Hi,

wondering if anyone has insights into the 3rd approach, with which I got a very different effect than with the other 2.

I've been trying to understand setInterval better so I was happy to see Jim was giving an example. I've read some of his posts on other stuff, & looked at KrazyDad - all great.

I'm not having any luck, though, with the setInterval example. I'm copying and pasting it to a mc containing 5 different frames - the same mc that works with the other approaches. With the setInterval approach, it races randomly through the frames for 5 seconds....

Wondering if anyone can explain how to make setInterval behave the same as the other 2. I'm imagining it will give me a better understanding of what's going on than even just seeing a working one.
