FLASH: FLASH operator question pleas help !!!!

[tomasz]

I am trying to create a counter for my head to stop every frame for 5

seconds.



This code doesn't work.


timea = int(getTimer()/1000);

pause = "5";

if (timea < pause) {

    loop = "1";

}

if (timea == (pause * loop)) {

    loop = loop + 1;

}


Instead of adding 1 to loop (so the value becomes 2) it adds 1 beside loop

(so the value becomes 11)


Is there any mistake in my syntaxe when i am using the add operator???



However what is weird is that when i put multiply instead of add the

variable loop behaves properly.  Do you understand why ???



timea = int(getTimer()/1000);

pause = "5";

if (timea < pause) {

    loop = "1";

}

if (timea == (pause * loop)) {

    loop = loop * 2;

}


Regards

tom
