Hi guys,

Does anyone have any idea why I can’t stop the interval  
inside the class I created?

```auto

class drawClass extends MovieClip {
    
        private var sPointx:Number;
    private var sPointy:Number;
    private var ePointx:Number;
    private var ePointy:Number;
    private var pieceNo:Number = 1;
    private var currentPart:String;
    private var nameIt:String;
    private var nTimes:Number;
    private var line:MovieClip;
    
  

    static var emptyClip:Number = 0;
    private function init() {
        sPointx = this._x;
        sPointy = this._y;
        
    }
    private function startDrawing(stopIt:Number) {
        
        nTimes= setInterval(this, "drawing", 1);
        
    }
    private function stopDrawing() {
        
        clearInterval(this.nTimes);
        
    }
    private function drawing() {
        ePointx = this._x;
        ePointy = this._y;
        if (pieceNo == 1) {
            emptyClip++;
            currentPart = emptyClip+"part"+emptyClip;
line=_root.createEmptyMovieClip(currentPart,_root.getNextHighestDepth());                                         
            line.lineStyle(0, 0x0066cc, 100);
            
            line.moveTo(sPointx, sPointy);
            
        }
               line.lineTo(ePointx, ePointy);
        
        sPointx = ePointx;
        sPointy = ePointy;
        pieceNo++;
        
        
        
            
            
        
    }

    
}

```

I really don’t understand why the interval is not cleared when I  
call the function which stops the interval

[“movieclip”].stopDrawing();
