setTimeout

9
Hi, I need a function that is called every certain amount of time (which is variable).

I coded this, but seems to be making some sort of infinite loop, as it hangs the browser (or the OS on old computers)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function slideFotos(seccion){
  2.     //clearTimeout(intervarID);
  3.     if (info[seccion+'0'] != undefined){
  4.         siguiente = _root.photoActual + 1;
  5.         if (info[seccion+siguiente] != undefined){
  6.             photoInfo.url = "img/subidas/"+info[seccion+siguiente];
  7.             _root.TTS = "img/subidas/"+info[seccion+"T"+siguiente];
  8.             _root.photoActual++;
  9.         } else {
  10.             photoInfo.url = "img/subidas/"+info[seccion+'0'];
  11.             _root.TTS = "img/subidas/"+info[seccion+"T0"];
  12.             _root.photoActual = 0;
  13.         }
  14.     }
  15.     intervalID = setTimeout(this, 'slideFotos', (parseInt(_root.TTS)*1000), seccion);
  16. }
How can this be fixed?

Many thanks in avance.
