Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
Isn't using Delegate (with setInterval) one step better or are there caveats? Steven, what I don't understand is why, if the intervals are getting orphaned, you wouldn't have the data being pulled much MORE often instead of less often. I'm aware of the issues with orphaning an interval (and just assumed that this code was in a class or was only called once) but I don't understand the resultant behavior in relation to what you're saying.

Yes! Always pass the scope when using setInterval. I think it's bad
that they even included the option to not pass the scope.

Using setInterval this way specifies the scope object you want to call your
method on. This also goes a long way to ensuring that your interval will
work as you intended it to.

If you overwrite a reference to an interval with another interval, you

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
"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, 6);
}
this way your setInterval is called once and will do its thing every
minute and independent of the timeline activity.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
No, I mean that he is only calling setInterval once and has no
apparent need to even assign it to a variable for use with
clearInterval later.

Steven, why is that? If he's only calling it once and the interval is
only defined/set once, why would you call clearInterval?

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
An interval is fired at each interval. What you're talking about is a
setTimeout which is fired only once after a delay (timeout). An interval is
fired an infinite number of times until clearInterval is called.

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
What I would highly recommend is externalizing your interval and data
loading into a class. This way, you have the class handle its own state and
data, fire an event once it's loaded or reloaded data and have your movie
listen for that event. The class can then be instantiated just once at the
beginning of your movie. OR, use a Singleton to ensure a single
instantiation. I would probably advise against the Singleton approach for
your purposes, though.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
I'm wondering the same as Alexander...perhaps it's something to do with the timeline, or with other code that is happening around the code you posted. Is there anything else we should know? You should also just put a trace at the top of the intervalLoop() function to see if the problem may be with the server. It is unlikely but I've seen stranger. It may not even be with the server, it may be with the XML object you have there. If you're deleting it in the first iteration but not initializing it with 'var xmlData = new XML();", then where would it be coming from after it's deleted? That is, unless you're doing something outside that function. Hope that makes sense...I'm just now pouring my first cup of coffee into my belly.

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval creates tooltip, then kills it
Thanks, Grégoire. Your thought process seemed to work. I also ended up having
to include a check for whether or not the tooltip MC was undefined
onEnterFrame.
- MM
class toolbarFunctions extends MovieClip {
private var tipID:Number;
function toolbarFunctions() {
}
function onRollOver():Void {
this.tipID = setInterval(this, "displayTip", 1000);
}
function displayTip():Void {
// create text container...
// check to see if it was getting created again and again...
if (_root.tooltip == undefined) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("tooltip", 20);
_root.tooltip.createTextField("tip", 1, 0, 0, 100, 100);
_root.tooltip.tip.text = "tooltip";
// make text follow mouse...
_root.tooltip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
var coord:Object = {xx:_root._xmouse,
yy:_root._ymouse};
this._x = coord.xx;
this._y = coord.yy;
};
clearInterval(this.tipID);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval creates tooltip, then kills it
The issue is not the interval but the rollOver. when you move your
mouse, the tooltip MC is not immediately moved and you roll over it (so
you got the
I-beam cursor) when it is moved the rollOver function is called again
and the interval is launched again.
You only have to put _root.tooltip.onMouseMove instead of
_root.tooltip.onEnterFrame and it will be ok (until the user don't move
the mouse too fast)
Mendelsohn, Michael a écrit :
Hi list...
//Happy new year!
I have a tooltip function that makes a tooltip MC follow the mouse over
when rolling over another MC, but it gets blown out after two frames,
and the mouse turns to an I-beam cursor. I can't figure out why. I
*don't* think it's a setInterval issue, but I might be wrong.
Curiously, the onEnterFrame function works only when I *don't* set the
_x property of the tooltip MC.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval
The first form is fine, but you are trying to address a function
called checkLoading inside an instance of ImageLoader, which does not
exist..
if checkLoading is on the root level, then you would say:
intId = setInterval(_root, "checkLoading", 100 );
The second form is incorrect, no quotes there..
Why not just use the built in onProgress event in ImageLoader?

