hello again

sorry to be a pain

it works great

any chance you can give me instructions on how to do that?

thanks again

here ya go....
check the actions on the varcode layer to see where you can set the count value.....

[debug]

hey again

umm.....i've noticed that the timer automatically loops

is there anyway to stop this...at the end of the 30 seconds after the function that is run?

because i put another frame in and put the stop(); command and told hte movie to goto it when the timer needs to be stopped but alas it keeps on looping

thanks again

Hi.....
I'm not sure what you mean so post the FLA that you have altered(added frame) so i can see........

[debug]

all i've done is taken away the intro frames added a single keyframe at the beginning of the timeline with stop added to it and added a single keyframe right at the end of the timeline which i've added a stop function to.

and then i use that to control if the countdown is working or not.

e.g when the countdown needs to start i just _root.timerThing.gotoAndPlay(2);

and then if i want to stop it i just use:

_root.timerThing.gotoAndStop(5);

which makes the timer disapear however it runs the out of time command every 30 seconds regardless of if its visible or not.

thanks again
