How to can I reference a timer?

[simo]

Its easy to implement a timed call with Actuate like this:

Actuate.timer (1).onComplete (trace, "Hello World!");

But, what if I want to manage the created timer later, lets say stop it or pause it .. etc
How can I reference the timer above? is it possible to have multiple timers?

Try this:

<code>

var timer = Actuate.timer (1).onComplete (trace, "Hello World!");

Actuate.stop(timer);

</code>

I will test it when I go home, is this a guess? or you've already tried it?

This what I used after several trials and errors:

var _timerActuator:GenericActuator = cast Actuate.timer(1).onComplete(secondPassed);

and when I wanted to stop it  I used

_timerActuator.onComplete(null);

_timerActuator.stop(null,false, false);

I don't know if this is the best way to do it but it worked.

Thank you! I found another way too:

Actuate.tween(tweenTarget, time, {} ).onComplete(aHandler);

Actuate.stop(tweenTarget, null, false, false);

notice the empty properties object {}
