Hi,

My flash is simple, I just have to alpha in and out pictures having setinterval() as their delays.

my problem is, the movieclip exported into .swf should be loaded wihtin a .swf files with is mainly the control for the clips using buttons on releases then loadMovieNum x.swf level 10.

now, everything works fine except the setinetrval() how do I make it right?

mycode:

stop();
var interval:Number = setInterval(function () {
play();
clearInterval(interval);
}, 7000);

to delay it 7 seconds. the .swf itself works and delays for 7 seconds but after it has been loaded inside a .swf, the intervals are gone.

please help me. Thanks!

hi sir,

in every 7000ms, pictures alpha in, after 7000ms, it alpha outs while another picture alpha in on the same coordinates. it was named rightmovie.swf, the leftmovie.swf does also the same. It all works fine now. Maybe its the cache that make it not work earlier.

I tried opening it on another computer and it works. Thanks!

what is it that you want to occur every 7000ms and what does that have to do with your _level10 and _level11 swfs?

hi, it doesn't fully work. I'll explain the flash a littel further:

first i have a control swf named "main.swf" it is embedded in a html. then the main.swf have buttons. for every button that is pressed 2 movies will actually be loaded. 1 in the left side of the main.swf, 2 on the right side of it. at levels 10, and 11 respectively.

so when button "movie1" was pressed the actionscript on release will execute.

on realese, loadMovieNum("leftmovie1.swf", 10);
loadMovieNum("rightmovie1.swf, 11);

sometimes the intervals are ok and sometimes it doesn't. I already double checked that I pasted your code. Thanks!

don't use the play() function, use the play() method with the correct movieclip reference:
