Javascript Timers on two slides interfering with each other

Hello,

I am developing training gamification and I have a Javascript Timer embedded in Slide 8 and one on Slide 12. The timer on slide 8 seems to interfere with Slide 12s if I get to slide 12 too early. Is there a way to stop all javascript executing on slide 8 once I exit slide 8 on success of a drag and drop?

Thanks,

Jay

It all depends on how the timer is constructed. You should be able to use clearInterval() if the timer is constructed with setInterval.

Added clearInterval command in if statement....but 2nd timer doesn't work well (goes too fast) when done with first script and timer keeps going seems to make 2nd timer mess up. The CLearInterval didn't seem to stop the first timer from making second timer go too fast.

Thanks

var duration =20 * 1;

var decrementer= duration;

var minutes;

var seconds;

var displayMe;

var countdown = setInterval(updateMessage, 1000);

function updateMessage() {

//The 10 specifies the radix

minutes = parseInt(decrementer / 60, 10);

seconds = parseInt(decrementer % 60, 10);

//Formatting ..

minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;

seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;

displayMe = 0 + ":" +seconds;

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue('captivateTimer',displayMe);

decrementer = decrementer-1;

if (decrementer< 0) {

clearInterval(countdown);

var currentSlide=window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue('cpInfoCurrentSlide');

if(currentSlide==9){

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue('cpCmndGotoSlide',10);

}

if(currentSlide>9){clearInterval(0)};

}

function getRandomInt (min,max) {

var jsRandomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1))+min;

//alert(jsRandomNumber);

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue('visitorScore',jsRandomNumber);

//alert('in getRandomInt');

}

getRandomInt(6,9);

Do you know if the same variable names are used in two different Javascripts, will the values get shared? That could be my problem if the variables are shared.
