Constructor detail
AbstractImpulser()constructor
public function AbstractImpulser(delay:uint, repeats:Boolean = true)

Constructs AbstractImpulser.

Parameters
delay:uint
 
repeats:Boolean (default = true)

Throws
— when init delay <= 0 or delay == null
Method detail
addActionListener()method
public function addActionListener(listener:Function, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void

Adds an action listener to the AbstractImpulser instance.

Parameters
listener:Function — the listener
 
priority:int (default = 0) — the priority
 
useWeakReference:Boolean (default = false) — Determines whether the reference to the listener is strong or weak.

restart()method 
public function restart():void
setDelay()method 
public function setDelay(delay:uint):void

Sets the AbstractImpulser's delay between fired events.

Parameters
delay:uint — the delay

Throws
— when set delay <= 0 or delay == null

See also

setInitialDelay()
setInitialDelay()method 
public function setInitialDelay(initialDelay:uint):void

Sets the AbstractImpulser's initial delay, which by default is the same as the between-event delay. This is used only for the first action event. Subsequent events are spaced using the delay property.

Parameters
initialDelay:uint — the delay between the invocation of the start method and the first event fired by this impulser

Throws
— when set initialDelay <= 0 or initialDelay == null

See also

setDelay()
setRepeats()method 
public function setRepeats(flag:Boolean):void

If flag is false, instructs the AbstractImpulser to send only once action event to its listeners after a start.

Parameters
flag:Boolean — specify false to make the impulser stop after sending its first action event. Default value is true.
