hi,
i know how to loop a function using a timer, however i can't break the loop.
simply im trying to achieve
something happens
wait 0.1 sec
....
and after a second the loop breaks.
Thanks in advance.
....just to add - the 'something happens' is something different each time.
you can't use a for, do or while loop. use a timer loop:
var t:Timer=new Timer(100,0);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,f);
t.start();
function f(e:TimerEvent):void{
// do whatever
}
so that would set the first //do whatever at 0.1 secs
how would i alter the //do whatever for each increment.
otherwise the same function will run at each step.
what are you trying to do?
I am trying to create a shake effect, so the movieclip shakes on the y axis each .1 second for a second.
you can use the currentCount property of your timer:
var shakeAmplitude:int = 3;var t:Timer=new Timer(100,0);t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,f);t.start();function f(e:TimerEvent):void{mc.y+=shakeAmplitude*(2*(e.target.currentCount%2)-1);}
var shakeAmplitude:int = 3;
mc.y+=shakeAmplitude*(2*(e.target.currentCount%2)-1);
