RE: FLASH: GetTimer & Reset

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Well, the first thing that I noticed here is that you are using the frames

as an indication of seconds. Not every computer, actually hardly a lot, will

play at the 24fps so you will find that your seconds are out. Check out

www.bloodykisses.com/flash/datetime/datetest.html and if it looks like what

you need I can send you the .fla.

Subject: FLASH: GetTimer & Reset



Hi,


For a web site about films, I would like to put a counter which will

start as the person is on the web site.


This counter has to count:

1. The minutes

2. The seconds

3. The frames (where 24 frames=1 second)


I would like to use the "GetTimer" function.


So, now how can  you (which action? how to write it?) display the time

of the frames and restarting at "1" after the number "24" and add "1" at

the seconds.


I was trying and couldn't manage the 24 frames part.


Any help?


Thanks


Marc




Here is a script action I was trying but it is displaying the time as

minutes/seconds/centiseconds.

The centiseconds are reseting after "100" and this is not what I need.


If (Now > 1000)

      Set Variable: "Minutes" = Int((Substring ( Now, 1, (Length ( Now )

- 3))) / 60)

      Set Variable: "Seconds" = Int((Substring ( Now, 1, (Length ( Now )

- 3))) - (Minutes * 60))

End If

Set Variable: "Centiseconds" = Int(Substring ( Now, (Length ( Now ) -

2), 2 ))

If (Centiseconds < 10)

      Set Variable: "Centiseconds" = "0" & Centiseconds

End If

If (Seconds < 10)

      Set Variable: "Seconds" = "0" & Seconds

End If

If (Minutes < 10)

      Set Variable: "Minutes" = "0" & Minutes

End If

If (Int(Minutes) > 59)

      Call ("Reset")

End If

Go to and Play ("Get Time")
