Delaying script execution inside a function ...

[aktell]

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

click="saveRunSetMsgOne(event)"

<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