Here is my problem, when loading the the .swfs into the main movie, the first one naturally, is ok. But when I try loading another .swf to replace the current on, the old .swf is gone but its interval is still alive and kicking. What, what?! What is happening? setIntervals continue to be running even when their original movieclip is deleted, unloaded, or otherwise removed. It exists on some kind of global scope. Always clearInterval your intervals. It's the only way to make them stop. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] SetInterval vs. onEnterFrame
setInterval's use up next to nothing on processor, even if you have 20 of them going. I find that the best judgement of which to use is the task at hand. Because framerate is for animation, I find it best to use onEnterFrame when doing coded animation. Flash will cause an automatic screen redraw each frame and because the onEnterFrame executes precisely before this redraw it's the perfect chance to make display changes and scripted tweens. To keep processor to a minimum it is good to use only one onEnterFrame because many of them will make a processor difference. The way to do this is set up an "enterFrameBroadcaster" ... basically have one onEnterFrame running and dispatching an "enterFrame" event each cycle. Then many objects can listen. This was first used by Robert Penner I believe and is built in to the Macromedia tween classes. I also have a version if you can't find one suitable. To have a smooth animation using setInterval you must call updateAfterEvent() in the interval, forcing a redraw. Each additional screen redraw you make is additional processor - the framerate redraw will happen regardless. The best time to use setInterval is when you want to achieve a specific interval of time.

RE: [Flashcoders] SetInterval vs. onEnterFrame
Yes, it would be more processor and memory intensive to use empty movieclips for sync. The reason for this is that a movieclip is a special kind of object that has a ton of its own built-in methods and properties, none of which you need for timing purposes. Managing the interval id's shouldn't be a problem - you should be able to scope them to one object whose purpose is to keep track of them all. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rifled Cloaca Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 5:03 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] SetInterval vs. onEnterFrame Flashcoders, I'm building a modular system that contains various programmatic animations within seperate modules, coordinated by a central wrapper class.

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval inside created Clip

Ok.. for some odd reason, that works.
This doesn't:
newClip.intervalid = setInterval( newClip, "doSomething", 1000 );
But this does:
var intID =setInterval( newClip, "doSomething", 1000 );
Really friggin' weird. Thanks for all the suggestions guys...

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval inside created Clip
Nope... still won't go. I actually decided to do a little test and when I set the function to be onEnterFrame instead of doSomething, it performs well. The only problem is that I'm unsure how many clips could be running at the same time and I don't want a performance hit... !K -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Gerig Sent: February 24, 2006 12:10 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval inside created Clip maybe: newClip.intervalid = setInterval(newClip,"doSomething", 200); Kevin Aebig wrote: >Nope... didn't work.

[Flashcoders] setInterval inside created Clip
Hey All,
I'm looping through a structure adding movieclips along the way for each
element. I need to setup a separate interval inside each new clip. If I call
the function directly, I need this to be constantly updating without an
onEnterFrame.
_root.work.createEmptyMovieClip( newName, vItemCount );
//
var newClip = _root.work[newName];
//
// this function redraws the line
newClip.doSomething = function()
{
// {.}
}
// I've tried all of the following
// newClip.intervalid = setInterval(this, doSomething, 200);
// newClip.intervalid = newClip.setInterval(doSomething, 200);
// newClip.intervalid = setInterval(newClip, doSomething, 200);
Any insight or help is appreciated.
Cheers,

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval interfering with Sound
Try commenting out the line that makes the light flash - but still fire the interval. If it doesn't interfere anymore, then that means it's the drawing of the light that interferes.

