlameContainer:MovieClip;
private var uintMakeAFlame:uint;
private var i:Number = new Number(0);
private var kids:Number = new Number();
private var t:Timer = new Timer(15, 10);
public function Fire()
{
mcFlameContainer = new MovieClip();
addChild(mcFlameContainer);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, _addNewFlame);
// for (i=0; i < 10; i++)
// {
// uintMakeAFlame = setInterval(_addNewFlame, 15);
// }
}
private function _addNewFlame():void
{
var flameNew:fireBall = new fireBall();
mcFlameContainer.addChild(flameNew);
flameNew.y = 200;
flameNew.x = 200;
kids = mcFlameContainer.numChildren;
flameNew.x = 20 + (kids * 10);
trace('hi');
}
}
}
TIA,
John
