Question

My text animation works perfectly, but doesn’t repeat. How do I get this to repeat?
Sorry I don’t know Flash that well, but I just want this to play over and over. Thanks.

var myArray:Array = ["Big",
                     "Holiday",
                     "Sale",
                     "Buy",
                     "Now",
                     "And",
                     "Save"];
Timer
var tm:Timer = new Timer(500,0);
tm.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
function countdown(event:TimerEvent) {
if (myArray.length>0){
tx.text = myArray.shift();
}
}
tm.start();

I tried this

if (++myArray.length % 10 == 0)

Answer 1

simple solution:

myArray.push(tx.text = myArray.shift());

but sharvey’s solution is signifficantly better. it’d work like this:

var myArray:Array = ["Big",
                     "Holiday",
                     "Sale",
                     "Buy",
                     "Now",
                     "And",
                     "Save"];
var tm:Timer = new Timer(500,0);
var index:int = 0;
tm.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown);
function countdown(event:TimerEvent) {
    tx.text = myArray[index];
    index = (index + 1) % myArray.length;//increment and "wrap around"
}
tm.start();
