Timing random stuff

1

Hi - i created a movie that gets a certain number of nodes from an xml file and places them randomly on the screen.

The only thing is, that it does them at the same time. i want them each to be placed seperatly on the stage, getting faster as the movie progresses.

I have attached the files below, how would i do this.
i want the end result to look something like this:

(not the intro with the black bg)

the xml is loacted at:
http://jobs.mindtripstudios.com/launch3/lib/countries.xml

thanks

use setInterval()… look it up in your AS reference :slight_smile:

ok - i did that and now they all come seperatly but they dont stay on the stage, how would i get them to stay on the stage.

Also, it does to many, i only want it to do the function a certain amount of times and in order to do this i put it in a for loop like this:

for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
	setInterval(printC, i+100);
}

But it doesn’t work, it happens more than 5 times.

How would i fix these two things - thanks
