Displaying next record in actionscript
I have built a flash program using the one on this web site
http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/010605.htm as a base and I am not very knowledge on action scripting to make it do what I am looking to do. Right now to navigate there is a forward buttons which will bring up the next record up, but I would like it to after a set time display the next record by itself. I tried the code shown here which is the best i been able to come up with. I am not sure if I am on the right track on not, any help would be appreciated.

function myfunction() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
CurrentRecord++;
if (CurrentRecord == TotalRecords) {
CurrentRecord = 0;
}
loadVariables("getdetails.asp?Record="+(CurrentRecord), this);
}
myInterval = setInterval(myfunction, 6000);

Your timing Function is working fine on its own.
the problem must be at some other point.

it seem to work now if i publish it using flash version 6, but i lose some of my html i have in my program, and if i publish in version 8 i gain my html stuff but lose the timing part
i am not sure where the problem is coming from my skill in asp is limited at best.
do you have to use asp. would you consider useing xml for you importing of data.

i know asp that why i am using it, and also i need it for the back end stuff i can create. The asp part of the flash works fine. Only problem really is that this one scirpt will not work when i publish it anything other then flash 6, and i need to publish it in flash 7 or 8
ok i understand.
if another experts does not come up with anything to help you. the following is what i did when i needed a timer when i could not use action script very well.
1. i would create a moveClip off stage and call it timer.(timer_mc)
2. i would extend that timeline within that movie clip to reflect the length of time i needed per intervals(lets say 6 sec)
3. i would place the code i would want to be execute at the last frame of the time line
4. when i wanted the time loop to start i would just have the movie clip play(); and every time it reaches to the last frame the script would run.
5. if i needed the timer to stop i would just type TimerClip gotoAndStop(1);
its not script but it works
do you understand what i mean?

I have figured out that the script has been working, but not correctly. In flash 6 it will return 1,2,3,4,5 as it should, but in flash 7 and above it returns, 1,NAN,NAN,NAN,NAN. I have tried what u suggected with the movie clip and it still does the same thing, so maybe this is another problem?
Yea i would say it is. because 2 timing events cant be wrong considering the first one was ok.
i would advise that you ask another question targeting the asp aspect of your program. and
include asp as one of the zones it will show up on
Good Luck