[Flashcoders] setInterval interfering with Sound
Has anyone experienced an interval stopping sounds? I made a basketball game where I have an interval which creates random flashes of light on the stage. When the user misses or gets a ball in, a sound is initiated, which is totally unrelated to the interval. Gradually the flashes of light gets faster and faster -- in other words, I first clear the flash interval and then reset the interval with a smaller millisecond value. As this value approaches 1 millisecond (I know, that's pretty fast), this interval starts interfering with the sounds, which are unrelated to this interval. The sounds would be initiated by the user's shooting of the ball and almost as soon as the sound starts, it prematurely stops. What's happening here? Why is this happening? thanks in advance! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Flashcoders] SetInterval Magic
Dhiraj Girdhar wrote:
Hi Guys,
I am using second option of setInterval, but I am not able to
understand the scope issue here.
If you pass a function, the function is not called as part of its
original class. An example:
class myClass
{
private var myNumber = 5;
public function doSomething()
{
trace("myNumber is " + myNumber);
}
}
With setInterval(doSomething, 1000), you'll trace "myNumber is
undefined" once a second, because the function is not being called as a
method of myClass, so it doesn't have access to the other members of the
class.
With setInterval(this, doSomething, 1000), it works. Or
setInterval(someOtherClassObject, otherFunction, 1000).
Imagine that if you don't specify the parent object of the method, the
method is "uprooted" from the object, and forced to exist as an
anonymous function.
Is there any solution other than Delegates? As, I am working for Flash 6 also.
Before Flash 7, I think people wrote their own Delegate classes. Perhaps
someone can provide sample code. I know that when I worked with Flash 5
and 6, I didn't know about Delegates at all, so I cursed the scope rules
daily.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] SetInterval Magic
Hi guys,
It's important to realise that setInterval has two different ways to call it.
The first, and most commonly used, is this:
setInterval(functionReference:Function, interval:Number,
[param1:Object, param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
The second, which is less well known, but substantially more reliable, is this:
setInterval(objectReference:Object, methodName:String,
interval:Number, [param1:Object, param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
Although the first example will work, the function will execute in the
wrong scope.
The second, however, because it allows you to specify the scope in
which it executes, is far more reliable.
For example, if I'm inside a class, and want to call a public method
of that same class every 1000 ms, I would use:
setInterval(this,"myFunction",1000);
What's important to understand here is the difference between passing
the name of the function, and *the function itself* - which is what's
happening in the first example. There has been a lot of confusion
about this over the past few years, mostly due to ambiguous
documentation. Have a look here for a well written piece of
documentation on the subject:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/1766.html
Hope this helps,

Re: [Flashcoders] SetInterval Magic
Hi guys,
It's important to realise that setInterval has two different ways to call it.
The first, and most commonly used, is this:
setInterval(functionReference:Function, interval:Number,
[param1:Object, param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
The second, which is less well known, but substantially more reliable, is this:
setInterval(objectReference:Object, methodName:String,
interval:Number, [param1:Object, param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
Although the first example will work, the function will execute in the
wrong scope.
The second, however, because it allows you to specify the scope in
which it executes, is far more reliable.
For example, if I'm inside a class, and want to call a public method
of that same class every 1000 ms, I would use:
setInterval(this,"myFunction",1000);
What's important to understand here is the difference between passing
the name of the function, and *the function itself* - which is what's
happening in the first example. There has been a lot of confusion
about this over the past few years, mostly due to ambiguous
documentation. Have a look here for a well written piece of
documentation on the subject:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/1766.html
Hope this helps,
Alias

[Flashcoders] SetInterval Magic
Hi Coders,
In following code, I am creating a new dynamic movie clip (in
function N1 of script object) and associating the handler for unload
event. Next I am deleting the same movie clip in function N3 of script
object. But if we are calling the function N3 through setInterval
function, movieclip unload event is not called.
Now if we are calling the same function N3 directly without setInterval,
unload event will be called.
Someone please tell me what is happening here?
script = new Object();
Delay = new Object();
// Delay Object
Delay.delay = function(obj, func)
{
this.mObj = obj;
this.mFunc = func;
// Calling function after an interval of 2 seconds.
setInterval(this.func, 2000, this);
}
Delay.func = function(obj)
{
var temp = obj;
// Calling function N3 of class script.
temp.mObj[temp.mFunc]();
}
// Script Object
script.N1 = function()
{
// Creating a new movie clip.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Dhiraj", 1);
// Associating unload event with it.
_root.Dhiraj.onUnload = function()
{
trace("Dhiraj Unload");
}
// Storing the movie clip instance in member variable.
this.mMC = _root.Dhiraj;
// Calling next function of script.
this.N2();
}
script.N2 = function()
{
// Calling N3 after some delay.
Delay.delay(this, "N3");
}
script.N3 = function()
{
this.mMC.removeMovieClip();
}
script.N1(); // Calling first function of script.

