Hey all, I am stumped. I am trying to make my CountDownTimer component
as reusable as I can and I am stumped on how to pass a function
reference to it.
Here is what I want to do:
when the timer finally reaches the end, I want to fire a function that
is in the parent document so I can use my logic for when this event
occurs.
I have my custom event all registered and it fires when its supposed
to, but how the heck do I reference this outside function?
****************** CODE BELOW ********************************
package
{
import mx.controls.Text;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
import flash.events.Event;
public class CountDownTimer extends Text{
public var minutes:Number=1;
public var seconds:Number=59;
public var timedOut:Function;
private var minuteDisplay:Number=minutes-1;
private var zero:String="";
private var newTimer:Timer;
public function CountDownTimer(){
super();
}
private function onTick(event:TimerEvent):String{
seconds--;
if(seconds < 10){
zero = "0";
} else {
zero = "";
}
if(seconds == 30 || seconds == 0){
var n:Number;
var m:Number;
if(seconds == 0){
n=59;
} else {
n=30;
}
if(minutes != 0 && seconds != 30){
m=minutes-1;
} else {
m=minutes;
}
parentDocument.runUpdate(minutes,seconds);
}
text = minutes + ":" + zero + seconds;
return text;
}
public function timerEnd(event:TimerEvent):void{
trace("timer ended");
if(minutes == 0 && seconds == 0){
text = "0:00";
newTimer.dispatchEvent(new
Event("timerTimedOut"));
return;
}
startTimer();
}
public function startTimer():void{
if(seconds == 0){
seconds=59;
} else {
seconds = seconds;
}
minutes--;
newTimer = new Timer(1000,seconds);
newTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,timerEnd);
newTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);
newTimer.addEventListener("timerTimedOut",timedOutListener);
newTimer.start();
trace("timer started");
}
public function stopTimer():void{
newTimer.stop();
trace("timer stopped");
}
private function timedOutListener(eventObj:Event):void{
trace("Timed out listener fired");
stopTimer();
//this is where I need to call the passed in function
//timedOut();
}
}
}
thanks for any help!
