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
