Hi Dave,
Looks like your questions have already been answered. Quite
right. I just
want to make a point about clearInterval:
You want to avoid creating 'orphaned' interval ids.
An interval will continue to run endlessly until it is
cleared.
Each time you assign a variable like 'id' to a setInterval
Flash will give
it a numeric value like 1 then 2 then 3 and so on. If you
call setInterval
repeatedly, and assign it to the same id variable, then id
will be
overwritten with the latest value, but if the previous id
values have not
been cleared they will continue to run!
Therefore:
It is considered best practice to call clearInterval(id) on
any id just
before assigning it with a setinterval call.
Regards,
-Keith