[Flashcoders] setInterval stopping flv playback
I have a class that I use to create a video object on the stage and
play it, works really well except for if you use setInterval ANYWHERE
AT ALL it stops the video on the first interval whether you tell it
to or not and won't resume playing it till you clearInterval
Really don't understand - hope someone can help!!
Slightly simplified (but functional) code as follows:
[PLAYTEST.FLA]
import video.videoPlayer;
var vidvid:videoPlayer = new videoPlayer();
vidvid.attachRef = this;
vidvid.videoObject("viza", this.getNextHighestDepth(), "transcoding/
mrandmrssmith_624x336_700.flv", 10, true, 1, 50, 0, 0, 624, 336, 0);
vidvid.videoObject("ehlo", this.getNextHighestDepth(), "transcoding/
stargate.flv", 10, true, 1, 100, 200, 0, 624, 336, 45);
function poll() {
trace("hello world");
}
setInterval(poll, 5000);
[/PLAYTEST.FLA]
[CLASSES/VIDEO/VIDEOPLAYER.AS]
class video.videoPlayer{
var attachRef:MovieClip;
function videoPlayer(rootRef) {
trace("video.videoPlayer class loaded");
attachRef = rootRef
}
function videoObject(objectName, depth, url, buffer, smooth,
deblock, alpha, xpos, ypos, widt, heigh, rotation) {
trace("videoobjectcalled");
attachRef.createEmptyMovieClip(objectName, depth);
var loader = new MovieClipLoader();
loader.onLoadInit = function(targetMC) {
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
targetMC.videoObj.attachVideo(netStream);
netStream.setBufferTime(buffer);
targetMC.videoObj.smoothing = true;
targetMC.videoObj.deblocking = deblock;
targetMC.videoObj._alpha = alpha;
targetMC.videoObj._rotation = rotation;
targetMC.videoObj._x = xpos;

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
Here is my sample code to demonstrate you the concept of setting
interval (reset automatically if user fail to answer quiz in given
time), interrupting interval and refreshing it (when user answer the
quiz within given time, represented by onMouseDown event).
Copy and paste all code into fresh FLA and test run it. If you don't
click on the stage, the movie will refresh to next round in 3 secs
unless you click on the stage to interrupt the timer, once you stop
clicking, timer will go back to it's normal routine.
[CODE]
var timeFrame = 3000; // interval per question
var count = 0; // counter
onLoad = function(){
_root.createTextField("txt",10,10,10,50,20);
setTimer();
}
function setTimer(){
clearInterval(intIdle);
intIdle = setInterval(nextRound, timeFrame);
}
// Kill timer permanently
function killTimer(){
clearInterval(intIdle);
}
function nextRound(){
// actions you want to perform when time's up
txt.text = "Round " + (count++);
txt._x += 15;
setTimer(); // reset new timer
}
onMouseDown=function(){
nextRound();
}
[/CODE]

