If you want to see the hearts to appear one at a time you need to add them at a rate slower than your frame rate (give the stage a chance to update). Might want to use setInterval to add the hearts. hth

Then use a tween engine to fade the heart in with a delay. Use your "i" variable as the delay in seconds. ------Original Message------ From: Gustavo Duenas Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] making a repeating effect Sent: Feb 4, 2010 2:00 PM Hi Guys, I'm trying to accomplish this: so far I a mac named heart which is hence a heart, so I'm trying to make a repetition of it along the screen until it reach the number of 1000 or less, but so far I don't have the effect of its repeating one to one, instead I have all of them at the same time, there is a way to do this, maybe I'm losing something if anyone of you knows a site where that effects is explained for not left brainers as me, let me know. Gus. here is my code stop() import flash.display.*; for(var i:Number=0; i<5000; i++){ var heart:MovieClip = new Heart(); heart.width= Math.random()*i *2; heart.height=Math.random()*i * 2; heart.x=Math.random()*i *2; heart.y=Math.random()*i *2; addChild(heart); trace(heart); } //true is I have a lot of hearts on the screen but I would like those to start appearing one to one. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Nathan Mynarcik Interactive Web Developer nat...@mynarcik.com 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
