AS2 to AS3 time function

I use to do this on AS2 code.

this.pause3Seconds = function () {
        trace(_global.something(_root.somthing));
        clearInterval(myInt);
    };
    var myInt = setInterval(this, "pause3Seconds", 3000);

Now trying to worked out this into a class.as file got all type of migration errors and warning.

So here I'm. anybody know how this can be done within a class.as AS3 way file ?

Your AS2 code doesn't actually pause the player (enterFrame listeners and mouse/key listeners will be executed during that three seconds). It just makes sure that the method pause3Seconds will be called three seconds later. You can achieve a similar functionality in AS3 using the Timer class.

var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerTick);
function onTimerTick(e:TimerEvent = null):void
{
    if(e)
    {
        trace("3 seconds completed");
        Timer(e.target).removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerTick);
    }
}

var startTime = getTimer();
while (true) 
{
   if (getTimer() - startTime >= sleepTime) 
   {
   //do something
   break;
   }
}

@Allan: That will make your flash code to throw runtime error (Script is taking longer than expected). It's always a bad idea to sleep inside a function.

@jon: This is somehwat like 'your way' solution :)

import flash.utils.*;//for setInterval and clearInterval
public class YourClass {
private var myInt:uint;
public function YourClass():void { //YourClass is the name of your class
myInt = setInterval(pause3Seconds, 3000);
}
public function pause3Seconds() {
trace("Whatever you want after 3 seconds");
clearInterval(myInt);
}
}
