Constructor Detail
TimerEvent | () | Constructor |
public function TimerEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false)| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Creates an Event object with specific information relevant to timer events.
Event objects are passed as parameters to event listeners.
type:String — The type of the event. Event listeners can access this information through the inherited type property.

override public function clone():Event| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Creates a copy of the TimerEvent object and sets each property's value to match that of the original.
ReturnsEvent — A new TimerEvent object with property values that match those of the original.
|
toString | () | method |
override public function toString():String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Returns a string that contains all the properties of the TimerEvent object. The string is in the following format:
[TimerEvent type=value bubbles=value cancelable=value]
String — A string that contains all the properties of the TimerEvent object.

updateAfterEvent | () | method |
public function updateAfterEvent():void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Instructs Flash Player or the AIR runtime to render after processing of this event completes, if the display list has been modified.
Example ( How to use this example )
The following is an example for the
TimerEvent.updateAfterEvent() method.
function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void {
if (40 < my_mc.x && my_mc.x < 375) {
my_mc.x-= 50;
} else {
my_mc.x=374;
}
event.updateAfterEvent();
}
var moveTimer:Timer=new Timer(50,250);
moveTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,onTimer);
moveTimer.start();
Constant Detail
TIMER | Constant |
public static const TIMER:String = "timer"| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Defines the value of the type property of a timer event object.
This event has the following properties:

Examples How to use this example
TimerEventExample.as
The following example uses the TimerExample class to show how a
listener method
timerHandler() can be instantiated and set to listen for a new TimerEvent
to be dispatched, which happens when the Timer's start() method is called.
package {
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class TimerEventExample extends Sprite {
public function TimerEventExample() {
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 2);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
myTimer.start();
}
public function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
trace("timerHandler: " + event);
}
}
}
