Tutorial: A Simple script to create a random flicker

September 26, 2007

To set this up , create a movieclip on stage and give it an instance name of myCoverUp. The script below, declares a variable on the main timeline so it can be used outside the scope of the function flicker(). Then the function flicker chooses a random number between 0-50, toggles the visibility of myCoverUp, then clears and creates a new interval timer using the random number as a delay.

var nextInterval = 100;
flickerInterval = setInterval(flicker, nextInterval);
function flicker(){

    myCoverUp._visible = !myCoverUp._visible;
    clearInterval(flickerInterval);
    flickerInterval = setInterval(flicker, nextInterval);
}
