Re: [flexcoders] Timer running fast in Firefox than in IE with same time interval?

[Jamie S]

I've run into the same problem recently while trying to make a timer
for a video player. Timer is not accurate at all and can vary greatly
depending on the interval. I agree with Fredreico, the ENTER_FRAME
event is far more reliable at producing accurate time intervals.

The Timer is not exact, especially if fired on small intervals. If the 
VM is not able to execute the code it jumps (like flash jumpes frames).
If you are trying to emulate the time frame Timer is not the best method.

Instead create a class extending MovieClip and use onEnterFrame... 
something like this:

public class Effect extends MovieClip {
private var _currentFrame:uint = 0;
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
_currentFrame++;

//ADD YOUR CODE HERE
}
public function start():void {
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
}
   
public function end():void {
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
}
}

Hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Timer running fast in Firefox than in IE with same time interval?

[arpan srivastava]

Hi All,

I have a list with many items which moves automatically by using a timer. 
Timer is set to 10 ms i.e. after every 10 ms second it fires an event which 
moves the items in the list by some distance. In IE it runs fine but in Firefox 
it runs very fast, i am not getting how can a timer change it's time in firfox.

thanks
arpan
