Timer code help needed

[addamtron]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a timer that will hold on the current frame for seconds (which works) but i'd like to be able to enter half seconds or decimal places as well. so 2.5 sec, not just 2 for example.

Can anyone help? thanks!


// working code so far
displayTime = 3;
countDown = function (message) {
displayTime--;
if (displayTime == 0) {
clearInterval(timer);
play();
}
};
timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);

??? you decide that in miliseconds.. so in your code above..you have 1000 mili-seconds.. (which is 1 second)...you can put 1500 which would be 1.5 seconds.

ya thats what i thought, i want to be able to put the seconds in like 2.5, not change the milliseconds.

?? are you joking? I dont see a difference? add a couple of zeros.

anyways..thats the way the function is set up.

if its THAT big fo a problem..make a function to parse the string how you want it to work. strip out the (decimal) and add/padd with two 00's
