My version is the alternative way - not sure about the documentation on it, although I am sure its in there somewhere. Found this: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001662.html
SetInterval returns you a value- a number in fact that is the "id" of that particular interval. Capturing that value and storing it makes sure you have no problems clearing it. The reason you use the this keyword as in this.intID is to ensure that the interval has access to the class properties that it might need. In the case of an fla where you are dumping code, this isn't the case and you can use your form of the interval. > Thanks Stacey, > > Yes it seems you need to pass in the parameter of 'this' before the > function name and time, although I couldn't find reference to this in > any of the manuals I looked in.
