Re: [Flashcoders] hidden function: settimeout?
Its like the javascript setTimeout... fire once forget about it - cleans itself up (instead of creating a setInterval and then cleaning it up, checking to make sure it didn't exist before creating, etc.) It is undocumented but its in there. - e.dolecki On 2/27/06, lars [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i just ported a little javascript game to flash and forgot to translate on line: settimeout(moveenemies, speed)... i first noticed when exporting it to flash7 because the enemies didnt move, but the do when exported to flash8! what's going on? settimeout works in flash8? is this some externalinterface thingy or what? thanks: lars ___ 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 ___ 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] hidden function: settimeout?
setTimeout works in Flash 8, but it's not documented. They didn't bother because they deprecated it in Flash Player 8.5. ...I still like setTimeout the best, though, so I still use it.

Re: [Flashcoders] hidden function: settimeout?
yeah, gotta switch back from settimeout to setinterval now (because of the need to export for flash 7). btw: is there an better way to update the interval without having to clear it first?
