Automatic launch of JSFL

Hi,
I think, in Flash JS API there is no such functions as setTimeout(), so you can't use the standard approach with timer that executes a function periodically. But you may simulate some kind of similar behaviour, using

fl.addEventListener( "selectionChanged", yourFunc );

Because the user changes the selection frequently, this can be used as a "tick" event
in combination with a check for time elapsed. For example:

var startTime = new Date();
var myDelay = 10000; // 10 seconds

fl.addEventListener( "selectionChanged", saveFileFunc );

function saveFileFunc(){
	
   if( new Date() - startTime >= myDelay ){
	   
	   // save file
	   // .........................
	   
	   
	   // and reset the time
	   startTime = new Date();
   }
}

you can execute jsfl commands with as3.

is that what you want?

Hi.

I'm not sure if that's possible.

There some events that can be listened, like:

"documentNew", "documentOpened", "documentClosed", "mouseMove", "documentChanged", "layerChanged""timelineChanged", "frameChanged", “prePublish”, “postPublish”, “selectionChanged”, and dpiChanged.

What exactly do you need to do?
