hello

i am doing a project which using timer to play the movieclips

is there anyway to play more then one video at the same time when the timer's listener trigger the function?

example :

var mcList :array = [ ];

mcList = [ mc1 , mc2 , m3 , mc4 , mc5, mc6 ] ; // just for an example this array used to store movieclip

var mcTimer :Timer = new Timer(1000);
mcTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, ani );
mcTimer.start();

private Function ani(e:TimerEvent):void{
/*but to play the mc1 , mc2 in 1st second
*2nd second play mc3 , mc4 , mc5
*and lasy play mc6*/
}

any idea?

I think it can be very simply achieved with a variable measuring elapsed time and a switch statement in the timer event handler:

C#

var mcList :array = [ ];

mcList = [ mc1 , mc2 , m3 , mc4 , mc5, mc6 ] ; 

var mcTimer :Timer = new Timer(1000);
mcTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, ani );
var elapsed:int=0;
mcTimer.start();

private Function ani(e:TimerEvent):void{
  switch (++elapsed) {
    case 1: // After the first second elapsed
      mc1.play();
      mc2.play();
      break;
    case 2: // After the second second elapsed
      mc3.play();
      mc4.play();
      mc5.play();
      break;
    case 3: // After the third second elapsed
      mc6.play();
      mcTimer.stop(); // Stop the timer if it is no longer needed
      break;
  }
}
