Timer

[rogkarlsson]

How can I stop on a frame for 5 sec and then continue?

Can someone give me the code and explain?

Tnx!

Hi!

I'm about to do something like this VERY SOON and I intend to use the link below as a guide:

http://actionscript.org/tutorials/in...ts/index.shtml

Check it out and let me know if it helps.

I found what is was looking for at http://www.actionscript.org, and this code works fine.

If you don't get your link to work try this:

start = getTimer();
while (start+5000>now) {
now = getTimer();
}

I'm not so good at this... but tnx for the answer!

this code:

start = getTimer();
while (start+5000>now) {
now = getTimer();
}

.....is a problem
flash executes this loop so fast that it generates an error message in the player since it thinks it is in an 'endless' loop.....even for a 1 sec interval

not a good solution for 'delay' routine
sticking this code in a onClipEvent(enterframe) event will work better since it only checks it....say.....12 times per sec
