RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval and loadMovie
You orphaned a running interval. You need to make sure you clearInterval first. You could put it in the onUnload of your loaded movie, or you could clear the interval in that swf just before you loadMovie.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval and loadMovie
Here is my problem, when loading the the .swfs into the main movie, the first one naturally, is ok. But when I try loading another .swf to replace the current on, the old .swf is gone but its interval is still alive and kicking. What, what?! What is happening? setIntervals continue to be running even when their original movieclip is deleted, unloaded, or otherwise removed. It exists on some kind of global scope. Always clearInterval your intervals. It's the only way to make them stop. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval and loadMovie
Use "clearInterval(reStartSlides);" when you want the interval to stop. -Keith http://home.mn.rr.com/keithreinfeld -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Flash Mel Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2006 10:04 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] setInterval and loadMovie Evening, I'm having a brainfart here.
