Problem with timers

[Anonymous]

Hello! I'm trying to play with some images that fades in and fades out in 3" each image, so 6" per image, so I have 2 timers per image, one to fade in and the other to fade out, the thing is that I'm having troubles with the timers when I launch the app with the buttons hidden, the first one starts correctly, but the third one is causing me issues, and so on the next ones.

I'm setting on the Start property of each a context variable, that varies from "time_to_fade_in_[img number]" and "time_to_fade_out_[img_number]", that updates each time a timer ends.

Is it possible that many context variables are causing me issues?

Any other way to achieve this without this issue?

Here the timers

Example of tmr_fadeout (1 and 2 have the same only that the variables changes)

Example of tmr_fadein (same as above)

And the start property of each timer has those context variables

Anyone could give me a hand? 

Thanks!

Hey @Anonymous 

Why not set a variable at the end of the timer to count which iteration you are on, then base your fade logic on the image transparencies on that? That way you would only need the one timer.

tmr_fadeinout

I have attached a sample App that you can open to see what I mean:
