multiple array objects

[A-Genius]

Any one know a way to delay multiple array objects from being added into my contsiner at the same time using as3?! I failed to use the timer to it, any idea ?

Add the item to the array in the TimerEvent.TIMER handler function.

Post your code, and point out where the problem is, using code comments //

I want my to execute the code inside my class but I think using setInterval(); was a bad idea

var i:Number =0;
var m1:Array = [new monster1()];
var MyTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000,8);

MyTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,TimerFunction);

//the function increment and decrement the y and x in the path I have created it for it
function td():void{
m1[i].mapPattern();
}

function TimerFunction(e:TimerEvent):void{

for(i=0; i<m1.length; i++){
enemy_contain_mc.addChild(m1[i]);

//doesn't work
setInterval(td,1);
}
// doesn't work

}

MyTimer.start();

You don't need setInterval, you already wrote out everything you need. Just push() the new thing into the array inside the timer function. The timer function IS your interval-setter.

I have created this code but it works only for 2 objects

var i:Number =0;
var m1:Array = [new monster1(),new monster1()]

var addObj:Number = 21;
var MyTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000,1);
var MyTimer_2:Timer = new Timer(1,2000);
var MyTimer_3:Timer = new Timer (1,2000);

MyTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,TimerFunction);

function Timer2Function(e:TimerEvent):void{
	MyTimer_3.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,Timer3Function);
	m1[i- m1.length + 1].mapPattern();
	
	if(m1[i-m1.length + 1].x == 70){
	MyTimer_3.start();
   	}
}

function Timer3Function(e:TimerEvent):void{
	m1[i- m1.length].mapPattern();
}

function TimerFunction(e:TimerEvent):void{
MyTimer_2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,Timer2Function);


for(i=0; i<m1.length; i++){
enemy_contain_mc.addChild(m1[i]);
}

MyTimer_2.start();


}

MyTimer.start();

I don't think you understand what a timer does. Every 2 seconds your timer function runs. You want to add a new monster every 2 seconds. So add a new monster inside your timer function. The array starts out empty since you want to add things to it every 2 seconds.

array = [];
timer = new Timer(2000, 8);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerFunction);

function timerFunction(e:TimerEvent):void {
     array.push(new Monster());
}

array.push(new Monster());
}

OK now I understood the function better!
