Where is "setTimeout" from JavaScript in Haxe?
In case you're using the kha framework:
Kha modifies haxe.Timer
to call kha.Scheduler
, which in the end doesn't get the timestamps
via setTimeout
- it gets these via requestAnimationFrame()
.
This seems to not work while a tab is inactive, so it's not the same function while the tab is inactive.
I'm attempting a workaround, but at the moment, it doesn't give the same result as a native setTimeout()
-JS does (although I found a workaround which I'll present for inclusion).
For a one-shot execution I think that Timer.delay()
is perfect. You can use the returned instance to stop the timer later:
var timer = haxe.Timer.delay(function() trace("Hello World!"), 250);
...
timer.stop();
You could also access the native setTimeout()
with the js.html.Window
extern:
var handle = js.Browser.window.setTimeout(function() trace("Hello World!"), 250);
...
js.Browser.window.clearTimeout(handle);
