More accurately, I want to display some results when the button is hit
and then I want to pause, and then I want to change states. Like this
movie here:
http://food.aol.com/food-trivia-quizzes/hersheys-kiss
If you look at this movie, when you choose a question, the right answer
is highlighted in green and the wrong answers are hilighted in red.
this lasts for about 2 seconds, and then the wrong answers disappear.
I'm trying to create something like the 2 second pause.
This is what I ended up doing and it is simple and works fine for this
purpose. I'm so glad I didn't have to make a custom trigger for a pause
effect. .
Thanks, again for the help.
private function nextForm( ):void {
// check answers, show correct answers
getForm();
//pause
// creates a new five-second Timer
var minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 5);
minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,
onTimerComplete);
minuteTimer.start();
}
public function onTimerComplete(evt:TimerEvent):void
{
currentState = form + ++_stateIndex;
toplabel.text=Question +_stateIndex+ of +_stateCount;
}

Subject: [flexcoders] How do I pause
My movie changes states when the user hits a button, but I want it to
pause for 5 seconds. How do I do that ? I see something about pausing a
sequence in the documentation. do I have to create a sequence first ?
Can you explain why you need a five second pause after hitting the
button?
In normal circumstances this is a very bad idea because then the user
might
think that nothing is going to happen - is this the intended effect?
You can get the intended effect by getting the button to set up a timed
event in five seconds time - check out 'Controlling time intervals' in
the
Flex help.

Re: [flexcoders] How do I pause
There no example of how to make a pause effect in actionscript here http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/effects/Pause.html so I am pretty much at a loss on how to proceed. I guess I have to make a custom effect trigger like this, but I'm having a really hard time with it. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Partsfile=createeffects_154_15.html Alex Harui wrote: Pause effect? *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Monday, October 29, 2007 12:23 AM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] How do I pause My movie changes states when the user hits a button, but I want it to pause for 5 seconds.

If you really want to lock up your app for 5 seconds, do this: Var t:int = getTimer() + 5000; While (getTimer t); From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 11:48 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] How do I pause There no example of how to make a pause effect in actionscript here http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/effects/Pause.html http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/effects/Pause.html so I am pretty much at a loss on how to proceed.
