[flexcoders] Timer to run function every 30 min

[David Brown]

Hello all,   I could use some help.  I have been livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2docs looking for a way to create a timer function that would execute a function every 30 min.  I found an example of mytimer and looked at a example for simple analog clock.  But I am having a hard time understanding how it relates to my code.  Below is a code snipet.   I would like to run the InitApp() function every 30 min.  That should refresh my two datagrids that inturn will update my screen.   Any help would be great.   Thank David   mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" width="500" height="56" backgroundGradientColors="[#ffffff, #ffffff]" creationComplete="initVars()" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" borderColor="#ff0000" backgroundColor="#ffffff" borderStyle="solid" borderThickness="1">      <mx:Script>         <![CDATA[    import mx.logging.LogEvent;    /* import flash.events.MouseEvent;    import mx.events.FlexEvent; */    import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;          import mx.effects.*;    import mx.events.*;          import mx.rpc.events.*;          import mx.controls.Alert;    import mx.managers.PopUpManager;    import flash.events.Event;       import flash.events.TimerEvent;       import flash.utils.Timer;                import mx.controls.Alert;             import mx.collections.*;             import flash.net.*;             import flash.display.Sprite;       [Bindable]                   public var mylocID:String;         // Assign values to new properties.          private function initVars():void {     InitApp();          }             public function InitApp():void    {      // assign values passed from the html object flashvars     mylocID = Application.application.parameters.mylocID;     // if no value passed from the html object tag then assign value     if (mylocID == null) {      mylocID = "29223";     }     // get weather     weatherSvc.qryCurrentWeather(mylocID);     weatherSvc.qryExtendedWeather(mylocID);     // set focus on the first row of the grids     dgCurrentWeather.selectedIndex = 0;     dgExtendedWeather.selectedIndex = 0;             }              ]]>     </mx:Script>      <mx:RemoteObject id="weatherSvc" destination="ColdFusion" source="Widgets.cfc.widgets" showBusyCursor="true" /> __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
