Interval

[fspaiva]

I want to clear the "message" text after of 5 sec of the url has been loaded, how do I do?


on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (login == "test" & password == "test") {
message = "Wait a moment...";
getURL("http://www.kirupa.com", "_blank");
**interval of 5 sec**
message = "";
} else {
message = "Wrong password";
}
}

im not 100% sure but maybe this will work


on (release, keyPress "") {
if (login == "test" & password == "test") {
getURL("http://www.kirupa.com", "_blank");
pTime=getTimer();
while(!time){
nTime=getTimer();
message = "Wait a moment...";
if(nTime-pTime>5000){
message = "";
time=true;
}
}
} else {
message = "Wrong password";
}
}

If that doesn't work let me know.. I know I may have to work that into a function.

Thks for the code man, but not worked so fine... when I put the log/pass, the movie stucks, and the message "Wait" doesn't appear. After 5 sec, all fields are clear.

hey, I've always wondered about that... is there a setInterval command in AS?

hi,

the eassiest way is use setIntervel()
it is a new feature of MX

And how the setInterval() function works, in this case?

[kode]

in the button

on (release, key press "") {
if (login == "test" && password == "test") {
message = "Wait a moment...";
getURL("http://kirupa.com", "_blank");
clearMessageInterval = setInterval(clearMessage, 5000);
} else {
message = "Wrong password";
}
}
the function

clearMessage = function() {
message = "";
clearInterval(clearMessageInterval);
}
or something along those lines .. :sigh: :P

you can use setTimeout which can be found at the bottom here:
http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/flash/tutorials/setInterval.php

its setInterval that doesnt repeat (like setTimeout for javascript)
Declare the setTimeout function in the first frame of the movie then use


on (release, key press "") {
if (login == "test" && password == "test") {
message = "Wait a moment...";
getURL("http://kirupa.com", "_blank");
setTimeout(function(){message=""}, 5000);
}else message = "Wrong password";
}


NOTE: this is pretty much what KAX's version does (which should work dandy), just using the setTimeout version of setInterval which is nice to have for future reference in similar situations
