Can I have more than 1 timer?

@42OldsJan 01.2006

I need to run two cycles – at different speeds. Is there a way to set up 2 or more timers in javascript?

O.

K.

Care to elaborate?

@rickqinJan 01.2006 — #i don't know why you need to set two timer? i think one timer is just like a timeseed. you can do some calculation with the standard timer's value, and then, you will get two different time.

i'm from china, i can't express my thought exactly, if you can understand me?

Yes, well enough.

I think I understand what you mean, and I could go that way - but I'm looking for alternitives first. I need to run 2 independent processes, each not aware of the other, and would like to keep it as simple as possible.

Thanks.

 alert("This is run every second.");

 function thread2() {
 alert("This is run every two and a half seconds.");
 }
 
 t1 = setInterval(1000, "thread1();"); // run one thread every second
 t2 = setInterval(2500, "thread2();"); // run other thread every 2.5 seconds
 
 setTimeout(12000, "clearInterval(t1); clearInterval(t2);"); // after 12 seconds stop both from executing

OK, thanks - that'll work.

I also found some more info at http://www.devshed.com/c/a/JavaScript/Using-Timers-in-JavaScript/2/

Thanks for the help the program is running circles around itself, just as it should. Great way to start off the new year!
