Re: [flexcoders] Timer to run function every 30 min

60 * 30 * 1000

60 seconds
times
30 minutes
times
1000 miliseconds
equals
1800000

I recommend using "60 * 30 * 1000" instead of the "1800000" so it's easier for you to change/debug

and then just add an event listener on "timer" event name along with the function you want it to call upon 30 minutes and then your done :p

Hello all,

I could use some help. I have been livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2docs looking for a way to create a timer function that would execute a function every 30 min. I found an example of mytimer and looked at a example for simple analog clock. But I am having a hard time understanding how it relates to my code. Below is a code snipet.

I would like to run the InitApp() function every 30 min. That should refresh my two datagrids that inturn will update my screen.

Any help would be great.

Thank

David