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
One trick to use setInterval is to clear the interval ID every time you
establish one regardless if the existence of the interval ID. This will
make sure you still controlling the interval. If you establish
setInterval more than one time to the sample Interval ID, the previous
established interval is still running and you hardly clear it.
Following codes only make minor change to yours. Whenever you want to
reset your watch, you only need to call doStopwatch() function at
anytime like what I did to your imaginary buildQuestion() function. But
I am not sure what you try to do with this IF statement " if ( id >=
questions.length ) " as it seems to create infinity looping when id >=
question.length, unless you have simplified your function for this post
to focus on setInterval thingies..
function doStopwatch() {
// 1second = 1000ms
clearInterval( _root.stopwatchIntervalId ); // **
_root.stopwatchIntervalId = setInterval( _root.stopwatchComplete,
3000 );
}
function stopwatchComplete() {
clearInterval( _root.stopwatchIntervalId );
// trigger the question completed method
_root.questionComplete( _root.question.id, _root.question.type );
}
function questionComplete( questionId, questionType ) {
if ( id >= questions.length ) {
// out of questions
_root.stopwatchComplete();
} else {
// next quesiton
buildQuestion( questionId + 1 );
}
}
function buildQuestion( new_questionId ){
doStopWatch(); // **
// ... Your build question function code
}
If you need IDLE handling sample, I can sen you one

Well, I happen to have a resource xml file which get loaded prioer of
each group of questions, once this group is readed a
method in the root timeline gets triggered which will determine what to
do. This method will also trigger the method buildQuestion() when
required, this method will create a new instance of
"question"-movieclip. After this part is done the function doStopwatch()
is called:
function doStopwatch() {
// 1second = 1000ms
_root.stopwatchIntervalId = setInterval( _root.stopwatchComplete,
3000 );
}
function stopwatchComplete() {
clearInterval( _root.stopwatchIntervalId );
// trigger the question completed method
_root.questionComplete( _root.question.id, _root.question.type ); }
function questionComplete( questionId, questionType ) {
if ( id >= questions.length ) {
// out of questions
_root.stopwatchComplete();
} else {
// next quesiton
buildQuestion( questionId + 1 );
}
}
IF you have a better solution please let me know! I feel so stupid that
I don't get thing timer stuff working.

_root.stopwatchIntervalId = setInterval( _root.stopwatchComplete,
3000 );
}
function stopwatchComplete() {
clearInterval( _root.stopwatchIntervalId );
// trigger the question completed method
_root.questionComplete( _root.question.id, _root.question.type );
}
function questionComplete( questionId, questionType ) {
if ( id >= questions.length ) {
// out of questions
_root.stopwatchComplete();
} else {
// next quesiton
buildQuestion( questionId + 1 );
}
}
IF you have a better solution please let me know! I feel so stupid that
I don't get thing timer stuff working.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
Hi Liam,
First of all I always have had trouble with those methods, never got it
right. Always failed, I don't they dont like!
I imagine you're calling clearInterval with the appropriate interval ID upon
each quiz question submittal, and then afterwards recalling setInterval for
the new question? How does it fail the second time? Does it just never call
it again, or does it call the function at a different interval?
Well, I happen to have a resource xml file which get loaded prioer of
each group of questions, once this group is readed a
method in the root timeline gets triggered which will determine what to
do. This method will also trigger the method buildQuestion() when
required, this method will create a new instance of
"question"-movieclip. After this part is done the function doStopwatch()
is called:
function doStopwatch() {
// 1second = 1000ms
_root.stopwatchIntervalId = setInterval( _root.stopwatchComplete,
3000 );
}
function stopwatchComplete() {
clearInterval( _root.stopwatchIntervalId );
// trigger the question completed method
_root.questionComplete( _root.question.id, _root.question.type );
}
function questionComplete( questionId, questionType ) {
if ( id >= questions.length ) {
// out of questions
_root.stopwatchComplete();
} else {
// next quesiton
buildQuestion( questionId + 1 );
}
}
IF you have a better solution please let me know! I feel so stupid that
I don't get thing timer stuff working.

[Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
Hmm, I am currently working on the "good" version of the quiz only I have a question how I should implementate some part. The quiz should ask yes/no questions and the user should only have three to six seconds to answer the question. If the user fails to answer the question within this time, the answer should be fault. Currently I used a setInterval() with 3000ms only I never get stuff with intervals right. Always it goes all fine the first question, but the second it fals. Does anyone know a good way to implementate this? Maybe through event delegation instead of a interval callback method?
