as2 problemo... pls help... how to limit users clicks

[Leo75]

Hi there...
I am trying to limit the amount of clicks that i will receive by, maximum, one click per second.
How could I limit the interaction of the user to just one click per second?

Lets say, just ONE move to the left per second and NO more than that.

Thanks,
Cheers.
Leo.

make a setTimeout on every mouse click to switch a boolean:

var canClick:Boolean = true;
function mouseClicked() {
    // PUT YOUR CODE HERE
}
function switchCanClick() {
    canClick = true;
}
onMouseDown = function() {
    if(canClick) {
        mouseClicked();
        canClick = false;
        setTimeout(switchCanClick, 1000);
    }
};
