[AS2] Random MC ("enemys") pop up help

[hahaitwork]

Ehm, just woundering.. Dont know how the language for "air" is, but would that AS u wrote for the flash work for Air? or is it only As2 ? and AS3 (?)

[neilmmm]

The code I wrote is as2 and would need to be changed for as3

I have no experience with air I suggest you start a new thread for that question

If you do not understand any of the code ask. It is an excellent learning project. A nice one to add sound to for instance. You need to work out how to stop and reset perhaps have a timer going.

Okey I have understood almost everything in the code and it worked prefectly.
I got one question thought:
function mover() {
ran = Math.floor(Math.random()*5);
mc_array[ran].play();
setTimeout(mover, 1000);

}
counter.text = counter;
setTimeout(mover, 500);

I see the "setTimeout(mover, 1000);" speeds up how fast they pop up etc, BUT what is "setTimeout(mover, 500);" doing?

[neilmmm]

setTimeout(mover, 500);

setTimeout is like setInteval but is called only once

so setTimeout calls the function mover in 500/1000 sec (ie 1/2 a sec) later. it is a short delay before the first one pops up. afeter that i call it every 1000/1000 sec (ie a second later) to get the next one up.

Ahha.. I see

Runned into another "problem" now, sorry about all this but I like to use the people that can help me when I got the chance!

Im using this code:
timer = 30
fcountdown = function () {
timer -= 1
if (timer<=0)
gotoAndStop(3);

}
myInterval = setInterval(fcountdown, 1000)

And it works perfectly because when it hits 0 it go to frame 3 as I want, BUT
when i press the button to restart the game, it go down -2 at a time, like I have started it twice.. and if I dont change frame it will keep going to -1, -2, -3 etc.
So I need this to stop at 0 and then restart when it come to frame 2 in the game.

Sorry for bad explain, its really late and I just wanted to post it before I went to bed.
Good night, and thanks!
