I've got a timer set up using setInterval. The function clears the interval id, attempts to execute and then resets the interval. The problem is that it isn't executing all of the code before the timer is reset:

Code:

function readDB():Void
{ 
   clearInterval(intervalId)
   trace("--clearIntervalId")
   trace("polling db " + myArray.length)
 
   for (var i:Number = 0 ; i < myArray.length; i++)
   {
       var url:String = dbPath + "readData.asp"
 
       trace(i + " reading")
 
       var allData:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
       allData.myLetter = myArray[i].ID
       allData.sendAndLoad(url, allData, "POST") 
 
       allData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
       {
            trace("allData returned: " + success)
 
            if (success)
                trace("DB returns " + this['ID'])
 
        }
    }
 
   intervalId = setInterval(readDB, 1000)
   trace("--setIntervalId\n")
}

The output shows the intervalID is being set before the data is loaded from the database. What's the problem here? Here is some of the output from the trace statements...:

--clearIntervalID
polling db 4
0 reading
1 reading
2 reading
3 reading
--setIntervalId 1

allData returned: true
DB returns id1
allData returned: true
DB returns id2
allData returned: true
DB returns id3
allData returned: true
DB returns id4
--clearIntervalID
polling db id4
0 reading
1 reading
2 reading
3 reading
--setIntervalId 2

allData returned: true
DB returns id1
allData returned: true
DB returns id2
allData returned: true
DB returns id3
allData returned: true
DB returns id4
