Re: [Flashcoders] [AS3] Timers behaving erratically

2007-02-27 Thread Nick Johnston 

How many instances are getting recreated? If you are creating a Singleton,
only one instance is getting created. That could be an issue. Either that or
you are probably removing the EventListener. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hope that helps. :)

 classes. The second time this class is instantiated, the
 timers don't fire. Any reason why this is happening?

Actually, nowhere in the application they aren't firing.
Here's the code that disables the application:



public static function disable(message:String):void {
  with (_instance) {
var snapshot:Bitmap = takeSnapshot();

destroyForm();

_container.addChildAt(snapshot, 0);
_container.addChildAt(drawCurtains(), 1);
_container.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseClickHandler);

showAlert(message);

_container.stage.invalidate();

_enabled = false;
  }
}


private function destroyForm():void {
  _container.removeChild(_container.getChildByName(form));
  _form = null;
}

[Flashcoders] [AS3] Timers behaving erratically

2007-02-23 Thread Daniel Thompson 
I have a class that I instantiate. At some point in the running of my
application, I destroy almost every display list object (to disable the
application). Later, the user can enable the application, and I recreate all
classes. The second time this class is instantiated, the timers don't fire.
Any reason why this is happening?

Thanks,
-DT

 I recreate all classes.

To be very clear, I recreate an instance... the classes are the same ;o)
