I have the following code attached to the root and to the button that is meant
to make a slideshow. When clicked it should go, which it does. When clicked
again it should stop, which it doesn't. Instead it acts like a next button and
skips a page, but continues playing. Also I would like it to loop. Please tell
me what I am doing wrong.
on(press){
nextPage = _root.myBook.rightPageNumber
clearInterval(intervalID);
intervalID = setInterval(updateTimer, 2000);
updateTimer();
}
function updateTimer():Void {
nextPage++;
_root.myBook.gotoPage(nextPage);
if(nextPage >= _root.myBook.totalPages - 1){
clearInterval(intervalID);
}
} |

if by, "it should stop", you mean your setInterval() loop should terminate, use
a toggle boolean in your button's press handler:
on(press){
if(!this.toggle){
nextPage = _root.myBook.rightPageNumber
clearInterval(intervalID);
intervalID = setInterval(updateTimer, 2000);
updateTimer();
} else {
clearInterval(intervalID);
}
this.toggle = !this.toggle;
} |

| Thanks, that works great! How do I get it to loop though? So after the last one it goes back to the first. |

| in updateTimer(), in your if-statement, remove that clearInterval() and reinitialize nextPage. |

like this?
function updateTimer():Void {
nextPage++;
_root.myBook.gotoPage(nextPage);
if(nextPage >= _root.myBook.totalPages - 1){
nextPage;
}
} |
