Here is a simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical"
creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var labelTimer:Timer;
private var messages:Array = [ "This is my first
message",
"This is my second message",
"This is my last message"];
private function onCreationComplete():void
{
labelTimer = new Timer(5000); // 5 Seconds
labelTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,
labelTimerTriggered);
labelTimer.start();
}
private function labelTimerTriggered(event:TimerEvent):void
{
timerLabel.text = messages[labelTimer.currentCount %
messages.length];
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label id="timerLabel" text="This is my first message"/>
</mx:Application>
