setTimeout works just like setInterval except it only runs once.
Unfortunately it's not in the intrinsic classes, so either set it
up locally
in your intrinsic class definitions (never a good idea), or call it
using
array notation; _global ["setTimeout"].

setTimeout(fadeOut, 7000);
Sure you aren't thinking of Javascript? ;)

You should rethink your approach,
I believe it will be easier to just
start a fade in,
wait 10 seconds,
fade out.
When the fade out is complete start over with another picture.
untested code below :
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var curID = 0;
fadeIn();
function fadeIn() {
curID++;
var curMC:MovieClip = "image" + curID;
myTween = new Tween(curMC, "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 1.5,
false); // or something like that
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, pauseImage);
}
function pauseImage() {
setTimeout(fadeOut, 7000);
}
function fadeOut() {
var curMC:MovieClip = "image" + curID;
myTween = new Tween(curMC, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0,
1.5,
false);
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, fadeIn);
if (curID < 6) curID = 0; // we start back at the first image
}
HTH !

Subject: [Flashcoders] Set Interval Question
Hello Again,
I have a setInterval issue/question, here it is. I set a main
timer.
10
seconds. In that 10 second interval, I load, fade in, pause on, and
fade
out, that image. That is working mostly fine. Accept I have a
seperate
setInterval starting for the images fade in and fade out functions
(1.25
sec
* 2). And have it pausing for the remainder which should be 7.5
seconds.
Problem is it doesn't work out, and by the 4th or 5th image it is
noticably
offset. I am guessing this is because of the time it takes to process
the
code, didn't seem likely at first, but It is not off by much, and it
seems
to be increasing marginally which means that not much, becomes
significant.
Long story short, well...point being that I want to be able to call
the
main
timer, and tap into it at 0-1.25 seconds and then again at 7.5 -10
seconds
to run the image fade in and fade out. Can I do this, from
variableName = SetInterval (function, 10000);
use the running timer for other functions?
Thanks again.
If you need clarification about just what the heck I am trying to say.
I
can send in some code.
Thanks,
Paul Vdst
