Flash Advanced Techniques using settimeout

Advanced | Tips in Flash 8 There is a function in the Help document is not, do not know whether it is deliberate or negligence, recently mentioned just think of it. And this settimeout function is similar to our usual setinterval can specify delay time execution, but does not loop like setinterval. So here's a cursory reminder, and the detailed instructions refer to the setinterval in the Help document.
settimeout (function name, delay time, parameter)
Example
function Showtext (param:string) {
Trace (param);
}
OnMouseDown = function () {
settimeout (Showtext, ' Super-tomato ');
}
As 2.0 class
Class Test {
Public Function Test () {
Init ();
}
Private Function init () {
var this:object = this;
_root.onmousedown = function () {
_global.settimeout (This.showtext, ' Super-tomato ');
};
}
Private Function Showtext (param:string) {
Trace (param);
}
Use cleartimeout if you want to cancel execution before settimeout is executed.
