Answer 1

User a Timer to dispatcher your event every 5 seconds.

Answer 2

It is working now. This is the way i dispatch the event with time interval.

         private var timer:Timer; 

            private function getChart():void
        {
    var chartEvent:ChartEvent=new ChartEvent();

                chartEvent.dispatch();

        }


         private function setTimer():void {
            timer = new Timer(5000);

            timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
            timer.start();
             CursorManager.showCursor();

         }

        private function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
            Alert.show("in");

            getChart();

            Alert.show("Dispatching Event:--->");

        }
