Question

I want to change the text in the Alert on timer tick, but nothing changes, see example below:

private var alert:Alert;
private var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 0);

private function init(){
   timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerTick);
   timer.start();
   alert = Alert.show("Logout in "+ 60 +" seconds","",3);
}       

private function onTimerTick(event:TimerEvent):void{
   alert.text = "Logout in "+(60-timer.currentCount)+" seconds";
}

P.S. Title is overridden by this way.

Thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

private var uiText:UITextField;

private function init():void{
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerTick);
    timer.start();
    alert = Alert.show("Logout in "+ 60 +" seconds","",3);
    var child:DisplayObjectContainer = alert.getChildAt(0) as DisplayObjectContainer;
    uiText = child.getChildAt(0) as UITextField;
    uiText.text;

}       

private function onTimerTick(event:TimerEvent):void{
    (timer.currentCount > 60) ? [timer.stop(), alert.parent.removeChild(alert)] : void;
    uiText.text = "Logout in "+(60-timer.currentCount).toString()+" seconds";
}

Do some thing like this will help.
