hey there,

i was wondering if someone could pls help me to code the setInterval/clearInterval functions in a cleaner way?

[AS]  
var timer:Number;  
obj = new Object();

RHArrow.onRelease = function(){  
btnSlideOut();  
bgSlideRight();  
StagesWrap.slideTo(-952, 6, 1.5,“easeOutCirc”);  
obj.interval = function() {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
getURL(‘renewal.html’,’\_self’);  
clearInterval(timer);  
}  
timer = setInterval( obj, “interval”, 1500 );  
}[/AS]

i need to apply this setInterval method to about eight other MC’s, except the gotoAndPlay and getURL will be different on each.

could an array help me here?

Thank you  
Cam
