Flash 6
clearInterval(intervalID)
Arguments
intervalID An integer interval identifier returned by an earlier call to setInterval().
Description
The setInterval() and clearInterval() functions are used to create and destroy intervals,
which execute a specified function or object method periodically. An interval is created by
calling setInterval(), which returns a unique identifier that can later be passed to
clearInterval() to halt the interval. An interval can be cleared either inside or outside of the
executing interval function.
For examples and further details, see setInterval().
Usage
There is no JavaScript-style setTimeout() function in ActionScript. To emulate setTimeout(),
create an interval function that clears itself the first time it runs, as shown under the
Example for setInterval().
