Timer working but not working
Posted on November 23rd, 2008 by jane
I have a timer in an include file called A5SecTimer.as
Code:
//A FIVE SECOND TIMER THAT GOES TO THE NEXT FRAME
function A5SecTimer(){
setTimeout(this, "gotoAndPlay", 5000, nextFrame());
}
A5SecTimer();
In my movie i reference the file in frame one of my movie as such
#include "A5SecTimer.as"
This works great, goes to the next frame but, when I include a new timer in the second frame
Code:
//A TWO SECOND TIMER THAT GOES TO THE NEXT FRAME
function A2SecTimer(){
setTimeout(this, "gotoAndStop", 2000, nextFrame());
}
A2SecTimer();
The movie skips the second frame and goes to the third.
This is what I'm trying to accomplish:
-Fade in movie clip while movie is paused for 5 seconds
-go to the next frame
-Fade the movie clip while movie is paused for 5 seconds
-go to next frame and stop.
I hope this isn't too confusing to understand.
BOOYAKASHA!

function A5SecTimer() {
setTimeout(this, "gotoAndStop", 5000, this._currentframe + 1);
}
A5SecTimer();
//
function A2SecTimer() {
setTimeout(this, "gotoAndStop", 2000, this._currentframe + 1);
}
A2SecTimer();
