setInterval Problem

[Jim Boykin]

I have following scenario where setInterval does not fire.

On button Release Handler - Load sound -> On Complete Sound Handler ->
Create XML Socket -> On Data Handler -> setInterval(myfunction, 30000)

setInterval never fires and myfunction never gets called. However, if
I use setInterval(myfunction, 30000) from the button release handler,
it does works.


Here is AS layout

class myclass {

static var app : myclass;

// entry point
static function main(mc) {
app = new myclass();
}

...

function myfunction() {

}

}


This works fine in MMC though.

Please help.

Have you tried

setInterval(this, 'myfunction', 30000);

or

setInterval(Delegate.create(this, this.myfunction), 30000);

?

to use delegate, you need to import the delegate class. maybe it would
it would be a good idea if you post the relevant code, so we can see
where the failure might be.

If you call setInterval from your static main function, you should instead do :

static function main(mc) {
  app = new myclass();
  setInterval(app, 'myfunction', 30000); // beware that 30000 is 30 seconds !
}

This should work.

Anyway, good to know, to import delegate, add :

import mx.utils.Delegate

at the beginning of the file, and be sure to add -mx to compiler params.
