Question

Here is the code I am using:

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

//Pausing the timeline
function wait(){
    stop();
    var timer:Timer=new Timer(2000,1);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,waitdone);
    timer.start();
}
function waitdone(e:TimerEvent){
    e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,waitdone);
    play();
}

When I call the following function, it pauses for 2 seconds, easy. What I can’t figure out to do is call wait(); and add another second onto it to get 3 seconds rather than two.

Is there an easy way of doing this?

Answer 1

You mean like this?

function wait(numberOfSeconds:int){
    stop();
    var timer:Timer=new Timer(numberOfSeconds * 1000);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,waitdone);
    timer.start();
}

Then you call it using wait(2) or wait(3) depending on how many seconds you want.
