setInterval () question

[friz2002]

Hi,

I have a .swf, when it's fully loaded I want the movie to wait 2 seconds and then load another .swf on level1

This is what I have so far

start = function(){
loadMovieNum("intro.swf",1);
}
totaal = getBytesTotal();
geladen = getBytesLoaded();
if(geladen == totaal){
setInterval(start,2000);
}

The problem is that the intro.swf keeps loading every 2 seconds, and I just want it to load once.
Any ideas?

Thx

Howdy, may not help much, but try putting a:

////////////////////

trace (totaal); trace (geladen);

////////////////////

...directly after the calls to the getBytes function and before "if" statement.

If for some reason totaal == "undefined" and geladen == "undefined", this would satisfy the if statement and therefore start loading.

Hmmm, just looked at it again, if everything is working correctly (totaal == geladen) you still have satisfied the if statement and it will load. Even after loading, you have still satisfied the if statement. How about after loading the movie you change a variable from "unloaded" to "loaded". Re condition the if statement like:


start = function(){
loadMovieNum("intro.swf",1); status = "loaded";
}
totaal = getBytesTotal();
geladen = getBytesLoaded();
if(geladen == totaal && status != "loaded") {
setInterval(start,2000);
}



Hehe, long-winded but might work! ;)

If I were you I load the Movie and check if laoded with
onData.
Then if _totalBytes == _bytesLoaded
then I do a pause.

Look for it into the forum. Someone found a good solution for this pb.

The way given by cheez might not work. Why?
Because a setInterval when init call the function every 2000 (here). To delete it you have to do something like this:

start = function(){
loadMovieNum("intro.swf",1);
clearInterval(MyID);
}
totaal = getBytesTotal();
geladen = getBytesLoaded();
if(geladen == totaal){
MyID = setInterval(start,2000);
}


But this script doesn't work for your project. As I said, look for pause in the forum...

Thx for the replies cheez and xxlm :)

xxlm, this script actually did work for my project :D

start = function(){
loadMovieNum("intro.swf",1);
clearInterval(MyID);
}
totaal = getBytesTotal();
geladen = getBytesLoaded();
if(geladen == totaal){
MyID = setInterval(start,2000);
}


I knew someone asked something like this before and I did a search before I posted, but couldn't find it. I'll try a search with "pause" for other posibilities

:) :p :D

Hehe, I think I trust XXLM before me!

I learn something too as well...:)

Thanks,
