Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
Its undocumented, but it works in a fire once kind of situation like javascript: foo = setTimeout( func, ms) clearTimeout(foo) but only if you need to stop the interval. Otherwise, just fire it and forget it. e.d. On 10/30/05, Kent Humphrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric E.

Why is something so useful undocumented? I have to bend over backwards to create single-fire timers.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
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?

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?

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval() and the trouble
At first glance it looks like you have a potential continuous loop issue?
stopwatchComplete() questionComplete() stopwatchComplete() and
so on if (id = questions.length)
Second is I don't see where id is defined in questionComplete() did
you mean to type this instead:
if ( questionId = questions.length )

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!

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.
Yours,
