Hi,
you asked this question before, and I replied to it, why not continue that
thread instead of reposting it?
You are on the right track though, there are different approaches:
1. waiting a number of frames:
var curFrame:Number = 0;
var frameRate:Number = 12;
var waitFrames:Number = 20*frameRate; //wait 20 seconds
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
curFrame++;
if(waitFrames== curFrame){
trace("llegamos");
}
}
Or use setInterval:
var intervalID:Number = setInterval("myFunc", 20*1000);//set interval to 20
secs
function myFunc(){
clearInterval(intervalID);
trace("llegamos");
}
The other thing is that you have to understand why your code is wrong:
var now = getTimer(); //get milliseconds passed since swf start FOR
EXAMPLE 123541
var seconds:Number = now/1000; //seconds passed since swf start 123,541
var later:Number = seconds+20; //143,541
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
//seconds does not change, later does not change so each frame we compare
123,541 with 143,541
//even you would update seconds, the chance that seconds becomes 143,541 is
near 0.
if(seconds == later){
trace("llegamos");
}
}
trace(seconds);

Hi, I'm trying to set a timer to trigger a event after 20 seconds or
less, but so far i have this code, but with no results
someone help me? .
I don't know how could I got into but some help might be needed
this is the code: is inside the first frame of a movie clip and the 4
frame has: gotoAndPlay(1);
var now = getTimer();
var seconds:Number = now/1000;
var later:Number = seconds+20;
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
if(seconds == later){
trace("llegamos");
}
}
trace(seconds);
