[RESOLVED] Automatically goto next frame for slideshow

Hi,

I'm trying to advance to the next frame after 3 seconds on my timeline using actionscript 3. Is there a way to do this? I have 1 image per frame on my timeline.

Thank you,

Bill

You can use the Timer class. Have an event that advances to the next frame every three seconds

@samac1068 Thanks! I found this timer class online but don't really know how to implement it (I'm a beginner). How can I modify this to advance to the next frame?

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1); // 1 second
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, runOnce);
myTimer.start();

function runOnce(event:TimerEvent):void {
trace("runOnce() called @ " + getTimer() + " ms");
}

actionscript Code:

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(3000);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, threeSec);
myTimer.start();

function threeSec(event:TimerEvent):void 
{
   this.nextFrame();
}

Just need to add the command within the function for the Timer. As long as the layer extends the length of the timeline then you should be good.

Thanks again
