Timer alert - FIX

Question

I have a timer alert:

private var cheat:Timer;

private function init():void {
    cheat = new Timer(2000, 1);
    cheat.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, cheatProtection);
}

private function showAlert():void {
    cheat.reset();
    cheat.start();
}
private function alrt_close(evt:CloseEvent):void {
    cheat.stop();
}

private function cheatProtection(evt:TimerEvent):void {
    Alert.show("Text", "Label", Alert.OK, this, alrt_close);
}

So what I do is I call out showAlert(), but Alert (cheatProtection function) does not happen. What is wrong?

Thanks, Yan

Answer 1

Don't know, if this helps, but in the Adobe Flex documentation the TimerEvent listener is added after start() is called.

Answer 2

should be:

private var cheat:Timer;

private function init():void {
    cheat = new Timer(2000, 1);
    cheat.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, cheatProtection);
    cheat.start();
}

private function showAlert():void {
    cheat.reset();
    cheat.start();
}
private function alrt_close(evt:CloseEvent):void {
    cheat.stop();
}

private function cheatProtection(evt:TimerEvent):void {
    Alert.show("Text", "Label", Alert.OK, this, alrt_close);
}
init();
