Hi Steve,
That got it quick and easy. Thanks a lot. Marking as solved.
Regards,
Angelo

Two ways....
1. Add the repeat count parameter to the constructor:
labelTimer = new Timer(5000, messages.length) ;
2. A little math is required (Arrays are zero based and the first event
triggered will have a count of 1. We need to take that into account):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf- 8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http: //www.adobe. com/2006/ mxml" layout="vertical"
creationComplete= "onCreationCompl ete()">
<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(1500);
labelTimer.addEvent Listener( TimerEvent. TIMER,
labelTimerTriggered );
labelTimer.start( );
}
private function labelTimerTriggered (event:TimerEven t):void
{
if(labelTimer. currentCount > messages.length - 1)
{
labelTimer.stop( );
}
timerLabel.text = messages[(labelTime r.currentCount - 1) %
messages.length] ;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label id="timerLabel" />
</mx:Application>
