delay code?

[behmat]

how we can use a delay code for keyframes or functions?
for ex. wait 3s in some frame or do some function after 3s?

setInterval or setTimeout.

You could just have a movieclip that constantly adds to a counter on the root and when the counter reaches a certain number, then the function starts.

Wonder what setinterval and setTimeout are if not basically counters! :rolleyes:

[cjx3711]

alright, fine. They are counters, but I have had bad experiences with them and I prefer the other method. I find it more reliable. :)

Why don't just use a var that constantly adds to itself using an onEnterFrame, instead of putting the code into an Mc and what not? ;)

[behmat]

why this code dosen't work properly?

on (keyPress "a") {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+130);
}
i become so confuse cause in one project this code is work good but in the other one dosen't

Is your code on a button? Also, ensure that you are referring to the correct timeline, maybe you meant this._parent.gotoAndPlay()

[behmat]

when i trace the code, we have no connection with keyboard
what happened?

[kkbbcute]

Are there any compiler errors? I think you placed the code at the wrong place.
