• Synchronous SetInterval for AMC (Also works in Flash Lite)
  • Kirk Ballou 
  •  October 20, 2008
  • Avg. rating 3.67
  
  

  Problem

  In AMC the setInterval command is Asynchronous and you may prefer Synchronous in your code for performance and the ability to add logic to the interval. For example: 5 seconds before a interval is triggered a developer can add logic to check that net connection is active.

  Solution

  Create a custom SetInterval script to meet the needs of your application. Be sure to limit use and not have several intervals running at once.

  Problem

  Functions are not supported in Flash Lite 1.1, since Flash Lite 1.1 is Flash 4 style syntax and does not support ActionScript 2.0 as in Flash Lite 2.x and above.

  Solution

  Pseudo functions can be created by utilizing the call() statement to invoke frame labels contained in a non visible off stage movieclip. This movieclip is known as a "function clip" in the Flash (Lite) community.
