Delaying script execution inside a function ...

Hi there,

I'm in need of delaying the execution of the code in a function (or function call) writing to a .txt file by about 1 to 2 seconds as the code 'As Is' is reading and writing not the very last value on a click of a button from a text Input box, but always the second to last value.

Any ideas would be appriciated! thanks in advance aktell

Code:

---

click="saveRunSetMsgOne(event)"

---

Code:

---

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
protected function saveRunSetMsgOne(event:Event):void { 

    var localFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(".... /.... .txt");

    var localFileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); 

    localFileStream.open(localFile, FileMode.APPEND);
    localFileStream.writeMultiByte(Running:  + runSet1txt.text +  at  + runSet1dT.text, utf-8); 
    localFileStream.close();
}
]]>
 </mx:Script>

You can have the click call timeout or have it call another function with a timeout inside.

setTimeout(function,3000); // 3000ms = 3 secs

Thanks very much is working perfectly !!! Just have to think of it. regards aktell
