Flash Tutorial - Delays, Timers & Stop Watches

Free Flash Tutorial

Delays, Timers & Stop Watches: In this tutorial you will learn how to delay an action for a set amount of time using ActionScript and to get something to repeat. This is extremely useful in two ways. In enables you to set delays so that a particular action or event will only happen after a certain amount of time has lapsed. This ActionScript lets you set up events that will repeat a set intervals. The ActionScript used to achieve this is very simple. This code has lots of uses and in the examples below I show you how build a Digital Timer and an Analog Stop Watch.

Example of using setInterval to create a Analog Stop Watch. More about this later.
