Re: FLASH: Re: how to set getTimer ?????

[Helen Triolo]

Cool, jd does code!  I didn't try it (lazy me) but one thing I did

notice is 


  startTime = null;


which I think must be 


  delete startTime;


if you want to reset startTime to null.  Telling it to be null doesn't

make it so.  (Loose analogy: I tell my son to mow the lawn -> nothing

happens.  I delete the dance on Friday if the lawn isn't mowed -> lawn

gets mowed.  No idea what made me think of that, though all things

considered, I'd much rather write code than try to dream up new ways to

manipulate a 13-year-old...)


Regards,

Helen
