Re: FLASH: Thousand of objects?

[Helen Triolo]

Oliver,


Not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll take a shot.  If you

put the assignment of new Date() to a variable inside an

onClipEvent(enterFrame) routine, it'll assign the current (new) date

value to that variable.  And if you delete the variable before assigning

a new value, you'll always start with a new variable (object) which will

have a new unique value, as in this code snippet from Branden's clock

example from http://www.figleaf.com/development/flash5/.  Doing this,

you'd end up with just one date object, not hundreds.


onClipEvent(enterFrame){

	...

	delete clipDate;

	clipDate = new Date();

}


Regards,

Helen
