setInterval bug identified and fixed 2004-02-23 - By Edward Chan

Hello folks,
Just want to let you know that the setInterval bug has been identified and
fixed and will be available in the next patch release. The bug only affects
a multi-vhost setup.
We are currently writing up a tech note on this and should have that posted
in the near future. The work around, until you get the patch, is to do the
setInterval from the client.
For example,
Instead of doing this from the server-side script:
function displayDate()
{
trace(new Date());
}
setInterval(displayDate, 60*1000); // display date & time every minute
You can call the server-side method but on a client side timer.
Unfortunately, this means you will need to have a persistent client
connection to the app.
For example, in your client-side code:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://host/app");
function callTimer()
{
nc.call("displayDate", new onDisplayTime());
}
setInterval(callTimer(), 60*1000);
Server-side code:
function displayDate()
{
trace(new Date());
}
application.onConnect = function(client)
{
client.displayDate = function()
{
displayDate();
}
}
I haven't actually run this code, so there might be some bugs, but I think
you probably get the general idea. Basically, call the method on the
server-side that you want to be called on a timer, but do it via a client
call where the timer is on the client-side.
