iOS Timer Problem - Best practice?

Hey there,

I'm using a global "idle timer" and for some reason, after the app is started the first time the timer event is launched it will launch dozens of times.

After 1..2 regular events all becomes normal. Any idea or tips?

Using AIR SDK 2.7

Best,

Cedric

Hello,

I wrote this workaround for Timer et setTimeOut:

https://github.com/jonasmonnier/Mobilo/tree/master/src/com/mobilo/time

A Timer :

var id:int = Interval.create(method, delay, repeatCount);

A Timeout :

var id:int = Timeout.create(method, delay, params);

Examples here :

https://github.com/jonasmonnier/Mobilo/tree/master/src/test

They are all based on my Tick class to use an unique ENTER_FRAME

Hey, just in this second I was already looking at your code thanks to the previous post ;-)

Will try to implement this and thank you for your code.

Best,

Hi Cedmo55,

same problems with timer.

The timers initial call is also wrong.

I've been posting in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/865144?tstart=0

There is also a workaround.
