Icon11 AS3 Timer Class

Timers kick the poop out of As2 methods like setInterval... It's another object that works just like the visual basic timer (tick, tick, tick) from 1 tick to infinite (user defined) at any interval speed. Here is an example of a cursor blinking using the Timer object

Code:
 package com.layeronemedia.controls {
    import flash.events.TimerEvent;
    import flash.utils.Timer;

    public class DemoScreen extends Sprite {
        private static var _textScreen:Sprite = new Sprite();
        private static var _textBox:TextField = new TextField();
        private static var _textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("HotSpotTitleFont", 13, 0x444444);
        private static var _cursor:Shape = new Shape();
        private static var _cursorBlinkTimer:Timer = new Timer(300);
        
        public static function show(stage:Stage, textboxX:int, textboxY:int, textboxHeight:int):void {
            
            with (_cursorBlinkTimer) {
                start();
            }
            
            _cursorBlinkTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onCursorTimer);
            _textScreen.addChild(_cursor);
        }
        
        
        public static function hide():void {
            _cursorBlinkTimer.stop();
            _cursorBlinkTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onCursorTimer);
            _cursor.visible = false;
        }
        
        private static function onCursorTimer(e:TimerEvent):void {
            if(_cursor.visible) {
                _cursor.visible = false;
            } else {
                _cursor.visible = true;
            }
        }
    }
}
