delay

Delays values from the source by a specified amount of time.

function delay(delayMs : uint) : IObservable.<T>

Remarks

Each value emitted by the source will emitted after delayMs milliseconds.

The returned sequence completes when the source sequence completes.

The returned sequence errors when the source sequences errors.

Examples

var source : IObservable = Observable.range(0, 5)
    .delay(1000);

source.subscribe(function(value : int) : void
    {
        trace(value);
    });

// Trace output is:
// 0 (@ 00:00:01)
// 1 (@ 00:00:02)

// 3 (@ 00:00:04)
// 4 (@ 00:00:05)
