static function timer(delayMs : uint, intervalMs : uint, 
    scheduler : IScheduler = null) : IObservable.<int>

Remarks

Examples

var elapsedTime : uint = 0;

Observable.timer(500, 1000)
    .subscribe(function(index : int) : void
    {
        elapsedTime += index;
        trace(elapsedTime + " - " + index);
    });

    // Trace output is:
    // 500 - 0
    // 1500 - 1
    // 2500 - 2
    // 3500 - 3
    // ...
