"pulling the data every time that frame comes up."
Is this called on a timeline with many frames and no stop()? If so, I
think you are setting a completely new interval on each loop of the
frames.
If you want this thing to fire once each minute put it somewhere
outside of this loop of frames and call the setInterval
I don't know how your project is set up but alternative is to check
if the interval exists and don't spawn a new one, something like:
frame 1:
if (_global.initLoop == undefined) {
_global.initLoop = setInterval(intervalLoop, 60000);
}
this way your setInterval is called once and will do its thing every
minute and independent of the timeline activity.

Hey all,
Some of you may remember my problems with visually mapping

before. I ended up needing them as separate clips to provide
individual
roll-over support with the ability to add links in a future revision.
Well, now that I have it performing better, I'm breaking down the
information into intervals of 1 minute "bursts". What I'm trying
to do is
use setInterval to have it pull the data once per minute.
The problem is, when I use setInterval as documented, it waits the
first
minute, does its thing, but then it ignores the interval after that,
pulling the data every time that frame comes up.
Here's the relevant bit of code:
function intervalLoop() {
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.load("wddx.php");
xmlData.onLoad = function () {
wddx = new Wddx();
_root.wddxObj = wddx.deserialize(this);
delete(xmlData);
}
for (j=0; j < _root.lines.length; j++) {
trace("Deleting clip: " + _root.lines[j]["pen"]._name);
_root.lines[j]["pen"].removeMovieClip();
delete(_root.lines[j]["pen"]);
delete(_root.lines[j]["timestamp"]);
_root.lines.splice(j,1);
}
for (var i in _root.wddxObj) {
_root.counter++;
date_now = new Date();
pen = createEmptyMovieClip("curve_" + i + "_mc", 2 +
_root.counter);
trace("Added clip: " + pen._name);
pen.lineStyle(1.5,0xFF6600);
container = {pen: pen, timestamp: date_now};
_root.lines.push(container);
dest_long = _root.wddxObj[i]["long"];
dest_lat = _root.wddxObj[i]["lat"];
site = _root.wddxObj[i]["site"];
src_long = _root.locations[site]["long"];
src_lat = _root.locations[site]["lat"];
curvePoint(pen, src_long, src_lat, dest_long, dest_lat);
}
}
setInterval(intervalLoop, 60000);
Thanks,
