Robert's Splash Widget - setTimeout - Load Delay

philippschnetzer — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:46:41 GMT

I have several things going on when my app first loads and if the user clicks the Agree button on the splash widget as quickly as possible the rest of things that are loading sometimes get messed up/repositioned...

So, I would like to put a short load delay on the splash widget to give everything enough time to load before the user enters the site....

Ive tried to include this:

setTimeout(init, 4000);

at the end of the init function but the initial splash page still loads and then an additional splash page loads every 4 seconds...

Thanks for helping!!

Phillip,

Will this work for you?:

Code for the SplashTitleWindow

protected function addButtons():void             {                 for (var i:int = 0; i < _buttons.length(); i++)                 {                     var btnURL:String = _buttons.@url;                     var btnLabel:String = _buttons.@label;                     var btnAction:String = _buttons.@action;                     var btn:Button = new Button();                     btn.label = btnLabel;                     btn.name = btnURL;                     switch (btnAction)                     {                         case "close":                         {                             btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClose);                             btn.enabled = false;                             setTimeout(enableAgree, 4000);                             function enableAgree():void{                                 Button(bGroup.getElementAt(0)).enabled = true;                             }                             break;                         }                         case "redirect":                         {                             btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnRedirect);                             break;                         }                         case "link":                         {                             btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnLink);                             break;                         }                     }                     bGroup.addElement(btn);                 }             }

Hmm... There is definitely going to be a learning curve here... You marked your own response as the answer.
