setInterval have enabled/disabled property?

[rds747]

Does the setInterval have a timer enabled/disabled property?

I have a setinterval on a function that moves a movieclip along the y-axis and once it gets to its destination I have a clearInterval. And until the MC gets to its destination point, I have the visibility set to false and once it does I set its visibility to true. However, there are times when the MC at its destination point appears visible and other times that it isn't.

My co-worker thinks it could be that other setIntervals are affecting the setInterval that I'm having a problem with and thats why I'm getting the random visibility of the MC.

If someone could please advise me on how I can debug this problem.

Thanks!

Do you have many other setIntervals? Are you clearing them?

Yes, I have several other setIntervals, but the button I have triggers only the setInterval that moves the MC along the y-axis.

each time I stepped through the function that has the setInterval, everything worked accordingly. The MC moved along the y-axis and was visible at its destination pt.

If I have all my setIntervals in individual functions and when the movie loads I don't call any of these functions, the setIntervals shouldn't play automatically, correct?
