After using the following code;
function TimedOut() {
xfa.host.messageBox("Done waiting " + xfa.form.gameform.money_game.timer.rawValue + " seconds.","Timer",3,0);
}
//prompt for number of seconds
var secondCount = xfa.host.response("Enter number of seconds", "Number of Seconds", "", "")
//start counter
if (secondCount >= 0)
//timer set for thousandths of a second
app.setTimeOut("xfa.form.gameform.money_game.start_time.TimedOut();", 1000*secondCount);
I am able to get the message to appear after an input of 8 seconds or less but no longer than that.
I tried another variation of grabbing the current time and the amount of time I wanted to wait and then executing this code(grabbing two hidden fields for the values of currentTime and timeAtClick);
xfa.form.gameform.money_game.timeAtClick.execEvent("calculate");
var endTime = parseInt(xfa.form.gameform.money_game.timeAtClick.rawValue) + parseInt(xfa.form.gameform.money_game.timer.rawValue);
var currentTime = 0
while (currentTime < endTime) {
xfa.form.gameform.money_game.currentTime.execEvent("calculate");
currentTime = parseInt(xfa.form.gameform.money_game.currentTime.rawValue);
}
xfa.host.messageBox("Done waiting " + xfa.form.gameform.money_game.timer.rawValue + " seconds.","Timer",3,0);
That works but causes the entire page to wait(lockup) until the elapsed time. That's not what I want. I want to be able to continue doing things on the form and then have a message pop up stating the alloted time has expired. Any idea?
